While no woman is entirely free from
periodical suffering, it does not seem to
be the plan of nature that women
should suffer SO severely. This is a
severe strain on a woman'S vitality.
When pain exists something is wrong
which should be set right or it will
lead to a serious arrangement of the
whole female organism.
Thousands of women have testified
in grateful letters to Mrs. Pinkham
that Lydia e. Pinkharn's Vegetable
Compound overcomes woman's special
pains and irregularities.
1t provides a safe and sure way OF
escape from distressing and dangerous
weaknesses and diseases.

well, an Englishman, author of In

he witnessed a procession of cotton
operatives on strike. They were
marshaled by nationalities with a Gu

cheek by jowl, stood out in vivid con-
trast-the French, the familiar Eng
lish, the Celtic, the Scandinavian, the
Slav. the small Portuguese and the
swarthy Greek. Such a sight can be
seen nowhere else. 1t brought be-

F|NALSTEP into UNION
ABOUT TO BE TAKEN BY THE
TWO TERRITORIES.
THE CAPITAL CITY IS FILLED
With Men Who Make the New Con-
saitution On Tuesday Morning
the Members Will Assemble For
First Time-caucus to Be Held.

Guthrie, Okla, Nov 10. - After a
fight of sixteen years for statehood,
beginning with the opening of Okla
homa and the organization of a terri
torial form of government, the be-
ginning of the final step into the
Union will come Tuesday, when the
112 men who have been elected to
draft the constitution for the new
state assemble in the city hall in
Guthrie. Oklahoma's capital city is
already filled with delegates and by
tomorrow night all will be here.
When the convention completes its
work, it will by ordinance fix the date
for the election to ratify the consti-
tuition. Under the enabling act it
may, and the understanding is that
it will, provide for the election Of
state, legislative, congressional and
county officers at the same time.
The convention will receive pay
for sixty working days. and it is the
general opinion that all of that time
will be consumed Adjournment is
expected the latter part of January.
The election of state officers and for
the ratification of the constitutional
convention will not take place earlier
than MAY. After the result of the
election and the constitution is certi-
fed up to the president if he finds
the instrument in conformity with
the enabling act he must issue his
proclamation admitting Oklahoma
into the Union within twenty days. 1t
is not necessary that the constitution
go to congress, as some enormously
believe.

TO DISSOLVE STANDARD OIL
United States Government Takes In
itial Step by Filing Suit.
POratiOns Be Declared Unlawful
and EnjOined from Continuing.

st. Louis, Mo. - The United States
government Thursday made the mi
tial move to dissolve the Standard
Oil, socalled monopoly, by filing in
the United States district court in
st. Louis, petition in equity
against the Standard Oil company of
New Jersey and its seventy constitu-
ent corporations and partnerships, and
seven defendants, incluing John D.
Rockefeller and William Rockefeller,
asking that the combination be de-
clared unlawful and in the future en-
joined from entering into any con-
tract or combination in restraint of
trade. The suit is brought under the
Sherman antitrust act, which the
Standard and its Constituent compa-
MES and the seven individuals defend
ants are charged with violating. In
formal statement by Attorney Gen
eral Moody he says that criminal pros
ecution is reserved for future con-
sideration
The investigation into methods pur-
sued by the Standard Oil company be-
gan early in 1905 and the results were
laid before congress last May by Pres
ident Roosevelt, who accompanied the
report by a special message denounc-
ing the apparent methods pursued.
The president asserted at the time
that suits would be instituted in the
United States courts to abolish the
combination, and the filing of the
suit marks the initial step.

Four-Footed Thieves,

In Winchester, England, a grocer
began to miss money from his till.
and set his wife to watch. After two
weeks the wife was not able to de-
tect the thief, though money was
stolen almost every day. There were
two clerks in the store, and the
grocer finally called them thieves
and discharged them.
When two others had taken their
places the money continued to dis
appear, and the case was given to the
police. An officer who hid under the
counter solved the problem. He
found bits of paper representing
about $50 that the mice had made
nests of. They had entered the till
through hole in the back and taken
the bills one at time.
The two clerks who had been dis
charged for dishonesty brought suit
for damages, and the other day the
grocer was compelled to pay them
$500 each.
