The Hughes Waltz.

Several light stepping gentlemen
who without knowing it are about 49,
777,328 years ahead Of their time, and
who call themselves the Dancing Mas
ters' association, have met and very
solemnly pronounced a divorce between
the waltz and the hug.
Doubtless their intentions are the
very best, but II they think that a
waltz Is a languid conversation over a
long distance telephone they have sew:
eral large and noisy facts concerning
human nature to learn.
If they think that the spirited young
man is to be content to look at his love-
" partner through a long distance tele-
scope as they glide through the may
waltz they have not had a heart to
heart talk with the youth Of America
lately.
It may be that the waltz needs re-
forming and needs it badly, but the
only way to do 1t Is to prohibit all
those under eighty years from engaging
In that dance.

Three FACTS
For Sick Women
To Consider

F1RsT.-That almost every operation
in our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms as backache, Irregular
and painful periods, displacements
of the female organs, pain in the side,
burning sensation in the stomach,
bearing down pains, nervousness, diz-
ziness and sleeplessness. .. ......
SEcoND.-The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number of
absolute cures of female ills is Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
1t regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases Of the female organism as
nothing else can. b.. Z. -. ......
For thirty years it has been helping
women to be strong, curing backache,
nervousness, kidney troubles, inham-
nation Of the female organs, weak
ness and displacements, regulating
the periods perfectly and overcoming
their pains. 1t has also proved itself
Invaluable in preparing women for
childbirth and the change Of life.
TH1RD.-The great volume of unso-
icited and grateful testimonials on ile
at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, many of which are from time to
time published by permission, give ab-
solute evidence of the value of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinkham's advice. -.
Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation
to Woraen.-Women suffering from any
form of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs. Pink
ham. at Lynn, Mass. All letters are
received, opened. read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way of recovery
advised. Mrs. Pinkham is daughter
in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for
twenty-five years under her direction
and since her decease she has been ad-
vising sick women free of charge. Out OF
the vast volume of experience in treat
ing female ills Mrs. Pinkham probably
has the very knowledge that will help
your case. Surely, any womsn, rich or
poor, is very foolish if she does not take
advantage of this generous offer OF
assistance.

A GENEROUS CRITIC,

John Oxenford was for years the
leading theatrical critic Of London
Mr.. oxenford was troubled with a seri'
ous bronchial affection, which occa'
sionally disturbed the audience, for ht
refused to give up his beloved theater,
although desperately Ill. A certain ris'
ing young actor was very anxious to
obtain Oxcnford's valuable opinion ou
his work, and the tender hearted old
gentleman literally left his bed and
came down TO the theater on bitter
cold night to do good action to 0
clever youngster. In the middle OF one
Of the actors finest scenes on came the
cough from the 0xenford box. 1t con-
tinued so long that it unnerved the
actor, and he came to a dead stop. To
the surprise Of everybody he advanced
to the front and said, Ladies and gen
tlemen, l am sorry to say that unless
the old gentleman with the irritating
cough retires temporarily from the
theater l really cannot so on. l forget
everything 1t is painful so to address
you, but / am powerless in the matter

The disturbance at once ceased, end

FROM THE PEN TO THE ASYLUM
Unusual State of Affairs Keeps Trill-
wood From Freedom.

A. B. Trillwood, the man who eight
years ago shot j. Frank Adams, also
his son, Willie, and fired several shots
at Mrs. Adams, has been released on
the charge of assault with a deadly
weapon on the boy after having served
over seven years for shooting Mr..
Adams. In speaking of the trial the
klamath Republican says:
In the case of the state VS.. A. B..
Trillwood, held on a charge of assault
with a deadly weapon, made on Will
liam Adams August IL, 1898, some
what remarkable state of affairs
arose. The court appointed as his
attorneys Judge Drake and C. F.
Stone. A demurrer was prepared by
them and also one by the defendant
himself. Both were submitted to the
court and were sustained, and the in
dictment, which is the same so far as
facts are concerned, as the one upon
which he was convicted and served
seven years in the penitentiary, was
thrown out of court.
This had the effect Of liberating
Trillwood, for the reason the statute
| of Limitation had run against the
| crime charged, and he could not be
re-indicted.
District Attorney Moore asked the
court that Trillwood be remanded to
the custody of the sheriff in order
that the question Of his sanity nigh,
be looked into. This was vigorously
opposed by the defendant, who main.
tanned he was no more insane than the
district attorney. He was, however
taken to the jail by the sheriff, ant

ENGINE STOPPED ITSELF.
Although it Ran Away and Dropped
1000 Feet I'm II Miles.

Engine No. 476, working on the hill
between Kendrick and Troy, stands
on the sidetrack in the Northern Pa
cific yard at Kendrick, says the Ga
zette, with its tender gone and its cab
badly dilapidated as the result of
freight train striking the lone engine
at Troy last night and sending 1t on
its way down the II mile hill without
fireman or engineer.
The only thing that saved the en-
gine from a mad flight down the 1000
feet fall in the IL miles, or its de-
struction by jumping the track on one
of the numerous curves, was the man.
ner in which the cab was wrecked. 1t
seems when the train struck the ten
der it forced it against the cab in such
shape as to force the cab ahead onto
the boiler about two feet, allowing 1t
to rest on the hind driving wheels on
one-inch cast plates. These plates
| rested on the flanges of the big driv-
ers and wore down until the plates
rubbed on the beds of the wheels and
served as brake. The engine when
started was set on dead center and
had a live fire.
Parties who saw the engine say that
its speed was not very fast when 1t
reached here as the engine came to a
dead stop about one-half mile below
the depot. Here it was picked up by
the engine on the Owl train that had
been sent out from Juliaetta where
the train was side-tracked on orders,
| as it was feared that the engine might
have gained considerable speed as II
came down the mountain and liable
to come along any minute at a ter
rifle pace. On account of the side
/ steps being gone and the cab pushed
ahead, there was no way of getting
on the engine.
