Think Thieves Killed Her.

The authorities of New Brunswick,
who have been investigating the case
of Mrs. Racheal Wright, an eighty
year-old woman, who was found dead
on the floor of her home, with a wound
in her throat, are convinced that she
was murdered. Coroner Moke. who
has been at Old Bridge all day. says
the undertaken discovered that the
woman had been struck on the head
with some blunt instrument. Coroner
Moke says he believes the old woman
went to the door in response to a
knock or a ring, and was struck down
by assailants, who killed her. and then
placed a knife in her hand, hoping
thereby to make it appear that she was
a suicide. Everything of value is gone
from the house except $40 in Mrs.
Wright's p~ocketbook.

Thought Dying. He Escapes.

Though suffering from a disease said
to be mortal, John Langenburg. a
burglar who was undergoing six
months imprisonment at the county

there so i'll that no especial care was
taken that he should not escape. Ian

the present time the general officers
OF the army are nearly all young men.
For twenty-four years Captain Perish
ing has been climbing the ladder OF
military fame. His record is as good
as that Of any man in the United States
army. 1t was such that the president
of the United States thought promotion
to the position Of brigadier general was
poor reward. Let those in the army
who are jealous or enylous show that
degree Of ability and energy possessed
and exercised by Captain Pershlng and
they will have no trouble in preventing
promotions over their heads. This is

PERSHING A

The news of the promotion of Cap
tain John ]. Pershing to the position
of brigadier general will be received
with satisfaction by all but those di-
rectly affected and a few who are per-
sonal enemies of Senator Warren. Cap
tain Pershing has earned his spurs,
He was referred to in a presidential
message in a highly complimentary
N long before he became &C
quainted with Miss Warren. The
Cheyenne Tribune says: 1t was the
publication of his brilliant record in
the Philippines and the unusual refer
ence made by President Roosevelt to
Captain Pershing in his message to
congress in March, 1908, which led in
part to the friendship between Miss
Warren and the captain, which finally
ended in their marriage in 1906.
The appointment of Captain Perish
ing as a brigadier general was decid-
ed upon by President Roosevelt at the
time he said in his message to con-

rendered last spring in the Moro cam

When a physician tells a woman, SUI
fering from female trouble, that an
operation is necessary it, OF course,
frightens Der.
The very thought of the operating
table and the knife strikes terror to
her heart. As one woman expressed
it, when told by her physician that she
must undergo an operation, she felt
that her death knell mad sounded.
Our hospitals are full of women
who are there for just such operationsl
1t is quite true that these troubles
may reach a stage where an operation
is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarer than is generally supposed,
because a great many women have
been cured by Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound after the doctors
had said an operation must be per-
formed. In fact, up to the point where
the knife must be used to secure instant
relief, this medicine is certain to help.
The strongest and most grateful
statements possible to make come from
women who, by taking Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, have
escaped serious operations.
Margrito Ryan, Treasurer of st.
Andrews Society, Indianapolis, Ind,

A Moral Lesson


'ris twelve years since a little dim
pied baby daughter entered Il home to
be cherished and loved by an idoIizing
father and a fond and a~ffectionate
mother. From the moment she opened
her eyes to the light of day until she
lisped the words papa" mama she
was loved and %caressed. Her baby
days were a joy to her parents but not
more so thar when she trudged off to
her first day of school. Each year she
has twined her little arms tighter
around their necks and nestled closer
to their loving hearts. Watching her
in childish innocence how little they
thought that a fiend incarnate was
seeking her with lustful eyes, awaiting
n chance to claim her as his prey.
Strolling TO the garden, 500 yards from
the house wherein she was ushered in
to life, obeying her mothers request TO
get some vegetables for dinner she was
seized by the villain in disguise, a cous-
in, n man of mature years, aud the lit
tie child whose soul was as pure as
the newly fallen snow was L child no
longer. oh God, in thy infinite mercy
look down upon that little household,
Send thy loving protection to her bed,
side, and thy sustaining glate to the
h~eartbroken parents. The fend who
has robbed a little child OF net inro-
cence and spotless purity should suffer

A SERIOUS CONDITION.

Representative Henry of Con
necticnt, member of Congress, in
consultation with President Roose-
welt respecting the packing house
scandals, said that IA satisfactory
meat inspection law will be enact
ed. 1t will be law which will
have teeth, too Now is the time
to demonstrate the size and power
of backbone in the Republican
Congress. We shall see now wheth.
or that body will present bold
front to one of the greatest trusts
in this country. Readers may re-
call the horrors of the English
mad houses and the condition of
English prisons many years ago,
but if the testimony is true the
great American nation, the civil
izer and Christianizer Of the world,
has in her own precincts an out
rage more appalling and horrible
than all the evils of that period.
We have within our doors a more
yillainous and criminal institution
than all the tortures of cowhide
or straight jacket, than all the
abuses of a debtors prison or the
forcible retention Of innocent per-
sons in asylums for the insane.
We have in the great city of Chi
cago and at other points a mann
moth industry furnishing the
American people with poisonous
and putrid meats as daily food,
meats with tumors and sores and
the germs of tuberculosis which
have been separated from other
meats and sent to the 'junkhouse, I"
a place where such meats, reeking
in a stencil so foul that personal
contact is almost impossible, are
treated with a process of borax
and other chemicals and then col
ored and shipped to Georgia and
other Southern States as first class
meats. What a commentary upon
the character of American insti-
tutions.
There is a limit to endurance,
and if Congress fails in this latest
outrage child of the trust, to
provide the means of relief, there
will come a day of reckoning. We
can still harp ON the old saw"
the tariff, but as an Issue it will
not weigh as much as a feather in
the next campaign compared to
the operation of the trusts. The
tarig will be proposed as relief,
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1906-06-15

but il is too tame and insufficient.
1t will furnish little more than
laughing material for the trusts.
The conditions resulting from
the trusts are becoming alarming
and it will take radical measures
to reform them, and the party
which does it will have to drop
the white flag and take up the
cudgel. There is no room for
temporizino.
