SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 24.-By a
miracle the Pacific Mail steamer City

shock of the hurting waters. Yester-

Her first letter:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
~ have been q sufferer for the past eight
years with q trouble which first originated
from painful periods-the pains were excruci-
eting, with inflammation and liberation of the
female organs. The doctor says I must have
an operation or l cannotl live. I do not want
to submit to an operation il I can possibly
avoid it. Please help me."-Mre. Mary
Dimmick, Washington, D. G.
Her second letter:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"You will remember my condition when ]
last wrote you, and that the doctor said
must have ar operation or I could not live.
I received your kind letter and followed your
advice very carefully and am now entirely
well. AS my case was SO serious it seems q
miracle that I am cured. know that I owe
not only my health but my life to Lydia E.

would read this letter and realize what you
can do for them."-Mrs. Mary Dimmick, 50tt

New Remedy For Cancer.

A Scotch doctor. with an Edinburgh
degree, who has for nine years been
engaged In canoe research, states
that he Is able to cure cancer by a
secret remedy. the exact nature of
which he declines to disclose. He
claims to have cured eight cases, and
n is at present in the Manchester
Royal inlirmary under the observation
Of another doctor for the purpose of
verifying his conclusions. 1t is on the
lines Of the theory of the cancer re-
search committee that a cure would be
effected by stopping the p%roliferation
of cancer cells that he has worked.
Hitherto he has devoted himself to ex
ternal cancer, but is now administer
ing his remedy in n case of internal
disease.-London Telegraph.

Investigating Murder Conspiracy.

BOISE, Feb. 28.-It has been def.
nitely decided that the investigation
OF the case against Meyer and his
associates for the murder of former
Governor s~teunenberg shall begin be.
fore the grand jury at Caldwell to.
morrow. 1t is not known whether
Orchard, who is said to have con.
fessed to his part in the crime, will be
taken before the jury.
In the statement made by Governor
Gooding respecting the confession
made by Orchard, it was stated that
the prisoner had told of two unsuc.
cessful attempts to kill the former
governor. One of these was an effort
to shoot him at his home a week or 80
before the murder. A favorable
opportunity did not arrive. Prior to
that, it seemed, a bomb was laid in
the pathway taken by the governor.
1t was arranged with a wire stretched
across the path. The intended victim,
however, unconsciously stepped over
the wire and never knew how close to
death he was.
That was the same bomb afterward
used for killing him. The bomb was
like the one laid for Judge Goddard
in Denver, having a bottle of sulph-
uric acid so arranged that the cork
would be drawn by a pull of the wire.
When the successful attempt was
made a long Ash line was attached TO
the wire, the bomb being tied to the
inside of the gate post. A pull on the
line fired the Internal machine and &C.
complished the object. The u~nsuccess-
ful attempt was made in November,
Orchard spent two weeks in Caldwell
during that month, from the 7th to
the 22d.
