when .the little birds began their ac-

stencil of some of his decisions of the

over night, for the first thing he did
when the dawn of the morning after

friendly train bore him out of further

Every mother possesses information
which is of vital interest to her young
daughter.
Too often this is never impaired or is
withheld until serious harm has result
ed to the growing girl through her
ignorance of natures mysterious and
wonderful laws and penalties.
Girls over-sensitiveness and modesty
often puzzle their mothers and battle
physicians, as they so often withhold
their confidence from their mothers
and copeeal the symptoms which ought
to be told to their physician at this
critical period.
When a girls thoughts become slug
gish, with headache. dizziness or dis
position to sleep, pains in back or lower
limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude;
when she is a mystery to herself and
friends, her mother should come to her
aid, and remember that Lydia. E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound will at
this time prepare the system for the
coming change, and start this trying
period in a young girls life without
pain or Irregularities.
Hundreds of letters from young girls
and from mothers, expressing their
gratitude for what Lydia E. Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound has accomplished
for them, have been received by the
Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., at
Lynn, Mass.
Miss Mills has written the two fol
lowing letters to Mrs. Pinkham, which

ton from fire last night was accom-
plished in a spectacular msnner with

wiring near the roof of the senate
chamber, destroying the capitol's east
ern wing above the first floor. The loss
was between $4,000 and 100000.
Among the vaIuables in the senate
chamber, where the roof fell in, was
the famous painting, 1.-The Battle Of
New Orleans" valued at $4,000.
Governor Blanchard directed the
work of saving valuable papers. The
legislature now being in session, the
senate will meet today in the Elks'
theater.
The capitol is an imposing piece of
architecture on the bank Of the Mis-
sissippi. It was first built in 1s47, and
was destroyed By fire during the civil

From the manner in which the To-

cious hitters in the league, are being

likely their fat batting averages will

held, three of which Topeka lost, they
fell short of IS hits. At Webb City
where they played three games, they
Joplin in three games they made II
hits. This is a team average of about
.230, and is far too small to land the
pennant in the Western association.
