Krupps Buying Trousseau.

New York, Sept 13,-A cable dis
patch from Berlin says that Frau
Krupp, widow Of the great gunmaker,
and her daughters, Bertha and Bar
bara, have just been here, the object
of their trip being to buy the daugh-
ter's trousseau. Notwithstanding their
immense wealth, not more than $3.50
was spent for each OUTFIT. This mod
est outlay is quite in accordance with
the remarkable simplicity with which
the girls were brought up. Some
newspapers criticise their expendi-
lures, contending that the possession
of riches demands proportionate ex-
penditure. Fraulein Bertha Krupp
is the richest woman in Germany, she
being the principal heir under her
fathers will, is engaged to marry
Gustav Won Bohlen, under secretary
of the Prussian legation to the vati-
can Barbara Krupp, although not
nearly so rich as her sister, is worth
$12,500000. Her fiancee is Baron
Telo Won Wilowski, son of the gov
ernor of Prussian Saxony. Meth
er bridegroom-elect is wealthy.

Havana, Sept. 13.-The insurgents
have set fire to the long bridge of the
Western railroad at Celabaxar, near
Sagua la Grande, but it was not suf-
ticiently burned to precent the pass
age of trains. The rebels are using
locomotive to pull down water tanks,
ETC., along the line. Insurgents are
swarming in and about the town of
Santiago de las Evgas, IL miles south
of Havana and conflict in that city
is imminent.
Four hundred troops were brought
to Havana Thursday morning from

and to assist in attacks on the reb-
els in the outlying towns.
There has been no telegraphic COM
munication whatever today along the
line Of the Western railroad, or over
the government lines to Pinar del Rio.
According to the best information
to be obtained the rebel force under
Pine Guerara is moving to the east
ward along the southern edge Of the
Pinar del Rio mountains and other
banks, which constantly receive addi-
tions from the localities through which
they pass are committing depreda-
tions along the line of the railroad.
All indications point to the concen-
tration outside of Havana city Of the

vana provinces.

Is a heritage too sacred to be expert.
mented with. For her peculiar and deli
cate ailments only medicines of known
composition and which contain no alco-
hol, narcotics, or other harmful or habit
forming drugs should be employed. Such
medicine is DR.. Pierce'S Favorite Pre-
scription-a remedy with record of over
forty years of cures to recommend it; a
remedy, the makers of which print it's
formula on every bottle-wrapper and at
test its completeness and correctness
under oath; a remedy devised and adapted
to woman's delicate constitution by an
educated physician-an experienced spe-
cfaffst in wOman's diseases; a remedy,
every ingredient of which has received
the written endorsement of the most emil
nent medical writers of all the several
schools Of practice for the cure of woman's
peculiar diseases; a remedy which has
more bO7lG-JtCIe cures to its credit than
any other sold by druggists for Woman's
special requirements. 1t is not given
away in the form of Utrial bottles" to be
experimental with, but is sold at a fair
price by all dealers in medicines.
If a woman has bearing down, or drag
ging pains, low down in the abdomen, or
pelvis, backache, frequent headaches,
dizzy or fainting spells, is nervous and
easily startled, has gnawing feeling in
stomach, sees imaginary floating specks,
or spots before her eyes, has melancholia,
or "blues," or a weakening disagreeable
drain from pelvic organs, she can make
no mistake by resorting to the use of DIR.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t will
invigorate and tone up the whole system
and especially the pelvic organs.
No woman suffering from any of the
above symptoms can afford to accept any
secret nostrum or medicine of unknown
composition, as substitute for medi-
cine like DR.. Pierce'S Favorite Prescrlp-
tion, which is OF KNOWN COMPOSITION and
has record of over forty years and sells
more largely to-day than ever before. Its
makers withhold no secrets from their
patients, believing open. publicity TO be
the very best guaranty of merit.
DR.. Pierce invites all suffering women
to consult him by letter free of charge.
All letters of consultation are held as
sacredly confidential and an answer is re-
turned In plain sealed envelope. Address:

st. Petersburg, Sept. 13-The re-

press of st. Petersburg for the first
time to present a picture of me con-
ditions in the rayaged town AS in

ity@Of the mob and the destruction
wrought by bOmbardment and sub
sequent fire, are placed higher, run

lars. Although ii is said officially
that forty-four persons were killed,
correspondents enumerate sixty-two
corpses, mostly of Jews, which have
been gathered on the streets, in the
houses and various hospitals for bur-
ial The number of corpses buried
privately or consumed in burning
buildings, may add another score to
this number.
A pitltul feature Of the eXceSses
was the death of many wounded per-
sons who were abandoned by their
friends in houses from which the peo-
pie were froced to fee for their lives.
Firemen are searching the deserted
houses for bodies.
There is reason to believe this at
tack on the Jews is traceable to the
murder of an official on Aug. 21, and
the events of Saturday supplied the
necessary spark to infiame the pas
sions of the soldiers. This view is
supported by an article in the semi
official Russian newspapers publish
ed in Warsaw which attributes the
rage shown by the soldiers to this
cause.
