ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 25. Great
wrath in Liberal circles was aroused by
the publication of a letter of Mile.
Spiridonovo, a l7.year-old girl who shot
Luzhenofrsky, the chief of the secret
police at Tamboff, which describes the
indignities and brutalities to which sle
was subjected.
The letter says that after the shoot
ing OF Luzhenoffsky she was knocked
down and beaten by the whips of the
Cossacks and their rifle butts. Then
she was dragged downstairs by the hair
to a sleigh and taken to the police sta
tion where she was undressed and
thrust into a damp cold cell, where she

the names of her aeeomplices.
The girl says two officers took brutal
pleasure in kicking her back and forth
across the cell, tearing her hair, and
burning her flesh with cigarettes and
threatening her abandonment to the
Cossacks unless she confessed.
She is now in hospital in a serious
condition. Her skull is fractured in two
places, one eye injured, and her body a
mass of bruises.

and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1913 she married Isaac Pinkham,
builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in a physician only in specially
urgent cases. By tradition and ex-
perience many of them gained won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; SO, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex-
pressly designed to cure the various
Ills and weaknesses Of the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi-
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief of these was rare combina-
ton of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu-
liar to the female sex, and Lydia E. Pink
hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, with
out money and without price, as a
labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were too
much for the large real estate interests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, so when the Centen-
NAL year dawned it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound was made known
to the world.
The three sons and the daughter,
with their mother, combined forces to

may be caught between the loops. The
sides Of each loop frame are connected
by intermediate bars, the trigger swing
ing from these bars when the loop
frames are distended. The trigger will
thus hold the trap in set position, and a
slight pressure applied to the trigger
from either side will spring the trap and
catch the animal between the loop
frames In setting the trap it is prefer
ably concealed, except the line of access
to the trigger, so that an animal APP
preaching the trap will be certain to
spring the same, and by reason of the
form of the loop frames and the location
of the trigger the animal will be caught
by the neck or around the body and thus
either instantly killed or SO badly in
jured as to die very quickly. Chains or
other means of fastening the trap to
stakes or clogs can be employed when
required. In catching some forms of
animals bait can be attached to the trig
ger The trap can also be constructed
of any size for trapping animals of DIFF
ferent sizes or species.

restore the family fortune. They
argued that the medicine which was
SO good for their woman friends and
neighbors was equally good for the
women Of the whole world.
The Pinkhams had no money, and
little credit. Their first laboratory
was the kitchen, where roots and
herbs were STEPPED on the stove,
gradually filing a gross of bottles.
Then came the question of selling
it, for always before they had given
it away freely. They hired job
printer to run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits Of the medi-
cine, now called Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, and these were
distributed by the Pinkham sons in
Boston, New York, and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties of
the medicine were, to a great extent,
self-advertising, for whoever used it
recommended it to others, and the de-
mand gradually increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts the fam
lily had saved enough money to COM
mence newspaper advertising and from
that time the growth and success of
the enterprise were assured, until to-
day Lydia e Pinkham and her Vege-
table Compound have become house.
hold words everywhere, and many
tons of roots and herbs are used annu-
ally in it's manufacture.
Lydia E. Pinkham herself did not
live to see the great success of this
work. She passed to her reward years
age, but not till she had provided
means for continuing her work as
Oh =
herself.
During her long and eventfu1 expe-
rience she was ever methodical in her
work and she was always careful to pre-
serve record of every case that came to
her attention. The case of every sick
woman who applied to her for advice
and there were thousands-received
careful study, and the details includ-
ing symptoms, treatment and results
were recorded for future reference, and
to-day these records, together with
hundreds of thousands made since, are
available to sick women the world
over, and represent a vast collabora-
ton of information regarding the
treatment of woman's ills, which for
authenticity and accuracy can hardly
be equaled in any library in the
world.
With Lydia E. Pinkham worked her
daughter in law, the present Mrs.
Pinkham. She was carefully instructed
in all her hard-won knowledge, and
for years she assisted her in her vast
correspondence.
To her hands naturally fell the
direction of the work when it's origina-
tor passed away. For nearly twenty
five years she has continued it, and
| nothing in the work shows when the
first Lydia E. Pinl1ham dropped her
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham,
now the mother of large family, took
it up. With women assistants, some as
capable as herself, the present Mrs.
Pinkham continues this great and
probably from the Office of no other
person have SO many women been adj
| vised how to regain health. Sick wo-
men, this advice is ''Yours for Health"

went to work to get up large meeting,
and they succeeded.
The speech was a rouser. When the
colonel had spoken an hour and a half
the crowd demanded that he 90 on, and
he did 90 on for another hour, and when
| he sat down cheer after cheer was given
the young speaker; cheers that were as
| loud and as enthusiastic as those given
the presidential candidate.
| A great many Democrats kept their
promise to 90 to the meeting, but a good
share of them Joined in cheering Gen.
Grant and Col. SpOoner, and ceased, from
that time. to be Democrats.
| From that day to this that boy pas
senger of 1868 has been one of the great
est men in Wisconsin, in the eyes of the
people of B.
In intellectual strength and moral and
physical courage Senator Spooner has
not, now, and never has had, any SUI
periors among Wisconsin's public men,
1t may be doubted if he has any in the
nation. There has not been session of
Congress during his terms in the Senate
when he has not we'll demonstrated the
truth of the statement, so far as intel
lectual strength goes. His moral courage
is unquestioned by those who know him
best.
In city Where Col Spooner went to
attend court there lived a brutal bully
who was deemed dangerous character
when IN liquor, and he was sure to be
drunk on all unusual occasions, such as
a term of the circuit court. On his way
n the in
or three other lawyers, Spooner and his
friends were advised to take another
street, as "Bruiser Bill' would soon meet
them, and as he was blind drunk there
would likely be trouble.
THANK you,' said Col. Spooner, E'but
we will stick to this street"
'Brlliser Bill" was talking to a lady
when the lawyers came along. He had
made an insulting remark to her, which
Spooner heard.
Come on, colonel; that fellow will
chew you up in minute said one of
the lawyers, as he saw SpoOner throw
off his coat and face "Bruiser Bill
L can thrash any cowardly dog that
insults a woman"
The brutal bully made a savage pass
at Spooner, but that gentleman escaped
the blow, and before the terror of the
town could gather himself for new at
tack the lawyers chubby fist hit him in
the right spot, and ''Bruiser Bill' fell
like shot bullock, and he didn't need
hitting again that, or any other, dav.
The lesson made Il sober, decent man of
him.
Wisconsin has had a reasonable share
OF able, strong, successful men in the
Senate during the past fifty-seven years,
but it is no disparagement to say that
none OF them ever held the warm place
in the hearts of the people that Senator
Spooner has and does. He is great in
character, intellect and deeds. Three
Presidents would have been glad to have
him in their cabinets, but Wisconsin
would have rebelled had he shown a dis
position to accept. They knew, and now
the nation knows, that John c. Spooner
IS worth more to the country in the
United States Senate than he would be
in the cabinet.-1he Evening Wisconsin.
