BULLET GRAZED HER NECK.

Mrs. Edward Taylor, of Newport,
wife of Capt. Ed. Taylor, formerly of
this city, now travelling for St. Louis
dry goods house, had miraculous es-
cape from death in her home Friday
evening. Mrs. Taylor was standing in
the dining room preparing the table for
supper when suddenly she heard click
on the pane of glass in the window and
the next moment felt sharp pain in
her neck. A stray bullet had struck
her, grazing the skin and causing
slight abrasion. Had Mrs. Taylor
moved her head half an inch at the
time the bullet struck the window
glass it undoubtedly would have pierced
her juglar vein, causing instant death.
Upon being struck Mrs. Taylor scream
ed and her husband and son ran into
the back yard in an effort to find trace
of the gun user, but without success,
Mrs. Taylor was still PROSTATE Satur-
day morning from the shock. She de-
clares that she has no enemies and
does not believe an attempt was made
to take her life. She is of the opinion
the bullet was fired by reckless youth
who was shooting at random.

are dependent upon their fmporta-

The sheep that bear this particular
grade of wool are not good for any
other purpose, and are not profitable
enough to tempt the American farmer,

FOREIGNERS IN RUSSIA.
Obstacles That are Placed in the Way
Of Their investigations.


In relating an interview with
Russian official, in his article Rus
sian Peasant Riots" in Everybodys
Ernest Poole says:
"The Chancellor smiled.
"'Not long ago. he replied, "a gen.
tleman came here with just such a
letter. But meanwhile the Governor
had received different orders from
some one else in Petersburg. The
gentleman did not see the peasants.
Let's get out of this said,
speaking low in English. Let's hire
a sleigh, and just begin looking as
we did in those other villages. At
least we can see something before we
get expelled
unfortunately the Chancellor
caught my meaning.
eff you try to see the peasants by
yourselves he said, you will not only
be watched by the police, but some
at least Of the peasants to whom you
talk will be our spies We have tele-
phones to every village, and in two
hours at latest we shall know not only
whom you have seen, but also what
you yourselves hays said. Meanwhile
you will have been seized and thrown
into a village jail, awaiting our ord
ers.' He smiled grimly. Our village
police are rough fellows. They would
doubtless fog you both in Jail before
we could inform them who you were.
OF course, we should be, sorry for this
and should reprimand them. But in
the meantime, you see, you would
have been logged"

rake YOU irritable; you Ican't sleep.
YOU are unable to quietly and calmly
perform your daily tasks or care for
your children.
The relation of the nerykes and gem
erative organs in womana is so close
that nine-tenths Pf the NERVOUS pros
tration, nervous debility the blues,
sleeplessness and nervous irritability
arise from some ,derangeBment of the
organism which makes hfer a woman.
Fits of depression or rest lessness and
irritability spirits easily affected, so
that one minute she laughs, the next
minute weeps; pain in the abdominal
region and between thse shoulders;
loss of voice; gervous dyspepsia; q
tendency to cryY at the lseast provoca-
tion-all these point to nervous pros
tration.
Nothing will relieve this distressing
condition and prevent mdnths of pros
tration and su ffering so su rely as Lydia
e. Pinkhams Veg able compound.
Mrs. NJ. z. shdtwel, of 1O3 Flatbush
Avenue, BROOKLYN, N. Z ( writes:
81 cannot express the wo Ilderful relief I

a long time with nervous prCb stration, back
ache, headache, loss of app bite / could

II had three doctors and gdt no better, and
life was a burden I was advised to try
Lydia e. PinkheFn's Vegetable Compound,
and it has worked wonders folr me-
II am well woman, my nervousness is all

Will not the volumes off letters from
women made strong by Lydia e. Pink

all women of its virtues !? Surely you
cannot wish TO remailh sick. weak

when you can be as eshsily cured as
