Thousands of American women, how
ever, have found relief from all monthly
suffering by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, as it is the most
thorough female regulator known to
medical science. 1t cures the condition
which causes so much discomfort and
robs these periods of their terrors.
Miss Irene Crosby, of 313 Charlton
Street, East Savannah, Ga, writes:
"Lydia E. Pinkham'sVegetable Compound
is a true friend to woman. 1t has been Of
great benefit to me, curing me of irregular
and painful periods when everything else had
failed, and l gladly recommend it to other
suffering women"
Women who are troubled with pain
full or irregular periods, backache,
bloating Tor h~atulence), displacement
of organs, Inflammation or liberation,
that "bearing-down" feeling. dizzi-
ness, faintness, indigestion, nervous
prostration or the blues, should take
immediate action to ward off the seri-
GUS consequences, and be restored to
perfect health and strength by taking
Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and then write to Mrs. Pink
ham, Lynn, Mass, for further free ad-
vice. She is daughter-in-law of Lydia
E. Pinkham and for twenty-five years
has been advising women free Of
charge. Thousands have been cured
by S 10 doing.

and never once have his Official acts
been called into question
"As a private citizen he is a ranch
man. owning a fine ranch property in
the Platte valley, stocked with one Of
the finest thoroughbred Hereford
herds in the west.
"Upon-the creation of the Medicine
Bow forest reserve two years ago he
was proffered the position of super
visor. The tender of this position
came to him, not through political
pull, o of his own seeking, but be-
cause the department of forestry rec
ognized him as the man familiar with
the people and all the attending con-
ditions and it was only after some
months of deliberatlon that he vas in
duced to accept. He came up to his
former high standard of efficiency in
n public capacity and the reserve I'M
der his charge is conceded to be one
of the best managed in existence, and
one which gives the least trouble to
the department, besides rendering to
the department better financial returns
than any other reserve has ever given.
'In the last two campaigns Captain
Davis has served his party as chair
man of the republican county central
committee, and under his leadership
two of the most magnificent victories
in the history of the county have been
won, placing Carbon in the position OF
banner republican county in the state.
He has stood for high party ideals, eff
ncient men in Office, and the conf
dence reposed in him by the people as
evidenced by his success as a politi-
cal leader is n splendid tribute to him,
as well as the measures and men he
has from time to time endorsed.
THAT Captain Davis is the choice
of this county for the position of
United States marshal is evidenced
in the recent county convention when
a resolution endorsing his candidacy
was passed amidst tremendous APP
plause, indicating the most high es-
TEEN in which he is held in all sec
tons. Endorsements received in all
sections of the state also show that
his appointment would meet with ap'
proval, strong and hearty, in a degree
that would be extended to no other as
pirant.
President Roosevelt could make no
better selection, none SO satisfactory
generally, and none that would insure
greater. efficiency in the conduct of
the office" 80

BoYCEs POSTAL PROPOSAL.

The proposition of w. B. Boyce OF
Chicago to take over the operation OF
tho postofiice department is valuable
only in showing that 1t is within the
power of individuals to operate large
concerns at a lesser cost than the gov
eminent Mr.. Boyce agrees to give
the people these results:
First-Reduction to the public by
one-half Of all postage on first and sec.
n class matter, or a rate of l cent
an or fraction thereof on first
class n u cent a pound on second
class matter, except county free for
weeklies, as heretofore.
Second-The wiplng out of the de.
felt annually occurring in the opera,
ton of the postal service as IA govern
ment department.
Third-To pay into the United
States treasury all net profits accru,
ing owe Z per e interest on the
capital invested.
This is not the first time that the
government has been approached on
this matter and 1t viii probably not
be the last time. In the days when
Ton Potter, the great railway a
ager, was at the zenith of his power
he used to say that he would be glad
to take over the operation of the post
office department at so per cent of the
government rates.
Boyce says that he is backed by
capital to the amount of $50, 900 900
and that he will give ample bond for
the handling of the government bust
ness TO the entire satisfaction of a
commission fashioned something af-
ter the Interstate commerce commits
sion.
The question of the continuance of
the rules established by the civil SER
vice as the same relate to the postal
service, the compensation of employees,
the rental of spaces used for post
offices, the money order system, the
registered and special mail, the c.. O..
ID. department, the insurance of deliv-
cry, the extension of free delivery and
rural free delivery, and other details
not herein set forth having been taken
into consideration in making this prop
o~sition, are matters of agreement and
legislation, and Boyce is satisfied all
can be disposed of to the satisfaction
of the government and all parties con.
cerned.
1t is not at all probable that the
offer made by Boyce will be given Sc
rious consideration. 1t has become a
sentiment with the people of the
United States that their government
can handle the postofice business to
better advantage, so far as the people
are concernd, than any private indi-
vidual or corporation, and that policy
will un~questionably be adhered to, no
matter what the cost may be.

AN UNUSUAL CAREER.

Under the above caption the Raw
Inns Republican pays a splendid tri-
butte to Hon. l.. G. Davis, supervisor
of the Medicine Bow forest reserve.
While The Republican is not making
a choice as between the three good
men who are candidates for United
states marshal, 1t believes that all the
Rawlins paper says relating to Cap
tain Davis and republishes the article
for the benefit of its readers, as fol
lows:
Captain Davis has long been a resi-
dent of the state, devoted to every
principle calculated to bring about a
higher standing of citizenhsip, and has
given much of his time n energy to
serving the interests of Wyoming both
as a private and public citizen.
His record in this county and state
is one in which every citizen may well
take pride. His public service has
been in a large measure a matter of
sacrifice on his part, but has always
reflected credit upon himself and his
constituents.
Captain Davis was a member Of he
first legislature of this state, serving
in the house of representatives. In
1894 he was elected sheriff of this
county by a majority of four hundred
votes, the total vote in the county at
that time being only about 1000. Two
years later, when the free silver idea
swept this state and democrats were
largely successful, Mr.. Davis was re-
elected to the same position, his ma
jority this time being swelled to 500.
"a few months before the close oil
his last term DR.. Davis resigned MS
position to enlist in his country's SER
vice during the war with Spain, organ
lied a troop of rough riders in this
county and joined the Second United
States volunteer cavalry under Colonel
Torrey, Mr.. Davis himself being raised
to the rank of captain.
I'm 1896 he was elected state senator
from this county by a majority of
700, and was recognized one of the
most effective legislators in the as
sembly, occupying the position Of vice
president of that body.
His whole political career has
shown him to be a man of exception

the best interests of the state and her
people, having the courage Of his n

ner was explaining to her companion.
a recent resident of Ileriaville. 1t was
a task that often came to Dr. l.. A.
Tours acquaintance.
Ridiculous, isn't it, to speak to
such a looking creature? l tell mother
1 don't know what strangers must
think, but she insists on my speaking
to him, because he was once the best
doctor in this part of the country, and
he saved my life when I was a baby.
But he got to using morphine and has
simply gone down to the dregs. Aw-
full, isn't it?"
1T certainly is. I can't for the life
of me comprehend how a person can
do such things. Especially a doctor
who knows what the consequences
must be-"
ooh, of course not" the other
agreed.
They were young; health raj full
in every vein, and life had been kind.
They went on with a high sense of
virtue lifting them above those whose
feet go down in slippery places.
DR.. La Tour was not observant of
his dwellings, deficiencies as he again
viewed it from his sagging gate. He
stumbled up the broken walk and into
its barren walls quite without thought
of plan for improvement.
The room he entered had once been
a spacious apartment, with frescoed
ceiling and paneled walls, but the
Cupids and garlands were blurred to
v~agueness now, and signs of all pro-
cesses of living were in disordered ev-
idence. 1t was, indeed, the only habi-
table room in the house. Books and
bottles numbered shelves and tables,
and were heaped upon the floor. An
unmade bed with soiled clothing stood
in n corner; a cooking stove with
an overflow of ashes in another. There
were remnants of a frugal meal upon
an oilcloth-covered table near it, and
a smouldering fire in the hearth of
the great fireplace.
The doctor stirred the embers to
what life was possible and, sinking
into a rickety arm chair, spread his
thin, shaking hands over them as IL
to gather their warmth to himself.
He was tired, very tired. His head
sank on his breast, and his eyes
closed. But surely there was season
enough for WEAKNESS. With scarlet
fever raging and but one pair of hands
to fight it, the strength of a man was
sorely tried. Back and forth-back
and forth-from this house to that.
No time to eat or sleep. Fight, fight,
fight INCREASINGLY. the subtle forces of
the disease and the weight of spent
flesh. Back and forth-day and night
with o the wrenched heart of de-
feat and now the exultant pulse OF
triumph. And always the need, the
demand, for alert senses-for strength
that was more than human. Still there
was much that was good in it all. Oh,
very much. The grateful tears of
mothers, the fervent grasp of fathers
hands. He made a cropping gesture to
meet the friendly clasp, but his fin
gers only closed about a small alumni
mum case lying On the broad arm of
the chair.
He stared at it for a moment with
unseeing eyes,, then he mechanically
charged the syringe and, seeking out
with difficulty an unwounded spot of
his shriveled flesh, he drove the por-
ton of Lethe home.
And for the life Of the young drug
gist who must refuse him resting
place, of the young woman who mar
veled at such weakness, and for many
other lives, both useful and useless,
this wreck of a life was the price.
