While no woman is entirely free from
periodical suffering, it does not seem to
be the plan of nature that women
should suffer SO severely. This is a
severe strain on a woman's vitality.
When pain exists something is wrong
which should be set right or it will
lead to a serious arrangement OF the
whole female organism.
Thousands of women have testified
in grateful letters to Mrs. PinkhaIn
that Lydia Il. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound overcomeS woman's special
pains and irregularities.
II provides a safe and sure way of
escape from distressing and dangerous
weaknesses and diseases.
The two following letters tell so con-
vincingly what Lydia l.. PinlIham' S
Vegetable Compound will do for
women, they cannot fail to bring hope
to thousands of sufferers.
Miss Nellie Holmes, of $40 n. Division
Street. Buffalo, n. Y, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:---

Such testimony should be accepted
by all women as convincing evidence
that Lydia +. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound Stands without a peer as a

MINERS STILL TALKING.
Committee of SeUen ReUises Terms
To Be Submitted.

The eght-hour work day for Outside men," the
adjustment OF the blacklist and the establish
ment of three boards of Cancellation were the major
topics OF discussion yesterday at the meeting of the
mine workers committee of seven in the Ashland
House President Mitchell in the chair. The
committee kept indoors all the morning revising the
terms that TO be submitted TO the coal oper-
ators committee. of which the eight-hour, black
list and Cancellation board said to be the I'M
portant features The outside men, for whom the
greasers tippemen. trappers and all labor hired by
the coal companies by the day These work nine
hours day at present. An eight-hour or a nine
hour day IS not OF much concern TO the individual
miner the union as a whole. for the reason that
the miner usually quits when he chooses though. a
a rule. the more industrious class work nine and
ten hours daily spending the overtime in pre-
pairing for the days work.
The indifference of the miner to ninehOur or
an eight hour day is strong card in the operate
hand and will likely be used effectively, the
committee itself is enthusiastic about this
tcular point. The last time the agreements were
signed this demand was denied. There is a gen
erai feeling however, that the operators will Yield
to the demand for the adjustment of the blacklist
The Panther Run mine has already set a precedent
by abolishing this list.
The mine workers hold that the establishment of
settling vexing petty questions that from time
to time. They say the present single board system
accomplishes nothing. President Mitchell would
not discuss Dolan or any other subject yesterday.
1t is thought the committee may finish its work
by Tuesday morning.

BOOST PRICE OF CIGARS.
Shortage in Cuban Tobacco Crop Likely to
Affect Only the Middleman.

The dealers in Cuban made cigars in all parts of
the world are confronted by advance in price on
all brands exported direct from Havana or sold I'm
the Cuban capital for export. The Havana Tobacco
Company has issued circular to customers an
nouncing advance of 50 thousand on Havana
prices. Other manufacturers have attained the
end by Withdrawing one-half of the 10 per
discount heretofore given to the jobbers 1t
has been the custom of the wholesale dealer to
divide the 10 per discount with the retailer but
will hereafter pay the list price.
1t was explained by a identified with a largo
manufacturer of Havana cigars that the advance
was due entirely to the short crop of Cuban tobacco
for the year. THE tobacco In Cuba" said he sis

not only did II destroy much of the mati,rine
crop, but washed out the seeding beds The result

THE shortage would justify an advance or 90

NO STOCK INFL4TION.
Party to Heinze Purchase Denies
This and Merger RHqnOr.

The rumor that the sale OF the Helnzs copper
properties, In Montana would cause imitation OF
the stock was contradcted last night by one OF the
parties to the purchase who refused TO permit the
use Of his name He said that there would be no
stock offered for subscription He also discounted
the rumor that the sale foreshadowed a merger OF
all the copper interests of the country. saying:
The plain statement is that the principal proper
ties of the United Copper Company In the vicinity
of Butte have been purchased by Thomas F. Cole.
Of Duluth; John D. RYAN and their associates. who
Will organize new company to operate them In
III the new company has been formed the title OF
the properties taken will be vested IN Mr.. cole
The capitalization of the new company will involve
no element of inflatiOn-not for commissions
In the transaction-but will represent the actual
cost of the properties acquired Furthermore there
will be no stock offered for subscription.
To Mr.. Ryan belongs the credit OF communicating
the deal, and the accomplishment OF the task was
attended by many difficulties The animating pur-
pose was 10 end the litigation for which large
OF money were constantly being expended, and In
which energy was being wasted that might be
turned to profitable account in the operation OF the
mines.
Mr.. Heinze was equally anxious with the others
to have end of litigation see the properties
IN productive operation, but the difficulty was to
bring about such condition. 1t is this that Mr..
Ryan has accomplished. And the properties that
have been idle by OF litigation will be active
and labor will be more largely employed In their
development.
