restore the family fortune. They
argued that the medicine which was
so good for their woman friends and
neighbors was equally good for tho
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 gross Of bottles.
Then came the question OF selling
IT, for always before they had given
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 q great extent,
self-advertising, for whoever used it
recommended it to others, and the do.
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 T.. Pinkhnm and her Vegc-
table Compound have become house.
hold words everywhere, and many
tons of roots and herbs are used annu.
ally in its manufacture.
Lydia E. Pinkham herself did not
live 20 see the great success of this
work. She passed to her reward years
ago, but not till she had provided
means for continuing her work -
effectively as she could have done It
herself.
During her long and eventful expe-
rience she was ever methodical in her
work and she was always careful toPre-
serve n 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-rcceived
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, arc
available to sick women the world
over, and represent . vast collsbora-
tion of information regarding tho
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 MrA
Ilnknum. Sne WIS carefully lnstt ucUeQ
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 Its origins-
tor passed away. For nearly twenty
five years she hns continued It, and
nothing in the work shows when tho
first Lydia Z. Pinkhnm dropped her
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham,
now the mother of large family, took

In 1s43 she married Isaac Pinkham.

their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and Q

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 n 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 n 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, IL 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

Patrick wrote two books, "The Epis.

The former denounced Coroticus for
killing converts on the northeast coast
OF Ireland; the latter is Patrick's auto.

Major John Bigelow. Jr..
Gentleman and Soldier

Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles
has been succeeded as military ad-
wiser to Curtis Guild. Jr., governor of
massachusetts,. by Major John Bige-
low, Jr., formerly OF the Tenth United
states Cavalry, and now on the re-
tireo list or the army. Governor
Guild has plain.speaking man as an
adviser. but the plain speaker is q
soldier.
Major Bigelow graduated from the
United States Military Academy in
the year 1877. He Joined the Tenth
(colored) Cavalry as second lieuten-
ant. and before he had been in the
service year he received injuries in
the line OF duty which laid him up for
a time. The War department ordered
him to West Point as an instructor in
French. The majors father for years
was United States minister at Ma.
poleon Ills court, and the youth OF
the son having been passed In Paris
ne knew French as he knew English.
The French instructor was still a
second lieutenant when he entered on
his duties at the military academy.
The plebs to whom he taught the in
tricacies of the French verb loved
him. He knew how to teach, and
his section room was the only one
In the whole academic building where
the air wasn't frosty summer and
winter.
The old saying to the effect that the
bravest are the tenderest finds its
proof In John Bigelow. The man who
won the admiration of every soldier
In the world by the way in which he
faced death at Santiago, where he
was four times wounded, always
WINGED when he was compelled to give
a cadet low mark for recitation. Or
dinarily West Point instructor would
drop n student to lower section
, after week or so of poor recitations,

pressure of other studies had not
necessitated a temporary letting up
In the one particular branch.
On the part Of one there Is n kind
ly remembrance of Instructor Bige-
lows acts in helping over hard places
and OF his persistence in keeping n
careless one under his Immediate
charge rather than to drop him to
the tender mercies of another instruc.

matter of declensions and conjuga-
tions. II is some satisfaction to re-

treats. It was not long before Blge-
low, promoted to a captaincy. had
ample chances to learn that subor-
dinate officers duty in warfare has
more to do with plain fighting than
with the principles of strategy. Bige-
low is fighter. He has the instinc-
tive stick to the death" feeling OF
the man who Is made wholly OF soldier
stuff.
Captain Bigelow's old regiment, the
Tenth cavalry, was ordered to Cuba
as part OF General Skaters army.
The captain obtained release from
his duties In Boston by telegraph and
Joined his black troopers at Charles
ton.
When the Rough Riders had re-
ceived check early in the San Juan
Hill game the Tenth cavalry was or
dered to go to their support. Captain
Bigelow led his dismounted troop
solid mile through the interlaced un-
dergrowth, hard body and soul
wearying task.
The command reached the open,
and the Mauser bullets of the SIan-
iards began dropping. The men ad-
vanced with a rush. Captain Bigelow
leading A shot struck his sword
arm and the weapon fell from his
grasp. He picked it up quick as 1t
had fallen, and when two of his men
offered first aid to the injured the
captain lied like soldier and gen
tleman and said he wasn't hurt.
On they went. Bigelow at the front
being commanding mark for the
sharpshooting enemy. A bullet
struck him in the body and he went
to earth. He was up again instanter.
and when his juniors urged him.
doubly wounded as he was, to go to
the rear he pointed ahead and went
on with his men.
The command covered 200 yards,
following in the wake OF their twice
striken leader, when third bullet
found It's mark. Bigelow went to
earth again with a hole through his
leg Just above the knee.
Litter bearers came and sought to
take the hero back. He ordered them
away and like old General Herkimer
at the battle OF Oriskany. he told his
man to place him against tree with
his face to the enemy. He stood
there with the tree trunk for a sup
port calmly issuing orders until an
other bullet struck him In the body
and sent him into the land OF uncon-
tnc Jcweny.

FOUR FIREMEN KILLED

Frank Gibson Among Number,

Sunday Was Fatal Day on Santa Fe,
Frank Gibson Among Number.
Four Santa Fe hremen we're killed on
last Sunday. Frank Gibson well known
young man Of Dodge City and son of
rhos. Gibson Of this place was among the
number.
At Offerle slde-rod became de-
tached and stripped the engine. Fire
man Gibson was struck by the rod and
instantly killed. He was struck upon
the side of the head. His skull was
crushed and the blow extended downward
breaking his jaw bone little to one side
of the chin. Tne engineer escaped injury.
Later In the evening the young mans
body was brought to his home In Dodge
City.
The same night Fireman j. M. Sheldon
was killed east Of Offerle
The second fatal accident was caused
by the engine boiler exploding. Fireman
Sheldon had just started to put some coal
10 the fire when the explosion occurred
Both ends Of the boiler were blown out
Burning cinders were imbedded In the
slde Of Sheldon's head. 1t was after night
and the lights went out with the explo-
sion. The head brakeman was on the
engine at the time. The engineer asked
"Are you hurtp" The brakeman answer
ed he was all right. Then one Of them
struck match and they found the fire.
man was dead.
Sheldon's home was at Arkansas City.
The engine on which he lost his life
seems to be an III lfsted affair. The boiler
Of this same engine exploded some time
ago at La Junta, and once before at
Walton.
The same night fireman who was
running between Newton and Emporia
was killed, and another Santa Fe fireman
was killed west Of La Junta.
