WOMAN KNEW HUMAN NATURE.
Personal Experience Counted in Her Endorsement of New Pastor.

A Philadelphia congregation was called upon not long ago to choose a pastor. The last three ministers had been persona non grata with most of the parishieners; and before selecting another the congregation did some pretty hard thinking There was one woman of experience whose voice car ried particular weight. Preacher after preacher was invited to the pulpit for a trial sermon, and all, in the final analysis, were rejected by the female arbiter. At last there came along possible incumbent who met with her approval.
 "The reason I am sure he will give satisfaction" she said. lis because he has the right kind Of a wife for a minister She allows him 10 rant around all he wants at home and doesn't sass back. l found out a long while ago-shortly after l was mar ried myself, in faet-that a man who hasn't that privilege at home works off his spleen elsewhere A minister vents it on his congregation. That was why we couldn't stand the last preacher. ThS one will be all right. We won't hear peep out of him.
 And upon that unique recommends tion the congregation. really did give the man a cali. According to last ac- counts both he and the congregation were doing well The wife has not been heard from.

JURY ATTACKED
Caleb Powers Trial Progressing Very Slowly-Jury Suspected of Pre-
 judice.

Georgetown, Ky. NoY.-The third week of Caleb Powers trial opened Monday with a large attendance. States Attorney Franklin filed several strong affidayits attacking the eligibil- ity of Jurors N. s. Wayland, George P Martin John II. Ferguson and ], N. Elliott. Republicans. All the affida- wits were sensational. An affidavit by j. w Conyers asserted that Way land. on the day that Goebel was kill ed. cursed Goebel and offered to bet a drink of water that Goebel would be shot before night Nayland told Conyers that he believed Col. Jack Chinn. who was with Geebel shot him. Other affidayits quoted Wayland and Ferguson as having said that if selected on Powers jury they would clear him regardless of law and eyi- dence.
 A fierce legal battle was waged all the forenoon in an effort to remove the jurors. James Howard. d life term prisoner in the state prison. was brought here in compliance with an order of the court to confer with Pow CTS and his attorneys. Judge Morris was appraised that the wife of J. P. Hobson. the first permanent juror accepted is dying and that R. L. Bos- well, another permanent juror, has been under the care of physician since qualifying
 Just before the noon adjournment States Attorney Franklin gave an in timation that the commonwealth would file a motion challenging the entire panel in the box on the ground that the jurors were required, upon quail flying. to state their political utilization. The state contends that this was un- precedented. unwarranted and illegal. If this step is resorted to the work of the past will be undone.
 The sensation of the day was an affidavit from Arthur Goebel, brother of the murdered senator, offered by the commonwealth in it's attack on the eligibility of the Grant county jurors from the commonwealth sought to have removed from the jury box. Goebels affidavit was to the effect that W. E. Wilson of Williamstown, a Republican attorney, went with the sheriff into Grant county to summon the venire and rode in a buggy with H. W. Green. the brother-in-aw of Powers, advising and aiding him in the selecton of q venire and that the two qualified jur- ors were summoned by placing them selves in the way of the sheriff on their advice.

One of the greatest triumphs of Lydia F. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound is the conquering of woman's dread enemy Tumor

 The following letters should con vince every suffering woman of it's virtue, and that it actually does conquer tumors.

They told me I had a fibroid tumor. my abdomen was swollen and | suffered with great pain. l wrote to you for advice, you replied and l followed your directions carefully and today l am a well woman.

CITIZENS MAKE TOWN
PRESENT OF SEWERAGE
SYSTEM, COMPLETED

Lake Preston, S. D., June 24.-By
bui!clns u system for taking care of the
sewage of this town, and then pre-
senting it to the municipality, new
anG distinctly novel form OF pfilan-
throphy has appeared. The idea is
taat the health of the community is
more important than it's education in
Carnegie libraries and endowed col
leges.
The town was unable to undertake
the project itself because the bonds for
municipal lighting plant and water
works have brought the town to its
limit of Indebtedness. A number of
public spirited citizens realized that
soIaething must be done. Private drains
would be expensive and unsatisfactory.
50 q number of them formed a stock
company. had the sewer laid in eight
OF tie principal streets, having an out
iet in the nearby lake. When the work
was done, the town was made a pres
ent Of the system.
This Will, of course, obligate the city
to pay for improvements and extern
SLOTS. but the generosity of the citizens
has given the municipality a system of
sew erage which it otherwise would
have to get along without for several
years yet.
