The M0desty of Women

Naturally makes them shrink from the
Indelicate questions, the obnoxious ex-
Rfninations, and unpleasant local treat
ments, which some physicians consider
essential in the treatment Of diseases OF
women. Yet, if help can be had, it is
Better to submit to this ordeal than let
tHbAdisease grow and spread. The trouble
is that so often the woman undergoes all
the annoyance and shame for nothing.
Thousands of women who have been
cured by DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton write in appreciation of the cure
which dispenSes with the examinations
and local treatments. There is no other
medicine SO sure and safe for delicate
women as vFavorite Prescription" 1t
cures facilitating drains, irregularity and
female weakness. 1t always helps. 1t
almost always cures. It is strictly nom
alcoholic, non secret, all its ingredients
being printed on its bottle-wrapper con-
tains no deleteriOus or habit-fOrming
drugs, and every native medicinal root
entering into it's composition has the full
endorsement of those most eminent in the
several schools of medical practice. Some
of these numerous and strongest of pro-
fessional endorsements of it's ingredients,
will be found in a pamphlet wrapped
around the bottle, also in booklet mailed
free on request, by DR.. r. Y. Pierce, of
Buffalo, N. Y. These professional en-
dorsements should have far more weight
than any amount of the ordinary lay, or
non-professional testimonials.
The most intelligent women nowadays
insist on knowing what they take as med
icine instead of opening their mouths like
a1ot of young birds and gulping down
whatever is offered them. "Favorite Pre-
scription" is of KNOWN COMPOSITION. 1t
makes weak women strong and sick
women well.

THE LATEST MAN ALIVE.
Telephoned For Police to Arrest Him
and Then Fell Asleep.

and Then Fell Asleep.
Weary of his struggle for existence
and too lazy to walk to police sta
ton, John Callahan, twenty seven
years of age, walked into a drug store
at Bayonne, n j., and telephoned the
police to send a patrol wagon, saying
that he wanted to be arrested
When he had finished telephoning in
the drug store the effort of talking
over the wire seemed to have exhaust
ed all his remaining energy, and he
went to sleep in the booth.
where's the man who wanted to be
arrested?" demanded the policeman in
charge of the wagon as he walked into
the store. The proprietor was surprised
by the query, but when the policeman
insisted that there was a man there
who wanted to be arrested a search
was made.
Finally Callahan was seen in the
booth and awakened by the policeman
Callahan admitted he was the man
who telephoned and was carried into
the patrol wagon. When arraigned in
court Recorder Lazarus satisfied his
desire by sending him to the work
house for ninety days, and Callahan
leaned back in his chair, closing his
eyes blissfully.

John Carec while testifying at a

buried alive for twelve hours, being
thought dead.

precipice, from the edge of which he
is projected into space
Stronge had made a record jump
and then turned to see his opponent
strap skees to huge kangaroo which
he had bought from a friend in the
circus business and start it down the
hill. When the animal reached the
precipice it jumped as only a kanga-
roo can jump. Stronge's record was
beaten so badly that no one measured
the distance.

Sandy Hook. = Special Judge Red
wine Monday refused to preside II
the trials of Judge Hargis and his
alleged co-conspirators for the muir
der of DR.. Cox, and Gov. Beckhan
therefore must appoint another specia
Judge. Judge Redwine said on the
bench that the cases had been trans
ferred here without his knowledge OF
consent, and because of certain state
ments of the press he felt that II
would be impossible for him to pre-.
side. Redwine's action necessitates
the continuance of the trials until DC
tober, but if the new special Judge re
quests he can call a special term dur
ing the summer. Judge Redwine or
dered the clerk to certify the fact
Of his vacating the bench 10 Gov
Beckham at the earliest possible mo.
ment, so that special judge can
be named.
The killing of DR.. Cox occurred on
Sunday night, April ID, 1902, and was
the first of the series Of murders In
Breathitt county that resulted in the
Hargises and their alleged herchmen
being accused and arrested. The Har
gises and Callahan are charged with
melting Britton, Smith, Abner and AS

with just sufficient of the French Re-
naissance to permit OF sufficient or
namentation to keep 1t from being too
severely plain. It is built upon the
capital plan. being about twice Its
width In length with eud and center
pavilions, and with triumphal arch
entrance. The dome, which adds to
the beauty and massiveness of the
building. is 26 feet at the base and

When seen small fame was blazing
up the wall, but before the fire depart

had broken through the roof and was
making rapid Roadway. The alarm
was turned in at 10 o'clock and the
entire department responded. ~.
For over two hours streams Of

poured into the building from every
point of vantage, but whenever the
firemen thought they had gained con-
troll and withdrew their lines to gain
better positions the fire blazed forth
with renewed and persistent fury.

son in many years, is reported by the

bureau issued the following special
forecast:
Frost warnings have been issued
for the middle Atlantic states and the
eastern lower lake region, western
Colorado, east Wyoming, Utah and
northern Arizona, and warnings OF
'reezing temperature for western Wyo-
ming"
Weather bureau officials say that
there is no immediate prospect OF any
summer weather anywhere. The pres
ent cold wave, they add, has been rum
ming through most of the present
month. Heavy frosts are reported to
the bureau from Michigan and other
states of the lake region. The cold
wave is particularly severe in the
southwest, and due, according to the
weather experts, to the heavy rains in
that part of the country. Forecaster
Harry c. Frankenfeld Of the weather
bureau said: ~
THE reason for the cold weather we
have had during the past two or three
months is that the high areas Of pres
sure have moved eastward. from the
northern portion Of the country almost
continuously and these have caused
cold north Winds That is the only
reason can give for the cold weather
areas. AS to what makes these high
areas keep up all this season IL more
than can tell:
Not since 1882 has the abnormal
weather been approached in this part Of
the country. 1t is five degrees below
the normal temperature for this
month. A temperature of A degrees
