CONTEST Two-cENT FARES
Railroad Presidents Meeting at Chi
cago Decide to Resist New Laws
in At Least Five States.

Chicago. Western railroad presi-
dents at conference here Tuesday
decided to contest the two-cent pas
.senger laws in at least five states
Illinois, Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa and
Arkasas. Following this decision the
passenger representatives of all
western road agreed not to grant any
reduced rate for any occasion until
the two-cent fight shall have been
concluded. The passenger men were
presented with letter written by
Secretary Moseley of the Interstate
commerce commission to the Central
Passenger Association stating that
the proposed plan for putting National
Educational Association rates into ef-
feet is Illegal and connot be tolerated.
Officers of the association will en-
deavor to have the ruling changed, as
they declare that the life of the or
ganization depends upon it.
In pursuance of the decision of the
railroads to fight the two-cent laws
and not to grant reduced rates, the
Chicago Commercial Association and
the st. Louis Merchants Association
and similar organizations will be told
that rates for merchants meetings
are no longer available. This decis-
ion will also cut off clergymen, char
ity workers, state conventions, sisters
of charity and all who have enjoyed
cheap rate privileges for years will
be placed upon a strict two-cent basis.

Executive Offices At Oyster Bay
Opened With Additional Equip

Oyster Bay, N. Y. President
Roosevelt and his family are at home
at Sycamore Hill. The trip from
Washington, which was begun
Wednesday morning in drizzling rain,
ended in sunshine at 5 O'Clock We'd
nesday afternoon. A Jersey City and
Long island City crowds surrounded
his car shouting greetings and when
the train drew in here the station
platform was thronged with neighbors
who extended Oyster Bays usual
demonstrative welcome.
Before dark Wednesday night the
executive offices were completely
equipped with all necessary parapher-
MALTA including Geographic and tele-
phonic connections, and the summer
capitol may be said to be fully es-
tablished. The facilities OF the exec
utive offices and the secret service
agency have been added to this year
in the shape of two steam touring
cars of the largest type. One car is
at the disposal of Secretary Loeb and
the other for the use of the secret
service men. Twelve minutes has

AT THE HAGUE.
Delegates from Various Countries
Are Arriving-America to Play
Leading Role This Time.

The Hague = The delegates of
various countries to the second
Hague peace conference which will
be formally opened June 10 accompa-
MED by host of secretaries. techni-
cal experts and attaches. together
with a small army of newspaper cor
respondents are arriving here by ev-
cry train and the lazy old dutch CAPT
tai is beginning to buzz with an
animation such as has not been wit
messed since the conference of 1890.
Already feeling is prevalent among
the arriving diplomats that the United
States is destined to play great role
in the coming conference Under her
auspices the countries of South and
Central America will be introduced to
Europe on footing of equality. The
European delegates entertain no doubt
that all the representatives of Amer
lea will present practically united
front at this conference and hence
forth they will be an immense factor
in such world conventions. Some
surprises arc expected from the other
side of the Atlantic.
The delegates are assembling in
spirit hopeful of furthering the unfIn-
ished work of 1899, but upon the main
question the limitation of ornaments,
much skepticism is displayed.

MRS. SADIE ABBOTT

Women for the most part spend
their lives at home, and it is these
women who are willing and ambitious
that their homes shall be kept neat
and pretty, their children well dressed
and tidy, who do their own cooking,
sweeping, busting and often washing,
ironing and sewing for the entire
family, who call for our sympathy.
Truly the work of such woman
is never done" and is it any wonder
that she breaks down at the end of a
few years, the back begins to ache,
there is a displacement, Inflammation
or liberation of the abdominal organs,
a female weakness is brought on, and
the struggle of that wife and mother
to continue her duties is pitiful.
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, made from native roots
and herbs, is the exact medicine a
woman needs whose strength is over
taxed. 1t keeps the feminine organs
in strong and healthy condition.
In preparing for childbirth and re-
operating therefrom it is most eff
cient. 1t carries woman safely
through the change of life and in,
making her strong and well assists
her to be good wife and mother.
Mrs. Sadie Abbott, of Jeanette,
Pa, writes
Deal. Mrs. Pinkham-
81 suffered severely with pain every
month andRlso pain in my left side. My
doctor prescribed for me but did me no
good; friend advised Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and ] wrote you in
regard to my condition. I followed your
advice and am perfectly well woman. The
pains have all disappeared and l cannot
recommend your medicine too highly"

THE LAUNCH LOCATED.
The Little Craft in Which Eleven Men
Wenc Down in Hampton Roads
Found on Bottom.

Newport News, Va. - With can
opy frame crushed, but canvass
still tightly fastened down, the missing
launch of tn battleship Minnesota
was located in 81 feet of water about
1000 yards west. by south of Fort
Wool Friday afternoon about o'clock.
Across the little craft was a tell-tale
piece of towing line serving to con-
vince the naval officers that they
are right in their theory that the
launch was run down by a float Of
some kind in tow of tug. The diver
who went down to examine the launch
reported that the heads and arms of
three men were protruding from be-
meath the canvass covering; the men
having made desperate fight for life
when they were carried down like rats
in a trap.
1t will be O'Clock Saturday morn
ing before the launch can be raised
and no one knows how many bodies
will be found.

OILY one which is safe to use on fine
