Hearts

one hundred people who have heart troubis

heart disease, not organic, are not only
traceable to, but are the direct result Of Incl
aestion. All food taken into the stomach
which fails Of perfect digestion ferments ard
swellsthe stomach, putting it up against tie

Black Hundreds at Odessa Preparing
to Massacre Jews.
Odessa, Russia, Feb. 15.-Another
anti-Jewish massacre is imminent,
similar TO the preceding outbreaks
when Jewish victims were slain by
thousands and subjected to most
cruel tortures. The mob element
and the BLACK Hundreds angered
by defeat in the recent election are
preparing to wreak vengeance on the
Jews Panic has seized the authori-
ties, who fear an outbreak at any
moment. Efforts are being made to
keep the Jews off the streets. These
precautions have served to alarm
rather than quiet the fears Of the
Hebrews.

It is astonishing how great change
a few years of married life often make
in the appearance and disposition OF
many women. The freshness, the
charm, the brilliance vanish like the
bloom from flower which is rudely
handled. The matron is only dim
shadow, faint echo of the charming
maiden. Few young women appreciate
the shock Of the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
mage and motherhood, not understand
ing that this secret drain is robbing the
cheek of its freshness and the form Of
ite fairness.
As surely as the general health suffers
when there is arrangement of the health
Of the delicate womanly organs, 50 surely
when these organs are established in
health the face and form at once witness
to the fact in renewed comeliness.
More than million women have found
health ard happiness in the use of DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Itmakes
weak women strong and sick women
well. Ingredients on label-contains
no alcohol or harmful habit-forming
drugs. It is made wholly of those
native, American, medicinal roots most
highly recommended by leading med
ical authorities Of all the several schools
of practice for the cure OF woman's
peculiar ailments.
For nursing mothers, Or for those
broken-down in health by too frequent
bearing of children, also for the expect
ant mothers, to prepare the system for
the coming OF baby and make its ad-
vent easy and almost painless, there is
no medicine quite so good as vFavorite
Prescription" 1t can do no harm a7s
any condition of the system. 1t is a
most potent invigorating tonic and
strengthening nervine, nicely adapted
to woman's delicate system by ply
sician of large experience in the treat
ment of woman's peculiar ailments.
Bad Symptoms. The woman who
has periodical headaches, backache, sees
imaginary dark spots or specks floating
or dancing before her eyes, has gnawing
distress or heavy full feeling in stomach,
faint spells, dragging-down feeling in
lower abdominal or pelvic region, easily
startled or excited, irregular or painful
periods, with or without pelvic catarrh,
Is suffering from weaknesses and de-
rangements that should have early at
tention. Not all of above symptoms are
likely to be present in any case at one
time.
Neglected or badly treated and such
cases often run into maladies which de-
mand the surgeons knife if they do not
result fatally.

While a we'll was being bored, near
Maria. Texas, an underground river
was struck at a depth Of 200 feet.
With the artesian flow which poured
forth from the mouth of the we'll
came several articles of wearing ap-
parel. This fact led to the conclusion
that the river had its source in Arizo-
ma. and that the articles mentioned
were lost in the flood at Clifton, Ariz.,

Leavenworth, Kan, Feb. 12.-For-
mer Lieut.. Sidney S. Burbank, U. S.
A., was released from the federal
penitentiary here today after serving
nearly Is months. Burbank today as
serted he had been the victim Of a
conspiracy and was convicted because
he lacked influence.
esThere are dozens Of army officers
who are living with these Filipino
women" declared he, "but they are
fortunate enough to escape the
clutches OF the b1ackmailers. I fell
into the grasp"
He declared that in short time he
would tell everything he knows about
his case, and that when he does it
will cause one Of the greatest sensa-
tons in army. affairs in recent years.
Bubank's engagement in 1903 to a
Leavenworth precipitated a suit by
his Filipino wife, Mrs. Conception
vazquez of valladolid, Occidental Ne
gros, who formally filed her claims
with the war department to prevent
the marriage. Two years ago Bur
bank returned to the Philippines
with his regiment. Shortly after his
arrival the Filipino woman fled an
action against him in the civil courts
for abandonment and non-support.
She finally was granted a separation,
but not a divorce, and Burbank was
ordered to pay her $50 a month ali
mony. Later Burbank was tried by
courtmartial and convicted Of embez-
zeling company funds and of other
conduct unbeccming an officer and a
gentleman.

aTEAIBERS OF THE HOUSE KILL
TIME OVER FREAK RESoLU-
TTON.

Representative Morrell, OF Richland,
is Conscientious and Economical
and is Opposed to Paying Legisia-
tors for Sunday-Other Members
Do Not See it That Way.
Columbia, Feb. 14.-The house had
some fun today debating a freak res
,olution from Representative Howell
Morrell of Harren Hill that members
of the general assembly be docked for
Sundays. Amendments were offered
that the resolution apply only to Mr..
AIorrell, that as a substitute, 6. COM
promise, the pay be reduced to tS3.9S,
which would save 80 cents to the
member. Mr.. Merrell took the mat
ter seriously, however. He contended
that it was a desecration Of the Sab
bath and poor economy, likewise. He
said he got out on 50 day expense,
although he Stopped with a respecta-
bic family and kept a horse beside.
He demanded the ayes and nays. The
vote was 90 to against the resolu-
ton.
Representative McMaster, of Mr..
Morrelps county (Richland), at the
Iatter's request offered a resolution
that Mr.. Morrell be allowed to re-
fuse his Sunday pay, but the house
tabled this by vote Of 45 to 4a.
On Mr.. Carey's motion the house
now concurred in all the senate
amendments to the Carey-Cothran
bill, so as to let it so on to confer
ence. The differences will be fought
out in free conference.
An attempt was made in the house
today to kill Representative Boyd's
till to exempt the rural districts from
the operation of the compulsory vac
cination law. Mr.. Boyd impressed the
house by reciting an incident in Lau-.
rens County, where he said an un-
Erincipled doctor went to a woman
with a fve-year-old child and vacci-
nated both in the face Of her fearful
protests. e.And that child is under
the sod today exclaimed Mr.. Boyd.
<1f you want to bring on violence in
I4aurens, refuse to pass this bill and
the responsibility will be on YOU
The doctors made two hostile mo-
tions against the bill, protesting that
the only means to protect the towns
from negroes in the suburbs was the
compulsory vaccination law but they
were voted down 4s to 80 and 81
- 2s.
The house passed the bill for
State House commission to enclose
the State House grounds with gran
lite retaining wall and to beautify the
grounds. The Bill carries an aopco-
priaSion Of $4,000.

out Rathbone through a third party
and consolidated the two papers. Rath-
bone it is alleged, had agreed not to
start another paper there for year,

CON TRACT FOR
MINING DREDGE
Pan-American Gold Dredging Company
Orders Machinery to Cost $780,
600 from New York Engin-
eering Company

The Pan-American Gold Dredging
company, which recently acquired the
famous Rindge gold mines in Colombia,
let contracts late yesterday afternoon
for $100, 900 worth of dredging machin-
cry to be installed on their properties.
The company controls a large num-
Der of mines in the province of Antio-
quia, including twelve miles of the
channel of the famous River Porce, ac-
knowledged by engineers who have ex-
amined it's mines to be the richest
river in the world.
The contracts for the machinery let
by the company yesterday were Sc
cured by the New York Engineering
company of New York. For the past
two weeks the leading manufacturers
of mining machinery in the United
States have had special representatives
here to secure this business for their
respective firms. James c. Ewing of
the New York Engineering company
finally closed for his New York house
He leaves today to push work on this
order, as it calls for a first-class dredge
of the most modern type to be deliV-
cred from the factory in three months
This is very short time for such con-
struction and will require special work
manship The ordinary time for de-
livery from factory of an up-to-datt
from placing of order.
This is the first of ten or a dozer
dredges t. follow, as the company
holdings are very extensive, including
10000 acres of mineral bearing land.
The value of the gravel is from So tC
SO per cubic yard and in comparison
with the dredging ground in this state
which averages only 20 cents per yard
the returns will be enormous. 1t is
expected each dredge in operation OF
these properties will net 81, 600 every
year. This is conservative, as the low
est value of 81 per yard will exceed
this amount. Very little is being saiC
by the fortunate stockholders, for il
is in no sense a promotion scheme.
Col. ]. B. Lankershim is president o.
the company, William r. Rowland ant
Dana Burke are first and second vice
presidents. Ellis Mallery organized

WORRIED BY A GHOST

ELKHART, Ind. Jan, 26,--Declaring
that in spirit apparition his father-in-
law, now two years deceased, haunts
his every step, John Otterson has
abandoned a valuable suburban place
bequeathed to him by his deceased
relative, David Garman, pioneer of
Elkhart county. The house and pala-
tial grounds where the aged Mr.. Gar
man resided for over half a century
and in which the son-in-law succeeded
him, were recently sold, and Otterson
has arranged to move elsewhere.
Otterson asserts that for two years
his every step, particularly about the
old homestead, has been haunted. The
apparition, which he says he clearly
recognizes as his father-in-law, walks
with him about the place, is beside him
when he dimes and confronts him when
he awakes at night. Women and
children in that part of the city who
have heard of the "spook" refuse to
venture out alone at night.
The aged Mr.. Garman died two years
ago following a surgical operation. He
left an estate valued at many thou
sands.

FALSE TEETH TURN Al
BULLET FROM HIS BRAIN

SOUTH NORWALK. Conn.,, Jan. 20.
His set of false teeth saved julius
Setkonsky's life last night, when he
was shot on the railroad station plat
form by a young man said to be in
love with his wife. The direction of
the bullet, as 1t struck Setkonsky' s
Cheek was upward, toward the brain.
1t struck the upper front teenth and
was turned aside so that 1t tore six
teeth from the lower plate and tore
the plate to flinders. The bullet came
out of the back of the head, causing a
disfiguring wound in the cheek.
The man who did the shooting is
Edmond Kalonski, a baker, 20 years
old, of 631 East Twelfth street, New
York. He fled after the shooting. A
man was arrested, but the victim has
not been in condition to say whether
or not he Is his assailant. The wound
ed man is baker of Norwalk.
