A nervous irritable woman, often on
the verge OF Mysteries, Is u source OF
misery TO everyone who comes under
her influence. and unhappy and mis-
erable herself.
Such women not only drive hus-
bands from home but are wholly unfit
TO govern children.
The ills of women act like fire
brand upon the nerves. consequently
seven.tenths Of the nervous prostra-
ton, nervous dependency. th
blues. sleeplessness. and nervous
irritabilitv of women arise from some
organic arrangement.
Do you experience fits Of fdepression
with restlessness alternating with ex-
treme irrita bility =? Do you suffer
from pains in the abdominal region.
backache, bearing down pains nsnervous
dyspepsia, sleeplessness, and almost
continually cross and snappy? II SO,
your nerves are in n shattered con-
dition and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.

Germans See a
Conflict Ahead
BELIEVE JAPAN is PREPARING
TO FIGHT AMERICA FOR THE
MASTERY OF PACIFIC.

BERLIN, July 9.-The conviction OF
an ultimate conflict between Japan
and the United States appears to be
widespread in Germany. 1t is one Of
the subjects certain to be referred to
wherever diplomatists and military
and naval officials and others accus'
toned to follow international politics
meet.
The newspapers agree that Presi
dent Roosevelt is earnestly trying to
satisfy the Japanese requests. They
agree also that Japan asks nothing I'm
reasonable. They recognize that the
difficulty lies in the question of race
the economic antagonism Of the Cali
fornians against the japanese and the
constitutional imposslbility Of federal
coercion.
1t is believed by many that the
group of ruling statesmen in Japan
are preparing to fight the United
States for the mastery Of the Pacific
regardless of the San Francisco Incl
dents.

BLACK HAND
4. B :! ]. ]! !! I.
DEMAND FOR MONEY AND Al;
TEMPTED ASSASSINATION
THERE SUNDAY.

WHEELING. July s.-The Bellalre
police have nnearthed what they be-
iieye to be genuine italian Black
Hand society in a very fourlshing con
ditlon.
The matter started In an attempt at
shooting in the Italian quarter at the
No. 2 Empire mine Sunday evening.
Two Italians are locked up and the
police ara looking for another with a
warrant for shooting with intent to
kill.
The Italians who are not identified
with the society are very much
frightened and will not give their
names for fear Of being killed In
one Of the company houses Sunday, oc-
cupied by an Italian, his wife and son,
about 20 years Of age, the trouble
started. The son who told the police
the trouble, alleges that the man.
whom he does not know, came into
the house and demanded money, They
had none, and he deliberately tried to
kill the father and mother. The son
mixed in and spoiled the fellows aim,
though he managed to shoot four or
five times in the house.
The young fellow was in frenzy
Of fear and rushed up to the police
headquarters, and three officers we're
sent down. Going back on the street
car the young man who informed, was
attacked by two strange italians who
tried to choke him, almost tearing his
shirt of. The conductor lnterfered
and one man was arrested for this
part. The young man was badly scar
ed and refused to go any further, go
ing back to the Jail where he asked to
be locked up to keep him out of harm.
The officers got another fellow who
threatened to kill the father Of the
young man If he told anything, and he
was locked up.
Every effort was made to find the
man who did the shooting, and while
dozens of the Italians saw him, all
deny the least knowledge of him, say
ing they never saw him and will give
no description.
At the city building this morning a
gang of about 80 tough looking ItaI'
ians came up and wanted to get in at
the hearing to learn what was being
said. Mayor Wassman excluded all
persons from the court, except the
young man and his father. They allege
that a tlourlshing Black Hand society
of a 15O members exists in Bellalre
and that most Of the members In 1t
are the same men who we're mix
ed up in Italian riots and murders at
Scranton, Pa, some years ago. The
young man told the mayor that he
was threatened some time ago that
bodily harm would be done him If he
did not put up $50 to join the society
He refused and believes'th that this was
an attempt on his life for not Joining.
He said he would have to leave Bel
laire now, or some Of them would
stick a knife into him.
The two men arrested were not
brought up, as the mayor is going to
have the police go to the bottom Of
the matter, If such a thing is possible.
The Italian alleges that several
crimes committed in this vicinity have
been by the Black Hand people, and
that the work is always done by some
one sent from some other town, and
that the local society covers up his
tracks and sends him back home so
the police cannot get any trace,

Attorney Davis plea the remainder of the
morning session was given over to the
selection of a jury. Because of illness
in the family of one of the regular jurors.
and the termination of his service in
Criminal Court No. 1. it was necessary
to draw an additional number of tales
men. and total of forty were summoned.
BY consent of counsel the extra tales
men were held for possible necessity for
their services in trying the train crew, and
when the regular panel was exhausted
they were called in turn until the jury
box was finally filled to the satisfaction
of both sides.
Little interest was manifested in the
trial. and after the talesmen had been
excused and witnesses excluded there was
scant corporaIs guard present to hear
the beginning of the actual trial.
In examining prospectice jurors Assist
ant United States Attorney Turner de-
voted much attention to discovering
whether they were members of any
trades union; whether they had ever
been employed on railroad, or whether
they We're acquainted with any of the
defendants, or with any of the victims
of the wreck.
Attorney Davis, interrogating the tales
men for the defense, was most concerned
to know whether they had read the news
paper stories of the wreck or of the cor
oner's inquest following.
The jury was completed at 1858 o'clock
this afternoon. and recess of forty-five
minutes was taken for luncheon. Upon
reassembling in the courtroom at 1:4O
o'clock Assistant United States Attorney
Turner made the opening address to the

charge that they were criminally negligent

About the Lobster Supply.
From the Boston Transcript.


That there is no unusual shortage in the
supply of Holsters just now is evident
from inquiries among the dealers who
have been in business many years.
Printed reports have been circulated
which would lead the reader to imagine
that almost none were to be had, or at
least that there is coming a season when
they will be extremely difficult to get
even at very high prices.
The fact of the matter is the supply in
the Boston markets has been quite as
good this summer as at any time during
the last five years. The last of August or
early September, it appears, is apt to
see some shrinkage in the numbers
brought, chiefly because the Holsters are
shedding their Shells During that period
they hide away among the deep grasses
of the coast until the new coat is well
hardened. Should they roam about in
their native element they would fall easy
prey to other fish lurking round for dainty
tidbits such as their new formed covering
In consequence of this time of exclusion
the catch" is lessened. but In the mean
time the pounds along the Maine coast
are well filled and toward the end of the
first week in September they will be
drawn upon, After two weeks or SO it is
likely to happen that the Holsters will be
less plentiful and somewhat higher than
now.
