NEAR A LYNCHlNG IN OHIO.
Marietta Crowd Menaces Men Arrest
ed for Dragging Little Girls.

Marietta, O., March "A lynching
seemed imminent here early Sunday
evening when a large crowd of peo-
pie surrounded the city Jail, where
Walter w. Savage, of Syracuse, N. Y,
and his accomplice, Andy Coruthers,
were imprisoned.
Savage is an advertising sketch
artist and has been here about week
occupying a window in the Dime Say
ings society building. He has made
a speciality of getting young girls to
allow him to make their pictures.
About one o'clock Sunday after
noon he had six young girls between
the ages of II and II years of age in
his room, gave them whisky, wine and
beer and administered some kind of
drug At six o'clock Sunday evening
the police discovered that something
was wrong and, upon Investigating,
found all six of the girls unconscious,
lying on the floor. The girls and the
two men, Coruthers having been
found in the room, were taken to the
city jail. Physicians were summoned
and made an examination of the girls
and administered emetics, and about
seven o'clock they had partly re-
gained consciousness. The girls claim
that the men forced them to drink.
Under guard Of the entire police
force the men were rushed to the
county Jail, which is on the fifth floor
of the courthouse building. .-@
+" The sheriff and his deputies, assist
ed by the police, are guarding the two
prisoners, and it seems that lynch
ing will be averted, although the feel
ing of the populace is very intense.

Earthquake Affect. oil Wells.

According to Galveston dispatch
the Gulf coast oil fields have decreased
their production forty-fve per cent.
and the cause is attributed to seismic
disturbances associated with Jamaica
earthquakes. The Texas Louisiana
delds have been on steady decline
for the past ten months, as shown by
the decrease of 100000 barrels for
the year just ended, compared with
1905. The sudden decrease was no.
ticed the second day after the Jamaica
quake, and seventeen wells in tho
Texas-Louisiana field went dry en-
tirely, while every well declined per-
cepubly. After the Valparaiso earth
quake the Texas-Louisiana field de-
clined and many wells ceased to now,
while an immense oil lake appeared
out Of the gulf. The older north Texas
oil fields have increased 100 per cent.
In the same period since the Jamaica
shocks and the product is fifty per
cent. lighter in color.

Several years ago when the Univer.

celebration, John L. Rockefeller was
its guest for several days. A bewild-
ering succession of functions followed

hours late.
At the great banquet on the closing
day, Mr.. Rockefeller, In his after
dinner speech, told the following
story:

nearby telegraph station. and the

MRS. EVA CAREER EDWARDS

There are three critical stages in q
woman's life which leave their mark
in her career. The first OF these stages
is womanhood, or the change from n
care free girl to budding womanhood,
The second Is motherhood, and the
third is Change of Life.
Pcrils surround each of these stages,
and most of the misery that comes
to women through i'll health dates
from one or another of these i'm
portant crises.
Women should remember that Lydia

made from native roots and herbs has
carried thousands of young girls over
the critical period of puberty, has
prepared mothers for childbirth. and
