GOOD LOCAL

There is widespread interest
and concern all over. the United
States IN the frequent mining

ing the past few years, particu-
larly in the deep mines of Penn

other states from explosions of

some instances has been appal.
ling, and these fearful disasters
have been the subject of expert
investigation by mining engi-
neers and scientists as we'll as
the lords of state and local offic-
ials. Kentucky has been fortu-
nate as compared with the cal.
amitous records of some other
states. But the mines at Earl
ington aud in some other parts
CT Hopkins county have been
particularly fortunate and hold
records that make all who are
connected with these operations
both thankful and humbly proud.
The statistics compiled by the
United States Geological Survey
show that for the years 1901.6,
inclusive, there we're in the Uni
ted States six deaths to each
1000, 900 tons of coal produced.
The record for the State of Ken
lucky for this period is some
thing like one death for each
100000 tons of coal produced,
which is a much better record
than that of the en- ire country.
But it remains for Darlington
and a part of Hopkins county to
produce the best record. Dur
ing the same period, 1901. 06, in
elusive, the St. Bernard group of
mines, which are the only local
mines for which the Bee has
these statistics, the records show
that these mines have the re-
markable history of not quite
one death for each 100000 tons
of coal mined.
Governor Wilson not long
since called especial attention to
disasters in other states.
The Western Kentucky coal OPP
orators have been giving the
subject especial attention and

every imaginable luxury was provided.
After a little interchange OF pleas.
aatries in the spacious hall our black.
haired friend raised her voice in a
stentorian shout, in answer to which
a brisk, elderly lady came down the
mahogany stairs and welcomed us
cordially. She was introduced as our
aunt and chaperon, Mrs. Armistead,"
amid peals of laughter from the girls,
although we couldn't see any joke. We
then went to our rooms, which con-
tanned everything we could possibly
have desired, and when we came down
to dinner the footman told us that
Mrs. Armistead and the young ladies
were awaiting us in the drawing room
We crossed the hall. and when the
heavy curtains that separated II from
the huge drawing room were lifted to
admit us. We saw at least 20 girls
ranging in age from is to 20, standing
or sitting around the room in attitudes
os expectancy. l found out later that
there were really only six of them, but,
at the time, there looked to be 90.
They were all pretty, all wore evening
dress, and all were talking at once;
but as Vincent and entered they
stopped and Mrs. Armistead came for
ward and presented us to the three
girls We had not yet seen.
The first of the new three, Agatha
Fourth, as Vincent and / called her
later, was tall and very fair, with won.
derful blue eyes and beautiful figure.
That our bewilderment and astonish-

sented to us as the Honorable Agatha
Wyckhoff may be easily understood.
The next one had light-brown hair
with gold lights in it and her eyes
were golden hazel. AS she, too was
introduced as the Honorable Wyckhoff

word or repeat the name. Then, turn.

INDIA E. PINKHAM

bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field ID
cure disease and mitigate suffering
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years IN
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia 4. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world q remedy for their pc
culiar ills, more potent and eftica-
cious than any combination of drugs.
Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. St.,
louisiana, Mo-, writes:
Complete restoration to health
means SO much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years had been suffer-
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what suffered, and at times L
could hardly walk. About two years
ago wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
I followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. 1t is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
twill do for other suffering women.
