CRCUITCOURT

sworn duty was and said that he be.
lieved that they would faithfully re-
gard their oaths. He called attention
to the fact that former jurors had
not kept their oaths to make their
proceedings secret-that some people
on the outside knew exactly what
the juries were doing each day and
there was but one way for them to
know it, and that was for some Juror
to disregard his oath. He spoke of
the crime commonly denominated
white Gaping and said the Jury
should carefully investigate to see if
any such thing existed in Forrest
county. He spoke of evils growing
out of the unlawful sale of liquor and
called attention to numerous other
crimes and in all delivered one of
the best and most comprehensive
charges that has ever been heard from
him, and this is saying a great deal.
for while Judge Cook does not attempt
the sensational, yet he always covers
the ground in most satisfactory
way and in plain and easily under
stood terms.

LYDIA E. PINKHAM

No other medicine has been so
successful in relieving the suffering
of women or received so many gen.
uine testimonials as has Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
In every community you will find
women who have been restored to
health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound. Almost every
one you meet has either been bene-
flied by it, or has friends who have.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at
Lynn, Mass, any wOmananydaym may
see the files containing over one mil
lion one hundred thousand letters
from women seeking health, and
here are the letters in which they
openly state over their own sigma
lures that they were cured by Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has saved many women
from surgical operations.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is made from roots and
herbs, without drugs, and is whole
some and harmless.
The reason why Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is so
successful is because it contains in
gradients which act directly upon
the feminine organism, restoring it
to healthy normal condition.
Women who are suffering from
those distressing ills peculiar to their
sex should not lose sight of these
facts or doubt the ability of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
to restore their health.

II REPORTED LOST
SPANISH STEAMER GOES ON
ROCK IN FOG.
SHIP CARRIED 81 PASSENGERS
Up to the Time Of Filing Of These
Dispatches Only Forty Seven
Had Landed.

Paris--A special dispatch received
here Thursday from Corunna, Spain,
says the Spanish steamer La Rache
went on the rocks in fog near Mu-
ros, where the cruiser Cardinal Cis-
neros was wrecked in 1906.
The La Rache sank rapidly and q
panic followed.
There were 81 passengers and 81
members Of the crew aboard. These
took to the boats, but up to the filing
of the dispatch only AZ had landed.
Defective communication makes it
impossible to obtain complete de-
tails, but the latest reports state that
IL women were drowned. 1t is known
that AZ survivors were landed at Mu-
ros, but that two of them have since
died. Fifteen others were landed at
Lon. According to the official lists,
the La Rache carried 9S in her crew,
including stewards, walters, etc., and
81 passengers.

SHERMAN coNvALEscENT.
Out of Danger Unless New compIica
tions Set In.

Cleveland, Ohio-At 8 a. m. Thurs
day physicians attending Congress
man j. S. Sherman reported he had
spent comfortable night. He had
slept five hours continuously and was
much refreshed. His temperature
was 100, a decrease of 1.6; his pulse,
80, and respiration "a. He had suf-
fered comparatively little pain and
his condition generally showed
marked improvement.
1t was agreed that he would not be
able to leave Lakeside hospital for at
least week. By that time, it is
thought, he will have recovered suf-
ficiently to withstand the fatigue Of
a journey to his home at Utica. The
attending physicians are satisfied
that there is no present possibility
for an operation. DR.. w. T. Bull, New
York; DR.. William Mayo, Rochester,
Mimi, and other specialists who had
been notified to hold themselves in
readiness for call to Cleveland, have
been notified they will probably not
be needed.
Unless there is an unexpected turn
for the worse, the patient is entirely
out of danger. Mrs Sherman has re-
covered from the fatigue of the trip
from Utica and is much better.

Hits Uncharted Rock.

The La Rache came from Cadiz,
where she had landed part of her
passengers. She was on her way to
Muros when, on account of the fog,
she headed for Corunna. Suddenly
she ran upon a rock, but her captain,
who knew the coast well, got his YES
sci off. Almost Immediately she
ran upon another rock, which was
uncharted.
The steamer, according to a sur
vivor of the crew, sank within few
minutes. The heavy sea, which was
running at the time, destroyed two
Of the lifeboats. Boats from the
neighboring fishing villages went to
the rescue, but were able to do but
little for time, owing to the weather
conditions. They succeeded eventual.
ly in picking up large number OF
men and women who were floating on
pieces of wreckage.
