WEST POINT, VA, May 21.--Mrs.
P. B. Hughes, reached West Point on
the O'Clock train from Richmond
yesterday. Mrs. Hughes met her in a
carriage and entertained her in her
home. at O'Clock last night a full
house greeted Mrs. Nation at the Ma
sonic Hall, and for two hours she held
her audience spell-bound. except for
occasional outbursts OF applause and
laughter. While she said some good
things and made thrusts to the right
and left, and made the surroundings
pretty warm for some, SO much 80
that they had to leave. yet the general
sentiment Is that the tone OF tho
speech was not as chaste nor the stand
ard as high as was expected from a
woman. Mrs. Nation cleared expenses
and pocketed neat sum, besides the
amount she made selling souvenirs
(hatchets) and books.
This morning at $3.50 she wendell her
way to Seventh and Streets. where
she spoke on goods box. She mount
ed the box on D street. the main bust
ness street, but had no sooner mounted
when Sergeant McCanna ordered her
to get down. She argued the point,
and called for the law that forbade
her speaking <on the main thorough
fare. In few moments. however.
she yielded. and her boxes we're moved
Just put of D Street into Seventh Street,
and she opened fire. The crowd gath
cred. and after speaking at length,
she finished and walked down Seventh
Street, crowd following her.
She walked into the bar-room of Mr..
John Roach. and as she did so Ser

her to the courtroom. A great crowd
filled the court-room, and the Mayor
fined Mrs. Nation SIS for breaking an
ordinance recently passed in West
Point prohibiting any woman or minor
from entering saloon with the
consent of the saloon keeper. or WHO
aided or Allotted the sale of liquor.
Mr.. A. Julian Bagby. attorney at law,
volunteered to defend Mrs. Nation by
proving she had broken no law, MS
she entered without the consent Of the
saloon keeper, he not being in the sa-
loon, and she in nowise abetted the
sale of liquor. The Mayor, by advice
of the town attorney, fined her SIS and
and from which no appeal could be
taken. Mrs. Nation insisted upon
abusing the Mayor and town attorney
for the unjust fine. and was fined So
for contempt of court, which was af-
forwards RENTED.
Mrs. Nation refused to pay the fine,
and insisted on going to jail for the
thirty-third time, but against her
wishes the fine and costs were paid
by Rev. Boyd E. Hudson. the Methodist
! minister, who. while not altogether
agreeing to all she said, could not see
a woman go to Jail.
She left on the 2 o'clock train for
Richmond leaving the town stirred
from centre to circumference.

Nothing in medical science Is more

lectcd inevitably results In decline and

preaching It's victisf, and often, is we'll
advanced before 1t is detected. On
this account 1t is necessary to begin
treatment as soon as the first symp-
toms are noted.
Mrs. Elizabeth Barnett, Of sos ASH

by these pills. She says:
During the spring of three years
ago I began to suffer with anaemia.
was overworked and did not rest
nor derive nourishment from my food.
Everything I ate felt heavy in my
stomach, gas formed on 1t, and had
no appetite. My hands and feet were
cold, 1 was troubled with dizzy spells,
and my lips and cheeks turned white.
I had severe backaches at times, and
1t was hard work for me to bend or
stoop over to pick up anything. Ny
sleep was restless. my head ached a
great DEAL and 1 grew quite weak.
II was sick about a year before
began to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
They soon helped me. and I used them
until cured. My appetite became
hearty, grew strong. and have since
been entirely we'll. We consider the
pills the best blood-builder and tonic
medicine to be had"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are the

any malady that the system is heir
IN IT'S SECONDARY STAGE WE
POSSESS NO SPECIFIC FOR IT'S
RAVAGES."
Who're does that leave the kidney
medicines you have been taklng2
And, just as we have said over and
over. 1t doesn't make much difference
what you call kidney trouble. II 1t
fastens, physicians and druggists have
had no successful treatment for 1t.
True, 1t commonly gets well at first:
stage that was tncurablc UP to the dis
covery OF Fulton's Renal Compound,
which is the first thing known to re-
duce Inflammation In kidney tissues.
When does the second stage COM
mence? Or. Chisrnond says: "1T DE-
vELOPs SO UNcoNscIousLY IT IS.
AS A RULE, FAR ADVANCED BE-
FORE 1T IS DISCOVERED"
In view of these acknowledged facts,
people with kidney trouble should co
taking futile kidney medicines under
which the kidney deaths have risen
to over ITO per day. Even II the In
Illumination is in the first stage, a
course Of futile medicine is delay that
develops the very condition that DR..
chismond says is "irreparable," and
that was irreparable up to the date
of Fulton's benefcent discovery.
II you have kidney trouble, either
starting or seated, how can there be
any question about your taking the
only known specific for inflammation
of the kidneys, which. incipient or
chronic, Is the real difficulty with kid
ney troubled people.
