Will Withdraw Troops.

Washington.-Pres Roosevelt
has determined to withdraw the fed
eral troops from Goldfeld, Nevada,
shortly after the convening of the
special session of the legislature, which
met Tuesday. This intention was
made known at the White House
when the report of the special inyesti-
eating commission was made public.
together with letter from the Presi-
dent to Governor Sparks dated Janu-
ary 4th.
The President says he shall be gov
erned by the recommendations in the
report unless the governor can show
that the statements of the report are
not in accordance with the facts. The
report says:
THE conditions did not support the
general allegations in the governor S
request for troops, nor were his spe-
cific statements established to any
such extent as to justify his use of
these statements for the purpose of
getting federal troops"
The commission expresses itself as
satisfied that out of the entire men,
bership in the miners union there are
not over a few hundred men of dan
gerous type, while the great majority,
probably three-fourths of the member
ships Of the union, were conceded to be
men of law-abiding tendencies. The
report adds:
by permitting their organization to
be managed and controlled by men of
violent tendencies. the union as body
has thus laid itself open to the re-
proach of being a vicious organiza-
t;on.
''In view of the foregoing facts we
believe there is considerable danger
that serious disorders will be attempt
ed if the troops be withdrawn and the
mine operators insist on carrying out
their publicly announced policy. But
IL handful of men have controlled
the Goldfield Miners Union and com
mitted the organization to indefensible
policies and practices. it is no reason
why the county of Esmeralda and the
state of Nevada should tamely submit
to the domination OF this same group
and should not assert their authority
and power and enfore respect for law
and order without support of federal
troops"

Railroad claim-agents have little
faith In their fellow creatures. One
said recently: Every time l settle a
claim with one of these hard.headed
rural residents who wants the rail-
road to pay twice what he would

hold the railroad responsible for
every accident. of whatever kind. that
happens. Two Irishmen were driving
home from town one night when their
buggy ran into ditch, overturned.
and they were both stunned When a
rescuer came along and revived them,

Awful Theater Disaster.

Boyertown, Pa.-One hundred per.
cons of this borough were killed in a
theater fire and panic Monday night
and nearly three-score injured, many
of them fatally. A majority of the

Why, then, was there a touch of

LYDIA e. PINKHAM

Nature and woman's work com.
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 to
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 Z. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious than any combination of drugs.
Lydia E. 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 I
could hardly walk. About two years
ago wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.

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,
it will do for other suffering women.
