II have personally examined the

sand pump while the drill was pass

several wells from the region OF
HEttsburg south eastward across
Western Pennsylvania, West Vir-
6 MIA and Southeastern Ohio and on
TO the Big Sandy river at the Ken

result that over a belt having a

600 tons. 1t is gu tie certain that

than forty billion tons and. Ohio
probably not moro than 25,00O,-
600 tons of commercial bituminous
coal.
This shortage in coal brings to
the citizens OF the Pttseburg p re-
Sion, tho present manufacturing
centre OF the world, the most seri-
ed them. You have been told that
you had 100000, 100000 tons of
coal dn your mines and that II
would suffice for $50 to 200 years,
while the truth is you have only
one-th.rd OF that amount, and with
she present wasteful mining meth

The same causes will in approx
mately that time exhaust all OF the
cheaply mined thin vslns in the
Allegheny series of Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Northern West Virginia,
and Pittsburgs industries will have
entered upon expensive methods of
mining coal by deep shafts to beds

If the Democratic party leaders.

their ticket as the candidate for Del
egate to Congress, these worthy gem

not take the Office If it were offered

Help Hawaii
Fish Culture
BILL FAV0RABLY REPORTED
WILL PROMOTE FISH
CULTURE

The Committee on the Merchant
Marine and Fisheries, to whom was
referred the bill CH. Il. 1899 pro-
viding for a flsh-cultural and biolog-
ical station in the Territory of Ha-
wall, having had the same under
consideration, recommended that the
bill do pass without amendment.
For generations past, fish have
constituted one of the few staples OF
food of the Hawaiian people, and the
maintenance of the supply is a high
ly important economic factor in Ha-
waiian life.
Very extensive fish ponds have
been ipclosed for the better propaga-
tion and growth of certain varieties
of food FISH. Some of these large
ponds are Government property, but
the majority are private holdings. In
addition there are certain bays and
reefs where food fish have their hab-
itat, whose multiplication could he
greatly increased.
There is probably no place in the
United States where "A fish-cultural
and biological station could be more
advantageously located than in Ha-
wall.
The bill stipulates that the Ter
Titory of Hawaii shall provide, free
of cost to the United States, the nee
essary land and water rights required
for the equipment of such station.
The Commissioner Of Fisheries rec
ommends the passage of this bill in
the following letter, which is made
part of this report:

No other medicine has been so
successful in relieving the suffering
of women or received so many gen.

In every community you will find
women who have been restored to
health by Lydia 4. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound. Almost every
one you meet has either been bene-
fitted by it, or has friends who have.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at

from women seeking health, and
here are the letters in which they
openly state over their own sigma

Lydia +. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has saved many women
from surgical operations.
Lydia Il. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is made from roots and
herbs, without drugs, and is whole
some and harmless.
The reason why Lydia Z. 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

Will BE Hard to Beat.

Many Of the Republican papers
at the North frankly admit that
their party will find Mr.. Bryan n
more formidable candidate than
many Of their leaders pretend to
think he Is. The New York evening
Post says: That Mr.. bryan will
be the Democratic candidate for
the presidency this year, if he
chooses to be. may now be set down
as among the political certainties.
And those republican managers are
living in a fools paradise who think
it will be a holiday task to beat him.
The forces which make Mr.. Bryan's
candidacy formidable are not hid
den. He has q vast and idolizing
personal following. It's vote can be
transferred to no other. As a cam
paigner, he has inexhaustible physi-
cal energy, and resources of agita-
ton. And on what willing ears hi.
appeals would fall in present ciMp,
cumstances! Are the Republicans
not aware how he could retort all
their own favorite arguments upon
them with terrific force? The re-
publican platform Of 1896 could be
read as an Indictment of the re-
publican party Of 1903. All the
dire consequences of misgovern-
ment therein set forth are now
swarming home to condemn repub-
lican policies. A panic has come
under republican rule. Business
has suffered deep hurt; mills have
shut down; thousands of men ere
out of work; the unemployed
throng the cities; the of
charity are strained to provide for
those in want by no fault of their
own. Does any republican leader in
his senses doubt that Mr.. Bryan
could make great play with these
undeniable facts? Bearing in mind
his extraordinary gifts as an agita-
tor, and remembering how invaria-
bly, the party in power loses popular
support when depression over
takes industry and cripples enter
prise, no one but republican drunk
with complacency could deny that
the coming campaign will test his
party to the utmost" This is an
honest confession of Mr.. Bryan's
= at strength as a candidate.

States His Position.

In response to a question asked
by a representative of the Philadel-
phia Telegraph, Mr.. Bryan said:
IF the voters Of tie democratic
party want another than myself
nominated at Denver they ought to
instruct their delegates to that eff
feet. If they want me nominated
they ought to instruct their delegates
for me. 1t is not q matter to be de-
cided by me or by any small faction
of the democratic voters. 1t is for
the majority of voters to determine.
