LYDIA E. PlNKHAM

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 B. Pinkham's Veg. etable Compound. Almost every one you meet has either been bene. fited by it, or has friends who have.
 In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,M Mass, any ywomananydaymay 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 B. 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. s I
 The reason why Lydia E. Pink. hams Vegetable Compound is so successful is because it contains in. gredients which act directly upon the feminine organism, restoring it to a 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

ONE OF THE WET WEATHER
RECORDS FOR JUNE WILL
Be MADE THIS YEAR
GOOD REPORTS COMING N
From Different Parts Of the
County on the Wheat Crop.
Corn In Good Condition

The present June 10 after the record
for rain fall for that month just about
four inches haye fallen at Dodge City
since the first Of June. and 10 some parts
OF the county even more. Only eight
times In record Of twenty years has this
happened.
RIM Wright who has been looking At
the wheat prospects during the last week
says that there will be good two thirds
Of crop Of wheat this year, and II this
is correct, with the large acreage that is
out II means vast amount Of wheat for
Ford county. There are portions Of the
county where some Of the wheat was
badly damaged before the rains, but
there arc other portions where It was
looking fine. N. J. Smith, who Is here
from Ford, says that their wheat 10 that
locality is booming. Bucklin people say
that there is splendid whestin that town.
ship, and in other localities heard from.
James Jaynes has field Of wheat about
three miles north east Of Dodge City, on
cod land, that he says 10 eeod for fifteen
bushels per acre, and q short time ago Il
was heard that wheat would be . failure
In that locality.
The rain Of last Saturday night Of 3:l6
inches, followed q shower on June first
Of .S5. Monday night . quarter Of an
Inch Of water fell, and again Tuesday
night there was a fall Of IA.
Seine Of the corn planted 10 in great
condition now, and 40 the rest Of this
month is expected to be rainy season,
It ought to be very good crop.
The nrst I've months Of the pres
ent year are practically the same by the
records at the weather station, ss the
same months Of 1899. In that year
heavy June rains came. II inches in all
In June, and the rainfall for the year was
2S.45 inches, and It is believed that this
year will be repetition, and thst there
will be much wet weather to follow the
present time. There was something else
that followed In 1899. After the big
rains Of that year the wheat crop sown
for 1900 get good start, the spring rains
came earlier, some time In April, and
there was big crop for 1900, the acreage
sown averaging 10 bushels per acre.
Last year there was lot Of wheat 10
fields where the owners thought there
would be total failure, some of them
had even determined at one time to plow
II up, and some who have thought up to
the present time this year that they
would have no wheat will no doubt have
Q pleasant surprise coming.
The writer has heard number from
the country. or who are out over the
county every week, declare there will be
more wheat In Ford county this year
than there was last year. From now on
the reports will no doubt be better, as
such soaking rain can work wonders.

Were Scared Worse than the Others.
The Jury 10 the case OF State VS.. Felix
Balerzs, one Of the Mexicans charged
with robbing Arthur Sheppard, brought
10 verdict Of guilty this morning.
The state made pretty strong case.
By the evidence, Arthur Sheppard and
two other colered men went to the Mexi-
can shack occupied BY Baleraz, EspInosa
and others, Sheppard wanting TO seli
them some OF his furniture. While there
Sheppard displayed roll Of money, which
Bslsras promptly grabbed from him. .
Espinosa then reached into his pocket as
though after . knife and shouted
"vamoose" and the colored men escaped
from the shack leaving the money. The
only place the evidences Of the eolored
men was at variance was regarding which
one Of them got out first. Eaeh one testi-
aed that be was first ont. II the evidence
WAS true they were all 20 scared that they
did not know how they got out, nor who
was first, so that the fact that they were
oil "out 6rst" probably made pretty
good point 10 the evidence.
Baleraz was defended by Wing &
0gilvy, and the state was represented by
County Attorney Carl Van Rlper, assisted
by Karl Miller Of the law iirm OF Madison
& Madison. Espinosa Is on trial today.

the greater part Of hIs audience, and
William Allen White, who had made the
accusations which were being answered
BY Senator Long had publicly admitted
at i've different times during the speech,
that hs (whIts) had been wrong and thai
Long had been right. Once Ar. White
arose and admitted that bis charge againa
senator Long had been wrong, that be
had done him an injustice, and that hs
publicly apologized to him. Senator
