LYDIA E. PINKH1M

Nature and a woman's work con- 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 baffle the most skilled physicians who have spent years in the study of drugs. t#
 From the roots and herbs of the field Lydia k. Pinkham more than thirty years ago gave to the women of the world a remedy for their pe- culiar ills, more potent and effica- cious thanany 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 I 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 could hardly walk. About two years age wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice. followed it, and can truly say that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Con- pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re- stored health and strength. It is worth mountains of gold to suffering 
 What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege- | able Compound did for Mrs. Muff, 1 twill do for other suffering women. 1

HOME NEWS. OBITUARY.
ROBERT E. SKIDMORE.


 Robert E. Skidmore, one of the best
 known real estate brokers in Bridge
 port, whose familiar figure has been
 conspicuous about the city streets for
 30 years, died Saturday night, at the
 Bridgeport hospital, where he was taken last Tuesday suffering with double pneumonia. Mir Skidmore was in his 71st year. He had an office in the Citizens building for the past 10 years and was able to visit it until a week ago last Saturday, when he con- tracted cold. He left the office to go to his home, 574 Kossuth street, in forming J. w. Camp, his associate, that he would remain home until his cold was improved. Pneumonia de- veloped rapidly and there was little hope for the patient from the first. His constitution, which was frail, had been weakened by the loss of his wife two years ago, since which time MT Skidmore has gone into gradual de-, cline. He was broken in spirit as we'll as in health by the affliction, and many times expressed the hope that he might fall into the sleep from which there is no awakening. MT Skidmore was at one time man of large financial in- terests. He is said to have reaped over $50, 900 in stocks some 30 years ago, the most of which he invested in the St Charles hotel in New York and subsequently, lost. He followed the stock market many years. He was a native of New York state but resided in this city upwards of 40 years. He owned large tract of unimproved on East Main street extend ing to the Huntington road, which he had cut up into building lots and was 1isposing of of late years. He became involved in the Arnold deal in the West some few years ago, which had an un- fortunate termination as disclosed by he Lumpkin bond robbery in East Bridgeport. MT Skidmore induced lumber of his friends to invest in the western scheme. They lost but it is aid that he made good as far as he ould the most of the losses. Mir Skid- nore had a daughter. an only child, Vho died some ten years ago and a rother who was in the parcels express usiness running from this city to Iew York and who was accidently filed few years ago while making trip. A sister, Miss Caroline Skid lore, survives him. MT Skidmore 'as frequent visitor in Newtown, a uest at the home of his cousin, J. A. lackman. He was short of stature nd was easily distinguishable on the g rect by his tall silk hat with crepe I and, which he invariably wore. The neral was held, Tuesday evening, at 30 o'clock from the late home of the d ceased. The burial was on Wednes- [ ly at HawleyvilIe. Il

The bones of the skeleton found Sunday
last in n thicket near the Mount Vernon
estate have been buried in an unmarked
grave. All possibility of Identifying the
remains appears to have vanished al
though Justice Wright expresses hope
that in the near future the bones, believed
to be those of an italian, will be identi-
fed. The Fairfax county authorities are
of the opinion that the unknown was not
the victim of foul play as at first sup
posed. but probably died from natural
causes, and that his bones had been where
they were found for about two years. A
watch and several other articles found
near the remains are being held by JUS
tice Wright.
The work of improving upper Queen
street and the northern part of Fayette
street Is progressing rapidly. On both
thoroughfares the reefs have been gut
tered. graded and graveled and curbing
has been set When completed this will
add considerably to the appearance of
these streets.
Arrangements are being made for the

far-rea ching consequence. Our President
elect, William Howard Taft, commended
himself to the good judgment of the

public confidence and given stimulus to
honest enterprises. His election is a tonic

Buildings Of Small Value.

ST shall not stop to discuss the matter
of compensation in detail farther than to
say that, doubtless, the buildings to be
removed under the proposed law would
generally be of small value If to be paid
for, and that very likely the courts will
declare that no compensation will be due
for the enforcement in a reasonable way
of the proposed regulations concerning
future building operations.
However, such questions will all be
within the jurisdiction Of the courts, and
any one entitled to compensation Will re-
