Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compounds We can
furnish positive proof that it has made many remarkable
cures after all other means had failed.
Women who are suffering with some form of female
illness should consider this.
AS such evidence read these two unsolicited testimonial
letters. We guarantee they are genuine and honest state
ments of facts.
Gardiner. Maine. 81 was a great sufferer from a female
disease and weakness. The doctor said 1 would have to go to
the hospital for an operation but l could not bear to think of It..
Lydia Il. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound completely cured
me In three months."-Mrs s. A. Williams, r. I'D. No. II, Box
So. West HarbOr, Me.-"I suffered for years with painful
periods, backache, headaches, nervousness, Irregularities and
Inflammation. 1 consulted two physicians and one advised me
to have an operation.
"Iwas completely discouraged when decided to try Lydia f.
Pinkhams Vegetable Compound, and IL has made me a we'll
woman. 1 advise all suffering women to take Lydia Il. Pink
hams. Vegetable Compound" Mrs. Lillian Robbins, South
West Harbor, Me.
Evidence like the above is abundant showing that the
arrangements OF the female organism which breed all kinds
of miserable feelings and which ordinary practice does not
cure, are the very disorders that give way to Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Women who are afflicted with similar troubles, after
reading two such letters as the above, should be encouraged
to try this wonderfully helpful remedy.

The Republican Tariff Measure

VIII the adoption Of the tariff bill
under consideration result in the defeat
Of the republican party two years
hence? This is q question good
many republican voters and a good
many editors Of republican newspapers
are asking. The answer Of very large
number is that il will They belong
10 that large class Of voters who believe
tina, platform pledges are made 10 be
kept. The rank and file is not yet
poisoned with the specious doctrine Of
the politician that platforms are made
to catch votes"
The conviction that the tariff bill
now before congress is not responsive
TO the republican platform pledge IS
not confined TO a few senators; il is
very widespread. Many large and in
fuential newspapers have condemned in
unmeasured terms the bill and intimat-
ed With no uncertain ring that the
adoption Of the Aldrich bill will result
in republican defeat two years hence.
Mr.. Taft repeatedly told the repub-
lican voters iromthe platform in the
last campaign, that revision meant
downward"
Those senators who equiyocate about
the meaning Of the tariff plank in the
republican platform probably had some
thing to do with the making Of it and
intended il should be capable Of a double
Interpretation. But the president does
not belong to that school Of party adher-
ents. He believes, as did Mr.. Roose-
welt, that a promise has a plain, obvious
meaning, and should be lived up to.

Death of Jack Smith.

Word was received on Tuesday,
shortly after II o'clock, that Jack
Smith had died in Providence hospital,
Seattle, at ten minutes past u O'Clock.
The news was not unexpected. For
some time it has been known that Mr..
Smiths days were numbered. He
left here about February IS for Seat
tie, to be operated on. The operation
proved successful, but disclosed the
fact that Mr.. Smith was afflicted with
cancer OF the stomach, which must
inevitably cause his death. After he
rallied from the operation, he returned
to Leavenworth for week or two. but
on the advice of his physician, he re
turned to Seattle. He was much re-
duced in flesh before he died.
Jack Smith was born in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, and would have been 48
years old had he lived until December.
While he was quite a child the family
removed to Wabasha, Mimi, where all
his relatives now reside, one brother,
Amiel, being mayor OF the town at
this time. Jack Smith came 10 Leay-
enworth in 1892, with the advent OF
the railroad. He was engaged in the
saloon business, but was generally re-
spected for being good, law-abiding
citizen. He accumulated consider
able money and property. He was
very charitable and never refused to
aid those in need.
Two brothers, Amiel and julius
Schmidt, were with him at the time Of
his death His name was originally
Schmidt, but when he left home he
dropt the German form OF spelling and
called himself Smith for the sake Of
simplicity. julius Schmidt was here
Wednesday and returned 10 Seattle the
following day, accompanied by Mrs.
Tholin and Miss Anna and Ed Tholin,
who are old friends and business asso-
ciates Of Mr.. Smith. The remains
will be taken to the old home, Wa
basha, for interment.
Mr.. Smith was a member oil the
Odd Fellows and Eagles and life
member OF the Elks.

"BOB" MELDRUM TO CLEAN OUT
WYOMING CATTLE RUsTLERs.
Typical Gun Fighter Will Be Pitted
Against Unknown Number of
Desperadoes Men Who
Know Say He Will Win.

Denver Col-"Bob" Medium, a typ
ical gun-fghter of frontier days, has
been given the job of cleaning out"
the cattle rustlers who have been ma
king life miserable for the cattlemeIi
in one of their last western strong
holds-the Little Snake river country,
on the Colorado Wyoming line, near
Utah.
FITTING one man against band of
outlaws who would just as soon kill a
human being as a steer, does not look
like the accepted idea of fair play"
but those who know Bob" Medium
have no fears as to the outcome. The
cattleinen of the Little Snake river
country are backing the sinewy, keen
eyed deputy sheriff against all the
bad men" who infest that part of the
country.
For years the country adjoining the
Little Snake river has been the haunt
of characters more or less undesir-
able. 1t Is wild and unfreQuented
country, remote from railroads. On the
vast ranges run countless thousands of
cattle and sheep. There have been
bloody conflicts between the cattle
and sheep men, but finally their diff
ferences were adjusted through the
recognition of dead line" The sheep
are kept north of the Colorado-Wy-
oming line, and the cattle range south
of that line, except when being driv.
en- to the railroad for shipping pur-
poses.
Before this dead line" was estab-
lished clashes were frequent between
herders and cowboys, and many par
