Vegetable Compound has done for me
during this trying period. Complete
restoration to health means so much
to me that for the sake of other suffer-
ing women I am willing to make my
trouble public so you may publish
this letter" Mrs. CHAs. BARCLAY,
RID, Graniteville, vt.
No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and un-
qualified endorsement. No other med
icine we know of has such a record
of cures of female ills as has Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years it has been
curing female complaints such as
Inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses, fibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostration, and it is
unequalled for carrying women safely
through the period of change of life.
It costs but little to try Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and,
as Mrs. Barclay says, it is "worth noun
tains of gold " to suffering women.

Lumber Market Improving.

| Although the market is still pervaded
with feeling of uncertainty, owing to
pending tariff legislation at Washington,
the lumber trade outlook has shown some
slight improvement in South Mississippi
during the past week, according to re-
ports from the leading manufacturers.
Prices remain practically unchanged,
but there have been more inquiries from
prospective buyers, and a goodly number
of mills have booked fair-sized orders for
delivery to domestic points.
Purchases of car stock and the heavier
grades have been more numerous than
for any weekly period within the past
two months, and the purely local de-
mand, orders from towns within the
State, have increased, owing to the ar
rival of the spring building boom.
The foreign market is still dull. Ex-
ports from Gulfport and Pascagoula for
the month drawing to a close will be
much lighter than for the same month
last year, and probably below the Febru-
airy record.
During the months of January and
February exports from Gulfport amount
ed to 36,735 900 feet, valued at $769,91s.
Exports for March from the same har-
Dor will probably be between 15,0OO,O0o
and 100000 feet.

A Gain in Convicts.

The monthly reports of the travelling
sergeant of the State penitentiary, the
camp sergeants and the heads of other
institutions holding authority over con-
victs, which have just been filled out and
tabulated, show that there was a net
gain of six convicts at the end of March
over the number for the previous month.
There were 1850 on hand at the end of
March, while there were received during
the month "a new convicts and one re-
captured convict, making total of 1896
to be accounted for. The deductions for
March were 30, made up of 20 discharged,
their terms having expired, three died,
three pardoned, two escaped and one sent
out as a witness, who had not been re-
turned when the report closed, bringing
the total on hand to 1866.

Smothers Paid Her Fine.

A somewhat ironical condition invests
the case of Emma Smothers, the notori-
Gus and bold-faced blind tigress, who was
caught dead to rights by a regularly COM
missioned police officer at Jackson, and
who fell neatly into his self-laid and self
manipulated trap. When the case was
called in the city magistrates court, the
woman entered a plea of guilty, no doubt
anticipating a minimum sentence, but
the court very promptly made it $3.50
fine, which Smothers paid down in cash.

Proofs.

Developments since Friday in the
case Of z. D. Stapleton, arrested by the
government officials on the charge of

ton of the postofice, tend to make
the case look serious.
Several discoveries have followed in
vestigatiOns made by Lucien H. Smyth,
deputy United States marshal, and c.
D. Lowe, postOffice inspector. A search
of the room where Stapleton had been
boarding revealed portions of money or
ders or stubs taken from the sub
station. which fitted exactly with por-
tons Of orders containing the official
stamp pasted on orders which StapletOn
passed, or attempted to pass.
Stapleton also purchased a suit case
the morning Of his arrest, and left a call
for an eXpressman to stop at his room
and take the grip to the Oregon Short
Line station. Federal officers believe he
was going to leave the city.

were stolen from the substation are

NEW RULE ABOUT
MIL|TIAMEN'S PAY
GuardSmen Must Enlist Soon
to Get Wages at the
EnCampment.

That the joint maneuYer camp Of 1910
will be held early in August, and prob
ably on the Crow Creek reserve in Wyo-
ming, are the opinions of Brigadier
General Wedgwood, who has issued a
circular to guardsmen announcing the
intention of the war department to hold
the activities at the Wyoming camp
next year.
General Wedgwood calls attention TO
the fact that guardsmen must show at
least six months service prior to en-
campment in order to draw pay during
the maneuyers. He prides himself, and
compliments the guard, upon the show
ing made by the Utah boys at the en-
campments held in the past, and be-
lieves that the same standard OF eff
cheney will be shown at the encamp-
ment next year. He calls attention to
the important work of transporting
1000 men Of the regular army and the
national guards of the various states
and modifying them at a place several
hundred miles away from their regular
stamping ground. The task OF provid-,
ing quarters and food for these men is
gigantic, to say the least, and as 1t en-
tails a great deal of expense, the inn
portance of young guardsmen getting
all the benefit possible cannot be min
imiZed.
General Wedgwood says that the war
department has long since forgotten the
notion that anything is good enough
for a soldier" and is now paying more
attention to their welfare in order to
get better men for either branch Of
service.
Some Of the commands that have ap-
peared at maneuvers in the past have
been composed partly of men who have
seen no service of any kind, and yet
they drew pay. The war department,
Immediately following last years man
euvers, issued an order requiring all
those who draw pay to have served at
least six months prior to the encamp-
ment. General Wedgwood, therefore,
invites all young men interested in the
national guard to make themselves
known to officers and enlist before Feb
ruary l. 1910.
