Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made me well woman and I have no more backache. I hope can help others by telling them what Lydia D. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me-" MRS. EMMA MISE, S33 First St., Milwaukee, Wis.
 The above is only one of the thou sands of grateful letters which are constantly being received by the Pinkham Medicine Company of Lynn, Mass., which prove beyond doubt that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Con- pound, made from roots and herbs, actually does cure these obstinate dis eases of women after all other means have failed, and that every such suf- ering woman owes it to herself to at least give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta- ble Compound a trial before submit ting to an operation, or giving up hope of recovery.
 Mrs. Pinkham, of Lynn, Mass, invites all sick women to write her for advice. She has guided thousands to health and her advice is free.

Widest Excesses

Beirut. April 29.-Massacres in the Adana province and in scores of scat tered villages without this province reached their widest exceSseS to-day according to dispatches that are now being received here. The village of KasSaba where the fierceSt rioting has been in progress for four days, is now on fire. The Moslems have kill ed nearly every Christian in the town. The latter have been hunted down like wolves and shot down in the most bar barous fashion. The riots are declared to be the worst in years.
 The local food supply is rapidly be- coming exhausted and help is urgently needed. There has been little trouble in Beirut but the fanatical MOSlemS are gradually approaching the town and a repetition of the Adana horrors is feared.
 American and Italian missionary families are said to have been the only foreigners in Kassaba who escaped the mob violence.

of Christians in the worlds history. The wave of massacre is now sweeping eastward from Adana.
 Up to the present time the rioters have shown a regard for the foreign population through fear that an attack on foreigners would bring intervention. With the increasing excitement this fear is diminishing and Europeans and Americans will soon suffer the same fate as the unfortunate Armen- ianS.
 The dispatch of small bodies of troops to the scene may temporarily check the disturbances
 Abdul is in grave danger of assas- sination by some of the Young Turks who are dissatisfied with the leniency shown to him. In the event of an up- rising by the Reactionaries which is threatened, AbduIS assassination will be almost inevitable.
 The Tnutiny of the soldiers of the Fourth and Fifth Army Corps station ed at Ererum and Aleppo respective ly, mentioned in yesterdays United Press dispatches, was verified to-day by the Youngs Turks agents. The situation is declared to be the most threatening, presaging almost certain civil war.
 The rank and file of the soldiers in these two corps are anxious to start a war for the re-establishment of the deposed Sultan and the officers of the various regiments who remain loyal to the Young Turks are vigorously try ing to put down the mutiny.
 The Reactionaries in western Mace donia are also in state of insurrec- tion and in Northern Albania the Young Turks opponents are continu- ing the revolt which began week ago. They are in a majority and are killing the Liberals. The need of immediate action to prevent the sweeping of Asia Minor by a terrible civil war was to- day placed before Mehemmed V, which is the title of Rechard Effendi as Sul- tan and he has promised to send a huge army into Asia Minor at once.
 The captured Reactionaries were put to death to-day. The total of the ex- cautions is being kept secret but it is believed to have reached several hun dred with hundreds more to follow. No mercy will be- shown to any of the leaders of the uprising of April 13 La ter dispatches from Smyrna say that massacres in the Adana province are continuing with unabated fury.

WE SHALL SEE WHAT
WE SHALL SEE"

Few, if any, regrets are anywhere expressed over the deposition of Abdul Halnid, Sultan Of Turkey, whose pro- racted reign has been marked by many atrocities and exactions. He has. however, been exceptionally able IS . diplomat, having many times pre- rented foreign intervention by playing me power against another until he brought both to a stand still.
 3hkre are hopeful expectations that kis successor. Nehemmed .Rechad, will provo 10 be more progressive and en- tghtened. and this should be the fact, Eor he owes his position to the Young E1rars who have been the promoters of bonstituttpnaf government and who win probably control his Cabinet. The new eultkn eArs-or is perhaps inspir- "a Co oay-th6t he is "a convinced and ardent supporter of the cause of en- bgh1snnpepts liberty and progress g md s'nn advocate of a constitutional ehRtsr and parliamentary institu- dones" and also ga firm supporter of Inc pollcy of Young Turkey Carried Into fuH effect, such a statenient must give Turkey the great novelty of good governmant.
 650t Cu0I6 18 an 0DSCdCl6. AS1dClC Eurlkey is reacfionary and threatens trouble, and it may become necessary Tor the new Sultan to use force there. Strangely enough, the dissatisfaction is based upon fear that the change pf government means injury, or at least loss of prestige to the Moham- medan religuon-that Christians are to be granted rights and privileges not aow held by them, including service in the army instead of paying heavy military tax and perhaps even partici- patton eventually in the government. AS the Sheik-Ul-islem, head of the pre- vaiIing religion, decreed tue deposition of Abdul Hamfd for religious reasons, and acquiesced in the succession of Mehemmed Rechad presumably for similar reasons, it does not appear that the Asiatic dissatisfaction has any solid basis, and it may disappear when the exact facts become generally known In the meantime. outsiders may quote the old Turkish proverb, we shall see what we shall see.''

MEETING OF JOE AND Bob.
New Orleans STATES Satlres ''0ur Bob and
"Unksy" Joe Cannon.

4 dispatch from ST. Louis tells of
a meeting that occurred in that city
between Speaker Cannon and Con
gresham Bob Broussard of this State,
which there is reason to believe was
a rather pathetic affair. It is said
that Uncle Joe" was especially cor
dial, that he folded Robert to his
bosom as though he we're a long-lost
child, or some other person quite
dear to him, and that the two poured
tender words into each others ear,
says the New Orleans States.
The reporter did not give all the
touching details, but she Imagination
can easily supply them. We feel safe
in the assertion that Speaker Cannon's
public exhibition of affection and con-
fdence wrought powerfully on The
emotions of "0ur Bob" as be is call
ed out in the Third Congressional dis
trict; that be struggled manfully to
control himself, but realizing that it
was impossible, buried his face deep
into the Speakers chin whiskers and
weepingly exclaimed: "0h, Unkey!
oh, Unkey! How good you are to me!'
There was moisture, too, We opine,
in Mr.. Cannon's eyes. as well as his
whiskers, when he replied to the
Broussardian ontburst Of gratitude
with another gentle embrace, and
said. Don't mention it my dear,
dear boy. There is a tie that binds
our souls, and you know what it is
Now let US find a place where we may
slack our thirst. Already the vulgar
rabble is looking on and preparing t
grin obnoxiously."
When two souls with but a single
thought, two hearts that throb Al
one, come together after an agoniz
ing separation. however short it maj
be, the spectacle is worthy Of tbs
mention it received in the newspaper
dispatches. That Uncle joe should
hug his Bob, and Bob should blusl
and weep for joy is one Of those pa
thetic episodes that do not often DC
cur in political life and it is well thaI
it commanded the attention Of . Wig
