international Parliamentary Union Is
Attended by Men From All Nations.
Brussels. = Another step in the
worlds peace movement is the
meeting of the International Parlia-
mentary union, which opened in the
city Monday. 1t is attended by promi-
nent opponents of universal peace
for the leading nations of the world.
Initiated in 1888 by William Randall
Cremer, afterwards knighted for his
services in the cause of peace, 1t
grew from meeting of a few rep
resentatives of the parliaments of
France and Great Britain, until, two
years ago, when it met in Berlin, it
brought together 900 men from 81
different countries. Ex-members as
well as members of parliaments are
eligible to membership in the union.
the total of which is more than 1000.

CHOLERA SPREADING In
CAPITAL OF GERMANY
Two New Cases Are Discovered In
Berln-Plague Starts at kiev,
Russia.

Berlin. = Twenty-eight new cases
of Asiatic cholera, or of suspected
cholera, were reported in Ber
lin and Spandau, suburb of some
10000 people, nine miles west of Ber
lin. The health authorities state that,
in all, only three cases have been
definitely established to be true
Asiatic cholera; of these, one died in
Berlin and one died in Spandau. All
suspected cases are being examined
bacteriologically.
The health officers say there is not
the slightest probability that the dis
ease will spread; that all the cases
have been traced to a single original
source, fact that should quiet the
public alarm aroused by the authori-
ties ignorance as to how the disease
originated here. Nevertheless the
health authorities are very active and
alert
st. Petersburg, Russia. The
cholera epidemic is lessening. Fig
ures for the capital were Al
cases, IL deaths and 638 persons
developed at Odessa Sunday and Mon
day.
Prof. Rein, head of the special SAM
tary commission which is fighting the
pestilence in South Russia, reported
today from the province of Yekater-
inoslav that the railways Of the south
east had registered 2,319 cases among
their passengers and employees. Elk
traordinary efforts are being made by
the introduction Of ambulance cars
and medical aid to prevent the rail-
roads from serving as distributors of
the infection.

Black Death Centuries Ago.

In what spirit did the superstitious
people of the Middle Dark Ages meet
the Great Plague when it came like
q black thunder cloud over Europe?
Many, many committed suicide in the
first frenzies of fear. Merchants and
the rich, seeking to divert the wrath
of heaven, carried their treasures to
the churches and the mOnasteries,
where often the monks, fearing to re-
ceive the infection with them, shut
their gates against any such offering.
Then it was in mad desperation heav-
ed over the walls and forced on the
monks; thus the panic-stricken hoped
TO have monks save life and soul.
Even sound, well men, consumed and
corroded by fear and anxiety, wan
dered wan and Ivid as the rotting
dead. Houses were Stunned and
nodded and tumbled, for the plague
lasted for years. Many villages and
towns were actually deserts of houses,
empty. silent as woods and fields, or
"antres vast!" This is speaking of the
Black Death that began in England
In 134S.

Vegetable Compound has done 1or me-
during this trying period. Complete
restoration to health means 30 much
to me that for the sake of other suffer
ing women ! am willing to make my
trouble public SO you may publish
this letter. II MRS. CHAs. BARCLAY,
RID, Graniteville, Vt.
No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and I'M
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, fbroid 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.

LACK OF MONEY
Was a Godsend in This Case.

1t is not always that a lack of
money is a benefit.
A lady of Green Forest, Ark, owes
her health to the fact that she could
not pay in advance the fee demand
ed by specialist to treat her for
stomach trouble. In telling of her
case she says:
Il had been treated by four differ
ent physicians during 10 years Of
stomach trouble. Lately 1 called on
another who told me he could not cure
me; that I had neuralgia of the stom-
ach. Then l went to a specialist who
told me l had catarrh of the stomach
and said he could cure me in four
months but would have to have his
money down. I could not raise the
necessary sum and in my extremity l
was led to quit coffee and try Postum.
$50 I stopped coffee and gave Post
UNI a thorough trial and the results
have been magical. l now sleep well
at night, something l had not done
for long time; the pain in my stom-
ach is gone and / am a different
woman.
Il dreaded to quit coffee. because
every time had tried to stop it suf-
fered from severe headaches, so con-
tinued to drink it although / had rea-
son to believe it was injurious to me,
and was the cause of my stomach
trouble and extreme nervousness. But
when l had Postum to shift to it was
different
ITO my surprise did not miss cof-
fee when 1 began to drink Postum.
Coffee had been steadily and sure
ly killing me and l didn't fully realize
what was doing it until l quit and
changed to Postum"

one appears from time to time. They
are genuine, trues and full of human
interest

crease Is In the Cities.
Washington. - The state of Mich
igan has population of $780,
173, according to the figures for the
thirteenth census, given out. The re-
turns are made known in advance Of
the regular order, SO as to permit ar
rangements for the elections, which
are dependent on the number of in
habitants in the various cities and
counties
Ten years ago the population of
Michigan was 2,420,9S2, the gain
shown being 389,191, or 1911 per cent.
During the preceding decade the gain
was 327,093, or 1876 per cent. The
greatest gain has been in the cities,
Detroit helping out the total state
population immensely with it's in
crease of SO per cent, or 180,602
Other cities showing notable increases
have been Bay City, Flint, Grand Rap
ids. Kalamazoo and Lansing.
While there has been increase in
the rural sections as a whole, several
counties show decreases. The growth
of manufacturing in the state is given
as the reason for the great impetus
to urban population.

MILFORD WINS TROPHY.
Drives Lozier Car to Victory in 3o5-
Mile Race at EIgin.

Mile Race at EIgin.
Elgin, Ill., In a nerve rack
ing, reckless race that kept 100,-
900 men and women in a fever heat
of excitement for more than four
hours, Ralph milford, driving Lo-
zier, smashed worlds records and
won the great Elgin National trophy
at the dizzy speed of 62.5 miles an
hour.
Thirty-six times the blond driver
circuited the rough course of country
roads-a course of eight miles 2,499
feet, or, roughly, eight and one-half
miles-with but a single stop. And
this stop was made under his mis-
taken impression that tire was in
danger of slipping from the rim.
The remarkable feature of Null
ford's run lies in the fact that he
approached within three-tenths of a
mile the maximum average in the
classic Vanderbilt cup event of "a
year ago. That such a run could be
made on country roads, with prac-
dcally no preparation and for much
greater distance than that of the
Vanderbilt .cup race, is looked upon
by experts as little short of mar
velous.
Livingstone's record as second at
the goal was co., miles an hour for
the entire run of 305.03 miles.

LIVE STOCK RECEIPTS DROP.
July Figures of Interior Markets Be-
low Those of June.

Washington. Live stock re-
ceipts during July at seven primary;
interior markets, 2,29S,675 head, were;
on a lower scale than during the pre-.
ceding month, according to the bureau,
of statistics of the department of com:
merce and labor. An increased COM
mercial supply of sheep and cattle
during the month was more than
counterbalanced by the falling off in,
the arrival of hogs
Similar declines also were noted in
the monthly arrivals of live stock at;
the four leading Atlantic sea coast
cities, the July total, 650,637 head,
falling 20 per cent. below the figure
for the preceding month.
Shipments Of packing-house prod
ucts during July, amounting to 1872
987,400 pounds. likewise fell below the
June figures.

Rail Rates Before Commission.
Chicago. "The Santa Fe rail-
roads earnings on us capitaliza7
ton have been exceedingly low, at
one time as low as an average Of 4.68
per cent, and we were forced to-
sell our bonds at a discount of $8,000,-
000 The road needs cash badly and
it is necessary to advance the freight
rates to get it,
This was part Of the testimony Of
E. P. Ripley, president of the Ate
ison, Topeka & Santa Fee railroad be-
fore the interstate commerce COM
mission, sitting in the federal build
ing to determine whether an increase
of freight rates by the railroads shall
be allowed to go into effect.
President Ripley, the first witness,
testified that all the roads were fail
ing to realize on the capital invested,
that from the many improvements
made on the various roads little re-
turns were derived and that an adj
vance Of freight rates was necessary
for the prosperity and upbuilding of
the lines.

Ostermann-"Lost" Data Found.
Chicago. - Hearing of the case
against Frank B. Hartman, Charles
L. Ewing and John M. Taylor, former
Illinois Central officials charged with
defrauding the company through car
repairs, was resumed in Judge Brug-

legged attack upon him in the offices
of the company when he threatened to
disclose the gigantic steal.
Reuthers testimony was given after
strenuous objections by Attorney

defendants

clared "out of the doctors hands"
Sunday night at his home in ST.
James, L. l., to which he had been
removed from the Hoboken hospital

at the mayors home and that he re-
quires rest and quiet while conval-
escing. He explained that after ten
days or two weeks it might be con-

that no attempt had been made to re-
move the bullet by an operation.
