upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound just as this woman did. and

Women who are passing through this

from any of those distressing ills pc

of the fact that for thirty years Lydia

which is made from roots and herbs

A Defy TAT The Whole Republican Party in
Indiana


One of the most scathing denunc at
ions ever delivered from plstform
was hurled against the Republican
party last Thurday before two thous-
and people at Bloomington, Indiana,
by Ex-Governor J. Frank Hanly, who
delivered the temperance address De.
fore the Indiana M. =. Conference.
His speech was complete surprise to
every one present. Sitting in the
audience, and on the platform on
which the Ex-Governor stood, were
several prominent Republican poltl-
clans of the State. There sat ex-Con-
gresham James e. Wstson, who was
defeated for Governor in 1905; State
Chairman OF the Republican party Lee
and some others whose interest in the
Republican party is far more than 1t is
IN the M. f. Church. As the doughty
Ex-Governor hurled shot after shot at
the party he has always voted with,
these politicians sat dumb in their
seats. This speech is the most wonder
full statement ever made by any old
party politician of the prominence OF
Hanly for many years. 1t can have
but one Significance: The &. o. p.
must "came across" or Hanly will
leave his party. For it to have any
other significance would write him
down as consummate hypocrite, a
thing that not even his enemies claim
him to be. The day is downing when
the sun Of Prohibition shall shine
throughout all this land. No man is
better adopted TO lead the Prohibition
army into the White House in 1912, or
in 1916 at the latest, than is Hanly.
Thousands believe the Ex-Governor
means every word he uttered last week;
thousands who know him best think
he has treasured deep down III his
bosom the notion that he is sent from
God to do His will in connection with
the liquor traffic. If this be 50, he will
hit the thing blow that will be felt
around the world. The Ex-Governor is
headed out of the Republican party.
The Prohibitionists can afford 10
offer up fervent prayer that the
wolves do not catch him and devour
his flesh while he is on the journey
From the Republican party 10 apoliti-
cal party that will not betray the
tenn perance people, and to one that
fears God. May the Lord tenderly lead
Hanly from among the enemies OF
his people.-Exehange.

For the third time since the tunnel
connecting the Union Station with the
southern part of the city. which passes
under First street, the House of Rep
resentatives office building and other
Government structures near the Capitol,
was driven by the Pennsylvania Rafl-
road Company, the street car tracks Of
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company passing over 1t, have given
away. According to officials Of the rail-
roads engineering department, similar
troubles will be experienced for an in
definite period. or until all the timbers
between the granite and concrete walls
and tops Of the twin tunnels and the
street surface above have given away.
and the space now occupied by WOOD
work has been filled with more Sub
stantial material.
dollars, the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany Is required to keep that section
Of First street in repairs. whenever the
car tracks begin to sink. the company
is required by the District government
TO make the necessary improvements.
A large force Of workmen now is en-
gagged in reconstructing a part OF the
railway company's trolley tracks. and
fixing in with earth and concrete the
cavities between the street and the top
Of the tunnels.
From B street south to C street north.
along First street, the earth Is caving
in. The company at the time tried to
force the District Commissioners to al
low its engineers to use the open cut
method, instead of driving the tunnels
through. The engineers OF. the company
stated at the time that the soft earth
would continually give trouble, and that
the timbers driven from the tops OF the
tunnels before these were lined with
concrete and stone, in after years would
rot. This has occurred, and the com
many is being required by the local gov
ernment to care for the sinking street.
No protests have been made by the
railroad company, because the latter
agreed to keep the street in repair be-
fore the necessary permit for burrow-
ing under the city would be given. The
tunnels are used by all trains to and
from the South, cost more than 100000
to build, and have been in use more
than three wears
