i i] CHANGE OF LIFE. Some Sensible Advice to Wo men by Mrs. E. Sailer, “Dean Mrs.‘ Prsxuau:—When I passed through what is known as change of life,’ I had two years’ suf- fering, —sudden heat, and as quick chills would pass over me ; my appetite was variable and I never could tell for MRS. E. SAILER, President German Relief Association, Los Angeles, Cal. a day at a time how I would feel the next day. Five bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound changed all that, my days became days of health, and I have enjoyed every day since—now six years. “* We have used considerable of your Vegetable Compound in our charitable work, as we find that to restore a poor mother to health so she can support her- self and those dependent upon her, if such there be, is truer charity than to give other aid.

Medical men say that a good nurse in a difficult case is better than med- icine, but when we can get a good nurse and good medicine, the patient stands a much better chance of re- covery. The few words of advice given below by nurse Eliza King, are well worthy the attention of all readers “I have constantly used St. Jacobs Oil in the various situations I have occupied as nurse, and have invariably found it excellent in all cases requiring outward application, such as sprains, bruises, rheumatic affections, neuralgia, etc. In cases of pleurisy it is an excellent remedy—well rubbed in. I can strongly recommend it after several years’ use and experience. It should be in every honsehold.” 3 Sister CAROLINA, St. Andrew’s Hospital, writes: “I have found St. Jacobs Oil a most efficacious remedy in gout ; alsoin sprains and bruises. Indeed, we cannot say too much in its praise, and our doctor is ordering it constantly.” The Great Skin Remedy will stop the pain of burns and scalds at once and there will de no scar.

Washirgton, March 20. — During the entire session of the senate yesterday the bill providing for the protection of the president of the United States was under consideration. Mr. Spooner of Wisconsin contended that the gevern- ment had.an absolute an inherent right to protect itself against assaults made either upon itself or upon any of its of- ficers. He maintained that an assault on the president was in the very nature of things an assault on the government, for there never was a time when the president was not in the exercise of the duties of his office. Mr. Hoar, in charge of the measure, elucidated some arguments he had made previously and Mr. Teller of Col- orado and Mr. Bailey of Texas spoke briefly: upon the bill. The Texas sena- tor said he could not support the meas- ure as it stands because he could con- ceive of an jault made upon the pres- ident as a person and not as an offi of the government. An assailant in that event ought to be punished precisely as if he had assaulted any other citizen. In the House. The house yesterday made fair prog- ress with the river and harbor bill. After the close of general debate of the 116 pages of the bill were disposed of. No amendments were adopted, The general debate w featureless. In the Senate. Washington, March 21.—Throughout yesterday's session of the senate the bill providing for the protection of the p ident of the United States was un- de: discussion. Just before adjourn- ment an agreement was reached to vote on the measure and pending amend- ments at 4 o'clock to-day. The speeches in the main were a reinforcement of guments that have been advanced her tofore, few new points being raised. The principal point nade by the opponents of the measure was that federal offi- cials cught to be treated in_the courts precisely as are other citizens. Three substitutes for the bill are pending and will be pressed when the voting begins to-day. In the House. The house yesterday made very slow progress on the river and harbor bill, disposing of only thirty pages and leav- ing fifty pages still to be considered. The rv succeeded in ment offered. er and harbor committee again every amend- defeating Washington, Merch 2 tion was begun »y the senate yesterday of what is popularly known as the ole- omargarine bill, The measure places a tax of 10 cents a pound on oleomar- garine colored in imitation of butter and reduces the present tax of 2 cents per pound on oleomargarine to 1-4 of 1 cent per pound in its uncolored form. Mr. Proctor of Vermont, chairman of the committee on agriculture. made the opening statement in support of the eoacluded with the ob- servation that the pending bill was “‘a measure to protect an honest product nst fraud.” Boreing of Kentuc injected an attack on the Goebel election law into the discussion of the oss-Rhea con- tested election ‘om the Thi Kentucky district which again occu- pied the attention of the use yester- da but Mr. Rhea declined to be drawn inte an extended debate on =n issue not directly involved in the case. He contented himself with paying his respects to Mr. Boreing, charging the latter with ignorance of the law of his own state. Mr, Rhea made a4 strong presentation of his side of the case, but had not concluded when the house adjourned. In the House. Washington, March 26. — The house yesterday, by a majority of 10, unseated Mr. Rhea of Kentucky, a Democra and scated in nis place J. McKenziz Moss, who was formerly Demacrat, but who, accoriing to his brief, is in with the Republican party on the dominant issu The Republican majority in the house is 43. While only ‘two Republicans, Hanbury and Vre2- lana of New York, voted with the Dem- ocrats, enough Republicans remained away or declined to vote to reduce the majority to 10. The conclusion of the debate on the ease was rather spirited, Mr. Rhea making an eloquent defense of his right to the seat. After the vote the house began consideration of th? army appropriation bill with the under- stancing that general debate should continue fer ten hours. Im the Senate. weop ck on the periding oleo- nrine bill was made in the senate yesterday by Mr. Money of Mississippi. He denounced the measure as uncons' tutional, immoral, dishonest and unjust. He said it was a proposition to tax out of existence one industry for the benefit of arother and was “protection gone mad.” Mr. Hansbrough of North Da- kota began an argument in support of the measure, but yielded the fleor until to-day. accord A VICTIMS OF A STORM.

March 27. — A great storm of wind swept through the neigh- borhood of Bayou Queene de Tortue, twelve miles south of here in Vermillion parish, Monday night, and reports are coming in of great damage dong. So far as known three men were killed. It is believed there were several other fa- talities. Many residences and other buildings were totally demolished, and the prorerty loss will be heavy. ROBBERS’ FIENDISH DEED. Saturate Their Victim's Body With Oil and Set Fire to It. Oklahoma City, Okla., March 27.—At Keokuk Falls, Pottawattamie county, two men’ shot and killed a man named Martin, proprietor of a distillery, at his home, robbed him and then, after sa*- urating his ‘body -with oi}, fired it and escaped. The flames were extinguished before ihe body was badly burned. The men had ordered Martin to throw up his hands. Insteai, he reached for his vevolyer, when they. shot him. WORK FOR PEACE. SigniNeance of Schalkburger’s 1 Revealed by Broderick. London, March 26, — There is good reascn to believe that Lord Kitchener, in bis interview with Mr. Schalkburg- er, agreed to withdraw the banishment preclamation issued in September if Gen, Dewet and the other Boer leaders surrender. There is little disposition in London to regard the news of the Boer govern- ment’s visit to Pretoria any too hope- fully. Official circles express the doubts held throughout of the ability of Act- ing President Schalkburger and the other civilian ‘eaders of the Boers to induce such men as Generals Dewet and Delarey to surrender. Possibly, they think, the representatives of the Transvaal government are desirous of suing for peace, but there is nothing to show that they have any authority to impose submission on the command- ers in the field. Official Announcement. In the house of coramons, the war secretary, Mr. Brodrick, announced that a fortnight ago Mr. Schalkburger intimated to Lord Kitchener his _de- sire to be granted a safe conduct through the. Britist. lines and back, in order te see Mr. Steyn with reference to the possibility of peace proposals. Lord Kitchener, with the consent of the government, has acceded to the re- quest. The announcement of the war secre- tary was received with cheers. »& The St. James Gazette extracts from the unilluminative dispatches thus far received from Pretoria the theory that Mr. o* hi rendered and have been’ released on parole for the purpose of seeing Presi- dent Steyn and Gen, Dewet. Armistice Arranged. The Daily Chronicle asserts that an armistice has been arranged pending the duration of Schalkburger’s mission to Gen. Dewet, and that offensive op- erations against Dewet, Delarey and Botha will be suspended. The three generals have agreed to observe the armistice honorably until the return of the envoys to the Boer lines. It is be- lieved, continues the Chronicle, that the envoys, after acquainting Botha with the result of their mission, will again confer with Lord Kitchener, al- thovgh no arrangement for the second conference nas actually been made. WHAT TO DO FOR CUBA. Holds Conference With Congressmen. Washington, March 26.—A conference was held at the White House yesterday afterncon between the president and seven of the Republican members of the house of representatives who have been foremost in opposing the plan of Cuban reciprocity urged by the ways and means committee and understood to have the s) ort of the administr: tion. The members who called’ were Representatives ‘Tawney and Mor Minresota, Dick of Ohio, Will th of Michigan, Minor of Wisco: in. Metcalf of California and Dayton West Virginia. The call was at the request of the president. who desired an exchange of views to the end that harmonious action might be secured in such ste as are taken in behalf of Cuba. At the conclusion of the confe: ence the general understanding v reached that any statements made to the public would be to the general ef- fect that no conclusions were reached and that the conference was confined to a general interchange 0, views.

President PREACHER COMMITS MURDER. Takes That Way of Settling a Dif- terence Regarding Creed. Ardmore, Ind. T., March 26, — At Cumberland, Ind. T., last night Rev. Ensley Lamar, a Holiness pr: her, shot and killed Calvin Van Winkle, aged twenty-four years, a well-to-do citizen of:Cumberland. At his church before servic2s began Lamar made the statement that no other Christian be- lief than that of the Holiness sect was of any value, and that those who clung to other Christian beliefs than that were sure of hell. William Van Winkle, father of the young man slain, is a strcng Baptist. He became offend- ed at the statement and invited the preacher outside. Rev. Lemar fol- lowed the elder Van Winkle outside. Calvin Van Winkle heard the men quarrelling, came ‘o his father’s rescue and was shot ani villed. Several shots were exchanged between the elder Van Winkle and Lemar without damage. Lemar is under arrest. ‘TAKE STRICT PRECAUTIONS. Authorities at Maniia Are Guarding Against Spread of Cholera. Manila, March 26.—The outbreak of cholera here does not create alarm. No white persons have been stricken with the disease. According to the report of the medical authorities, made at noon yesterday, there have been, all told, twenty-six cases and twenty-one death.
