| FROM MISERY TO HEALTH. A Prominent Club Woman, of Kansas City, Writes to Thank Doan’s Kid- ; ney Pills for a Quick Cure Miss Nellie Davis, of 1216 Michigan Avenue, Kansas City, Mo., society leader and club woman, writes: “I cannot. say too much in praise of Doan’s Kidney Pills, for they effected a com- plete cure in a very short time when I was suffering from kidney troubles brought on by a cold. I had severe pains in the back and, sick headaches, and felt miserable all over. A few boxes of Doan’s Kidney Pills made me a well woman, without an ache or pain, and I feel compelled to recommend this reliable remedy.” (Signed) Nellie Davis.

DERANGED NERVES DISTRESSING TROUBLES LEFT BY ST. VITUS AND GRIP. Woman Afflicted for Years by Strange Spells of Numbness and Weakness Recovers Perfect Health, ‘When she was fourteen years old, Mrs, Ida L. Brown had St. Vitus’ dance. She finally got over the most noticeable features of the strange ailment, but was still troubled by very uncomfortable sen- sations, which she recently described as follows : «*One hand, half of my face, and half of my pis ae would get cold and numb. These feelings would come on, last for about ten minutes, and then go away, several times a day. Besides I would have palpitation of the heart, and my strength would get so low that I could hardly breathe. As time went on these spells kept coming oftener and growing worse. The numbness would sometimes extend over half my bady.”’ “‘ How did-you get rid of them?” “Tt seemed for a long time as if I never could get rid’of them. It was not until about six years ago that I found aremedy that had virtue enough in it to reach my case. That was Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, and they have since en- tirely cured me.” “Did it take long to effect a cure?” “No! Ihadn’t taken the whole of the first box before I saw a great improve- ment. SoIkepton using them, growing better all the time,until Thad taken eight boxes and then I was perfectly well, and I have remained in good health ever since with one exception.’’ «What was that?” ¥ “PASSING OF THE SILK HAT. Only Elderly Men Now Use It for Day j Wear. “The silk hat,” said the manager of a fashionable hat store, “has about run its course for day wear. Only elderly men, and comparatively few of them, wear it in the day time. “Fifteen years ago we often sold more silk hats in a day than we now sell in two weeks. Young men wore them both days and evenings. You, could see processions of silk hats on Broadway, and all the downtown streets, “But the silk hat will return. Its passing is merely a whim of fashion. It is the most dressy hat a man can wear, and also the most economical. A good silk hat will stand more wear and tear than three derbys or fedoras. It can be ironed to look like new, no matter what has happened to it. “Most of our customers are well-to- do, but lots of them in the old days wore silk hats for economy’s sake. A few do yet, for that matter, but they are men past middle life.’—New York Sun. ‘ WHOLLY UNOBJECTIONABLE. Only “Jesuses and Venuses” in School Art Gallery. Mrs. Alva Adams, wife of the gov- ernor of Colorado, has been much in- terested in the work of the women’s clubs of that state. She tells of an en- tertainment given by one such club to raise money to buy pictures for a cer- tain school house. The pictures were fine prints, photographs and other high-grade reproductions of classic art. A certain pupil of the school took a ticket home to his father and solicited its purchase, explaining the object. “Pictures?” said the father. “What kind of pictures do they put up?” “Oh, just of Jesuses and Venuses,” said the boy.—New York Press. Quite Prepared. The proprietor of a large office build- ing who had a room for his own use in one of the upper stories was sur- prised one morning by the entrance of aman with a valise. “Don’t you want something, sir,” be- gan the caller, “in the way of a new and improved outfit for marking hand- kerchiefs, under garments and—” “No, I don’t,” interrupted the pro- prietor. “How did you get up here? We don’t allow peddlers or canvassers in this building.” “You don’t?” “That's what I said.” “I saw no sign to that effect.” “Well, you'll see one the next time you come. I shall have one put up.” “In that case,” rejoined the man, opening his valise with alacrity, “you will need one of these.” Here‘he displayed a neatly painted card over a foot long and nearly as wide, with this inscription in large let- ters: “No Peddlers or Canvassers Allowed in This Building’ on Any Pretext Whatever.” In recognition of his caller’s clever- ness, genial humor ond business fore- thought, the owner of the building not only bought the card, but invested in one of the marking outfits. “Oh! that was when I had the grip. I was in bed, under,the doctor’s care, for two weeks. When I got up I had dreadful attacks of dizziness. Ihad to grasp hold of something or I would fall right down. I was just miserable, and when'I saw the doctor was not helping me, I began to take Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills again. In a short time they cured me of that trouble too, andI have never * had any dizzy spells since.’ Mrs. Brown lives at No. 1705 DeWitt street, Mattoon, Illinois. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are without an equal for the rapid and thorough cure of nervons pros- tration. They expel the poison left in the system by such diseases as grip and are the best of tonics in all cases of weak- ness. They are sold by every druggist. Giving the Papers Credit. Senator Money tells a story of the tribute a Mississippi minister recently paid to the press. The town in which his parish was located had been visited within a short space of time by several catas- trophes, all of which, with harrowing details, had been duly exploited in the local papers. The clergyman was moved to make the misfortunes of his townsmen a subject of prayer. He knelt in the presence of his congregation and be- gan fervently: “Oh, Lord, doubtless Thou hast learned through the papers of our recent and grave afflictions.”— New York World. Are You If so, you wiil have more or less of the following SYMPTOMS : Not unfrequently the complexion be- comes pale and sallow, there may be frequent attacks of bilious or sick head- ache, bitter taste in the mouth, tongue | coated white or covered with a brown | fur, unnaturai, dry, harsh, or scaly | condition of the skin, or branny erup- | tions and pimples. There is likely to be ‘‘backache,’’ with tired feelings, Jassitude and a sense of debility. There is depression of spirits with a decided tendency to be discouraged and de- mdent. There is loss or irregularity of appetite, uneasiness in region of the stomach, oppression, sometimes sour stomach, ‘‘heart-burn,’’ nausea and “¢water-brash,” flatulency, and acrid} eructations; the bowels become irregu- | lar, usually constipated, and occasion- ally subject to diarrhea, attended with colicky pains. The foregoing symp- toms are not all present in any one case, nor are any two cases e in very ect. .

Spee coe tw BIG STRIKE ON IN NEW YORK TRAFFIC ON ELEVATED ROACS IS AT A COMPLETE STAND- STILL., MANY INJURED IN ACCIDENT INEXPERIENCED MEN CAUSE.COL- LISION IN WHICH 29 ARE HURT. MAYOR OFFERS TO MEDIATE _ MORE THAN MILLION PEOPLE “ SUFFER GREAT ANNOYANCE AND VEXATION. New York, March 8.—Reports early this morning show that traffic on the Second and Ninth avenue elevated roads was at a complete standstill be- cause of the strike instituted early yesterday against the Interborough Rapid Transit company. In the sub- way and on the Third avenue elevated and on the Sixth avenue elevated trains are running irregularly. There has been little violence up to an early hour this morning. The out- look for tHe day traffic is very bad, ac- cording to all, accounts early this morning. The weather predictions are for snow and rain. The only serious phase of the strike situation last night was the Accident in the Subway at Twenty-third street, in which twen- ty-nine people were injured, fifteen of them seriously. At strike headquarters confidence is expressed on the outcome for the men; at Interborough offices the officials are also confident. Beyond the accident and some minor casualties due to the abnormal crowds, the sum total of the day was annoyance and vexation to a million or more people usually dependent upon the Interborough’s line for transporta- tion to and from their business. So far there has been little disorder. Sporadic encounters between individ- uals, some bad language and the ac- tion of a few hoodlums in Throwing Missiles at passing elevated trains tells this phase of the strike. Service on the el- evated roads and subway, while not tied up, was crippled, and badly crip- pled at that. In fact the elevated sys- tem of the Interborough’s lines was pretty well paralyzed. The company’s entire energy seemed to be directed to an effort to maintain service in the subway, and in this it was partly suc- cessful. Strike Breaker Farley and his crew of seven or eight hundred men were thrown inte the tunnel. Officers of the company gave this system their special attention and an enormous force of policemen was drawn to the tunnels and the stations. Through traffic Was Abandoned Early. Every available man was put on the Jocals and a fairly good schedule was maintained during the evening rush hours until the accident at Twenty- third street took place. This upset things, but after strenuous effort they were straightened out and a service resumed on a headway of from five to seven minutes. The accident at Twenty-third street was in the‘nature of a rear-end col- lision, due, it is said, to the inexperi- ence of the men on the trains. Two cars had their ends smashed in, there was a panic among scores of passen- gers, of the injured fifteen were so se- verely hurt that they had to be sent to the hospitals. Traffic was delayed for over two hours. Mayor Offers to Mediate. Mayor George B. McClellan last night reached the conclusion that transportation conditions had assumed such a serious aspect that it would be necessary to bring the two factions to some speedy agreement. He according- ly addressed a letter to both the Inter- borough and the Amalgamated asso- ciation in which he offered his services “to act as mediator, arbitrator or in any capacity in which I may be instru- mental in effecting an adjustment of the existing differences between the Interborough Rapid Transit company and its employes, so that the complete operation of their railroad may be re- sumed at once.” Confesses Quadruple Murder. Danville, Ark., March 8. — James Ince, ¢onfessing that he is a quadruple murderer, was brought back to jail here last night after a visit to the scene of the crime near Whitely. Con- fronted with the dead bodies of his wife and tiree children, he broke down and confessed. ~ POVERTY. PINCHES PRINCESS. Former Consort of Present King of Saxony Quits Her Villa. Florence, March 8. — The Countess Montignoso, formerly crown princess cf Saxony, has been obliged to give up her villa at Papinavo and has taken rooms in a hotel at Fiesole. The countess states that the change is necessary until her former husband (King Frederick Augustus of Saxony) either voluntarily or by order of the courts pays her the allowance agreed unon at the time of her divorce. __ sembly has adjourned. __ _ CARNEGIE MAY NOT TESTIFY. District Attorney Says He May Not Call-on the Ironmaster. Cleveland, Ohio, March 8. — Nine witnesses were examined in the Chad- wick trial yesterday, and the defense established the fact that the claim of the government that Mrs. Chadwick had no money in the Oberlin bank at the time of drawing checks which were certified by Spear and Beckwith, was incorrect in two instances at least. It was shown by the journal of the bank that on Nov. 4, 1903, when Mrs. Chadwick received a certified check for $10,000, an entry crediting her with that amount was made on the journal of the bank, and a deposit slip for $10,- 000 was made out in her name. The entry and the slip were in the hand- writing of Cashier Spear. Another en- try of similar nature amounting to $5,- 000; was also found. These facts were brought out on cross-examination by Judge Wing, counsel for Mrs. Chad- wick, after long and tedious question- ing of H, H. Avery, assistant cashier of the Oberlin bank. It is doubtful if Andrew Carnegie will take the stand. District Attorney Sullivan said yesterday afternoon: “It is not my present intention to put Mr. Carnegie on the stand, and I do not think he will be called upon to ‘testify unless his evidence should be needed in rebuttal of something intro- duced by the defense.” FORGETS NAME OF BRIDE. Applicant for License Finally Recalls She Is a Widow. Baltimore, March 8.—An applicant for a marriage license who could not recall the name of the woman he de- sired to marry was the novel situation in the clerk’s office at the court of common pleas yesterday. The more deeply the man cogitated, the more he became confused. He said he had been acquainted with his fiance for four years, but he could not remember her name. After a pause he was sure she was a widow; ‘then he remem- bered her first name, and finally, with a confident smile, he recalled her iast name. The blanks in the license were then speedily filled and he went away happy. EMBASSY FOR VANDERBILT. Cornelius Said to Be Slated for Post at Berlin. Washington, March 8.—It was stated yesterday upon the best of authority that among those who will get impor- tant foreign posts under the Roosevelt administration is Cornelius Vander- bilt, who is believed to be slated to be the next ambassador to Germany. It is known that Mr. Vanderbilt has cov- eted the office at Paris or Berlin and has been bending efforts toward eith- er. Mrs. Vanderbilt's ambition is to go to Berlin, and this is considered the ideal place for her—a woman of unusual tact, diplomacy and brilliancy. CRISIS IN NORWAY. Norwegian Storthing Decides to Estab- lish Independent Consulate. Christiania, March 8.—The commit- tee of the storthing, by a vote of 16 to 3, decided yesterday to establish an in- dependent Norwegian consular service not later than April 1, 1906. This prac- tically is the expression of Norway’s determination to enforce her views without waiting for Sweden’s assent. The regent’s sanction is necessary to make the committee’s actiun effective, and his action is eagerly awaited. If he does not assent there will be trouble in Norway. If he does, similar conditions will prevail in Sweden, The position is delicate, if not critical. FORTY HURT IN A WRECK. Car on the Chicago Elevated Railway Overturns High in the Air. Chicago, March 8.—Overturning high in the air, on the Lake street elevated railroad yesterday, a passenger coach with eighty persons aboard escaped being dashed to the granite pavement below. One woman was pinioned on the tracks within a few inches of the deadly electric third rail, and though finally extricated alive, is fatally in- jured. Forty other passengers were injured, but not seriously. The upset was caused by the car missing a switch. Hanged With His Suspenders. Fargo, N. D., March 8.—The remains of a man, supposed to be C. L. Chris- tianson, a collector for a Fargo ma- chinery firm, were found hanging to a crossing sign on the Great Northern near Sabin. He had used his sus- penders with which to commit suicide. He had some notes in his pockets and a paper showing he had filed on a claim at the Bismarck land office. Campbell Has Fire Loss. Campbell, Minn., March 8. — Fire broke out in the rear of Green’s saloon and before it was under control several of the largest buildings were in ruins, and the loss is estimated at close to $20,000. A. M, Palmer Is Dead. New York, March 8.—A. M. Palmer, the theatrical manager, who was stricken Monday with apoplexy, died yesterday in a hospital. Mr. Palmer was for years the most prominent theatrical manager in America. pr Dei acs ENE Left to the Governor. Raleigh, N.

Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is Espe- cially Successful in Curing This Fatal Of all the diseases known, with which women are afflicted, kidney dis- ease is the'most fatal. In fact, unless early and correct treatment'is applied, the weary patient seldom survives. Being fully aware of this, Mrs. Pink- ham, early in her career, gave exhaust- ive study to the subject, and in pro- ducing her great remedy for woman’s ills— Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound—was careful to see that it contained the correct combination of herbs which was sure to control that fatal disease, woman's kidney troubles. The Vegetable Compound acts in har- mony with the laws that govern the entire female system, and while there are many so called remedies for kidney troubles, Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege- table Compound is the only one espe- cially prepared for women, and thou- sands have been cured ofserious kidney , derangements by it.. Derangements of the feminine organs quickly affect the kidneys, and when a woman has such symptoms as pain or weight in the loins, backache, bearing down pains, urine too frequent, scanty or high col- ored, producing scalding or burning, or deposits like brick dust in it; un- usual thirst, swelling of hands and feet, swelling under the eyes or sharp pains in the back running down the inside of her groin, she may be sure her kid- neys are affected and should lose no time in combating the disease with Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- pound, the woman's remedy for wo- man’s ills. The following letters show how marvelously successful it is. Mrs. Samuel Frake, Plains, N. J., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— I cannot thank you enough for what Lydia E. Pinkham’s Wegetenie Compound has done forme. When I first wrote to you I had suf- fered for years with what the doctor called kidney trouble and con, ion of the woreb. My back ached dreadfully all the time, and I suffered so with that bearing-down feeling I could hardly walk across the reom. I did not get any better, so decided to stop doctoring with my physician and take Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound and I am thank- ful to say it has entirely cured me. I do all my, own work, have no more backache and all the bad symptoms have disappeared. I cannot praise your medicine enough, and would advise all women suffering with kidney trouble to try it. Mrs. J. W. Lang, of 626 Third Ave- nue, New York, writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— I have been a great sufferer with kidne: trouble. My back ached all the time and was discouraged. I heard that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound would cnre kidney disease, and I began to take it; and it has cured me when everything else had failed. 1 have recommended it to lots of people and they all praise it very highly. Mrs. Pinkham’s Standing In- vitation. Women suffering from kidney trouble, or any form of female weak- ness are invited to promptly communi- cate with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. Out of the great volume of ex- perience which she has to draw from, it is more than likely she has the very knowledge that will help your case.
