———— | } A Millionaire To-day. Yasujiro Ishikawa, a Japanese jour- nalist, described in New York a Ger- man capitalist of Yokohama. “It is no wonder,” he said, “that this man is a millionaire. His fertility of invention is remarkable, and this fer- tility is never cramped by principles or by strait-laced notions of morality. “They say of this man,” said Mr. ishikowa, “that he reached Johannes- burg in his youth quite destitute, save for a needle and a can of condensed milk. “Immediately on his arrival he an- nounced that the smallpox was ap- proaching and that he was a surgeon, and with his only two possessions he vaccin d all the good Johannesburg- t $5 a head.” The Limit, ll,” snorted the old editor, throw- down the paper he was reading, se blooming correspondence schools ought to be suppressed; they’re trouble breeders.” Why, what's the matter now?” ask- ed his a one of them that offers e to write poetry.” PATENTS.

HOSPITALS CROWDED | MAJORITY OF PATIENTS WOMEN Mrs. Pinkham’s Advice Saves Many From this Sad and Costly Experience. It is a sad but certain fact that numberofopera- tions performed upon women in our hospitals, Morethan three- fourths of the patients lying those snow- white beds are women and girls who are awaiting or recovering from operar tions made necessary by neglect. , Every one of these patients had | plenty of warning in that bearingdown feeling, pain at the left or right of the abdomen, nervous exhaustion, pain in the small of the back, pelvic catarrh, ' dizziness, flatulency, displacements or irregularities. Allof these symptoms are indications of an unhealthy con- dition of the female organs, and if not heeded the trouble may make headway until the penalty has to be paid bya dangerous operation, and a lifetime of impaired usefulness at best, while in many cases the results are fatal. ‘Miss Luella Adams, of Seattle, Wash., ‘writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham :— “About two years ago Twas a suf- ferer from a severe female trouble, pains and hheadaches. The doctor prescribed for me and finally told me that I had a tumor and must undergo an operation if I wanted to get well. T felt that this was my death warrant, but I spent hundreds of dollars for medical help, but the tumor sept growing. Fortunately I col nded w:th an aunt intheNewEngland States, and she advised me to take Lydia E Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, as it was said to curetumors. I did soandimmediately began to improve in health,and I wasentirely cured, the tumor disappearing entirely, with- out an operation. wish every suffering ‘woman would try this great preparation.” Just as surely as Miss Adams was) cured of the troubles enumerated in her letter, just so surely will Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound cure other women who suffer from fe- male troubles, inflammation, kidney troubles, nervous excitability or ner- vous prostration. Mrs. Pinkham invites all young women who are ill to write her for free advice, She is daughter-in-law of Lydia E.

Pope Piux X. has, among other inno- vations, introduced the custom of hold- ing athletic gatherings at the Vatican. All the Roman Catholic gymnastico so- cieties in Italy were recently invited to give their exercises in his palace, and a great carnival of athletics was held in the Vatican gardens. Wrong Remedy. Barney Oldfield was talking about a motor car of enormous horsepower, its breakdown, and the effort that had been made to resuscitate it. “The car was doomed from _ the start,” he said. “They adopted the wrong remedy in its case. Their rem- edy was aS wrong as was a Jackson-} ville waiter’s in my case. “In Jacksonville, one day, I entered a restaurant and ordered a_ steak. When the steak came on it was so tough that I could hardly cut the gravy. I said to the waiter: “Waiter, this steak is awfully hard to cut.’ “The waiter hurried to me with a so- licitous air. “«Then, sir,’ he said, ‘I'll bring you another knife, sir.’” GRAND TO LIVE. And the Last Laugh Is Always the Best. “Six months ago I would have laughed at the idea that there could be anything better for a table bever- age than coffee,” writes an Ohio wom- an—‘“now I laugh to know there is.” “Since childhood I drank coffee as | freely as any other member of the | family. The result was a puny, sick- ly girl, and as I grew into womanhood I did not gain in health, but was af- flicted with heart trouble, a weak and disordered stomach, wrecked nerves and a general breaking down, till last winter, at the age of 38 I seemed to be on the verge of consumption. My friends greeted me with ‘How bad you look! What a terrible color!’ and this was not very comforting. “The doctors and patent medicines did me absolutely no good. I was thoroughly discouraged. “Then I gave up coffee and com- menced Postum Food Coffee. At first I didn’t like it, but after a few trials and following the directions exactly, it was grand. It was refreshing and satisfying. In a couple of weeks I noticed a great change. I became stronger, my brain grew clearer, I was not troubled with forgetfulness as in coffee times, my power of endurance was more than doubled. trouble and indigestion disappeared and my nerves became steady and strong. “I began to take an interest in things about me. Housework and home-making became a pleasure. My —Ww. J. Wenz, St. Paul. YSend 4c for Postage, and mention this paper. Gold Coin StockFood Co, 104E.SthSt.St.Paul,Mina.

The heart | | | Wecnesday. | Washington, March 15.—The rail- Toad rate bill reached the controver- sial stage in the senate yesterday. The question came up in the regular order of business shortly before 2 o'clock and held the floor until the doors were closed for a brief executive session, a few minutes after 5 o'clock. Mr. Rayner was the chief speaker and the debate that took place was provoked by some of his utterances. Among the senators who were aroused by him were Messrs. Foraker, Lodge , and Dolliver. The argument of Mr. Rayner was di- rected in favor of the general proposi- tion that congress has the right to fix rates, but that the bill should be so amended as to dispense with the sus- pension provision. He also advo- cated other amendments. The second day of general debate on the legislative bill developed dis- cussion of the retirement of aged clerks, interspersed with a speech on statehood by Mr. Babcock of Wiscon- sin, one on the restriction of immigra- tion by Mr. Gardner of Massachusetts. Thursday. | Washington, March 16.—The senate yesterday continued consideration of the railroad rate question by listening to the reading of the report on the house bill by Mr. Tillman, and to a speech on that measure by Mr. Nel- son. Mr. Tillman's report was read at the j; request of Mr. Aldrich, who said that he was curious to hear the opinion of the South Carolina senator. Brief attention was given to the | message of the president transmitting |the letter of the secretary of war rela | tive to the recent Moro battle. Mr. | Bacon spoke of the killing of the Moros as “slaughter” and Mr. Lodge deprecated criticism until the facts should be known. A large number of private pension ‘pills and some other semi-private bills were passed. The killing of women and children at Mount Dajo by the American forces under Gen. Leonard Wood was severe- ly denounced in the house yesterday by Representative Jones of Virginia. Friday. Washington, March 17.—Momentar- ily in the day there was a lapse in the | Vigilance of those who would prevent | legislation taking away the rank of lieutenant general in the army, and the chances of Generals Corbin and MacArthur for promotion. Mr. Prince of Illinois, whose bill abolishing the grade is the regular order of business, slipped into the legislative breach. There was an immediate call to arms and for three hours the friends of the generals filibustered against the bill. The net result was that the previous question was ordered on it and an amendment offered by Mr. Grosvenor, which extends the time of the opera- tion of the bill so as to allow the pro- motion of the two officers, is pending. On this amendment the house was voting, but without a quorum, when adjournment was had until Monday, when the vote will be completed. Monday. Washington, March 20.—The house yesterday reached a compromise on |the bill for abolishing the grade of lieutenant general in the army, by providing that it shall not become ef- fective until Oct. 12 next, in order | that Generals Corbin and MacArthur may be promoted before their retire- ment. An important bill, declared to be the first step toward a reorganization of the consular service, was passed. During the completion of the gen- eral debate on the legislative bill Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio came to the de- | fense of the army in the Mount Dajo battle and was replied to briefly by Mr. Williams, the minority leader, who asserted that all criticism was based on the official reports so far re- ceived. z The retirement of aged clerks re- | ceived attention of the house for more than an hour, during which the de- bate was general. There were three speeches on the railroad rate bill in the senate yester- day, Messrs. McCreary, Bailey and Heyburn being the orators. WOMAN PERISHES IN FIRE. | Five Others Were Overcome by Smoke and Were Rescued by Firemen. Kansas City, March 20.—Miss Ag- | nes Inman, a corsetmaker, was burned j;to death and five other women were overcome by smoke in a fire in the annex of the Altman building last night. Most of the tenants of the | building are professional women and many of them sleep in their offices. Miss Inman was sleeping on the | fourth floor and she was dead when ; the firemen found her. The other | women were taken down stairs on ladders by the firemen. St. Louis Shoeman Arrested. St. Louis, March 16.—John H. Ten- jnant, Sr., president of the defunct | Tennant Shoe company, was arrested | yesterday on a bench warrant charg- jing him with obtaining money under false pretenses. Duran to Paint Pope.

COULD NOT KEEP UP. Broken Down, Like Many Another Woman, with Exhausting Kidney Troubles. Mrs. A. Taylor, of Wharton, N. J., gays: “I had kidney trouble in its most painful and severe form, and the torture I went through now seems to have been almost un- bearable. I had back- aches, pains in the side and loins, dizzy spells and hot, fever- ish headaches. There s were bearing-down pains, and the kidney § secretions passed too frequently and with a burning sensation. They showed sed- iment. I became discouraged, weak, languid and depressed, so sick and weak that I could not keep up. As doctors did not cure me I decided to try Doan’s Kidney Pills, and with such success that my troubles were all gone after using eight boxes, and my strength, ambition and general health is fine.” Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box.

He was a young and smart-looking Scots clergyman, and was to preach a “trial” sermon in a strange church. Fearing that his hair might be dis- arranged or that he might have a smudge on his face, he quietly and sig- nificantly said to the beadle, there be- ing no mirror in the vestry: “John, could you get me a glass?” John disappeared, and after a few minutes returned with something un- der his coat, which, to the astonish- ment of the divine, he produced in the form of a bottle with a gill of whisky in it, saying: “Ye mauna let on aboot it, meenis- | ter, for I got it as a special favor, and I wadna hae got it ava if I hadna told them it was for you.” River of Ink. In Algeria there is a curious freak of nature, a river of genuine ink, caus- ed by the joining of two streams, one of which comes from an iron range, while the second stream flows from a peat swamp. On meeting, the acid of one stream blends with the iron solu- tion of the other, with the result that ink is formed. SS NO REST NIGHT OR DAY. With Irritating Skin Humor—Hair Be- gan to Fall Out—Wonderful Re-_ sult from Cuticura Remedies. “About the latter part of July my whole body began to itch. I did not take much notice of it at first, but it began to get worse all the time, and then I began to get uneasy and tried | | all kinds of baths and other remedies | that were recommended for skin hum- ors; but I became worse all the time. ; My hair began to fall out and my scalp itched all the time. Especially at night, just as soon as I would get | in bed and get warm, my whole body would begin to itch and my finger nails would keep it irritated, and it was not long before I could not rest night or day. A friend asked me to try the Cuticura Remedies, and I | did, and the first application helped me wonderfully. For about four} | weeks I would take a hot bath every night and then apply the Cuticura Ointment to my whole body; and I | kept getting better, and by the time | I used four boxes of Cuticura I was | entirely cured, and my hair stopped fallling out.
