THE OMAHA DAILY HF.E: FRIDAY. DECEMBER 2. 1004.
Miss Agnes Miller,' of Chicago, speaks
to young women about dangers of the
Menstrual Period how to avoid pain and
suffering and remove the cause by using
Lydia EL Plnkham's Vegetable Compound.
"To Yotrwo Womes: I suffered for six years with dysmenor
rtea (painful periods), so much so that I dreaded every month, as I
knew it meant three or four days of intense pain. The doctor said
this was due to an inflamed condition of the uterine appendages caused
by repeated and neglected colds.
"If young girls only realized how dangerous it is to take cold at
this critical time, much suffering would lie spared them. Thank God
for Lydla E. Plnkham's Vegetable Compound, that was the only
medicine which helped me any. Within three weeks after I started to
take it, I noticed a marked improvement in my general health, and at
the time of my next monthly period the pain had diminiat&u Consider
ably. I kept up the treatment, and was cured a month later. I am like
another person since. I am in perfect health, my eyes are brighter, I have
added la pounds to my weight, my color is good, and I feel light and
happy." Miss Agxes Miller, 25 Potomac Ave., Chicago, CI.
The monthly sickness reflects the condition of a woman's
health. Anything unusual at that time should have prompt
and proper attention. Fifty thousand letters from women prore
that Lydla E. Plnkham's Vegetable Compound regulates men
f truatlon and makes those periods painless.

Mr. I31akeraore was tried on five charges
and tan specifications. The charges were
falsifying, gross- obscenity, profane lan
guage, impropea advances toward-certain
women and solicitation of a local physician
fur malpractice. On all the charges und
all but three of the specifications It la un
derstood the minister was found guilty,
but what the specifications were hue not

While there is naturally some sympathy
fur "the man who is. down" the verdict Is
a popular one in Tecumseh. The guilt of
the man was generally believed in and the

for the prosecution was summed up by
J. W. Scott of Nebraska City.
Business practically was suspended here
this afternoon to await the verdict, so
great was local interest in the affair.
Statement bji Blakemore.
For the -first time Rov. Mr. Blakemore
yesterday decided to make a statement. To
the correspondent of The Bee he said:
"I am Innocent of the charges and there
was no specifications In the charges testi
fied to by but one witness in which there
was any truth. According to the laws of
the church . one specification cannot be
mads to sustain another. Each specification
should have additional and co-operative
evidence. In my opinion there is no such
evidence in my case. If I were to s'peak
my real feelings I would say it was a con
spiracy on the part of my enemies to de
fame my character and to satisfy old
grudges. The witnesses were very bitter
and my defense was very weak In that we
were unable, according to the laws of the
church, to prove the insincerity and bad
character of members of the church who
testified in tha case and whose testimony
cannot be Impeached because of the con
stitution of the church. Rev, J. H. Pres-
son and Rev. C. M. Shepperd made able
speeches In my defense and made a fair
presentation of the case from their stand
point. I have nb plans for the future and
will trust the providence of Iliin who
watches over and loves His own. I have no
prejudice against the church or its mem
bers and believe myself to he the victim of
I circumstances snd prejudices over which I
nua no control.

The State to Take Hand.
Governor Mickey and Attorney General
Prout had a conference this morning re
garding the suit brought by the Union
Pacific and Burlington railroads to enjoin
the collection of their taxes. The matter
will be looked after by the state's legal
department and a red-hot fight in support
of the revenue law will be made. It Is the
belief of the members of the board that
the fight of the railroad will not be suc
cessful. Riga- Does Well.
Thts has been a most prosperous year for
one Charley Rlgg, late manager of the re
publican state committee speakers' bureau,
according to the salary he received as as
sistant secretary to the State Board of
Equalisations According to the report filed
with Governor Mickey by Secretary George
D. Bennett, out of a total expense, not
counting" the salary of the secretary, of
$578.77, Mr. Rlgg received $225. This sum
was divided as follows: Salary, June 4, $50;
June 18, $50 and July 11, $126. Land Com
missioner Follmer received for abstracts,
July 11, $50.40 and on July 29 he received
$43.80 more. The remainder went for a
typewriter, assistants and postage. There
was appropriated $1,000. The report cov
ered the lust year. Admt Dobson also filed
bis report of expenses for the laxt six
months, showing that he had spent from
July to December $1,208, leaving a balance
on hand of $429.17.
None- of the state institutions has as
yet sent in its report snd it will be sev.
era! days probably before they are filed,
as the superintendents will not get busy
until today or the close of business last
night.
Legislature Will Do Buying.
Legislators coining to Lincoln the first
of the year will not And things in the
same condition they did two years ago,
all ready for the start. This because the
last legislature authorised the secretary of
state to spend not more than $1,000 In get
ting ready for the session, the remainder
of the purchasing to be done by the leg
islators themselv.es. Thts $1,000 will not go
very far. The bill files for the house and
senate will cost between $600 and $810 and
these have to be ordered in advance of
the session because they have to be manu
factured and cannot be bought on short
notice. The dockets for the records also
will have to be ordered, as they have to
be manufactured. This will take most if
not all of the $1.0u0 and there will be noth
ing luft with which to pay for labor In
fixing up, the two chambers. A consider
able quantity of Inkwells, pencils, etc.,
were left over from the last session, but
not near enough to go around, so many of
the desks will be barren when they are
taken possession of by the legislators. -
The kglBlalors, contrary to the usual
custom, will have to draw lots for seals
instead of first come first served. Th
ohject of this Is to prevent those legislators
living near the Capital City coming In
early and getting the pick of seats, to
the dlsadvsntsge of the memheia who
will not come to Lincoln until the session
convenes. This new rule, however, will
not work the hsrdshlp that some of the
legislators seem to think, for the re i son
thst the members, of the several delega
tlons will be kept together snd the draw
Ing will merely determine the location of
the several districts.
. mate Is Paramoant.
Boone county has been refused permlwlon
to open up a road through school lands be
longing to the state and In Judge Hanna's
court In Boone county it has been settled
that It Is illegal for a school district to
open a road on school land. The case was
brought by the county of Boone to run a
road diagonally across school land near
Albion. Deputy Attorney General Norris
Brown filed a demurrer to the petition and
yesterday afternoon the demurrer was sus
tained. It is not thought likely that the
county will appeal the case. This Is the
first decision so far handed down on this
question and It Is considered an Important
one.
Million In Bonds Registered.
During the last two years there has been
registered In tha office of the auditor bonds
to the amount of $1,115,159. These repre.
sent municipal, village, county, school dts.
trlcts, and other kinds of bonds, though
one-half of the total amount were school
district bonds.
Joy for the Candidates.
There Is Joy probably among the many
aspirants for the position of speaker of the
next house of representatives and if there
is not this notice to them should create
Joy. H. C. M. Burgess, chairman of the
republican state committee, is not a can'
dldate for sneaker. The handsome chair
man allowed himself to be quoted thusly
today. It has never been considered seri
ously here that Burgess was a candidate
for any place, though It was generally un
derstood that he Is In a very receptive mood
at all times. It Is not generally believed
here, though, thst his refusal to take the
place will materially affect the race of the
others, and there has not been any move
among the other candidates to secure his
strength.
Marsh Is Getting: Encouragement.
Unless things take a turn Secretary of
State Marsh will go Into the next congres
sional convention held in tills district with
considerable strength as a candidate to
succeed Congressman Burkett should he go
to the senate. G. J. Crook, postmaster ol
Falls City, and T. J. Whlttaker of the same
place were here this morning and called on
Secretary Marsh with a request that he get
Into the running in a formal way and give
them a chance to do things. With these
two men came the report that Paul Jessen
would not be a candidate, and neither would
Frank Keavls. According to the Falls City
visitors this would mean that Marsh would
have no trouble In getting the delegations
from Richardson and Otoe counties.
Johnson Lands In Old Place.
Dr. A. Johnson, superintendent of tha
Home for the Feeble Minded at Beatrice,
has knocked the plum In his case and will
be reappointed to his present place. Gov
ernor Mickey made an investigation of the
home yesterday and the reappointment Is
the result.
Bondsmen Want Compromise.
W. A. Paxton wants the state to compro
mise In Its suit against the Bartloy bonds
men and yesterday he consulted with the
members of the compromise board, but
with what result remains to be seen. Mr.
Paxton's offer to compromise is taken to
mean that he Is fearful that the coming
opinion of the supreme court will not be of
the same nature as the other four opinions
have been. Governor Mickey said Mr. Pax
ton hod consulted with him 4n regard to a
compromise, but that ho definite arrange
ment was discussed.
Gould Wants Freedom.
A number of Central $lty, men were here
today to secure a parole for Rev. Gould,
who ran away with a 15-year-old girl. Ar
guments were presented to the governor,
but the general belief is that Mr. Gould
will not be released until his time is out.
WEST POl.NT PEOPLE CELEBRATE
Opening of New Depot Vp Town is
the Occaalon.
WEST POINT, Neb., Dec. 1. (Special. )
The opening of the new passenger station
of the Northwestern line In this city this
morning was the scene of the most success
ful municipal celebration ever held in this
place. An hour before the arrival of the
10:55 Bonesteel passenger train about 400 of
the representative citizens and their wives
gathered at the depot and were enter
tained with music by the West Point cornet
band. A bevy of twelve of the prettiest
girls of West Point was delegated the duty
of distributing souvenirs of the occasion In
the shape of a silver key of the city bear
ing Mayor Bonnenschein's message of con
gratulation. About 1.000 of these souvenirs
were distributed. On the arrival of the
train the passengers took part in the
demonstration with great glee and citizens,
trainmen and passengers mingled in a
genuine old-fashioned social time. - The
mayor and council, with a speech by Mayor
Sonnenscheln, presented the engineer and
the conductor of the train with bottles of
champagne in the name of the city, and
boxes of cigars were also presented to the
trainmen. The reception committee, was
under the direction of Hon. E K. Valen
tine, who officiated as chairman. The
committee of young women boarded the
train and rode aa the guests of the com
pany to Beemer and Wlsner, from whence
they returned on the Black Hills passenger.
On the arrival of the 2 p. m. Deadwood
train the same program was repeated, with
a much larger attendance than In the
morning. Tho engineer and conductor of
this train were also remembered by the
mayor In the same manner ns their
brethren of the Bonesteel division. Both
trains pulled out amid cheers and the wav
ing of handkerchiefs and great enthusiasm.
MESSENGER FIGHTS WITH ROBBERS
Succeeds In Driving Them Off With
out Any Booty.
NORFOLK, Neb.. Dec. 1. (Special-) A
battle with robbers, in which a number of
shots were exchanged, took place during
the night at the American express office
on Norfolk avenue. Messenger F. P. Val
entine, who was sleeping In the building
at the time, heard the shuffling of feet and
the murmuring of the burglars. Raising
on his pillow he reached for a gun and
opened fire in the direction of the burglars.
Firing back, the robbers dived through a
window through which t,hey had gained m
entrance. They carried away all the valu
able packages that two men could well
carry .as they leaped out of the building:
but they dropped the parcels, either from
fright or enforced to do so by their wounds,
in the rear alley.
Every missing article was recovered.
There is no clew to the robbers. Officer
Pilger took a couple of shots at suspicious
looking characters who fled down the
street.
