five Years Suffering Was Cured by Lydia

“ Dear Mrs. Pinkham : — Whatever virtue there is in medicine
seems to be concentrated in Lydia E. Pinkhaiii’s Vegetable
Compound. I suffered for five years with profuse and painful
menstruation until I lost flesh and strength, and lifehadnocharmsforme.
Only three bottles of your Vegetable Compound cured me, I
became regular, without any pains, and hardly know when I am sick.
Some of my friends who have used your Compound for uterine
and ovarian troubles all have the same good word to say for it, and
bless the day they first found it.”—Mrs. Kate Berg.

Regiment that Suffered at Samar.
TEN INFANTRYMEN ARE KILLED
Comrade* Come Just In Time to Prevent
Further Slaughter — One Hundred Na

cape After Attack.
MANILA, Oct. 19.—Five hundred
bolomen attacked a, detachment of for
ty-six men of he Ninth infantry at
Bangajon. on the Gandara river, island
of Samar, today, killing ten and
wounding six. The remainder of the
company arrived on the scene in time
to prevent furtner slaughter and rout
ed the enemy, killing over 100 of
them. It is believed that the enemy
only retired for reinforcements. As
soon as the news was received at Cat
liologan the gunboats were dispatched,
General Smith going in person to the
scene.
The War department officials were
somewhat dismayed at the press report
of the new setback on the island of
Samar.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.—The fol
lowing brief cablegram from General
Chaffee reporting the fight, of the Ninth
infantry in Samar Wednesday was re
ceived at the War department this
afternoon:
MANILA, Oct. 19.—Corbin, Adjutant
General, Washington: Forty-six men,
Company E, Ninth infantry, under
First Lieutenant George W. Wallace,
in field, lower Candara. Samar, was
attacked by 400 bolomen October 16.
Our loss, ten killed, six wounded;
names not received. Elghty-one of the
enemy left dead on the field. Enemy
beaten off.
The Ninth intantry, wnien sunerea
there, was the same organization that
engaged in the latest fight at Banga
jon, though in this case the company
attacked it not known.
An inspection of the dispositions
made of the troops on the island of
Samar shows that before the Balanglga
fight there were no less than thirty
eight separate posts. These were so
disposed that supplies could be con
veyed to the troops by water. Gen
eral Hughes has left Samar and gone
to the island of Cebu to recuperate,
which accounts for the assumption of
the command on Samar by General
Smith. General Hughes was worn out
and suffered from the effects of a se
vere fall received while chasing insur
rectionists In the mountains of Samar.
NATIVE HAWAIIANS DYING OFF
Iu Addition to Decreasing in Numbers
Will Not Work ou Plantations.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.—Henry E.
Cooper, territorial secretary and for
several months prior to his departure
for the United States acting governor
of Hawaii, has discussed with Secre
tary of Agriculture Wilson the con
ditions in the territory. One of the
main aims of Mr. Cooper's trip here is
to acquaint the administration with
the actual situation in Hawaii. In his
conference with Secretary Wilson he
emphasized the seriousness of the labor
problem. The natives are dying off
rapidly, the mortality being in the
neighborhood of forty deaths to the
thousand, and foreign laborers are get
ting out of the country much more
rapidly than they are coming in. The
encouragement of Chinese labor, said
he, is regarded as the most promis
ing solution and the territorial govern
ment is anxious that large numbers
of laborers shall come in from China.
The sugar cane crop that should have
been harvested at the beginning of
July, he said, is not yet off the field
and will not be harvested before next
month. The natives generally will
not work. The coffee industry is lan
guishing and many things that should
be raised there have to be bought out
side the islands.
Secretary Wilson informed Mr. Coop
er of a report from the superintendent
of the agricultural station In Honolulu
showing, among other things, that it
costs $26 an acre to fertilize the cane
crop in Hawaii and pointed out the
big farm wage which has to be paid to
farm laborers, viz.. $40 a month, in
cluding board, which is approximately
$10 more than in this country.

Knox, daughter of a former wealthy
business man of Denver, was declared

Austrian Commerce Suffers.
NEW YORK, Oct. 17.—The Vienna
correspondent of the Times says: The
rapid succession of failures of impor
tant banks in Germany during the
last few months has unfavorably af

RANSOM UNCLAIMED AS YET.
Brigands Hare Scattered, bat Ml»* Stoa*
l! Securely Held.
SOFIA, Oct 16.—Although the time
fixed by the brigands who abducted
Miss Ellen M. Stone, the American
missionary, for the ransom expired a
week ago no one has appeared at Sa
makoff to claim the money or to an
nounce the fate of the captive. It is
now learned that the band bas dis
solved, but that Miss Stone Is kept
under surveillance at some distance
from the frontier. This is due to snow
and cold weather rendering the moun
tains uninhabitable. The efforts of
the police to arrest SaraofT, formerly
president of the Macedonian company,
who is suspected of complicity in the
kidnapping, are still unavailing, the
failure being due to the sympathy of
the inhabitants and the local author
ities.
NEW YORK, Oct. 16.—A dispatch to
the Journal and Advertiser from Ber
lin says that the Vosslche Zeitung’s
Sofia correspondent has wired as fol
lows concerning developments In tha
kidnapping case of Miss Stone: Tha
police at Sofia have arrested certain
suspects, including Paul Genadieff,
brother of the well known barrister
and deputy.
Charles M. Dickinson, United States
consul at Constantinople and diplomat
ic agent to Bulgaria, is quoted in a
Sofia dispatch to the Journal and Ad
vertiser as follows:
“When the Stone party were cap
tured they were compelled to wade a
stream up to the Perin mountain. Miss
Stone and Mme. Tsilka were hurried
up the mountains and the other pris
oners were released next morning. Just
before the Stone party appeared the
brigands captured a Turk and battered
out his brains with the butt ends of
guns to prevent him telling they were
lying in wait. The whole band was
disguised as Turkish soldiers when
they captured the Stone party.”
RUSSIA WOULD AID RESCUE.
Again Offers Its Valuable Assistance In
In Miss Stone's Behalf.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 16.—The
Russian government has repeated its
expression of a desire to assist the
United States government by all prac
tical means in rescuing Miss Stone.
The other powers are equally solicit
ous, but Russia is the best able to
bring the necessary pressure to bear.
Messrs. Baird and Haskell, the mis
sionaries have not ‘yet succeeded in
getting into touch with the brigands
to open negotiations.
LONDON, Oct. 16.—“The United
States government will insist that Tur
key at once make good any deficit in
the ransoms of Miss Stone,” says the
Constantinople correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph, “and also refund the
full amount subscribed.”
It is supposed that the brigands who
captured Miss Stone have withdrawn
into the interior of Macedonia in the
direction of Nevrokop,” says a dis
patch to the Daily Telegraph from
Sofia. “Former members of the Mace
donian committee who were arrested
on suspicion of complicity denied be
fore a magistrate any knowledge of
the affair.”
