Read Her Letter. “ Dear Mrs. Pinkham : — For several years after my last child was born I felt a peculiar weakness, such as I never had experienced before, with severe pains in the ovaries and frequent headaches. “ I tried the doctor’s medicines and found it money worse than wasted. A friend who had been cured through the use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound advised me to try it. I did so, also your Sanative Wash, and I must say I never experienced such relief before. Within six weeks I was like another woman. I felt young and strong and happy once more. “ This is several years ago, but Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is my only medicine.

SOUTH OMAHA. Cattle—Cattle receipts were far from being excessive, and as packers all seemed to have liberal orders the market was lively from start to finish and everything was disposed of in good season. There was very little change from yesterday, however, in the prices paid. A fair pro portion of the offerings consisted of beef steers. There were none too many to meet the requirements of the local trade, so that sellers had no trouble in disposing of what they had at good, steady prices. The more desirable grades, of oourse, were in the best demand, but still even the common kinds moved quite freely at fully as good prices as were paid yester day. Buyers were also anxious for cow stuff, and particularly for the better grades. They were all out early looking for the kinds that are good enough to sell from $4.00 up. and it did not take sellers long to dispose of such kinds. Bulls, veal calves and stags also commanded just about steady prices. Good stuff sold free ly, while common kinds were more or less neglected. There were comparatively few stock cattle in the yards. Good feed ers in particular were very scarce, so that anything showing quality and flesh was picked up in a hurry at good, steady prices, no matter whether the cuttle were heavy or light. Hogs—Receipts of hogs were not heavy, but the market opened a little easier. In extreme cases sales were made that were a nickel lower, but the market soon firmed up and the bulk of the hogs sold at right around steady prices. As the morning advanced trading became more active and toward the close sales were made that were stronger than yesterday. The bulk of the offerings was disposed of In good season, but, as Is generally the case, a few light loads were left until the last, and on such kinds the market was slow. The bulk of the good weight hogs sold from $6.05 to $6.15, medium weights went from $3.95 to $6.05, and the light hogs sold from $5.90 down.

INSURRECTION IS EXPIRING. Acting Governor Wright Thinks End of War is Near. MANILA, March 8.—Acting Gover nor Wright says the province of Mo rong and the entire province of Rizal was never more peaceful than they are now and that the recent occur rences were due to the influence of insurrectionists who had been driven from Laguna and Batangas prov inces. The utterances of Senor Ampil, the former president of the town of Cain tra, Morong, who was recently captur ed by insurgents and subsequently es caped, are classed by Mr. Wright as being unreliable and as merely the re marks of a man half crazed with ter ror. The action of the band which captured Ampil is clearly due to a per sonal vendetta. The constabulary have already dispersed the band and captured many arms and have com pletely broken the power of Monta lon, the old I.adrone chief, who for years was the terror of the province. Mr. Wright feels satisfied, from con versations which he has had with General Bell and others, that the in surrection is expiring. Can't Name the Man. SCRANTON, Pa., March 8.—W. ,T. Bryan, who lectured here, when ask ed whom he considered a democratic presidential possibility, said: “No one can tell in advance w'hat the issue will be or what will be their relative im portance. It ought to be safe to pre dict that democratic principles will be applied to the issues and it ought to be that the platform should be written by those whose fidelity to those princi ples is not subject to suspicion.” President Holds to Reciprocity.

The London Times in '61. The Times, says Prof. Goodwin Smith in the March Atlantic, arfter a little wavering carried its vast power to the side of the south, whose cause It embraced with an intensity, not to say with a fury, surprising in com parison with the sure-footed discretion usually characteristic of its manage ment. To the last it persisted with unabated confidence in assuring its readers of southern victory. When from Grant's lines before Petersburg, Richmond was almost in sight, and it was evident that the next move on the board would be checkmate, the Times continued to give ear to the asseverations of Mr. Spence that the triumph of the south was at hand. The Times really represented only the wealthier and more aristocratic class in England. In America it was taken as representing the whole nation.. Introducing Mr. Seton. Here is a good story about the au thor of "Lives of the Hunted." clipped from an Iowa newspaper: "In one of his recent lectures the leading citizen of the town introduced Ernest Thompson Seton in these words: "It took a Roman to tell the Greeks that they had a Homer, it took a German to tell England that she had a Shakespeare, and now it takes an Englishman to tell us that we have wild animals.’ ” For Her Sluter-* Sake. Stendal, Jnd., Mar. 10th.—Mrs. Sarah A. Shrode of this place says: “I suffered much as many other women do with Kidney and Bladder Troubles. I tried many medicines but got no relief until 1 used Dodd’s Kid ney Pills. "Nine boxes of this remedy cured me completely and 1 feel it my duty to my fellow women to make this statement. "I can heartily recommend them to any woman suffering with Kidney and Bladder Ailments.” The words of Mrs. Shrode will be good news to many of her suffering sisters. Dodd’s Kidney Pills have proven themselves to be sick women's best friend for they are as effectual in all cases of Female Weakness as In Bladder and Kidney Disease.

Of National Reputation Are the Men Who Recommend Pe-ru-na to Fellow Sufferers. A Remarkable Case Reported From the State of New York. CONGRESSMAN HOWARD, OF ALABAMA. nouse of Representatives, I Washington, Feb. 4, 1899. f . The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio: Qentlemen: “/ have taken Peruna now for two weeks, and find I am very much relieved. / teeI that my cure will be permanent.

MOST people think catarrh is a disease confined to the head and nose. Nothing is farther from the truth, it may be that the nose and throat is the oftenest affected by ca tarrh, but i f this is so it is so only because these parts are more exposed to the vicissitudes of the climate than the other parts of the body. Every organ, every duct, every cavity of the human body is liable to catarrh. A multitude of ailments depend on ca tarrh. This is true winter and summer. Catarrh causes many eases of chronic disease, where the victim has not the slightest suspicion that catarrh haB any thing to do with it. The following letter which gives the experience of Mr. A. C. Lockhart is a case in point: Mr. A. C. Lockhart, corner Cottage St. and Thurston Hoad, Rochester, N. Y., in a letter written to Dr. Hartman, says the following of Peruna: “About fifteen year* ago I commenced to be alllag, and consulted a physician. He pro nouncea my trouble a species of dyspepsia mod advised me, after he had treated me about six months, to get a leave of absence from my busi ness and go into the country. / did so and got temporary relief.
