When a cheerful, brave and light-hearted woman is suddenly-
plunged into that perfection of misery, the blues, it is
a sad picture.
It is usually thi3 way :
She has been feeling out of sorts for some time, experi
encing severe headache and backache ; sleeps very poorly
and is exceedingly nervous.
Sometimes she is nearly overcome by faintness, dizzi
ness, and palpitation of the heart ; then that bearing-down
feeling is dreadfully wearing.
Her husband says, "Now, don't get the blues 1 You will
be all right after you have taken the doctor's medicine'
But she does not get all right. She grows worse day by
day, until all at once she realizes that a distressing female
complaint is established.
Her doctor has made a mistake.
She loses faith ; hope vanishes : then comes the morbid,
melancholy, everlasting blues. She should have been told
just what the trouble was, but probably she withheld some
information from the doctor, who, therefore, is unable to
accurately locate her particular illness.
Mrs. Pinkliam has relieved thousands of women from
iust this kind of trouble, and now retains their grateful
letters in her library as proof of the great assistance she has
rendered them. This same assistance awaits every sick
woman in the land.

Mrs. Winifred Allender's Letter.
" Dear Mbs. Ptntiham : I feel it my duty to write
and tell you of the benefit I hare received from your
wonderful remedies. Before taking Lydla E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound, 1 was a misery to my
self and every one around me. I suffered terrible
pain in my back, head, and riht side, was very
nervous, would cry for hours. Menses would appear
sometimes in two weeks, then again not for three
or four months. I was so tired and weak, could not
sleep nights, sharp pains would dart through my
heart that would almost cause me to fall.
'My mother coaxed me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. I had no faith in it, but to
please her I did so. The first bottle helped me so
much that I continued its use. I am now well and
weigh more than I ever did in my life." MBS.

CONGER WILL DEFEND
Asserts He is Prepared to Justify Al
Acts of Pekin Missionaries.
DR. AMENT GIVES EXPLANATIONS
lie Declares that Goods Taken by So-
Called Loot Committee Belonged to
ICef usees In the Legation Tiue In
wtrdness of Situation.
VICTORIA, B. C April 24. In an
Interview with the Kobe Herald, Min
ister Conger, who is on his way to
San Francisco, said:
"There really were no acts on the
part of the missionaries theie that
were not entirely justified when the
circumstances are known. Missionaries
did not loot. Missionaries found 2,000
destitute men and women on their
hands. There was no government,
no organized authority. There were
houses of men who had been firing on
the foreign quarter directing the at
tacking leaders of the Boxers; their
property had been abandoned as a re
sult of the state of war and it was
taken in order to succor hundreds of
suffering and destitute Chinese, whose
lives the original owners had been
laboring to destroy. Winter was com
ing on and measures of some kind
were imperative and the appropriation
of property for the ends in view was
unquestionably justified. That, briefly,
was the situation.
"I am prepared to justify the con
duct of the American missionaries
before the sioge, during the siege aad
after the siege. If you wish to get at
the facts there Is a missionary board
who would probably give you all the
particulars you want."
The missionary was Dr. Anent, who
told the reporter that goods taken by
the so-called loot committee were goods
left In the stores by people who had
sought refuge in the legation during
the siege and were taken to prevent
destruction. The clothes and bedding
were given to men working upon the
barricades and the committee handed
Sir Claude Mac Donald the key of the
room in which all the valuables were
stored. These goods were sold and
the proceeds distributed among the
British soldiers. His mission received
but $75.
Previous to this a sale of garments
and curios was held and $100 netted
was given to the American mission
board. Most of the goods were taken
from buildings that the military au
thorities had ordered burned. Some of
the goods were restored to the owners
and their owners recompensed for their
losses.
Dr. Ament explained the sale of
goods in the Mongol prince's house
where he took up his quarters, by say
ing they were without food and sold
the goods on the advice of Mr. Con
ger. Had they not . taken possession
the place would have been destroyed
by the Russians.
About $4,000 was realized by this
sale, which was dovoted to the needs
of the native Christians.
In conclusion Dr. Ament says: "The
Chinese dammed up the canal and
were going to drown us out. They
supposed the foreigners had subter
ranean burrows in which to take
refuge and were certain that under
ground passages had been made from
the legation to the Fu, so they resolved
to drown us out like rats In a trap."
PL0WMAKERS FORM COMBINE.
Will Eliminate Loni Credits Heretofore
Olven to Dealers.
CHICAGO, April 24. After a con
ference lasting several days the plow
manufacturers of the United States
practically have completed the form
ation of a $30,000,000 combination.
The combination has for one of its
purposes the elimination of long cred
its, which have been given country
merchants. It Is said to have been
the custom to give these creditors as
much as a year's time, and inasmuch
a the manufacturers have not en
joyed such credits in buying their ma
terials they say they have been placed
at a disadvantage. Twenty manufac
turers are represented at the confer
ence. Charles H. Deere of Moline,
one of the moving spirits in the pro
ject, presided.
"The capital stock," said one of the
manufacturers, "is one of the things
yet to be determined, but It is likely
to be about $50,000,000. That about
represents the capitalization of the
twenty or more manufacturers who
have participated In the coference.
The headquarters of the organization
probably will be In Chicago, although
'.his and some other details are yet to
be decided."
Urges Trial for Senator.
NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 24.
The committee appointed yesterday to
review the evidence taken by the two
investigating committees Telative to
the conduct of Senator Eldridge re
ported yesterday. The report says
there is probable cause to believe that
Eldridge accepted a bribe for his vote
on the race for assistant clerk of the
senate, and the committee accord
ingly recommends that Eldridge be
tried in open session of that body.
WILL ASSURE PROTECTION.
Chinese Plenipotentiaries Are Willing to
Give Can rarity.
WASHINGTON. April 24. It It un
derstood here that the Chinese pleni
potentates at Pekin, Hen Ching and
Li Hung Chang, are prepared to give
a guaranty to the powers for the pro
tection of all foreigners in China, if
the foreign troops now stationed there
are withdrawn. Thus far the reten
tion of the foreign forces ha3 been
urged as necessary in order to pre
serve order and protect foreigners, but
the Chinese authorities say that or
der has been so far re-established that
the imperial government is fully able
to direct the Chinese troops in such
a way as to secure complete safety to
the interests of all foreigners. This
Is understood to be the basis of the
withdrawal of 10,000 French troops
and it is earnestly hoped among Chi
nese officials that this will be followed
by a similar movement on the part
of the other foreign forces in China.
PRISON fOR TWENTY YEARS.
Sentence of Dr. Goddard, Who Shot
Jackson Affirmed.
KANSAS CITY, April 24. A special
to the Star from Jefferson City, Mo.,
says: The supreme court today af
firmed tne twenty-year sentence of
the lower court against Dr. Jefferson
D. Goddard of Kansas City for the
murder In 1897 of F. J. Jackson, a
well-to-do laundryman. Jackson, who
was partially blind, accused Goddard
of being intimate with Mrs. Jackson.
The men quarreled at the Woodland
hotel, where the Jacksons lived, and
Goddard shot and killed Jackson. Jack
son's daughter took the stand in the
defense of Goddard, who had been te
family physician. Goddard was tried
three times, the first trial resulting in
a hung jury; on the second he was
given sixteen years, but a new trial
was granted on a technicality. Jack
son was formerly in business in Chi
cago.
CALLS DOWN LI Hl.G CHANG.
Emperer Holds 111m Responsible for Ad
vance of the Germans.
LONDON, April 24. A dispatch from
Pekin says that Li Hung Chang has
been censured severely in a special
sdiet because, after the French and
Chinese had agreed upon boundaries,
tho Germans, who have no concern
with this matter, marched west and
threatened the Chinese. The edict, it
is said, orders Li Hung Chang to pre
vent the expedition and says that if
he fails the responsibility for the con
sequences will rest on him.
The emperor, in the edict, says that
Viceroys Liu Kun Yi and Chang Chin
Tung were appointed joint negotia
tors with Li Hung Chang and Prince
Ching, but that Li Hung Chang spurns
their opinions. Hereafter, it is added,
LI Hung Chang must consult with
them on all important matters.

the Southern Pacifis, giving the Union
Pacific the control of the Southern
Pacific.

TOE FILIPINO'S DOPE
Aguinaldo Convinced Civil Government
"Will Enable Him to Bealiza It.
HE URGES COMPLETE SURRENDER.
Wants All Insurgents to Capitulate and
Take Oath of Allegiance Soverlgnity
Better Than Independence ills Re
cent Address.
MANILA, April 23. A representa
tive of the Associated Pi ess visited
Emilio Aguinaldo at 56 Solano street,
whither he was removed from the Ma
lacanan. and found him in a large
room upstairs, furnished with a table,
a typewriting machine, three settees,
and twenty chairs. His wife, who
was entertaining a number of Fili
pino women friends, sat at one end of
the room, while Aguinaldo, smoking a
cigar and chatting with Benito Legar
do, occupied the opposite corner.
Others present were Lieutenant Col
onel John S. Mallory of the Forty
first volunteer infantry, who has
charge of Aguinaldo; Lieutenant Gil
bert A. Youngberg of the Third artil
lery, and Mr. Fisher, General Mac
Arthur's private secretary.
Aguinaldo, whose bearing was cour
teous and dignified, was dressed In
white, looked well and altogether
made an excellent impression. Le
gardo, who but recently returned from
the United States, was telling him
about his trip, and he seemed intense
ly interested, smiling frequently and
asking numerous questions. He in
quired particularly as to what Presi
dent McKInley said and seemed anx
ious to know what was thought of
him in the United States.
He was rather reluctant to talk for
publication and considered every ques
tion carefully before answering. He
said he was doing all he could to as
sist In the pacification of the Philip
pines and expressed himself as sur
prised at what the Americans had ac
complished. When he was first cap
tured, he went on to say, he was
greatly astonished to find that a ma
jority of the Filipinos entertained the
opinion that American sovereignty
was preferable to Independence, but
now he was inclined to believe that
way himself. He explained that since
the dissolution of the insurgent con
gress and the declaration of guerrilla
warfare the chiefs had operated to all
lntent3 and purposes independently.
They recognized him as commander-in-chief,
sending him reports occasion
ally, and he Issued some orders, but
for the last seven months communica
tion had been difficult and he had
been almost disconnected.
"I am now urging in the strongest
possible manner," said Aguinaldo,
"that all Insurgents should surrender
and swear allegiance to the United
States."
He expressed the opinion that Tinio,
Lusban, Malvar and other representa
tive insurgents will surrender as soon
as they come to understand the na
ture of amnesty offered. He said he
hoped that when the work of pacifi
cation was complete and conditions
were settled the prisoners In Guam
would be released.
After referring in grateful terms to
the courteous treatment accorded him
by the military authorities, he de
clared his conviction that the civil
government which would follow .pac
ification would realize the highest
hopes Of the Filipino people.
