and ninny injured by 11 Btortn that
passed over central west Missouri Into
8aturduy, deniollRhliiK buildings, tear
ing down wires nnd leaving the small
cr towns and country homes com

believed thnt the storm that struck
Knntsas City caused the death of two
fersong and doing many thousands
worth of damage, swept to the south
through Dates county, where It left
ft trail of death and destruction. Be
tween Merwln and Adrian, nineteen
persons were killed. At Crelgliton, In

dead, while at l.eoton, In Johnson
county, two are dead und unverified
reports say others have been killed.
No Quarter for Either Side.

More delegates and their friends nro
here than attended tho party conven

They arc no middle-of-the-road men,

to see any compromise. They want tho
struggle between President Taft and
the colonel fought to a tlnlsh. Quarter
Is neither asked for nor thought of.

committee session at Chicago, allow
ing that nearly all the contests had
been decided In Tuft's favor. At tho
tao time, Mr. Aldrlch felt confident,
that Taft could not win u rcnomlna
Hon. He was of tho belief that some-'
one else would stund n good show to
innd the place, "It looks ns though a
third man would be named," he ad
mitted, r

Hooper, Nebraska. "I am very glad
to tell how Lydia E.Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound has helped me. For five years
I suffered from female troubles so I was
scarcely able to do my work. 1 took doc
tors' medicines and used local treatments
but was not helped. I hod such awful
bearing down pains and my back was bo
weak I could hardly walk and could not
ride. I often had to sit up nights to sleep
and my friends thought I could not live
long. At my request my husband got
me a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound and I commenced to
take it By the time I had taken the
seventh bottle my health had returned
and I began doing my washing and was a
well woman. Atonetimeforthrceweeks
I did all tho work for eighteen boarders
with no signs of my old trouble return
ing. Many have taken your medicine
after seeing what it did for me. I would
not take $1000 and be where I was. You
have my permission to use my name if
it will aid anyone." Mrs. Susie Tem

ThePinkham record is a proud and peer
less one. It is a record of constant vic
