WOMAN'SKIONEYTROUBLES Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound is Especially Successful in Curing this Fatal Woman's Disease. Of all the diseases known with which the female organism is afflicted , kidney disease is' the most fatal. In fact , unless early and correct treatment is ap plied , the weary patient seldom survives. Being : fully aware of this , Mrs. Pinkham , early in her career , gave ex haustive study to the subject , and in producing her great remedy for woman's ills Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was careful to see that it contained the correct combination of herbs which was sure to control that fatal disease , woman's kidney troubles. The Vegetable Compound acts in har mony with the laws that govern the entire female system , and while there are many so called remedies for kidney troubles , Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound is the only one especially prepared for women. The following letters will show how marvellously successful it is : \ \ Aug. 6 , 1899. " DEAR MBS. PINKHAM : I am fail ing very fast , since January have lost thirty-five or forty pounds. I have a yellow , muddy complexion , feel tired , and have bearing down pains. Menses have not appeared for three months ; sometimes I am trou bled with a white discharge , and I also have kidney and bladder trouble. . . I have been this way for a long time , and feel BO miserable I thought I would write to you , and see if you could do me any good. " Miss EDNA FBEDEBICK , Troy , Ohio. Sept. 10 , 1899. " DEAB MBS. PINKHAM : I have used Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound according to directions , and can say I have not felt so well for years as I do at present. Before w taking your medicine a more miser able person you never saw. I could not cat or sleep , and did not care to talk \vith any one. I did not enjoy life at all. Now , I feel so well I can not be grateful enough for what you have done for me. You are surely a woman's friend. Thanking you a thousand times , I remain , Ever yours Miss EDNA FBEDEBICK , Troy , Ohio. Mne. PINKHAM : I have taken five bottles of Lydia E. Pink- ham'sVegetable Compound and cannot praise it enough. I had headaches , leucorrhoea , falling of the womb , and kidney trouble. I also had a pain when standing or walking , and some times there seemed to be balls of fire in front of me , so that 1 could not see for about twenty minutes. Felt as tired in the morning when I got up as if I had had no sleep for two weeks. Had fainting spells.was down-hearted , and would cry. " MBS. BEBTUAOFEB , Second and Clayton Sts. , Chester Pa. "DEAR MRS. PHTKHAM : I cannot find language to express the terrible suffering I have had to endure. I had female trouble , also liverstomach , kidney , and blad der trouble. . . . I tried several doc tors , also quite a number of patent medicines , and had despaired of ever < getting well. At last I concluded to try Lydia E. Pink- ' h a m 's Vegetable Compound , and now , thanks to your medicine , I am a well woman. I can not praise your medicine too highly for I know it will do all , and even more , than it is recommended to do I tell every suffering woman about your Vegetable Compound , and urge them to try it and see for themselves what it will do.

That was a remarkable demonstra tion of what a Mogul can do , that oc curred on the New York Central the other day , when engine No. 948 , one of the new Moguls , hauled out train No. 11 , the Southwestern Limited , made up of two mail cars , five pas senger coaches and nine Wagner cars , sixteen cars in all. The total weight of the train was 1,832,000 pounds , or 916 tons , and the length of the train , including the engine , was 1,212 feet , or nearly a quarter of a mile. This engine made the running time of the train between New York and Albany , 143 miles , in three hours and fifteen minutes. There is no railroad in the world which has a better roadbed , more skillful engineers , or better equipment , backed by loyal men always alert for the safety of their passengers , than the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad. What road can match Its corps of men , from President Cal- laway down the long line of em ployees , to the humble and faithful trackmen who watch their sections of rails through the long hours of the night and day , In order to safeguard the lives of the travelers on trains whirling by their humble shanties , many of which nestle closely to the rails under their guardianship.

DEPARTMENT HAS A BUSY DAY French , German nn.l IlnRiian Inquiry Each Gets Jt § Proper Reply President and State Department Hedge "Whole Matter with Great Secrecy. WASHINGTON , Sept. 22. The United States government has made full and complete answers to the vari ous inquiries that have been addressed to It by the powers relative to the Chi nese troubles. Moreover , it has gone farther and has made a disclosure of all its purposes and as a member of the administration puts it , it has thrown its hand open on the table. The action was taken after the cabinet meeting today and a luncheon at the White House that followed served to reduce the decision to an ultimate form. At 3:30 : o'clock Minister Wu called by appointment upon Acting Secretary Hill and was handed a memorandum embodying the response of the United States government to the request of Prince Ching that Mr. Conger or some other person be immediately empow ered to begin negotiations with the Chinese authorities for a final settle ment. The minister came away with a dissatisfied expression upon his face. Next came M. Thiebaut , the French charge. A few minutes' conversation sufficed to impart to him orally an an swer to his own verbal inquiry. Then Baron Sternberg , the German charge , who had been notified of the readiness of the State department to make answer to the German note , call ed and was given that answer. He hastened , away to cable it to his gov- ernmentT The department then sent the an swer to the Russian inquiry forward ed by messenger and wired cablegrams containing the substance of the an swers to its diplomatic representatives abroad. Thus closed one of the most interesting and important phases of the Chinese entanglement. The State department absolutely re fused to make any statement as to the nature of the answers , taking the ground that to do so would be a violation lation of the diplomatic proprieties. However , as it was calculated that all of these answers will have reached their destination abroad by tomorrow it was promised that the text of the communications should be given to the press tomorrow forenoon. The ministers and charges who received the messages here adopted the same secretive attitude. The piesident him self , it seems , had given instructions that every effort should be made to maintain secrecy in this matter until the official disclosure. With all this it is known that the German proposal that negotiations with China be deferred until the Chi nese responsible for the Pekin outrages have been surrendered to the allies has failed of approval by our govern ment. The declination has been con veyed in a manner that cannot give offense , but it is believed tLat the Uni ted States government cannot recog nize the principle that a country may be called upon to surrender its own citizens to a foreign power or powers for punishment. The government does not relinquish the Idea of the ul timate punishment of the offenders when they are properly identified , but it does not believe that the pursuit of this object should put a st p to all ne gotiations. CREDIT FOR GALVESTON. Scheme to Help Oat the Merchants of the Stricken City. NEW YORK , Sept. 22. The New York Credit Men's association has pass ed a resolution recommending the ad visability of the extension of credits to customers at Galveston who suffered loss or whose property has been de stroyed and suggested the granting of new credit and further concessions as may be helpful and necessary to en able the victims of the Gaiveston dis aster to re-establish themselves once more.

PITTSBURG , Pa. , Sept. 22. The vote on the proposition of the glass chim ney manufacturers' conceding an ad vance of 6 per cent in wages was re ceived today and is faborable to all acceptance of the increase and all the factories in the country will resume operations at once. The resubption will give employment to 2,700 skilled workmen and 12,000 unskilled men. Montana Town Burns. BOZEMAN , Mont. , Sept. 20. The town of Belgrade was nearly wiped out by fire today , and one man , "West Riley - ley , was burned to death. The fire or iginated in the hotel owned by Riley. The property loss is $15,000.

TACOMA , Sept 22.--Hundreds * of land seekers are arriving at Brewster , Okanogan county , to secure locations in the Colville Indian reservation , which will be opened for settlement on October 10. They are chiefly from Minnesota , Illinois , Iowa , the Dakotas and Indiana. Between Republic and the western boundary of the reserva tion over 100 land agents are engaged in locating settlers for from $10 to $50 each. October 10 between 5,000 and 10,000 settlers will swarm over the reserve to secure possession and set their stakes. - ifsf " MARTIAL LAW HAS CEASED. Civil Authorities Aciumo Charge of Ala * nlclpal Affair * at Oalvestnn. GALVESTON , Tex. , Sept. 21. This evening Mayor Jones proclaimed that martial law would cease at noon to morrow and the civil authorities would assume charge of municipal af fairs. This was done at the sugges tion of General Scurry , who expressed the belief that conditions had reached such a stage that the civil authori ties were able to cope with the situa tion. This , however , does not mean the immediate withdrawal of the mi litia. They are to co-operate with the city officials in the enforcement of order and will continue" duty as a part of the government. Since martial law has prevailed in Galveston good order has resulted. It was feared in some quarters that when it became known that the militia had given way to civil authority the looting and rob bery which began after the storm and continued until the declaration of mar tial law might recommence. The mil itary forces will be used as a check on this character of crime , however , and will in all probability remain here for the next twenty days. The shooting of negroes by military men for looting has had a most salu tary effect and has in a measure ter rorized the offenders ; still there are cases of robbery reported daily , which are being dealt with severely. The stencn arising from the Loclies beneath the ruins is becoming un bearable. Today orders were issued to impress every able-bodied man for street cleaning service. Over 500 men were secured today and under this order are fully 2,000 men engaged in the work. Still this force is not suffi cient and more men must be secured. Men for this service are to be import ed from the interior of the state. The work of removing the dead from the debris still continues. The pres ent method of disposition is crema tion and as each corpse is taken out it is thoroughly saturated with coaloil and thrown into a blazing fire. This plan of incineration has been entirely successful and the bodies are auickly destroyed. Funeral pyres are blazing throughout the city and in this way Galveston is ridding itself ot the dead. STORY Of AWf UL MASSACRE. Russians Compel Tliontmiids of Chinese to TVatie Into the Amur. LONDON , Sept. 21. "Authentic ac counts have been received here , " says the Moscow correspondent of th Stan dard , "of a horrible massacre at Blag- ovestchensk , which was undoubtedly carried out under direct orders from the Russian authorities , which then let loose the tide of slaughter thiough- out Amur. "The entire Chinese population of 5,000 souls was escorted out of town to a spot five miles up the Amur , and then being led in batches of a few hundred to the river bank , were or dered to cross over to the Chinese side. No boats were provided and the river is a mile wide. The Chinese were flung alive into the stream and were stabbed or shot at the least re sistance , while Russian volunteers , who lined the bank , clubbed or shot any who attempted to land. No one escaped alive. The river bank for miles was strewn with corpses. " EDICT AGAINST BOXERS. Emperor Orders Viceroys to Exterminate Rebellious Subjects. WASHINGTON , Sept. 21.
