joins Music hall , where the national encamp
ment of the Grand Army of the Republic will
bo held. While the "middle-of-the-road"
populists want a general conference before
the congressional elections are held the con
vention Is called for next week * because of
the very low rates on the railroads that
can bo had next week to Cincinnati and the I
fact that members of the Grand Army of the I
Republic from the western states , who will

The hospital train from Chlcknmauga ,
which left Cnmp Thomas with the sick be
longing to the Second regiment of Nebraska
\oluntcers , arrived In Omaha yesterday aft
ernoon o\cr the Missouri Pacific nt about
o'clock. The train , which was composed of
ono baggage car and three Pullmans , made
good time on the run. although It was nearly
an hour late In reaching here. There were
hundreds of people nt the Wfbator street
depot to receive the train and Us load of
Invalided patriots , among the waiting ones
being numerous anxious rehUUet of those
on board and some were not uro but that
some relative might be sick and bo on hla
way home.
When the trnln came to n stop there was
a rush to the cars by the crowd In waltlns ,
eager to see If there were any familiar faces
among the returning soldiers and there was
Just as eager a rush by those on the train
who could stand on their feet to get out of
the train to greet relatlvea. There was a
sigh of relief when it was olllclally an
nounced that uono of the III hail succumbed
to their sickness or to the fatigue of the long
hot Journey.
A number of the soldiers were able , when
they reached Omaha , to take up their bag
gage and Icavo the train. Others who hnd
started In a fair condition were forced to
seek a bed befote reaching here. They all
showed the evidence of their long service In
camp duty nnd this appearance was aggra
vated somewhat by the dust and dirt ac
cumulated in travel.
At all of the stations where some of the
slclc were put oft In th.irgo of friends or rel
atives there were crowds to greet the re
turning solders.
There was llttlo complaining among the
men. They thought the presence of the
fever was largely duo to the water they had
to drink , although they said it appeared
to bo all right to them while drinking It.
There was no criticism of anything or any
body In particular , except the condition of
things which compelled them to remain In
camp instead of going to the front. With
out exception they were glad to get back
to Nebraska and there teemed to bo some
Improvement in their condition when they
learned they had reached Omaha and were
at least within a day of home. Typhoid
and malarial fever was the prevailing Ill
ness among them.
The sick were In charge ot Captain M. A.
Robert , surgeon of the regiment , and he wan

JEXNIH U. Gnnn.v , Denmark , Iowa ,
writes to Mrs. Pinltham :
"I liuil been biclc tit my monthly
periods for beven jenrs , and tried
almost everything I ever heard of , but
without any benefit. Was troubled
with backache , headache , pains in thu
shoulders and diiziuuss. Through my
mother I wa.s induced to try Lyclia K.
Pinkhum's Vegetable Compound , and
it lias done me so much good. I am
now sound and well. "
Mrs. TlAnnv HAUDV , Riverside , Iowa ,
writes to Mrs. Pinkhnm the story of
her struggle with serious ovarian trou
ble , nnd the beneflt she received from
the use of I.ydia E. Vinkham'H Vege
table Compound. This is her letter :
"Uow thankful I am that I took
your snc'diclno. I was troubled for
two years with inflammation of the
womb and ovaries , womb wnb also very
low. I was in constant inibcry. I had
heart trouble , was short of breath and
could not walk five blocks to save my
life. Suffered very much with my
back , had headache all the time , was
nervous , menstruations were irregular
and painful , had a bad discharge and
was troubled with bloating. I was a
perfect wreck. Had doctored nnd
taken local treatments , butfctlllwasno
better. I was advised by one of my
neighbors to write to you. I have now
finished the second bottle of Mrs. Pink-
ham's Vegetable Compound , nnd nm
better in every way. I am able to do '
all my own work andean walk nearly
a mile without fatigue ; something I
had not been able to do for over two
years. Ycur medicine has done me
more good than all the doctors. " ' *
