How Women Act While Consulting a Male Physician.
A woman is sick; some disease peculiar to her sex is fast developing in her system. She goes to her
family physician and tells him a story, but not the whole story. She holds something back, loses her head.be-

tuintauudixu, luigxu niiaisnc wains iLsay,ana nnaiiy conceals vnat sneougnt to nave told, and thus
completely mystifies the doctor. Is it any wonder, therefore, that the doctor fails to cure the disease ?
Still, we cannot blame the woman, for it is very embarrassing to detail some of the symptoms of her
suffering, even to her family physician. It was for this reason that years ago Mrs. Lydia E. Pink
ham determined to step in and help her sex. Having had considerable experience in treating female
ills with her Vegetable Compound, she encouraged the women of America to write to her for
advice in regard to their complaints and, being a woman, it was easy for her ailing sisters to pour
into her ears every detail of their suffering. In this way .
Mrs. Pinkham, in Lynn, Mass.,
was able to do for them what the physicians were unable to do, simply because she had the
, proper information to work upon, and from the little group of women who sought her
advice years ago, a great army of her fellow beings are to-day constantly applying for
advice and relief, and during the last year many, many thousands every month have written
and received valuable advice and help.
Nowhere except at Lydia E. Pinkham 's laboratory in Lynn is there such an amount' of
information at hand to assist in the treatment of all kinds of female ills, from . the
simplest local irritation, to the most complicated diseases of the womb. The records
of all the many hundreds of thousands of cases as to which advice has been asked
are there kept on file by Mrs. Pinkham, and from this vast experience she is able
to do more than the family physician for ailing women. Any woman, therefore,
is responsible for her own suffering who will not take the trouble to write to
Mrs. Pinkham for advice. The testimonials which we are constantly publishing
from grateful women establish beyond a doubt the power of LYDIA E.
PINKHAM'S VEGETABLE COHPOUND to conquer female diseases.

Objections to Ballots.
In the precincts where five votes or ten
votes are claimed for Bingham, these flg
tires arc not Intended to represent the exact
discrepancy ullcgcd In the complaint by
Bingham, but are tupposed to be not
greatly removed from what will be shown
In the canvass of the vote in the courts.
The ground on which theae votes are
sought to be transferred from .Broadwell
to Bingham, are based upon the assump
tion that they are Illegal, because they
wero not marked as required by law. It
la further alleged that each of these bal
lots hud marks of idc-ntltlcatlon placed on
It by the elector for the purpose of Identi
fying said ballots.
Also that five other and different bal
lots which were counted for the incum
bent In each vt thcs, precincts and which
hud been deposited In the lllot box, were
not endorsed by the flgnature of the two
Judges upon the backs thereof and were
therefore void.
Also that five other and different ballots
were counted for the incumbent from which
it wua impossible to determine the electors'
choice.
Also that five other and different ballots
were cast by illegal voters and were re
ceived and counted for the present In
cumbent of the office of clerk of the dis
trict court and that the names of the per
F'T.s po voting are unknown to the con
testant. The contestant alleges, finally, that the
foregoing 162 precincts, when canvassed. In
the courts, will show that Bingham re
ceived 9.442 IcBl votes and that Broadwell
received only C,2p9 votea.
The contestant therefore aska that the
"pretended flection" of Broadwell to the
crce of clerk of tho district court be an
nulled and that Bingham be adjudged to
have been elected to aald office for the
ntxt term and that he be declared to be
the perron duly elected thereto and for
"such other relief aa may be Just and
proper In the premises."
"The proposed enlargement of the fire
limits In a good thing," said a prominent
business man last night, "as It will pre
vent any more frame structures being
erected within the limits and will give the
authorities power to condemn some of the
old wooden shacks that, now stand righf
In the business section of the city." While
the amended ordinance now before the
council does not extend the limits on the
north, the line Is moved on the south from
N to O street. This Is considered neces
sary on aot-ount of the prospect of a via
duct being built across the railroad tracks
at O street. The extension of the limit
so as to Include both aldea of O street
will prevent the erection of cheap building
on O street. When the ordinance Is passed
and becomes a law it Is the Intention of the
city authorities to make Inspection nnd
serve a 'number of condemnation notices on
owners ef property. Some of the shacks
In the alley between N and O streets will
have to be torn down. Such action will
greatly reduce the liability of fire and will
naturally bo gratifying to members of the
fire department and Insurance agents.
The suggestion has been made that the
eastern limits be extended to Twenty-third
street Instead of stopping at the alley be
tween Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth
streets. If this Is done a number of old
shells will be condemned.
While the ordinance is still In the hand
of the Judiciary committee, it Is understood
that there will be a favorable report. As
the members of the council appear to favor
the ordinance there la no loubt about Its
final passage.
OfJIcer Krorger's Record.
80 much surprise was expressed yester
day at the action of the Fire and Folic
board In dropping Edward Kroeger from
the police jmy roll that friend of the
officer decided to look up his record.
The books show that Kroeger served six
years and one month on the police force.
He served under four chiefs and one act
ing chief. The first chief he worked for
was Wyllc Beckett, next came Thomaa
Brennan. then My lea Mitchell. Acting Chief
Allie and Chief John Brlggs.
The record further show that Kroeger
was never reprimanded for neglect of duty
or any violation of the rules of the depart
ment. Aside from times when he was sick
he never lost a day from duty. No other

Fierce Street Fight.
Yesterday afternoon two roughly dressed
men, both strangers In the city, engaged
in a fierce fight at the corner of Twenty
fourth and N streets. In a moment a
large crowd gathered to watch the
play. Officer Tangeman arrested one
of the men without much trouble,
hut the other was a scrapper rrom
Bitter Creek. It took Chief Brlggs, Cap
tain Shields and Officer Tangeman fully
ten minutes to carry the man to Jail. He
fought every Inch of the way. Both men
were too much under the influence of liquor
to give their names and they were booked
as John and Richard Roe. It took the ar
resting officers a good half hour to clean
the mud from their clothing. '

During the afternoon the teachers called at
