A TRAINED NURSE
After Years of Experience, Advises Women In
Regard to Their Health.
Mr.' Martha Fohlman
of 65 Chester Avenue,
Newark, N. J., who U a
graduate Nurse from tha
Itlockley Training School,
at Philadelphia, and for
it years Chief Clinic
Narae at the Philadelphia
Hospital, writes the letter
printed below. She has
the ad rentage of personal
experience, besides her
professional education,
and what she has to say
mar be absolutely relied
upon,.
Many other women are
afflicted as she waa. They
can regain health in the
same way. It is prudent
to heed suoh advice from
aueh a source.
Mr, Pohlman writes:
"I am firmly persuaded,
aftereigbt years of experience
with Cvdia B. Finkham.
Vegetable Compound, tLat It
la tbe safest and best medicine
for any suffering woman to
use. -
"Immediately after my
marriage I found that my
health began to fail me. I be
came weak and pale, with se
vere bearinr-down pains, f ear
ful backaches and fi-equent
diary spells. The doctor pre
scribed for ma, yet I did not
Improve. I would bloat after
eating and frequently become
nauwated. - I had an acrid discharge and
pains down through my limbs so I could
bardlv walk. It was as bad a cam of female
trouble as I hare ever known. Lydia E.
Pink ham's Vegetable Compound, however,
cured me within four months. Since that
time I hare bad occasion to recommend It to
a number of patients suffering from all
forms of female difficulties, and I find that
while it is considered unprofessional to rec
ommend a patent medicine, I can honestly
recommend Lydia E. , Finkham' Vegetable
Compound, for I hare found that it cures
female ills, where all other medicine fails. It
Is a grand medicine for sick women."
Money cannot buy such testimony as
this merit alone can produce such re
sults, and the ablest specialists now
agree that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound is the most univer
sally successful remedy for all female
diseases known to medicine.
When women are troubled with Ir
regular, suppressed or painful men
struation, weakness, leucorrheca, dis
placement or ulceration of the womb,
that bearing-down feeling, inflamma
tion of the ovaries, backache, bloat
ing (or flatulence), general debility, in

pound at once removes such troubles.
No other female medicine in the
world has received Mich widespread
and unqualified endorsement. No other
medicine has such a record of cures of
female troubles.
The needless suffering Of women from
diseases peculiar to their sex is terrible
to 6ee. The money which they pay to
doctors who do not help them is an
enormous waste. The pain is cured
and the money is saved by Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable- Compound. Ex

WORK OF GRAIN EXCHANGE
President Wattles Shows How Value of
Nebraska Grain is Increased.
CORN WORTH TWO TO SIX CENTS MORE
Low Rate to Golf Points Bring Gain
to Producers Equal to the Reduo
" t(on "la 'arryina; Charges to
Foreign Markets.
The first annual report of the Omaha
Grain exchange, just to hand, Is an lnter
it eating' etMtbme of what has been done
sines the exchange was opened on Feb
ruary I of last year in the way of placing
Omaha on the map as a grain market. G.
W. Wattles, president of the exchange, in
his report says:
"A rate war for several months at the
beginning of the exchange Increased the
value of Nebraska grain 'from 1 to ft cents
per bushel and resulted in a permanent
reduction of rates from Omaha and many
Nebraska points to other markets. The
fact established that grain could bo stopped
at this market and later forwarded to other
markets without loss, brought new com
petitors Into the field for this grain for
export. . The roads leading to the gulf
suddenly realised that this traffic was
within , their reach, and by an alliance
with large exporters and the establish
ment of a '-through rate from Omaha to
foreign ports, were able to secure at in
creased prices a large part of the corn
sold here during the past fall and winter.
The gulf ports are about SCO miles nearer
Nebraska than the Atlantic seaboard and
this fact, together with the fact that to
the gulf ports is a down grade haul, per
mits a lower export' rate than could be
expected by the longer and more difficult
haul by way of th eastern seaboard. This
new route ( hss been- opened up for Ne
braska grain by this exchange. It haa re
sulted In a decrease of carrying charges
from Omaha to foreign markets of from
t to cents per bushel on all corn sold In
this stste since November 1, 1904. This
hss resulted in an Increase of value to the
producer of a corresponding amount. This
Increase of vstue has been established on
all (he grain tn this state, notwithstanding
the fact that a comparatively small amount
has been or Will be sold by tha producers
of the state." '
U accede Other Records;
President Wattles also cites that the
amount of grain handled through tbe
Omaha exchange during the Arat year of
Its establishment exceeded the amount han
dled the first year by Kansas City, Duluth,
Milwaukee or Minneapolis.
The secretary's report shows the read
justment of grain rates 'secured since the
exchange was established. For Instance,
the local ratea on corn and wheat from
' Omaha to Chicago were reduced from 11
and IS centa to 18 and 16 cents, arspect
ively, while the proportions! rates were
' cut from 21 to IS snd 11. .
In his reports the secretary says: "W
will handle,, approximately, tO.OCO.000 bush
els of grain In this market the first twelve
months of this exchange. Not many, If
any, of the exchangee can show as good
a record the first year. With a crop
raised yearly In Nebraska of from 850,000.,
000 to 400,COO,COO bushels of grain, and with
conditions light, we should receive (0,000,
000 bushels of grain the second year of
this exchange, and a reasonable Increase
each year thereafter. W will, of course,
draw a large percentage of the grsin han
.died In this market from Nebraska. Wb
can and will draw from South Dakota,

PLATTSMOtTTH. Neb., Msrch lS.-(Spe-clal.)
An old German farmer residing west
of Plattsmouth has a fine son of whom he
Is justly proud. He decided to find out
the trend of the boy's mind and adopted
a novel method by which to test him.
Slipping Into his son's room one morning
he placed on the table a glass of whisky,
a Bible and a silver dollar.
"Now," said he, "ven dot poy comes in,
if be takes dot toiler he's going to be a
beesnls man; if he takes dot Bible, he'll
be a preacher,, but If he takes dot whisky
he's no goot and Is going to be a drunk
ard." Then he hid behind the door to see which
his son would chooser In came the boy,
whistling, and walked up to the table.
He picked up the Bible and placed It
under bis arm; put the dollar In his pocket;
then snatched up the glass of whisky snd
drained It to the bottom, and went out
smacking his lips. The old German poked
his head out from behind the door and
exclaimed:
"Meln Oott, he vas going to be a bolltl-
cian.'- "
Iowa and northern Kansas. In my opinion
Omaha is s good place for a reasonable
number of flouring and corn-meal mills,
In view of the fact that grain In abund
ance can be had with which to supply
them." (
The secretary's report shows that the
future trading at the exchange from Feb
ruary to December 31 was': Wheat, 7D5.O0O
bushels; corn, 8,970,000 bushels; oats, 385.
000' bushels. - ' i '!"-
The total amount of wheat, corn, oats,
rye and barley Inspected1 at Omaha and
Council Bluffs during the same period was
13,935 cars. ' i
From February 1 to December 31, 1904,
the receipts of grain, at Omaha and Coun

Notwithstanding the assertion of Count
Casstnl that "Russia will conclude peace
on Its own terms," there Is scarcely a mem
ber of the diplomatic corps who does not
believe that Russia will be forced to ac
cept the terms of Japan, and that within
a- very short time.
Thus far the Muscovite empire has been
able to float Its war loans through the
Paris Bourse without much difficulty. But
the terms have been ruinous. The average
Russian loans negotiated during the past
year have netted only 85 per cent, of their
face value, and now the Parisian bankers
have "adjourned" further negotiations for
a new Russian loan. . - .,
There Is In Washington at the present
time a French gentleman who has very
close relations with the financiers of the
French capital. Speaking of the Russian
financial. situation today, he said: "Ever
since the end of the Crimean war, in 1865,
the relations between Russia and France
have grown yearly more close. France has
furnished the finances for nearly all the
great Russian enterprises. Paris Is the
principal market for Russian securltlea.
and it Is doubtful if there la a French fam
ily with a dollar Invested in foreign bonds
or consols which has not some of Rus
sla's obligations in its strong box. In
Japan the people implicitly trust their
earnings to the agents of the mikado. The
Russian peasant has no funds and .the
peasantry of France take his place. The
bourgeolse and the farmer- of France has
furnished fully 60 per cent of the funds
used by Russia In carrying on the war
against Japan.
Hebrew Baners Refuse Loan.
"Tha Hebrew bankers of London, and
Berlin have positively declined to open
their vaults to the Russians because ot
the trestment Of tha Jews In Russia.
France la the only source of supply open
to Rusala's financiers and with the loss
of confidence In Russian obligations which
baa come upon the pessantry and the bank
crs ot France It would seem hopeless for
the csar to attempt to carry on a costly
war. In spite of Count Casslnl's optimism
therefore, it begins to look as though Rus
sia will be forced to ask for peace and
when peace comes It will be upon the
mikado's terms and not upon terms dlo-
tated by the grand ducal -clique to 8t,

No list of principals or cost of the com
pany headed by Johnny Ray and now rep
resenting "Down the Pike" at the Krug
will be printed here, for the reason that
the list ' la too long. The whole company
Is entitled to appear under the heading
of "principals," and the list Is almost as
long as the show, which lasts three hours.
And these three hours are simply packed,
rammed and Jammed full of hearty, healthy
laughter. JJow and then a Jest gets Just
a little bit near the edge, but It Is pulled
back before It gets clear over, and the
scare is all for nothing. It Is sublimated
nonsense, but Is given with the quick
snap that makea that sort of thing en
joyable. And over it all Is the personality
of Johnny Ray, with his own rich resource
of broad and genial humor. He fairly
outdoes his former efforts in this, and as
McCorkle, the Janitor, effaces memories of
Casey or anything else he has yet been
seen in.
Emma Ray Is still Emma Ray, and that
Is as much as. she ought to undertake or
the audience to require. She is clever
within certain lines, and does what Is
ssked of her In an unhesitating way. She
leads a chorus In one song with consider
able vivacity. Miss Sophie Burnham Is
the songbird of the flock, with a good
voice that Is heard In a number of songs,
and which won for her several good en
cores last night, She Is assisted In a
couplo of them by a chorus that is very
pleasing. Miss Nettie Peters Is captivat
ing until she starts to sing, and then one
wonders how such a little voice can come
from so robust a woman. Jessie Chapman
leads one chorus very acceptably, and other
wise adds to the enjoyment of the perform
ance. Wllber Held haa a good voice, and last
night started the boys on a new whistling
tune, "Farewell, Nellie Mine." Nick Con
way, Phil Peters, Harry First, George Tlm
mons fnd Tom Lee all stand out well In
character parts or specialties. The cho
rus Is one of the few that come up to
the advance agent's promise; this one, if
anything, surpasses expectation. The girls
are young and comely and there Isn't a
dead one In the whole list. And the man
agement has fitted them out with a fine
array of raiment, so that they are seen
In all manner of striking garb and any1
number of pretty stage pictures. In the
male chorus Is one ambitious young man
who sings falsetto In what he probably
conceives to be a contra-tenor. The di
rector of the music ought to give him some
attention.
Twice yesterday the Krug theater was
filled to the overflow point, and twice It
was emptied of people who were fairly
wearied with excessive laughter, each one
agreeing that "Down the Pike" la the
goods. The company will remain at the
the chief bulwark of the olio, the cleverest
conceit Is that given by Sydney Dean and
three companions. This sentence explains
why the humor in it is real humor and
the songs appropriate: ",'ChiiBtmas on
Blackwell's Island,' originally arranged by
Clay M. Greene for a Lamb's club gam
bol." It Is presumed that everyone knows
the Lamb's club exists In New Tork and
that actors and other geniuses are mem
bers. The setting of the sketch Is a prison
corridor showing three cells, each hold
ing a jailbird, who sings and jokes 'with
his companions and a trusty or noble Eng
lish lineage, through the bars. -As it Is
Christmas morning there Is a monstrous
chance for bathos, but the author cleverly
evades the irresistible and lets Just a
tincture of the holiday creep through. Mr.
Dean, Frank Willing and George Rolland
have fine voices. They sing five songs to
gether, of which "The Turkey Bone" and
"The Kavanngh" are the best. Fred Jar
vis, the trusty, and the others are ex
cellent comedians. The act Is so well bal
anced and so artistically presented that It
Is difficult not to praise it too much. It
Is tho first time the company has been
here, as is the case with many others on
the bill. ' . "1.
The Simon-Gardner act. "The New

physical culture drama and the contempt
felt by vaudeville person, for the money
spent on smashed furniture and stoneware,
but it Is a "screaming farce," as the pro
gram would have It. Mlas Gardner, who
is a handsome woman, wrote it and Mr.
Simon acts It in no mean way and 1. re
sponsible for Its pronounced success. The

Russia Arraigned foe Frivolity.
1 Metropolitan Antlu. haa issued a re
markable pastoral address arraigning the
Ruesla of today for vanity, frivolity, dissi
pation and Impiety, the Just punishment
of which Is humiliation of the nation, and
preaching repentance and th fear of God.
The pastoral says:
It Is not the first time that on holy Rus
sia haa fallen dire misfortunes; but then
Russia was a wholly different country,
strong In the love of holy religion and Im
pregnable In devotion to the emperor and
the fatherland. Now, while carrying on
a great war, Instead of congregating In a
spirit of high and self-denying patriotism.
Internal dissension reigns In the land,
everything Is overthrown, science Is neg
lected and what is holy Is trampled upon.
During the carnival days last week, while
our heroes were dying In unequal combat,
watering the battlnld with their blood,
we dared even then abandon ourselves
to the usual excess and days of feasting
and unsvetnly dlatilpatlon. With right ws
are dc-splsed by all. mocked at by all the
peoples of the earth. - Awake, then, holy,
orthodox Russia for Ood; oleanse thyself
..I ih. aiAiTia nt ik foulness of thy sins:
repent enllgliUn thyself and God will give
tnee grace.

A very large audience attended at the
Boyd theater to witness the single per
formance of "The Girl and the Bandit"
last night. No more effective testimony
to the excellence of this performance could
have been given than that offered by the
applause of the delighted auditors, many
of whom were seeing the piece for the
third time within a week. All the pralso
that haa been expended on the piece and
the principals Is merited.
