ANNICTBOMP5ON OAS, LLTTZILS ABB PCBLISBED "I cannot say enough in regard to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It bas done me more good than all the doctors. I have been troubled with female weakness in its worst form for about ten years. I had leucorrhoea and was so weak that I could not do my housework. I also had falling of the womb and inflammation of the wonab and ovaries, and at menstrual periods I suffered terribly. At times my back would ache very hard. I could not lift anything or do any heavy work ; was not able to stand on my feet long at a time. My husband spent hundreds of dollars for doctors but they did me no good. My husband's sister wrote what the Vege table Compound had done for her, and wanted me to try it, but I did not then think it would do me any good. After a time, I concluded to try it, and I can truly say it does all that is claimed forit. Ten bottles of the Vegetable Com and seven packages of Sanative Wash have made a new woman of me, I have had no womb trouble since taking the fifth bottle. I weigh more than I have int years; can do all my own housework, sleep well, have a good appetite. and now feel that life is worth living. I owe all to Lydia, E. Pinkham's Veg.. etable Compound. I feel that it has saved my life and would not be with out it for anything. I am always glad to recommend it to my sex, for I know if they will follow Mrs. Pinkham's directions, they will be cured." Gratefully yours, MRS- Assis THOMPSON, South Hot Springs, Ark. CHANGE OP LIFE.

MUSH tiEllSi Lansing Citizens Object to the Water Furnished Them. Say the Article Sent Out to the Penitentiary is Filthy. FROM ALN OLD SLOUGH The Water Is Pumped, Insists One Itesident. Effort Being Made to Remedy the Evil Immediately. Leavenworth, Jan. 5.A communica tion has been received by Jacob Roden haus of this city, signed by Donald Mc Phail of Lansing. The letter is a com plaint against the quality of the water furnished the people of Lansing and the inmates of the penitentiary by the state of Kansas. In the letter he says that the water furnished is taken into the reservoir from a slough and not from running water. The slough is in the middle of a big sand bar and was caused by the high water last spring. When the river is high the sand bar is covered with water. but when it begins to go down the water remains in the low place on the bar, thus forming a sort of a. pond. A few years ago the engineers at the prison moved the suction pipes out on this bar. At the time,the change was made quite a large stream of water passed down the Kansas side but of late years the water has been getting less and less. until finally there is hardly any fresh water to be had on this side of the bar. The water that is in the slough has been there since the high water last spring. An effort is being made to have the pipes moved to the east side of the bar, where a dam can be built that will hold enough water to supply the town and the institution. In the con dition in whieh the water is now, it is nearly impossible to use it for drinking purposes. On several different oc casions the citizens of Lansing have had to have the water supply cut off, the water being too filthy for use. When the hydrants were not allowed to run for some time they ould give forth such an odor, that the people were afraid to use the water. The representatives of this county will probably be asked to Investigate the condition of the water and endeavor to have the pipes moved further east. It generally takes quite a. little time to move these pipes, as a pile driver will be required to drive new piles across the slough. The people of Lansing think that this should be done before the spring rise sets in. FORT SCOTT FLAX FACTORY. Doing a Rushing Business Now and Employing Twenty Men. Fort Scott, Jan. 5.---The flax factory is now employing' regularly an average of twenty men. Some days twenty-five are at work. It is just beginning to get well organized and the bales of flax tow are piled up fast in the store room. A ready market is being found for the product of this institution and Mr. Mar tin said today that it was hoped to run the factory the year round. Straw is coming in nicely. Seven wagon loads were delivered yesterda, by Bourbon county farmers. Besides this a car load was received by rail. The yard around the mill is tilled with straw stacks. The company pays from $2 to $3.25 per ton for this straw. Good straw will bring as much a,s fall hay. The scarcity of water became a, seri ous problem for a. while this season, the boiler having exhausted the water in the well dug for the supply, but a neigh boring well is now being drained.

Snow of the University of Kansas, In it he says: The month just closed was In several respects a notable December. Its mean temperature was more than three and a half degrees above the December aver age, only three Decembers in the la-st 33 years having been warmer.

LEASE RELENTS. - Now Stated That She Wi 11 Not Seek a Divorce. Wichita, Jan. 5.It is reported here that Mrs. Mary E. Lease has abandon ed her suit for divorce. Neither Mr. Lease nor 'Mrs. Lease's lawyer will throw any light upon the subject, but a man in a position to know the facts ad mits that the divorce proceedings are off. During the week Mr. Lease received a very affectionate letter and presents from each of his children and he treated them very handsomely in return. It can be stated as a certainty that in the di vorce matter the children expressei some forcible opppsition to their moth er's purpose, especially Miss Louise Lease, the oldest daughter. Neither one of them, it appears, had even a hint that a divorce wa,s conternplated until they read it in the papers. They imme diately consulted. their mother, with the result that the proceedings w-hich were to have been commenced six weeks ago. are not yet filed. Mr. Lease has made no effort at all to discourage or prevent the divorcement.

McManus, of the United States secret service, re turned yesterday from a trip to Okla,- homa and Kansas, where he went to in vestigate the cases of Martin L. Ham mond and Lee S. Foultz, now in jail at Medicine Lodge, Kan., charged with raising government $5 bills to $1.Ds and passing them. Hammond and Foultz, whose homes are at Augusta, O. T., were arrested some time ago. It is alleged that they passed raised notes on merchants in Kiowa, Kan., and Augusta, and Ham mond is charged with having also pass ed some in Pond Creek, O. T. Mr, McManus says the work on the bills was very crudely done and should have fooled nobody. Two strangers drove into Kiowa late one afternoon and were about the town until dark. 'Then one of them went to the store of a. local merchant, bought a pair of socks and gave him a, raised bill. As it was dark, he had no chance to look at the money closely when he first received it, but af ter the stranger' left, taking hie change with him, he examined it by the lig-ht of a lamp and discovered that he had been duped. He went out and found the town mar shal. and Hammond and Foultz were arrested just as they were starting to leave a livery stable. and charged with having passed the money. A short time later another merchant reported that he also had been beaten in a similar way, and a comparison of the bills re ceived made clear that they were the work of the same persons. At present Hammond and Fon Its are being held by the state authorities. Mr. McManus says the proper procedure would have been to take them before the nearest United States commissioner. He does not think the state courts have jurisdiction in the matter. Hammond was formerly in the har ness business at Aug-usta and Foultz was employed with a railroad gang' which is 'working near Augusta. The former recently visited his father in Pond Creek. and it was at about this time that raised bills turned up there. Three of them were passed on Augusta. business men.

The committee amendment providing that volunteer officers to be appointed to second lieutenancies were disagreed to, thus restoring the house provision that volunteer officers might be appointed to the grade of first lieutenant. DEATH TAKES HER. Prima Donna Soprano or Bos tonians Dies in Denver. The famous Bostoniana who sing "The 'Viceroy" at the Crawford tonight, had sad news to greet them, when they arrived in Topeka. this morning. Miss Belle Fremont, the prima. donna so prano, died at the Tremont hotel, in Denver, at 6 o'clock last night, of pneu monia. Miss Fremont was a favorite with the company, and the great oper atic family was deeply touched and pained to hear of her death. The deceased was Miss Belle Bartlett off the stage. She was a. niece of Jessie Bartlett Davis, likewise of Josephine Bartlett, wha is also singing with the Bostonians. Her father, Frank Bartlett, of Chicago, reached Denver at 6 o'clock this morning, after a hurried but fruit less journey to reach his daughter's bed side before death took her. Numerous expressions of syrnpthy and condolence were sent by members of the company from here to the bereaved rela,- dyes. Amoug them was the following d spate hi to her father, Mr. Prank Bartlett: ' "We beg to share your sorrow in your great bereavement. We shall miss her as a, friend and an artist. Accept for the family our sincerest sympathy. "BARNABEÐ & MC DONALD." Miss Bartlett was touring for her first season. Jessie Bartlett Davis, her aunt, had looked after her education and she was starting on a promising career. She sang the part of "Beatrice" in "The Viceroy," Sind waa understudy for Miss Clark as "Yvonne" in "The Serenade," She v,-as about 22 years of age. -VV. H. Mc Donaid said: "Miss Bart lett wa9 a. great favorite with us, and gave promise of a, successful career. 'Yhe members of the company are all much grieved at her sad end. "We aIso left Miss Adele Rafter in a hospital in Denver, but we hear she Ls convalescing. There were half a dozen of the company ill with the grippe and bad colds in Denver." Miss Hilda Clark spoke in deep sym pathy of Miss Bartlett's death. "She was a clever girl," she said. Miss Clark suffered an accident in Denver. By a fall on the stage she severely sprained her knee. She has not since appeared until last night in St. Joseph. There is small prospect that she will sing to nig ht. - "I may appear tonight; I do not know yet," she said. "Last night I could not move about very freely, and sang under great disadvantage." Miss Clark walks stiffly and with a decided limp. Miss Pierson, her alter nate, Will doubtless appear as "Tivo lint" in her stead tonight. illildred Rogers sings "Beatrice" and Kathryn Russell "Floretta," Misa Raft er's role. Manager Bacon saki Deriver was a most unlucky stop for the Bostonians, and from the trend of events it seems to have been so. EASTERN RAILROAD DEAL. .7. P.
