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.
"I was taken sick

the doctor arid my

work on me. I

flowed very badly , ,
until a year ar,o c4

then my stomach
and lungs got so
bad. I suffered terribly ; the blood
went up in my lungs and stomach, and
I vomited it up. I could not eat
seare,,ly anything-. I cannot tell what
I suffered with my head. My hus
band got me a bottle of Lydia E. Pink

I had taken half of it I began to im
prove, and to-day I am another woman.
Mrs. Pi nicham's medicine has saved my

THE 51-ATE JOURNAL.
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.

wind was much below the a,verage, onty
one December having been calmer.
Its total depth of snow was scarcely
comparable with the average amount,
only three Decembers having had less
snow. Only one December has had a
lower minimum barometer. The Me,-
cury did not fall to zero during the
mOnth and there were only nine davs
with a mean temperature below the

half the average number.

slightly below the average and the rela

VERS. 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.

She has complained to the authorities,
but as the young man seems rational
on everything else they are at a lass to
know what to do. The young lady never
associated with him and is engaged to
marry a gentleman in Ohio. Olson has
been conducting himself in this way for
more than a year past.

FOR RAISING NOTES.

Two Nen Arrested Alleged to Have
Changed Fives to Tens.
Kansas City, Jan. 5.T. R. 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.

himself yesterday concerning vacancies
in the position of chief of staff. The
amendment was adopted.
When the reception of the bill was re
ported providing for the appointment
of volunteer officers to be officers in the
regular army, an extended discussion,
ensued. Mr. Money declared there were
many officers in the volunteer army who
were as clearly entitled, as gentlemen
and officersto commissions in the regu
lar army as the cadets, who by hazing
and by their testimony before investi
gating committees "are today disgracing'
the whole country at West Point."
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.
