The Most Common Female Complaint.
f There is no female trouble so nearly
universal as leucorrhcea or “whites.”
1 Most women have suffered from it. The
symptoms are pale emaciated face, dull
heavy feeling in eyes and top of head,
frequent dizzy spells, inflammation, im
poverished blood, palpitation, swollen
feet and ankles. There is also a very
offensive discharge usually accompanied
by much itching and a burning sensa
tion. Frequently hysteria appears. Wo
men often become barren as a result of
this trouble. Leucorrhcea, although
itself painful and disagreeable, is rather
a symptom of derangements in the menstrual organs than a distinctive
disease. The right treatment reaches the deranged organs.
WineTdfrdu'
is the right treatment. Thousands of women who thought whites had become chronic
with them, have been entirely relieved by Wine of Cardui. It cures every sort of female
trouble. It is scientifically adapted to the female organism. It puts the menstrual organs
in perfect condition. When that is done whites or any other menstrual disorder disappears.
This treatment is so much preferable to the private ex- . L . ,
animations and subsequent local treatment of physi
cians that it is becoming a favorite with women every- "UiloUni UCrAnlmtNl.

Mr. W. G. Medley, the popular Wells Fargo & Cos. Express Messenger, residing at 2327

“My wife lias been a sufferer from Leucorrhcea or Whites for many months She
also had severe headaches and pains in the bark, accompanied with dizziness or faint
ing spells until she would fall on the floor mid have to go to bed. We tried several
remedies and prescriptions, but none brought relief until I got a bottle of Wine of
Cardui, which she took according to directions. My wife soon improved, and we con

the bears meantime hammering prices un
mercifully. Recollection of experiences
gone through when the market was ad
vancing during the latter part of 1896,
made them relentless and holders were
made to taste the unpleasantness attach
ing to receding values. The opening was
on the “puts,” and Immediately after
wards a further drop of i%c took place.
May wheal opened from 77c to 76%c, de
clined to 75%c, closing at 76%c—lc under
yesterday. Cash wheat was weak and lc
lower.
The corn market Was neglected, all spec
ulative attention being centered in wheat.
Business was slower than usual, and
price iluctuatlons were narrow', reflect
ing in their direction the depressed con
dition of wheat. When wheat rallied,
corn showed a disposition to advance.
May corn opened at 23%c, sold between
that price and 23%@24c, closing at the
latter—%<&%c higher than yesterday. Cash
corn was steady.
What was true of corn was likewise ap
plicable to oats. They were dull and al
nioßt neglected. May oats closed Vic high
er. Cash outs were llrm and Vic higher.
The tone of the provision market was a
little firmer at the start. The hog mar
ket afforded no strength, nor did gra:n,
but there was some demand for product
from packers, and that served to sustain
prices. Later, when a very weak feeling
was reported in the hog market, provis
ions eased off, closing 7%''tloc lower than
yesterday for May pork and 5c lower each
for May lard and May ribs.

The defense In the case of Lester Ech
ols, charged with the murder of Marshal
Tidwell, showed its hand at Rome Tues

al to a degree. An effort is being made
to prove that the killing was done by one
R. C. West, who was summoned by the
marshal to assist in Ihe arrest of Ech
ols. West swore that Echols did the
shooting. The defense afterwards placed
witnesses upon the stand who testified
that he was an ex-eonvict, having served
five years in the penitentiary, and that
they would not believe him on oath. The
defense is trying to show that West did
the shooiing and is himself responsib.t
for the death of the marshal.
Macon Evening News; Judge Felton has
rendered a decision which, so far as
known, is the first of its kind, and which
may affect large interests similarly situa
ted. The case was that of Edward Loll,
administrator on the estate of the late
John D. Hudgins, vs. the Exchange Bank.
Hudgins, when he died, owed tlie Ex
change Bank money, which was secured
by life Insurance policies. The bank paid
the premiums on the policies, and at the
proper time collected the money, which
amounted to 91,500 more than the Hudgins
estate was indebted to the bank, but on
account of having paid the premiums on
the policies the hank claimed that the lull
amount belonged to It. Loh claimed that
the $1,500 over and above the indebtedness
of the estate to the bank should he tamed
over to him to be distributed among the
other creditors. The case was an unusual
one. and Judge Felton had no previous de
lusion to go by, but he decided against the
hank, holding that simply because it kept
up the payments of the premiums did not
entitle it to more than the amount of the
estate.'s indebtedness. The case will prob
ably be appealed.
Atlanta Journal: A young white man of
prepossessing appearance, who gave the
name of Richard Dalton, was arraigned be
fore Judge Henry Tuesday on a charge at
burglary. Dalton entered a plea of guilty,
and under the circumstances, his doing so
was the act of a hero. He shouldered the
guilt in order to protect some women who
had befriended him, and his reward will
be five years at hard labor in the peniten
tiary. A short while since, Dalton floated
into Atlanta from Mexico, penniless and
friendless. He could get no employment,
and when his plight was seemingly most
desperate, some white women who live out
near the barracks, found him and took him
In. They gaveTtlm shelter and food, and
a temporary home. Attempting, and fail
ing to requite their kindness by honest
methods, he broke open a house and stole
what he could And, and gave It to them.
The crime was fastened upon him by proof
not abundantly strong, and he was ar
rested. Fearing that an Investigation
might Implicate the women as the Inno
cent receivers of stolen goods, Dalton cut
short all inquiries by declaring himself the
thief he was charged with being. He re
ceived his five-year sentence with a smile.

know that you have In them the great
est Ladies’ Wheel on the face of the
earth. They have more room to mount
than any other machine made.
THE TILTING SADDLE
is another great thing, as you have
no saddle pummel to Interfere. Then they
are elastic, which relieves you of that
great vibration which every other wheel
has.
LUTHY BICYCLES
AND
CRAWFORD BICYCLES
are great ones. The former the
most wonderful wheel made. The latter
nothing on the face of the earth can
touch it at the price.
out. The negroes afflicted with the vario
loid are persons who came there tramping
and were promptly picked up by the au
thorities and sent to the pesthouse. The
sanitary condition of the city is excellent
and there is no danger of any more serious
form of the malady developing. The pest
house is situated outside of the town in
the country. There have been no deaths
from the disease.

Times-Unlon: A mocking bird has for four
years, this being his fifth, during the fall
and winter, been coming regularly In the
morning, about 6 o'clock, for his break
fast to Capt. Elmore’s. He flutters against
and pecks the window panes and makes
noise enough to wake a person. He Is
very tame and, though permitting one to
approach within two feet of him, will not
come entirely within reach. He always
disappears in the spring, but to return
in the. fall. Last winter he did not come
at all, and it was feared he was dead.
This fall, however, strange to relate, upon
the very morning of the presidential elec
tion. he came tapping at the window as
naturally as if he had never been away.
The captain was, of course, much delight
ed to see his pet again, and told some
of his friends that, never having named
him, his name should depend upon the
result of the election, as his bird had
come back to “vote." Capt. Elmore savs
now that he ’ Intensely disgusted that

Palatka special to Jacksonville Citizen:
Hugo Benedlx, a Frenchman of gentle
manly appearance and seemingly well ed
ucated, arrived here some time ago from
New York. He was accompanied by a
rather good-looking woman of the bru
nette type. After they had been here
several weeks they bought a home at Oak
Villa, this county, and lived there, sup
posedly as man and wife. All seemed
to go well till Monday, when a stylishly
dressed lady entered County Judge Coxes
ofllce, and stated in broken English that
she desired the arrest of Hugo Ilenedlx.
She produced a photograph of him, and
declared that she was his lawful wife.
A warrant was sworn out, and Sheriff
Hagan went to Ouk Villa and arrested
Benedix. Madeline Eder, his companion,
came In on the mall boat. Benedix and
his wife No. 1 met Tuesday morning In
Judge coxes office, where a very ani
mated conversation was held in French.
The accused and his wife No. 2 were ar
raigned Tuesday before Judge Coxe for
examination and held under bond of 9150
each to appear at the next term of the
criminal court. Wife No. 2 returned to
Oak Villa, and Benedix remained In the
city with wife No, i
