8 v.- P. It is a weC-known fact that Lydia H Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has cured more women than any othei remedy. It therefore must be ths best possible medicine for female ills. But some women make the mistake of thinking- that they will try some thing else, simply because it is new. That mistake is often a fatal one fatal to the health and happiness o! the experimenter. Is it not foolish to risk the possible results of such experiments? Is it not better to depend upon a medicine which has been tried successfully for thirty years, and which has never been found wan ting-? Do not therefore let any one persuade you to try some thing' which they say is just as pood. It cannot be just as good. Mrs. Pink ham's Compound is the best, and there can be only one best. This is not n mere assertion, but is a positive fact admitted by hundreds of regular physicians. Rely on your own common sense, and Mrs. Pinkham's life-long experi enoe, and you will make no mistake. Don't experiment with your health, but take a mediVIne that you know is good, and is l.seked by such letters -s these to Mrs. !i?ikham : Yield ' io ham's Voi-ziizthla Com pound "I had been in por health for twenty yenrs, having- inflammation of ovaries t.nI v. o ? .!. treacle.

THE W1LM1K WADDELL MASS MEETING - WILMINGTON'S DISTINGUISHED CITI ZEN ENDORSEO FOR U. S. SENATE. Resolutions Passed Ratifying the Ac tion of the Democratic Convention, of New Hanover County A Waddel Democratic Club Organized. Yesterday and last night were very inclement- It rained and was stormy, but notwithstanding- that fact, V large number of citizens last night attended the mass meeting called by supporters of the Hon. Alfred M. Waddell for tr. purpose of ratifying the action of the democratic convention of New Hanover county in endorsing Colonel Waddell for the United States senate. The Sec ond Regiment band was irr attend ance and rendered several splendid se lections. The meeting was called to order by Mr. C. W. Yates, and on motion of Mr. H. P. West, seconded by Mr. H. M. Foard. Mr. James C. Stevenson was elected chairman of the meeting. The representatives of the press were made secretaries. ' Mr. Stevenson upon taking the chair made a stirring' speech. He returned thanks for the honor bestowed upon him and stated the object of the meet ing. He then went on to speak about New Hanover's eminent citizen and candidate for .tke United States senate. He spoke of the lofty character and ability of Colonel Waddell, referred to his past achievements In public life and eulogized him as the hero in the "revo lution" in Wilmington in 189S when New Hanover set the pace for thestata in th redemption, of North Carolina from negro rule. In alluding to Colo nel Waddell as a. hero in the great po litical campaign of 1898, Mr. Stevenson said he was a descendant of a hero and it reminded him that "history re peats itself." He then related the he roic and patriotic act of Colonel Hugh Waddell and John Ashe on the 22nd of February, 1765, when they headed a force of men and went to Brunswick and notified the commander of His Majesty's ship that he could not land In Brunswick county any of the infa mous stamps which the king of Eng land required the Americans to fix as a tax on certain articles. They then went to Fort Johnson, at the mouth of the Cape Fear, where the town of Bmithville (now Southport) was lo cated, and took possession of it, com pelllng the British force to retire, not. however, before they had spiked the guns. This same Waddell and Ashe came to Wilmington and hunted up Houston, the British tax officer, but he (took refuge at the house of Governor Tryon They, however, caught him and taking him to tha pRR ball compel 1. him to resign his office and, swear that he would not receive and distribute tne stamps. A few years afterwards we see that General Hugh Waddell at the head of an army sent against the regu lators. Mr. Stevenson went on to say that Colonel Alfred Moore Waddell, a descendant of General Hugh Waddell, in his great speech at the opera house in 1898, led the way for the redemption of the state. In that great speech Colonel Waddell advised that in spite of all opposition the state should be forever relieved from negro domiraa tlon. That great speech went ringing all over the state and set it on fire for the redemption of North Carolina. Mr. Stevenson further said that Col onel Waddell, New Hanover county's candidate for the senate, was a fit de Bcendant of ancestors with a heroic record of over 100 years. He had ably represented this district in congress for six years, and spoke of the splendid record he then made. He declared that Colonel Waddell is fitted by education, refinement and acquirement for the United States "senate. This, therefore, is the man we offer the state as sen tator. .Applause greeted Mr. Stevenson's remarks throughout, and enthusiasm was manifested at all his allusions to Colonel Waddell. When Mr. Stevenson finished his re marks. Colonel F. W. Kerchner moved that a committee of three on resolu tions 'be appointed. The motion was adopted and thereupon Captain T. D. Meares, Captain A. L. DeRosset and Ed. S. Battle, Esq., were appointed as such committee. They then retired. In the absence of the committee, calls were made for B. G. Empie , Esq. He responded in an excellent speech. He also eulogized Colonel Waddell, and spoke of his record in congress, his eloquence, his ability as a lawyer and his thorough going record as a demo crat. He also said Colonel Waddell was ever in the forefront whenever a crisis presented itself, and he gave him praise as the hero of the "revolution" of 1898. His remarks were enthusias tically applauded. The committee on resolutions having returned, Captain DeRosset said they were ready to make a report. Captain T. D. Meares then: reported and read the following resolutions: THE RESOLUTIONS. Whereas, the New HanoVer , demo cratic county convention has (heretofore endorsed the candidacy of Alfred M. Waddell for the United States senate, and such endorsement has met with the approval of the democratic voters of New Hanover; and. Whereas, Alfred M. Waddell has performed his every duty faithfully as a soldier in the confederate army, as a mtember of congress from this dis trict, and as a prominent citizen; and. Whereas, we believe Mm to be emi nently fitted 'by his character, ability and experience to represent this state in the United States senate; and, Whtereas, without wishing to detract from the merits or claims of other candidates, we believe that the glori ous success of 1900 was made possible by the action of the New Hanover democracy in 1898, in which acton he took a prominent part; therefore belt Resolved, That we, democrats of New Hanover county. In mass meeting as sembled do ratify the .action of the New Hanover county democratic con vention in endorsing Col. Alfred M. Waddell for the United States senate, and do pledge our earnest support to him in the primaries in November. After reading the resolutions Captain Meares spoke briefly, also speaking in adulation of Colonel Wed dell. Mr. J. H. Boatwright moved that the resolutions be adopted. In the mean time the chairman asked if there were any remarks to be made on the reso lutions. Calls were made for the Hon. George Rountree, and he responded with a brief speech. He expressed him self as in hearty sympathy with the meeting. He said all four of the can didates for the senate were good and able men but while he did-not intend any disparagement of either, Colonel Waddell was more eminently fitted for the senate than either of them. He spoke further of Colonel Waddell's G-TO JN MESSE-rfGElt, ability and his record in congress, and closed amid very hearty applause. Colonel Walker Taylor was called on and he also made excellent remarks for New Hanover's candidate. The motion of Mr. Boatwright to adopt the resolutions were unanimously adopted. Mr. Martin O'Brien then made a ringing talk for Waddell. and moved that the meeting be resolved into the "Waddell Democratic Club." The mo tion was unanimously adopted. Mr. J. C. Stevenson was elected president. and Captain A. L. DeRosset and Ed. S. Battle as secretaries. On motion of Mr. O'Brien, the chair man at his leisure will appoint an ex ecutive committee of three from each ward and township in the county shall take charge of Colonel Waddell's interests, and have full power to act. So far as New Hanover is concerned, Mr. O'Brien said, he was satisfied that Colonel Waddell will get 2,700 votes out of the 2,800. Remarks were made by Ex-Mayor S .IL Fishblate and Dr. L. B. Sasser, after which the meeting adjourned. COUNTY FINANCES Monthly Report of County Treasurer The Receipts- and Disbursements of Funds During the Month of Sep tember.

A special meeting of .(the board of commissioners of New Hanover coun ty was held yesterday afternoon. All the members were in attendance Chairman McEachern and Commission ers Holmes, Alexander, Vollers and Montgomery. v As there has been more or Hess com plaint of the sanitary condition of the Jail, the board ordered that Dr. W. D. McMillan, the county superintendent of health, officially "visit and inspect the Jail once a week. The commissioners made (inquiry into the recent escape from Jail of three prisoners and ques tioned Sheriff Walter G. Mac Rae and Jailer J. W. Mlilis labout the matter. It appears that sometimes dur ing the warm weather the prisoners are given the freedom of the corridors and it is an leasy matter for them to es cape if they set their heads to it.v The commissioners simply inquired into the facts. They construe that the Jail means the cells and cages and that when a prisoner is sent to Jail he should be locked in a cell or cage; that within the walls of the Jail building is not strict ly speaking .the iaU, as (the walls are not built specially for the safe keeping of prisoners, the cells and cages being for that, purpose. On account of physicalt disability, the board exempted J. H. Mann from li cense to peddle medicine of his own manufacture. An application from the Atlantic Coast Line for a correction of the valu ation of certain of its property for taxation, was referred 'to the county attorney.

A Wilmington Boy Saw Something of the' Calamity at Galveston Writes a Letter Telling What lie Experienced " in a Wal k About Town Mr. Willie Gilbert, a Wilmington boy who, is chief oiler on the United States revenue cutter Onondago, which was ordered to Galveston after the great storm disaster, , writes a graphic letter to his brother. Mr. C D. Gilgert, of this city, as to the sights he saw. His let ter is dated September 23rd. He eays, owing to the wreckage In the harbor, the cutter slowly and cau tiously steamed her way in. Far out the wreckage began to be noticed. When the cutter got into tiie harbor he saw sailing vessels high and. dry in the streets, the great grain elevators In ruins, hundreds of houses demolished, debris strown for miles In heaps from five to fifteen feet high, and fires burn ing everywhere to cremate the dead bodies of the victims or tne awful ca lamity. He writes that he saw women, men. and boys piled In heaps and burned and among others a two year old baby. He saw a gang of negroes under a white man take the body of a beauti ful woman from a heap of debris. The boss of the gang, however, said "she's too pretty to burn," and he made the men dig a grave and bury her In the street, marking the spot and taking a description of the woman. Mr. Gilbert, while walking on the streets, heard some one ask a colored man how he was and he replied that he was unhurt but he lost his wife and eleven children. He talked with one man who saved himself and wife and five children by the most heroic efforts. He carried them through raging waters for several blocks, tying a clothes line from one chimney to another and then jroing back and taking one over at a time. He writes that the sight ci burning dead bodies was heartrending, and that the popular idea that a negro is super stitious about a dead body is exploded so far as Galveston Is concerned. He saw negroes, hardened to the work, pile one body after another on the fire's One negro told him he had burned his fifth body that day. The papers of Galveston are full of advertisements, men, women and chi.- dren advertising for relatives who have no doubt been burned or were swept away in the gulf. Mr. Gilbert says the work of rebuild ing Galveston has already been com menced, and is rapidly going on.

New York, October 12. R. g. Dun & Cos weekly Review of Trade tomor row will say: More seasonable weather had Im portant influence throughout the coun try, but the coal strike continued as the restraining factor in mislness. As speculation everywhere is on a small scale the efTect Is minimized. Lower prices recently for some iron products have been without disturbing force and the firmer market for printcloths and strong quotations for lumber show that in some directions in the great industries a small Increase In demand Is capable of raising prices. The situ ation still promises a recovery when politics and the strike are settled. Fear of tight money has made men hesitate, but higher rates result from the activity of the movement of cot ton at higher prices In the south. At the moment the movement of gold from Europe has tended to relieve the tension in New York, and gold Is still coming from Australia. Pig Iron production has been further reduced, according to The Iron Age. A gratifying feature is the evidence that supplies in consumers hand are low. Quotations of iron products are steady, and foreign buying continues, two contracts of importance being placed. Much disappointment was apparent among cotton traders when the official crop report appeared, for the anticipa tion of a gloomy report had put the price up to 11 cents. When the state ment Indicated a point improvement in Texas on September, prices dropped sharply. Domestic conditions are generally satisfactory and foreign crop news cheerful. Failures for the week were 223 in the United States, against 164 last year. The president will recommend to congress the payment for the murder of four Italians at Tallulah. La., about two years ago.
