This woman says that sick
women should not fail to try
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound us she did.
Mrs. A. Gregory, of 2355 Lawrence
St., Denver, Col., writes to Mrs.
Pinkham:
“ 1 was practically an invalid for six
years, on account of female troubles.
I underwent an operation by the
doctor’s advice, but in a few months I
was worse than before. A friend ad
vised Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound and it restored me to perfect
health, such as I have not enjoyed in
many years. Any woman suffering as
I did with backache, bearing-down
pains, and periodic pains,should not fail
to use Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound.”

TRAFFIC IS AT A STANDSTILL
Trains Annulled on Many Roads—
Guthrie's Water Plant Submerged
—Rescuers Use Boats to Reach
People.
Guthrie, Okla.—As as result of a
48-hour downpour in the valley of the
the Cottonwood river and its tribu
taries, the Cottomvood river over
flowed here Sunday afternoon. Sev
eral hundred homes are partially un
der water in West Guthrie and 3,000
people are homeless.
The river at 6 o'clock was one foot
higher than it has ever been in its
history and rising 12 inches an hour
Hundreds of people who refused to
get out of the flooded district, believ
ing that the river would not rise as
rapidly as it did, fired shots of dis
tress before sunset Sunday night, and
hundreds of boats with an army of res
cuers brought the tardy ones to places
of safety. It is believed that a few
persons are still in their homes, but
nothing definite is known.
So rapid was the rise in the Cotton
wood that 20 head of cattle in the
flooded district w’ere drowned before
they could be gotten out of the water.
Street car service is completely at a
standstill. The city’s water plant is
under water.
Five thousand dollars’ worth of cot
ton belonging to the Farmers’ Oil Mill
was washed away downstream and 2,
000 bales are still in the water. The
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe round
house and shops are inundated.
All railroad trains in and out of
Guthrie have been annulled. Near
Seward, Okla., the Santa Fe tracks are
out and the railroad bridge at Red
Rock has been washed away. The Mis
souri, Kansas and Texas and the Fort
Smith and Western railroad reported
many miles of track out near this city.
The Denver, Enid and Gulf train is
waterbound at Crescent. The eastern
Oklahoma trains are being held at
Stillwater.
According to reports reaching this
city, many miles of track on these two
roads are either washed out or so com
pletely under water that it is impos
sible to move trains.
Tell of Rankin’s Death.
Union City, Tenn.—The 15 indict
ments returned Saturday by the Grand
Jury investigating the Reelfoot lake
night rider outrages include only Bob
Huffman, Bob Lee, Sam Applewhite,
E. Cload, Tom Johnson, Garrett John
son, Jesse Carter and Sam Ransom,
the eight men now in jail at Nash
ville. Each is charged with the mur
der of Capt. Quentin Rankin, and, in
addition, Tom Johnson is charged with
capital offense of assault while mask
ed, with a deadly weapon, on Fred
Burdick and Walter Pleasant.
One man’s testimony before the
Grand Jury Saturday in detail gave
the death scene of Capt. Quentin
Rankin.
When he had been pulled up once
by the rope the night riders let him
down and told him they would give
him five minutes in which to pray. He
told them he did not need the five
minutes’ prayer for himself, as he had
been praying for 20 years. When
they again made their generous offer
he again declined, but he said he
would give that five minutes to them,
as they needed it and he did not.
They again pulled him up by the
rope and shot him.
Predict 12,800,000 Bales.
New Orleans.—The Times-Demo
crat’s estimate on the cotton crop of
1908 is 12,800,000 bales.
Yield by states:
Alabama, 1,200,000.
Arkansas, 900,000.
Georgia and Florida, 1,900,00
Louisiana, 500,000.
Oklahoma, 750,000.
Mississippi, 1,500,000.
North Carolina, 075,000.
South Carolina, 1,150,000.
Tennessee, 400,000.
Texas, 3,825,000.
Total, 12,800,000.
These figures relate to the actual
growth and are exculsive of linters,
repackes and similar additions.
The crop has been picked and mar
keted with great rapidity, but farmers
are inclined to hold the remnants for
better prices.
Sunday Theaters Closed.
Memphis, Tenn.—The fight to put
on the Sunday amusement lid here
took a new turn Sunday when the
performers in the various play-houses
refused to go on with their parts.
Up to Sunday the managers of the
theaters had been arrested every Sun
day, hut the orders of Mayor Malone
Saturday were to arrest both per
formers and patrons, as well as the
managers. Up to this time the police
had refused to take this step.
Twenty-One Chinese Escape.
San Francisco.—Twenty-one out of
116 Chinese, held at the Pacific mail
dock, pending the decision of the im
migration officials escaped from the
detention shed about 12 o’clock Sat
urday night.
Four of them were recaptured in
Chinatown Sunday and returned to the
dock and a vigorous search is being
made for the others. The orientals
cut the heavy wire netting over one
of the windows, sawed through the
iron bars and slid down a water pipe.
SEEMED WORSE EVERY DAY,
A Dangerous Case of Kidney Com
plaint and How It Was Checked.
Mrs. Lucy Quebeck, Mechanic St.,

and my back began
to ache continually.
Every day it seemed
worse. The least
pressure on my back
tortured me, and I
could not stoop with
out a bad twinge,
rhe kidney secretions passed irregu
larly with pain, and I bloated badly.
My head swam and spots flitted before
my eyes. One doctor said I was in
curable. However, I found prompt re
lief when I started using Doan’s Kid
ney Pills, and the troubles I have re
lated gradually disappeared.”

Smile’* Face Value.
Although most of us would hesitate

face value of the “modern smile,” we
certainly realize at times that it is a
form of currency which is depreci

nize the crude, official thing which
neither illuminates, cheers nor bridges
awful gaps of silence. It may savor
of suggesting a wave of imbecility to
declare that we ought all to smile
more, but it is certainly true that the
charm of a woman’s smile was once
esteemed even above beauty.

You cannot afford to experiment with your health. "When sick, or ailing, from any

were so swollen that I could not get

used five or six different remedies and
got no help, only when applying them
the burning was worse and the itching
less. For two or three weeks the suf
fering was intense and during that
time r did not sleep an hour at a time.
Then one morning I tried a bit of
Cuticura. From the moment it touched
me the itching was gone and I have
not telt a bit of it since. The swelling
went down and in two days I had my
shoes on and was about as usual.
