This woman says she was saved
from an operation by Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
Lena V. Henry, of Norristown, Ga.,
writes to Mrs. Pinkham:
“ I suffered untold misery from fe
male troubles. My doctor said an opera
tion was the only chance I had, and I
dreaded it almost as much as death.
“ One day I read how other women
had been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound, and I decided to
try it. Before I had taken the first
bottle I was better, and now I am en
tirely cured.
“ Every woman suffering with any
female trouble should take Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.”

Seek Gunness Witness.
La Porte, lud.—Attorney Worden,
who is defending Ray Lamphere, now
on trial for the murder ot' Mrs. Bella
Gunness and her children, made pub
lic Sunday night a letter which he
declares was received Sunday by
special delivery by his law partner,
Mayor Lemuel Darrow. The writer,
whose full name and address is with
held by Mr. Worden, says that Mrs.
Gunness is alive, and that he was the
man who accompanied her to the
Gunness farm on July 9th, the date
on which D. M. Hutson and his
daughters say they saw Mrs. Gunness
and a man drive away in a buggy.
Mr. Worden Sunday night said he
had been trying all day to reach the
writer by telephone in order to have
him come to La Porte Monday to
testify, but so far he had failed to
find him.
From present indications the case
will go to the jury by Wednesday.
Abe Raymer is Free.
Springfield, 111.—After four hours’
deliberation the jury in the case of
Abe Raymer, alleged leader of the
mob in the race riots last August,
Sunday night returned a verdict of not
guilty. He was tried on a charge of
malicious destruction of property.
When tried several weeks ago for
murder in connection with the lynch
ing of W. J. Donnigan, an aged negro,
Raymer wras found not guilty. The
Grand Jury returned 117 indictments
in the riot cases and there has not
yet been a conviction, although a num
ber of cases have been tried. Sunday
night’s verdict is taken to mean a
callapse of the riot cases.
Fire Stopped Many Miners.
Edwardsville, 111.—A fire which for
three years has been smouldering in
the depths of a mine of the Donk Coal
Company at Maryville, walled off from
the main workings, Sunday afternoon
broke through its barriers and Sun
day night is burning fiercely. Four
hundred miners were compelled to
quit work while small bands are fight
ing the flames.
Three years ago the fire caused con
siderable damage. It was finally con
fined to one gallery and walled in,
the owners believing it would burn
itself out. Sunday’s outburst shows
the blaze has smouldered in the gal
tery an inese mumus.

IS NOTED EDUCATOR
PRESIDENT ELIOT HEAD OF HAR
VARD FOR 40 YEARS.
Dean of University Chiefs Tenders
Resignation to Take Effect Next
Spring—Is Father of Elective
System in Schools.
Boston—President Charles W. Bliot,
for years head of Harvard university,
has tendered his resignation. Presi
dent Eliot will be 75 years old next
March, and desires to be free from
the cares of office the remainder of
his life.
Although because of his age the res
ignation of President Eliot has been
looked forward to as a probability for
the last two or three years, the news
that he will retire in the near future
will doubtless cause surprise to thou
sands of Harvard graduates through
out the country. He is the dean of,
American university presidents, and
the general public, like Harvard men,
has grown to look upon him as an
educational institution not to be
changed suddenly. No university head,
indeed, probably is better known to
the public than President Eliot, and
his long administration of university
affairs, in its essential respects,
seems in keeping with Harvard’s spir
it and history.
President Eliot is in his seventy
fifth year, having been born in Bos
ton, March 20, 1834. He was fitted
lor college at the Boston Latin school
and in 1853 was graduated from Har
vard. From 1854 to 1858 he was tu
tor in mathematics and student in
chemistry at the university; in 1S58
he became assistant professor of
mathematics and chemistry in the uni
versity’s Lawrence Scientific school
and remained in that capacity five
years. Then he went to Europe and
studied chemistry and investigated
educational methods for two years.
Returning to the United States in
18G5, he became professor of analytic
al chemistry in the Massachusetts In
stitute of Technology, wrhere he re
mained four years. Again he went
abroad, to France, where he studied
a year and in 1869 he returned to
take up the presidency of Harvard.
At the time he became the head of
this old and wealthy seat of learning
and culture President Eliot was 35
Charles W. Eliot.
years old and had achieved a repu
tation as an authority on chemistry.
These two facts hardly qualified him
for the administration of a great in
stitution of learning, according to New
England traditions. Since their es
tablishment the principal colleges of
the east had been governed by clergy
men past middle life. It was some
thing of a shock to New England to
have a young man and a scientist be
come the head of Harvard. The idea
of young men and non-clergymen as
presidents has since become popular,
and this is largely due to the suc
cess of President Eliot’s administra
tion.
The name of President Eliot will
forever be associated with the de
velopment of the elective system in
American universities. He, possibly
more than anybody else, brought
about this system, which was for a
long time looked upon with suspicion
anil .1 it'trn of o n,l Viao nnt i’Ann ,1
universal acceptance, though to a de
gree its principles have been accepted
by nearly every one of our larger in
stitutions of learning. The system
differs fundamentally from the old
rigid curriculum of prescribed studies
in allowing a student to choose the
greater part of the studies he must
take to earn a degree. According to
President Eliot's views on the system
it promotes concentration and indi
viduality, equipping each student to
make the largest contribution to the
betterment of the race and combining
practical with theoretical culture.
It has been said of President Eliot
that he is “iirst. last and only a uni
versity administrator,” instead of being
first a great teacher or author or
scholar and secondly a great adminis
trator. He has the faculty, highly de
veloped. of co-ordinating the work of
many men toward a harmonious and
effective end, and he has a vigorous
and impressive personality that has
enabled him to carry out his ideas
without exciting opposition. His kind
liness of spirit and desire to put stu
dents on their honor as much as pos
sible have made him popular with
undergraduates to an extraordinary
degree.
One of his great achievements as
an administrator has been the steady
bettering of the Harvard professional
school. The Lawrence Scientific
school, the medical school and the
dental school have been greatly im
proved and, the law school's high
standard has been raised.

DOWN MISSOURI WHY
CANADA'S RESPECT FOR LAW
AND ORDER THE SUBJECT
FOR FAVORABLE COMMENT.
Those who have visited Canada are
always impressed with the strict ob
servance that is given to the laws
of the country, and the order that is
preserved everywhere. The editor of
the Gazette, of Fulton, Nev., recently
paid a visit to Western Canada.. He
was so impressed with the conditions
that he saw everywhere, that on his
return home he was inspired to write
as follows: "Reverence and respect
for law is a dominant characteristic
of the Canadian people. Wherever
one goes in Canada, whether east or
west, the law is supreme. The law is
obeyed because it is law, seemingly,
and not because violation carries a
penalty. Canada enforces the law and
makes every law effective. No coun
try is more free than Canada. In name
Canada is a dependency of the Brit
ish Crown. In fact, it is almost a
third republic. All its taxes are voted,
collected and expended by the Domin
ion and the provinces. The nominal
head of the Government is the Gov
ernor General, appointed by the Eng
lish Crown. Practically his only au
thority is to veto the acts of parlia
ment, which he scarcely ever exer
cises. Canada gives nothing to the
support of the English government or
the English king. She gives England
the advantage in trade regulations and
tariff laws, and in return receives the
protection of the British army and
navy. Canada enjoys the protection
without sharing in the expense.
"The sale of liquor is strictly regu
lated. None but hotel-keepers may
obtain license to vend the stuff, and
before a license can be secured an ap
plicant must prove good character and
provide twenty rooms in his tavern
for the accommodation of guests. The
bar-rooms close at 7 o’clock Saturday
evening and remain closed until Mon
day morning. The schools and churches
in Western Canada excite admiration.
Though new, Western Canada is not
godless. The finest buildings in every
town are the churches. Next come
the school houses.”
Turning to the wheat fields of West
ern Canada, the editor of the Laurel
(Neb.) Advocate of Sept. 17th says:
"I have often thought that the
reason that the characters of Charles
Dickens are so impressed upon the
minds of his readers is because he
dwells upon them so long and de
scribes them so minutely that by the
time one has waded through his long
drawn out stories they are so burned
into his brain that he can never forget
them. It was this way with the Cana
dian wheat fields. Had we only seen
a few the memory of them might
have worn away in time, but a long
drawn out experience such as we had
is sure to leave an ttneffaceable im
pression. Never while we live shall
we forget the Canadian wheat fields.
They call it the granary of the Brit
ish Empire, and we don't blame ’em.
Nobody who has seen these wheat
fields can wonder at their enthusiasm.”
It is worth while to record that these
fields have now been harvested, and
in many cases yields as high as for(y
and fifty bushels per acre have been
marketed, while the general average
has been away above 20 bushels per
acre. Oats and barley have also
done well, and the profits, the prices
of grains being high, have paid the
entire cost of the farms of many a
farmer. There is now 160 acres of
land given away, in addition to the !
160 acres that the homesteader may j
purchase at $3.00 an acre. Particu
lars of this as well as the lowest rail
way rates will be given by the Cana
dian Government Agent.

“foil have,” she returned serenely.
“You gave It lo n,y first husband and
me for a wedding present. When we
divided the things after the divorce he
kept the clock, and now he is sending
it back to us.”
“The Armless Man”
said, “It wasn’t money he wanted,
but. somebody to scratch his back.”
There are many with strong arms and
willing hands that have that same
yearning. Hunt's Cure will make back
scratching, or any other old scratch
ing, totally unnecessary. It knocks
out any itching sensation that ever
happened, and it does it right now.
