f i m "' v '_ ( v, . ♦sH- Try for Health) 222 South Peoria St., Chicago, 111., Oct. 7, 1902. Kiffht months apo I was so ill that I was compelled to lie or sit down nearly all the time. My stomach was so weak and upset that I could keep nothin® on it and I vomited frequently. I could not urinate without preat pain and I couched so much that my throat and luncs were raw and sore. The doctors pro nounced it Ilright’s disease and others said it was consumption. It mattered little to mo what they called it and I had no de sire to live. A sister visited me from St. Louis and asked me if 1 had ever tried Wine of Cardui. [ told her I had not and sho bought a bottle. I believe that it saved my life. I believe many women could save much suffer ing if they but knew of its value. Don’t you want freedom from pain? Take Wine of Cardui and make one supremo effort to be well. You do not need to be a weak, helpless sufferer. You can have a woman’s health and doa woman’s work in life. Why not secure a bottle of Wine of Cardui from your druggist to day?

C., August 26.—Accord ing to mail adv-ices from Shanghai aev oral hundred lives were lost la the great floods at Cheo Foo, briefly report ed by cable. After a thunderstorm with heavy rains, a cloudburst occurred and tor rents of water poured down on the town, rushing seaward and carrying houses, buildings, trees and people be fore it. * Stores and warehouses wore flooded by the sudden flood and the property loss will reach millions. The water swept with such force as |to sweep 400 tons of coal Into the sea. The bearh was strewn with wreckage and dead and’ presented an awful sight. Over 300 Chinese were known to be dead at Che Foo alone. No foreign ers are known to have been drowmed, but a sailor from the steamship New Orleans had a narrow escape. QUESTIONS UP TO WRIGHT.

Berlin, August 26.—Altenburg or | "Neutral-Morenot,” the little neutral | district, barely covering one and a luiU i square miles, and having a population of 2.500 souls, has ceased’ to be, Pnw- i sla having aurrendered her clums, caw ! enlng from the Napoloon/.c period, to Belgium, in view of a cash considera tion that at present is not disclosed. This nook of territory, where Hol land, Belgium and Prussia meet, be longed to Austria fom 1793 to 1814. Following the Napoleonic settlement, both Belgium and Prussia claimed Mo- resnot. They agreed to let the inhab itants rule themselves and! since then Moresnot has been practic*lly a repub lic governed by an elected mayor a/nri ten councilmen, the statutes being the code of Napoleon. The inhabitants had free use of the stamp# of either ciuntry, trade was absolutely free ano the people were exempt from mili tary service. Prussia and Belgium had a dispute over tho G&lmei ainc mines, located in Moresnot in 18&1, but it did not result in a change in the government, and the republic -got along well until a few months ago, when gamblers from Liege obtained the coun- cilmen’s consent to erect a gambling pavilion in Moresnot which was design ed to rival Monte Carlo. The conces sionaires agreed to build electric rail roads to neighboring towns, to main tain parks and various institutions, and to share in this way the profits of the i-oulette tables with every inhabitant. A casino was opened last week and the German and Belgium press contained reports of the distinguished persons surrounding the tables, especially rich youths of Cologne. The attention of both governments was drawn to the anomalous status- of the territory and a quick change o conditions resulted in an agreement that Urussia would sell her claims to Belgium, as the foreign office inform- eu The Associated Press last night. SIR THOMAS' PLAYMATE. Wonifin nt Mllln Inlnnd Remember* Rnrouet a* IJiirefoot Hog. In spite of thp change from a bare foot boy playing in the heather to a baronet, commander of a cup lifting flotilla, Mrs. Catharine Murphy, aged sixty, is sure she would recognize in Kir Thomas Lipton the playmate of her childhood, says the New York World. ‘‘I don’t know whether he would re member little Kittle Lindsay, which 1 was called in those days, but many’s the good romp we have had together when we were children,” the old lady- said. Mrs. Murphy is detained on Ellis Is hyid while the immigration authorities are trying to locate her two sons, whom she has traveled across the seas to visit. Mrs. Murphy told Peter Grogan of the Irish Immigration society, who is assisting her, that she keeps a little notion store in Glasgow, Scotland. After years of saving she got together enough money to come to this country in search of her boy-s, whom she has not seen in ten years. “My father’s name was Lindsay, and Sir Thomas Upton’s father kept n provision store next door to our house.” Mrs. Murphy said. "I used to play with him when he was a bright, bare foot boy, but none of us ever thought he would grow up to be such a great man. “All the people in Glasgow think the world of him, and every one is wear ing a shamrock there now. 1 am sure, as they have in years when he came here to race with your yacht. And maybe, after all,” the old lady said wistfully, “he will remember little Kit tle Lindsay.” DEER TO RUN AT LARGE. Set POLISH POPULATION U. S. CALLS OUT RESERVES.

To School Trustees. I can now make arrangements with the Central Campaign Committees to hold an Educational Meeting, or Rally, in two or three, .and possibly four different sections of the county. These meetings will be for all communities desiring to consolidate schools, build new school houses, levy special taxes, start libraries, or make any forward movement in the cause of education. If any school dis trict desires such help, please make it known to their trustees, and we can ar range a program. Through this committee I can aid the speakers to the extent of paying all traveling expenses. Now let us have a general educational revival as far and as much as we can. The children need it, v the county needs it, and it is our duty to th® maintenance of order in their assist in anything that will help our j respective towns. youth. Everyone should be, I believe, | interested in this matter. I will get the very best practical speakers available— preferring local talent. Let me hear from any district wanting such aid, es pecially the large school districts—Nos. 15, 12, 4, 16, 22 and the smaller ones where there is only one white school. I am sure a few meetings like this will be of great benefit to the entire people. J. L. Walker. Endeavors to Secure a Repnesentation In American Hierarchy. New Vork, August 26.—Documents have been received here from William J. D. Croke, private chamberlain to Pope Pius X, relating to the endieavors that are being made to secure for the Polish population in the United States a representation of their nationality in the American hierai'chy. This action opens again the contro versy which caused so much friction in 1900 concerning the Italian, SQavok, Lithuanians and Bohemian representa tion. Chamberlain Croke says the presence in Rome of the Rev. Wences- laus Kruszka, rector of St. Wences- iaus. Ripon, Wis., deputy of the Cath olic Polish congregations of the Unit ed States, is to obtain for the Cath olic Poles this representation. The applicants, it is stated, urge the ap pointment of Polish bishops, though they would be satisfied for the Herd of One Tlioasnnd to Be Free In i*enn.-tylvniiia. C. C. Worthington of New Y'ork will liberate from Buckwood park, his pre serve opposite Shawnee, within a few days, 1,000 deer, permitting them to go w here they please, says a Stroudsburg (Pa.) dispatch. The deer will be safe for the present, as they are protected by the game laws until Nov. 1. when deer may be taken for one month. There are now more than 2.000 deer in Buckwood, and if not liberated they will soon starve. Nineteen deer were placed in the park eleven years ago. They have multiplied so rapidly that the army of them now in the park represents merely the pro geny of the original nineteen animals placed there. The farmers in the vicinity do not relish the advent of the hungry four footed horde, fearing that the animals will damage the crops. Greek war. The enrollment of such large bodies of troops indicates the scriouslnes with which Turkey views the situation and her determination to use all the means at her disposal to repress the rebellion. Ibraham Pasha, the new commander of the troops, is a young and capable officer. Seven battalions have been despatched to Fiorina from Monastir. The valis of Monastir and' Saloniea Out of fourteen cardinals concerned, these deputies have seen eleven, the communication says, and they have been welcomed a>nd gratified with sub stantial agreement in each case and the matter will immediately be taken up by the new pope. Indiuii Womau Seeks Divorce. Two descendants of the savage Iro quois. living on the Tonawanda Indian reservation, near Buffalo, have gone to law, the stake being an absolute di vorce. The Indian wife is the plaintiff, but the copper colored husband makes counter charges in kind. The case has aroused much interest in the neighbor hood, as it i- said to be the first divorce action ever begun by Indians. About twenty years ago the Poodrys were united in marriage according to the custom of the Indians, and on May 20 1000, they were married again by the Rev. M. F. Tripp of Alabama, N. Y. They have six children. $150,000 Fire In Philadelphia. Philadelphia.
