2825 Keeley St., Chicago, III., Oct,, 2, 1902. I suffered with falling and con gestion of the womb, with severe pains through the groins. I suf fered terribly at the time of men struation, had blinding headaches and rushing of blood to the brain. What to try 1 knew not, for it seemed that I had tried all and failed, but 1 had never tried Wine of Cardui, that blessed remedy for sick women. I found it pleasant to take and soon knew that 1 had the right medicine. New blood seemed to course through my veins and after using eleven bottles I was a well woman. Mrs. Bush is now in perfect health because she took Wine of Cardui for menstrual disorders, bearing down pains and blinding headaches when all other remedies failed to bring her relief. Any sufferer may secure health by tak ing Wine of Cardui in her home. The first bottle convinces the pa tient she is on the rOad to health.

PUT PISTOL BALL THROUGH TEMPLE Edgar Benford, of Atlanta, Takes His Life. TRAGEDY AT GRANT PARK Visionary ft Promises Regarding Financial Matters That He Had Broken Made Him De spondent and with Derringer He Ends His Life. Atlanta, Sept. 9.—Edgar A. Benford, representing the Deering Harvester Machine company, with offices at 400 Austell building, killed himself at 8:30 o’clock this morning in G-rant park. A note vas found on his person in which he stated that he had made many promises to friends regarding financial matters and had broken them all; that his Masonic friends had up held him and had helped him in one emergency and another until the pow er of humiliation had become too great for him to bear, and he had de termined it was best for him to end his life. Benford shot himself through the right temple with a 44 caliber derrin ger. At the time he killed himse- is believed he was in a sitting posi- ! tion. When found this morning his right arm was doubled up under his body, clasping the derringer. Death appeared to have been instantaneous. On his person were also found let ters to friends and one to his father, who is a prominent and wealthy bank er, of Greenfield, Ind., which is the home of the dead man. At 3:30 o’clock this morning Patrol- men Moss and Smith heard the shot which ended Benford’s life. They i were making their regular rounds in ideals of art are no t)i e j>ark when the firing of the pistol ^permitted to inter- was heard near the old deer enclosure, fere with the prac- some distance below the band stand in tical production of the park. They immediately proceed ed to the place, but heard nothing to attract their attention, and could find no trace of the work of Benford. They then left the place, and a few minutes before 6 o’clock this morning a negro laborer, passing through the park, found Benford’s body cold in death on the ground. The body was taken in charge by the park authorities and an undertak er notified. Last night at 6 o’clock an unknown man entered the 'Piedmont hotel and asked for a room. His appearance forbade the clerk to allow him to reg ister and he Immediately left the hote.l This is supposed to have been Ben- : : d, although he has not yet been identified, a* the same man. During the greater part of yester day Benford was seen at the park. He borrowed a knife from an employe to I open a can of sardines, which he ate with some cracker*. Benford was a 32d degree Mason. He was a member of the Mystic Shrine and stood high with his fellow crafts ( men. Benford had been regarded as a man of high Integrity. He was about 35 years of age. Within 10 feet of the place where Benford took his life, two other sui cides have occurred. Three years ago a man named Bean killed himself in almost this identical spot. Ten years ago another man, named Bennett, com mitted suicide at the same place. High Grade Photographs.

BAKER MYSTERIOUS ROBBERIES SOLVED t The most brilliant gem that was ever takes from the earth would not amount to much if there were no peo ple to appreciate its beauty end to vie with each other for its possession. The most spacious store, the most carefully selected stock of goods, the clever est corps of clerks will not avail unless people know about them. Knowledge of such things is spread in various ways. A passerby may drop in and be impressed. He may tell his neighbor, and he in turn may tell somebody else. That is one way, and there are some merchants who today think it is good enough. Modem develop ment, however, has sup plied in newspapers the best means. They go into ev ery home in the land, how ever humble, however mag nificent. Through them all of the information can be supplied, not to one, but to thousands. Are you using this paper l» the best advantage? COTTON CROP IS SHY. Million Bales Cut From Same Say* G. W. Truitt. LaGrange, Ga., Sept. 9.—Hon. Geo W. Truitt, Troupe county’s well known and largest farmer, who is known , throughout the state as an authority on matters agricultural, estimates that the severe drought throughout the cot ton belt for the past ten days has cut a million bales from the south’s ootton crop. Accordng to Mr. Truitt’s estimate the ten days of dry weather have cost the farmers of the south $50,000,000, ! calculating that the staple will bring $50 per bale during the entire season, which is quite a conservative figure at the present prices. This makes the daily loss to the farmers from the drought $5,000,000. IN CONSTANTINOPLE. Big Loss In Alabama. Montgomery, Ala., Sept. 9.—Oora- missioner of Agriculture R. R. ’Poole states that the cotton crop has de teriorated 25 per cent in the cottoil belt of Alabama within the past two weeks. The commissioner has Just returned from an extended trip through the cotton belt. “The hot weather, the boll and army worm are injuring the crop, and will cut it short,” said the commissioner. "I predict that the next report will show a worse aver age condition of the crop than we have had for years.” Killed in a Powd'sr Mill. Birmingham, Ala., Sept. 9.—An ex plosion of loose powder in the coin ing department of the Birmingham Powder company’s plant at Boyles re sulted in the death of R. Baggett and the fatal wounding of J. Goodlet, both laborers. They were the only per sons about the place at the time of the accident. An explosion at the same mill two months ago killed three men. How Amerii'an I.onratlon la Honaed and Our Miiilator Gnardrd. The news that an “additional kavass, or detective,” has been stationed at Minister Leiahman’s door in Constanti nople might convey an Inaccurate im pression. says the New York World. The kavass is no “plain clothes man”—by all the difference of braided jacket, baggy embroidered trousers, fierce sword and general martial get- up. He is, however, a brave fellow’, presumably a Croat, faithful as a watchdog and keen of mind and vision. An extra kavass does not mean any great access of state. The American minister even at the porte puts on little “side.” The envoys of Germany and Great Britain are housed in huge de tached palaces that might serve at a pinch quite as well in the way of for tresses as the Imperial Ottoman bank did not so many years ago. But the American legation is modestly housed like a lawyer’s office, and the minister is attended when he goes abroad usu ally by a single kavass. So much as that is necessary to im press the eastern mind with a sense of his importance, and more than that might detract from It. Abdul Hamid, in a glittering throng of ministers and generals, once said with sly humor to an American minister, “You and I are the only plainly dressed men here.” In giving warning to the pow’ers that his capital was infested by agitators so that the legations may be better pro tected the sultan has shown a most correct and friendly attitude. By every means in his power he ev V.ently wishes to avoid all occasion of offense and all danger of insult or outrage to for eigners. AUTOMOBILE RACE TRACK.

Southern To Build New Line. ..; Gainesville, Ga., Sept. 9.—It ap pears that the Southern Railway com pany will build a line of road from this city to the Pratt, Baldwin & Scott pyrites mines, near Dahlonega. The mine management agreed to furnish 10O tons daily of ore for a specified time, and to bear the expense of the survey if the estimate of construction did not exceed $300,000, and tho South ern agreed to build the line if the fig ures did not exceed $300,000. The survey ha* Just been completed, the estimate of cost to build carefully made, and the figures were $265,000. It seems from this report that the Southern road will build the line. Berlin Ilankern, to Flense Kaiser, Finn Course XIne Miles Coni;. To gratify the kaiser’s ambition for German automobile supremacy the bankers of Berlin are planning what will be the first and finest automobile race track in the world, says the Chi cago News. The course will be laid out in the outskirts of the capital at a cost of $225,000. It will be built in the shape of a figure “8,” about nine miles long and 155 feet wide where the loops of the “8” join. Toward the home stretcli the track will be depressed to avoid collisions be tween machines coming from opposite directions. The roadway will be con structed after the pattern of tho best macadamized country roads in order that racing may take place under con ditions as nearly as possible identical with those that prevail on public high ways. The dangers of highway racing, however, will be absent from the new ttack. Hare Orchid IIiiIIin From Manila.
