NARROWLY ESCAPED DEATH.
Vigorous Health Is the Great Source of
Power to Inspire and Encourage—
All Women Should Seek It.
One of the most noted, successful and
richest men of this century, in a recent
article, has said, “ Whatever I am and
whatever success I have attained in
this world I owe all to my wife. From
the day I first knew her she has been
an inspiration, and the greatest help*
mate of my life.”

Dear Mrs Pinkbam:
“ Ever since my child was born I have suf-
; fered, as I hope few women ever have, with in-
: flammation, female weakness, bearing-down
pains, backache and wretched headaches. It
affected my stomach so I could not enjoy my
meals, and half my time was spent in bed.
“ Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
made me a well woman, and I feel so grateful
that I am glad to write and tell you of my
narvelous recovery. It brought me health,
new life and vitality."—Mrs. Bessie Ainsley,
611 South 10th Street, Tacoma, Wash.
What Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound did for Mrs. Ainsley it will
do for every sick and ailing woman.
If you have symptoms you don’t un
derstand w r rite to Mrs. Pinkham,
daughter-in-law of Lydia E Pinkham,
at Lynn, Mass. Her advice is free and
always helpful.

! -j, via St. Petersburg, Jan. 31.—Gen i
eral Griaznoft, chief of the staff ot |
the viceroy of the Caucasus, was mur
dered in a most dramatic and auda- j
j cious manner. The assassin evident- ^
ly had studied the habits of his vie
I tim and lay in wait behind a wall of
[ the Alexander garden, opposite the |
! entrance of the palace, where a cai |
riage was drawn up to take the gen-1
eral for his daily drive.
As all suspicious persons are liable
to be searched in the streets by the
police and military patrols, the assas
sin impersonated a priest, carrying the
homo with which he committed the
crime concealed in a pint can. He
was thus enabled to approach the sen-
Avalanche of Dirt and Rock Crashed
on Pennsylvania Train.
Pittsburg, Pa., Jan. 31.—The Steu
benville express on the Panhandle di
vision of the Pennsylvania lines nar
rowly escaped a disastrous accident
Wednesday when tons of earth and
rock, loosened by rain, came crashing
down the side it Duquesne heights j
on the souh side of tire city, covering
the railroad tracks with 5 feet of
debris.
The avalanche of earth and rock
struck the front part of the express
train, demolishing a portion of the bag
gage car and breaking many windows
in the coaches.
The train was quickly stopped and
the passengers were brought into the
city on street cars. No one was In
jured. Had the train been a few sec
onds late the force of the landslide
would have struck it, causing, per
haps, a serious acident.
AUSTIN AGAIN A FREE MAN.
To be such a successful wife, to re
tain the love and admiration of her
husband, to inspire him to make the
most of himself, should be a woman’s
constant study.
If a woman finds that her energies
are flagging, that she gets easily tired,
dark shadows appear under her eyes,
she has backache, headaches, bearing-
down pains, nervousness, irregularities
or the blues, she should start at once
to build up her system by a tonic with
specific powers, such as Lydia E. Pink- G'V posted at the gates of the park and

camp, was a shining target for the
crouching assassin when he emerged
from the palace. As the general
stepped into the carriage the man
sprang on the wall, swung the can by
cord, and the bomb, as if thrown from
a sling with marvelous precision, sped
straight to the mark and struck the
general on the neck.
A flash of fire and a terrific explo
