Dewitt's vm Saba
Pinkham. of Lynn, Mass., is fully quali*
fiedto give helpful advice to sick women.
Read Mrs. Dimmick’s letters.
Her first letter:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham
“ I have been a sufferer for the past eight
years with a trouble which first originated
from painful periods—the pains were excruci
ating, with inflammation and .ulceration of the
female organs. The doctor says I must have
an operation or I cannot live. I do not want
to submit to an operation if I can possibly
avoid it. Please help me.”—Mrs. Mary
Dimmick, Washington, D. C.
Her second letter:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—
“You will remember my condition when I
last wrote you, and that tb j doctor said I
must have an operation or I could not live.
I received your land letter and followed your
advice very carefully and am now entirely
well. As my case was so serious it seems a
miracle that I am cured. I know that I owe
not only my health but my life to Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and to your
advice. I can walk miles without an acne or
a pain, and I wish every suffering woman
would read this letter and realize what you
can do for them.”—Mrs. Mary Dimmick, 59th
and East Capitol Streets, Washington, D. C.
How easy it was for Mrs. Dimmick to
write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass.,
and how little it cost her—a two-cent
stamp. Yet how valuable was the reply!
As Mrs. Dimmick says—it saved her life.
Mrs. Pinkham has on file thousands
of just such letters as the above, and
offers ailing women helpful advice.
Springfield, O., Feb. 28.—Sheriff Al-
: money at 12:45 a. m. wired Governor
Patterson the following
“Send all possible troops tonight
and hold others in readiness for to
morrow.”
Sergeant Ceager, the policeman hit
in the face with a brick, is in a serious
condition. The mob is stoning and
jeering the milita, but a shoy of bay
onets lias sufficed so far to keep the
rioters 6n the move. The rumor that
out of town troops are *momentarily
expected is having a quieting effect
upon the mob.

Springfield, O., Feb. 28.—At 9 o’clock
Tuesday night mob violence was
threatened here as the result of a
shooting in the railroad yards, early
in the morning, in which M. M. Davis,
a brakeman, was perhaps fatally shot
by two negroes, Preston Ladd, of
Belle Fontaine, and Edward Dean, of
this city. Ladd, who was wounded,
was taken to the hospital, where he
lies in a ward adjacent to his victim.
Dean was taken to Dayton after
a hurried conference of officials. A
mob of 1,000 men and boys formed
and marched to “The Jungles,” a local
ity inhabited by negroes, with the an
nounced purpose of burning that sec
tion.
Mayor Todd shortly after 9 o’clock
asked that companies B and E of the
Third regiment, Ohio National Guard,
be called out. The mob soon reach
ed “The Jungles," and battered one
house to pieces with stones and posts
used as battering rams.
A general fire alarm was sounded.
The sounding of the gongs served to
fill the streets with people and the
feeling in the crowds was intense.
At 10 p. m. the mob entered Kemp-
ler’s saloon on East Columbia street,
quickly looting It. Kempler and his
wife fled, leaving their three chil
dren asleep in a room over the sa
loon. The saloon was riddled with
bullets and stones, and ty was only by
the hardest efforts of the police and
firemen that a way was forced through
the mob and the children rescued.
After pillaging the saloon, drunk
enness was a feature of the riot. At
11 o’clock members of the mob broke
through a cordon of police and set fire
to a house in “The Jungles” which
was quickly burned down.
Sergeant Creager, who had charge
of the squad of police, was hit on
the head with a brick and seriously
wounded.
A request was sent out at 10 o’clock
for the Xenia military company.
At midnight six houses which had
been fired by the mob were burning
fiercely, and the police had apparently
lost control of the situation. Only sir
memebrs of the local militia respond
ed to the mayor’s call, and the Xenia
company, which was expected, had not
yet arrived.
At 12.16 a. m. the city authorities
succeeded in assembling parts of com
panies B and E, of the Third regi
ment, Ohio National Guard, which are
stationed here. The total force num
bered about 75 men. They were on
the scene of the fire, and pushed the
mob back both ways in Columbia
street, east from Water street and
west from Foster street. Just as the
troops arrived one more building was
fired. ar?S no efforts was made to save
It from destruction.
WILL MAKE REPARATION.
Por the Kllllrg of French Jesuit Mla-
scsonaries.
Pekin, Feb. 28.—The government
has instructed the governor of Nan
Cheng, province of Kiangsi, where, on
Feb. 25, six French Jesuit missionaries
and four British subjects were killed,
to punish severely all paRicipants
in the massacre and declares its will
ingness to make without question any
reasonable reparation demanded.
Many foreigners at Pekin know the
governor of Nan Cheng, and consider
him efficient and friendly. They be
lieve his version of the troubles and
credit his statement that he was un
able to prevent the disturbances.
American, British and German and
British gunboats are proceeding to
the nearest possible point to Nan
Cheng. The Yang Tse is seldom safe
beyond Po Yang lake. British and
German gunboats have been stationed
at the lake for the last t\yo years de
spite frequent Chinese protests that it
was an infringement of China’s sov
ereignty.
Peabody Refuses to Talk.
New York, Feb. 28.—“I decline to
discuss Mr. Astor’s aflairs in any
form,” said President Peabody, of
■■lie Mutual Life Insurance company,
when asked as to the truth of the re
port that William Waldorf Astor had
expressed his displeasure at Mr. Pea
body’s attitude in the Mutual Life-
Illinois Central controversy. While Mr.
Peabody would not make a statement
on the subject, it was said at the Mu
tual Life Insurance company’s office
that no such communication had been
received by Mr. Peabody from Mr. As
tor. Mr. Peabody is the New York
business representative of William
Waldorf Astor.
Fortune Await* Girl.
Spartanburg, S. C., Feb. 28.—Pauline
Webster, the yomig South Carolina
girl who created a sensation in Kan
sas City by marrying a woman and
being arrested on the charge of biga
my, but who was relased after a legal
battle of several days, passed through
here enroute to her old home at Gaff
ney. She was met at the station by
her brother, J. E. Webster, probate
judge of Cherokee county. Miss Web
ster had been missing from her home
for ten years, and her relatives
thought her dead. She will fall in
to possession of about 610,000 worth
of property upon her arrival at Gaff
ney, S. C.
Express No Apprehension.
New York, Feb. 28.—Banking institu
tions in this city doing business with
China express no apprehension over
tne disquieting news from the em
pire telling of riots. It Is not be
lieved by well advised persons here
that the uprising that are local disturb
ances will become general. One
house received a cable dispatch from
its representative at Shanghai saying
that no general disturbance is feared.
An official of the company said he be
lieved that the present troubles were
caused by the conciliatory policy of
the United States toward China.
Flying Clamps Caused Death.
Valdosta. Ga„ Feb. 28.—An unusual
and fatal accident befell Owen Thomp

son, a prominent farmer living 4 miles

head that he died 12 hours afterward
He never regained consciousness af
