What Women Should Know.

Every woman ought to know that there is an institution in this country where diseases peculiar to their sex have, for nearly thirty years, been made • specialty by several of the physicians connected therewith. This institution Is the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. In treating thousands of eases at that famous sanitarium there have been perfected medicines which form a regular scientific course of treatment for these prevalent and most distressing ailments. Dr. Pierce and his staff of skilled specialists, forming the faculty of the above institution, are at all times ready • to reply to letters from women suffering from obstinate, complicated, or long neglected diseases and and can be addressed, or consulted at the institution, free of charge. When Dr. Pierce published the first edition of his work, The People’s Common Sense Medical Adviser, he anpounced that after 480,000 copies had been sold at the regular price, $1.50 per copy, the profit on which would repay him for the great amount of labor and money expended in producing it, he would distribute the next half million free. As this number of copies has al-‘ ready been sold, he is now distributing, absolutely free, 500,000 copies of thiS most com- plete, interesting and j; COUPON i valuable common jj No. 112. ! sense medical work ever pub- k lished—the recipient only being required to mail to him, or the World’s Dispensary Medical Association, of Buffalo, N.

Outdoor Athletics for Preachers.

Sir Dyee Duckworth addressed a meeting of clergy in England the other day on clerical breakdown. He spoke first on clerical sore throat, and then of the line of breakdown all too common among the clergy—that of the digestive system. Sir Dyee Duckworth advised relaxation in cricket, golf or cycling, recommended a little wine, and deprecated excessive tobacco smoking.

BOLD TRAIN ROBBERS.

HOLD-UP ON THE CHICAGO AND Train Wai Banning Light and the Villaina Were Badly Fooled—Got $7.50 and Two Watches—Passengers Badly Scared but Not Molested. Bandits Near New Richmond. Five desperate bandits dynamited the express car on the Chicago and West Michigan passenger train, due at Grand Itnpids from Chicago at 10:30 p. m., near New Richmond, Tuesday night. The robbers secured only two watches and $7.50 in money, but their intentions were good. The Allegan County officers were notified, and with daybreak the woods in the vicinity of the hold-up were thoroughly scoured, and liberal rewards offered forthe apprehension of the robbers. Not only the Allegan County, but also the sheriffs Of Ottawa, Van Buren, Kent, and Kalamazoo Counties have been notified, and the officers say that, unless the robbers have a boat and escaped across Lake Michigan, they will be caught. The train was bowling along at a rapid rate. When rounding a curve at a place in the road that is lined with forest growth Engineer Debbie caught the gleam of a white light waved across the track. He saw by the reflection that the track was obstructed and brought the train to astop.

As the train was stopped a volley was fired into the cab, one shot narrowly missing the fireman, and the two men were ordered to come down. They refused to comply with the demand, and the robbers, only two of them in sight, did not insist upon it. The rear brakeman, Timothy Murphy, jumped off the train and ran back to flag any train that might be following. The robbers saw him jump and fired at him, inflicting a flesh wound in the thigh. Conductor E. E. Rice stepped out upon the platform to inquire what was the matter and was fired upon, but not touched. The passengers were not molested, but were dreadfully afraid they would be. Wdmen were in hysterics. The men looked for places to hide their valuables. Even if the robbers had decided to work the train they would not have found much without a careful search. The passengers were mostly tourists bound for the northern resorts, James Cannon, of Rock Island, and Herman Pew, of Chicago, were on board, and they gave,vivid descriptions of the wild scramble for places to hide valuables. Conductor Rice thinks the robbers were amateurs, as they" were" not disguised nos masked and made no effort at concealment. The leader was a middle-aged

man about five feet six inches, with a full beard. The other three were younger, -and all were roughly dressed. Brakeman Murphy was taken to Grand Rapids and had his wounds dressed. He is not seriously hurt. The passengers were in a desperate panic. The women crawled in behind seat backs and the men got in as inaccessible places os they could. The brakeman hastily returned to the coaches and locked the door after him. With the decks clear for action, the robibers turned their attention to the baggage and express car. Dynamite la Used.

The firing had alarmed Baggageman V. N. Vannetta and he had locked his door against the intruders. The robbers ordered him to open up. He refused. Then they applied «a stick of dynamite to the side door and blew the bottom of the car open. Mr. Vannetta concluded that he had done all that valor demanded and opened the door. The robbers #jqmediately demanded the key to the strong box, and when Mr. Vannetta declared he did not have it they used up another dynamite cartridge and burst it open. The strong box was empty and did not even contain a cent. The train did not carry any express.

The robbers left the car in disgust and held a heated argument whether or not to go through the passengers. They finally concluded not to do so, Conductor Rice representing that the passengers were mostly poor people who could not afford to lose what little money they had. The robbers relieved Mr. Rice of what small change he had, about $7.60, missing the well-lined pocket-book which Rice had thrown into the wood box. They also relieved the fireman and engineer of their watches and then with a pleasant farewell to the conductor they gave him permission to move on and disappeared in the woods. This train is patronized every day by wealthy citizens of Grand Rapids and Northern and Western Michigan, whoso business calls them frequently to Chicago.

The express messenger went out with a “feint” ear in the, afternoon and was returning on a “dead” trip. There were forty-two passengers. To make sure of a halt ties had been piled on the track half a length ahead of where the engine stopped. The baggage car was not disabled and the train proceeded, arriving at Grand Rapids half an hour late. Albert Antisdell, of Chicago, superintendent of the American Express Company, sai3 his company had lost nothing by the hold-up. “We had no messenger on the train,” said he. “Our night messenger went out on the train that leaves at 11:45.” “Will you send any detectives to the scene of the robbery?” “Yes, we’ll send some men over to help the officers in pursuit of the robbers.” The train was composed <ST an engine, baggage car, two passenger coaches, and a parlor car.

RAVAGES OF THE CHOLERA.

Europe and Asia Have Suffered— America Has Been Free. Through tWe energetic efforts of the health authorities in New York the cholera has not entered this country this summer and, as the senson is so advanced, it probably. will not do* so. Though we have been free from it in Europe Russia, Arabia, India, China, and Japan the disease ruged. It Is unfortunate that trustworthy statistics concerning it cannot be obtained from Russia, or from any of the other countries in which it exists, with the exception of Japan. It ravaged several of the western Russian provinces last summer; it did not entirely disappear last winter, and it has been epidemic since the early spring season. The cholera appeared in Arabia, on the border of the lied Sea, early in the spring, brought there, as in other years, by the Mohammedan pilgrims from India to Mecca. Alarming accounts of Its fatality were sent, out in the spring months and up to June, but nothing has been heard of It for some weeks, and its ravages have doubtless been allayed. ~

rs In China the extent ts which the cholera has prevailed can only be guessed at, but it is believed that the disease has been widespread. From the trustworthj statistics kept by the Japanese authorities it is learned that up to the close of July there had been 9,500 cases of the disease in Japan, more than one-half of which had proved fatal. This fatality may be regarded as part of the price paid by Japan for her victory over the Chinese, but that price was greater yet, for many of the Japanese soldiers who are yet in China have fallen under the disease. It has recently been epidemic over a large part of the Japanese empire. In some other countries besides those -here mentioned, including Mexico and Cuba, there have been eases of cholera during the year, but it has not been epidemic in any of them. It has been estimated by good authorities that the average yearly number of deaths from cholera the world over is close upon a quarter of a million. It is not known that in Russia alone last year there were nearly 100,000 cases of the disease, about 45 per cent, of which proved fatal; but the ravage|M>f- the disease among the Russians are flgbPas compared with that among Asiatics. Very likely it has been as widely prevalent in Western Russia, Eastern Austria and Turkey this year as it was iast year. ~ ~ -

CONDITIONS IN NEBRASKA.

Corn Promise's a Large Yield, Except in the State’s Garden Spot. A McCook, Neb., correspondent says: On crossing the Missouri River running to Lincoln, the Burlington land agents’ party found a prospect which, from an agricultural standpoint, could not be excelled. Corn is luxuriant and sturdy and every stalk shows large-sized ears sticking out from it. It is so far advanced that the uninitiated could be made to believe very readily that it is phst all harm from any source. _Notwithstanding its fine appearance, however, it bFnbt yqt out of danger of frost, and will not he for at least two weeks. A fine crop of oats has been reaped in this section. Much of it is still in the shock and a good deal of it has been stacked. It is thrashing out from thirty to fifty, bushels to the acre and will average about forty. The wheat crop has all been harvested, and farmers are now busy plowing their land preparatory to putting in another crop of winter wheat. Leaving Lincoln the outlook is much less promising. Between Waverly and Fairmont, a distance of sixty miles, is a stretch of country which has usually Been described as the garden spot of Nebraska. Crops have always been abundant here, however poorly they may have been in other parts of the State.—Lost year and this year have been the only known exceptions to this rule. Somehow this belt has suffered severely this year. It has rained copiously on all sides of it and all around it, but the clouds refused to give it a drop of moisture until too late to saye the corn crop. For a stretch of country sixty miles long and sixty miles wide the corn crop is a comparative failure. It will only run from a quarter to half a crop, averaging as a whole about one-third an ordinary crop. Oats have not fared so badly. They are thrashing out from thirty-five to forty bushels an acre. Heavy iqlns fell‘over this section at the end of last; week. They came too late, however, to gave the bulk of the corn. Very much of is wilted beyond redemption and a deal of it has already been cut for fodder. Wheat in this section is thrashing out fifteen bushels to the acre. West of Fairmont the scene aga-in changes and an ocean of waving corn, strong and luxuriant, is to be seen as far as the eye can reach in every direction. The crop from Hastings to the western boundary of the State is practically made, and nothing but a killing frost can now blight it. It will average not less than sixty bushels to the acre, and very many large fields .will yield fifty bushels. Alfalfa is a new crop here with which the people are delighted. All kinds of live stock eat it with relish, and it is proving to be fattening fodder. The first year it yields one ton to the acre, but after the third year it yields three crops a year, which foot up seven and one-half tons to the acre. It is worth in the market $5 per ton, but to feed cattle the results have shown it to be worth S7O per acre. It is the coming crop all along the flats of the Republican valley.

THE CUBAN WAR.

The Insurgents Making Headway in the Struggle for Freedom. Recent reports from Cuba indicate that the insurgent army is gradually encroaching on Havana. It is now on the outskirts of the great sugar district and is increasing its ranks daily. According to a letter from the Marquis de Santa Lucia, who some time ago joined the insurgents, the two divisions of the army number 25,000 men and 10,000 of these are well armed and splendidly equipped. One division is under Gen. Antonio Maeeo in

GENERAL ANTONIO MACEO.

Santiago, while Gen. Gomez commands another in Camaguey. Meantime the Spanish army is becoming daily more disheartened and there are numerous desertions to the ranks of the insurgents. Gen. Campos who, when he reached Cuba, announced that he would have the rebellion crashed in a couple of months has utterly failed to make any impression on the insurgents, although nearly 20,000 troops more than he asked for hare been sent him. The cry is still for more troops—a proof in itself that the rebellion is serious and that the Spanish forces to-day on the island are unable to cope with the plucky insurgents.

Pennsylvania Steel Company Reorganized.

The Pennsylvania Steel Company (reorganized) has determined to issue, shortly, separate certificates for the new issue, of preferred and common stocks separately in exchange for the full-paid rights to subscribe for the new preferred stock, the total issue of which amounts to $1,500,000. This, it is believed. will bring a measure of relief to many who were compelled to subscribe to the preferred stock under penalty of forfeiture of their holding of the old common stock. The new preferred stock, full paid, bears interest at the rate of 5 per cent, per annufn until October 15th, after which date it will -share in the earnings of the company up to 7 per cent. Each share of the preferred rights carries a bonus of two and one-half shares of common stock. An arrangement has been made with the reorganization committee by which the transfers of the new issue of common and preferred stock will be made at the office of the Pennsylvania Steel Company. The installments yet due on the partly paid rights will continue to be paid to the Girard Trust Company, as heretofore.

Gulls as Weather Prophets.

It is a widespread belief, both in Scotland and Ulster, that the line “Sea gull, sea gull, sit on the sand, it’s never good weather while you’re on land,” alludes to the well-known fact that when the bird flies out early and far to seaward, or remains pn the sand, fair \veatUef may _ heTooked sos; while if it takes a contrary course storms most frequently follow.
