Mrs. Barnard Thanks MRS. PINKHAM FOR HEALTH.

[umi to mm. hxijum mo.' xS,wa]%.> “ Deab Friend —I feel it my duty to express my gratitude and thanks to you for what your medicine has done for me. I was very miserable and losing flesh very fast, had bladder trouble, fluttering piins about the heart and would get so dizzy and suffered with painful menstruation. I was reading in a paper about Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, so I wrote to you and after taking two bottles I felt like a new person. Your Vegetable Compound has entirely cured me and I cannot praise it enough.”— Mbs. J. 0. Baknabd, Milltown, Washington Co., Mb. . A> lowa Woman’s Convincing Statement. **l tried three doctors, and the last one said nothing but an operation would help me. My trouble was profuse flowing; sometimes I would think I would flow to death. I was so weak that the least work would tire me. Beading of so many being cured by your medicine, I made up my mind to write to you for advice, and I am so glad that I did. I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable ‘Compound and Liver Pills and followed your directions, and am now well and strong. I shall recommend your medicine to all, for it eared my life.”—Miss A. P., Box 21 Abbott, lowa. {

WIND FAILS YACHTS.

FIRST OF THE CUP RACES A DISAPPOINTMENT. Boats Unable to Finish Within the Prescribed Time Limit—Contest Becomes Finally a Mere Drifting Match —Flaky Breezes the Cause. A fickle wind that blew by fits and starts made a fluke of the first of the races for the America’s cup between the

to win it back. Sir Thomas Lipton, a man of millions, whose boast has been that he never failed in anything he undertook, is the latest Britisher to try and win back the cup and re-establish English supremacy on the seas. Ever since the year 1851 there has been a silver cup twenty-four inches tall and weighing 100 ounces in possession of America’s yachtsmen, which Englishmen have eagerly coveted. This aged bit of metal represents the yachting championship of the world and was first won by the schooner America and subsequently defended with success by nine craft representing the flower of American yachts. In 1871 the schooners Columbia and Sappho jointly represented this country. On all other occasions but one boat carried American colors to victory. Ten contests

THE COLUMBIA.

have been sailed, ranging over a period of forty-four years. .The last series of races was sailed in 1895, when the sloop Defender beat Lord Dunraven’s cutter Valkyrie 111. The wind alone was to blame for the failure of Tuesday’s yacht race, neither the Columbia nor Shamrock being able to reach the line within the five and onehalf hours allotted by the rules as limit time. Everything that British or American skill could devise in the way of preparatory work was done long before the yachts were given the word to cut loose from their moorings and make sail for the Sandy,Hook lightship, the starting point of the race. The course -selected for Tuesday’s race was a sail of fifteen miles to windward or leeward and return. Aftef starting almost a minute behind her rival, Columbia had overtaken, passed her, and had rounded the- stakeboat two mln'utes ahead. On the run; home, Shamrock, by fine handling and good luck, had overtaken Columbia, had gained the lead, lost it again, anil gained 1 and lost it'again. When the five and a half hours, within which the rules said the boats must cover the course, had elapsed, the two were so near together that, an apple eould have been tossed from one to the other!

rock. They were on almost even terms when the 'whistles 1 were blown that announced the end of the time. Shamrock was perhaps a few feet, maybe a third of a leng'th, in the lead. Except for the failure to cover the course in the prescribed tinje, it was what the experts called a satisfactory race in every On the whole, it may be said that Columbia showed to better advantage, for on the run out over the fifteenmile course she* gained steadily, and on the beat back Shamrock had all the luck with the fickle breezes, and yet at the end was only on even terms with Columbia. Tuesday, according to the press reports, the wind was twice taken from the Columbia’s sails by the steamers that crowded around her and in .the last race the wash from a Mg steamer interfered with the navigation of one of the contestants. In view of the actual handicaps in the shape of excursion boats the official time allowances look ridiculous. It is something like handicapping * man in a bicycle race and then driving a coal wagon in front of him. And,iafter all, was no race because there was no | Ivi; nn mnnntAfni

For the tenth time in the history of the America’s cup the British Tuesday tried to win a battered piece of silverware. Its intrinsic value is only a few hundred sovereigns, yet hundreds of thousands of dollars have been spent in efforts

RETAINS THE ORINOCO.

Venezuela Wiae tbe Vital Point in the Boned rj I'iepute. The Venezuela boundary arbitration court, sitting in Paris, rendered its decision Tuesday. The court in effect splits the difference between the extreme claims of the parties. Venezuela retains the mouth of the Orinoco, which was the vital point of the controversy, yet tbe Venezuelans are already crying out that might has overcome right. On the other hand the English are very well satisfied, having obtained all they really expected. Venezuela saves Barima Point, the boundary line starting about thirty-five miles east thereof, thus preserving. the mouth of the Orinoco, besides a large tract of country within the Schomburgk line which England absolutely claimed. Great Britain on several occasions refused to consider arbitration regarding

territory within the Schomburgk line. This included the right bank of the Orinoco river, the command of which gave Great Britain control of the mouth of the great river. It was this claim that especially aroused the interest of the United States. If it was acknowledged, then southeastern Venezuela in a commercial and military sense would be subjected to the control of Great Britain. This was the crux of the controversy. The retention and complete control of the was essential to Venezuela’s independence. ’ . The decision of the tribunal, In addition to control of the Orinoco apd the coast line eastward, gives Venezuela all the territory westward of the Schomburgk line, which Great Britain diaimed, but was willing to submit to arbitration. In addition Venezuela gets 4,000 or 5,000 square miles in the interior eastward of the Schomburgk line in the territory that Great Britain would not originally submit to arbitration.

RESUME WAR ON FILIPINOS.

Lawtoii and Grant with Strong Armies Clear Trenches at Imus. The attacks of the Filipino insurgents on the American troops in Cavite province, in which one officer and a private have been killed and eleven privates wounded, had their sequel Tuesday when Gen. Grant moved out from Imus tqward Baeoor. Gen. Lawton drove the insurgents up the Imus road and crossed the river. Meanwhile three companies of the Fourth infantry advanced from an opposite direction on Imus and soon the island between Baeoor and Imus and the river banks was clear of rebels. The enemy fell back on San Francisco de Maiabon and Cavite Viejo. One American officer and a private were wounded. The scene of the operations described above to in Cavite province, between Bacoor and Imus. Baeoor is on the shore of Manila bay, southeast and across Bacoor bay from Cavite. Imus is about eight miles directly south of Baeoor. Cavite Viejo lies at the bottom of Baeoor bay, south of Qfcvite. San Francisco de Malabon to about eight miles south of Cavite Viejo and the same distance west of Imus. The rebels who have been annoying Gen. Grant’s forces came from the west end of Cavite province and from south of Imus. They have plainly been trying to break through the American line from Imus to Baeoor, so as to get into the country directly south of Manila and toward Laguna de Bay. The central part of Cavite province is cut'up by the affluents of the Zapote, Baeoor and Canar- , chite rivers, all of which fall into Manila bay east of the Cavite peninsula. The “island” spoken of is formed by the Baeoor river apd a branch of fta main affluent, the Tibagar, which rise in the country between Perezdasmarinas and Laguna de Bay and unite about threemiles south of Baeoor. ? V When the Americans advanced into Cavite province the rebels made their stand at the Zapote river, were routed, and fled south and west. The Americans then advanced through Baeoor and San Nicolas and Imus to Perezdasmarinas. The last place was soon abandoned on account of the ewampy nature of the country. The Americans did not attempt to take possession of the west end of Cavite province, and the rebels have retained posts at Novaleta, four miles southwest of Cavite Viejo, and at other points further west and south. The Americans also, cleared the rebel vessels off of Laguna de Bay and have occupied Calamba, at its southwestern corner. ,

WAR TO BE PUSHED.

President Decides on Vigorous Cam* paign in Philippines. President McKinley’s .policy on the Philippines was officially outlined after a conference held by him with advisers at the conclusion of the Dewey dinner at the White House Tuesday night. It is to push the war to a successful conclusion with all possible vigor, and when peace comes to submit to Congress for settlement the question of the future of the islands. This program was announced after the conference by Congressman Boutelle of Maine, chairman of the House Committee on Naval Affairs. Besides Congressman Boutelle those at the conference were Secretary Root, Secretary iDtchcock, Attorney General Griggs, Senator Hanna, former Secretary Cornelius N. Bliss and Myron T., Herrick of Cleveland. There was an infonfifcl talk on the' Philippine situation, during which the President in 4 few words stated Ms position, as later defined by Congressman Boutelle. Admiral Dewey had an important conference with President McKialey on the same subject Wed- „ w. urff. ~ w f ft

Why Coins Are Struck.

The principal reason that coins are struck and not cast is the well-known fact that molten metals contract on cooling. Thus counterfeit coins, which are always cast show fatal variations in size, which authentic stamped coins do not Secondly, it is impossible to get the same sharpness of delineation as in stamping and lastly, when the stamping machine is once set up the process of striking coins is infinitely cheaper and more rapid than that of casting ever could be.

The Philippine War

Is proving more stubborn than anticipated. It needs a vigorous contest to straighten matters out. We should tackle the Philippines and overcome them as Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters does dyspepsia, indigestion, malaria, fever and ague. The battle is short and decisive, and for fifty years the Bitters have always won.

Single Persons.

The largest proportion of single persons Is fodnd in Ireland and Scotland, and the smallest tn the United States. In Ireland 67 per cent., in Scotland 65 per cent, but in the United States only 59 per cent, are in that condition. Traveling on tbe Burlington Railroad on the way to Denver, a little town called Atlanta, near Hastings, Nebraska, is pointed out as a point of interest because of the corn cribs built there along the tracks. In all there are twenty-four separate cribs, 12 feet wide ans 12 feet high, with a total length of 5,964 feet, or a distance of nearly a mile and a quarter. This year’s enormous crop (three hundred million bushels for the State of Nebruakai will test their capacity' Everybody seems prosperous in Nebraska.
