through the advice of Mrs. Pinkham,
of Lynn, Mass., which is given to sick
women absolutely free of charge.
The present Mrs. Pinkham has for
twenty-five years made a study of the
ills of her sex ; she has consulted with
and advised thousands of suffering
women, who to-day owe not only their
health but even life to her helpful
advice.
Mrs. Fannie D. Fox, of 7 Chestnut
Street, Bradford, Pa., writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham ,
“ I suffered for a long time with female
trouble, and finally was told by my physician,
that I had a tumor. I did not want to
submit to an operation, so wrote you for
advice. I received your letter and did as
you told me, and to-day I am completely
cured. My doctor says the tumor has disap-
peared, and I am once more a well woman.
I believe Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com-
pound is the best medicine in the world.”
The testimonials which we are con-
stantlypublishing from grateful women
establish beyond a doubt the power of
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com-
pound to conquer female diseases.
Women suffering from any form of
female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs.
Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. She asks ‘
nothing in return for her advice. It is r
absolutely free, and to thousands of -
women has proved to be more precious .
than gold.

Montague’s Tax Collector Bralley
Whips Three Men.
Montague, Tex., Jan. 23.—Three
masked men entered the real estate
office of Alcord & Green yesterday
morning between 3 and 4 o’clock, loca-
ted in the old bank building and blew
the bank vault. There was consider-
able money in the bank, but the rob-
bers failed to get it.
W. T. Bralley, County Tax Collector,
who rooms in the building and adjoin-
ing the real estate office, was awaken-
ed by the explosion. He secured his
pistol and went out into the hall. He
was discovered by the robbers, who
opened fire. Mr. Bralley returned the
fire, killing one of the robbers. The
other two escaped, leaving their hats,
tools and a basket of lunch. The sher-
iff heard the noise and was soon on
the scene and set about as early as
possible to apprehend the dead man’s
companions.
The dead robber is not known here,
and no one who has seen the remains
so far remembers of ever having seen
him.
It was a desperate fight, and that
Mr. Bralley was not killed is little
short of a miracle.
The sheriff departed in the after-
noon for Fort Worth in the hope of
apprehending the otner two robbers.
The dead robber nad no papers on
his person, but he wore a gold watch
and had about $26 in cash. He was
photographed and when Sheriff Bry-
ant arrived at Fort Worth, Chief Mad
dox and City Detective Al Ray identi-
fied the photograph as that of Patsy
Flannigan, who was banished from
town about two weeks ago and told
not to return. He has a record in
Chicago, but was never before known
to, undertake a genuine bank robbery.

An Old-Timer Passes Away.
Temple: Another of the venerable
pioneers who have witnessed the
transformation of Texas from a Span-
ish dependency to a republic and
thence to a sovereign State of the
American Union died at his home near
Salado a few days since in the person
of Uncle Wilson Willingham, who
settled in Bell County before the
county was on the map and in the
days when the settler of this section
was always in danger from roaming
Indians. He was a relic of the times
when the buffalo roamed the prairies
at will, and possessed a fund of rem-
iniscenses of early days that always
won him a large audience when he
cared to relate them. Mr. Willingham
was a unique character in many ways,
generally beloved, however, and will
be missed by hundreds of Bell Coun-
ty people, to whom he was a familiar
figure for many long years.

Bread and Water for Topers.
Mayor Scherff, new reform execu-

this would be the most effective pun-
inshment that could be devised and
will put it into practice at once. In

in durance vile until sober and then
released. Mayor. Scherff, before his

day of his administration Marion has
changed from a wide-open town to

Powder Magazine Explodes and Ship
Sinks in Three Minutes.
Rio Janeiro, Brazil, Jan. 23.—The
Brazilian turret ship, Aquidaban, has
been sunk at Port Jacarepague, south
of Rio Janeiro, as the result of an ex-
plosion on board. It is reported that
three hundred of her crew perished
and that only one officer was saved.
Four Rear Admirals perished on
board the Aquidaban, which had been
used for the accommodation of a num-
ber of supernumerary officers and
men attached to the flotilla escorting
the cruiser Baroso. The Baroso had
on board the Minister of Marine and
his staff, who were inspecting the
sites proposed for a new arsenal.
The explosion on the Aquidaban oc-
curred in the powder magazine. The
vessel sank in three minutes.
The Aquidaban was of 4,990 tons
displacement and 6,200 horse power.
She was built in England in 1885 at
a cost of $1,725,000. The amament
consisted of four 9.4-inch guns, four
5.5-inch guns and a number of small-
er guns. She had five torpedo tubes.
Her crew numbered 350 officers and
men.
The following members of the com-
mittee which left the arsenal on board
the Aquidaban accompanying the Min-

Passing of a Pioneer.
Mesquite: William Stevens Free-
man, aged sixty-eight years, died sud-
denly Sunday morning at his home in
Mesquite. He was one of the pioneer
settlers of Dallas County, coming here
from Illinois with his parents, when
but nine years of age. He was here
during the stormy scenes, prior to the

St. Petersburg, Jan. 22.—There is al-
most an entire lack of prognostica-
tions of disorder today, the anniversa-
ry of the historic march of Father
Gapon and his followers to the Win-
ter Palace, which hasnow become the
most prominent date in the chronol-
ogy of the Russian Revolutionists.
There is general confidence that the
day will pass without serious occur-
rences in St. Petersburg and Mos-
cow, though there may be collisions in
the provincial towns. TheNabor and
revolutionary organizations generally
have proclaimed against hostilities
and even against organized dernonstra-
tions. The St. Petersburg police fear
attempts at bomb throwing dm the
part of the fanatics. Many of the fac-
tories undoubtedly will close anc the
strike may affect the street railroad
service and perhaps the electric ligh
ing plants. fl
Yesterday passed quietly, althoule
all the workmen were at liberty ar
last night St. Petersburg was tranqui®
ly sleeping. There is none of the as
prehensions of a year ago. The a
pect of the capital is entirely change®
The palace square, which was the®
gleaming with the watchfires of the
troops, tonight is entirely deserteg
and a handful of horsemen are patro®
ling the Nevsky Prospect and ths
main thoroughfares. ®
A Mighty Good Sort of Neighbor to
Have.
“A little widow, a neighbor of mine,
persuaded me to try Grape-Nuts when
my stomach was so weak that it
would not retain food of any other
kind,” writes a grateful woman, from
San Bernardino Co., Cal.
“I had been ill and confined to my
bed with fever and nervous prostra-
tion for three long months after the
birth of my second boy. We were in
despair until the little widow’s advice
brought relief.
“I liked Grape-Nuts food from the
beginning, and in an incredibly short
time it gave me such strength that I
was able to leave my bed and enjoy
my three good meals a day. In two
months my weight increased from 95
to 113 pounds, my nerves had steadied
down and I felt ready for anything.
My neighbors were amazed to see me
gain so rapidly and still more so
when they heard that Grape-Nuts
alone had brought the change.
“My 4-year-old boy had eczema,
very bad, last spring and lost his ap-
petite entirely, which made him cross
and peevish. I put him on a diet of
Grape-Nuts, which he relished at once.
He improved from the beginning, the
eczema disappeared and now he is
fat and rosy, with a delightfully soft,
clear skin. The Grape-Nuts diet did
it. I will willingly answer all in-
quiries.” Name given by Postum Co.,
Battle Creek, Mich.
There’s a reason. Read the little
book, “The Road to Wellville," in

Sousa’s Speech.
Sousa, the famous conductor, hates
public oratory and never, if he can
help it, makes a speech in public.
After one of his performances in Cork
his audience kept clamoring for a
speech and refused to be satisfied
with the usual bow. Finally Sousa
stepped to the front of the platform
and raising his hand, said impress-
ively: “Ladies and gentlemen, can
you all hear me?” There was the
usual “Yes.” “Then I wish you
goodnight.”
Philadelphia, Jan. 22.—Eighteen®
persons were killed and probably half 1
a hundred injured in a panic following
the cry of fire tonight in St. Paul s
Colored Baptist Church, in Eighth
street.
The services were held on the sec-
ond floor of the building. A defec-
tive flue set fire to the chimney, caus-
ing smoke to issue through the crev-
ices in the floor near the pulpit.
The room was well filled at the
time and the cry “fire” coupled with
the sight of the smoke threw the con-
gregation into a panic.
A wild rush was made for the
stairs, despite the efforts of Rev. E.
W. Johnson the pastor, to allay the
fears of the frenzied people. All want-
ed to get out at once and men, women
and children alike were knocked down
and trampled upon by those pushing
from behind. The stairway to the
first floor had one sharp turn in it
and the frightened people became so
tightly wedged in the bend of the
stairs that the frail wooden balustrade
gave way, precipitating many to the
first floor.
The crash and the screams and
shrieks of the women and children
added to the frenzy of those above,
and they did not stop in their mad
rush to get out. Notwithstanding the
wide-open doors of the first floor lead-
