TALKS WITH
WOMEN OF
MIDDLE AGE
PREPARE for the turn of life. It is a critical period.
As indications of the change appear be sure your physi-
cal condition is good. The experience is a wonderful
one and under some circumstances full of menace. Mrs. Pink-
ham, of Lynn, Mass., will give you her advice withotft charge.'
She has done so much for women,
surely you can trust her. Read
this letter from Mrs. M. C. Grif-
fing, of Georgeville, Mo.: |
t "Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—The
doctor called my trouble ulcera-
tion of womb and change of life.
I was troubled with profuse flow-
ing and became very weak. When I wrote to you I was down
in bed, had not sat up for six months; was under a doctor's
treatment all the time, but it did me no good. I had almost
given up in despair, but your Vegetable Compound has made
me feel like a new woman. I cannot thank you enough. I
would advise any woman who is afflicted as I have been to
write to Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass., and get her ad-
vice and be cured as I have
been."
Mrs. F. H. Allkn, 419 Ne-
braska Ave., Toledo, Ohio,
writes:
"Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—
Change of life was working on
me. My kidneys and bladder
were affected. I had been
confined to the house all sum-
mer, not able to stand
on my feet for any
length of time. Terri-
ble pains when urinat-
ing and an itching that
nearly drove me wild.
I had tried many reme-
dies. I told my hus-
band I had great faith
m yours and he got me a bottle; am now on my fourth bottle.
I feel that I am entirely cured. I can work all day. I can hardly
realize that such a wonderful cure is possible. Lydia E. Pink-
ham s V egetable Compound is the best medicine for women."
Don t wait until you are prostrated with the mysterious con-
dition known as "Change of Life." Get Mrs. Pinkham's ad-
vice and learn how other women got through.

Memphis, Tenn., March 30.—A spe-
cial from St. Louis, Mo., says:
The steamer Rowena Lee is report-
ed to have sunk at Tylet', Mo., yester-
day afternoon. She is said to have
broken in two and gone down out of
sight with all on board except the
captain, Geo. Carvell, and ene mate,
who escaped.
The Lee left Cairo at 6:30 o'clock
Tuesday night for Memphis. She had
a light freight and passenger trip, ati
there has been little business since
the high water. She was manned by
the following crew:
Captain Geo. Carvell, First Clerk I.
K. Brooker, Second Clerk Gus Mitch-
ell, Third Clerk Sam Lewis, Pilots Sid
Smith and E. Banks, Mates John
Crasty and Patrick Flanagan, Engi-
neers Albert Calder and Frank Stu'il,
Steward George W. Todd, Mall Clerk
M. T. Kelley.
Most of the crew live in Memphis.
The names of her passengers cannot
be learned. The boat was the prop-
erty of the Lees, at Memphis. It is
stated she had sixty people on board,
including her deck hands. Tyler is
125 miles below here.
A special dispatch from Cairo, 111.,
gives the following details of the
sinking of the Rowena Lee at Tyler,
Mo.:
Between 3 and 4 o'clock yesterday
afternoon the steamer Rewena Lee
sank in midstream in seventy feet of
water. She had just backed out from
the landing and headed down stream
when as if by an explosion from un-
derneath she seemed to raise slightly
in the middle and broke in two, both
ends plunging downward and sink-
ing from view instantly. All on
board perished except Capt. Carvell
and one mate. As near as obtainable
she carried a good cabin of passen-
gers. As reported, there were about
sixty people aboard , among wEom
were M. C. Lewis, traveling freight
agent for the Lee line, and S. C.
Humphrey, general agent for tho
Chicago Mill and Lumber company of
Cairo. The cause of the disaster can
not be obtained.
The steamer Rowena Lee was owned
by the Lee line of Memphis, and was
one of the most magnificent passen-
ger steamers in the Mississippi river
trade.
She plied between Memphis and
Cairo.
News of the sinking of the Rowena
Lee spread like wild fire in Memphis.
Most of the crew lived here. As to
the passenger list of the ill-fated ves-
sel nothing can be obtained at the
Memphis office of the company. An
effort has been made to get the names
of those passengers who embarked at
Cairo.
From local river men it was ascer-
tained that the Rowena Lee carried a
cabin crew of about fifteen officers and
a deck crew of aDout thirty. Taking
these figures and a fair number of
passengers taken on at Cairo and
other points it can easily be reasoned
that at least sixty people were on
board the boat when the disaster oc-
curred.
Safe Intact.
New York, March 39.—Another
body was found yesterday in the
Windsor hotel ruins and was sent to
the morgue. This was the most com-
plete body yet found, consisting of the
almost complete skeleton with por-
tions of the head, arms and legs at-
tached. It was the body of a woman.
The record of dead and missing Is
now as follows:
killed during the fire and died sub-
sequently from injuries 11, uninden-
tified bodies at morgue 27, total num-
ber of dead 38, total number of miss-
ing 43.
The big office safe was opened yes-
terday afternoon and the contents
were found to be unharmed. Mr. Ice-
land said that the safe contained many
packages of valuable belongings to
the guests and it was stated that the
value of the contents reached nearly
$200,000.

Topeka, Kan., March 80.—John
Henry Collins received the death
sentence for the murder of Bis father
with the same placid demeanor that
has characterized his conduct since his
arrest. When asked by Judge Hazen
if he had anything to say, Collins
made a sensational speech, which
brought tears to the eyes of many of
the people in the court room.
Among other things, he said: "I
know that I am innocent ;I know that
I did not kill my father. I wish if it
were possible that he might come back
here from beyond the grave and be
before you, so you might learn from
him that I am not guilty. I would If
it would avail anything, call upon Al-
mighty God to read my heart and
show you that I am an innocent man."

Manila, March 30—The American
army advanced at 6 o'clock yesterday
morning, sweeping onward three miles
before 10 o'clock and driving, the rebels
beyond Bocave to the east of Bulacan
and on the railroad leading to Malo-
los. Our troops met with but slight
resistance.
The Filipinos fired volleys Tuesday
evening for the purpose of drawing
the American fire and disclosing the
locality of their positions. Two men

to t!»o attitude, of t,h« gov-
ernment. At first apprehensions wwtt
felt that grave international wmplfca-
tions might enbtie, Hut lh«=ta most Jtl
tlmately familiar with the lat«=ft
clal exchanges between Washington,
London and Berlin did not take siieb
a gloomy view of the outlook. While
recognizing that the bloodshed at Ha-
moa created a very serious and deli-
cate situation which had beeen clearly
apprehended and discussed In advance
between the reprsentatlves of the three
government.
Tho bombardment continued Inter-
mitently for eight days. Several vil-
lages have beeen burned and there
have been a number of casualties
among the American and British sail-
ors and marines. As yet It is impos-
sible to estimate the number of na-
tives killed or injured.
As Mataafa and his chiefs, constitut-
ing the provisional government, con-
tinued to defy the treaty after the ar-
rival of the Philadelphia, Admiral
Kautz summoned the various consuls
and the senior naval officers to a con-
ference on board the Philadelphia
when the whole situation was careful-
ly canvassed. The upshot was a res-
olution to dismiss the provisional
government and Admiral Kautz Issued
a proclamation calling upon Mataafa
and his chiefs to return to their
homes. They refused, and the rebels
commenced an attack in the direction
of the United States and British con-
sulates at Apia. The Philadelphia,
Porpoise and Royalist opened fire up-
on the distant villages.
Three British sailors were killed.
Mataafa evacuated Mulinuu, the
town he had made his headquarters
and went into the interior, lierr
Rose, the German consul at Apia, is-
sued a proclamation supplementing the
one issued several weeks before, up-
holding the provisional government.
As a result of this the Mr.oafans as-
sembled in large force and hemmed in
the town.
The trouble comraeucoJ on the lath.
Many natives were killed.

Another Klot*
Kingston, Jamaica, March 30.—An-
other riot among sailors of the United
States on short leave occurred here
Tuesday night, during which the men
fought a number oI water police and
civilians, resulting in the combatants
receiving plenty of contusions. The
most seriously injured were William
Lynch of the Brooklyn and Edward
Barry of the Texas, who were removed
to the hospital, the former suffering
from a fractured skull and the latter
from a smashed face.
Ashore.
Marblehead, Mass., March 30.—The
Warren line steamer Norseman, Capt.
Reese, bound from Liverpool for Bos-
ton, went ashore at 3:10 o'clock a. m.
yesterday on Tom Moore's ledge, about
200 yards off Marblehead neck. A
dense fog and heavy sea prevailed and
those on board the steamer did not
know where they were. In answer to
signal guns the life-saving crew from
the Marblehead reached the vicinity
of the vessel at about daylight, but
were unable to get alongside.
Flaglor Dead.
Washington, March 30.—A dispatch
received from Old Point Comfort, Va.,
says that Brig. Gen. Flagler, chief of
ordnance, United States army, died at
the Hygeia hotel at 5 o'clock yester-
day afternoon.

A SENSIBLE LETTER,
A Western Canadian Settler Writes to
an Illinois Friend.
In writing to Mr. T. Hawkyard, ot
Rockford, 111., Mr. G. Simpkins, ot
Leduc, Alberta, Western Canada (ani
to which points especially low rates are
being quoted over all lines of rail-
way), says: ,
Dear Sir:—Rec'd your letter the 14th
inst. We have had no snow till aftec
Christmas and the cattle have been
able to live out, and are ail in good
condition. It is snowing now. That
is what we want; have about 6 inches
now. The old settlers say when wa
have lot3 of snow it means a good crop
the coming season. It never driftri
here. The weather is calm and bright.
We do not have to dress any heavier
than in Illinois, and the horses never;
shiver with the cold when wo take
them from the warm stables, as they
do In Illinois. It has not frozen in the
stable this winter. The most of the
stock runs out, but there is no need
of it, for timber is plentiful and there
is no expense to build good stables and
houses. We have good log houses and
they are very warm. Two men can
put up a house 16x24 in two days.
There are good rails for fences. We
live ten miles from the coal district,
the price being from 50 cents up to
$2.00. The land is a very rich, loamy
sail, from 6 inches to several feet in
depth; the hills have the deepest. It
Is a rolling country, and excellent for
steck of all kinds. Sheep do well, and
there are plenty of small lakes where
the cattle can get good water. The
cattle got out of grass last year, about
the middle of April, and run at large;
unless In charge of a herdsman, we
have to fence against them. Wheat
goes from 35 to 60 bushels per acre,
oats 80 to 90, very often over a hun-
dred. As to potatoes, a neighbor
planted 7 bushels and dug 226 bushels
and no bugs. Roots of all kinds do
well. There are lots of strawberries
and lots of red raspberries, black and
red currants, and gooseberries, where
the fire has not burnt them. Cattle
are scarce. I have been trying to buy
some for 8 months and have got only
three two-year-old, and paid $30 each.
Hogs are scarce, but can be got. They
sell for 6 cents dressed, and cost more
for stockers. Wheat 50 cents per bu.,
oats 25 cents, eggs 30 cents a dozen,
butter 15 and 20 cents, poultry was 10
and 11 cents dressed. Sheep are
scarce. If you oome, bring your farm
tools, but bring no seeders; we use
drills. Bring cows, but do not bring
horses unless you are an experienced
hand In shipping them, for so many of
them are hurt in shipping. There will
be plenty of work for a binder. Two
good horses will break, but three light-
er are better. The horses you get here
can work without grain, bat are bfcKef
with it. It will be hard to tell what
prices horses will be, for the immigra-
tion will be very large the com'.ng
spring. They could be had last spring
at one time. They claim the best time
to break Is June, hut my experience
is to break in the spring and work it.
You can break till the middle of July.
