WOMAN TO WOMAN. "Women are being taught by bitter experience that many physicians can- Doctors,, are willing and anxious to help them, but they are the wrong sex to work understanding^. When the . woman of to-£ay ex­ periences such symp­ toms as backache, nervousness, lassi­ tude, whites, irregu­ lar or pain­ ful men­ struation, pains in groins, bearing-down sensation, palpitation, "all gone" feeling and blues, she at once takes Lydia E. Pinkliam's Vegetable Compound, feeling sure of obtaining immediate relief. Should her symptoms be new to her, ehe writes to a woman, Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., who; promptly explains her caste, an dfl'alls her free how to get well.- . -J Indeed, so many women are -now appealing to Mrs. Pinkham for advice, that a score of lady secretaries-ar§ kept' constantly at work answering the great volume of correspondence which comcs in every day. Each letter is answered carefully and accurately, as Mrs. Pink­ ham fully realizes that a life may de­ pend -upon her reply, and into many and many a home lias she shed the ra^'S of happiness.

There is comfort in the knowledge that so many forms of, sickness are not due to any actual dis­ ease, but simply to a constipated condi­ tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt­ ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness, without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene­ ficial effects, to note when you pur­ chase, that you have the genuine article, which is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep­ utable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, then laxa­ tives or other remedies are not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, then one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most general satisfaction.

A publisher of a New York newspa­ per who had criticised the decisions of a judge of inferior jurisdiction was fined and imprisoned on a contempt charge. He appealed and the court of appeals reverses the decision and rep­ rimands the judge for exceeding hsi just and legal powers The upper court declares that no judge has the right to punish for contempt except where the act held to be contemptuous is commit­ ted in the Court, or where any person or persons willfully violate any order of the court. Going further, the appellate judges hold that no court lias power to punish for contempt for criticism of its rulings or decisions. A sure-enough wild man was seen in the Quillayu'te Mountains, near Gape Flattery, Wash., a few "days' ago, and was closely and carefully scrutinized by Lawrence E.

He says he was traveling through an un­ explored timber belt when a man of unusually large size ami splendid physique, hoitlcss and wir.li a heavy beard and shock of long hair, ljis anus and legs bare and his body partially clothed in skins, stepped out before him. Mr. Doyle was startled, and before he could say or do anything the wild man. after looking at him closely, walked quietly away. Mr. Doyle watched the man with his field glasses until lie was out of sight ,and is sure of the reality of 'his experience and of the wild man. Settlers in that region have for a long time past claimed to have caught glimpses of a strange man dressed in skins, and a general hunt has been planned for the purpose of capturing him.

The .Capitol police* have strange things to. tell about the uncanny doings i-a -the vaulted corri­ dors after nightfall. The-ghosts they/tell about are not „ simple, everyday- visitors from the land of the unseen, but the shades of distin­ guished men in the nation's history. The,,majestic spiritual egolof John Quincy Adams,'once President of the United States; of Vice-President Unary Wilson, a Massachusetts statesman, and of Gen. John A. IjOgan, famous i,i field and forum, are saiu to haunt by night the echoing halls where legislates tread by day. o ^ When the redoubtable At.drew Jack­ son was inaugurated, March 4. 1S20. Adams retired for a short while to private life. It was not until Feb. 2;. 1S4S, that he died. He was at that ti lie a repre­ sentative. and his parsing away was tragic. During a session of the House he suddenly slipped from his seat to the floor. Apoplexy, the doctors said. He was borne to a room near by/whei e not many hours later lie, died, with but U few mur­ mured words. It was not long after ths unhappy event that there was whispering among the officials who took care of,the Capitol Building after dark that soiieone like unto the dead Adams was seen nightly to pass out of the speaker's room, iu which the ex-President had died, into the House chamber, which is now statuaiy hall, and Wander about among'the seats. It would pause beside the chair occupied by Adams, then gradually fade away into nothing­ ness. After the seats were removed and statues places in the hall the change ap­ parently disconcerted the distinguished ghost, for, according to the best authori­ ties, those who claimed to hate seen the whole proceeding, the (Shade of tlie states­ man wandered around and around the chambeiv and finally passafe>ut without ilirfo*-mer place apparently having found h of daily occupation. But later a small bronze tablet was inserted In the floor, through the good offices of somebody who felt sorry for the ghost, upon the spot where John Quincy Adams' chair used to stand, and then it is said the gkost walk­ ed as before, with every evidence of be­ ing once again at peace. This particular shade was seen on Feb. 21 last, a.id is not expected again until that date. What purported to be tlie ghost of the beloved Vice-President is said to mova and have its ethereal being in the Vice- President's room, the marble room, where the Senators receive their callers, and ir, the corridors thereabouts. It was while in the first named apartment that Mr. Wilson was also suddenly visited by the angel of death, Nov. 10, 1875, who re­ mained with him until Nov. 22, when he died, after three severe shocks of apo­ plexy. The apparition supposed to represent this poor man is occasionally declared to manifest itself suddenly, as if tvoluted out of the thin air, and as quickly vanish upon the approach of a mortal. The spirit of Black Jack Logan is said to make its appearance at exactly twenty- minutes after 12 o'clock midnight, The general was at one time chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs, and out of this committee room he emerges, tak­ ing care to close the door after him, and gUdes swiftly down the corridor, to dis­ appear without trace or sound. This is perhaps the most substantial of all the Capitol ghosts, for there are numbers of persons ready to attest having witnessed, his mysterious passage through the gloomy halls. But it does not take the actual appear­ ance ofJJupse shades to make the Capitol a place of grewsomeness and awe at night. In the stillness that pervades a door shutting at one end of the long bnildirife" may be faintly heara at the other, and a step in the rotunda will come back from all sides with startling echoing. It is one of the stories that every night there is a sound in the portico of the Senate wing as of some one scrub­ bing the marble floor and the noise of water being thrown down on it is plainly- audible. Capitol officials tell of au aged negro who used to be one of the sweeps, and who died a number of years ago, and who, they say, performs his early morn­ ing duties of washing up just a few hours before daybreak each day. This ghostly individual is the unseen terror of all the negro laborers who clean up around the Capitol, and they will not work without* plenty of light on the subject. It would give a timid person the fright of his life to walk across statuary hall at midnight and in the dark. In no place in the vast building are the echoes so strange or so ghostly. There are a num­ ber of what are, called echo stones, by- stepping upon which and speaking one is astounded to hear his voice coming up apparently beneath his feet. It is a trick the guides have of startling their custom­ ers by stepping up behind some pillar and, just at the moment when the unwary tourist stands on a certain,stone, giving voice to a harsh and sepulchral whisper that will reverberate in ghostly accent close in his ear. The State Convention In x>es Moines Was the Largest in Several Years. The Iowa Populist.?State convention held in Des Moine^ -was the largest in several, years. All seven counties were represented and abftut 600 delegates were present. In addition to the State leaders, National Chairman H. E. Tau- beneck and Gen. J. S. (Jqfxey of Ohio were present and made speeches. The temper of the convention was conciliatory and radical action wag avoided, the conven­ tion falling in line with the wishes of Gen. J. B. Weaver. Tl^ere was a. consid­ erable undercurrent of, Boies talk among the delegates, and the hope was freely expressed that the Democratic convention at Chicago-would split on the silver ques­ tion and' botU'wings nominate candidates If this is done the Iowa Populist delega­ tion at St Louis wilb undoubtedly seek to have -the silver Detoocratic nominee for President indorsed,,specially ifBoies should be the man. Ggn. Weaver, who acted as temporary chairman, said: "If we lose the fight mis fall it will be death to our cause this side of revolution. If the gold men win '%hey will refund $; >00.000.000 of treasury motes into inter­ est-bearing bondsj That is the issue. We are in the crisis and rouftt win." After his address, at jhe opening of the afternoon session Gen. V^'eaver. chairman of the committee- on resolutions, submit­ ted the following majority report:- Resolved.

Ohio Prohibitionists Abandon Theii Fisjht on the Single Issne. iii the Ohio Prohibition State~Tonven- tion at - indlay there was a spirited con­ test over the money plank, the majority of the committee favoring {he free coin­ age of.silver at the ratio of 1(5 to 1, and tlie minority rtdvocatihg free coinage at a rat.o to be fixed by Ift^v. The majority report was adopted. The platform de­ clares in brief: *:;> Ji.avors woman suffrage; opposes alien ownership of land; favors government control of railroads and telegraphs; advo­ cates the raising of revenues by taxation on property and incomes, import duties to be levied only as a means of securing equitable commercial delations; declares for Sunday rest; opposes public appropria­ tions for sectarian purposes; favors the election of President, Vice-President and Senators by direct vote; favors liberal pensions; asks for a revision of the immi­ gration laws; favors letting aliens vote after one year from the time of full nat­ uralization; favors the initiative and ref­ erendum, and declares for free coinage «• at 10 to 1.

The Alabama Democratic State conven­ tion nominated a full ticket, headed by J: T. Johnston for Governor. The resolu­ tions adopted advocate free coinage of silver at 10 to 1, instruct the twenty-two delegates from the State to vote as a unit oil all questions at the Chicago conven­ tion, advocate the repeal of the 10 per cent State bank tax, favor honest elec­ tions and the legalizing of primary elec­ tions. The convention enthusiastically applauded the mention of President Cleve­ land's name and adopted a resolution in­ dorsing his foreign policy and the appoint­ ment of Southern men to cabinet posi­ tions, but disapproving his financial pol­ icy. The votes }n the various' stages of the convention's proceedings showed the relative strength of the two factions to be about o33 to 101 in favor of Captain Johnston and the free silver men and against the Democrats who, under the leadership of Congressman Clark, hold to the financial policy of the national, ad­ ministration.

While we were talking, a French woman came up to us .and said with painful effort: "Ees ett per- meeted .to viseet Eton?" The soldier started at her, stolid and "dumb. She repeated her question. "The school, Eton, ees eet permeeted that I may viseet?" Still no answer. I volunteer­ ed a translation. His face broke into smiles. "Certainly, madam, certainly," he said politely. "Any hour you please." ~nd then turning to me: "Amazing, isn't it, the difficulty I have under­ standing these foreigners: Now, with you people from across the Atlantic I never have any trouble at all. Not h bit more .than if you were English." I said that it was very pleasant to feci that I could make myself intelligible, and that there was without doubt a strong similarity in our tongues; and I went on my way rejoicing.

Barnes, a reporter for the Sunday Herald, published at Canton, O., under date of May 27, 1895, writes to the Ripans Chemical Company that he knows a working- man who has been benefited by Ripans Tabules after a severe • attack of the Grippe, and he ap­ pends the following statement, with permission to publish: "Testi­ monial of Thos. J. Meals, of the city of Canton, Stark County, O.: I had an attack of the grippe four years ago this spring that left me in a bad way. My nervous system was broken down - nd my digestive apparatus iu a condition that made me miserable for days. While able to work at my trade as shearman in a rolling mill, 1 suffered niore- or less all the tinj£ with my stom­ ach. Bitters and eenics were literally taken by the gallon, and every variety of pills and potions that promised relief. I derived some-benefit from the use of some of them if 1 continued takiug them, but if I quit a few days my old trouble would return. Noticing the advertisement of the Ripans Tabules, for impaired and bad digestmn, 1 concluded to invest in a few of them, which I am pleased to inform you have proven all or more than 1 expected of them. While 1 have taken but a few of them, they have done me more good than all the other remedies that f have tried. They relieve the belching and sour stomach almost at once, and I feel better in every way since I commenced taking them. The distressing headaches, which I always had preceding a fit of indigestion, have entirely left me. 1 will be glad to recommend the Tabules to anybody suffering from stomach troubles.
