FINXBAM NO. 64,587 Dear Friend Two years ago I had child-bed fever and womb trouble in its worse form. For eight months after birth of babe I was not able to sit up. Doctors treated me, but with no help. I had bearing-down pains, burning in stomach, kidney and bladder trouble and my back was so stiff and sore, the right ovary was badly affected and everything I ate distressed me, and there was a bad discharge.

I was confined to my bed when I wrote to yon for advice and followed your directions faithfully, taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, Liver Pills and using the Wash, and am now able to do the most of my housework. I believe I should have died if it had not been for your Compound. I hope this letter may be the result of benefitting some other suffering woman. I recommend your Compound to every one." Mrs.

Mart VAtTGHS, Tbimqle, Pulaski Ky. Many of these sick women whose letters we print were utterly discouraged and life was a burden to them when they wrote to Lynn, to Mrs. Pinkham, and without charge of any kind received advice that made them strong, useful women again. AT THE What the Managers and Agents Say of the Various Attractions, Zee the Hypnotist An Elmira paper of October 3, 1S93, said: Sylvan A. Lee and his company of hypnotists who were here last week gave Elmirans an idea of the science of hypnotism that no other so-called professional hypnotist ever succeeded in doing.

Mr. Lee he dislikes the title, professor came here under a great disadvantage, and those who did not know of the big business he had been doing about the country and even those who were aware of the facts, shook their heads at the announcement of his appearance in Elmira and predicted a poor week financially. The appearance here of one. Seaborne, three years ago, did not tend to dispel the skepticism which we always retained. As theatrical men, would put 'The butchers in the business queered the business in this town." But it did not take Lee long to overcome the skepticism on the part of the most incredulous, either from a business or scientific standpoint.

What helped to win the confidence of Elmirans to a great extent was the general appearance of -Mr. Lee's company, including manager, advance agent and assistants. Of all the insane, idiotic looking specimens of the human race, the hypnotist companies who ever visited this city seem to have secured the most representative of the idiotic class. And so those who had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Lee and the members of his company were heard, to remark that they were a most flattering representation of human intelligence.

Charles West--over, the manager, and talented pianist, won the hearts of the audiences by his cleverness at the piano. He won the confidence and esteem of many people here by, his friendly disposition. Mr. Westoter was a former newspaper man, having served for some time on the city department of a large Chicago daily. At the Lyceum all this week.

Engineers on the Lackawanna Refused the Concession. TALK OVER PLANS IN SECRET Chief Arthur Credited With Saying That This Is the Start of a Movement for Shorter Time on All Railroads. Scranton, Aug. 28.

The Lackawanna engineers had an exceedingly busy Sunday, discussing among themselves the situation as presented to them by their grievance committee, which for ten days has been endeavoring to make terms with General Superintendent Russell. Yesterday was the regular meeting day of the Sam Sloan division of their brotherhood, but to bring all the divisions into direct contact with Grand Chief Arthur, who is here helping the engineers to satisfactorily adjust their demands, delegates hurried in on the night and morning trains from all along the great system, which has so recently seen such tremendous change of official authority with the outgoing of the management. Behind carefully guarded doors, which none but an engineer ceuld approach, the whole afternoon was given to discussions of the situation recounted by Chairman Ell Vail, and others of the committee, which nas been dealing with Mr. Russell, ana since Friday conferring with Chief Arthur. But, when the meeting ended at 6 oclock there was intense close-mouthedness that disclosed no information.

However, it is given out from reliable sources that only question now on over which there is much stumbling is the ten-hours-for-a-day demand. The company refuses to accede to anything less than twelve hours. No other company does. Chief Arthur is credited with saying that the ten-hour movement on the Lackawanna is only the first advance of a similar nature that is to sweep over the country. It is further learned that the engineers will not rest until the trainmen are heard, their conferences being scheduled for to-day.

There is a belief that the trainmen will stand no delays like the engineers; that they are not nearly so conservative, and that they will come very near getting their grievances heard and properly adjusted, or trouble will shortly result.

1431 W. Water, N. Y. LEFT FOR NEW YORK AT NOON Was In a Jovial Frm of Mind and Cracked Jokes and Told Finujf Stories to the Amusement cf Ills Friends. Elmira is honored to-day by a visit from Former United States Senator David B.

Hill, an Elmiran, who has achieved more fame in the political world than any citizen has made this city his home. The former governor of the state arrived In this city via the Northern Central railroad accompanied by General Austin Lathrop, former state superintendent of prisons. Mr. Hill remained in the city only about two hours and a half. He left the city at 12:49 o'clock on L.

W. train No. 6 for New York city, having arrived here at 10 o'clock on Northern Central train No. 8. His visit to this city was purely a personal one and his short stay in his former home was devoted to calls upon his most intimate friends.

Upon his arrival at the Union depot he entered" a carriage and was driven to the law offices of Reynolds, Stanchfield and Collin. There he called "upon Messrs. John B. Stanchfield and Frederick Col lin. The Hon.

George M. Diven called upon him and ail of the men spent a pleasant hour visiting in Mr. Stanch-field's private office. General Lathrop spent part of the time with them. During the forenoon Mr.

Stanchfield ordered his carriage and Senator Hill enjoyed a drive about the city before luncheon. It was at the law offices that Mr. Hill was seen by a representative of this paper. The famous politician was dressed in a black Prince Albert coat, with trousers to match and a high hat. To all appearances he had not change! one bit since his last visit to this city upon the occasion of his address at the Lyceum during the Roosevelt-Van Wyck campaign.

He looked the picture of health. His characteristic pleasant smile and genial greeting were very noticeable. Many of his former townsmen paid their respects during the day. To the newspaper man Mr. Hill stated that his visit to this city was purely in the nature of a friendly call.

He said that he had arrived here from Watkins, and that for the past few days he had been the guest of General Lathrop at his farm at Hector on the shores of Seneca Lake. By his Eide as he was taking sat Attorney Diven. arrived -via the-Northern Central railroad of which Mr. Diven is still counsel," said Mr. Hill with a smile, turning to Mr.

Diven, and the well known attorney replied, "yes, be sure 0Q0ODOa0ODO I A Grocer's jo a WITH GRAPE-NUTS. 5 SEE BELOW 3 A GROCER'S INTEREST IS TO FURNISH PURE GOOD. People do not aiways realize the personal interest that a first-class grocer takes in the articles of food which he furnishes customers. Some people believe that the grocer is influenced only by the profit he may derive, and that his recommendations are governed entirely by a mercenary motive, but this is not always true. On the contrary.

It is believed that a ma-pority of the better class of grocers are thoroughly, honest in their desire to furnish their patrons wUh really pure and nourishing food. The following from John Wallgren, a prominent grocer of Portland. Oregon, may of Jnteres: "I am on my tenth. ase of Grape-Nuts and my trade is still Increasing. I have been bothered with a weak stomach for five years.

I have tried a number of remedies riti patnt medicines without hslp. I am eating Grape-Nuts three times a daj and after using three packages I must admit that I am relieved of my weak stomach and feel like a new man." There is a reason for this. A weak stomach can take Grape-Nuts and digest them without difficulty, for Grape-Nuts are actually pre-digested and really for immediate transformation into rich blood and good strong tissue, both of muscle and brain. They are generally admitted to be the most scientifically made food in the world, in which the starch of the cereals is transformed into grape sugar and this is done without the use of any sort of drug or acid whatsoever. On the contrary, all of the processes are purely mechanical, using simply moiteture.

time (in which to grow the diastase) and heat, but the work of the human system is copied, almost exactly, with the result that the food is ready for immediate assimilation. The flavor is exquisite and delicate, the sweet of grape sugar can be detected. The food is absolutely free from-cane or beet sugar, but the fine, almost microscopic, particles of grape sugar can be seen glistening on the surface of the small granules. 'Grape-Nuts with cream furnishes the most delicious breakfast in existence, and this food is in use now by practically all of the well-to-do families in America. deihiand has been so great that the factory has been running steadily both night and day for upwards of a year, and the fame cf the American breakfast dish has spread to many of the other countries of the world MUTUAL RESERVE.

Superintendent Payne Gave a Hearing to the Officials. Superintendent Louis F. Payn, of the state insurance gave a hearing yesterday to representatives of the Mutual Reserve Fund Life association of New York city, says Saturday's Albany Journal. An examination of the company has been made by Chief Examiner Isaac Vanderpool of the state insurance department, and his report is in the hands of Superintendent Payn. Under section thirty-nine of the insurance law, the superintendent is required to give the officials of the company so examined an opportunity to be heard before the report of the examination is accepted by him.

The hearing yesterday is in compliance with that provision. Edward Lauterbach of New York appeared for the company. It is said that the report of the examiners now before Superintendent Payn gives the results of their investigation of dozens of charges made by those formerly connected with the concern, who allege gross mismanagement. Of the thousands of policy hold- ers in the Mutual Reserve many have of late sent letters of inquiry to the state insurance department and the re- port of Superintendent Payn dealing with the condition of the association is awaited with interest. The fact that the association appeared yesterday represented by President.

F. A. Burnham, Vice-President George D. Eldridge and an array of counsel comprising Frank Lawrence, Edward Lauterbach and Loionei James would indicate that it had suggestions to make for modifications in the examiner's report. AN OPPORTUNITI OF A MFETIMF.

DEWITT MUNGER. The Quarterly Conference of the First M. E. Church Honor Him. Rev.

R. Dewitt Munger presided at the fourth quarterly conference of the First M. E. church held Saturday evening. From the reports presented by the officers of the various departments it was evident that the churcn work has been progressing most satisfactorily.

In financial, and spiritual work the success has been marked. The balance of the church debt amounting to about $1,000 has been raised during the year in addition to other expenses. In addition to the appointment of the regular standing committees a special committee to work in conjunction with the pa3tor in preparing for the annual conrerence to be held at the First church commencing September 27th was appointed. A. D.

Symonds was elected as dels-gate to Ihe lay electoral conference, which meets on the third day of the annual conference, and will probably be held in Hedding church. A resolution was unanimously passed requesting the presiding bishop at the next annual confreence to return the Rev. Dr. Keppel to the First church as pastor for another year, also asking the presiding elder to use his influence for Dr. Keppel's return.

The following preamble and resolution regarding the presiding elder were also unanimously passed: "It is with pleasure that we meet with the Rev. Dr. Munger, the presiding elder of this district at the last quarterly conference of this year, and recognizing his rare ability for such an office, his long experience therein, and the efficient manner in which he has discharged the duties of his office, since his appointment to this district in March last. "Resolved, That we, the members of the fourth quarterly -conference, request the presiding bishop of the next annual conference to return Dr. Munger to this district for another yearrf believing that such an appointment would be for the best interests of the district, and all parties concerned.

Both Drs. Keppel and Munger thanked the members of the conference for the hearty expressions of thanks and Dr. Munger stated how pleasant it made him feel to hear the gratifying reports. He said that there was not a church in the district that was in a more satisfactory condition. IN YIATES COUNTY.

Republicans Caucuses Held Saturday Afternoon Keuka College. Penn Tan, Aug. 28. Republican caucuses were. held in the towns of Italy, Jerusalem and Middlesex Saturday afternoon.

In the town of Jerusalem there was quite a lively contest. The list of delegates elected to attend the county convention is as follows: Jerome E. Andrus, Floyd Hunt, Ormond L. Moore, Ezra B. Hopkins, Fred M.

Decker, Elias F. Pulver. These delegates were pledged to support the nomination of Fred L. Rogers for the office of schol commissioner, but were left uninstructed in regards to the office of member of assembly. It is thought they are favorable to the nomination of the present incumbent, Edward M.

Sawyer of Starkey. The following town oommdttee for the ensuing year was appointed: Brown, W. C. Davis and George M. Martin.

Keuka college and institute will open next month under very flattering prospects. A larger number of students have signified their intention of entering than has entered in some years past. An eflort Is on foot to secure an endowment of $30,000 in order to' establish a chair of domestic science and physical training. Dr. George H.

Ball and a committee have charge of the raising of the fands. The Lake Keuka assembly and conference for 1899 has proven a success; the conference, which came to a close yesterday afternoon and which has been under the charge of Dr. A. C. Dixon of Brooklyn, has tproved very interesting.

It is the intention of the managers of th assembly and conference to conduct them next summer on the same plans as the meetings just closed, with the exception, possibly, of the conference being conducted on much broader lines than during the past year. In order to accomplish this a regular organization will be formed, with a view of aiding Dr. Dixon in conducting these meetings, as well as aid it financially. VAN BEACH VIA LEHIGH VALLEY R. R.
