The wotraa who puts her head in the lion's mouth, seems the type of reckless women. But she Isn't. The really reckless woman is the one who braves Nature day after day; by neglect of the health of the delicate womanly organs. "Crime and punishment bios-" som on one stem " says Emerson. . When the cycle of self-neglect is complete it includes the pains and sufferings which are the inevitable penalties inflicted by outraged Nature. The drain which to day is counted an -inconvenience, be comes in succeeding days a horrible and offensive stigma. The passing depression of an hour grows into a -permanent mel ancholy. jThe timely use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will save young women from suffering, as it will cure those who through neglect have become martyrs after marriage.

CIVIL OFFICERS ARE DEFIED. Net Allowed to Serve Warrants Ut the Arrest of Secretary of State Powers sod Capt. J. W. Davis Charted : With Murder of Goebel. By Telegnwn to ttie Moraine star. Fbahkfobt, Ky., March 10. The situation has reached a point of ex citement to-day almost approaching that of the stirring times immediately following the assassination of Mr. Goebel. The reinstatement of the mili tary power in complete control of the State executive building and refusal of the military authorities to allow the local police and civil officers to enter the building for the purpose of arrest ing Secretary of State Caleb Powers and Captain John W. Davis, charged with being accessories to the Qoebel assassination, and the probability of a conflict between the civil and military authorities - has made the situation look sericfasTX. This morning City Marshal Richard son applied at the executive building and demanded to be admitted for the purpose of arresting Powers and Da vis, but was turned back and the war rants were then turned over to Sheriff Sutter. The latter also presented himself at the executive building and demanded admittance. State House Surrouaded. Sheriff Sutter held a consultation with county attorney Polsgrove, Com mon wealth Attorney Franklin, and other officials. Meantime the police force had been doubled and a detail guarded each of the entrances to the State House grounds to prevent the men wanted from escaping. At the conference it was decided that the sheriff should summon a large reserve force of deputies to be called into use in the event it was decided to attempt to enter the building by force to make the arrests and in pursuance of this, the sheriff swore in fifty men, who were stationed in the neighborhood of the sheriff's office during the after noon. Sheriff Suiter made another at tempt to get an ' audience with Gov ernor Taylor this afternoon but was unsuccessful. The streets were fairly blocked with people in the vicinity, of the State House, but there was no open demon stration, though it was evident that the populace was on the side of the civil authorities. At 3 o'clock Sheriff Sutter, having failed to get any sort of understanding with the military au thorities, submitted the question to Democratic Governor Beckham to de cide to what extent the civil officers should go to gain admittance to the building for the purpose of malting? the arrests. , Spirited Away. Secretary of State Powers and Cap tain Davis were slipped aboard a Chesa peake & Ohio train at 8 o'clock and speeded toward Lexington. A squad of soldiers, coming from the Gov ernor's mansion at double quick, caught the train just before it pulled out. With them were Powers and Davis, dressed in soldiers' uniform, and before the guard of deputy sheriffs became aware of what was going on the train left. Calling the Militia. Baeboubstille, Ky., March 10. The warrant for the arrest of John T. Powers was received here today, but Powers could not be found and the warrant has not been served. He was seen here this morning and it is stated that he received a telegram about the warrant and urging him to stay in the mountains until assured of a fair trial. He immediately left for parts unknown. At the same time couriers were sent out on horseback over the country calling ' in the militia com pany. This company leaves late to night for Frankfort. The people of the town are greatly excited over the affair and one street fight has already occurred; A great many of the soldiers refuse to go, some of them being in hiding. A local attorney recognized Powers and also pointed out Davis. They were seized and hurried to jail. As the pro cession swept toward the jail some people started the report that there was to be a lynching and soon the streets were packed with people, an enormous crowd gathering about the jail. Davis, Powers and Peak were hurried to the upper cells, but Peak was later released on bond on a com mon warrant on the charge of resist ing arrest. The Associated Press correspondent saw Lieutenant Peak in company with bis attorney.' But he refused abso lutely to say a word. The correspou dent sought interviews with Powers and Davis but the -officers refused to permit any one to see them at that time. ' Both Were Disguised. . Davis and Powers were both dis guised. Both wore the regular soldier uniforms complete, even as to the leg gings. Davis had shaved off his mous tache and goatee. He had $125 in money on his person and a revolver. There was found on Powers $1,300. In the inside pocket of each man was found a pardon from Governor W. S. Taylor, duly signed and sealed. Attorney W. G. Dunlap, Postmaster F. O. Elkins and Attorney R. C Stoll called on Secretary of State Powers later and to the Associated Press cor respondent they stated that Powers told Dunlap substantially that he was not fleeing from arrest. He was simply getting away from Frankfort to avoid lying in jail as Whittaker had done; that he had done nothing to fear ar rest, as he was not guilty of the charge and that he was going to Barbours ville in the Eleventh Congressional district, where Taylor's jurisdiction was fully recognized. Captain Davis had little to say to them except that he thought he had made a mistake in leaving home, that he had nothing to fear from a trial. Neither explained his disguise. Talk of a Rescue. t Immediately after arriving at the jail a report got out that a special train went back to Frankfort for the purpose of bringing up men to rescue the prisoners. Sheriff Bosworth ap plied at once to the armory for a special detail of soldiers under Captain Longmire and they responded, arriv ing at the jail a few momeats later, prepared to resist the rumored proa pective attack. The sher.ff then desig nated a posse to supplement the squad of soldiers, providing trouble might come, and declared that any attempt to take either one of the prisoners from jail would be resisted to a finish, but it is generally believed this pre caution was altogether unnecessary The excitement began to subside by 11 o'clock. The railroads are closely watched, however, and any attempt at rescue would result seriously. Secre tary Powers was bleeding profusely when taken to his cell. He said he had been struck on the head with a club after reaching the inside of the jail, presumably by one of the arrest ing officers. There is much sup pressed excitement among the local Goebel politicians, as i' a coup were in prospect, but it is impossible to learn its true inwardness. The jail is earef ully and strongly guarded durir g the eight. Powers and Davis w,ould not be allowed bail. All the soldiers that accompanied Powers and Davis went on through on the same train, presumably "to Ashland, Kentucky. They were not . molested by officers, and Lieutenant Peak was taken because of his effort to resist the ar rests. Dr. Helm, the city physician, dressed the wounds -of Secretary of State Powers The officers say he showed fight and resisted arrest and was clubbed in the car and not in jail. Powers showed no concern for trie howling crowds alpng the street, but Captain Davis was" apprehensive of violence. The distinguished prisoners are kept in separate cells and not al lowed to see each other or to see other prisoners or any one except their guards. Previous to the arrival of the train the sheriff was telephoned to from Frankfort that he would get a reward of $1,000 for Powers and $500 for Davis if they were apprehended here. It is thought that they will - be taken back to Frankfort without delay, pos Bibly to-morrow.' Arrested In Lexingtoo. Lexington, Ky., March 10. On the arrival -of the Chesapeake and Ohio train from Frankfort at 8 40 to night. Secretary of State Powers, Captain Davis and Lieutenant Peak were arrested t y the Lexington police and the sheriff and deputies. There was a large force of officers awaiting them here. Powers and Davis still wore the uniforms of soldiers and Davis had on false whiskers. There was a wild scene when the officers broke into the car and revolvers were drawn by all but the small squad of soldiers, who were greatly outnum be red by the police force of this city and the large force of deputies with the sheriff. , Will Not Obey Taylor's Orders. Lexhtgtow. Ky., March 10. A telegram to Colonel Williams, com manding the Second Kentucky regi ment of the State Guards, came this afternoon in reference to moving the local troops under Governor Taylor's orders. Colonel Williams, only an hour before, had left for Connellsville, Ind., and Captain C. W. Loogmire, who is in charge of the companies and arms in the local armory, under orders of the Beckham administration took fifteen men to the armory and pre pared to hold the arms against any or dtrs from the Taylor administration. Captain Longmire is now in charge, and says he will resist any attempt at moving the arms under Taylor's or ders. No clash is expected here, be cause most of the local militia are Backham's sympathizers. The Tajlor officials at Frankfort were notified at once of Colonel Williams absence. Decision in Favor of Democrats. Loui3 ville, March 10. A decision sustaining the contention of the Demo crats that the Legislature is the tri bunal designated by the constitution for the determination of contests for the offices of Governor and Lieuten ant .Governor was handed dnwn in hthe Circuit Court this morning by judge fields. The Republicans will appeal the case to the State Court of Appeals, and if the decision there is against them they will try to get a hearing before the United States Su preme Court. CONTESTED ELECTION CASES. Everything Points to Representative Bel lamy Retaining His Seat Other Matters in Washington. Special Star Correspondence. Washington, D. C, March 7. The House, Thursday, will vote on the Aldrich Robbias contested election case from Alabama. Representative Weeks, of Michigan, will call up the Wise-Young case, of Virginia, imme diately after the Aldrich-Robbins case is disposed of, and try and force a vote before adjournment, but ma meet with opposition from Republicans who wish first to dispose of the Overstreet Currency bill. From the way the Republicans are pushing the different contested cases it is evident they are determined to unseat at once Bobbins, of Alabama, Young and Rhea, of. Virginia, Gilbert, of Kentucky, Crawford of North Caro Una, and Catchings, of Mississippi A great deal depends on the vote to-mor row on the Robbins cae. From what can be learned from different members everything points to Representative Bellamy retaining his seat. Representative Linney was about the House to day denying that Jie refused to pair with Representative Kluttz when the latter's daughter was dangerously ill at Baltimore, but said that he had been misquoted in the matter. The adverse comment on the affair, coming from all sides, evidently touched the "Bull" in the right spot. Wednesday was the first time in nearly a month that the entire North Carolina delegation were present in the House. Senator Butler is now 3een daily seated with Senator Pritchard and other Republican Senators and evi dently stems to be in their confidence.. Every one about the Senate predicts that the Senator not only wants but will receive the Republican nomina tion for Governor of North Carolina.

I The British Reply to President i Kruzer's Request forCessa- . tion of Hostilities. NO! YET READY TO TREAT. 9 Fighting Reported Near Helpmsker Lord Roberts Expected to Strike a Blow at Bloemfontein Soon It Is Feared Mafeking Will Fait By Cable to the HoraliiK Star. London, March 11, 2.12 A..M. In the absence of important news from the seat of war speculation is rife re garding the probability of an early peace. President Eruger's appeal to Lord "Salisbury for a cessation of hos tilities, announced on Friday, is taken as foreshadowing that the end. will soon be in sight. The goverment's views are probablv enunciated in the following semi offi cial statement issued last night; "It is understood that the govern ment does not consider that the time has yet come for any a ithorifative statement as to the ultimate terms of peace, and no member of the cabinet has authorized any published statement on the subject It is expected, of course, and gent-rally understood among all political' parties in this country, that so far as the South African republics are, concerned the status quo ar te bellum cannot remain unaltered after the close of hostilities. Their part in the system, which in volved a large measure of polit cal and military independence, will of course be materially modified as a result of the war, but the growing prospects of restored peace must . be further ad vanced before her M-j-ty's govern ment cau either finally formulate pro posed terms of settlement or make any annouucer,ent of their plan." , Boers Ask Cessation of Hostilities. Several papers announce that the government ou Tuesday received five messages from President Kruger and President Steyn, in Dutch, asking upon what terns a cessation of. hos tilities could be brought about The messages surprised and delighted the department concerned. While their ten r was understood, it was found necessary to summon persons thor oughly capable of interpreting the messages, all of which were filed at Bloemfontein. ; The cabinet convened on Wednes day to consider the messages and it is believed that an nncomprommr.g re ply was sent, which is known to nave reached Bloemfontein by the same means as the Boer cablegram reached the government. The naturefof the reply was such as to lead to a further but gradual retirement of he ,Boer forces. ; Jamestown, Cape Colony, . March 10 General Brabant's column left at daybreak to-day for Aliwal North. Situation Summarized. Spencer Wilkinson summarized the situation in South Africa for the Asso ciated Press at midnight as follows: "The fighting reported near Help maker is probably only the result of a reconnoissance, and it seems to be pre mature to assume that any movement in large force is in progress in that di rection. ' ' General Buller, as soon as com munications are in order, will certain ly do what he can to keep the Boer force in Natal engaged and to prevent them from being used to reinforce the army resisting Lord Roberts. I ex pect Lord K jberts to strike Bloemfon tein within a day or two. "As to Mafeking, if it is not relieved very soon the place must fall. One, therefore, hopes a brigade was sent up from Kimberley for its relief within a day or two of the evacuation of Mag ersfontein by the Boers. There has been time for su3h a column to reach Mafeking by road, but there is' no di rect evidence of its existence and the wish is father to the thought." ; WISE-YOUNG ELECTION CONTEST IN THE HOUSE. Lively Debate in the Senate on Dlplo matic and Cpnsnlar Appropriation Bill Hawaii Government Bill. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington, March 10. While the Senate bad the Diplomatic . and Consular appropriation bill under con sideration to-day, a lively debate was precipitated by an amendment propos ed by Senator Hoar, Massachusetts, proposing to g ve former Queen Lilu oakaloni of Hawaii $2'),000 aid an an nuity of $10,000. The amendment was tabled finally without division. The pending bill was passed with a few minor amendments. The remainder of the session was devoted to eulogies of the late Sena tor Haywood wno was elected h Sena tor from Nebraska, but died before the openiog of the present session of Congress. - House of Representatives. , The House agreed to-day to take up the bill providing a government for Hawaii on April 3rd, the fit.al vote to be taken on April 5tti at 4 P M. ; Consideration of the Wise-Young election contest was resumed and oc cupied the remainder of the session. Mr. Weeks, of Michigan, criticised election methods in various Southern States and compared them with the methods in the North. This was vig orously resented by Mr. Cooper, of Texas, and Mr. Terry, of Arkansas. Mr. Burke, Texas, presented the case in behalf of the contestee, Mr. Young. He said this case amounted to a proposition to disfranchise a city of 40,000 inhabitants (Norfolk) be cause of the illegality of not exceeding 140 votes. I Mr. Hull replied to a statement by Mr. Burke that Mr. Hanna, chair man of the Republican national committee,-had held that Mr. Holland was the regular candidate of the Republi cans in the Second Congressional dis trict of Virginia. Mr. Hull said that Mr. Hanna had made no such decision. The congressional committee ' had charge of that matter and had decided that Mr. Wise was the regular candi date, j The fact was, Mr. Hull said, that the Republican State organization in Vir- ?:inia was anxious to keep the Repub ican party large enough only to fill the Federal offices in the State. He con cluded with the statement that Mr. Wise was as regularly a candidate of the Republican party as any regular man in the House. Mr. Linney, North Carolina, spoke in support of Mr. Wise. After analy zing the case thoroughly, Mr. Linney concluded with an appeal to the House to support the claims of the contestant. At 4.12 P. M. the House adjourned. A cotton factory for Waynesboro, Ga , will be chartered next week. Fifty thousand dollars of the proposed capital of $100,000 has been taken and tne balance is in signi. SENSATIONAL SCANDAL.
