If a girt is nervous and irritable ten chances to one it is due to some trouble peculiar to womanhood. Cupid has no place in a girl's' heart if she is nervous and irritable, feels dragged down, worn out for no reason that she can think of.- The weak back, dizzy spells and black circles about the eyes are only symp toms.

So sure of it is the World's Dispensary Medical Asso ciation, the proprietors of Dr. Tierce's Fa vorite Prescription, that they offer I500 reward for women who cannot be cured of leucorrhea, female weakness, prolapsus, or falling of the womb. All they ask is a fair and reasonable trial of their means of cure.

AMERICAN COTTON COMPANY. Owaers ef New Roasd Lap Bale Process for Balls j Propose ts Raise $!, 500,000 Addltleaal Capital. By TolegTapn to ine morning Star. New York, Aug. 20. William Nel son Cromwell, counsel for the reor ganlxatlon committee of the American Cotton Company, made to-day a state ment which says In part: "The American Cotton Company began operations In 1898, upon the In troduction of the new round lap bale process for baling the staple product of the South ; over $1,000,000 has been Invested la the introduction of the round lap bale In the United States and In Europe, it being protected by patents, both at home and abroad. The company owns a large press foundry in Chicago and injnine Southern elder owns eigniy-inree ourerent plants, and also leases out presses at 215 other points. Agencies for the sale of the product in the United Btates,' France, England, Italy and Russia are estab lished. Its business last year amount ed to over $15,000,000. , - "In establishing this large organiza tion and accomplishing these results the working capital ' has been con sumed; no mortgage Hen, however, exists, upon any of the property. An additional working capital fund of $1,500,000 Is considered by the man agement advisable for the effective and p.osperous operation of business and to provide this fund adjustment of the capitalization of the company has become necessary. Accordingly, an organization committee, consisting of Cornelius N. Bliss. A. D. Julllard. J. Edward Simons, E. O. Converse, wm. u, levering ana Maxwell Wood hull, has been formed. "ine principal feature of the affair Is that the creditors and stockholders are to unite in the purchase of the new first mortgage bonds in the pro portion of twenty per cent upon the .holdings of creditors, twenty per cent, upon the holdings of preferred stock and five p:r cent up on the holdings of common stock,and that the creditors convert their hold ings into seven per cent', preferred stock, having preference both as to dividends and upon liquidations, and being further secured by the provision that no mortgage or increase of pre ferred stock shall ever be made with out the consent of 80 per cent, of such new preferred stock. . "Therefore ,by the consummation of the plan the reorganized company will continue operation with ample work ing working capital, a mortgage in debtedness of but $1,500,000 and with all present floating indebtedness dls- cnargca. "The holders of a very large amount of Indebtedness and stock of the com pany have already consented to the plan." THE STAR LOVERS. Ancient Japanese Legend of the 7th of July.

Leaving the kitchen be shut the door. The stranger came on. As ha did 80 Molly Drake fixed her eyes upon him in wonder. The color reft her cheek, and she bit ber lip to restore her equanimity. As the man approached1 he, too, started, but the woman cost a meaning glance toward her husband and pat her linger to her Hps. "When the newcomer and the woman met they were Introduced by the husband as strangers. "Molly, this is Mr. Sydney, a gentle man from New York looking for min ing property." Mr. Sydney and Mrs. Drake nodded to each other, and Drake, evidently fearing that the purchaser might get a look into the kitchen, soon took him away, but not before Sydney and Mrs. Drake bad managed to make an ap pointment to meet that evening In the wood back of the cabin. As soon as dark came John Drake harnessed a horse to a cart and, taking the salted ore, drove away. He had scarcely gone when his wife went back into the wood. Sydney Was waiting. "Mollyl" "George!" It was the old story of a lovers' mis understanding. George gydney had gone off thinking that Molly Parker bad dismissed bim, Molly thinking that be would come back. After a time John Drake, who had the name of be ing a money maker and bad accumu lated some means, won and married her. Hearing of a gold strike on Wolf creek In the far west, he had taken his money and gone there to be on band for a good investment. Sydney began to speak of the cause of their estrangement "That's all past George," interrupt ed the woman. "What are you doing here?" "My father and certain friends of his have great confidence In the gold pro ducing qualities of this place and have sent me toHmy. any property that looks well. When I fell In with John Drake I" "Yes, yes. What are you going to do with this property if you buy it?" "Work It" "Organize a company to boom the stock and sell out?" "Mollyl" "Or get what there is in It for the purchasers?" . "If we buy a mine, I am to stay here and manage it." She stood a moment thinking, then said, "Come with me" . Taking bim to her cabin, she opened the kitchen door and with a candle held low showed him the dust left from the mixed ores. "If you buy his property, that's the sample you will buy it on." He looked at her In wonder. "Do you mean" he began. "That John has gone to salt the hole where be claims be has struck the Sal ly Ann vein." For a few moments Sydney contln UBed to look at her as If some great mistake was being made. Then he ex claimed bitterly: "Oh, Molly, why did you send me away?" "Go. I have nothing more to tell you; no further warning." "Go? And leave yoO here with a man you can't respect Got I will only go If you go with me." "Neither the law of the land nor of God permits that George. Go." When John Drake drove the team np to his cabin at midnight and put it away he went Into the house and found hie wife awaiting him. "John," she said, "you'll find the house In order and provisions for the rest of the week. I'm going back to my father." The man started as If he had been struck. "For heaven's sake, Molly, what do you mean?" "I mean that I will not live with a dishonest man." . 1 . Something In the resolute tone of her voice told bim that she was not to be dissuaded. He saw her pass away In the darkness and, going into the house, feU on his face. He had considered "salting" ore not as a criminal of fense, but a shrewd operation. Sydney made every effort to Induce Mrs. Drake to take some action with a view to their possible union, but she Steadily refused. Ten years later ncr husband died, and she married the man she should have married in the first place. CHARLOTTE ATWOOD.
