I suffered with falling and con gestion of the womb, with severe pains through the groins. I suf fered terribly at the time of men struation, had blinding headaches and rushing of blood to the brain. What to try knew not, for it seemed that I had tried all and failed, but 1 had never tried Wine of Cardui, that blessed remedy for sick women. 1 found it pleasant to take and soon knew that I had the right medicine. New blood seemed to course through my veins and after using eleven bottles I was a well woman. QsmAI Mrs. Bush is now in perfect health because she took Wine of Cardui for menstrual disorders, bearing down pains and blinding headaches when all other remedies failed to bring her relief.. Any sufferer may secure health by tak ing Wine of Cardui in her home. The first bottle convinces the pa tient she is on the road to health.

NAN PATTERSON IS NOW FACING JURY Search For Missing "Witnesses Enliven the Trial. DEAD MAN'S WIFE TO TESTIFY , Several Witnesses for the Prosecution Are Examined The Court Room H Crowded Prisoner Believes Sha Will Be Cleared of Murder Charge. New York, Nov. 22. Search for a missing witness who formerly has elud ed the detectives of the district attor ney's office and the possibility that on 9 of the central figures in the case tha dead man's widow would appear be fore the jury and tell her story, wer3 the points of special interest today, when the trial of Nan Patterson for tha ' alleged murder of Caesar Young wai resumed. In outlining his case yesterday A-s . . . . ... . . sistant District Attorney Rand, in- fr-A t, . tv, .. . formed the jury that the prosecution, 1 . , , , , after months of endeavor, had been un- T : sui;vcssiui in loixtuug j. Morgan omiui, who, he claimed, purchased the revol-' ver with which Young was killed. He hoped, however, that Smith would b brought forward by the defense at th proper time. Later in the day Miss Patterson's counsel, Mr. Levy, said the defense had no intention of produc ing Smith. : , Following the announcement it wa3 , ', said that the district attorney's office '. i renewed its search for the missing wit ' ; ness with the hope of locating him 0a -n v, I i before it is too late. ! Only the announcement that the de- fendant herself would go on the stand and tell of her acquaintance with Young could have created more public interest than the report that the dead bookmaker widow the case. Since the day her husband died Mrs. Young has remained in seclusion, ex cept when she called at the district attorney's office and testified befora the grand jury. During the trial she has not appeared in the court room, but it is said she has followed all tha : proceedings from an adjoining room, j j A big crowd was present in tha i court room when the trial fwas re I sumed.

E. R. Hender son, former auditor of the Macon and Birmingham railroad, has confessed judgment in the sum of $47,000 in the civil suit brought against him growing out of his alleged defalcation of thai amount from the railroad. He gave as his reason for this step, which allows the road to take judg ment against him, tliait he did not wish to expose his defense in the criminal case which is also against him and will be tried at the present term ol court. The step taken by Mr. Henderson came as a great surprise to many of his friends and leaves the impression that he will spring a considerable sen-1 sation-when the criminal action against! him is called Henderson was jointly indicted with Julian R. Lane, general manager of the rocd, and both cases will be heard at the prsent term of court. ALABAMA WOMAN PLEADS LAW. The First Female to Enter the. Profles sion in that State.

Sutton, was called this morning, and after half a day spent in hearitts motions for tem- murrers to indictment, all of which were overruled, the trial proper began at 2 o'clock.

Erackin The little giri testified along the line a of former reports, telling of ho Sut ton seized her while on the back porch buggy, and drove with her 30 miles the same night, carrying her to the home of Ben Russell, in Baker county, and leaving her. j She also described with downcast eyes and choking voice how he had at tempted criminal assault upon her per son, tearing her clothing in his efforts.

B. Owens, at the Methodist church at Carlisle. The father of the young bride, Mr. J. F. Willard, who is a farmer and re sides about S miles from Carlisle, was in town lately and swore out a warrant against Vaughan for abduction, and stated that it was probable that he would also prosecute the minister for performing the ceremony, as the girl was not of age, and it is understood that 'he nas been persuaded to 'hold th ematter in regard to both in abey ance, until his indignation has cooled down and he can act calmly.

TRIPLE LYNCHING NARROWLY AVERTED Feeling Over Murderous Work of Negroes Awful Bitter. BLACKS GUARDED BY MILITIA Intense Excitement Prevails at Trial of Negroes Who Were Charged with Ki,lin9 ManOriiy by the Hardest I Work Were Prisoners Saved. Lexington, Ky., Nov. 22. A mob threatninS to negroes , in jail here on the charge ot murder- ing a white man last Saturday night ' and attempting to kill other white peo-; pie, dispersed as day dawned. Tha troops and extra police have also re-, tired and the jail is now guarded by ' deputies. It is believed that all dan- ger of lynching is passed as the author' ities cannot now be taken by surprise. and the jail will be well guarded at night with the troops in readiness for caliu. j The preliminary hearing of the ne- groes today was the cause of much ex- citement. They were taken to the courthouse about 11 o'clock in a pa- trol wagon guarded by 12 policemen. A large crowd had gathered at the jail and tne stree-s were lined with shout- Ing people. The patrol wagon waa driven at breack-neck speed to the for midnight and Sunday closing ol courthouse where, after a brief hear- saloons. He had also been active for ing the negroes were held to the grand the secret service corporation in ha I jury. The same exciting scenes marked beas corpus proceedings in which the return of the men to the jail.

While officers will not divulge the destination, Louisville is mentioned as the place to which they will be taken. Attorneys for the negroes desire this done, and they will probably be re moved before night. Public indignation was intensified by another outrage when a negro pushed fvm a ?t?.2oa the lO-yss-old m of tha murdered man, the boy's leg being broken. HEAVY SNOWS IN ENGLAND. Prevent King of Portugal and Party From Going Hunting. London, Nov. 22. Keen frost and ! heavy snow squalls are reported from all parts ofthe United Kingdom. A gale raged all night long over the coasts driving vessels to shelter and seriously dislocating the telegraph wires and especially in the north part of England and Scotland. Blinding snowstorms are causing deep drifts, rendering traffic difficult in the country districts and are neces sitating a cessation of outdoor work in many of the provincial towns. In London little snow has fallen, but a sharp fall in temperature is accentu ating the distress among the poor, which is already prevalent. The snow is so deep at Charlesworth that the King of Portugal and others of the house paTty there have been prevented from shooting. Some small crafts have been wreclced J Up to the present time November has been unusually mild and the sudden j change is causing much misery. j Wintry weather seems general- in j Europe, frost being reported as fat ; south as Naples. MET DEATH IN SUBWAY. Peculiar Accident which Results Fa tally to a Signal Man. New York, Nov. 22. A peculiar ac cident in the subway which resulted in the instant death of William H. McMillan, a signal man, has caused great excitement among the pasengers aboard an express train who for a few minutes before announced that tha train was on fire and tried to escape. McMillan had been adjusting a sig nal when the train rushed upon him. The third rail arm on the first car threw him down and he was instantly killed. His clothing caught the emer. gency trigger, threw off the current and set the air brakes on the whole train which stopped very suddenly. The cars jammed together by the sudden impact and the iron gate fell to the third rail, causing a short circuit, Blue flames shot up around the cars and frightened the passengers almost out of their wits, but the guards re mained coolly at their posts, refusing to open the doors, and in a few min utes the scare died out.

Financial troubles are said to be respon&iDle for the rash deed. He was a member of the firm of Burbank & Hcskins, state managers of the Aetna Life Insurance company. Hio business partner says Hoskins had no financial trouble that he knew of. HOUSE WRECKED BY BOMB Home of Prominent Attorney Almost Destroyed by Explosion. Omaha, Neb., Nov. 22. The home of Elmer Thomas, a prominent lawyer of this ciiy and president of tha CiYia Federation, kas badly wrecked by a bomb placed on. the front porch at 2 o'clock this morning. Mr. Thomas and his family were in the house- at tha time and he considers it miraculous that none of them were injured. Mrs. Thomas was awakened about 2 o'clock by a noise on the front porch ftnd aroused her husband, believing that burglars were trying to enter the 1. . n r mi- : house. Mrs. Thomas began an in vestfgation and discovered a fire on the front porch. Mr. Thomas picked UP a lare ru an attempted to smoth er the name when a terrific explosion occurred. Although but a few feet from the missile he escaped injury. The front wall of the house was blown in, doora were shattered and an immense hole torn in the ground. The interior of the building is a wreck, A squad of police were on the scena in a short time, but no clew to the per. petrators of the deed could be found, The man evidently made a hasty escape after setting the fuse which ex- ploded the bomb. Mr. Thomas saw no one leaving the premises. The ex- plosion was heard for 3 miles. I Attorney Thomas had been active for some time in the prosecution of sa- IoOQ keepers charged with a violation of the Slocum audience which nroviAaa Express Company Employe Abscondi With Securities. New rk, Nov. 22. Behind the pub lication by a detective agency in WaH street of a notice warning brokers and bankers that the assignment on two certificates for 100 shares of United States SteeL preferred stock, worth about $78,000, and one certificate foi B0 shares of Michigan Copper Mining stock worth about $500 had been forged is a report that the certificates i were stolen by a trusted employe ol.'lsin. Edward Breitung, of Marquette. It is also stated that the employe cl the express company asked for a va cation three weeks ago. After he had gone Breatung learned that the man had left no definite address and told different persons various stories as to his destination. Suspicion was aroused and an examination of the safety de posit box to which the man had access was hurriedly made. It is said to have resulted in the discovery that several hundred shares were missing besides the certificates mentioned. Breitung hurried east and found that the man already had transferred soma of the shares to his own name. Owing to the form of assignment which the certificates bore there is some question as to who will have to bear the loss. USED THE MAILS FRAUDULENTLY Chicago Man in the Toils for Violating the Postal Laws. Chicago, Nov. 22. Many complaints made to the Chicago postofflce con-, cerning the use of the United States mails fraudulently have resulted in the arrest of Charles Sturtz. A number of complaints irom various parts of the country will probably ap pear to prosecute him. . Charles Eberting, of Maynard, Iowa, alleged that he received a letter from Sturtz who claimed that the' presiden- cy of the "Central" railroad bureau o! Chicago wanted men. Eberting said he was informed that for $3 he would be taught the various signals and in - formation necessary to become a fire man and for an additional $10 he would be given a position. He paid tha money, but lanea to secure the pos tion and finally asked the postal au thorities to investigate the case. Wants President as Arbitrator.

Heavy Imports from Japan. San Francisco, Nov. 22. The collec tor of the port of San Francisco says exceptionally large amounts of Japa nese goods are coming here, and that , the increase of importations has been ! so large that the custom house officials i cannot handle the goods. The occa- sion of the exceptionally heavy impor tations is that the Japanese people are offering their manufactures at low prices in order to help raise money for carrying oa tne war with Russia, TWELVE LIVES LOST IN TENEMENT FIRE Origin of Conflagration Believed To Have Been Incendiary. MANY CAUGHT IN DEATH TRAP Firemen and Police Unable to Enter Burning Building on Account of the Fierceness of Flames A Mother Barely Saved When Child Is Born. New York, Nov. 22. Twelve lives were lost in a fire at No. 186 Trautmau street, Brooklyn, which is believed by the police and fire department officials, who have investigated it, to be the most infamous case of incendiarism in that city in many years. It is the theory of Police Captain Becker, of the Hamburg street police j station, that the fire was the work of ' a Sicilian firebug working out a scheme of hatred and revenge against an enemy. The dozen who died were trapped on the third floor of the house by the flames, which spread quickly from the cellar and from the rear of the house as well. The house, described by Roundsman Anthony, of the Hamburg avenue po- Uce station, as a death trap, was fitted with makeshift iron ladders reaching down to the second floor only, and making it impossible for the police tn enter the house in that way and res cue those who had fallen, overcome by smoke, on the upper floor. Only one man escaped from the third floor of the building, and he is now in St. Nicholas hospital suffering from severe burns. The occupants of the entire third floor, with this one excep tion, died before they could be rescued. Although deaths were caused only In No. 186, the three houses on one side and two on the other, were burned out by the flames, which spread quick ly in either direction. The fact that fire blazed up with such sudden fierce ness and swept through the houses with such rapidity is regarded as one of the best reasons for suspecting an incendiary cause, as every fireman en gaged in battling with the flames was struck with the peculiar aspect of the fire, and recognized the flames as strangely similar to those of oil-fed or- The dead are as follows: Mrs. Catharina Bolognio, 56, and her five children Maria, 24 ; Anita, 10 ; Cas pan, G; Catherina, 2, and Caligiro, 3. Giuseppi Drilo, 56; his wife, Maria, 56, and his daughter, Lidi, 15. Anna Ambrosio, 30, and her sister, Nina Ambrosio, 15. Mrs. Carrie Martin lay ill on the top floor of No. 188. Her family was in a frenzy of despair when the flames advanced. The sick woman was placed on blankets and carried carefully through the smoke-filled halls to the home of friends at No. 185, across the street. There she gave birth to a 13-pound boy while the fire was raging across the street. Mother and chiiti apparently suffered but little ill effects, There was a frail, makeshift fire e cape upon the rear part of the build- .ins in Wthich deaths occurred, but It was impossible to use it, as the flames swept upward and wrapped th fire escape its entire length. It was almost white hot when the firemen ar rived. That the fire was the infamous work of incendiaries, is the belief of every official of the fire and police depart- mats who has made any attempt at in vestigation. I To Restore Flag on High Seas. j Cleveland, O., Nov., 22. At a meet ing of the prominent business men hero , at the Union club the national mer- cantile marine league of the United States has been organized with the ob- ! jeet of restoring the American flag to ' its proper place on the high seas.

An aban doned counterfeiters' office with com plete outfit for the making of spu lous silver half dollars has been discovered in a thicket of Buillett park. In all, 15 dies were secured, together with a Quantity of supplies. Memoranda found with the tools show that approx imately $4,000 were made before the camp was located, on which the coun terfeiters figured to realize a profit of 95 per cent. Investigation proves that the operators disguised themselves aa women and so avoided suspicion. Three Sisters Wed Three Brothers. Chippewa Falls, Wis., Nov. 22.- -Rev. E. M.
