v k: y V A TRAINED NURSE After Years of Experience, Advises Women In Regard to Their Health. Hn. Martha Pohlman of BS Chester Avenue, Newark, N. J., who ia ft. graduate Nurse from the Blockley Training School, at Philadelphia, and for six years Chief Clinio Nurse at the Philadelphia' Hospital, writes the letter : printed below. She has the advantage of personal experience, besides her professional education, and what she has to say may be absolutely relied upon. "- . Many other women are afflicted as she was. they can regain health in the same way. It is prudent to heed such advice, from such a source. Mrs, Pohlman writes: : "1 am firmly persuaded, aftereieht years of experience with Lydia E. Finkham's . Vegetable Compound, that it H toe safest and best medicine for any suffering woman to use. - 'Immediately after my marriage I found that my hoJU wean to fall roe, I be ' came weak and pale, with se vere bearing-down paint, f ear ful backaches and frequent diny spells.

It was as bad a rase of female trouble as I have ever known. Lydia E. Plnkhams Vegetable Compound, however, cured me within four months. Bince that time I have had occasion to recommend it to a number of patients suffering from all forms of female difficulties, and I find that while it is considered unprof tmional to rec ommend a patent medicine. I can honestly recommend Lydia K. Finkham's Vegetable Compound, for , I have found that it cures female ills, where all other medicine fails, it Is a grand medicine for sick women."

No other medicine has such a record of cures of female troubles. The needless suffering of women from diseases peculiar to their sex is terrible to see.

GUAIUUNG A RAILR.OAD IN TH2 "BANDIT By William MacLeod Raine.' fFor years train robbery has been a lucrative and flourishing Industry ia the United States, and of late "hold ups'' have occurred with alarming frequency. Re cently, however, the Union .Pacific Railroad resolved to exterminate the outlaws .who systematically proved upon its trains, and the plan adopted is likely, to have far-reaching reiults. Mr. Rome describes the wsy in which the Union Pscifie "bandit belt" is now ssiegusrdedJ OT long ago" train robbery was a lucrative profession in the Western States of America. To-day it Is on Its lost legs. ' Several fact ors have contributed to this desirable result. The extension of the long distance telephone to the ranch lands, followed hard upon the heels of the settlement of the caw country, was the first set back to the flourishing Industry, Now the Union Pacific Railroad has put another stum bling block In the way ot the outlaw. It was not enough that the where abouts of the escaping desperadoes could be ..telephoned from point to point ahead ot them, which necessi tated their confining operations to the wilder parts of the country. The Union Pacific had a plau to put them out ot business altogether, and the flat has gone forth from headquarters that the organized bands of train robbers which have been operating lu the "ban dit belts" are to bo exterminated. The territory of the different "bau silt belts" throughout the western half of the United States bas for a long time been clearly defined, oue stretches across Texas to Arizona, along the Southern Pacific line; another zigzags through the Colorado Mountains to the country about the well-known Rob bers' Roost. A third and tbe most dan gerous of all belts Wyoming lu the rough cow district, where lies the no torious Hole-lu-the-Wnll country. Here, among the Teton Mountains, far from the reach of the long arm of tho law, there lurked for lnany years a no madic population composed of "cattle rustlers, highwaymen aud .fugitives from Justice. Tho district was a nftt ual fortification, and every settler lu It had a grudge ngulnst tbe law. Here desperadoes were safe from a sheriffs posse; the wings of tho wlud whis pered the approach of officers, and long before the emissaries of Justice bad reached the spot their quarry had fled. The Hole-in-tbe-Wall is a valley sit uated la the Western part ot Natrona County, Wyoming. It lies among the fuothllls southeast of the Big Horn Mountains. The nearest railroad point is more than a hundred miles away. Casper, Cody and Rawlins arc tbe nearest towns, and theso are about one hundred and fifty miles distant. Circled by Inaccessible mountains, in habited by desperate cut throats, and situate beyond the utmost rim of civ ilization, for long the IloIe-In-thc-Wall was a safe haven for the flotsam and Jetsam of Western crime. It was from this place that the fa mous "Butch"' Cassidy gang sallied forth at intervals to hold up trains, dynamite bonks and rob stages. After ".jl Jn tt'"1 t iffV'T' ti desperadoes, ynpei of officials, liupenuTTtl from arrest. This gang formed a veritable trust in outlawry, but slowly and surely tho forces of tho law have exacted payment from them for their misdeeds. Out of all the desecrate dozen of fear less men who made up the baud but two ore at liberty. They are "Butch" Cassidy himself and Harry Long baugb, "The Sun-Dance Kid," and both of these have been forced to leave the country. The others are either dead or In prison. Tho well-known "Rlack Jack" Ket cbum and his brother Sam, both as desperate ruffians as ever existed; handsome Ben Kilpatrick, whose dash ing .ways and beautiful eyes made him a favorite with women; tbe Cur ry brothers, fearless men and lawless, both of them; Matt Warner, Tom O'Dny, David Lentz, Elza Say, Bill Carver ' and others belonged to this redoubtable band of robbers. Each of them was a dead shot and ever ready to shoot. It naturally followed that every railroad within reach was held np by this precious gang. At Wilcox, Wyoming, on June 2d. 1809, a Union Pacific train was stopped by a half dozen armed men. . They forced the engineer and tralu crow to uncouple tbe engine and express car from the train. Then they ran the locomotive down the line for a mile, blew up tbe express car, and looted it. Their haul was only three thou sand dollars. Immediately on hearing of the rob bery Sheriff Union, of Converse Coun ty, set out in pursuit. It was believed that the robbers would be beaded off by the Platte River, which was In tbe flood, but they succeeded in swimming It on stolen horses. Where they went Sheriff Hasen could go, atfd bis posse took the water as well. It was a close race, but Haxen won. The flying robbers were forced to turn and fight at Elk Mountain. It iwas a rough and broken country, and tbe outlaws bad the advantage ot knowing every inch of it From be hind boulders and brushwood they held off the posse five men against two hundred. Hazen exposed himself, nd next moment reeled back with a bullet through his heart. Darkness fell, and the gang slipped away across the mountains Into the Hole-ln-tho-Wall. George Curry, Harvey Logan and Bob Lee were alt kuown to be in this affair. Then came another daring train rob bery on tho Union Taclflc line. At Tipton, Wyoming, on August 20th, 1000, Harvey Logan, George Kilpat rick and "BUI" Cruzon beaded tbe masked hold-ups who stopped a pass enger train. Again the mall and ex Sress car was uncoupled, tun up tbe ne, and blown up with dynamite. Fortunately the safe was practically empty, so that tbe robbers only cot thirty dollars. Joe La Fors took the trail at once with a posse. For dsys toe trail was loiiowed, but was final ly lost in the heavy timber near the Utah line. Tho bandits had disap peared somewhere in the notorious Bobbers' Roost country, Then came energetic action at the Union Pacific headquarters. A body of Rangers were organized to defend tbe line, under the command of Tim Keliher. From that day to this travel through the "bandit belt" on the Union Pacific line, so far as robbers go; bas been as snfo as tsklng a Journey, from London to Liverpool, Every train carries with it one or more armed guartis. vney ride on the engine, in the baggage car, on the day, coaches, ur lu tUe sleepers, being instructed BELT.' ; . not to stay always at one point ot the train. Any gang of bandits at tacking a Union Pacific train now will know it has to reckon on a stiff fight, for not only is each train guard ed, but somewhere up or down the line la the patrol body of Rangers, ready to be shipped to the danger zone as fast as steam can carry them. Through, the Hole-in-the-Wall runs n telephone line, which has made it un tenable for tbe outlaws, and Robbers' Roost will soon be no safer, Tho organ, izatton of Rentier's Rangers is the be. ginning of the end,' Other railroads will follow the example of the enter prising "U. P." and take similar pre cautions for the safety of their ex press cars and passengers. At Parachute, Colorado, the "Butch" Cassidy gang recently gave evidence of its continued activity. On June 7th, 1004, a train was held up, but no booty secured. An untiring pursuit was Instituted and tbe robbers were run down near Rifle, Colorado. In the fusillade that followed tbe outlaw leader was badly wounded. He was heard to shout to his com rades, "Don't wait for me, boys. I'm all lu. Good-bye." Next moment he sent a ballet through his own brain, Tbe notorious "Kid" Curry had gone to his last account. Tbe other men escaped for the time, but this attempt marks nearly the close of what was once a very flourishing industry. . The personnel of Tim Keliber's Ran gers practically ensures the efficiency of the corps. First there is Tim Keli her himself, a big man, weighing, two hundred and twenty pounds, who is nevertheless as lithe and sinewy as a cat, lie is modest to an unusual de gree, but Is as brave as a lion. Keli her Is the chief of the Wyoming branch of the Union Pacific secret ser vice. Ho Inaugurated his acceptance of the position by breaking up at once an organized band of train employes who were preying on the company and robbing It of thousands of dollars. Four ot these employes went to pris on, ten ot them were confined In tbe county gaol and fined, twenty of them lost their positions. Keliher was a much bated man, but he went on quiet ly with his work. The rest of the Ranger company are ns noteworthy as their chief. Joe Ln Fors is a deputy United States marshal and cattle detective known all over the West. He It was who brought to Justice tbe notorious Tom Horn, who was hanged at Cheyenne for killing settlers at so much per bend for the big cattle companies. La Fors, Tom Mcggeson and Pat Lawson are among the best trailers In the conn deed, Keliher says follow a trail ai was sherl Geoi i1rWSeTS1WeapTS All or'theiu" ate dead shots and "as gauio as wild cats." At Cheyenne may be found the head quarters of the Rangers. At this place their specially fitted car Is kept when It Is not on tbe road. In point of fact, It Is nothing more than a baggage car prepared to accommodate them. In one end of It stand the horses, while at tbe other Is accommodation for the A number ot folding cots, a score ot blankets, half a dozen cow punchers' saddles, a pack saddle, a rack for arms, some canteens, a tin stove, aud a pantry are all packed Into this narrow compass. This pantry contains such necessaries as coffee, ba con, flour, canned goods and salt. Some times, wlillo on the trail, the Rangers kill a cow and cook It on their camp fires. Of course, these cots and other Impedimenta are not carried while ac tually following outlaws. Then tbe men travel as light as possible, tbeir heaviest baggage being the arsenal ot weapons which each one has with him. Chief Keliher keeps ln close touch with all bis men, and can, within thir ty minutes of the time of lecelvlng a wire, get his car under way for the scene of the hold-up. A special engine stands ready In the yards at Cheyenne. The men are summoned, tbe horses are burrled from their stable by the gang-plank, and into the nlgbt goes steaming the Rangers' special, with a clear right of way over every train on tbe track. Within six hours they can be at any point ot attack within the "bandit belt." Suppose a train to be attacked at midnight By daybreak Joe La Fors and Meggeson will be. fol lowing the trail with eagle eyes. The horses also are picked out of a hundred candidates. They are native Westerners like their riders, and each of them is as tireless as bis master. Strong legged and wiry, they never look for tbe end of the road. The district which is patrolled lies between Medicine Bow, one hundred mile west of Cheyenne and Green Rlvn', Wyoming, It covers about one hundred and fifty miles of broken rock country, which la very little known and sparsely settled. Here the line swings through the ' bad ' lands about Point of Rocks, Wamsutter, Fort Steele and Red Desert If the day Is clear enough the mountains surround ing tbe Hole-ln-tbe-Wall may be seen ln the distance. The worst part of the line are, of course, patrolled most Red Desert Is a sheep grazing coun try, and is not used by the herders ln summer. " Riding swiftly across this desert, a band ot train robbers could reach the railroad with being detect ed. It Is to forestall this that the Ranger ride the line. Both men and horses are kept la constant requisition to patrol the line and watch for suspicious eboracter. Occasionally the car is sent out to Medicine Bow or Point of Rocks as tbe case may te. Here the Rangers and their horses are unloaded. They ride along tbe line, watching for sus picious characters of whom they may have heard, Meanwhile their special follows a parallel course, keeping in itouch with the men and picking them np at any point agreed upon. At no time do the men get more than a mile oft two from their wheeled base ot gnuolles, unless tbey are on an actual CUae. 1 ua v iub unu mnjuiiuc -A - "W V It It estimated by the Commonwealth statistician that since 181K1 the popuia tlotr. ot Australia has gained 27,658 by nevti arj-Jr,' 8d to" MW V depart- tires," AN ACT OF CONSCIENCE. . .

He dlduit forget to malt the letter, but when he reached the box where be had expected to post it he found he bad lost It out of his pocket.

In the course of time the girl who wrote the first note received a reply from her Invited guest (It does seem ss If the girls were pretty well mixed here, but It Is to be hoped that the reader will understand), saying: "I received your letter ln the same mall with the one Fred, wrote, saying he had lost It.

These organisations employed an attorney especially to represent them, who urged that such a reduction would work against the prosperity ot tbe State and lead to a reduction ln tbe number of railroad employes as well as of their wages.
