It isn’t done
by others-that’s why the guarantee
of Dr. Pierce’ 8 Favorite Prescription
should command attention. It’s a.
uarantee that means something.
f the medicine doesn’t give satis-
faction, in every case for which it’s
recommended, the money is prompt-
ly 1efunded. Remarkable terms-
but it’s a remal kable medicine. All
the functional irregularities and
weaknesses peculiar to Womaiikind
are cured by it. For leucorrhea,
periodical pains, weak back, prolap-
sus and other displacements, bearing-
down sensations, and all “female
complaints,” it’s an unfailing rem-
edy. It is a p0w_erfu1 restora-
tive tonic and- nervine, gimpart‘in'g
strength and vigor to the Whole
system.
Try it, if you’re an ailing woman.
If it doesn’t help you, you have
.your money back.
As a regulator and promoter of
functional action, at that critical
period of change from girlhood to
womanhood,“ Favorite Prescrip-
tion ” is a pelfectly safe remedial
agent, and can produce only good
results.

present encampment memorable in the
history of the order.
Detroit presents a beautiful appearance
under the summer sun. Never before
'in her history has she been decked in
such gorgeous attire. From the wharves
on the river front, away back into the
agricultural suburbs, there is hardly a
residence or business house, store or offl-
cial building upon which the national col-
ors are not displayed. Many of them are
literally enveloped in hunting of artistic
design, while strips of canvas bearing sen-
tences of greeting are to be encountered a

The Arches.
The most Imposing arch over Fort street, .
at Griswold, is intended to represent Peace,
in sympathy with the prevailing senti-
ment of the week. It is built to represent
marble. Heavy pillars, iiiclosiug on three
sides of the street a balustrade, support

built light and. Open. and. contains a mag-V

When the much heralded Washington
delegation pulled into the Third Street
depot. its train was gayly decorated in
national colors, the first coach containing
the citizens’ committee bearing the silver
invitation. With the Washington dele-
gation came a distinguished looking body
of Women, and, besidé's being dietinguished
lookihg, nearly all of them have attained
distinction' 1n one way or another.
Among them were Mrs. Nellie Prentice,
president of the Woman’s Relief corps
auxiliary to the Army of the Potomac;
Miss Lavena. Chase, superintendent of the
Soldiers’ National Temperance home; Miss
Harriet P. Dane, president of the Army
Nurses’ association; Mrs. S. B. Jennings,
who has organized more Chautauqua
circles than any other living woman,
and Mrs, M. D. Lincoln (Bessie Beach),
president of the VVoman' 8 National Press
association. This afternoon the Old
Guard arrived from Washington and cre-
ated quite a. sensation.
The Next Commander.
For the position to be vacated by Com
mandarin Chief Veazey there is considera-
ble strife,
are Colonel William R. Smedburg, of San
Francisco; A. G. Weissert, of MiIWaukee;
Brevet Brigadier General Samuel H.
Hurst, of Chillicothe, 0., and Colonel C.
P. Lincoln, of Washington. Weissert ap-
pears to be in the lead, although Smedburg
is pressing him close. As to the preference
for the next encampment it seems to be all
Washington. The Nebraska men are do
1113 hard work for Lincoln, however.

NEW YORK, Aug 455.3411 e’bAdypfn beau
tiful young woman about twenty Yetifs' 6
age was found about a third of a mile
from Myers’ cigarette factory, at Glen
dale, L I.. From the: appearances of the
body it looked as if.~thel murder had been
committed at some distiincp. undithe body
taken to where it was found. Although
the place where the body was found igsa'n
exceptionally muddy swamp, the clothing.
was quite dry and the shoes almost un.
touched by mud. The tongue was pro
. tending from the mouth, and marks of
four finger-s and a thumb were plainly
'diSCernible on the throat.
The dead girl was about 4 feet 9 inches
high, with jet black hair and dark eyes.
She wore a black cashmere dress over two
petticoats, one white and the other red.
She wore black kid gloves and high but-
toned boots. On one of the fingers of the
left hand was a'ring set with rubies, con-
taining the letters ‘fN. to H.’_’ 0n the
middle finger of the right hand was a
small plain gold ring,
The discovery of the body drew nearly
everybody in the village to the spot, but
no one had ever seen the murdered girl.
Dr. Vincent A. Judge, of Maspeth, made a
post mortem examination of the body and
said that the girl had come to her death
by strangulation. The police will investi-

LONDON, Aug. 4..—'I‘he reports of the
conclusion-of an actual offensive and de-

sia are: not'readily credited anywhere in
Europe, and it' is not thought at all prob-
able that anything like a general and
widespreading agreement between these
powers has been seriously thought of on
either side.
The fact of the matter is the German
navy greatly exceeds the strength of the
Russian Baltic fleet, and is, therefore,a
standing menace to the safety of St.
Petersburg in the event of war betWeen
Germany and Russia.

The Times’ St Petersburg correspond-
ent records a rumor that the czar has al-

have signed the draft of a treaty brought
to Russia. by Admiral Gervais of the
French squadron.
The Standard’s Wien correspondent
scouts the idea of a regular alliance be?
tWeen France andRussia, but thinks that
Admiral Gervais discussed with the Rue.
sian officials the details of apossible co-
operation on the part of the Russian and
French fleets. The correspondent points
out that it would be impossible for large
ironclads to pass directly through the
sound into the Baltic.
Admiral Gcrvais found that he had to
take the route of the Great Belt and to
pass the Gulf of Mecklenburg. This, in
time of war, would expose a. fleet desiring
to assist Russia, or Russian vessels want-
ing' to attack the German coast, to an en-
counter with the German fleet in Kiel bay.
A_ Sensation in Spain.
BARCELONA, Aug. 4.-—Great excitement
was caused in this city by what washe-
lieved to be a revolutionary movement,
but what proved to be adesperate attempt.
upon the part of certain speculators on the
home to bring about a. decline in prices.
For fodlhardy daring the scheme has never
been equaled by desperate speculators in
this or any other country.
The troops were in barracks and the
usual guards were patrolling their posts,
when a band of fifteen men, armed with
rifles and revolvers, cautiously approached
the buildings and attempted to surprise
the guards and force their way into the
barracks. The sentries discovered the ap-
proach of the men and ordered them to
halt and give the countersign.
The men made a rush and delivered a
' volley, and some of the guards fell. The
other sentries answered with a fusillado.
A number on both sides were wounded.
The oflicer summoned the troops, to arms,
