What She Has to Contend With Work That Sooner or Later Ureaks Down lies Delicate Organism. The great majority of women "work to live" and "live to work," and as tho hands of the clock approach the nour oi six, tnose cm-ployed in stores, offices, mills and factories, hail closing time with joy. They have won their day's bread, but some duties are yet to be performed, and many personal matters to be attended to.

They have mending to do, and dresses or bonnets to make, and long into the night they toil, for thev must look neat, and they have no time during the day to attend to personal matters. Women, therefore, notwithstanding" their delicate organism, work longer and more closely than men. Thev do not promptly heed such signs as headache, backache, blues, pains in the groins, bearing-down, "all feelinc. nervousness, loss of Rloen and aorietite. whites, irrecular or painful montldy periods, cold and swollen feet, all symptoms oi womb trouble, which, if not quickly checked, will launch them in a sea of misery.

There is but one absolute remedy for all those ills. Any woman who has to earn her own living will find it profitable to keep her system fortified with this tried and true woman's friend. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound speedily removes the cause and effects a lasting cure. We are glad to produce such letters as the following from Miss M.

O. Mc-Namee, 114 Catherine Utica, N.Y.: For months I had been afflicted with that tired feelinc-. no ambition. no appetite; and a heavy bearing-down feeling of the uterus. I began to use Lydia E.

Pinkham's vegetable t-om- Tiound. Soon those bad feelings passed away I began to have more ambition, mv appetite improved and 1 gained rapidly in every way, and now I am entirely well. I advise all my friends to use the Compound, it is woman truest friend." LEVEL IMPROVEMENTS. Hie Work to he Resumed In Karnest This -it Week. The levee improvement work, which has been hampered to some extent by high water, will be rsumed again in earnest thi3 week.

A small force ba been at work during the past week but more men and teams will be set at work at once under the of Street Commissioner Lepper. A feature of the work will be the extension of the culverts after which the grading will be assumed. The high water has previously interfered with the culvert work which can bo carried out now with ease. An eltort will be made to re move the M. St.

P. switch near er the freight houe so that the portion ot the levee upon which it rests can be graded properly. That point between Perry and Rock Island streets affords a fine opportunity for landing and an effort will be made to secure the co-operation of the railway officials in making the much desired improvement.

Mu.catine is greatly aroused over a wanton murder which occurred there Saturday morning, the victim being Officer Jacob Niebert, who was shot and killed by tramps while in the dis charge cf his duty. The officer was on duty as a night patrolman and encountered the tramps near the Burlington tracks in the Fourth ward. Owing to the hour at which the tragedy occurred the circumstances surrounding it are enveloped in a great deal af mystery. lhat the deed was the work of tramps, however, beyond question, as the officer gasped out such information be fore expiring. The tragedy occurred near the resi dence of .11.

J. Smith, and the latter was tne hrst tc arriva on the scene after the assassins had fled. 'V His wife was aroused by several pistol shots, and going to the window saw the outlines of a man's form lying near a car on the track opposite the hous. Jhe wounded officer was able to faintly call for help and Mrs. Smith then awakened her husband, who hastened to the assistance of Ne'bert.

The offi cer wa3 partially sitting and leaning on a plank and in response to a ques tion from Mr. Smith said that he bad been shot in the abdomen. The dying officer said that the deed had been com mitted by some tramps but he was un able to give any further information, as his words then became unintelligi ble. His death occurred several moments later. All evidence points to a terrible struggle between the officer and the murderers.

The general belief is that six shots were tired, as five bullet holes were found in the car. The sixth shot was the one which inflicted the fatal wound. Blood spot were dis covered on the floor of he car and on the rocks outside. It is also thought lhat the murderer was woundtd, as blood was also traced down the rail road track in the direction evideatlv taken by the assassin in his flight. The officer's revolver wai found lying close, to the body with two chambers empty while his club, which was also lying by his side showed evidence of having been used by the victim in his own defense.

The entire police force was called to the scene shortly after the tragic oc currence, and a search for the murder ers was at once commenced. A tramp who was found aslnep in a car was taken into custody, but no other sus picious characters were rounded up in the A conductor on a freight train which passed east after the hour1-: der said that a hatless tramp with a bandaged head had been put eff the train, me ieiiow, in repiy to a ques-; tion as to his injuries, said that ba had mt 11 1 been struck by a club. He is believed to be the tramp who shot the officer and effort was made to effect his cap ture. A message was wired to Trenton, Mo for a pair of bloodhounds to trail the murderer ard tney arrived in Muscatine Saturday night. The murdered policeman was fifty five years of age and was born in Germany.

He had been a member of the Muscatine police force at various times, his last appointment having been made three years ago. He leaves a wife and several adopted children, besides his father and two brothers. He was a member of several fraternal societies and also of Shelby Norman Post, G. A. R.

Ihe funeral occurred this afternoon. Mr. A. G. Tyler, of Muscatine, was a Davenport visitor today and when seen by a Time3 reporter he said that up to the time he left Muscatine this morning the authorities had discovered no clue to the murderer.

The hounds arrived from Trenton, Saturday and were put on trail but could only trace the man to the point hei he is known to have boarded a freight. KemoTal Sale.

Men of Learning Tell Us How to Fat Bacteria to Work. It is known that the flavor of butter and of different kinds of cheese is due to various bacterial ferments and there is good reason to suppose that a better product and greater uniformity would be attained by the use of pure cultures of the species upon which special flavors depend. I understand that in this country quite a number of dairies are now using pure cultures of a certain bacillus (Bacillus 41 of Conn) for giving flavor to their product. It is probable that Bimilar methods will soon be introduced in the cheese-making industry. Agricultural chemists predict that in the near future cultures of the nitrifying bacteria of the soil will be made on large scale for thewseof farmers, who will add them to manures for the purpose of fixing the ammonia, or perhaps will distribute them directly upon the soil.

Should this prove to be a successful and economic procedure, the extent of the interests involved will make it a "practical result" of the first impor- anct. Another application of our re- centl3r-acquired knowledge which has already proved useful to farmers in cer tain parts of Europe relates to the de struetion of field mice by distributing in the grain fields bread moistened with a culture of a bacillus which causes a fatal infectious disease among these little animals.

They Open the Allison Headquarter at tK S'oulliern and Will Loyally Support the Iowa Candidate lotll the End (ionnlp From tlio Coo vent Ion City, All eyes are turned toward St. Louis where the Republican national convention, which will nominate the next president of the United States, will open tomorrow. A goodly delegation of Divenporter3 ha3 already left for the convention city and a number of others will leave for the metropolis of Missouri this evening. The mecea of the Iiwa visitors will be the Southern hotel, for the Alison head quarters will be located that hostelry. They were formally onened Saturday when the delegates from the Hawkeye state who had arrived in St.

Louis met and fUdcted an organizition. All the Iowa delegates were present with the exception of Clarkson, Hevington, Struble of Tama, Knott and Davis. The delegation for mally organized by electing Col. Hen derson as temporary chairman, G. C.

Call temporary secretary and II. L. Hedrick of Ottumwa as permanent sergeant-at arms. The Hawkeye delegation has hung its banner" on the outer wall and has sent the word along tie line that it wilt support Sen ator Allison for thepresidential nom ination from hrst to last. The members make no prediction as to the nomination, but come what, will they propose to follow their instructions and loyally support the candidacy of lovvas favorite son until the battle is over.

Hon. Seth L. Baker, of Bellevue, who has decided that McKinley is his second choice, was conspicuous at the Aihson headquarters Saturday, and when asked bv a reporter for his opin ion as to Allison's chances, he said: "There has ben no change for the past ftjw days in the situation so far as air. Allison is concerned. His name will certainly go.

before the convention and he will be balloted for. Congressman Hepburn, who is re garded as tho lighter in the Allison camp, is also on the ground. "Sena tor Allison, he said, "is in the race to stay. He is the most available candidate before the convention and we have an abiding faith that when the delegates will arrive and look over the situation they will ot turn their backs on the strongest man who can go before the people in November." Hon. J.

M. Baldwin, of Council Bluff-', who will place Allison in nomination, has completed his speech and is resting on his oars prepared to make the oratorical effort of his life. Ho has authorized -r publication an interview declaring that the Allison people are in no way discouraged, but thut they have confidence in the delib erate judgment cf the convention. Iowa will have an interesting tussle over the selection of a national com mitteeman. There are three candi dates in the field.

They are Charles M. unk in of the First district, Calvin Manning of the Sixth, and A. B. Cum mins of the Seventh. J.

S. Clarkson, who has been so conspicuous in all'the recent meetings of the national com mittee save the one which is now being held in St. Louis, has declared that he will under no circumstances enter the fight. Clarkson will not ap-1 rear in St. Loui3 during theconven-i tion because of sicknefs, and the Iowa delegation will have to get along with out, his valuable assistance in promoting the candidacy of Senator Allison.

While the name of Senator Allison wi go before the convention and while the people of Iowa would rejoice to see him secure the coveted prize, all the indications point to the nomination of ex Gov. McKinley, of Ohio, and it is highly probable that he will be named on the first ballot. For sometime past the tide has been running strongly in his favor and the indications are that it will carry everything before it in the convention. Next to that of Senator Allison, his nomination will be received with the greatest favor ic the Hawkeye state, as in him are typified those principles which are the bed-rock of Republicanism. Nevertheless whatever the situa tion and whatever the apparent outcome, the Iowa delegation does well to proclaim that it will champion the cmdi3acy of Senator Allison until the finish of the tight.

TABOR Kev. II. C. Ilnghes Succeeds to tie Presldf ncy, The thirteenth annual commencement of Tabor College, Tabor, Iowa, occurred June G-10. President Brooks retiied from the presidency after thirty-nine years of continuous service as principal of the academy and president of the college.

Rev. Richard C. Hughes, having served for five year3 a3 vice-president and professor of mental and moral science was elected to fill the vacancy. President Hughes was graduated from Wooster university in 1884, re ceiving A. M.

The Ro -k Island has made a radical change in the manner of loading freight cirs over the practice formerly in use. The object to be sought now is to get the greatest amount of tonnage possible in the car, and none go out with less than G.000 pounds aboard. This saves from four to six cars on a train and makes the road work correspondingly lighter. The new scheme is said to be working admir ably and the local freight men are getting used fo the change so that the cars are about as easily handled as form erly. Des Moines capital.
