Wheat Heading as far North
as Southern Kansas
Wuhlnfton, May 17—The weekly
crop bulletin published by the weather
bureau says
"The week, especially the latter
w«h much too cool In all districts east,
of the Rocky mountains respecting
temperature, was less favorable than
tho preceding week. The week was
too cool on the North Pacific coast
but there was ample warmth In Cali-
fornia. In Nebraska. Kansas ant! Mis-
souri the advancement of winter wheat
has been favorable.
"Wheat is now heading as far north
as the southern portions of Kansas
and Missouri and harvest has begun
In southern Texas. On the North Pa-
cific coast tho bulk of the crop is In
promising condition, and while a fair
crop is Indicated In California, tha
outlook in moat stales is not as good
as earlier in the season. In Washing-
ton spring wheat has suffered from
cold, but the outlook in Oregon
more favorable.
Cool weather has been unfavorable
for cotton throughout the cotton belt
and drouth In portions of the eastern
districts has proven detrimental. Com
plaints of poor stands continue from
nearlp all sections ol the country and
eastern districts but good stands are
the rule In Louisiana. Oklahoma and
Texas.
The fruit outlook Is generally prom-
ising. except for peaches In the more
northerly sections. In the southern
states, however, a good crop of peaches
is promised.

KLLO, Central I . Give rae
No. 663 Mai". pie—e. Yes.
Hello! Is this Mi so Poin-
dezter? Yes. This is the
little god of love speaking *o you.
You knew my voice «u a moment, I
iidn't you? You think me a little
darling for what I did for vou> Yea.
Well, you know L-O-V-R don't spell
marriage. There is many a slip twixt
the cup and the lip.' You think I
called you up just to quarrel ? No.
What f want you to do is to make your-
elf 'fit.' Let 'your uncle* give you
some advice. When a woman is nerv-
ous, irritable, slmost hysterical, st times
melting into tesrs or Isughiug at small
provocstion, she should brace up, get
out of doors, breathe in good strength
bearing oxygen, and in other wsys nut
her body into physical condition so that
she may be proud of her womanhood
and strong to bear the burdens of life.
What's that? You think rae extremely
amusing ! Well, now, let me tell you
that Cupid is almost out of business at
times, because the young girls are so frail
and ill so much of the time thst they
don't 'make good.' You don't kuow
what I mean, dear ? Well, I tell you j
what, if I was a young man and I found I
a voung woman I was courting was all
the time sick, ill, pale, suffering from
weaknesses, peculiar to the sex, I
wouldn't stand it very long." Take the
advice of little Doctor Cupid aud build
up your strength with Dr. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription—a remedy prescribed
only for just such eases as yours, by a
physician who is known the world over.
CUPID'S PLACR.
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 csn think of. In such cases the
body is not sound. The nervousness and
other symptoms are telegraphed all oyer
the body by the nerves, which are the
telegraphic system of the human body,
because the weak spot demands atten-
tion. The weak back* dizzy spells and
black circles about the eyes are only
symptoms. Go to the source of the
trouble and correct the irregularity.
The draius on the womanly system and
the other symptoms disappear. This
can be done easily and intelligently.
The correctness of this advice is amply
proven by the experience of many thou-
sands of women—a large number of
whom have writtea of their experiences.
So sure of it is the World's Dispensary
Medical Association, the proprietors of
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, that
they offer $500 reward for women who
cannot be cured of I^ucorrhea, Female
Weakness, Prolapsus or Falling of the
Womb. All they ask is a fair and rea-
sonable trial of their means of cure.
Their financial responsibility is well
known to every newspaper publisher
anl druggist in the United States. This
wonderful remedy therefore stands abso-
lutely alone as the only one possessed of
such'remarkable curative properties as
would warrant its makers in publishing
such a marvelous offer as is above made
in the utmost good faith. It is a medi-
cine which has stood
THE THST OP A THIRD OP A CENTURY,-
and numbers its cures by the thousands.
It is a perfectly safe tonic in any con-
dition of the system, being entirely
vegetable and withont alcohol.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription gives
new life and new strength
to weak, worn-out, run - clown
women. It establishes rega-
larity, driea unlwahhy drains,
heals inflammation and mlcera-
tion and cures female weakness.
It makes weak wmnen strong
and tick women well.
Miss Bona Weller who is
Secretary of the Young People's
Christian Association, at 1818
Madison Avenue, New York
City, says : " Your • Favorite
Prescription * is a boon to sick
and tired women. to it cures
them when other medicines
fail. I know whereof I speak,
for I have had experience with
it. For fourteen months I bad
constant headaches; sremed too
weak to perform my dally duties,
and when the day was over I
was too tired to sleep well.
I suffered from nervousness and
had nervous indigestion, and
everything I ate distressed me.
Doctored with different physi-
cians but received no relief.
After reading otie of yonr books
I decided to give your ' Favorite
Prescription * a trial. Am very
glad I did, for I found it was
just whst I wanted. I com-
menced to improve at once and
kept getting better until, after
seven wefts, I was entirely
curcd. I have remained in per-
fect health ever since, and re-
main a firm friend of your ' Fa-
vorite Prescription.' "
The dealer who offers a sub-
stitute for " Favorite Prescrip-
tion " is only seeking to make
the little more prolit afforded
by a less meritorious medicine.
by l
His profit is your loss. There-
fore, turn your back on him as
unworthy of your patrouage.
HOW TO ASSIST YOUR GIRW.
The change from maiden-
hood to womanhood is one that
involves the whole body — it
manifests itself in the voice and
the nervous condition," says
Dr. Pierce. "It should be nat-
ural aud like gradually falling I
asleep. Owing to present modes '
of living, however, the nervous
energy of young girls is forced
— the necessary nutrition for
tissues, blood and nerves
wanting, and consequently the
young girl fades like a flower in ,
some bad atmosphere. Tight
lacing is another canse for this
condition. The strain at this
time upon the blood-forming ,
structures may be too great.
Disorders of the functions oecu-
liarly feminine are nearlv always
dependent upon the defective
nutrition. Hygienic measures
are most important. Fresh air
and suushine are more than
ever uecessary — then I have
found in all such cases that
my ' Favorite Prescription * is
just the vegetable tonic for
the female system at this
time."

Ctilumhua. Ohio, May 17—Tho feature
of the republican utato convention here
came after the business of the tem-

Benator Foraker and Lieutenant-Gover-

of one faction and Senator Dick and Gov-

ance of power.
After the routine business was disposed

the senior senator made a rouslnc speech.
The Dick men afterward got up a counter
demonstration, nnd the junior senator also
mttchi h stlrlng speech. As Governor
Her rick had made the keynote speet h as
temporary chairman, the Harding men In-
sisted on setting their favorite to the
platform, but the rivalry wuh shut off by
the adjournment and Hardin's refusal
to rsapond.
The "old Hanna guard" carried the dis-
trict meetings so completely this after-
noon that there was no Interest to com-
mittees on credentials and rules and or-
der of business. The temporary organiza-
tion was m;id« permanent, so that Gov-

that It would be impossible to enforce

have directed to vote In favor of endors-
ing the present national administration
and to Instruct the delegates to vote for
Theodore Roosevelt for president. The
only ocntest of the convention will prob-
ably be over the election of dclegateg-at-
large for which there Is spirited rivalry.
Des Moines, Iowa. May 17.—With the
"stand pat" element of the" republican
party firmly in the saddle, the only prob-
lem which arises before the republican
state convention which will meet In this
city tomorrow, is the nature of the plat-
form which will be adopted. This has
been the subject of anxious discussion
among the party leaders assembled in the
city today, it Is certain that the plat-
form will contain a plank strongly en-
dorsing the protective principle The at-
titude on reciprocity Is still a debatable
ciuestlon It now seems probable that the
convention will adopt a declaration re-
ferring all matters of tariff revision to
the national convention In Chicago.
Particular Interest Is taken in the at
tltudo of the party at this time on ac-
count of the fact that Iowa is the home
of Governor Cummins, thn chief advo-
cate of the Iowa Idea and because the
"stand-patters" are now In complete con-
trol of the state for the llrst time In
several years. It la generally conceded
that Senators Allison and Dolllver. Gov-
ernor Cummins and J. W. Blythe will be
named as delegates-at-large to the na-
tional convention.
