PROF. COLDS FOR OCTOBER.
I'ioiii' Storma and SIbii9
Theiu will bo tw"nty-ono high flood
days In America during the month of
October. This breaks alt past records
nnd. will have u tendency to stlmulnto
Americans almost Into a Btato anf man
tel Intoxication, and there may bo "hot
time" In tho soclnl and political cir
cles. No mind can conceive perhaps of
the many detestable depredations nnd
crimes that will bo committed nil over
the world! Yet, amidst all these dis
turbances tho sunshine of prosperity
will almost flood America to excess
with her prosperous rays; and she will
bpcomo the envy of tho whole world!
Her extremely prosperous position will
even excite Hie envy of tho elements
nnd they may conspire to rob her of her
peace and prospoilty ro a great ex
tent. The planets Venus, Neptune nnd
Mars, the Red Warrior, will be on the
low ebb side of the world, while tho
great) planets Saturn, Jupiter and
Bianus, and the meddlesome little Mer
cury, will be on the high flood, or
Aineiicun side. This unusual combi
nation will bring us some very exciting
scenes and experiences. For a full ex
planation of the planets' meaning read
the "Political and Social' 'paragraph.
THE STORMS AND SIGNS.
Our piedlctlon last month of thp
awful stoim conditions that would ex
ist between the Cth and 11th, and would
cause destructive hurricanes and t'idal
waves along the Gull const; and fear
ful stoims on tho Great Lakes: was
fulfilled with a vengeance unparalleled
In American hlstoiy! The grealeot
danger from regular storm periods dur
ing the current month will be between
the nth and 13th, and the 17th and 2th,
and from reactlanary storm, peilods
fiom tho 1st to the 5fh, tho 12th to the
18th, and from the 23th to the 31st. The
Gulf and Altantlc coasts must watch
out' for more destruction ty wind and
wave; and earthquakes will be most
liable to result from tho unusual plan
etary conditions that now exist. As
soon as the planets leave their pies
ent positions nnd swing mound a little
moie into the "Water Signs" great tor-,
rents of rain will fall upon Ameilca
(iul cause unprecedented floods. The
Old Countiy will experience great tiou
bles; and suffer ext'tcmely from the
power of the elements. The Islands
will be In stent danger of tidal waves;
and oui soldier boys at Manila had
better watch out. The ships upon the
high seas will expeilenco some awful
tempests; as the gaseous matter over
(he sun ia now bi diking up in gieat
confusion.
POLITICAL AND SOCIAL.
Tho different political parties are
i tiled by the different planets. Thus:
In the United States, Jupiter is tiller
of the Republican patty, as can be seen
fiom the fact that th.it Is the moneyed
party; its history shows that the lead
ei s of the party and capitalists gener
ally have benefited themselves under
Its rule. "Satin n" mles the Deino
( tatle patty, as can be scon 'Uianus'
titles the Socialists, Fiee Silver, Popu
lists and nunietoiis other small parties
who advocate many new eccentric
Ideas. When we find "Jupltet" pre
dominating in one of ills dignities we
find Republican piinciples aie the
nileis as in 1888 Jupiter in Sagittarius.
Jupltei is again in the same sign this
j fin ; and Uranus is thctc too! In ISO-'
"Satin n' in Libia exalted, oven tiled
all others, consequently we had K.tturn
or Deniociatle piinciples governing us,
"Uianus" (t'he Peoples planet) now bi -lug
in tlie same sign with Jupiter will
gle them great confidence and the
Uianus (Social) element In the political
lielil will be inmu ptomlnent than ever
before. In looking at our planetary
ehait In Stoims and Signs you will see
that the thieo gteat political planctr
aie now all gioupcd together on om
side of the sun, and in the same sign
.luptler now being between the other
two planets Is the dlioct cause of the
piesent labor tioubles!

LAWTON'S LAST LETTER,
"I would to God that 'the truth of
this whole Philippine situation could
be known to every one in America
as I know it. If the real history,
inspiration nnd conditions of this in
surrection, and the influences, local
and external, that now encourage the
enemy, as well as the actual possi
bilities of these islands and peoples
and their relations to this great
East, could be understood at home,
we would hear no more talk of un
just 'shooting of government Into
the .Filipinos, or of hauling down
our flag in the Philippines. If the
so-called anti-imperialists would
honestly ascertain the tiuth on 'the
ground and not in distant America,
they, whom I believe to ho honest
men and misinformed, would be con
vinced of the error of their state
ments and conclusions and of the
unfoitunate effect of their publica
tions here. ' If I ana shot by a Fili
pino bullet, it might as well come
from one. of my own men, because I
know from observations confirmed
by captured prisoners that the con
tinuance of fighting 1b ohlefly due to
reports that are sent out from
America."

"Her watch Slopped
At tho hour when Jn a moment of frenzy she took that fatal leap from tho
Sound Btcamcr. For a long timo sho had been Buffering: much lrom forms
of disease peculiar to women. Sho was on her way to Rhode, Island, going
by her physician's advice to seek rest and change, when for tho moment tho
burden of Buffering seemed too great for longer endurance, and eho fled, from
it along tho only way which seemed open to her distracted mind."
Only n woman can understand now maddening is tho perpetual pain
caused by fumalo weakness. Every day, in every town and hamlet in tho
land, thero aio women who aro saying: "I fecfas if I should gO( crazy."
The nerves are unstrung, thero is no refreshing 'ni sleep, tho appetite fails,
and to odd to nil else tho head throbs, tho backyaches, and thero is th'at cruel
bearing-down pain to endure. Physicians have 'been consulted, medicines
have been tried, all in vain, or at tho best with tho result of a temporary
alleviation of the pain.
Must women suffer thus unaided? No. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip
tion makes weak women strong and sick women well. Thousands of women
testify to tho absolute truth of that statement. Everyone of these women
witnesses has been cured of some form of womanly disease by tho uso of
" Favorito Prescription." Women made miserable by irregularity ; women
to whom each month brought many days of Bolitude and suffering ; women
whoso "vital strength was Doing sapped by weakening drains ; women who
were tormented by inflammation and tortured by ulceration ; womeu suf
fering from femalo weakness, nervous and discouraged ; these aro tho women
who witness to the truth of tho claim that "Favorite Prescription" makes
weak women strong and sick women well. No matter hbw great tho weak
ness; no matter how scvero the sickness; "Favorite Prescription" always
helps and almost always cures. Ninety-eight women in every hundred who
uso it aro cured by it. The other two women in each hundred who arc pa&t
hope of a complete cure find, nevertheless, in the use of this medicine a great
gain in health nnd strength.
Thero is no other medicine so helpful to women as "Favorite Prescrip
tion." In tho first change of life from maidenhood to womanhood it estab
lishes regularity and gives health to tho entire womanly organism. When
maternity comes it gives the mother strength.. for'her trial, nnd makes tho
baby's advent practically painless. As a tonic for nursing mothers it is une
qualled. And when tho last change of life comes its uso prevents or cures
the physical and mental suffering so often associated with this critical timo
in woman's life. A woman's story given below is just the testimony of ono
of the thousands cuicd by "Favorite Prescription."
Tho privilcgo is accorded every sick woman of consnlting Dr. Pierce by
letter free. In a little over thirty years Dr. Pierce, chief consulting physi
cian to tho Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., assisted by
his staff of nearly a score of physicians, lias treated and cured moro than
half a million women. If you are sick and would like a specialist's advice,'
write to Dr. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
A Woman's Story.
"I feel it 'my duty to -write to you and let yon knowliow much your medicine has
done for me," writes Mrs. Wm. Hackett, of Breesport, Chemung Co., N. Y. "Before I
began to use your medicine, it seemed as though I would never be well again. Could
not stand on my feet without fainting. Could not walk to ray neighbors. Would have
a vomiting spell that would last three hours at a time. My limbs would trembleso I
could not even wait on myself. I had a severe time of chronic raflaramatiou of the liver,
then uterine trouble, then heart disease. I had five of the best physicians that could be
found. They said to my friends, ' There is no help for her.' One said I could not live
the winter out ; one told me that if I got temporary relief that was all that could be done.
My mother said to me one day when she was there, ' Do you know you cannot get well?'
I told her I did. She said, ' What are you going to do about the baby? Do you want
me to care for her or someone else. ? ' It seemed as though she bad pierced me with
a sword, to think of leaving my little girl without a mother, it seemed as though I could
not stand it ; and when my friends were telegraphed to that I was dying, and seeing
them weep by my bed, it seemed as though I could never stand to hear them repeat that
they would ' take care of the baby and give her a good home. ' I think if ever anyone
has been through with such a terrible thing they can sympathize with me. The first two
bottles of your Favorite Prescription ' and your Golden Medical Discovery ' it seemed
as though I was getting worse. The next two I was feeling so well that I could do my
work and be real jolly. The next two I felt like a new being. I have packed and moved
twenty miles and settled, and papered three large rooms and a bedroom alone, besides,
doing my owu work. ' I do hope that everyone who is suffering will try Dr. Pierce's
mediciues, Do not be discouraged if the first you take makes you feel a little worse, but
keep right on and you will be surprised at the result. I took your medicine before our
little girl was born, and it was grand. She is four years old, and a beauty (we think)."
