Soiuetins: to Know.It may be worth something to know

that the very best medicine for restoring the tired out nervous system to ahealthy vigor is Electric Bitters. Thismedicine is purely vegetable, acta by

giving tone to the nerve centres in thestomach, gently stimulates the Livernnd Kidneys, and nids these organs in

throwing off impurities in the blood.

Electric Bitters improves the appetite,aids digestion, and is pronounced by

those who have tried it as the very bestblood purifier and nerve tonic. Try it.Sold for 50j or 81.00 per bottle at ClarkO. Proud's drug store.

No man or woman can enjoy life oraccomplish much in this world whilesuffering from a torpid liver. DeWitt'sLittle Early Risers, the pills thatcleanse that organ, quickly. Sold by

all druggist.

This Prosperity.There are in this country, counting re-

serves and the new crop, nt least 0

bushels of wheat, which has ap-

preciated in market value about 35 centsn bushel in the last two months.

There are, counting reserves and thenew crop, nt least 3,000,000,000 bushelsof corn, which has advanced (i cents a.

bushel in price in the same time.There nre 17.000,000,000 pounds of hog

neat, raw nnd manufactured, which hasadvanced an average of 3 cents a pound.

There are 325,000,000 pecks of gardentruck, the average advance in which hasbeen 2- - cents per peck.

It is a well known economic law thatthe market value ot productive propertydepends upon its earning power. Theearning power of farm land has increased33 per cent since July 1. Hence, thereare 2,050,000 farms in this country whichhave appreciated in value an average ot$500 per farm, at a moderate estimate.

And there are $00,000,000,000 worth of

railroad securities which, by reason otthe agricultural prosperity, hare in-

creased 12 per cent in value.Better limes on the farms means a

larger output and higher profits for thefactory. There nre $50,000,000,000

in factories and the nvernge in-

crease of value is 10 per cent.Better times for the factory means

greater activity and more profits for theurban merchant. There are $100,000,- -

000,000 invested in retail mercantile establishments, which are now worth 20

per cent mora than they were eightweeks ago.

Naturally the increased prosperitymeans an advance in the value ot cityreal estate say 15 per cent on 2150,000,-000,00- 0.

Add, say, 15 per cent on $100,000,000,- -000 representing nil the saloons, theaters, sanitariums, patent medicines andother' industries which will participatein the boom and we have a neat total of

70,000,000,000, or $1,000 for every man,woman and child in the United Stntes.

Thus every man having a wife and live

children is $7,000 better off than he wasJuly 1. Or, if one ot the children wereborn only August 1, thereby participat-ing in but halt ot the advance, he isworth $0,500 more than he' was twomonths ago.

This is no idle dream; but a cold, solidmathematical fact. From the ChicagoNews.

Consistency end Calamity.Not many moons ago, our calamity

bowlers came out in strong editoraladenouncing the action of the board of

trustees of the Brown university in de-

manding the resignation of PresidentAndrews. They said, it was a deliberateattempt to bridle free speech and thatit was an outrsge upon civilization. Thefact that Andrews was a free silverhowler and hod gonenbout the countryproclaiming the false doctrine of freeand unlimited coinage of the whitemetal at a ratio of 10 to 1 was Bufficfent

to warrant the bitter uttnek upon themanagement ot the Brown university.These calamity papers said there couldbe no liberty in a land where college

professors were not nlloived to worshipthe free 6ilver god according to thedictates of their own conscience. Thatevery man should be nllowed to notonly believe, but teach what he pleasedwhether he be at the head ot a greatinstitution ot learning or commanding

the forces of section gang. It was aninalienable right every man hadwhether he be for sound money or for adepreciated currency.

But with this expounder of the freesivlor doctrine it 6eems to be a case of

"whose ox is gored." In Bn issue of lastweek, one of these champions of freespeech, free eilver, and free trndo con

tained this paragraph:"The faculty of the Missouri state

university are paid to teach the stu-

dentsnot to air their individual poli

tical views. It there be those who haveoverlooked this matter they should begiven an indelinitevacation."

It seems that a certnin college professor in the state university is not ameek and lowly follower of Mr. Bryan,but is a sort of doubting Thomas. Inother words he is n sound money Democrat. This makes the coat entirely another color, according to this howlerand this man should be given an "in-

definite vacation," He is hired to "tenchthe students" nnd not "air his individual political yiews," so soys this greatfree taought nnd free speech journalProssibly President Andrewsof Brown university wns also hired to"teach the students" nnd not to "airhis individual political views."

Bryan's Baiiroad Pass.Mr. Bryan's denunciations during lnt t

year's campaign, nnd since, of the rail- -

roads, nnd their "bribery" ot people bydeadhead passes are shown to be insin-

cere. In fact, Mr. Bryan was simplyposing to deceive the people. How muchtraveling he has done on free passes cannot be told, but he has been caught"dead to rights" in a recent instance.

He rode over the Southern Pacificfrom Sacramento to Portland re-

cently, oil n pass asserted to have beenissued because ot Bryan's alleged con-

nection with an Omnha newspaper. Thenewspaper declares that Mr. Bryan hashad no connection with it for tho pastyear.

Mr. Bryan has preserved a profoundsilence toward the public over this oc-

currence. Probably he shares the opinion once attributed to a dead-and-gon- e

Vanderbilt: "The public be d d."However it does not matter much. Mr.Bryan, ns a political quantity, is as deadas a last year's bird's nest, and the eventwill only hasten the time when he mustdrop into the nntlve obsecurity forwhich his Chicago convention speechraised him temporarily.

A Hundred Years Ago.,A horseman who galloped on a city

street was fined four shillings.A man who jeered at the preacher or

criticised the sermon was fined.Two stage coaches bore all the travel

between New York and Boston.Six days were required for a journey

between New York nnd Boston.Stoves were unknown. All cooking

wns done before an open fireplace.The parquet ot an opera house was

called the pit, and was tilled with therabble.

Three fourths ot the books ot everylibrary came from beyond the Atlantic.

Many ot the streets were pot namedand the houses were not numbered.

The whipping post and pillory werestill standing in New York and Boston.

The Mississippi Valley was not ns wellknown as the heart ot Africa is now.

Quinine was unknown. When a manhad ague fits he took Peruvian bark andwhiskey.

When a Virginian started on a journey to New York ho made his will andbade farewell to his friendi, as thoughhe never expected to 6ee them again.From the New York Worid.

Encouraging Statistics.Carroll D. Wright has coatributed an

article to the Atlantic. Monthly for Sep-

tember, showing that the condition otthose engaged in gainful occupations isimproving every year. He quotes statis-

tics to show that thero is no such thingpossible in America as a permanentlyrich class.

In 1870 there were 12,735,061 persons32.43 per cent of the country's popula-tion engaged in gainful occupations,and in 1890 this number had increasedto 22.735.CC1, or 3C.61 per oent of thepopulation. In 1870 the average wagesper capita to persons employed in rnanu-- 'tncturing and mechanical pursuits was$302. In. 1890 it had increased te $445.

Mr. Wright claims the figures preclude the idea that the people are being.impoverished, or thai all the wesun isgoing to a favored few.

"creating remark or comment. It was a dif-ferent matter, however, when alone in theforties the first woman of foreign birth

and received papers of citizenship.This " first woman citizen" was an Irish

widow who settled in southern Indiana withher progeny of sturdy lads and clever lassesnpon a farm which the had bought.

"The Widow Kyau" as she was knownIn Daviess County, Indiana, was a srentwoman with a clever business head and leftbehind Iicr those who grew to be worthymen and worthy women, and who have lefttheir impress upon the f'tate.

One nf these sons James B. Ryan becametreasurer of the State of Indiana, and a

31. L. Brett, also held that high andhonorable position. Another son was thelate Lieut. Col. Richard J. Kyan who was,probably the most brilliant and Rifted oratorthat Indiana ever produced, ami who duringthe war for the Union served his country inthe Thirty-fift-h Indiana Volunteer Infantry,better known as "the Irish Regiment."

Another son is Thomas I Kyan who isnow 53 years old, and with a few intervals ofabsence has Iteen a resident of Indianapolisfor forty-tw- o years.

In the early fifties smitten bv the goldfever he went by way of the Isthmus ofPanama to California. He lias Iteen all overthe far west engaged in mining and tradeoperations in Oregon.

Indianapolis, IntL

at the Indianapolis Board of Trade, "I havebeen extremely sensitive in my lower limbs,to weather changes. If my legs had lieenfilled with quick silver I do not think theycould have responded more quickly or moredisagreeably to climatic conditions." During the past two years this infirmitybecame much worse, and I began to liealarmed, fearing paralysis. My legs werecold and recently from my knees down werewithout sensation. I could walk only shortdistances and would even then experiencegreat weariness. I became more and morealarmed. I naturally thought of paralysisor locomotor ataxia. The prospect was nota pleasing one.

' I happened to meet my old friend Capt.C F. Sheiiard, of this city. He was chant-ing the praises of Dr. Williams' Pink Pillsfor Pale People and gave me his experience,telling me that he had been brought byusing them from a bed where he lay help-less, his physician having declared him ahopeless victim of locomotor ataxia, and wasnow as active as any man of his aire, noteven requiring the use of a cane. Upon hisrecommendation I began the use of Dr.AVilliams' Pink Pills.

" I found positive relief, after taking a fewdoses. The numbness in my limbs disap-peared as if by magic and I can walk as faras 1 like at a good rapid gait and withoutweariness.

"The pills also drove the rhenmatism ontof my hip for I have not been bothered withit since I began their use."

Dr. AVilliams Pink Pills for Tale Peoplecontain all the elements necessary to give newlife and richness to the blood and restore shat-tered nerves. They are for sale by all druocists, or may be hid by mail from Dr. Wil-liams' Medicine Company, Schenectady, N.Y. , for 50c. per box, or six boxes for f2J0.

The farmers ot the country shouldgive their attention closely to a few con-

trasts. The free traders made a greatrow over the sugar bounty and the tin-pla- te

duty. Their contention was thesheer impossibility that we should pro-

duce our own sugar and tin. Alreadyever farmer in America knows that we

shall soon produce all the sugar we con-

sume and save a hundred millions a yearfor the tillers ot our soil, and that we nrealso deep in the tin-plat- e manufacturingbusiness, nnd that long before this presi-

dential term is out we shall produce incur shops all the tin-pla- te we want, andthere are from twenty to twenty five

millions a year for American working-me- n

to earn and distribute. Now.thesoare tne things that give a boom to pros-

perity. Contrast this with the vulgarfalsification that low silver made wheatlow, nnd nil that rottennoss of theDemocratic imagination.

The National Association of Hny-raak-e-

has just held its annual conventionnt Pittsburg. The fact was developedthere that the hay crop ot the UnitedStates is worth more than any othercrop except corn. It often amounts tomore thnn 45,000,000 tons. In manyyears the crop has been worth 1400,000,-00- 0

or upward. It is grown in a greatnumber of states and all classes of farm-

ers are interested in the yield ot the bayfields. The news that the hay crop ot1897 is likely to prove the largest grownin the entire history ot the UnitedStates is, therefore, an item ot immenseimportance. It means another long steptoward general prosperity and a deadlyblow dealt the luckless calamity howl-

ers ot the Bryanites. Like the big yieldof wheat and the discovery ot new andrich gold fields, it is good fortune forthe American people of the world, butruin for politicians whose hopes arefounded on hard times and discontent.

A Splendid American Plant.It is gratifying to know that there is

an increasing foreign demand for corn.Our American maize is truly a wonderin the vegetable world, a phenomenalgift ot nature. It is doubtful if thiscountry could hnve been colouized fromEurooe without its aid or the wildernesssubdued without its ready and whole

some abundance. Maize- - is one ot thefew plants botanists hnve never discov-

ered in a wild state or in the originaltype. It enters history in the full armorof a cultivated crop, and ore used to hit

national nnd tribal granaries. Butthough it is appreciated everywhere inAmerica, the rest of the world has beenslow to give it a place among the bestand most nutritious cereale. In thiscountry it has developed a fine race ofmen and women, comfortable farms andthriving communities, yet when foreignnations are short of food they neglectmaize for more costly products of thesoil, and this through a lack of knowl-

edge or a caprice of taste.In the fiscal year 18 , when the crop

ot wheat was short, our exports ot cornexceeded those ot wheat. The enme

thine baDDened again, by n light margin.in 1890. Ordinarily corn has been alighted in the foreign demand, nnd it is stillto an unreasonable extent unappreciatedabroad. The exports in 1S9C of wheatand Hour were 12G,413,9C3 bushels, andof corn and corn meal 101,100,375 bush-

els. In the fiscal year ending in 1S97

corn took the lead, renchmg a total export ot 178,817,417 bushels, while that ofwheal was 145,082,G16 bushels. It hasbeen noticed in recent years that whenthe price of corn is less than half that ofwheat the exports of corn increase.Present conditions nre favorable to aheavy foreign demand for com, und thebest thing about a larger demand is thatit leads to a better acquaintance withmaize as an unsurpassed article ot food.It needs only to be known to be valuedas such throughout the world.

Our corn crop sometimes amounts to2,000,000,000 bushels, and this could beindefinitely increased if the markets offered a suitable reward to the farmer.In any case the tiller of the soil inAmerica is familiar with its great advantages. If he can not sell it nt a fairprice he can feed it and thus enrich thesoil, a form ot wealth not identified withraising wheat. In an extremity, alwaysto be regretted, it serves as fuel, whichagain is not true of wheat. A growthin the foreign demand for corn, withfairer proportionate prices, is so muchadded to tho resources ot our farmersand a basis ot steady prosperity forAmerican agriculture. Everything thattends to proclaim the merits ot maizo asfood strengthens the world against famine. There was a time when the starv

ing Irish rejected corn meal becausemethods of preparing it were unknownto them, and they had always regardedit as grain for cnttle. Many places stillexist where enlightenment is neededconcerning the product of a magnificentplant.

Webster Dayis! Decision.

The decision of Webster Davis, assis-ta- ut

secretary of the Interior, concerning the pensioning of old soldiers hnsbeen met with delight nil over thecountry and it should be taken as anindication of what the old soldiers mayexpect from this administration. Mr.

Davis has held that an applicant is entitled to a pension if he was woundedwhile in the army no matter whetherhe was discharging his assigned dutyor not. That is to say the man whowas pumping water for his comrades'mules and who, while so engaged, re-

ceived injuries is not disqualified frompension privileges because be shouldhave been doing something else, or because he was not ordered to pumpwater for his comrades' mules. This isnothing but good, common sense andthe only reason for surprise is that anypredecessor ot Mr. 'Davis' should haveheld otherwise.

The pension laws should be intcrproted liberally and the government shouldnot be mean enough to take advantageof n technicality. The boya who wore

the blue took no advantage ot UncleSam when he called upon them to cometo his resucue. They did not ask evenwhat they were to get and required nopledge ot pension from the governmentThey went and offered up their lives onthe country'd altar becnuse ot theirpatriotism and not for the Almightydollnr. Now, when the country is ableto partially recompense them it oughtto do it without so much quibbling nndbickering.

The rulings ot the pension officers

under the lastndminiatration have beenn burning disgrace to our country. Oldsoldiers were treated more like a e6t ofrogues than like honorable men. HokeSmith went upon the presumption thatevery applicant for a pension was n cof-

fee cooler, a wilful perjurer nnd n villian.Pension agents were sent out not toassist the veterans in securing theirjutat dues, but to prevent and hinderthem from receiving whnt rightfully be-

longed te them. The country, andespecially the old soldiers, are to be con-

gratulated upon the fact that they haveagain fallen into the hands ot theirfriends and that we have such honest,upright men as Webster Davis to interpret the law and Bee to it that they getfair treatment.

Under Fire.Two professors in the state univer-

sity are under investigation. One, Dr.Frederick a Hicks, is at the bend ot

the department of political economy,

and is charged with leaching his stu-

dents gold standard, protective tnrilT,

Hamiltonianism nnd other economical

doctrines inimical to the free Bilver

Democratic majority of Missouri.

The other professor is Dr. Win. G.

Brown, professor of chemiBtry. He is

guage regarding Democrats.The minority board ot curators baa

Some Undeniable Facts.The St. Louis Chronicle which is sup

posed to be an independent newspaperwith celamity attachments, thinks it ispossible for the Republicans to causethe price ot wheat to raise in order tomake a show of prosperity, but it cannotunderstand how it is that bank clear-ings have 6o greatly increased. In speaking upon the subject it says:

"It may be possible for a big and richaggregation of bull operators to elevatethe price of wheat to its present mar,independently ot natural supply and de-

mand, nnd thus to produce a false ap-pearance of prosperity. Persons opposedto the present federal administrationmaintain that this is being done.

One symptom, however, confronts thedoubter, which is capable ot no suchexplanation, nnd which indicates soplainly that he who scorches along onroller Bkates may read, that the bird otprosperity is roosting again on the sameold periih.

The symptom is the clearing bousecondition as shown in the statementwhich The Chronicle printed Monday,which proves that during that part ot1897, which has already passed, thebusiness transacted was greater by morethan $50,000,000 than at any time beforein the history of St, Louis."

There are alse otherevidences ot prosperity which the calamity howlers areunable to explain away. They will findconsiderable difficulty in telling bow itis that laboring men everywhere havefound employment and yet no prosper-ity has come. It will require considerable explanation to make the people un-derstand why the price ot cattle, mulesand horses has increased and yet noprosperity has come. It will require considerable argument to make the peoplebelieve that prosperity is not here whileat the same time business men are placing larger orders and more ot themthan ever before. The Democrats willrun up againet a snag when they undertake to explain away the cause of butter.eggs, corn, potatoes, fruit and almosteverything else which the farmer has tosell bringing higher prices. The fact isthey have not a reasonable excuse forthe increased price of any one farm pro-

duce except to admit that the laboringmen have employment and consequentlyhave money with which to buy the necessaries of life, thereby creating a demand for farm products and the Bryan-ites may as well admit it now and taketheir medicine like little men.

Convicts on tne Boads.North Carolina is making a success ot

the experiment ot working convicts onthe public roads. Thus far it baa notbeen attended by complaints from anyquarter. Tho convicts are said to bemore eaaily managed than they werewhile locked in clese, narrow cells andhuddled in a mass that generateddisease and sickness.

Free labor has found no objection tothis utilization ot convict labor inNorth Carolina, for freo labor there asin every other part ot the .country, hasan aversion to working on the publicroads, despite statutory requirementsand the attached penalties.

Missouri and other Western Slateswhich are always wrestling with theproblems of convict labor and the im-

provement ct their system ot publicroads should learn a lesson from theNorth Carolina experiment. Less thanone-hal- f of the convicts in the MissouriPenitentiary are afforded employment,chiefly because of the1 objection of freelabor, and this proportion probablyholds true in the penal institutions ofother States of the West. This enforc-ed idleness is not only a burden uponthe taxpayers, but it aUo aggravates.-th- e

problem of prison management. Itthe convicts were put to work on thahighways we would soon have an im-

proved system of public roads, and theagricultural interests of the state wouldhe especially benefited.

Stain Removing Remedies.Various remedies, oftentimes trouble-

some to apply, are now recommendedfor removing fruit and grass stains. Itis agreeable to be assured that as agenerable rule it is safe to plan to trythe effect ot pure water upon a stain be-

fore using chemicals. Moat fruit stains,for example, can be easily remoyed byboiling the stained portion oyer a vesseland pouring boiling water directlythrough it. This ia a much bettermethod than soaking the article, as itprevents the stain from Bpreaking. An-

other way is to rub the atain with al-

cohol before putting it into water, andstill another is to apply a little salts oflemon, letting it stand for a few hours,when it should be washed off in clearwater. This, by the way, is an excellentrecipe for the removal of ink spots,though in all cases the stain will yieldmore readily to treatment if it be takenin hand as soon as it is made. Grasastains may be removed by rubbing withalcohol, and iron rust by immersion in ahot solution of oxalic acid, followed byrinsing in ammonia water.

Price of Corn.

There are irons reasons for anticipating a moderately good price for corn thecoming fall nnd winter. There is asteadily increasing demand abroad forour corn, becauso ot the growing know-

ledge ot its merits aa food in Europeancountries.

But this demand is this year accentuated by the sharp advance ot wheatto a higher level. This state ot thingsftlwnva makes nn increase in the use ofnthnr cereals ns n Bubutitute, and consequently nn incronsed export demand forcorn mny reasonably be expected.

U'hilrt the advance due to these conditions can not be expected to parallelthat in tko price of wheat, it is toe belief in New York that the price ot cornat the grain centers will reach 40 cents,in spite ot the large total crop.

A Minnesota farmer insists that cornmakes n better and cheaper ful thancoal. He raised enough corn on tenacres to heat his house and feed twohorses and a cow through the winter.Nevertheless, he is on the wrong track.Coal has but one use while corn hasmany. Cornjs bringing an increasing

number of golden millions from othercontinents, Bnd it needs only to be bet

ter known to take one of the highestplaces in our list of exports. To a patriotBitting by a corn fire the vUion of goodthings vanishing up the chimney wouldha nninful. Somebody will be proposing

next to heat buildings by extracting thecaloric in maple molasses.
