Summer Suits a Specialty; S»tsttytptA*^^ THE LEAD TRUST. The Margin of Profit Against Producer and Consumer. The paralysis in the lead trade and the consequent partisl suspension of lead mining bas become a subject of more than passing interest, buys tbe Idaho State Tribune. The failure of the Coeur d'Alene and other mine operators to form a compact or make a specific contract with the smelter combine for future output of ores demonstrates to the full satisfaction of all tlinikini! people that industrial enterprise is fast becoming subservient to speculative interests. Notwithstanding the marked decline in tlie market price of crude ore and spelter it is known and understood that market quotations are still such as to guarantee to all lead producers in the Coeur d'Alenes large profits and rich dividends on a nominal output. There are scores of instances where the mine operators ir this district have run their mines st full capacity at market prices and a margin of profit far below present quotations. But a crisis has been reached in the affairs of this country in which the producer of wealth is no longer the master of the markets nor bas he even a voice in the sale or distribution of his products. Between the miner of lead aud (lie consumer of it stands the gigantic smelter end lead trusts which rise up like a wall of adamant between producer snd consumer, and exacts tribute from industrial enterprises to the dettiment instead of the benefit of trade and commerce. In extenuation of its position the smelter trust makee a long array of figures showing the vast quantities of lead ore on hand, and uses this accumulation to force a reduction of further output on the part of the lead mines of the country. And this tliey call overproduction. But behind the smelter trust stands the great lead trust which still demands and receives an abnormally high price for manufactured lead products. To such an extent is the extortion ol combinations against consumers practised that th i restriction of consumption is prevalent the country over. The consumption of lead paints has fallen off nearly one-third within the last four months in conse- quenoe of prices which exceed thealiilily of consumers to purchase. The manufacture of- while lead aod lead pipe Is known to be a simple prirtess, requiring considerable capital in the aggregate, but when compared with the volume of output the capital invested is one-tenth of tbe capital invested in the production of crude ores, and ytt tlie margin of profit between tbe raw material and the manufactured article is as (our to ten. Tbe o-ine operator assumes nearly all the risk in the production of tbe metals besides paying high wages and extraordinary incidental expenses snd yet there is a margin of approximately seven cents a pound between the taw material and the manufactured article and onlv four cents per pound between the ore body in the lifart of the mountains and its delivery to the combine. This shows a marked dissimlitudc of profit in favor ot the manufacturer over the producer of raw materials, notwithstanding the mining end of the indusiry pays more than three-fourths ot the entire expense of production. Nor is thst all. lt is ssid that at the recent conference in New York City, between the smelter trust and the mine operators, the combine reached out to Ihe small prospectors and new discoverers of ore bodies now under development, and an attempt was made to lorce the large operating mines to yield to the msndstes o' the combine In all its demands in an agreement to completely ostracise from the markets all new mining companies who may open up new ore bodies and bid for a share ol the public patronsge. To what extent this agreement wu consummated the future alone csn tell. It is tessonably certain that if a determined effort is made by the combine to discriminate against new properties for the purpose of restricting the output to conserve their selfish interests, the independent owners of new nr ines with Isrge ore bodies will syndicate and hid for the market of the wor|d in opposition to the combine itself. The levelling process will follow snd there will be a more just and equitable eqoaalon of profile between producers and consumers. lt is the opinion of conservative students of the lesd market thst the lead trust, with ita hundreds of millions of watered stock on whicli it is compelled to declare dividends to the bankruptcy o' mining, will follow lhe road of the barb wire trust and the other combines who have so restricted the use of their mater isls an to lorce themselves into bank ruptcy (or want of customers. It must not be forgotten Ihat people will only buy lead products In such qualities ss they can sfiord tp buy, and people who h ive houses to pajnt will let them lado out in the snn (ind ruin when the price ol lesd exceeds tbe prollt ol their In tei- | cats which contribute to its use. June shipments from the Queen Bess mine total 151 tons. The Arlington management states that the *'$20,000 dividend," spoken of by the local press is not a dividend at all but a payment to the bank of that amount upon the first mortgage debentures. During the week supplies were sent up to the L. H. mine, on Red Mountain, and a force of men bave done to work to moro fully develope that property. The L. H. is Silverton's banner gold mine and when that property is worked to its full capacity our fame as a gold camp will be established. Work has been commenced on tlis> repairing of the lower end ol the Galena Farm road, nnder the foremnnship of Henry Wilson.. This piece of road is uied by the Hewitt mine and in anticipation of the heavy ore hauling that will be passing over it within the next few days the Government bas put this 'oree of men to work.

I a Complete Review of the Event* of the Past Week—In ThU and For- cIkii Land*—Taken From the Latest DUpntchee. Everett was chosen by the Washington Grand Army, Women's Relief Corps-and Sons of Veterans for the annual encampment of 1902. The bodies of Frank C. Forrest and Louise E. Strothoff were found in the road live miles from Quincy, 111., recently. Each hud been shot. At Rochester, N. Y., one thousand striking laborers hud a brisk encounter with the police, in which 11 policemen mid 20 rioters were injured. Tlie rioters set out, as ■before, to drive off tho laborers working on street improvements. At Mill and Commercial streets they encountered 50 laborers employed by the Rochester Gas & Electric company in dig- gin? a trench, and drove tliein from the trench. At Williamson, Va., there Is no longer any doubt that the list of dead. the result of the recent flood, will ex ceed 100. At VInlta, I. T., George Williams, lying on his deathbed, confessed to be an accomplice In the murder lasi September, at Pryor Creek, of T. E Smith and Green Smith of Sweden, I. T. Senator Hanna has given $50,000 to Kenyon college ln Ohio for a new dormitory, which, at his request, will be called the 'Politicians' Barracks:' During the past year a $100,000 en dowmen for the college has been raised. J. P. Jones, a leading builder and contractor of Walla Walla, was at most Instantly killed recently by fall Ing from a high scaffold. His fellow- workman, Robert Zeldler, went through the scaffold also, but caught a plank just in time to save himself. At the Yale alumni dinner recently !t was announced that the $2,000,000 fixed as the amount of the big een tennml fund hns all been provided, the principal new pledgers being Frederick Vanderbilt and James J. Hill of New York and Matthew Bor den of Fall River. Schrlnkengost, the federal prisoner charged with postoffice robbery in Idaho, who with two other prisoners one of them Peter Dempsoy, the con demned murderer, escaped from the county jail at Butte, on Sunday, was captured at Dillon. Dempsey and Healey are still at large. Je3sle Morrison was found guilty of manslaughter In the second degree. The attention of the navy department has been formally called to what appears-to be an unsatisfactory condition of affairs in Guam. Comptroller Dawes ordered the closing of the Seventh National Bank of New York, and appointed Forest Ray- nor, bank examiner, temporary receiver. Heavy storms are reported all over Minnesota' and Wisconsin, and the property loss will run Into the thousands, while a number of persons bave been Injured and many head of live stock killed. Jn a race never excelled on the Thames, Yale's 'varsity crew won from Harvard the great inter-unlverslty roWlng event of the year in the last half mile of the four-mile course, by a scant two lengths. After making a careful canvass of the northwest territory and preparing conservative estimates upon conditions found throughout the grain belt, traffic officials of several railroads are agreed that the grain yield for 1901 will be the largest ever harvested. The forthcoming statement of the coinage executed at the mints of the United States for the fiscal year ending June 29, 1901, will show the total coinage to have been $136,310,781, as'follows: Gold, $99,065,715; silver, $35,- 265,498; minor coins, $2,009,568. A* the result of the breaking of the temporary platform built cn a scaffolding and bridging the top of a monstrous tank In* the eastern elevator at Buffalo, N, Y„ six men fell a distance of 80 feet and four were killed. The dead: John Keefe, jr., W. Krause, John Cortsett, Jr., Petro Krotlnger. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, Is suffering from a possible fracture of the skull. While his condition is critical, his physician Bays he will probably recover. He was Injured as he was alighting from a car on which he had been taking his two children for an outing. Flnat arrangements have been made for the fifth annual convention of the American Livestock Association and the second annual livestock exposition, which will be held in Chicago December 3 to 6 Inclusive. John W. Springer, president of the association, has leased the Studebaker theatre for the sessions. A proclamation of King Edward Issued recently announces that his coronation Is to take place on a day not yet determined on ln June next, and that ceremonies shall Include only such as are traditionally solemnized ln Westminster Abbey. This officially excludes the king's champion and numerous ancient usages In connection with the procession. During the(debate on the army reorganization b'lll In the house of lords, ln London, Lord Wolsely, the former commander In chief of the forces, declared that the United States army was the finest of Its size In the world. He aaid Ita superiority was due to good wages. Great Britain must face tbe <<___M_«_______________»MM_>MMiM_l alternative of conscription or bounties to secure recruits. • The fight between Jack Root of Chicago' and Kid Carter of Brooklyn in San Francisco, was a hard contest with an unsatisfactory ending. In the 15th round both men were fighting strong, with the advantage in Root's favor, when Carter swung a hard left on his opponent's body. Root went down on his back, his features contorted with pain and his hands clutching his groin. Referee Wand gave the right to Root, saying that Carter had struck Root a foul blow. The foul, If any, was not apparent to the spectators. OUR NORTHWESTERN MINES. Items Gleaned From Lute Reports All Districts Are Belli* Developed —A Prosperous Year Is I'redlcted- ,111 nl iib Notes and Personals. TRADE REPORT. Bradstreet's report of trade for last week Is as follows: The Industrial developments of the week were largely favorable. There ls a good tone in woolen goods and this is reflected In firmer quotations for the finer grades of raw material. Boot and shoe shlpmencs were well up to the maximum again, exceeding 100,000 cases from eastern points for the week, while the margin In favor of this year's shipments continues to grow. Export demand for leather continues good and there is reported an active competition for goat-skins between domestic and foreign buyers. Iron and steel show few notably new features. The machinists' strike has unquestionably hurt the foundry business, but this trouble appears to be subsiding and the settlement of the tin plate scale, an advance being conceded to workingmen, leads to the expectation that other branches of the trade will reach a like amicable settlement with their employed. Advices from British markets are that American steel billets are being offered at very low prices, which In view of the strength of billets at home, may be taken to Indicate that American manufacturers are In the export business to stay. Seasonable weather has come to the aid of the corn plant and that great staple bas made good progresss, although still undeniably backward. Winter wheat harvesting has progressed under exceptionally favorable circumstances and reports as to quantity and quality confirm earlier sanguine advices. For the week prices show little change. Early liquidation, due to continued favorable crop reports, gave way to a firmer feeling in wheat. Wheat (Including flour) shipments for the week aggregate 4,374,147 bushels, against 5,250,831 bushels last week; 3,184,144 bushels ln the corresponding week of 1900 and 3,428,998 in 1899. The failures for the United States number 196, 185 In this week a year ago and 158 in 1899. Canadian failures for the week number 20, and 18 ln this week a year ago. Wheat Portland.—Easy, Walla Walla, 57® 58c. Tacoma.—Quiet and unchanged; bluestem, 59c; club, 58c. Panic on Board. South Norwalk, Conn.. July 1.—Seven hundred employe* nf the Jolm W. Green hat factory left Banbury for an exclusion to (Jlen island, the steamer Mohawk being chartered fnr the trip. After spending the day on the island the party boarded the steamer for the return trip at almut 5 o'clock. The steamer had been under way uibout 10 minutes when the excursionist* were startled by a tremendous crash, the ship having struck a rock. A panic then followed, during which every one of the 700 passengers on bourd scrambled for the life preservers. In the crush which followed women and children were knocked down and trampled upon. One child hail an ami broken, and another was picked up seriously injured about the body. During the time the steamer hud lieen steadily settling, and 10 minutes after the crash the first deck was submerged, Three launches which were near by when the accident oeccurred hr.d by this time nearly reached the disabled steamer. They inline mediately went to the rescue of the pussen gers who jumped overlioard. The passen gers on the second deck were by Ihis time in nearly as had a predicament B* Iheir fellow excursionists on the first deck liud been a .short time before. The water was just beginning to wash over the deck when an excursion boat arrived from (Jlen island and took on board the remaining piisscn gers. Some of the old prospectors of the Coeur d'Alenes plan to make a trip through the country south, beyond the St. Joe river. There is a legion nearly 40 miles square on which, so far as known, the foot of white man has never trod. H.-jniiiiii'. The only mint v." _.uu».u quartz to the Republic mill is the Tom Vhumb. The ore ls taken from the dump at No. 2 shaft. This will give a fair test of the ore as it is taken out of the ledge for a length of 200 feet. The news from St. Paul that J. J. Hill means to build into Republic by way of Midway has caused a good deal of iiiystitlcatinii among mining men. They are nonplussed that the astute president of the Great Northern should make an extra haul of 20 miles, In order to reach the reservation mining camp. A force is drifting on the 300 foot level In the California. The ledge ls maintaining Its usual width. One recent assay showed a value of $23G per ton and another $170. The property in all the levels never looked better. Manager Delbrldge has asked for bids to sink the shaft an additional 100 feet. Work should begin July 5. The shaft on the Trade Dollar Is 160 feet deep. Superintendent Kells says that there Is four feet of solid quartz in the bottom. This has been about the size of the ore body for the past 25 feet. The grade ls aliout the same as in the San Poll and the Ben Hur. There Is more gold and less silver per ton than tn either of the former claims. David Longley, who recently purchased the Oversight, on Belcher mountain, for $300 has a force of men working sinking a shaft through a mass of highly mineralized decomposed quartz. Frank Raborg, a mining expert, who was at the claim a few days ago, says that the quartz will avenge from $19 to $26 per ton, and that it Is Impossible to pan without obtaining many coloi'3. The Republic Mill company has ceased hauling ore from the Lone Pine- Surprise, and will take no more. It has been town talk for a week that the mill would shut down on the first of July. It ls the general belief here that the mill will close at once. Many men have lieen discharged and are preparing to leave the camp, and many still on the payroll expect to get their time tomorrow. The ores of the Ben Hur mine have been subjected to quite a thorough test In the Republic mill. Three distinct tests were made. One hundred and ten tons were taken from one dump, 125 from another and 115 tons were stoped from the mine expressly for the test. George Miller, the superintendent, states that these tests have satis- fled the officers of the company that the Ben Hur will be a dividend payer very shortly after the camp Is supplied with abundant transportation facilities. •spin the nun. i.

UH I I IMI COLUMBIA. Work is to be resumed on the Leviathan group on the Kootenay lake. Fred Kelly, owner of the famous Reco mine ln British Columbia, has bonded the Oro Grande group of claims adjoining the Alamo mine from Mal- com Munroe, and also the Jack Martin group at Roblnsonville. Mark Manley announces that the last payment on the bond of the Iron Horae, on Ten Mile creek, had been deposited ln bank. The original amount of the bond was $19,500 and was held by W. D. Wrlghter and associates of Spokane. The biggest gold brick on record Is to be sent from British Columbia to Glasgow for exhibition there during the summer. It weighs 1000 pounds and is valued at $200,000. lt comprises the year's cleanup of the Cariboo Hydraulic company. W. H. Jeffery, M. E., of Kaslo, has received a telegram from Chicago capitalists to whom his Kaslo smelter proposition was submitted. They wired that representatives of the. syndicate would be sent at once to go over the ground beforo final action ls taken. The bond on the May and Jennie group on Forty-nine creek has boen thrown up. It was bonded to the United Gold Fields last fall at a flguro approximating $100,000. The company made three payments to the owner, A. H. Kelly of Nelson, aggregating $35,- 000. From Nelson It ls reported the London and the Richelieu mines will soon be ready to ship over the new tramway at the rate of 60 tons per day. T. G. Roy, the manager, says the company has $150,000 worth of ore In sight. It Is the Intention to erect a mill this summer. News comes from London that the Le Roi No. 2 company, working a large group of mines at Rossland, has paid its first dividend of $144,000. That ls on the lms_s of 5 shillings a share, which Is 5 per cent on tin? capital. Tho company Is Incorporated for £600,000 ln £5 shares. There Is a full face of milk white quartz ln the west drift of the third level of the Stemwlnder, at Fairview, now In 90 feet. No attempt has been mado to ascertain Its width. The vein on the second level Is from 18 to 20 feet between the walls, while the average width Is from 6 to 8 feet ln other parts of the mine. A rich strike of bornlto has been made on the summit of Lake monntain, near Violin lake, within two miles of tha Crown Point mine. A ledge Of bornite ore over seven fcW in width was encountered. The l?ad has beeu opened up at two points, 400 feet apart. Picked specimens from the ledge yesterday assayed $200 in gold and copper. The mine under the management of Bernard MacDonald, employing over 1000 men, were closed down last week. They will be Idle until July 5 nt least, and It Is Impossible to say when they will be reopened. The properties thus shut down include the Le Rot, the Josie, the No. 1, the Annie, the Nickel Plate, the Great Western and the Co- lumbia-Kootenay. The St. Eugene properties at Moyie closed down last week. For some time, the company operating the St. Eugene has been shipping their concentrates direct to Belgium for both smelting and refining. While there has been a profit In this, It Is evidently not considered enough, and It is said that for this reason there will be a total close down. This will be a severe blow to Moyie, as the town at prnsent depends entirely on the St. Eugene, either directly or Indirectly, for Its existence. MINING NOTlCfl. For the present the ii"w company will centralize Its work in Alaska. The rich strlko In Malheur district, In eastern Oregon, which has caused considerable excitement lately, Is proving as good as first reported. At Wallace, Idaho, the Chloride Queen Mining & Milling company has let a contract to continue the lower tunnel 500 feet fnrther. It has already been run ln 100 feet this year. The new contract will keep four men busy for the greater part of a year. An assay on some of the ore from the new strike in. the Hercules, at Wallaie. Idnho. has yielded 66.2 per cent lead and 91.7 ounces in silver. The famous Father Lode, near Sun set peak. In the Coeur d'Alenes, has been sold to a syndicate of eastern men. who will push development. The placer grounds at Mormon basin, in Malheur county, Oregon, are attract Ing much attention, though no concerted action has been taken to get water on the ground. The gravel Is exceedingly rich and Is said to pay big returns wherever worked. A strike that promises to be of con slderable importance has been made in the Buckhorn group on Flat creek, below Northport, Wash. At a depth of 110 feet In the tunnel the miners have met nn 18-lnch pay streak of copper that gives very high returns. At Wallace, Idaho, the directors of the Amador have decided that the property Is developed to a point where shipments can be made. It was decided to employ the whole force on the construe tion of a wagon road to the railroad. As soon as It Is completed, ln two or three weeks, regular shipments will begin. Interest in Tyson, Idaho, camp Is still at a high tension. Out of some decomposed quartz that could be placed in an ordinary sewing thimble over 10 c.'ifs of gold was extracted. The quartz eanu :vom the Richmond. Many beautiful specimens have been secured and most of the prospectors have their pockets full. A. M. Halter of Helena has taken a bond on a controlling In'erest ln the Alice group, near Wallace. Idaho, and will put from 12 to 15 men to sinking on the ore. The group consists of 24 claims midway between here and Mul- lan and about a mile north from the South Fork, running nearly parallel with that stream. Patrick Clark, of Spokane, who has made half a dozen fortunes in mining, is completing plans for a strong new development, company. It will be Incorporated In the next few weeks. It promises to be the most important flotation that has been made recently In the northwest. Mr. Clark will make it a development company pure and simple. With pardonable pride In his home town. Mr. Clark has decided to name his new corporation the Spokane Development company.- It will be controlled almost altogether by local min ing men. Among those heavily Interested nre Mr. Clark, Major B. C. Kingsbury and W. J. C. Wakefield. The only outsider largely concerned Is H. L. Frank, the millionaire mining man of Butte, who has been allied with Mr. Clark In the operations of the latter for many yenrs. The returns from the trlnl shipment of ore from the Horn Silver mine In Okanogan county, Wnsh., havo been received, and tho oro nets thn company over $100 to the ton. The ore was sent to the Puget Sound reduction works, and the amount received by the company after deducting the $10 for treatment was $117.83 to the ton. The ore shipped was taken from the first prospect shaft, and not from the working Bhaft. Thero are few mines that can net $100 to the ton from the grass roots and the company hopes to tie able to ship a carload of the same character In the near future to aid In the further development work on the property.

J. 8haffer of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and jm Workera, Them are over 20,000 men affected by this order, and every mlll operated by the American Sheet gteel company where union men are employed throughout the country will c|0ge indefinitely or until such time BS a settlement of the matters In dls- puto has been reached. The officials 0t the American Sheet Steel company refuse to discuss the troubles with llielr workmen. p. Smith, the manager of tho De- yegg Wood plant of the company, and Mr. Kline, who Ir alsd connected with die company, acted as negotiators for the combine. Mr. Smith Is said to have been one of the most pronounced nonunion mill managers ln the country, and from the time ho represented the company in the present wage negotiations trouble was anticipated by thc men. At the offices of the Amalga niaicd association today It was said that the sheet steel workers had de- dded at the last convention of the Amalgamated association to ask only for the readoptlon of the present Bcale for the present year. No changes were wanted, but there would be one demand, and that waB that the American Sheet'Btefcl company should sign the Male so that It would cover all of its plants. In other words, the Amalgamated assisiat Inn asked that non-union plants now operated by the combine should be turned over to tho union and be governed bv the same rules as thp union millB. Tho officials of the company decline to consider tills proposition. This morning, at tho solicitation of Manager Smith, for the American Sheet Steel company, the wage committee of the Amalgamated assoeia tinn met ln conference at the Hotel Lincoln. At this final conference Mr. Smith submitted an ultimatum to the workman, which was ln effect that thc mane scale for the plants of the com- tiany would be signed without ques- tier with the exception of the Old Meadow mills in Scottdnle. the De- pen Wood mill In McKeeaport, the HVIlsville plant and all other plants H"t now considered a part of the union » ''kmen's piovince. Hip workers' committee refused absolutely tr ciiiisiiii-i- the proposition, and In 10 minute* the conference ad Journad without formalities. As soon as the conference was over Presi- i! "nt Shnffor Issued an urgent call for a meeting of the advisory board. The board met ami approved tho decision of the prealdenl to call out all men of the unii n The strike order In peneral will take men from the nonunion plants who belong to tho organisation, as well as the union mills. The men explain their demand for thc unionizing of all the mills of the combine by stating that last year the com bine had taken advantage of Its position in having tho non-union mills by operating them first and having the other mills idle until preasure of luislnegfi forced them to stnrt. It wns resolved hv tho mon at that time that Mich a Chance should never occur again for the company; tbat it would be either all union mills or nil non union mills. . It is generally agreed, however, that the real test of strength between the combine and the workers will not be made until aft"r the warm weather. Hurlng July and August there will be no strike benefits paid the men out of work, as these two months are used by shoot mills', like all other iron plants, for repairs. After September 1. If the scale Ib not signed, the Aninl- !;amated association will be called on for support of thc Idle men. ■ 'nn-Allierieiin ( om|il.-lt-(l. Buffalo, \.

The air they breathe is tilled witli germs, sewer gas and dust from the filthy streets are inhaled into the lungs antl taken into the blood. At the crowded school rooms and other public places tliey come in contact almost daily with others recovering from or in the first stages of contagious diseases. You can't quarantine against tlie balance of tlie world, and thc best you can do is to keep their blood in good condition, and thus prevent or at least mitigate the disease. You have perhaps learned from observation or experience that healthy, robust children (and this means, of course, children whose blood is pure) are not nearly so liable to contract diseases peculiar to them, and when they do it is generally in a mild form. On the other hand, weak, emaciated and sickly ones seem to catch every disease that comes along, this is because their blood is lacking in nil the elements necessary to sustain and build up the body. Poisons of every description accumulate in the system, because the polluted and sluggish blood is unable to perform its proper functions. Such children need a blood purifier and tonic to give Strength and vitality to their blood, andS. S. S., being a purely vegetable remedy, makes it the safest and best for Uie delicate constitutions of children. S. S. S. is not only a perfect blood medicine, but is pre-eminently the tonic for children; it increases their appetites and strengthens the digestion and assimilation of food. If your children have any hereditary or acquired taint in their blood, irive them S. 8.

The loss represents deaths iu consequence of the famine. In Kngland a development as Intensely interesting as it was unexpected has occurred concerning the challenger for the America's cup. This is due to the action of Kenneth lfl. Clark, owner of the cutter Karaid. Mr. Clark has had three opportunities of racing the Karaid against the Shamrock I., and he has witnessed all the trials of the two Shamrocks since the challenger was refitted. His observations have led him to doubt seriously whether the Shamrock II. Is good enough to send to American waters In challenge for the cup. He has a belief amounting to a conviction that the Karaid is a better boat, length for length, than the Shamrock II., and he desires to see this question settled lie- fore any yacht goes out as a challenger.

One of these is from Rev. Enoch Hill, pastor of the M.

For three or four years I was a sufferer from general debility. I seemed to be lacking in vitality, was tired out must of the time and sleep gave me no rest or refreshment. I was troubled with headache much of the time and my illness incapacitated me for energetic work in my pastorate. "A sister-in-lnw living in Nebraska, who had suffered very much and who had used Dr. William's Pink Pills with good results, recommended them to nie and I decided to try them. I bud taken but two or three doses of the pills when I found that they were helping nie, and further use of the remedy brought such relief that I am glad to oner this public recommendation of Dr. William's Pink Pills for Pale People in the interest of suffering humanity. "My wife was troubled much as I was und the pills also proved of great benefit in bor case. 1 have recommended the pills to niiuiy whom I have met in my work and am always pleased to indorse the medicine, tbo excellence of which has been established within my own observation."

LITTLE BREECHES I m * O^ When will the Canadian people quit talking, chasing royal phantoms, sticking extra feathers in their hats and patting themselves on the back and get down to business) Canadisns have in thia broad Dominion tbe making of one pf the most prosperous snd powerful countries of the earth. It has many rich natural resources which only await the application of the brain and hand of man to make them of immense value and why are theso resources, even in our older provinces, lying idle to-day 1 Not because the country is young, for it is as old to the wbiteman as any of the country to the south of ua Not because the Oanadisn people lack brains or enterprise, for have not the sons of Canada in more than one foreign land climbed the ladder of fame to the topmost round. Then what can be the reason of this st-tg-- natiou? This dry-rot that has spread like a cancer, across the country from ocean to ocean, If it is neither lack of brains, enterprise or lack of natural resources, what is it? Is it in bowing to the pomp and formalities of sovereignity in Europe thst we lqse patrotism towards our own country! Oan it be thst we have so much red- tape, fuss snd feathers in the administration of our Government that we bave no time to get down to a business bans in the running of our own attaint Or can it be that we aie so accustomed to sitting down with folded hands and calling for help from foreign capital and enterprise to develope our resources tbat we hare become like sheep without leaders) Must we alwsys ue dependent upon that restless, pushing, enterprising, braggart nation to our south for our market, our capital and the manufacturing of our raw products? There is a reason for all those things and the reason is something lacking within ourselves. What is this reason? Will not some Moses ariw and lead this nation out of its commercial bondage? Awake people of Oanadsl Depend upon and place more dependence upon yourselves and with the help of your broad prairies, immense forests, mines and fisheries carve out a place for your country amongst the leading nations ot the earth. I don't go much on religion, I never ain't luid no hIiow ; But I've got a middling tight giip, r, On the handful.oi thinus 1 know. I don't pan out ou tlie profits And true will snd that sort of thing, But 1 believe in (.o I anil the angeltt, x Ever since one uiglu last spring. I came into town with some turnips, And my little Uabe came bIoiik, No lour-y ear-old in .the country Could beat him ior prettv aud strong, Peart, and chipper and sassy. Always ready to swear aud fight— And 1 lurnt him tu chaw terbacker Just to keep his iuilk-tee(ti white. The snow came down like a blanket As I passed hy TnggHits store; I went in ior a jug of molalities And left the team at the door, They scared at somethini; and started, 1 heard one little squall. And hell-to-spllt over the prsirie Went team Little Breeches and all. Hell-to-split over the prsirie, I was almost frooxe'wiih akeer; But we rousted up some torchts And searched ior them far and near. At hint we iu ruck (sonars and waguti, Snowed under a Muft while mo lid, Upbot dead lieat, but oi little Oabe No hide nor h iir waa lound. And here all hope soured on me Of my leiluw critler'a aid— I jeat flopped down on my marrow-bone* . Crouched deep iu the sin. a-, and prayed By this the torches was p!uyrd out, And me and Isrul Parr, \Vei_| oil'foi some wood to a sheep-fold That he said waa aoine wh are ihur. We found it at last, nod a little ahed Where Ihey shut up the Iain n* at night, We looked in and Been Ilium liud.iled tuar So warm and a eepy and while; Aid timrsat Little Breeches ami cDirped, As pert a< ever yuu see, "1 wants chaw of lertiscscr, \^^ And that's what's tile matter wiih ine." How did he get thar? Angels! lie could never have walked in that storm. They just scooped dOwn and toted hiiu To wliar it was safe and Warm.

That it ia needed every prospector, miner and businessman in this district knows full well. It will open np a large country in which years of work and thousands of dollars have been expended by claim owners and which the lack of transportation facilities has retarded the development of to such an extent that at present but few are working there. Red Mountain with its mammoth ledges of gold-copper ore is looked upon heie the backbone of the Bilverton camp and if the Government fails to keep its promise to build this rosd at once [it means a -blue- outlook for our cwnpl MINIMS OF OUR HORSE EDITOR. God made the world aod all thst is therein—except the mule. The mule is the creation of man and whether be improved on God's handiwork or not has been a matter of grave dispute ever since the creation of tlie lirst mule. There is probably no domestic animal in tl.e world, unless it be the mule's father thst is subject to so much abuse, ol whom bo much is expected and towards whom so little consideration snd kindnens is shown. No wonder Ihe disposition ol the mule family is spoiled, why should he not be tricky, stubborn snd mean when the first thing he learns alter he realizes thst he is a mule Ib that he has nothing to expect in this world but curses and kicks. Little wonder (hat bis kicking instincts are highly developed and thst he returns curses by sulkfness snd kicks wilh compound Interest. Yet the mule has his redeeming quslities and no one will deny that he is one of the most iiselnl of our domestic animals, if you can call an snimsl domesticsted thst none but fools and children will approach without a certain amount of fear. If there is an extra heavy piece of machinery t" be transported up to one of our mines, who getc the job but s poor patient mule; when a hesvy heart-breaking pull hss to he made the horse ia taken out of Ibe harness and with blows and curse* the job is given to the male. There ore places on this earth where man could hardly subsist but for the mule. Nothing csn take his place on Ihe sweltering plains Texas, the malarial districts of the south or on the rocky passes of the higher mountains. The mule has won cam- paigns In the Phillipineaand of what use would onr brave 240,000 soldiers in South Africa be without the mule. When the Boers are conquered the mules should not be overlooked when giving out the prines. Men hjtve.been railed mules for hanging a jury and letting their cpnscience and sense of just fee interfere with thn desire of Hiepther jurymen lo go to dinner, It there was y t W t We warrant this to cure the most obstinate t cases. 25 Cents a Bottle. *) m • _____________ a****, dt r*s\t*p,tKwK4**. ijkAAAAiiA ____■____. \as\d*\swtA*f*sSd\d kAAAAAi^k AlAAAAAl kAAAAA^A ____________ mm* Atr\iy*\f**)AX**i*%m***rt V»FWWCfm AWtk vvww ¥¥¥▼▼▼ in n vtwwtt w w ww *w ■■ mm UEViJkAAAiw JviiAAaa.*'!
