A Case not Beyond Help.

DR.. II. M. Hinsdale, Kenawee, Hill

of consumption. He says: "a neigh
boris wife was attacked with violent
lung disease, and pronounced beyond

to try DIR. VIM. Halls Ralsam for the

call once in awhile to talk about their

however, in ascending to the editorial
rooms to skip the double-acting spring
step which is always somewhere along
the stairs, and turns over, landing vic
tins in the cellar. This is not meant
for contributors, but for peddlers, and
nothing SO worries an editor as to find

A Weeks Operations In the Leading
Stock Market of America-StOck-
men, Attention.
Especial to The Statesman.
CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-The live stock
market is firm and prices show a
slight advance. The week opened
with light receipts and good demand,
which caused an upward movement
of about 10 cents. Exporters were
not large buyers, and the best beeves
were taken by Eastern buyers. While
there were no absolutely fancy droves
in the yards, there was small num-
Der of good to choice well-fattened
cattle, and they were quickly disposed
of at full prices. The greater part OF
the run of cattle, however, was OF
very poor quality, weights OF shipping
lots ranging from 1000 up to l444
pounds, but large majority OF the
offering> weighed less than 1870
rounds. Dressed beef operators did
some heavy buying, taking arge lots
of COWS and mixed cattle. Common
to choice shipping droves were
sold at from $685. to $685.. Butchers
paid from 81 75@5.d5 for steers suited
to their requirements, and bulls were
sold quite freely at So 5e@5, while
cows were active at $2.S5@4.65. Stock
ers and feeders ranged from $3.50
4.65 for the former to $4.7o0o.25 for
the latter.
AS the week advanced values In the
market for shipping cattle were I'M
even. or rather the views of statesmen
differed. There wSs q good demand
for certain grades of cattle. The at
tendance of buyers was fair, and there
was orders for few choice cattle of
different weights. which we're not
very easy to ill, still there was good
assortment, and OF many kinds Of cat
tie the supply was too plentiful. Ali
classes of buyers were determined to
break the market, and in this they
were partially successful, a general de
cline of about 1c. occurring IN all
grades of shipping stock below choice.
While the bulk of the receipts
consisted rs usual. of common light
weights there was fair num-
Der of good, pretty well fat
tened steers, Weighing from 1850
to 400 pounds and sales at Sc and up
wards, were quite numerous. Ex-
porters did a moderate amount of
buying. but most of the finest cattle
ware bought on eastern account,
though Chicago dealers took some
very fine steers to be cut up into
dressed beef.
Business in the market for cows
and mixed cattle not very active, but
prices showed little Change. Good
grades were in fair demand and sold
at fully former rates. but inferior to
fair canning and butchering stock
were rather Glow sale at barely steady
prices
The demand for stockers and
breeders was good and the supply cor
responded. OF ordinary lots the At.

An examination has been made of
the dressed stone for the new capitol
at the quarries near Austin. and 1t is
urged that before being placed in the
walls it should be tested by
Prof. Mallett, of the university. The
capitol building has been in progress
for upwards of two years and il
would seem that prudence would have
suggested a critical examination OF
the material to be used some time ago
If the stone Should prove to be unfit
for the purpose further delay will
be caused in the progress Of the build

of unforeseen delays to be encounte

Strong Argument For Protection
From the New York World.

"Look here, Mr.. Morrison. Do you
realize what destructive measure
your tariff bill will prove to be ? The
law framed last March admitted
spices free and placed nutmegs on the
free list. This extreme and uncalled
for measure struck at the roots of that
important industry of Connecticut
the manufacture of wooden nutrnegs.
Many factories were compelled to
shut down, while in others short time
and reduced wages had to be en-
forced. Now you come and propose
to admit lumber free. This will
crush the life out of the wooden nut
meg industry. The raw material
ought to be taxed"

My investigation of ALLoooK's
Porous PLASTER shows it to contain
valuable and essential ingredients not

superior to and more efficient than
