VIII remain at the
NEW DENISON Until SATURDAY, January T.

In making this announcement we wish to
thank the public for their generous recogni-
ton, Endorsement and very liberal patronage,
all of which we try to merit by skillful work,
reasonable fees and devotion to the welfare of
our patients. 1t is a well-recognized fact that
our methods are new, improved and for the
most part painless; our preparation superior,
practice unsurpassed and our success beyond
question. We make no apologies for adver-
Using, believing we have perfect right to
enjoy the privileges of other business men in
placing our claims before the public. Obser-
walton and experience teaches US that the
afflicted want cures, regardless of 'ethics" or
"pathies." This we strive to give in the least
possible time, without experimenting by doc
toring for months and perhaps years, until
~heir patience is exhausted and their purse
impoverished. How we'll we succeed we will
let our patients state. Their name is legion,
many of whom are your neighbors.

Keter for Ii cents. The grocer refusing to sell

the Medical College of Indiana. and secretary of
the faculty, was asked, yesterday, by a Journal
reporter. if Sites, the medical student who,
while drunk, attempted to embrace Mrs. Wood
worth, at her revival meeting, Monday night,
would be punished by the college.
He replied that the faculty would probably in
quire into the matter through it's proper officers,
and some action would be taken, as the college
is careful not to allow any person to enter the
profession through its portals who cannot pro
dnce satisfactory evidence of good moral char
acter.

THE OUTLOOK.

AS the Royal Mail steamer is due to-
day on her voyage from the Colonies to
San Francisco the time is oppOrtune for
saying a few words regarding the bust
ness and industrial outlook. The long
continued drOuth has been broken, and
copious rains have fallen all over the
Islands, ensuring abundant feed for
stock over wide areas OF country where
the bleaching bones of cattle that per-
ished early in the season are scattered.
The promise now is for a moist season.
This will prove trying to country roads
which were not in good condition, and
render transportation on them exceed
ingIy difficult.
The crop outlook is considered good
The only drawback is in the price of the
leading staple, sugar. If prices were to
advance even slightly, and hold up dur
ing the coming shipping season, the
planters would be moderately content,
but there is little prospect of that, while
much anxiety is felt regarding the prob
able action of the United States Govern
ment on the Treaty question. That the
Reciprocity Treaty is of the very fore
most importance to this Kingdom is
undoubted, but it likewise helps to de-
velop the productive industries of the
Pacific Coast, and therefore the hope is
entertained that home interests will be
strong enough to ensure a continuance of
it. Should it be abrogated the collapse
will be severe.
Grinding at the sugar mills Will not
generally begin before the middle OF De
cember for those plantations having
contracts with the American Refinery
but it will be resumed on other planta-
tions about the usual time. The yield is
expected to be large.
The yield of rice will not greatly, if at
all, exceed that of the previous year.
Fewer bananas will be raised for expor-
tation this season owing to the lower
range of prices on the Coast, despite the
action of the Legislature in fixing a COM
pulsory freight to stimulate production.
If there were sufficient enterprise to dry
bananas by the Alden, or any other
good process, the development OF this
industry would be rapid, because a
home demand would be created for the
fruit, while an unlimited market lies
abroad in the British Colonies, the
United States and England for the pre-
pared article Preserved bananas were /
shipped in excellent condition from the
