is work-hard, patient, and sometimes pain full. MT. Jones' fuency is at once his gift and his fatal defect. He may convince many of the people who hear him, but does not thrill them with enthusiasm. The word ''brother" is scattered through his rambling discourse, and the kindly, of-hand way in which it is spoken makes it effective. It is the best thing he does
 The people in the building go scrampling out as soon as he is through: they have listened to one of their own kind, speaking in their own day way of duty and of other things they have been interested; they have been tickled-nothing more, unless one be permit ted to assume that they have been bettered by what they have heard

The Supreme court of the United States will soon hear arguments in a case involving the definition of interstate commerce. It is a railroad case from Illinois, where the rail- road company charged higher freight for transportation to the city of New York from g point in Illinois nearer to New York than from a point at greater distance. The Illinois railroad commissioners made the point that they had no jurisdiction, as the freight was destined to point out of the State. But interstate commerce is, as usually understood, commerce between States.

The indictment of the organizers of the California Redwood company reveals the ab- surdfty of the present public land laws, as far as they relate to entries upon timber lands. At present the government has no knowledge of where it's timber lands are sit- uated. It classes them for purposes of entry precisely as though they were worth no more than grazing lands. In the case in question 96,000 acres of land were taken up at s2.oo an acre by bogus settlers. The company then sold the tract at $20 an acre. It IS heavily wooded and is rated as some of the best land on the Pacific slope.

Consumption
 Conquered :! WHEN THE DOCTORS COULD
 DO NO MORE.

CHAS. A. CABRERA, 32 Hawley Street,
 Boston, Mass, writes:
 "One year ago I was apparently so far gone with Consumption that my life seemed only question of days rather than months. With my faith in the ability of physicians to help me all gone, I tried almost every known remedy, with no apparent benefit. Finally, as a last resort, I was induced to try Dr. R. c. Flowers Lung Cordial. The very first dose gave relief, and with the first bottle took a new lease of life, and can honestly say to-day that one spoont. Il >f this remedy is worth more to the sufferer trol Lung troubles than gallon of any other k.own remedy. A bottle of it is now one of my oAoicest possessions, and at the first symptom os a cough or cold fly to it for the relief it neve- fails to give.''
 DIR. FLOWERS LUNG COR. DIAL is without question the most wonderful Lung remedy ever discovered. It eradicates the germ of CONSUMPTIeN as no remedy has ever been knOMu to do. It stands without rival for COUGHS, COLDS, BRON- CHITIS, ASTHMA and CON- SUMPTION.
 Price $1 per bottle. A copy of Dr. Flowers Rules for the Treatment of Consumption ac- companies each bottle.

The new oil fields of Wyoming in the Bingham basin are directly south of Billings, Montana, near the boundary between Mon- tana and Wyoming. They are eighty miles long by forty wide. The oil is said to con tain 40 per cent. of mineral sperm oil, 27 per cent. kerosene, with small percentages of gasoline, benzine and naphtha. Its illumi- hating power is of high order, and it is 80 pure that ranchmen in the vicinity have been burning it this winter in their lamps.

The Lancet proposes remedy for the evil effects of an east wind The real cause of it's malignancy being the avidity of the wind to take moisture, and particularly the secre- ton of the mucous membrane lining the air passages, it is recommended that succulent jujube or any morsel that gives off aqueous vapor should be carried in the mouth during the time of exposure to east wind.

PROBABLE RETENTION OF THE BUREAU
YARna Ann MIRA

No further action hes yet been taken by the
Secretary OF the Navy concerning the order
turning the Warrington navy yard
over TO the ordnance bureau. The
order abolishing the bureau Of yards and
docks has not yet been revoked,
but It IL quite certain that Il will be. Acting
Secretary, Admiral Harmony, has written TO
the Secretary on the subject, stating the need
for the retention OF the bureau, but has not yet
received o reply. One thing that seems 10
make the restoration OF the bureau y certainty
Is that the money appropriated for keeping the
yard In repair, &C., cannot under the law be
spent except by the bureau OF yards and docks
The services are such as must be performed II
the yard IL to be kept open ana the money is
not given TO any ether bureau.
