A Fair Trial

OF Hoods Sarsaparilla for scrofula, salt rheum,
or any affection caused by impure blood, is suff-
cient to convince any one of the superior and
peculiar curative powers of this medicine. The
following statement is right to the points.
"My daughter Mary was afflicted with scrof-
ul0us sore neck from the time she was % months
old till she became years of age. Jumps formed
in her neck causing great annoyance: and two of
them, after growing TO the size of a pigeons egg,
broke and discharged. One became running
sore for more than three years. We thought we
would give Hoods Sarsaparilla a thorough trial
We began with it in January, and in few months,
after she had taken five bottles all suppuraton
had ceased. We then waited three months,
when, as new lump was beginning to form, we
again gave her Hoods Sarsaparilla. After she
had taken less than two bottles the lump and all
indications of scrofula had entirely disappeared,
and now she seems to be healthy child.'

CHARLESTON, May 4.-The County Ex,
ecutive Committee Of Kanawha county
met short time since and decided that on
next Saturday the various districts in the
county should choose not only delegates to
the County Convention, but also delegates
to the Third Congressional District, the
time of holding to be named in the
future. Five members of the commit.
tee voted for this, while four, the
minority, voted against it, or in other
words, il was construed by the four as
meaning q defeat for Congressman c. P.
Snyder in the committee and in favor of
J. d. Alderson. The kickers, and they
cannot be called otherwise, they did not
abide by the decision of the majority de-

which the majority of the Executive Com

G. p. Snyders name was placed at the
bottom of the address TO the Democrats OF
Knuawha county.
The address caused much comment and
in order to set themselves right the five
members of the committee, who, by their
votes, controlled the committee, have is
sued an address to the voters. The matter
has created very strong feelings and the
friends of Anderson and Snyder are up in
arms and it seems that no compromise will
follow. There is strong feeling in the mat

THE COPPER MONOPOLY.

The French Syndicate Masters of the
Worlds Market for Three Years.
Boston, May 4.-The report that the
great French metal syndicate has lost
heavily by the collapse of the corner in tin
calls forth some interesting statements
from the officers of the big Western copper
mines that have headquarters here. Mr..
Joseph W. Clark, President of the Boston
and Montana Tamarack and O5ceola Mines,
the 6rst to make terms with the French
syndicate, said:
"The syndicate's deal in tin was an en-.
tirely side issue, and its representatives
say they have netted no lOss in the their
operations in spite of the decline. The
speculation in tin did not 60 beyond the
limits of a corner affecting the supply up
to May l. The syndicate is, therefore,
free to take care Of its copper interests,
which involve contracts controlling the
entire supply of the world for three
years, including the products of the
United States, Chill and Australia.
Our contracts with the syndicate are
perfectly conservative in character and are
fully secured by margins of cash already
put up in the form of letters of credit on
such houses as Barring Bros 4 Co., Kidder,
Peabody Il Co., and the seligmsn's of New
York. They have simply agreed to take
our entire product for three years, less a
certain quantity reserved. "

Past Week.
NEW YORK, May Ar. R. Dun & Co.,
in their weekly trade review, say: The
reports Of trade from interior points are not
enthusiastic. Inactivity or quiet is the
prevailing features, with more frequent
complaints of slow collection. The clear.
ings of Banks outside of New York con.
tinue to slightly exceed those of last week,
but less than the difference In price, which
implies the transfer Of Q slightly smaller
quantity Of products.
Speculation in wheat has been rather
active, but the net advance in price was
only aquarter of q cent, with the same in
corn, while oats declined half cent. Re-
ports Of jury 10 wheat have become
more definite, but the telegraph brings
news of extensive rains at Denver,
0mahs, Milwaukee and California. Pork
products, hogs and cotton are o little
higher, and oil has risen "a cents. Coffee
and sugar are unchanged.
The Southern supply Of iron increases,
and II is yet undetermined at what price
in Northern markets the large new fur.
naces can afford TO sell. Anthracite coal
is stronger, production having diminised.
The dry goods business is more hopeful,
though the movement Is moderate and
prices unchanged. The general result
of trading for the past month
has been decline of nearly four
per cent in prices Of commodities as q
whole, Notwithstanding the strength in
grain aud produce markets. Stocks are
about IS cents per share higher than week
ago.
The business failures during the past
seven days number for the U. s. 200 and
for Canada 25, or total Of 234. compared
with DOB last week and 1s2 for the CORE

A Day Given to the Debate on the Mills
Bill.

A Day Given to the Debate on the Mills
WASHINGTON, May 4.-The House went
into Committee of the Whole on the Mills
bill and was addressed by Mr.. Casewell, OF
Wisconsin, in favor of the bill. At the
conclusion of Mr.. Casewelps address, Mr..
Macdonald, of Minnesota, spoke in oppo-
s;tion to the protective system, and ex-
uatiated upon the injuries resulting to the
people by the locking up Of vast surplus
in the Treasury. He was not quite satis-
fed with the bill, because it did not 60 far
enough. He would place coal, iron ore
and sugar on the free list.
Mr.. Guenther, Of Wisconsin, said that
the Republicans generally were in favor Of
abolishing entirely the tax on tobacco
amounting to about $50, 900, 600; also the
tax on spirits used in the arts and manu-
factures amounting to about $6. OOO, 600.
should further reduction be necessary,
thew proposed to abolish the duty on sugar;
and in order to foster sugar
nroduction, they would pay q bounty
10 the producer amounting to
sum equal TO the present tax. This would
viye the people free sugar, and would not
DESTROY, or prevent the extension Of any
established industry.
Mr.. Wheeler, of Alsbams, spoken fsvcr
of the bill.
The committee then took recess until

consideration Of private pension bills.

STANDARD METHODS.
Witness Rice Tells How He Was Charged
high Rates for His OIL.


High Rates for His OIL.
WASHINGTON, May 4-Mr George
Rice, of Marietta, Ohio, was recalled by
the House Committee on Manufactures to.
day. He produced statements showing
the difference in tariff rates on coal oil and
cotton seed oil on the Missouri Pacific and
the Queen and Crescent railroads, coal oil
going South and cotton seed oil North.
The Louisville and Nashville railroad
officials had absolutely refused to give wit
ness rates South from Nashville, and be
was obliged to ship it in 3 round
about way and pay heavier tariff than
that charged to other dealers. For the
past five or six years he has received letters
from persons buying oil of him, in which
they complained that they had been threat
.ened by the Standard Oil Company for pur-
chasing oil from him. He had large num-
bers Of those letters and would produce
them before the committee. The witness
did not think the interstate commerce act
was radical enough. There were two i'm
portant amendments needed, viz: That the
fiues and penalties provided by the act
should apply to the shipper as well as to
the carrier, and that these fines and penal.
ties should 90 to the informer instead OF to
the government.
Mr.. C. NJ. Adams, of st. Louis, secre-
tary of the Waters-Pierce Oil Company,
read number Of letters from various per-
sons, on which Mr.. Rice had based his
statement that the Standard had attempted
to intlmidate dealers who did not buy oil
from il, were next put in evidence. Their
general tenor was that the Standard had
either received or threatened to reduce
temporarily the price of oil below the cost
Of production whenever merchants bought
oil from Mr.. Rice.
