Everybody has the pine piling fever down
here, and the farmers are ueglecting every
thing to take advantage ofthe Unprecedented
occasion to realize big price for their pine

fit for cord wood. They are delivered at the

or three carloads is the regular daily ship
ment Every man that can and will swing
an axe or drive team, is eagerly sought for
at SI.oo per day, and hands for other work
cannot be had.

That the body is now more susceptible to

most good. It is really wonderful for puri-
Tying and enriching the blood, creating an
appetite, aud giving healthy tone to the
whole system. Be sure to get Hoods Sar-

The onium smnrrlnrs.

CHICAGO, Aug. 25-special Agent Crow
ley, Of. the treasury department, states that
the evidence upon which Stone, Lytle and
Cummiskey were arrested Thursday at Oc-
densburg, n. Y, was based upon letters
found in tile baggage Of Gardner, who was
arrested here last Friday According To
Agent Crowley's story these letters revealed
the existence Of a conspiracy TO dispose Of
contraband opium between Gardner, Stone
and Lytle. A large number Of tin cans, such
as are usually used for opium, were also
found in Gardners room, but instead Of opium
they contained blocks Of wood Crowleyis
theory is that the scheme Of the conspirators
was to store the opium in New York. and
when Gardner's trial came up at Ogdensbure
in September to substitute these dummy cans
for those containing opium Gardner stated
to a reporter that Stone was the attorney
who defended him in a smuggling case, but
that he did not know the other two men who
were arrested at Ogdensburg.

TO London Editors.
LONDON, Aug. 25.-The st. James Gazette,
commenting on President Cleveland's mes
sage to congress, says: "I'he position Is
awkward and unpleasant for both coun-
tries. The retaliation threatened is so illog-
ical and unreasonable that it is fficult to
understand its precise cause and meaning.
Two plausible explanations occur. II may
have been intended to influence votes or
merely to bluff Canada into granting Amer
lean demands There is no doubt that the
matter is a serious one for Canada Not
merely local affairs are concerned, bat inn
perial interests are also involved. England
must and will supply proper safeguards for
her Canadian interests. We must await the
next step. II is difficult to suppose that the
matter will be allowed to end otherwise than
in perfectly friendly manner.n
The Globe says that President Cleveland
makes strong case against Canada, and
surmises that Canada viii be able TO show
equally as good a case. If the Canadians
had rejected the treaty, it says, it would
have been easy 70 understand why Mr.
Cleveland should ask for retaliation But
The Globe cannot understand why Mr..
Cleveland, generally a just man, should
punish Canadians for the act Of the Ameri-
can senate It asks il Mr. Cleveland has at
tempted bid for the Irish vote. The Pail
Mall Gazette suspends opinion upon the real
significance OF mr. Cleveland's message but
says it looks ugly The Star says it has no
fear Of war over the matter, hut Is OF the
opinion that serious friction is certain to
