~ toilet soaps, like
wines, grow better
as they grow older, a hard
dry cake that will powder
is the age test for soap ana
when it is in this condition
It's the best, because time
has evaporated its impurl-
ties and being harder it
does not absorb moisture
like freshly made soap, con-
sequently will last longer.
Bazin's New York Soaps
are quite as we'll known and
are as popular in the Met
ropolis as Colgate's, Pears
and other famous makes, it
was because of their being
unknown hereabouts that
the makers, anxious to have
them properly introduced,
sent us a lot of the highest
grade Turtle Oil Soap at a
price considerably under
what it was ever sold for
before, and, moreo0ey, they
guarantee 1t ten years old.
Equal in every way to
Cashmere Bouquet, Brown
Windsor and the other CSC
Soaps-large cakes, packed
three in box-we are to
sell it for 25c a box, 500
a dozen.
AS the quantity is limited
we recommend coming for
it at once.
We shall also commence
selling today a lot of Ba-

HOW TO PR0lONG LIFE IN OUR
CITIES AND TOWNS.

And in the hospitals the mortality Is much
larger, and about one-seventh OF all deaths are in
the hospitals.
Compare this reality with that of the diseased
women who enter Murdock's Free Surgical Hos
pltal for operations; everything free. including
operations.
The results show with how little risk OF life.
OF the 1000 operated on last year, representing
90 OF the worst classes OF surgery known, only D
died; the rest returned home restored to health.
Again, of the deaths in Boston, AZ of them
were cancers on the breast. We operated on
thirty-five women, with no deaths. and they re-
NAMED In the hospital eighteen days ON an
average. During the year we operate on more
women than all the hospitals of Massachusetts,
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island,
Connecticut and New York, and our mortality is
less than any one hospital, showing the value of
Murdock's Liquid Food and Suppositories in re
pairing the wastes of disease and operations.

1t Costs Less

On the question of real economy Hoods Sar-
saparilla IS SO far ahead OF other preparations as
to place them entirely out OF the race as Compel
itors. Here are facts:
l. Hoods Sarsnpariila Costs the Man
facturer lore than any other competing prep
aration because 1t is more highly concentrated
and contains more real medicinal value.
q Ii Costs the } obber More, as a conse-
quence of the fact just stated.
3. IL Costs the Retail Druggist More,
for the same reason-aS can easily be learned by
inquiry. Hence the desire of some retailers TO
sen their own preparations, which costs them less
and for which they get the same price, thus max
ing more money. But
4. IL Costs the Consumer LKSS than any
other medicine because Of its greater concentrat,
ed strength, and the quantity in each bottle, and
because 1t is the only preparation OF which can
truly be said, 900 Doses One Dollar"
That the people appreciate this is shown by the
fact that Hoods Sarsaparilla has The Largest
sale of any sarsaparilla or blood purifier. 1t pos

A MISSING CASHIER.
p. f. Pratt Runs Away with 100000 and

Y. f. Pratt Runs Away with 100000 and
a Grass Widow.
The doors of the First National Bank al
Anokd, Mimi, are closed. The cashier, p.
f. Pratt, is in Canada, having stolen about
100000. A woman as handsome as she is
wicked is in the case. The cashier went tc
Minneapolis recently and the authorities Oh
the local bank received notice from the St.
Paul Merchants Bank that their account
had been Overdrawn $4,000. Investigation
showed that Pratt hal drawn out 1000 due
the bank and twice as much more on his
cashiers check. The bank examiner
was called in and found that Pratt
was thief to the amount of nearly
100000. The directors at once closed their
doors, and q receiver was appointed. It is
impossible to tell the extent of Pratt's viii
lainy, us the banks correspondents in
New York and Chicago allowed him to
ovardraw $4,000. In addition he raised
$4,000 on his personal note, Endorsed by an
a yed widow, whose affairs he managed.
The woman with whom Pratt skipped was
Mrs. Jacobsen, a grass widow. Mrs.
Pratt never suspected her husband until
an anonymous note told her of his doings.
She then left him and went to her home in

G. Dun & Co. said: .....
Railroad earnings show an increase of about
10 per cent. over last year for March. Trade at
interior points is dull or quiet in nearly all
cases, though at Cleveland it is fairly satisfac-
tory; at Atlanta it is satisfactory, with spring
business well sustained; at Omaha it is con-
sidered good; at Kansas City improving, and at
81 Paul trade in dry-goods and clothing is &C
tive. There is Improvement at Detroit Oarticu-
larly in shlp-building and lumber is firmer
The money markets are easy and collections
nave improved somewhat at Kansas City and
Detroit but have fallen off at Atlanta. Wool
mas declined for nearly all qualities except
New Mexican and Texas The outlook is favor
able for good demand when the new clip
appears. Depressing influences are felt in the
several branches of the dry goods and clothing
trade, not the least being the accumulation of
stocks which the open winter left unsold. In
the coal market no improvement appears The
sales of copper abroad We're at about e41 per
ton. Oil has been O. shade higher, but pork SO
cents lower. Pressure to sell abroad and fear of
monetary troubles growing out of the Paris diff
nculty reduced the price of coffee half cent.
The average prices of all commodities have again
declined over half of 1 per cent for the week.
The most important change is the fall of 25s
cents IN wheat. Reports from growing and
sowing regions continue to foreshadow q
large yield this year, and the demand
from abroad, though better since prices
fell, is not large enough to promise clearing of

sustain the confidence of those who look for
improvement in oil branches of legitimate bust
ness. The apprehension of stringency in the
money markets about April has now passed
and the heavy liquidation in securities on for.
elgn account causes as yet no such withdrawal
OF foreign capital as has been feared. The bust
ness failures numbered 900, as compared with O.
