Effects of Wheat Gambling.

C. A. Pillsbury, the big Minneapolis
miller, investigated the Eastern markets
closely during his recent trip, and is more
pronounced than ever in his views on
eshort selling" and wheat gambling.
He said recently: Legitimate wheat
should be worth % cents bushel more
than it is now, and flour at least Isl 20
more The farmers have had their atten-
tion turned to minor evils of the trade
and have been overlooking the one great
thing which has depressed prices OF all
kinds of grain for years, and until this IS
stonped. we shall never see higher prices
unless we get an absolute famine.
There is more wheat sold on the ,Chi-
capo Board of Trade every year than Is
raised in the whole world, and, say what
YOU NAV. these fictitious sales tend to
diminish the price of wheat, because the
bears know that ordinarily they have only
got to sell enough of it to break the mar
| ket. 1t is enough for the market 10
stand the sales of wheat that is already
| raised.
bears are already selling the next crop,
and selling it several cents below the price
of cash wheat now. If this is not stopped,
the whole farming interest will be ruined
The laboring man is way up in the air. a

Mr.. Randall, although he was my poiitl-
cal opponent for many years. NO more
honest or worthy man ever lived: dont

which he believed to be wrong. He was a

Representatives must have had great

When once convinced that given thing
ought to be, he never swerved because all
the rest were against him.

tration of his will power. He felt that the
salary of Congressman was inadequate;
He voted for the bill to increase it, amid
all the cry of the newspapers throughout
the country, and all the sneaking efforts
of other congressman to get him to change
his vote for it when the act was repealed

Growth of Character.

Character is the expression OF the man
himself, the outcome of the vital force IN
it's struggle with it's surroundings. In
this growth, time is an indispensable ele-
ment. Hasten slowly is the law of Prov
idence in building great life, as In crea-
ting world. No great character Is the
work of moment, or the result OF SIN
gle agency but, like the cathedrsls OF Inc
Middle Ages, it rises slowly and by the
cunning of many hands. Opportunity
does its part deprivation has its once

It's True, IT'S Pity. Pity It's, Tis True.

More than two-thirds of our sick folks
are treated by ignorant and unsklll1ul
physicians, and were it not for the Won
derful recuperative power of nature, a
much larger proportion would be hurried
prematurely into the grave on account OF
erroneous treatment. People are mostly
themselves to blame. They are a long
time getting sick but demand immediate
relief So, for dyspepsia and indigestion,
the doctor prescribes cathartic pill, for
an acidulated stomach, some alkali, for
pain, some hot hniment, for sleeplessness,
some narcotic, for skin diseases, some ex-
ternal ointment, and so might erroneous
treatment be enumerated to greater
extent, but enoughit is to show the doctor
aims to give quick temporary relief, with
out hope or expectation of any permanent
good. Now nine times out of ten dyspep
sia, weak stomach, aches, pains, sleepless
ness, nervousness, skin diseases. etc, owe
their origin to state of defective circula
ton and blood impurity, and the use o.
