THE western farmers' alliance seems to be running mad. The alliance of Kansas and Minnesota has projected a farmers trust, by which it is hoped to starve the millionaire rings of the east into paying we'll for their food next year. The plan is simply to have all the farmers of the west, or the greater part of them, pledge themselves to sell their produce only when and at what prices duly authorized committee shall order. In Kansas they are organ izing societies to prevent the foreclo- sures of mortgages and the leasing of farms sold under foreclosure. In Min nesota they refuse to pay their assess ments to a live stock insurance com- pany and threaten to lynch the man who sues the m.

LITERATURR is no longer what it once
 was. Men and women who become
 famous, or notorious, as the case may
 be, are immediately assailed by specula-
 tive publlcists either to go on the lecture platform or to write book. In any
 case it is not necessary for them to compose the lecture or go to the labor Of writing the book. There are any
 number of capable men, whose genius
 has been neglected. who can be hired to write lectures and books on any sub. Ject. Recently, however, the featuring business has fallen into disrepute. But the bookmaking business still flourishes. and few whose names have become prominent but have received temptinp offers to become authors. Too many have yielded to the temptation. There is one bright example, however. of practical good sense which deserves special mention. Mrs Garfield has steadily refused to undertake literarv work, or lend her name to any book. maker. In answer to an offer recently made, she said: "I am very busy in my family, and that is the end of my am. bition. In no way am personally famous. The name bear is honorable and honored, but my own life has been only that of an ordinary woman de-
 voted to husband and children. I have no desire to write, and always prefe, that nothing be written concerninp sde.' Wisdom and worth shine out ir these words. =

WOMAN may not be great inventor, but she is ingenious. Accordig to a correspondent, several ladies who live in a suburb of London have started a sort of little carrier-pigeon club among themselves. They have each a couple of these pretty messengers, and send notes to each other irrespective of the post or telegraph office. They say that the convenience of the plan is great, as they can arrange impromptu tea parties and collect each other for tennis with no trouble.

No Nsus in Washington.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-The report of the assassination of President Balmaceda has not yet reached here, but it may be true for all that The absence of news would not be considered as negativing the report, foR the reason that business transations between this country and Chilli are entirely cut off by the course of the revolution, and one of the incidents of the war is the recent suspension of news reports direct from that country.

The Story of the Pyramids.

Why have the pyramids endured for agesi
 Because they are founded on a firm and strong foundation, which enables thom to withstand the wear and tear of time
 In like manner strong and vigorous persons endure to late old age the wear and tear oi years of energetic toll and labor.
 It is only those who arc weak in nerve rowei ar pllysical vigor--who have not sound strength of nerve ana body constituting a firm foundation of health, who are weddings in the world, who make failures of undertakings or who fall iy the wayside in the hurly, hurly rush of life. DIS ease Is the milestone about the neck of en- erSy, paralyzing effort, and keeping thousands from fulfilling their ambitions
 Does this mean you!
 Have you lost your grit and energy?
 Does Weakening Disease Hold Tou Powerless in Its Gr0spT
 Then look to yourself, for weak feeling ana sprinr debility are the fore-runners of exhaus tion. Every sleepless moment you pass at night messages days of prostration; every hour you feel weak nervous, lanGud, tired, with shat tered nerves trembling limbs, dull head, disor' dered stomach and irregular bowels may be fol lowed by weeks and months of sickness. Every day you neglect these symptoms may mean years of unutterable misery=or those terrible results, nervous prostration, heart failure, par alysis, insanity or premature death.
 Can you afford tobe sickF
 The world will pity you living and forget you dead.
 Do you want to be well?
 To be strong in nerve, vigorous in body, pow erful in that bounding health which assures the success of every eRdeavor!
 Then be advised. and go to the nearest drug store now-not to.morrow or next week. when it may be too late and get bottle of that wonderful strength and health restorer, Dt Greene's Nervura, the acknowledged greatest of all nerve and brain invigorants. It will cer- tainly give you that health and strength you have looked for elsewhere in vain. It is purely vegetable and harmless and costs but $l,Oo per bottle.
