any protectionist rise and explain

which we are surrounded and let our
goods out in foreign market?

For the relief and cure of a cold in
the head there is more potency in
Ely's Cream Balm than in ANYTHING
else it is possible to prescribe. This
preparation has for years past been
making brilliant success as a rem
edy for cold in the head. catarrh and
hay fever. Used in the initial stages
of these complaints Cream Balm pre-
vents any serious development of
the symptoms, while almost number.
less cases are on record of radical
cures of chronic catarrh and hay
fever, after all other treatments have
proved of no avail.

Loans Made on Horizon Marsh for Thrice
the Value of the Land.
MILWAUKEE, March S.-For several
years the Horizon marsh. fifty miles
northwest Of here, has been "a favorite re-
sort for duck hunters. 1t is fifteen miles
in length and six miles in breadth. The
5000 acres in the watery stretch is u
breeding place for all species of water
fowl, and such is the nature of
the land that it is hardly fit for
anything else. 1t is peculiar, therefore,
that the property has been mortgaged
for S64, 200, the accrued interest increasing
the total amount to $4,000, more than
three times the value of the land. 1t is re-
ported that United States marshal will
sell the marsh April /, in satisfaction of
loans made upon it, and by virtne of de-
cree entered in the United States circuit
court. Considerable mystery surrounds
the transaction by which the land became
mortgaged for an amount SO far in excess
Of its actual worth.

GREENsBuRG, Pa, March s.--Informa-
ton from o prominent official of the H.
c. Frick Coke company is to the effect
that within two weeks nearly every coke
oven in the COnneilsville region will DE
fired up. The move will cover at least 30
per cent. of all the ovens in the region;
more, it can be said, than have been in
operation for three years past. At the
very lowest estimate six thousand men
who are now idle, will be given employ
