Have the early frosts or too late a lin
gering by the garden gate again aroused
that RHEUMATISM SO peacefully
slumbering the summer long? Well, if
it's very bad you must change your diet
and perhaps take some distasteful drug
the doctor will tell you what-but first
rub thoroughly the part afflicted with
PONDS EXTRACT, then wrap it
warmly with flannel, and the rheuma-
tism may wholly disappear. 1t will GER
tainly be much relieved. Now that you
have the PONDS EXTRACT try it for

mentions. It's wonderful curative.

Secretary Hoke Smith has lately is
sued a circular to the Land Offices en-
bodying decisions and interpretations
as to the bearing of law on several inn
portant matters. \ summary of the
more important of these are given be-
low:
The first in the list is in the famous
case of the Northern Pacific VS.. Jennie
ID. Davis, which formed precedent by
which dozens Of settlers in the Palouse
country were given title to contested
farms in the last few months:
First-The provisions OF Section 6
OF the act of July 3, 1864, providing
for \ statutory withdrawal on the fill
ing of a map of general route and ex-
tending the pre-emption and home
stead laws to all other lands on the
line of said road when surveyed ex-
cept those granted, constitutes a pro-
hlbitlon against the making OF any
other withdrawal; and an indemnify
withdrawal made by direction of the
Commissioner in violation of such pro-
hibition is without effect as against
the acquisition OF settlement rights.
Sscond-A settler may purchase
and use the Improvements OF prior
occupant OF the land, but acquires no

rights as settler except by his own
acts of settlement.

rights as settler except by his own
acts Of settlement.
Third-Acts Of settlement upon un-
surveyed land must be of such a char.
acter and SO open and notorious that
the public generally may have notice
of the settlers claim.
Fourth-Acts of settlement cannot
be done by an agent or employe, but
must be performed by the individual
himself.
Fifth--A pre-emption filing that is
subsequently changed to homestead
entry exhausts the pre-empiive rights.
Sixth-A desert land declaration
may be executed before the judge OF a
county court.
Seventh-The act OF Aug. is, 1894,
validating soldiers additional home
stead certificates in the hands Of bona
fde purchasers, cannot be invoked to
defeat rights which accrued prior to
its passage.

Henry Watterson says that Clovc-
land, more than any other man on
earth is to blame for the defeat of the
Democratic party.
What, he asks, has there been in the
administration of Mr.. Cleveland to
make Democrats enthusiastic or to in
vite others to our Standard? 1t ac-
complished the repeal OF the silver
clause OF the Sherman act on false
pretenses. The further legislation for
silver that was so copiously promised
was made impossible because of Cleve-
lands bull-headed opposition.
He insulted the Democratic party of
the country, and the greater portion
OF the opposition, by making sore
head Republican the premier of his ad
ministration.
He has been slow and niggardly in
appointing Democrats to places OF
honor and profit.
He has run his great office as per-
sonal perquisite rather than public
trust. He has given more attention
to the ambitions of a select few than
to the general welfare of his party or
the advancement of the people.
His administration has been narrow,
and he seems to have looked upon it as
virtue to embarrass those to whom he
was indebted for his election.
He has been constantly in danger OF
explosion and collapse from his in
ordinate idea that he was elected to
the presidency, not as a representative
OF the Democratic party, but because
he was personally indispensable.
A catalogue of commissions and
omission much longer than this can
be made against the president, but
why 90 into further details now? Is
this not enough? Has not this been
sufficient to cast down the strongest
political party on earth? Any party
less honorable in its age would have
been routed instead of defeated.
What would have been the plight OF
Grover Cleveland had he been a candi-
date before the people on Tuesday,
November 9th? We can approximate
a picture by looking upon the mangled
remains OF his friends. Let him take
warning from the fate OF the Wilson's,
the Traceys, the Tom Johnsons, the
Bynums, the Blands, and many others.
They have all fallen because they
were the accessible target resembling
Grover Cleveland.
The Democratic party OF the nation
has been sorely defeated. 1t is not
Democracy. however, that has been re-
pulsed, but Clevelandism.
The lesson is that the Democratic
party must reorganize, upon Jefferson
ian and Jacksonian principles, and
prepare to win, as it easily can when
there is naught but pure democracy
in its makeup, in 1896.

MORE WOMEN THAN MEN.
This Statement Applies Only 10 Ger.
tain Sections Of the World.

RMS statement applies only 10 Cers
tain Sections Of the World.
Statistics prove that, taking the
world as whole, the number of men
and women is about equal but this re-
lationship varies greatly when indi-
vidual countries are considered, says
the New York Tribune. According
to the last estimate OF the worlds
population, made up from the census
in single States, Norway and Scotland
are the countries with the greatest re-
lative number Of women. In these
countries there are to every 100 men
respectively 1915 and 1912 women.
The excess Of women is also large in
Sweden there being 1868 to every 100
men; in England, where there are
l06, in Denmark with 1851, and in
Switzerland, with 1856. The coun-
tries of the north in general show a
larger population of women.
Of the lands with a moro temperate
climate Austria has 104.4 women to
100 men. Hungary 10l.5 to 100, and
France 1907 to 100.
Further toward the south men be-
come the more numerous. Spain, al
most alone OF the southern European
countries, numbers more females than
males, the proportion being 1O4 to 100.
ROumania, Servia and Bulgaria are
more masculine, so as to speak, there
being for every 100 men respectively
96.4, 94S and 965 women. In Italy
the percentage is almost equal, the re-
lationship being 99.5 to 100 in favor of
the women. In the United States, say
the authorities, the older States show
small excess of women and the new
ones an excess Of men.
There are in the Atlantic and east
ern States 1905 women to 100 men,
while in some of the Pacific and west
1
ern States there are only 69.S women
to 100 men. In new countries there is
Invariably an excess of men-a fact
natural and easy of explanation.
The promised land of women is still
Australia where even in the Oldest col
Onies the stronger sex far outnumber,
the weaker. In Victoria; New South
Wales and South Australia the rela

Of this office for use two years hence

written pledge that no appointments
for subordinate positions in his office

Ssme Facts and Figures About the

Maeistrom of Wall street.
Under the head of squandered mil
lions" Matthew Marshall, in the Ne,
York San, furnishes some importan
figures on the great losses incurred b.
the speculative public in Wall street
and what he says should have con
considerable bearing on the presen
situation. He says:
"The unwillingness of investor
with real capital to come to the as
sistance of spectators for rise in
stocks and bonds is no more than
should be expected from the recent
unpleasant experiences of 50 many O
them. Four large railroad properties
now in the hands of receivers, repre-.
sent by themselves alone nearly 81,

time, not so very long ago, yielded an
income OF between and 6 per cent

ward. In the Union Pacific system
are $GOO00,000 OF stock which used to
pay dividends OF Z per cent. per an
mum, and sold at I30, besides $780,
10000 of various bonds and guaran-
teed stocks, nearly all of which paid
g per cent. and were marketable
on an average at par. In the Northern
Pacific property are comprised $3j ,000,-
600 of preferred stock and $l10,000,0OO
of bond formerly reckoned as perfectly
safe investments. Connected with the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Company
and its affiliations are to be found $l02 :
100000 of stock, which once sold as
high as la, and $500 600 900 OF various
interest and dividend-bearing obliga-
tions, some of which were above par,
and all pretty near it. Add to these
the Reading Railroad Company's $ll6,-
100000 of bonds alone, without count
ing its stock, and we have a grand total
OF 1928, ,OOO, 600 at par, to which enough
may reasonably be added for premiums
to bring the whole up to the $1,000
100000 | have mentioned. All of this
immense sum is at present as much
lost as if it were buried in the ocean and
its loss not only deters those who have
suffered it from making fresh invest
ments liable to the same fate, but
deprives of an annual income of say
$5O,OOO,OOO, which by SO much more
diminishes the amount of capital at
their disposal.
In comparison with this 81 600, ,0OO,-
600 the $a5,O0O,OOO sunk in General
Electric, the 100000 in United
States. Cordage, the $35,OOO,OOO in
Distilling & Cattle Feeding. the :$lS,.
100000 in National Linseed Oil, and
the other sums of SIC, 600, 900 and up
ward, involved in each of the various
bankrupt industrial and railroad
corporations in the country, shrink
into insigniticance, yet when they are
all put together it is not an extrava.
CANT estimate to say that they make
an aggregate of $5OO,O00,OOO. This
sum, like the $1,000, 100000 in the
four great railway corporations named,
is not only unavailable for the time
being to its owners. but, by yielding
them no income, deprives them and
the country OF just so much means of
expenditure which would otherwise
stimulate business"
