DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription As
to it's merits, there has been an unani-

deed it would be impossible to get to-
gether any number of women who had
given 1t trial who could have come to
any other conclusion. It cures ulcera-
tions, displacements, removes the tenden-
cy to cancerous affections and corrects all
unnatural discharges. To those who are
soon te become mothers, it is real boon
for it lessons the pains and perlls of
childbirth, promotes the secretion of an
abundance of nourishment for the child
and shortens the period'of confinement.

Mr.. Bang, who went from here to Tracy
to take charge of the electric light plant
had some trouble the first few days. The
Tracy Republican says:
It seems that the City Council, for
reasons of their own, discharged Geo.
Keebler, the electrician, and Dave Stat
ford the engineer, and hired one Conrad
Bang, of New Ulm, to run the plant at
$500 per year less salary than had been
paid. Monday morning Bang, as elec-
trician, and Otis whom he engaged as
engineer, took charge. The engineer
dotted his store clothes, and began to
take bis latitude and longitude and fam
iliarize himself with the plant. He
cleaned the boiler. packed the boxes,
fired up and was ready for business when
night came, but 10, and behold. the cleo
trio machinery would not respond to the
coaxing of the steam, and nary spark
would it emit. Mr.. Bang tried this and
that and exhausted his energies in the
vain attempt to get the animal to work,
but it was more obstinate than govern
ment mule. AS result there was no
electric light on Monday night, and oil
lamps and the ligh: of other days were
brought into requs1tion. Tuesday morn
ing the authorities telegraphed to the
Twin Cities for an expert electrician.
Then began the talk of which we spoke
in the beginning of this article, and it
was kept up throughout the day. Tues
day evening, however, the City Council,
through some arrangement with the de-
posed electrician and engineer, put them
in charge of the plant, and light was re-
stored and darkness banished. Wednes-
day afternoon the expert elcctri :ian
from Minneapolis arrived, and he in
company with the employees, the mayor
and some of the council went up to the
plant, and the new men took charge, and
while the expert and others looked on
they started the works without delay
and have had them in charge SINCE

Inyincible Guns.

Saturday last there was an extraordin-
sry test of the power of 12-inch naval
rifle on 18-inch side armor of the kind
Intended for the 10000 ton battle ships
like the Indiana, on the Potomac near
Washington.
The projectile fired from the rifle
weighed $50 pounds anil two were fired
at the plate, which had 36 inches of oak
backing, with the result of driving the
first through the plate, which it cracked
and then rebounded, and of driving the
second through the plate and into the
oak backing. These results We're OBJ
tanned with 27O and 420 pounds of gun
powder respectively. !"
Of course these projectiles going with
velocity Of 1850 to 1900 feet second
according to the charge of powder,would
have gone through the ola 80 inch armor
of an old type vessel and carried up a
mile or 50 beyond. They have striking
energy of $4,000 to $4,000 foot tons re-
spectively. Armor plates have been so
immensely strengthened of late years by
the use of nickel steel and new processes
of hardening that it is not necessary to
make the armor nf ship as thick as was
once thought necessary, and the test OF
Saturday shows that the modern rifle gun
is too much for the highest modern de-
velopment of armor plates. For years
the effort has been to make armor so
tough that no gun could penetrate it,but
as armor was strengthened inventive
genius kept inventing guns powerful
enough to penetrate it. So far the rifle
naval gun is victor. It IS evident that
no armor can be invented for vessels
which will be mastered by a stronger
gun. This 13-inch armor was the most
perfect plate yet made, but it cannot
stand before a 12-inch gun. The new
13-inch rifles made at the Washington
navy yard are even more formidable. ANY
ship armor af1oat can he penetrated by
the guns of our navy, and that gives us,
even with fewer ships than Great Britain
an appreciable equality on the sea.
For the 13-inch rifles, the government
has not yet obtained suitable gunpowder,
for every big gun has to have special
powder made for it. The projectile of !!
13-inch rife weighs 100 pounds and a
full charge Of powder must weigh half
as much as the projectile, thus necessi-
tating charge of $50 pounds of POW
der.
1t is certainly very creditable to our
government that it has beaten the world |
in rifle guns for the navy and that there
is not an armored vessel on the seas
which cannot be sunk to the bottom by
their Observation-Disclosures Journal.

Real estate has so deprecated in cash
value that loans upon it are not read
lily advanced, because of the danger
of inability to realize upon it at matur-
ity of obligations. Stocks of corporate
institutions are in many cases in worse
repute than realty and cut scarcely
any figure as security.
This feeling of doubt and dread will
gradually pass away. That is the ex-
perience of the past. There will be a
1oosening of the moneybags, an open
ing Of the. treasure vaults and the
stagnant capital will pour out through
the channels of trade. Business will
brighten. buildings viii be erected, new
enterprises will be inaugurated, en-
ployment will be furnished for labor
and the country will quickly recuper-
ate. 1t may take a little time yet for
the quickening but it is bound to come,
no matter what may be done as to sill
Yer or the tariff.

THE FIxANcIAL srAeNArroN.

The universal depression in business
circles is not because money is scarce,
| it is because it is not in circulation.
Millions of it is locked up in New York
and other eastern cities. No fnconsid-
cradle sum is in safety faults in this
city. Stagnation is what is the mat
ter. Their is more money in the United
States today than there was in years
when everything was moving along
prosperously in the channels of trade.
Why is this money not put in circu-
lation? That is a question that puz-
zles heads that are wiser than com
mon. It is possible that if more money
was coined there would be some stir
in financial circles, and if silver was
restored to its old standing, it is GER
tain that there would be a rapid re-
vival of prosperity in the west But
that does not throw light on the causes
Of the present congestion, nor is it GER
tain that it would prevent just such
panics in the future.
There seems to be an indefnable
and inexplicable feeling Of fear which
occasionally, perhaps periodically,
creeps over the financial world, and
causes capitalists to lock up their cash,
suspend practical enterprises, shut
their ears to all inducements to invest,
and brings about just such stagnation
as exists today. Why do not money
holders let it go? They are afraid Of
what are they afraid? They cannot
tell and nobody seems to know. There
is lack of confidence" is the only
answer that business men can give to
the question.
The notion that it is the disturbance
of the tariff that causes the stringency
is not believed even by those who pre-
tend 10 entertain it That is merely
demagogic dust to throw in the eyes of
the multitude Panics and all the
locking up of money have occurred
when no tariff changes were taking
place; when silver coinage was in
vogue, as well as since it has. been
"demonetized''; in gold standard and
bi-metallic countries; under free trade
and also under protection; they are not
to he accounted for by either Of those
Ialleged causes
The credit system on which the bus
mess world has been moving has been
overdone. Everybody has become in
volved in. debt. Men and women, cities
and counties states and nations, have
run beyond their means and strength.
Paralysis has set in and the life-blood
Of the business body is arrested in its
circulation.
Banks that have money. and most Of
them now have plenty, are tenacious
of it, fearing to let 1t go lest they can
not get it back when due and needed,

new process for making cider is in

A new process for making cider is in
operation in France. It is not to manu-
facture the drink from chemicals but
uses apples while it dispenses with the
cider-mill. 1t is done by diffusion.
The juice is first washed out from sliced
fruit with cold water. Warm water
acts more quickly, but the result is not
nearly so savory. The water passes
from one compartment filed with
fruit, to another, and the process is
SO arranged that in each it meets
fresher fruit than in the last, SO that
it leaves saturated with juice. or
rather it and the juice change places,
so that nearly pure juice issues from
the machine The results are said to
be satisfactory in the highest degree.
