Tired Women

which threaten them because OF their
weakness, languor and lack of ambition.
Thousands OF women find their strength
unequal to the demands of duty. And
vet there is no escape from the incessant
round of care and toll. They must have
strength. How shall it be given? By
building up their systems through puri-
fed. enriched and vitalized blood.
Hoods sarsaparilla will give them
strength because it will make their blood
pure and enable it to feed the nerves upon
proper nourishment. 1t viii create an
appetite. tone the stomach and inyigorate
every organ. 1t iswhat tired women need.

Despite the evidences on every
side of the steady and substantial re-
turning of better times, there are still
to be found pessimists who affect to
regard the testimony in a different
light and pretend to find in the start
ing up of idle factories, the increase
of output in those already operated
and the general advancement of
wages merely a spasmodic effort on
the part of manufacturers. The
return of prosperity to every section
is assured. 1t is as certain as the
movements of the planets, and the
doubters who pretend to believe 9TH
erwise are commercial astronomers of
the Rev. Jasper stripe.

BOOM FOR DAVIS.
Cushman II. Has Some Lively Sup
pOrters in the East.

New York, July 21.-The presence
here of NJ. J. Bowling, John Goodnow
and Sam Phillips, who are all speak
ing earnestly for CuShman X. Davis
for president. attracts much attention
from politicians, who regard it as
step toward starting the Davis boom
in the East. These MinneSotans say
that Senator Davis can count on solid
delegations from Minnesota, North and
South Dakota, as we'll as on a part of
the Wisconsin delegation. The Morn
ing Journal prints large portrait Of
the senator, and says that whatever
may be his presidential strength, he
Is undoubtedly the most formidable
vice presidential candidate whose
name has been mentioned. 1t is said
that Mckinley, Reed and Harrison
have each been claiming the North
west, but now find rival in the field.
II adds:
"MinnesOtans are n lively set of
boomers. and when they say they are
going TO present Il Senator Davis dele
CATION at the Republican national con.
ventiOn, it means something"

as Ford, Andrew II. Finn and ]. X.
Cunningham, who are believed to be
implicated in the murder Of young
Wrolson, were to-day lodged in the
Ramsey county Jail. One Of the prin-
cipals, named Williams, has gone east,
but will probably be captured.
Finn, who claims to be cousin OF
the late Judge O'Brien, has confessed.
He says the gang put morphine into
WrolsOn's beer for the purpose Of rob-
bing him of $50. He got 81. He ac-
cuses Ford and Williams with being
the principals. The gang got Wrol-
son against box car and made him
drink the beer. He said: you want
to lay me out and rob me-"

The Illimitabie Depths OF Space.

Sir Robert Ball, who has an unequal
ed faculty Of throwing light upon as
Economical facts which are ordinarily
beyond the power Of the human mind
to grasp, has endeavored in the last OF
his lecture To suggest the inCOnceivable
distance of some of the stars in the
heavc rs. Taking electricity, which will
travel around the world seven times in
one second. or, as it is generally calcu-
lated, 10000 miles a second, Us the
unit Of speed. he shows that it would
take eight minutes TO serd Il message
to the sun. To reach Alpha Centauri,
the nearest 5 ar, however, would take
no less than four years. Many Of the
still more remote S'alS would be st III
unrcached II an electrical impulse had
been dispatched To them at the time Of
the battle of Waterloo, eighty years
ago, and had been continuously travel
ing in their direction at its normal
gait of $4,000 miles a second. Again,
there are over our heads thousands of
stars 50 distant that if the news of the
discovery OF America by Columbus had
been circulated far and wide through
out the universe by the instrumentality
Of the telegraph these thousands Of
stars are elevated into boundless space
at an altitude SO stupendouS that the
announcement would not yet have
reached them. Many stars are only
known to us by the impression they
made on Photographic plate. Many
Of these are so far from this earth that
If the tidings Of the first Christmas at
Bethlehem, 1894 years ago, had been
disseminated through the universe by
the electric current, all the seconds
which have elapsed in the 1894 years
of our present era would not have suf.
feed for the journey.

Revenue from Electric Heating.

An electrical journal calls attention
to the fact that Ottawa, Can, has
proved itself one of the most progress
sive utilizers Of electricity on this
continent. The running of $1,000 lights
in city of 10000 inhabitants speaks
volumes. and it is doubtful whether
any other city in the world can APP
proach such figures But even more
interesting is an item in the report
of the local central station, just pre-
sented, showing an income of S42l
from heaters. This is new item in
similar balance sheets. Although the
amount Is small, it Is much larger
than the motor account used ordin-
arily To be, and as 1t involved only
an outlay Of S12, it is sound, as well
as promising business.

The New Maxim Gun.

The new Maxim gun is one Of the
most terrible weapons known to man.
In appearance 1t is a mere toy. 1t can
fire 900 shots per minute, so that IL
every man Of a regiment were sup
piled with it 100000 shots could be
fired in an hour, each bullet being
capable Of piercing 40 inches Of oak.
If even small percentage of the bull
lets did their deadly work, war on a
large scale would be impossible, and
armies would cease TO meet. So long
as the trigger is held back the gun
will fire automatically as long as am-
munition is supplied. When the trig-
ger is released the firing ceases. The
gun can be numbered and firing
within SO seconds Of the giving Of the
word of command. 1t will prove OF
special value in mountainous coun-
try, where a few well-placed guns
would wipe out an army. 1t is no ex-
aggeration to say that 100 men armed
with the gun could NOW down 10,-
coo cavalrymen with ease. The posi-
bilities of the machine seem unlimited,
and it's extraordinary effectiveness is
well conveyed by military expert,
who was present at the last test Of the
gun. He says: at is the most deadly
instrument Of war | have ever seen.
1 have been told it was only toy.
whereas it's accuracy and reliability
are simply appalling Each bullet
will pierce the bodies Of six men, and
It's muzzle can be moved like the end
of garden hose.

right to renew the motion later on.

Repairing Ocean Cables.

The repairing Of ocean cables is very
often ticklish work. The recognized
mode of procedure when a fault has
been discovered is for the repairing
steamer to proceed where the fault has
been located, put down Il mark buoy,
let down her graphing hooks and be-
gin fishing for the cable. The cable Is
not always there. 1t has a way OF
drifting out of its line of position, and
cases are known in which it has moved
eleven miles from where 1t was laid
down. Last summer two repairing
ships were trying for four months to
repair a certain cable that was lying
in deep water. The bill for their fail
ure was 100000, not counting the cost
of cable hacked TO pieces in the en-
deavOr to recover ii. The difficulty of
the task can be appreciated when 1t is
stated that the cable was lying at a
depth of 2,597 fathOms, or nearly three
miles. AS soon rs the ships were with
drawn, the Nina, a ship of about half
their size, went to the spot and straight
way repaired the cable. The same ship
has a record Of 10 repairs during the
last ten years, without a single failure.
All this time she was under the COM
mand of Capt. Trott, a veteran sub
marine telegraph man, so that the in-
ference may be fairly drawn that in
cable repairing, as in SO many other
things, there is Il great deal in knowing
how.

Chicago, July 27-"Go 1t. husband; go
1t, bear, seemed to be the motto in the
Illinois club to-day. The audience at the
Horn Harvey controversy appeared to be
rapidly developing the feeling Of the West
ern matron whose fighting enthusiasm on
an exciting occasion overcame her other
emotions. The husband and the grizzly re.
ferred TO could hardly have attempted more
thoroughly to rip each other up the back
and elsewhere than did Messrs. Horn and
Harvey this afternoon.
Mr.. Horr opened the discussion. He be-
gan by saying that the 41212 grain silver
| dollars coined between the years 1853 and
| 1873 were all coined at the Philadelphia
mint and from foreign silver coins which
hal accumulated in the treasury under an
act Of congress which made them receiv-
| able but did not permit them to be paid
| out again. That was why silver was coined
at less than its bullion value After 1853
| the government did not coin a dollar OF
our silver for private owners.
| Mr. Harvey, in reply, denied the state
ment and declared that he could prove 1t.
| He presented mint statement showing
| that over S4OO, 900 in silver dollars had been
| coined at the mint at Carson City, New,
| In 1870 Mr.. Harvey then resumed the dis
| Cussion OF the question OF primary ana
| credit money. he said that as soon as there
| was an over-issue Of credit money 1t caused
| QlStruSt Oh tue " pay
| This caused run on the treasury Tor the
| redemption of credit money, and the only
| remedy was to either increase the amount
| Of primary money or decrease the amount
| OF credit money. The amount or gold In
| the United States was estimated at from
| $500 OOO, 900 to 5000 10000 and Of our credit
money about $1,000, 100000. This was too
| much credit money. he said and accounted
! for the country's financial arrangement.
The remedy was to increase the primary by
| remonetizing silver. Every moments deIay
| would endanger the safety OF the republic.
| Difference in Figures.
Mr. Horn. replying, called attention 10
| misstatement of the coinage at the carson
| City mint. Instead OF $4l2 492, the ac:--'
| amount was Sl2.492
| Mr. Harvey said that he had mistaken the
| 5 mark for figure and admitted us
| error.
Mr. Horr continued by saying that up to
! the present Mr.. Harvey had not SAID
| single word In proof of the actual subject
| In dispute. He had argued at length that
| the act Of 1873 was conceived in sin ana
brought forth In corruption, but he had not
brought any proof of 1t and could not; IL
| did not exist History showed that Varla-
| ton of a fraction of per cent between the
| commercial and legal ratio between gosd
| and silver always drove the dearer nletai
| out Of the market. Now, with difference
| Of 30 per cent, what evidence was there
| that concensus of the civilized nations
| England eXcepted-cOuld bring them TO
parity; much less. how could the United
| States alone do II. Mr.. Horr declared that
| Mr. Harveys object was not 50 much to
