eau. The promotion of silver In the
United States In 1892 ran UP Ito 6S,50O, 900
nne ounces. Last year. as shown by
Director Presbon's latest estimates, which
will be subject to but slight revision, the
production OF silver In this country was
only 49.500.0O0 ounces. a reduction of H.
100000 ounces. To lUhis extent the mining
sy'ndncate Is running a corner, for 1t has
stopped mining as far as possible, but n
has not Sud ats mines. and experts say
there IS more silver In sight in the west
than ever before. The product Of 1892
could be eQualed in another year without
trouble and with but a small comparative
increase In operating expenses. The coin
age value OF the silver output Of 1892 in
this country. as estimated by the darecto..
OF the mint. was So, ,101 QUO, but the bullion
value AZ 6ala cents per ounce, the average
market price the last year, was only
$50, ,6S,500. Thus, on the basis of the 1892
output. the nine-owuers would I'm one
year make over $lO,OOOOOO by free coinage
at the expense Of the people OF the coun-
try.

(From the San Francisco Argonaut)
I'm the heart Of the great desert OF
the Colorado-which the Southern Pa
cific road traverses-there is an oasis
called Indio, which, in our opinion, Is
the sanitarium of the earth. We be.
lieve, from personal investigation, that
for certain invalids, there Is no spot OF
this planet so favorable"
G. Il. Stewart, NJ. D., writes: "The
purity of the air, and the eternal sun
shine, fill one with wonder and delight.
Nature has accomplished SC
much that there remains but little for
man to do. AS to its possibilities as a
health resort, here is the most per,
feet sunshine, with a temperature al
ways pleasant, perfectly dry soil
for rain is an unknown factor; pure
oxygen, dense atmosphere and pure
water. What more can be desired
1t is the place, above all Others for
lung troubles, and a paradise for rheu.

sufferers who have been cured, have
no hesitancy in recommending this
genial oasis as the haven of the afflict-

LOSS OF FLESH

Is weakening. You cannot af-
ford to fall below your healthy
weight. If you will take Scott's
Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil with
Hypophosphites of Lime and
Soda when your friends first
tell you you are getting thin,
you will quickly restore your
healthy weight and may thereby
prevent serious illness.
Persons have been known to
gain pound a day by taking
an ounce a day of Scott's Emul-
sion. This seems extraordinary;
but it is absolutely true.

THEIR MEMORY STIRRED.
a Benz factor, of Other Years, Being Need
ed Again. Is on Hand for Duty.

A nation threatened with war looks
about for leaders, and naturally, turns It's
eyes to veterans who have fought well IN
previous contests. So people attacked Dy
disease and seeking a remedy. inquire
what has helped them in other years. mo
grip is here again, and in some places mas
assumed a form more malignant tldIi
yer. II will doubtless proWl ABOUT iooh-
ne for victims until the settled weather
# spring.
Now, ii is a matter of medical history
that, when grip was here before IL was
quickly thrown off by bodies that ndI
been strengthened by stimulant OF tHe
highest order of excellence. To hasten
complete recovery after the grip DuIy ;
Pure Malt " hiskey was employed. 4ndt
the same remedy is doing the same soOC'
work to-day appears from letter VIII
ten by MIR. Thomas Barrett, OF Seammoh'
Kansas, who says: ,.A
Having been constantly coughing, WIN
pains running through my body, and be
ing unable to work, ! took two bottles OF
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey; / am onw
able to work. The cough and soreness on
my chest are almost gone.
The cough, headache and soreness or
muscle, following the grip are never
helped by local application Being, signs
off only when the whole system is toned
and stimulated, so that no organ does too
much nor too little. To do this is the mis-
sion of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey.
All who remember how il gave them
clear heads, sound stomachs and a
healthy circulation when they were get
ting over the grip in other seasons, have
Malt and have pointed out to their neigh
bors a way TO avoid misery and loss OF
time. Is not the suggestion worth listen
ing to? go

March 29th and SJth, and matinee on

time here a new satirical comedy, The
Politician. or the Woman's Plank"
As the name of the play indicates, it
deals with politics. 1t is very clever

the character is, of course, a carica-

IN WALL STREET

NEW YORK. Jan. 16 Speculation at the stock exchange was even more quiet than hands: Of this total 26, 300 were Chicago Gas and 20,oQ0 American Sugar. Chicago Gas alone saved the market from utter stagnation. The recent nctlon of Attorney General Ma loney has disturbed small holders, and there is steady dribbling of long stock by this class. A new feature of the trading in this speciality was the selling on sixty days op- tons at 69s4a70, against 7la71h regular. A rumor was current that the pool in the stock has dissolved and that the members had taken up their individual holdings. The general market, while dull was firm, the engagements of gold and the political crisis in Frcnce hav- ing had no influence on the market. Prices, however, were better, especially for New York Central, Illinois Central, Baltimore and Ohio, Lake Shore and the grangers, which moved up anywhere from l2 to I12 per cent. Lake Shore leading. AS rule, the best prlces of the day were current in the last hour of bus {ness. The market closed firm and ss@1Is per cent higher for Lake shore, Northwest, St. Paul, Rock Island and Lackawanna, and A@l per cent lower for the other issues. The bond market was higher.
