prices of commodities generally are
much higher than they are here.
The prices Of imported articles espe-
cially are exorbitantly high in Mexico,
because they have to be paid for abroad
in gold, and the depreciation Of their
money is 30 great that 1t requires near

though our own silver dollar contains
less fine silver than the Mexican dollar,

the government issues the coin On its
own account and has pledged its faith
and credit to keep them asgood as gold,
q pledge that has been faithfully kept

complaints and denunciations Of our
free coinage opponents.
If we are to have FREQ and unlimited
coinage of legal tender silver for the
benefit Of the owners of the bullion, the
value Of our dollar would be no greater
than the intrinsic or commercial value
Of the silver contained in it, and its pur-
chasing power in the markets would be
diminished about one-half, but the

Mexleo's Object Lesson.

Our noighboring republic of Mexico
has the silver standard Of value. gold

blessing TO the laboring man he ought
to be prosperous and happy in that
country. The Mexican dollar contains
S77.17 grains Of pure silver. Or nearly
six grains more than is contained i'll our
dollar, and yet, not being sustained by
monetary system which keeps it at a
parity with geld, it is wcrth only about
80 cents i'll our money. Wages are paid
in silver and are very low in COMPARE

Here is a nice little story. When
the two Princeton students were shot
about a year ago, it was determined
that an immediate operation might
save the life of the one whose case
was worst, and DR.. Bull of New York,
was summoned by telegraph. The
message reached him after midnight.
He went at once to Jersey City and
asked for a special train OF the Penn
sylvania Railroad. The agent said
he must deposit 5000, and promise to
paw any further bill that might be
sent. He did, and got his engine and
car. Some time after he wrote and
asked for his bill. Instead of getting
it. he received back the 5000 that he
had deposited, and a note saying they
could make no charge for a service
done Gin the interest of suffering hui
mainly" Very pretty behavior for a
s.soulless corporation" wasn't it?

RUSSIA'S RELIGION CARS.

The Greek church is becoming
strictly up-to-date. It has had five
church a constructed. These have
penetrated Siberia as far as the road
bed of the New Siberian railroad
which is made to connect the eastern
sea with the Cars dominions when
completed. Each car has two priests,
and is fitted out with all of the para
phernalia of the regulation orthodox
Greek church that is to be seen in v
cry Russian village of any size. The
settlements in Siberia are SO small
and SO widely scattered that it is i'm
practicable to maintain a church for
each settlement. Altogether the five
churches on wheels visit seventy set
Elements a week.
Each settlement knows when the
church car is to arrive, and all the
people are expected to come down to
meet it promptly for the services are
held in the car Immediately after its
arrival. Each car can comfortably
seat thirty or forty people, and two
settlements are visited daily by each
one. Several settlements have more
people than the church can accommo-
date and in such cases the cars make
longer stops to hold two and m
times three services before departing.
The entire length of the road from
st. Petersburg to Vladivostock will
be 5000 miles, of which 3,700 miles are
yet to be constructed. It is in charge
of the most competent engineers in
the world, and no expense is being
spared to make it of an enduing ma
ture.

There are girls and girls.

There are girls and girls. 1t is
scarcely fair to choose from any sta
ton in life and say: "These or those
make the best wives.o Much, very
much depends on the girl herself.
Whether from factory, store or home,
if she has the true woman's heart and
desire to make the home in it's fullest
sense she will fulfill her duties nobly.
Early education, home influence and
environment mould her character,
and if these are all that they should
be in this enlightened age, the expe-
rience gained by working for a liveli-
hood, if put to the right use, makes
easier the new duties in the home. If
the girl who takes upon herself the
vows of a wife, does SO thoughtfully,
conscientiously, she will be a success
no matter what her station. The fact
of her having been a wage-earner
will not unfit her for her new role-it
will aid, not hinder.

Food, undigested, is poison. Digested, it is
life and strength. Millions of us suffer from
indigestion, but we often don't know it. We
think it is something else. Even doctors
often mistake the symptoms.
Pale, thin people, who are overworked, who
need strength, who seem in want of proper
food, should take Shake Digestive Cordial.
1t is astonishing what food will do, when
properly digested.
1t will make you strong, revive you, refresh
you, sustain you, make you fat, restore your

throw off disease and keep you healthy and

ago he was offered a position as assistant
to the chief and surgeon to an expedi-
ton which was to be sent out by the In
terrational chronological Society. but he
declined.
Owing to a heart trouble which began
just after the arduous campaign of two
years ago the doctor was compelled to
withdraw from active newspaper work last
spring, when he went to the Hawaiian
islands, hoping to fully recover his health.
On his return he found that he could not
again take his desk and he spent the sum-
mer doing outdoor work over the state.
The chronological society, in July. offered
him the command Of the expedition, and
as it would take him to the mountains
and give him plenty of outdoor work he ac-
cepted the position, which is not only
pleasant but very remunerative. The ex-
scientists beside the doctor, will leave for
Mexico about November l.
They will proceed Immediately to the
mountains in the state of Chihuahua and
spend six months studying the manners,
customs and habits of the Tarahumari In
dians, who are believed to be the nearest
to the aboriginal cave dwellers now in ex-
istence. The doctor has a commission also
from the state department at Washington
to examine and report upon the labor con-
ditions of Mexico. In addition to his work
for the society he will also contribute ar
ucleS to the Eastern press and to the Nc
Clure magazine. He expects to return
to Kansas City about May l, 1897.

The preliminary hearing of B. F. Gates,
who is charged with the murder of his
cousin, Monroe Bales, at Fifth and Wyan-
dotte streets on the night of October 8,
was concluded yesterday afternoon before
Justice Kruger. Gates was held to the
grand jury on charge of murder in the
second degree, the same as charged in the
information of the prosecuting attorney,
and was admitted to $4,000 bail. furnished
by his brother and cousin.
The evidence of yesterday was mostly
offered by the defense and tended to show
that Bales had often threatened the life
of Gates and that the defendant was al
ways in fear of meeting with disaster at
the hands Of his cousin, the dead man.
Several persons swore that the men had
met during the day of the tragedy and
that Bales had told Gates to his face that
he would kill him before night. The case
will come up for trial at the next term of
the criminal court providing the grand
jury indicts Gates.
