 1T. B. Armstrong & Co.,, the popular and well known furniture and house. fitting firm, at S9-97 Orange street, are just now offering some great bargains in bookcases and chiffoniers.

Miss Lucy H. Hitchcock, lecturer de- partment of physical culture, Woman's Christian Temperance Union. Vermont, wrote on May 16 last:
 Tt affords me pleasure to add my testimony with others regarding the healing effects of Paines celery com pound upon an exhausted nervous sys- tem.''
 August F, 1897, she wrote: "As rule I do not endorse medicines. but I be- lieve Paines celery compound to be of a different order from the ordinary medicines. Facts cannot be disputed. I have derived so much benefit from the compound that I am glad to heart fly recommend it, hoping others simi- larly afflicted may be relieved. Any medicine that will relieve suffering hu- manity is a blessing to the world.'
 A blessing to the worldi
 Paine's celery compound has been proven to be the one great remedy that really makes people we'll. This esti- mable woman, whose Christian work is earnestly directed toward the better ment of others, and whose eminence in the w. c. T. U. makes her advice of great value, plainly indorses Paine's celery compound
 The amount of poor health on every hand is something shocking to every one who stops to think Hundreds of men and women in every neighborhoos are to-day carrying about with them a needless load of ailments that thor ough refreshing of their nerves, a put rifying of their blood, more sleep and more regularity in the bodily functions would completely do away with Paine's celery compound will do all this for sick and aiiing men and wo-

A "hearsay" reputation may do for other remedies; Paine's celery com pound is best known from the mouths of men and women whom it has made well,-they are in every city, town and village in the country.
 No one can pass the newspaper bull etins without being reminded by how slight a thread the best of men hold l on to life. The slight ups and downs | in health from which people recover make them forget that there is a limit | to the body's elasticity and endurance. l The habitually exhausted nervous sys- l tenn at last loses it's power of recovery and offers no resistance to disease. | Prevent disease" is the watchword of the best medical thought of to-day. Careful men and women do not wait ! until they are flat on their backs as people once did. The more intelligent part of every community has found out the inestimable benefit to be derived from Paine's celery compound, when one is worn out, nerve-tired and out sorts
 The little ills, the beginning of neu- ralgia and rheumatism the all gone" and tired feelings show the immediate need of purifying the blood and re- freshing the nerves. The direct and
 energetic way Paine's celery compound overcomes sick and nervous headaches,
 dyspepsia and heart troubles, as it
 does all other nervous disorders, has lcompelled the admiration of the medi- ] cal world from the start,
 Headaches, rheumatism, neuralgia, lifeless feelings, and debility, cannot
 persist when intelligently met and cor
 rected by this greatest of nerve and
 brain strengtheners. No remedy ever
 kept the confidence of so large a body of jnuuiring men and women Try it.

 GRAND RAPIDS, MICH.

Admission of Women to the Body Corpor-
 five session-Talk on Mission Work in
 Various Fields by Several Missionaries
 Farewell Address by Dr. ". L. Phillips.
 Thelast days session of the American
 Board meeting was held in the Fly
 perion yesterday morning with the
 newly elected president, Charles M. Lamson, in the chair.
 After the opening exercises and brief
 talks by several missionaries about to
 return to their fields, the committee
 appointed to consider the advisability of admitting women as members of the corporate body reported, but the board decided to put the report over for one year, when it will be discussed one hour
 in executive session at the next meet < ing in Grand Rapids, Mich.
 The committee report, after calling , attention to the various sections of the | charter of the board concludes as fol- 4 lows:
 We, therefore, conclude that the 4 board is entirely and perfectly compe- , tent under it's present charter, without amendment, to proceed to the election { of women as corporate members, should N 1t desire to do so.
 & Finally, in view of these consdera- V tions going to show that, in our judg- q nlent no amendment of the charter is Unnecessary in order to enable the board sjto take such action in this matter as < ssnall seem to it advisable, the present Ncommittee does not feel called upon to Renter into the discussion of the larger itouestion involved, viz: the attempted ssunion of the two boards, or even to ex- f4press any judgment as to the advisa- Ability or advantage of electing women Ato corporate membership. Tine reason ftor this reserve of judgment is per lfectIy evident It is that the womans 9board does not appear to be them Hselves united upon this very important fnlatter. and, as q committee, we could :lnot presume to recommend action up- ,,on what is evidently not yet a settled fl1uestion in the calm judgment of the !lwonlan's board.

Fishing For Tuna, Santa Clara.

The fish ranged from A to 6 feet in
length and from rs to 300 pounds in
weight, judging from their size. Like
wolves they had rushed in from the deep
sea and were moving down the coast,
stampeding a school of smelts and flying
fish and driving them out of the water,
swapping at them and following them
up into the air. Moving on, we found

pom and taken almost every game fish
to be found in American waters, but
from this exhibition of the velocity and
wonderful power of the tuna did not
believe it could be captured with a "a
ounce rod or tarpon outfit. We balted
with large smelt and began trolling
through the school. 1 soon had a strike,
and, while not unused to surprises,

his fine rod jerked from his hands, and

MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.

MINNEAPOLIS, June 30.-Wheat opened
very quiet this morning and ruled very in
active during the greater part of the morning
session. The trade generally appears to have
made up its mind TO leave wheat alone till
something definite is known about the July
deal. The stories which have been circulated
regarding a corner in July have completely
paralyzed trading in wheat both speculativeiy
and for cash, and have had a bad effect on
the -four trade as well. Cautious business
men do not care to make contracts for any
thing while these uncertainties exist. From
the action of the market we should say that
there are no signs of a corner or even a
moderate squeeze. There are undoubtedly
large short interests outstanding, but none
of these shorts appear to be anxious about the
matter. In fact, some have added to their
lines believing that the corner is a myth
and only the product of an imaginative brain
which looks upon the surface and goes no
that shorts in July may have to pay a little
more than ruling prices in order to fill their
contracts during the coming month but it
must be remembered that prices are now sc
under what they were two months ago.
The news of the day not very encourag-
Ing to holders. South Dakota reported rust
but samples of Minnesota grain shown on
change today showed excellent stand, full
of promise if weather proveS favorable from
now on. Beerbohm reports damage to wheat
in Hungary, Roumania and Bulgaria. These
countries produced 255, GEO. 600 blu last year and
any damage done there is of great Importance
July wheat opened at 70%c, against Tic,
gradually declined to 70Ac, gained 1sc, lost
nc by II 80 and by noon held at 70Ac Sep
tember wheat opened at 63c, being 1-16c under
