THE BUSINESS OUTDOOR

The present signs are propitious and
improvement in business is reported
from many cities and sections. The
wave of property has not as yet struck
all sections and all communities.
There is growing hope and confidence,
and we must all look for brighter days
ahead. Speculation runs high in wheat
centres. There was a drop of 1 cent
a bushel last week in wheat and again
OF INC a bushel in corn. AS The Mes
senger stated last week so far from
wheat having risen as it should in view
of the great deficiency in Europe in
wheat. as the figures recently publish
ed in The Messenger most conclusively
show, the price ought to be much high
er now, and should ret stop short Of
81 a bushel. Such a lie would prove,
however, very unfortunate for the very
at low rates. There is a rise in sugar,
a considerable rise in -four and other
things will soon go up and touch the
pocket nerve severely.
Last week the SPECTATORS were fight
ing briskly. Wheat went up in one day
s cents and then dropped 8 cents, but
finally rose so as not to lose but l cent
for the week. There is prophecy that
corn will go VI considerably. It may,
for spectators who are rash or conf
dent can do almost anything as to
prices, but they cannot keep them up
a~xtificially for any great length of

A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
ScrofuIous Humors- How a Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. It
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. Ny
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment In his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods %Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned"

You can buy Hoods Sarsaparilla of all
druggists. Be sure to get only Hoods.

REPORTED GAIN FOR A YEAR

That there has been a rise in farm
values this year is no doubt true. It is
by no means confined to wheat. Corn
is higher, and so are some other pro-
ducts Whether the gain is as much
to the farmers as some Of the alleged
experts make it is more than we af-
firm or deny. There have been gains,
we repeat. If the quotations of today
are compared with those of 3rd Sep
TENDER 1896, the gain, the improvement
will be seen. We find in an exchange
the following table. The Jacksonville
Times-Union, a gold paper, says:
THE following table gives a compar-
ison between the prices quoted in the
market reports of The Times-Union
for Saturday, August %, 1896, and Mon
day, August "a, 1897. The price of cot
ton in New York and of grain and
meats in Chicaoo is cix,op.

cot all the agricultural products cot
ton alone has lost"
Did you know that cotton had fallen
in the year? The south needs, all the
help it can get. It has to buy it's bread
in part, and its meat too, we regret to
say, and it is not much helped save in
advance in cotton. It does not sell
much of the articles named above
abroad or in the north save cotton.
Enthusiasts figure away to show how
this reported rise makes richer the
southern farmers, but how many in
the 100 are benefited by the rise in the
above? One paper says the rise in the
above makes the farmers richer by
1924, 900, 900, but how much comes to
the south? It's estimate of loss to the
south in cotton is $25, 900, 600.

Lost the Subject.

a few days ago Rev. DR.. Mcintyre
delivered a lecture in a new theatre at
Washington Ia. says the Chicago
Times Herald 1t was a fine building
and the company which built and op-
Grated it also owned a private electric
plant which lighted it, a large audi
ence was present and the lecturer had
his subject well in hand, when sud
denly every light went out. The the
atre was pitch dark.
A few words from the speaker pre-
vented a panic and the lecture was re-
sumed in the dark Just at the climax
of a fine period the lights suddenly
flashed UP agail, throwing the audi
ence into disorder and disconcerting
the lecturer After a. few minutes of
blinking DR.. Mcintyre settled down to
work again, and was warming up nice
ly when another plunge into darkness
interrupted him.
He was nearing the peroration and
hoped to finish il in the dark without
further interference. Patience" he
said. lis absolutely necessary for sue
cess in the daily affairs of life. Never
lose your temper. 1t is foolish to dis
play such q weakness
Just then the lights flashed up. The
speaker walked to the wings, and,
shaking his fist at a brawny Irishman
who was tanpering with the wires,
cried out in tone which could have
been heard a block away: "Confound
YOU, you idiot! viii You ever have
sense enough TO leave those wires
alone?"
This ended the lecture on Patience .

The Daily Chronicle also attributes
Judge Van Wyck's election to the death
Of Henry George, and to the fact that
the Republican party, though nomin-
ally hostile to Tammany, really de-
ponds for its existence on a secret
working alliance with the sachens who
follow Cookers lead"
While expressing it's regret and dis
appointment at the result the Daily
Chronicle would heartily congratulate
/ the New York reformers and their dis
tinguished standard bearer on the con
duct of a campaign which will be prom
inent in American history.
The Daily News says:
The Republican machine has de-
clined to immediate itself on the matter
of good government. The only chance
for Democracy coming out we'll from
its trial in New York lay in the defeat
! of the party system, but party discl
pine and party loyalty are not easily
broken

THE NEWS IN LONDON.
Van Wyck's Election Attributed to
Death of GEORGE

London, Nov. S.-All the morning pa
pers print special cablegrams from
New York City. giving the result of the
election.
The Times, commenting editorially on
the election of Judge Robert Van Wyck
as the first mayor of Greater New York,
says:
1T is clear that a majority of the
Democrats whom Mr.. George would
have rallied to his standard, drifted
back in the confusion due to his death
to the Tammany camp, while the in
ability of the Republicans and the re-
formers to come to terms have prac-
tically given the game over to the
skilled Tammany machine men.
IF Mr.. Low had been elected an in
teresting experiment would have been
tried, though even any other man than
he might have found himself overcome
by his environments. We know what
use Tammany will make of its victory.
The merchants and bankers, the wise
and cultivated men, the honest and
philanthropic citizens will be as plant
under Cookers domination as the Ital-
ian or Hungarian patriots were under
