The Business Condition.

Nearly all will be astonished 10

ness in the principal cities east of the
Rocky Mountains average only about
10 per cent less than in April 1892,
the year of the largest business
hitherto, and were + per cent more
than in the same month last year.
Yee this is the summary of 35. re-
ports, each covering actual sales OF
leading merchants in line of bust
ness in one of fourteen cities. They
are especially encouraging in view of
the great fall of prices within the
five years and with exceptional floods
and other retarding influences this
year.-Dun's Review of Trade, Sat
urday, May s.
1t is reported that more hardwood
lumber has been sold In this state
during the last month than was dis
posed of during the entire year of
1896. Improvement in the trade
conditions in that commodity is en-
couraging.-Saginaw Dispatch to
Detroit Tribune.
Comment at length on the above
cheering news is entirely unnecessary.
In spite of the fact that the free sill
yer press keeps up its endless howl of
calamity and is doing all in it's power
to retard the revival of business, pros
perity is slowly but surely returning
to this nation. The much abused
coincidence" is getting in its work,
and the bright prospect for the en-
actment of a protective tariff law is
encouraging business enterprises all
along the line.
Of course we don't expect our free
silver contemporaries will accept
Dun's testimony as to the business
condition, but the sober business
sense of the country knows that no
other institution has so good facilities
for feeling the pulse of business, and
that the statement above published
is fair, conservative estimate of the
condition at the present time.

VIZ WANT TO TELL YOU
Why Your Back is Lame-Why ii Aches
and Pains, and How to Cure il.

Do you know what it is to have a back
that is never free from aches and constant
pain, lame back, sore back, an aching
back, in fact, a back that makes your life
a burdenl What have you done for il?
And does it still keep you from the happi-
ness that perfect health brings to all? We
know full well If such is your condition
cure for it will be blessing you no
doubt desire. Plasters won't do it, but
may assist in bringing strength. Eminent
won't do it; for, while it may give tenn
porary relief, it does not reach the cause
The cause, there's the point there's where
to make the attack. Most backaches come
from disordered kidneys, therefore you
must correct their action if you would be
cured. Read the following from ID. ID.

OUR free trade contemporaries are
worried because the proposed tariff
will, they say, raise the prices of
some things the people have to buy.
During the past few years, people
have been learning that ''cheap is
nasty" and that "a cheap coat covers
cheap man." the Interpretation our
democratic friends would put upon
these last words is, of course, insult
ing to the working man who through
necessity wears cheap garment;
but any intelligent man must con-
fess that cheap coat means cheap
commodities of all kinds, hence
cheap labor-which is nothing more
nor less than "cheap man." The
price people pay for commodities is
not SO much consideration as is the
matter Of having that price, and a
way to earn the purchase price of
the next thing desired. \ well paid,
constantly employed Iaborer can
better afford to pay a fair price than
can an unemployed or underpaid
laborer--the cheap man-afrord to
pay low price. a protective tariff
will employ American labor at re-
munerative wages.

Mining Lumbar.

Instead OF going into the woods and
cutting trees and saving them into log
lengths, the lumbermen OF Cape May, In
New Jersey, mine their lumber. Ages
and ages ago a forest Of cedar trees
waved its branches in the breezes about
Cape May. The sea is supposed to
have broken the barrier which separat-
ed 1t from the trees and overturned
them by undermining their roots
Their weight caused them to sink In
the soft muck where they had stood
and the mold OF centuries of leaves
closed over them. One day a man in
passing through the swamp found one
OF the cedar logs and when he had
dug IL out II was as sound as when II
grew hundreds of years before. OF
course It was very valuable as lumber
and from that time on the mining OF
logs has kept a great many men busy
every summer They locate the trees
by plunging a long iron rod into the
soft muck When they have struck
wood they begin digging until the
mine IS laid bare and the logs are then
hauled away TO the sawmill Most OF
the trees are from ten to twelve feet
under ground, but some Of them have
been found as deep as ninety feet
down

Miss Lucy Sherwin (piauist) is from

favorite concert pianist who never fails
to please her audience. Her touch is
most delicate and sympathetic and she
plays with such true artistic feeling
that she at once comm Aud~ the admir-

very missing
Miss Nellie Hodson, dramatic read

She is one Of the finest imperson.
ators in the west and has often been
compared to the famous Madam Char

Miss Florence Flower is a vocalist OF
rare ability aud merit and possesses
one Of the finest voices on the concert
stage.
Miss Flower is lately from Oh ,cago
Conservatory Of Music and Dramatic
Art, and when in Chicago received the
highest praise from botn critics end

critics in Italy, Germany and America
on Miss Flowers voice are omething
most extraordinary as will be seen
when given later
Miss Flower will also sing some of
the latest songs, such as In the Bag
gage Coach Ahead" illustrated by
stereopticon with seventeen slides,
making one of the most fascinating
aud pathetic numbers on the program.
In addition to the above-named ar

How They Dlsrort Themselves In the
Great Maetstrom.


Great Maslstrom.
Alexande Lewis, an old seafaring
man, says that eea serpents similar to
those being exhibited in Tacoma are
very plentiful in north and south polar
waters He tells a very interesting
story. In 1852 he was a seaman on the
American bark Oregon. Captain
Shields. sailing from Antwerp Belg-
ium,, to the Arctic Sea after seals
They passed North Cape. the northern
extremity OF Norway. 100 miles east of
which is the great maelstrOm. the
whirling influence OF which is felt aud
seen al sea a distance OF 100 miles from
the centre. Though the government of
Norway has made careful experiments.
it has been found dangerous for ves-
sells to approach nearer than fifty miles
of the center On the extreme outer
edges OF the maelstrom. Captain Lewis.
says, the crew Of the Oregon saw num-
eroue sea serpents identical with those
on exhibition and ranging from ten to
twenty five feet In length They would
bob out OF the water now and then
alongside OF the ship, a pair Of them
being frequently seen together Ocea-
sionally some Of the sailors put off in
small boat and endeavored to har-
poon one, but they never succeeded.
The serpents were too quick in their
movements. and had such a ierocious
look that the sailors did not care to get
too close to them
Mr. Lewis says that two or three
years later when the Oregon was about
one hundred miles out of the Cattegat.
between Denmark and Sweden, and en-
tering the North Sea, the entire crew
beheld an astonishing sight. It was
sea serpent about three hundred feet
long black in color and with big.
round eyes that seemed the size OF
washtub. Lewis declares. Around each
Of his eyes were three great rings: II
had a dorsal fin extending the entire
length OF the vertehrae. and sharp
tail Lewis thinks this was the great
} est sea serpent ever beheld by man.
When deserted it had it's head fifteen
feet out of the water. and was summing
itself The ship put about and made
straight for him When within about
a quarter Of a mile the serpent went
under. Lewis thinks the serpent was
twenty feet through at its neck He
says the story sounds 80 improbable

sailors, will youch for its truth II alive
