and dull headache, loss of appetite.
heavy, unrefreshing sleep, ringing in
the ears, brown moving specks before

these symptoms at once, but they will
come, one after the other, making the
victim hideously miserable.
The remedy is Peru ma. This

CHICAGO MARKET OCT. III.

The rain for which people have so
long been looking came to-day, but
the break in wheat which had been
predicted as a consequence of the
weather change did not come.
On the contrary the market was in
clined to be strong on it's own account,
and very little speculative fever
would have put it up sharply. As it
was, December opened fraction be-
low the close of Saturday, and after
dropping to 81 made good rally and
seemed to have inherent strength. The
fact is admitted that under no circum-
stances can normal acreage be seed
ed to winter wheat. The drouth has
already accomplished that much.
What more it may do is for the future
to tell. The present rains, so far as
practical results are concerned, mean
nothing. If they are followed, at the
proper times and in proper quantity
by others, the best use can be made of
the opportunity remaining, but it is
impossible that an average amount of
winter wheat shall be- put in the
ground.
By reason of the damage admitted
ly accomplished the friends of wheat
are not anxious to sell their holdings.
Every week makes it more apparent
that there will be periodical buying
all winter by Europe, which gets from
time to time only enough for the actu-
al wants OF a month or so, and there
are many weather chances on the bull
side Of wheat in this country between
how and spring.
Corn is also we'll thought of. Its
position has been bettered by the fact
that there is not as much long specu-
lation In It as there was short time
ago. Schwartz, Dupee & Co., who
have secured extra good advices on
the corn CROP, Say that the damage by
drouth has never been overestimated,

crease from the government estimate

since l wrote last, that there are only

James Clement Ambrose will sp-

under the auspices of the Presbyterian
church. Mr.. Ambrose is humorous
lecturer. AS an ordinary thing a
lecturer does not draw a large house
in Redwood Falls. But with Mr.. Am

ture will be as entertaining as rare
comedy. He is dry looking person,
even dry appearing, but when he gets
before the audience he commences to
make the audience laugh, and it is
kept in continual roar until he draws
the curtain on his own entertainment.

TROUBLE WITH JApS.
But Don't Know What We Want
With Islands.

Miss Anna B. Clapperton, who was
a resident of this vicinity with Mr.. O..
B. Turrell's family several years ago,
and now teacher in Young Ladies'
Seminary at Kohala, Hawaiian Islands,
has recently written letter to friend
of The GAZETTE, touching particularly
upon the alleged troubles between
Japan and the United States over the
Islands. Miss Clapperton is of the
opinion that the trouble has been
greatly exaggerated. She says:
"The trouble with the Japanese
government must have been greatly
exaggerated in the States for we have
hardly given it thought. 1t may
have caused the government officials
considerable uneasiness, but no great
demonstration has been made. If
there we're serious troubles in Homo
lulu people at the coast would know
it almost as soon as we on this island ;
not that it takes so long to get here,
but steamers do not come often. We
hope for annexation early next year,
though cannot see what the United
States wants with these Islands. Next
years sugar crop is a failure, through
want of rain. The rain fall for the
past few years has been very much
less than formerly and now is becom-
ing a serious problem. Without rain
these Islands would be perfect heaps
of lava rock, without vestige of
green. Not only this district has suf-
fered this year, but all of the Islands.
There is an article in Harper's Week
ly of July II by Carl Schurz that is a
good sensible statement of the situa-
toni think.
If the States take the position of
benefactor it is all right, but I fear it
will be rather expensive. They have
so much debt now they don't know
how to provide for it, and when it
comes to providing for four millions
of Hawaii's debt, for her protection

eign element think their hands will
be full. There are only about 1900
white people on the Islands. These
include English, who will never be-
come American citizens, for they are
the rankest kind of Johnny Bulls
Germans and other Europeans, and 6
few Americans or rather descendants
of Americans. How they have man
aged to have their own way is more
than can see. It is a wonder thai
there is any peace, except that the
other nationalities are very submis
sive, not so aggressive as the Ameri
can element. They know what is gooe
for them, and have left nothing un
done to accomplish it. The Reciproci
ty treaty became null two or three
years ago, but no action has been tax

do so. After exhausting every effort
to send it to the papers, l took the let
ter to Consul-General Lee and got him
to wire the state department and re-
quest that the news be given out. Even
after this had been done the censor
still refused to pass my dispatch.
Late Sunday night Mr.. Rea, a New
York newspaperman, returned from the
rebel camp and gave me some additional
details. He said Crosby reached Gen.
Gomezs camp on March 5th under an
escort of cavalry furnished him by the
rebel Lieut.-Gov. Bencomo.
On March 8th the third battle Of Juan
Criollo was fought. After watching
the battle for awhile from safe place.
Crosby joined the rebel cavalry, which
was about to charge with the machete,
and rode with them on the charge. He
carried no arms, and merely wanted to
get near and see the actual fighting. On
the ride he was struck in the forehead
by a bullet and killed instantly.
After the battle Gen. Gomez went to
look at the body and was much moved
by the sight. He had known Capt. Cros-
by before the war and was very fond of
him. Later in that day grave was dug
in a little glade of the woods, and there
the body was buried. Gen. Gomez and
his staff all attended the military ser
vice, a cross was planted on the grave,

INSURED FOR A
MILLION DOLLARS

II YOU long for q talisman which, ac-
cording to an eminent authority, will in
sure your safe return from distant for
eign lands, where perilS of all kind and
degree will beset you, all you have to do
is to take out a life insurance policy for
81 600 900. That is what George w. Van
derbilt did before his departure yester-
day aboard the st. Paul on a round-the-
world hunting voyage, and the interest
ing gossip was current that the policy
was secured as a talisman.
1t appears that Mr.. Vanderbilt made up
his mind that the discussion of the up

and Fifth avenues new pavement We're
not quite exciting enough to keep ono

nuisance Therefore he determined to
become a globe trotter with incidental
incursions into the big game regions of
the countries he should visit. So, taking
his friend, William B. Osgood, into his
confidence, they devised an itinerary
which promises to keep them both awake
during the hours between breakfast and
dinner at least.

club has attractive dangers for the visit

will make Mr. Vanderbilt's talisman
overtime.
Is it to be wondered at, then, that he
provided himself with a million-dollar
policy? 1t is said that one company
took the whole risk, but intends to re-
insure portion of it in one or two other
companies. The policy, it is reported, is
made payable to the Vanderbilt estate,
and is one Of the kind which becomes due

rilial Devotion

Every one is touched by the presi-
dents example of filial devotion, but no
one ought to forget little 12-year- old Jo-
seph Jackson of Kingston, N. Y. The
house was on fire and all the family had
escaped, when it was discovered that the
baby had been left behind. The dis
tracted mother appealed to the bystand-
ers to save her child, but no one dared to
enter the blazing house. Now 12-year-
old boy does not, as rule, care very
much for babies, even when they are
members of the same family as he Is.
1t is not likely that Joseph would have
risked his life for the baby If his mother
had not been there. But he responded
at once to her cry of despair. He ran up
the burning stairs into veritable death
trap, brought out the baby safe and laid
it in his mothers arms. 1t was an act
of pure filial devotion, and he who could
read of it unmoved must have hard
heart.-New York Times.

which was covered by heavy stones to
prevent injury from wild hogs. A fence
will be erected by Gen. Gomez.
I at once wired to Mr.. White, at Key
West, to join me, and on his arrival, we
made strenuous efforts, aided by Gen.
Lee, to secure permission from Gen.
Weyler for me to visit the insurgent
camp to secure Crosby's valuables, and
bring back his body, If that should be
possible All efforts proved vain, how
ever, and so I resolved to go east again,
look up my letter carrier, and commune
cate with Gomez on the subject. Gen.
Lee appointed me his representative to
bring back Crosby's effects, and gave
me written instructions to go and get
them, IL possible. After some search in
various towns, found the carrier, and
sent him with letter to Gomez. Five
days later he brought me an answer
from Major General Garlic, saying that
Gomez would shortly answer my letter,
and another from Col. Dominguez, chief
of Gen. Gomezs staff, enclosing the copy
of a letter already sent to Consul Gen.
eral Lee on the matter, and one from Ce-
lestine Bencomo, Lieutenant Governor
Of the province, giving the details Of
Crosbys death. Bencomo was not at the
scene of action, but obtained particulars
from eye-witnesses.

MEN WILL STRIKE.
Pittsburg Mill Workmen Make an
Emphatic Kick Against Reduc-
tions in Wages and Increased
Trouble Feared.

Pittsburg. Pa, April As an
nounced last night, several mills and
factories made reductions in wages
which were not accepted by the men,
and now it is expected that the United
Labor League. the Amalgamated Asso-
citation Of Iron and Steel Workers,
pattern makers, iron molders union,
and several other organizations will be
drawn into the labor troubles which
will start tomorrow at Oliver Bros,
Tenth street mill. The puddlers have
refused to work at the reduction of
so cents per ton, which goes into effect
in the morning, and the owners will
attempt to start the mill with whatever
men apply. 1t is feared trouble will
follow.
A. NJ. Byers & Co., who made a SINH
lar reduction, have closed their mill
as they had signed with the Anal
gamated to pay $3.50. They will await
the result at divers before deciding
on further action.
The men at Mackintosch & Hemp
hills who have been cut 10 per cent
with an increase in hours, from nine TO
ten. have also decided not to accept,
their special fight being made against
the increase Of hours.
In the endeavor to restore wages to
their former basis it is believed the
several unions the strikers belong to,
will be drawn into the contest as organ
izations.
