IT IS easy for the advocates of siIve!

IT rs easy for the advocates of silver
to assert that the advance in wheat is
due to shortage in the foreign produc-
ton, but how are they going to account
for the advance in all other farm pro-
ducts? Nearly every production of the
farm has increased in value, while sill
yer has been as steadily falling in
price: The latest farm product to hear
from is cotton seed and cotton-seed
meal, which have advanced very rap
idly of late, southern newspapers
reporting high prices and that every
consignment is eagerly seized by buy
ers. >,. Il

RUSSIA has only exported l43,OOC,-
900 bushels of grain in the first eight
months of the present year, as COM
pared with 16O,0O0,OOO bushels in the
corresponding eight months Of 1896,
and over 2OO,OOO,O0O bushels in the
same length of time in 1855. This
adds to the demand which there will
be for grain from the United States,
and probably widens still further the
breach between wheat and silver,
which no longer go " hand in hand"

ONE DIFFICULTY SETTLED.
The M, R. s. K Electric Road Will Go
Through the College Grounds.


The injunctional proceedings br oght
by the Racine college trustees against
the management of the Milwaukee,
Racine & Kenosha Electric Railway
company, restraining the said COM
pany from laying tracks, poles, etc.,
on Main street in front of the college,
and which is. to come up before Judge
Fish on the 18th of September, will be
dismissed so far as Racine college is
concerned.
It will be remembered that the man
agement of the road desired to run the
tracks through the college grounds,
following along the tracks Of the Chi
cago & Northwestern railroad, but
meetings of the trustees of the college
and management of the road were
held and an agreement could not be
arrived at and all negotiatiocs dropped.
The road then proposed to go around
by way Of Seventeenth and Main
streets .and commenced work on that
line.
Il NOV a. iPOlf liz OOhesAA "a
the college trustees, met the manage
ment OF the road and arrived at sat-
isfactory arrangement, whereby the
road will go through sthe grounds. 1t
will be a continuation of Mead street
through to the city limits, the street to
be sixty feet wide. Of course if the
street is to be declared fopen the city
must make arrangements with the col
lege before it becomes fan authorized
highway.
Beyond the college, ground is owned
by a syndicate, D. G.. Jones being
agent, and it is presumed that the
railway company will satisfactorily
arrange with the owners to pass
through this land.
1t now looks as if the only hitch will
be with the city Of Kenosha. If the
difference can be patched up the road
will be in operation between Racine
and Kenosha early next month.

MILITIAMAN rs FOUND.
After Twenty mine Days the Body of John
Kehm Floats to Shore.

Kehm Floats to Shore.
The body of a man, supposed. to be
that of John Kehm, one of the two
militiamen drowned not long ago in
lake Michigan, was found on the beach
about three miles south of this city this
morning. Capt. Cameron of the life
saving station was notified at once,
and an undertaken and coroner's jury
were summoned.
The body was found by William Nor
rison, who was walking along the
waters edge when his eye detected a
body tossing on the waves, which he
at first took for a log. After watching
it for some time however, he discovered
it was the body OF a man. When it
reached the shore the proper authori-
ties were immediately notified. The
remains were identified as those of the
militiaman who disappeared Aug. 20.
He wore the regulation army trousers,
a black shirt and coat having on the
sleeves the sergeant's stripes. The
body itself was badly decomposed,
having been in the water twenty nine
days. The jury consisted of Messrs.
Henry Timme, Frank Blau, Joseph
Rhode, William Smith, Charles Paul
lex and John Ludwig. The inquest
was held at Justice Slater's Office.
The remains we're taken in charge
by Undertaken Krich baum.

people who claimed to have been cured of
kidney trouble by the use of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People, and thought that
it would do me no harm to give them trial.

began taking them according to directions.
1t may seem strange, but it is fact that
felt the benefit of them almost as soon rs
began to take them. After l had taken a
few pills my urinal discharges became almost
as black as tar and noticed at the same
time that the pain and soreness were leav-
ing my kidneys.
IA few days later the swelling began to 60
out of my ankles, and at the end of five
weeks it had entirely disappeared, taking
with it that terrible scurf which had formed
on the bottoms of my feet and caused me so
much trouble. / continued to gather my

boxes of the pills and have taken none since"
Mr.. McMillen's residence on West Wash
ington street, is more than a mile distant
from his shop, but nearly every day he walks
the entire distance, morning and evening,
and he could not do this if that swelling
still existed.
Mr.. McMillen has no backwardness in talk
ing of the merits of DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

BRADSTREET's, which is one of the
most conservative business publica-
lions in the country, continues to
report remark able development in
manufacturing and business generally
throughout the United States. Its
latest issue shows that the railroads
are so crowded with business as to
require an enormous increase in their
cars for transporting grain and other
products, two roads, whose main offices
are in Ohio, having just ordered 1000
new box cars each. Other Ohio indus
tries also seem to be f1ourishing, the
Cleveland rolling mills announcing
that they are just receiving an order
for 1000 tons of bar steel, to be
exported to Birmingham, England,
and three large cordage mills at Isaia,
Ohio, which have been silent for sew
eral years, being put into operation
with a full force of hands. From other
states there are equally gratifying
reports. The Bridgeton, Pennsylvania,
wooden mills, which have been idle for
nearly three years, announce that they
will resume operations next week; the
Wead paper mills of Malone, New
York, which have been idle for a year
or more, will be reopened at once; the
Industrial World reports the markets
practically bare of foundry pig iron,
owing to the large demand, while the
American Agriculturist reports the
interest on farm loans in the west phe-
nomenally low, having fallen very
much as compared with the rates of
former years. These conditions, when
they are considered in comparison with
those of the corresponding period in
the Cleveland administration, are all
the comment that is needed by way of
justification Of the action of the people
of the United States in last, years
presidential election.

Mr.. BRYAN seems to be about the
only man among the silverites of last
year willing to stand by his flag and
still fight for silver. Chairman Jones
has advised the New York democrats
to abandon it; German has already
done the same thing in Maryland, and
there is a general drift in that direc-
ton. But so long as Bryan can get
ST. 500 speech for orations in favor of
silver he will never pull down the flag.

A FALL of Is cents an ounce in the
value of silver in one year is not en-
couraging to the silver men. Silver
was worth 81 cents an ounce in New
York on September l, 1896, and 81
cents on September l, 1897. At this
rate of decline during the next three
years, there will be nothing left to talk
about in 1900 as far as silver goes.
That there is not much left now is
shown by the fact that the Ohio silver
men are trying to run away from their
platform even now.

The American Agriculturist says,
" While newspaper stories have been
somewhat exaggerated, it isan absolute
fact that the wester farmers financial
condition is wonderfully improved.
During the past three years he has
practised such economy that with a
slight improvement OF wheat prices
last fall and fair values of cattle, sheep
and hogs, the thrifty farmer gradually
reduced his debts. With good prices
this fall, he is indeed paying off the
mortgage. The fall in the interest
rate is as remarkable as the other fea-
lures of the rising tide"

EX-CANDIDATE BRYAN'S six column
argument about wheat and silver and
prices seems to have fallen fat. 1t is
generally commented on by the press
of the country as a fiat failure dis an
" explanation" and so full of inaccura-
cies and false statements as to lower
Mr.. Bryan in the estimation of those
who inclined to believe him at least
honest in his expressions and argu-
ments of last year.

Is 1T a foreign famine" that IS put
ting up the prices of wool too, while
silver is going down? Wool which
sold in September OF 1896 at II cents.a
pound is selling in September of 1897
at 81 cents, an advance of about 60
per. cent; yet silver is falling 20 per
cent. or more meantime. 1t is easy to
cry foreign famine about wheat, but
how are the silver theorists going to
account for wool?

THOSE Ohio spellbinders are now
figuring to see just how much of fall
there has been in silver and how much
advance in wheat since the Ohio dem
ocratic platform was adopted. That
is easy: wheat was worth 80 cents in
New York July l, 1897, and is now
worth $1.05. Silver was worth COL
cents per ounce July LIST, and on Sep
TENDER 1st was worth 51B cents.

WHAT TO DO.

There is comfort in Nthe knowledge
so often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney rem
edY, fulflls every wish in relieving
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, blad-
der and every part Of the urinary pas
sages. 1t corrects inability to hold
urine and scalding pain in passing it,
or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that un-
pleasant necessity of being compelled
to get up many times during the night
to urinate. The mild and the extraor-
binary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing
cases. If you need a medicine you
should have the best. Sold by drug
gists, price fifty cents and one dollar.
You may have a sample bottle and
pamphlet both sent free by mail. Men

Fired Upon Our Flag.

New Orleans, May 12.-The American
steamer Rover, trading between here
and Honduras ports, was fired upon
twice by gunboat of the Nicaraguan
government. Solid shot was used. The
American flag was flying from her peak
at the time the shots were fired. No
previous warning was given her COM
mander of the desire of the gunboat to
overhaul her. Capt. Reed, of the Rover,
left Puerto Cortez, which port was in
possession of the insurgents, on May
6. He sailed for Omoa, seven miles dis
tant. The Lucy b., which had been
fitted up by the Nicaraguan government
as gunboat, gave pursuit, and fired
solid shot after her. The Rover was
headed by Gen. Reyes, who demanded
her papers and afterward searched the
ship from end to end.
