WEEKLY MRAKET LETTER

Chicago, Feb. 13.-Wheat holders who
mad hoped last Saturday that thew had
gone through the worst of their trials
found themselves in new troubles again
touay, May wheat closing out the Chicago
board today about cents lower than Ia q
saturday. Foreign advices have had n
depressing effect on our markets. liver
pool market has been demoralized for Tho
Sn'ire Week. and closes at a loss equiya-
lent to about 3 cents per bushel Tho ex-
port and milling demand for cash wheat
mas been steadily falling off. Thousb
January and February are exnected 10
pe uull months, however, in March and
april the trade revives, and it is onlv
natural that shipments to the continent
should fall off during the mid winter con-
sldering how dependent upon Ei1xine norte
Tor supplies and as this season the United
hihsdom is bidding against western
EUROPE IN the open ports of Romania and
turkey II would indeed be surprising if
terfered with. -
Our exports are holding I'm well oon-
sidering the state of foreign markets for
lhe past month, the total for January
pelhs l4,00O,Q0O bushels and up to the 1otb
oI TINS month they are 575O.00O bushels
AT the present rate of about IL 0O0 O0o
oushels per month our visible sunnlv
now below 5OOOO,000, will begin to lool,
SICK five months from now, with receints
running less than one-half what thew
Ne,e one year ago. We still believe the
spilns months will bring an active and
increasing milling and export demand for
the cash wheat, and with our present 1o,,,
STOCKS in both American and foreign mar

very much higher prices before another

RHEUMATISM.
Distorted Limbs, Swollen joints, Pain,
ful Muscles and Life That
Is Unbearab.e.
Why Continue to Suffer When Relief Is
Within the Reach of All =?

Unlike most complaints which give
timely notice of their visitation, rheuma-
tism Is the most insidious it steals mo,
its victims with the subtlety of robber
not only rendering him helpless, but in,
ficting upon him the most insufferable
agony. Rheumatism is so deceptive in its
character, and assumes such a variety
of pathological phases that even the sk,u-
full physician sometimes fails to distn-
guish between Its acute and chron,o
stages.
Nothing in the realm of therapeutics can
at all compare with electricity as a safe
speedy and permanent means of relief
from rheumatism. IT not only arrests the
ravages of the disease in its Inciplencv
but after it has become firmly seated II
relieves the pain, removes the inaamma-
ton, reduces the swelling and restores the
muscles and joints to their natural sup
pleness. Moreover, when the rheumatic
tendency is properly reduced by electric
treatment, the ordinary danger of recur-
renee is obviated, the system being re-
stored to its normal condition. Rheu-
matte sufferers are kindly referred to the
many testimonials that have been hereto
fore published relating the marvellous
cures performed by DR.. Darrin, after ev
cry other known treatment has failed
Dr. Darrin, who has been so successful
in the cure of rheumatism by electricity
can be consulted free at his offices In the
Auditorium building, Spokane Wash. or
flee hours, 10 a.. m. to p. m. daily. Cir
culars and question blanks sent free to

Altqeld's Exit.

Ex-Gov. John P. Altgeld, of Hi
nois, who was at one tipe among
the most dangerous characters ii
American politics, has lost the grip
and thus ceased to be the ruling
power in the Illinois Democracy
Having been repudiated by his own
party in his own State he can no
longer hope to be recognized as an
important parsonage in national
politics, and his enforced retirement
from the political arena i. signifi.
cant blow to the anarchistic element
which has for some time sought to
gain control of the Democratic party,
and through chat party the reins OF
government. Altgeldism was a
synonym for anarchy, and Altgeld's
reinforcement by the Democratic
State central committee of Illinois
is an intimation of the purpose of
the Democracy of that great COM
mOnwealth to no longer countenance
that destructive element within its
ranks which defies the mandates of
courts and condemns the use of
military force for the preservation
of law and order. The great po-
Htical boss of the sucker State who
disputed the authority of the Presi-
dent of the United States to sustain
the Federal courts, and preserve
property belonging to the general
government from seizure and de
struction by a lawless mob, made a
vigorous effort to retain his position,
but his reckless want of regard for
those principles upon which are
founded conception of the just
rights of others, marked him as one
who should no longer lead, and he
was accordingly sat down upon. He
can no longer dictate in party
councils, unless he shall conclude to
organize a party made up of his
personal following whose members
will acknowledge him as their leader.
This he cannot do with any hope
of achieving success at the polls, but
he may decide to organize such a
party as a means of avenging the
Knockout which he has suffered at
the hands of his late Democratic
associates. He is the anarchists
ideal as a political leader, and that
element viii delight to do him honor
in any capacity in which he can
serve their unrighteous cause.
