Potomac River Boat.
From the New York Evening Telegram.
DO you know what the national hymn
of this country should be?'' inquired
visitor to the capital of reporter.
The gentleman propounding the question
has travelled extensively in foreign lands
and has been in all parts of his own coun-
try. from Florida to Alaska and between
Maine and California.
The reporter studied a little and then
answered.: Il suppose you mean Down
Upon the Suwanee RiverT
The visitor rubbed his hands delfghtedly.

My Maryland which. by the way, caused
some emotion, and other songs. including
My Bonnie How Can / Bear to Leave
Thee and others. Each one caused few
to chime in but there was no special en-
thusiaSm.
AT last the singers struck up Down
Upon the Suwanee River The effect was
magical. In an instant 1t seemed to me
that everybody on the boat, including my
reserved companion, had Joined In. The
plaintive air fioated over the water to the
Maryland and Virginia shores and was
waited upward in the starlight. When 1t
was finished there was complete silence for
little time. 1 am not an emotional man.

Mrs. C. c. Newcomb of st. Louis finds
herself "a new woman" in the best
sense of the word.
An invalid woman is always a sad
sight-sadder even than that of an invalid
man, because of her greater capacity for
suffering.
Neuralgia, backaches, fits of deprcs sion
and headaches compel her to think or
work with half her brain. while the other
half throbs as if it would 90 to pieces.
There are no more striking examples Of
the great, practical value of Paine's celery
compound than are heard from the lips
of women who have been made well.
Its ability to relieve those ills that seem
to be peculiarly the misfortune of women
is overwhelmingly proven by innumer-
able testimonials from women of the high
est standing in the communities where
they live.

Did you ever stop to think what indi-
gestion really means? 1t means simply
that your stomach is tired. If our legs
are tired, we ride. The horse and the
steam engine do the work. Why not
give your stomach ride; that is, let
something else do its work. All plants
contain digestive principles which do
this. The Shaker Digestive Cordial con-
tains digestive principles and is prepar-
ton designed to rest the stomach. The
Shakers themselves have such unbounded
confidence in it that they have placed 10
cent sample bottles on the market, and it
is said that even so small quantity
proves beneficial in vast majority of
cases. All druggists keep it.
LaXOl is the best medicine for chill
dren. Doctors recommend it in place of
Castor Oil.

SPECIAL SALE,

For a short time druggists will sell the
regular 81 size of Neurotic Pile ointment
for fifty cents. The manufacturers
found that some people were suffering
with piles rather than pay dollar for a
remedy that is guaranteed to cure. Out
of $40 persons that we know of taking
this remedy, there is only one that has
not been completely cured.
William DOYLE of Burlington, Vt, was
completely cured by Neurotic Pile ONT
ment after he had tried four other kinds.
Those who cannot come to my store
should send fifty cents to NeurOtlc Co.
Burlington, Vt, before the price is adj
vanced to 81 again.

ment to cure any case of piles or refund

BOSTON PRODUCE MARKET.
From Wednesdays Boston Journal.


The butter market is steadier than last
week, owing to light receipts, but trade con
tinues extreme ly quiet and no advance can
be obtained. Buyers are more cautious than
usual, and only the finest grades clean up
readily. Fine fresh receipts from Vermont
and New Hampshire creamery sold yester.
day at 20 to 2l cents, and all IN assorted size
tubs cleaned up pretty well. Fine fresh lm1-
tations were in fair demand at Is to Il cents,
and choice ladies at IL to IL cents, out the
supply of these was limited, and common
grades sold much lower. Old ladies rule at
about 10 cents when wanted.
Eggs have been on the decline, under the
influence of increased receipts, and were
sold yesterday at l21s cents, the regular trade
price for the best fresh western.
Beans continue dull and weak, and large
lots are hard to sell at 50 TO 80 cents per
bushcl, including choice marrow pea and
mediums. Extra yellow eyes are quoted at
81 10 to 81 10 for lots as wanted, but carloads
could hardly be placed at 81. Red kidneys
nominally, Sl.l0 to Sl.3O per bushcl.
Low prices continue to be the rlle for
potatoes, and the best Maine hebrons are not
suitable at over 40 cents per Dushcl Other
kinds range from 30 to IS cents. Onions have
been arriving from the West and only very
choice natives command 50 to S32b per bar
rel.
Choice western fowls and chickens are
sci ing little more freely at from to 10
cents per pound, but the frozen stock has not
yet begun to move. Fancy fresh northern
in.
The apple trade is fair, but there is a large
supply here ana II is hard to place consign.

they are no strictly first class. Fancy bald.
wins are worth $l.25 per barrel, but most
coming i'm are not salable at over 60 cents to

Their HObbics.
Every president since the time Of
Washington has had some particular pet
amusement.
As every one knows, George Washing
ton was u great sportsman. His greatest
pleasure was in following tho hounds,
mounted on tiptop hunter. He was an
athlete.in his youth and his love of out
door life continued to the day of his
death. When he was president, his
chief diversion was horseback riding.
He was fond of dancing. too. and regu-
larfy attended the assemblies in the
long room in the City tavern at Alexan-
dria, says the Washington Post.
Thomas jefferson sought relief from
the cares of state in his love for music.
He was a clever performer on the violin
and whiled away many hours saving
away on his beloved fiddle. He had a
taste for mechanical inventions. too,
and some of his happiest moments were
these spent in trying to evolve some la.
Dor saving device.
President Tyler had deep and abid-
ing love for the good American game
OF poker. Surrounded by few chums,
he spent many pleasant evenings draw
ing to, bobtail fiusbes, filling against
four aces and hoisting the full houses.

Of hisi finest fighting cocks. These be
matched against the gamest roosters in

Bulletin.

The past week has been generally
favorable for all farming interests.
The temperature averaged about nor
NAL, but the most favorable feature,
was the warm nights, which were much
needed to hasten the growth OF grain
and vegetable crops. The maximum,
temperatures generally ranged between
80 and 81 degrees and minimum between
81 and 80 degrees. Local showers in
in many localities, greatly benefited
ranges and grain, especially IN those
sections wnere the water supply, for ir' :.
CATION is getting short. Unusual Y
cupious showers fell in Douglas. Elko,
Lander and Or nshy counties.
The condition OF wheat and oats, is
still generally Rooi. although there are a
few localities, principally in Elko county
where these crops will be light.
No grain harvested outside Of Lincoln
and Nye counties. Having is still in
progress, the crops nov being cut in
Guiding meadows. wild hay and the sec-
ond crop Of alfalfa.
In the tropical climate OF Lincoln
county, , the principal crops are all har-
vested, ilmiuling corn and the third
crop oi alfalfa. AMI m-L,ns, grapes and
the second crop figs are ripe.
Kols'ing ears and early apples are
marketable in southern Nye county.
