A COWardly Assassination.

Iraputo, Mexico, June 16.-While
William R. McNeel, 17-year-old
American, accompanied by w. R.
Smith, another American, was passing
along the street here early at night, an
unknown Mexican stepped up behind
McNeel and fired a pistol, killing him
instantly. The cause of the murder is
unknown. McNeel had been here only
few weeks studying Spanish. He
was from San Antonio, and was a son
of Captain p. j. McNeel, a well-known
Texas ranger. Nothing has been heard
from the family of the murdered boy,
and the remains will be buried here.

Tho Sex Shun. Publicity ON Their OwH
Weaknesses From Sense Of
False MOdesty.

From the Times, Los Angeles, Cal
Women suffer from certain diseases
peculiar to their sex and usually have
great delicacy in speaking of such ills.
Just why, we cannot say. There would
seem to be no more reason for silence in
such matters than there is about the
ordinary every day ills. Occasionally,
however, a woman of strong sense lie
found, and is an exception to the rule.
Such one is Mrs. Rosie s. Thompson,
of $40 East First street. Los Angeles,
Cal. This is what she says:
''For five or SIX years l was seriously
ill with female complaint. l could
not go about, I suffered intense pain,
and at times was hardly able to raise
myself up in bed. was then living
in San Bernardino and I consulted a
physician who thought he could cure
me. For seven months I was under
his care taking his prescriptions, but
he did me no good at all, and grew
worse instead Of better. Finally tried
another physician and was under his
care for several months, but he did me
no more good than the first one. l
tried all sorts of remedies without any
beneficial effects
"Finally I saw an advertisement of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie, and 1 resolved to try them. l be-
gan taking the pills. The effect was
wonderful. Almost Immediately be-
gan to improve. I have taken these
pills now for six or seven months and
am entirely cured. had previously
tried every sort Of remedy that I could
think of, besides consulting many doc
tors, and nothing helped me until I
took these pills. They are the best
remedy ever used, and the only one
would recommend. am now as we'll
as ever was in my life and have had
no return of my complaint.
II make this statement voluntarily
and in the hope that it may lead others
now suffering as I suffered to try these
pills.
'This statement is given solely with
view to helping others and directing
their attention to the greatest medical
discovery of the age-Dr. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People.

Calhoun, Not General Woodford' Will

Be Minister ut Madrid.
New York, June 16.-A dispatch
from Nashville, Tenn, says that ex-
Commissioner Calhoun, who went to
investigate the Ruiz case and the gen.
eral condition of things in the island OF
Cuba for President Mckinley, is the
man who is most likely to be named
for minister to Madrid, and not Gen
eral Stewart L. Woodford.
Secretary Sherman said today:
'No, General Woodford's name has
not been mentioned to me by the presi-
dent in connection with. the post of
minister to Spain. / know General
Woodford, and he would be an excellent
man for the place, but as understand
it, Mr.. Calhoun, who has just returned
from Cuba, is to be sent to Madrid as
the representative of this country at the
Spanish court. There have been a
good many conflicting reports made in
regard to this mission, owing to its i'm
portance at this time and because the
president has really had in mind several
gentlemen for the place.

New York, June 16.-A dispatch tC
the World from Washington says:
Senator Morgan in an interview last
night said:
81 have information from most re-
liable authority that Cuba is under the
control Of completely organized civil
government, stronger than it was ever
before, and so established that it is i'm
possible now for the Spaniards to over
throw it. The Cubans have, by the
natural resources of that part of the
island in which they are dominant,
sufficient food and supplies to sustain
them to the end. The tactics of Cen
eral Gomez battles the Spaniards effec-
tually.
Sin the meantime the situation is so
grave in Spain that the government is
obliged to keep at home all of its regu-
lar army of trained, seasoned, disci-
plined troops, an army of $4,000 men,
80, 900 of whom might have been land
ed on the island and swept 1t from one
end to the other. But that is now out
of the question. These soldiers are
wanted at home to meet dangers that
are threatening the throne. The Span
ish government is afraid to put in con-
troll a man in accord with it's past
policy.
''It is impossible for me even to con-
lecture what President Mckinley will
do, although am not at all inclined
to impute to him unpatriotic motives.
But whatever this government may
do, am satisfied that this is one revO-
luton which will not 60 backward.
Work has already been accepted and
established which must result in the
independence of Cuba.
''The senate's action defining the re-
lations between Spain and Cuba is q
firm and irrevocable declaration that
there is war in the island of Cuba.
"The administration is subjected to
the pressure of two classes of American
citizens concerning themselves about
purely business matters. One is that
which is said to have between $50, OOO,-
900 and 500, 900, 900 invested in the
island. The other is the class which
In this case, as we'll as In every case
like it, avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity to make money out of the di-
lemmas and distresses of others, which
would have as the basis of Cuban indie
pendence the issuance Of $50, 900, 900
Of bonds, one-half to be devoted to re-
placing the losses sustained by Ameri
cans and the other half to 60 into the
pockets of the bondholders and bond
placers. This government l think is
now in state of contention with these
influences. No matter how earnestly
the president may believe in doing JUS
tice to Cuba or how great his desire to
promote her independence or his zeal
to take care of our people and the
rights of the island, he is handicapped
by the crowd that are only seeking to
make money out of the misfortunes of

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing, Hopkins = Company's Review
Of Trade.

Of Trade.
There was not much trade in wheat
last week but prices were firmer and
the close was 2 cents higher than the
preceding Saturday. 1t is safe to say
that with the statistical situation so
strong as at present, the volume OF gen.
eral trade never was lighter. Specuia-
ton is confined to professional traders
who have been educated up to see
nothing but the short side. However,
there Is another side to the market.
The Orange Judd Farmer makes an
estimate of the prospective yield of
winter and spring wheat, placing it at
515, 200, 900 bushels, somewhat lower
than the former estimates from other
sources. The real stimulus to the mar
ket at present is the unreasonable
weather that has prevailed in the
Northwest for the past two weeks,
and if the wheat crop has recently been
as badly damaged by frost as it is
claimed, we will see a sharp advance
as soon this fact is fully determined.
We are inclined to look for further adj
vance under the prevailing conditions.
Receipts of wheat for eastern shipment
at Duluth have been light, most of the
spring now going to Minneapolis where
there is an extraordinary milling de-
mand. Beerbohm's report estimated
the worlds shipments for the week at
only 5,6O0,0 bushels. The exports
from both coasts of North America were
reported at 1, 800, 900 bushels, compared
with 2, 500, 900 bushels last week, and
2,922, 900 bushels the corresponding
week of last year. The amount on pas
sage to importing countries decreased
in the seven days 100000 bushels.
The American visible supply decreased
1,764, 900 bushels and now totals 49,
686, 900 bushels. A year ago the visi-
BILE decreased only 6730, 90 bushels, and
totaled 494, 800. 900 bushels.
The long expected advance in stocks
is now under full Roadway, and values
have advanced steadily all week, with
scarcely any reaction to speak of.

The AK Ia Swinging.

Washington, June 16.-The effect of
the recent ruling in the posoffice de-
partment order to consider as vacant
all Offices which are due to expire be-
tween now and July 1, was apparent
today when 1913 fourth-class postmas-
tiers were appointed in this administra-
ton. Seventy-two of the vacancies
were created by removals.

No Halfway Policy.

Peru's abandonment of the silver
standard proves to be of the most rad
ical type. Detailed statements of her
action on this subject which have
reaced Washington show that not only
does she make gold the standard of
value but the act goes SO far as to pro-
hihit the importation of silver coin.
Even the product of her own minis
which have gone out of the country
cannot be returned, except at one port,
where it must be melted into bars.
The gold production continues to in
crease both in the regions where mines
were in operation last year and through
the development of new gold fields.
Mr.. Otis S. Gage, formerly of Washing
ton, D. c., who has spent the past two
years in Ecuador, reports the gold fields
of that country surprising in richness
and extent the famous mines of South
Africa" Reports from Mexico repre-
cent that new and very rich gold fields
are being developed there, advices from
Texas indicate that gold mines are be-
ing developed in Wichita mountains,
and while the new processes which
are now being followed in the mines
Of Georgia and North Carolina are
making gold mining in that section
extremely profitable. Present indica-
tions are that the gold production of
1897 will exceed that of 1895, which
was the largest in any year in the his
tory of the world.
