FISH COMMISSIONER DELEvAN has
submitted to Governor Drake the
twelfth biennial report of the Iowa
commissioner, covering the years 1896
I. Thereport showsthat many private
and public waters of the state have
been stocked with fish. Between 500
and 600 violaters have been arrested
during the period covered by the report,
whose fines amounted to $6,45S. The
money thus secured went to the school
fund in the localities where prosecutions
occurred. 1t is larger by S45S than the
entire amount appropriated by the leg
islature for the fish commissioner for
the period.

BUSINESS EXTRA LARGE.
Bank Payments Bigger Than in 1902.
Trade News.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'S. Weekly Review of Trade says
Close to its annual holiday the busi-
ness of the year is surprisingly large.
Payments through banks are again 2.5
per cent larger than in 1892, heretofore
the year of greatest prosperity; the pro-
duction of iron and woolens and boots
and shoes is larger than ever before;
exports eclipse all past records, and
failures for two weeks have been the
smallest for corresponding weeks in 5
years.
The treasury report shows steady
incre lse for the first half of December
over previous months, both in customs
and internal revenue and heavy pay
ments to government on Union Pacific
account caused but slight stringency in
money markets, with preparations for
large cancellation of bonds. The most
weighty news of the week is the rise Of
merchandise exports in November to
SIG, $3.50, ,29O, the excess of exports in A
months being 1929, ,2l2, i0l, while in
half of December exports are nearly as
large and imports $2,5OO,OOO smaller
than last year, when the excess of i'm
ports was s5S, S,2O5, 1866 Probably all
records are surpassed by exports this
year, which have been 1914 900, 600 in
eleven months, and the excess over
imports in five months has probably
exceeded $3.50, 100000.
The output of pig iron December l
was the greatest ever known, 226,O24
tons. Bessemer declined in the face of
such production 10 cents and gray forge
% cents at Pittsburg. The demand
was on the whole greater and unusual
structural contracts for the season were
placed.
Wheat is just now the backbone of
foreign relations, and Atlantic exports
in two weeks have been, -four included,
1850, ,942 bushels against 5,4l3,677 last
year, while receipts rose to l2,6O6, 122
bushels against 6,625 1872 last year.
The price gained fraction in spite of
the speculative decline in Chicago.
Corn exports continue to exceed last
years. in two weeks $3.50, 1894 bushels
against 5,O74,625 last year, which is
aparticularly significant feature. The
price rose but fraction and receipts
in two weeks were S,023, ,OO1 bushels
against 5, ,449, ,1S1 last year.
The cotton manufacture is in difficult
ty, due to the production last year
| far in excess of demand and in partial
| transfer of the demand to Southern
mills. The demand for wooden goods
is increasing and some mills are in the
market providing for greater produc-
ton, though most are still waiting, and
the wool market is remarkably dull,
sales at the three chief points being l5-
307, 100 pounds, against 1890, 100
pounds last year. While prices are
said to be held without change, man.
ufacturers are hunting for bargains and
foreign wool in considerable quantity
is coming this way.
Failures for the week have been 329
in the United States, against 3S7 last
year, and % in Canada, against Al last
year.

Catarrh to
Consumption

Catarrh invariably leads to consump-
ton. Growing worse and worse each
winter, those who rely upon the usual
treatment Of sprays, washes and inha1-
ing mixtures find that it is impossible
to check the disease with these local
applications which only reach the sur
face. The offensive discharge increases
all the while, and gets deeper until it is
only question of short time when
the lungs are affected.
The Importance of the proper treat
ment can therefore be readily appre-
ciated. But no good whatever can be
expected from local applications, as
such treatment never did cure Catarrh,
and never will. Being blood disease
of the most obstinate nature, Swift's
Specific (S.S.S.) is the only remedy
which can have the slightest effect upon
Catarrh. 1t is the only blood remedy
that goes down to the bottom of all stub
born diseases which other remedies
cannot reach.
Mrs. Josephine Polhi11, of Due West,
S. c., writes:
az had such a severe case of
Catarrh that 1 lost my hearing in one
ear, and part of the bone in my nose

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with urine
and let 1T stand twenty-fOur hours: a sedi-
ment or settling indicates an unhealthy con-
ditiOn of the Kidneys. When urine stains
linen it is evidence of kidney trouble. Too.
frequent desire to urinate or pain in the
back. is also convincing proof that the kid
neys and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so often
expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-RoOt,
the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish
in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver,
bladder and every part of the urinary pas
sages. 1t corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing il, or bad effects fol-
lowing use of liquor, wine or beer, and over
comes that unpleasant 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. SoBa
by druggists, price fifty cents and one dollar.
