Gladness Comes

With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical Ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms Of
sickness are not due TO any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due To the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when You pur-
chase. that YOU have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. IL
afflicted with any actual disease. one
may be commended TO the most slSillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup Of
Figs stands highest and Is most largely
ased and gives most general satisfaction.

SUPPLY AND PRICES.

The silverite is sure that the trou-
BILE with the country is its refusal to
coin silver free and in unlimited
quantities. This is the reason that
the prices of many farm products are
not bringing better price. The sup
ply of the particular product that
happens to brings low price, does
not seem in their estimation to cut
any figure. Mr.. Geo. E. Roberts, of
the Fort Dodge, Iowa, Messenger, who
has made study of prices and the
reason for their increase or decrease,
has furnished the Chicago Times
Herald with some tables relating to
the prices of farm products, which
throw some light on the reason for
high and low prices OF the said pro-
duct independent of the question of
silver. Here is one of them that sheds
theds some light upon the rise and fall
in the nrice of corn:

REV. F. o. HOLMAN.

Rev. +. O. Holman, one of the
brightest and best known Methodist
ministers in the state, died Fri
day morning at the home of his
father-in-law, II. B. Walker, in Min
neapolis, of consumption. 1t was a
threat of pulmonary trouble that
caused Dr. Holman to leave Massa-
chussetts and come west in 1882, in
hopes that he would escape the
ravages Of that archenemy of man
Observation-Disclosures for few
years it seemed that he had succeeded
in overcoming it. But after six years
hard work he again found himself in
danger, and the breaking down Of his
nervous system compelled him to take
a rest, part of the time being in
Europe. In 1890 he returned to Min
nesota and resumed his ministerial
work and was pastor of Hennepln
Ave. M. E. church in Minneapolis,
and during this period became widely
known. But his health was not strong
and in 1894 his condition became SO
serious that his physicians again rec
commended travel. and his life since
then has been one continual fight
against that great foe. DR.. Holman
was man of great ability, theolo-
gical writer of considerable note, and
a fine pulpit orator. He was a most
brilliant conversationalis and seemed
to charm those in his presence by his
brilliancy. He was known by many of
our citizens and greatly loved by all
who came in personal contact with
him, and his early death will be de-
plored by all. He married daughter
of 7. B. Walker in 1898,

A WASHINGTON dispatch states
that negotiations are on foot looking
to the annexation of Hawaii to this
country as territory, and that the
details are so far along that it is
claimed that President Mckinley will
submit the matter to congress before
the adjournment Of the special ses-
sion. 1t is claimed that the scheme
is that Hawaii is to become a terri
tory of the United States, ceding all
of her parts and crown lands to this
government in return for the protec-
tion OF, the United States. 1t is also
proposed that the United States
shall assume the debt of the Hawa-
iian republic to the extent of $4,000
OO0 The question giving the negotia-
tors the greatest trouble, is said to be
that regarding the citizenship of the
Asiatic populace of the islands.
Should they be excluded from citizen
ship it is thought that it would lead
to rupture in the diplomatic rela-
tions with China and Japan. On the
other hand it is hard to see how this
country could treat them differently
than is now done in this country. But
the granting of citizenship to them
wonld virtually be the placing of the
islands in their hands for while at
least.

SILVER WEDDING.
Mr.. and Mrs. G, l.. Holmes Celebrate
Their Twenty.Fifth Wedding
Anniversary.

Friday evening Mr.. and Mrs. G. l..
Holmes celebrated their silver Wed
ding at their pleasant home on Lin
coin street. The rooms were finely
decorated, and between fifty and sixty
of their friends responded to an invi-
tation to be present. The evening
was passed in pleasant social may
Mrs. Walter McBroom treated those
present with couple of selections on
the violin, which were nicely rendered
and greatly enjoyed. Mr.. and Mrs.
Holmes were the recipients of many
fine presents, which are greatly ap-
preciated by them as evidences of the
esteem in which they are held by their
many friends. Among the presents
was a beautiful one from friends in
the east. Delicious refreshments
were served.

WHERE HAVE THEY GAINED?

A week or so ago there was an cleo
tion in Missouri congressional dis
trict to fill vacancy, and the
silverites have been making consider
able fuss over the fact that silverite
was elected to succeed silverite by
majority OF between 5000 and 5000.
They point to it as a sign of how pub
lie sentiment is changing, and they
can see from this the signs that are
going to sweep the country next year
and hand the nation over to the rule
of the 5O-cent dollar.
But they very carefully refrain from
stating that Bryan carried the same
district last fall by over 5000 majority,
carrying eight of the ten counties. and
that one of the counties going to Nc
Kinley gave him only 81 plurality,
while in the recent special election
three of the ten counties went Repub-
publican. Wherein then comes the
great change of public sentiment that
the Popocrats are talking about? 1t
surely does not show up in the special
election in Missouri. 1t did not show
up in Michigan or Rhode Island last
spring. 1t did not show up in the
judicial election in Chicago the other
day when the silverites made an
especial effort to capture the judiciary
of that city and got showed under.
The only crumb of comfort they have
had is the result of few local cleo
tions that turned upon purely local
matters, and wherein the silver ques-
tion was not involved. There is as
yet no Indication that the people of
this country have gone daft and pre-
fer dishonest dollars to honest ones.
The claims of the Populists seem to
contain the same percentage of froth
that they did last year.

1t is thus apparent what ails corn.
The course of the market is consis-
tent with the amount for sale. 1t
went as low in 1890 as in 1896, and by
the way, was as low in March, 1873,
gold value, as in either go or '96.
When there is stock of any grain
in the country which clearly exceeds
the needs of the country up to the
next crop, as there was in 1896, the
market is very sensitive to additions.
So the increase from 1896 to 1897 of
nearly lOO,0OO,0OO bushels to the corn
supply has forced the price below any
previous records. There is no mystery
about it. There is too much corn on
the market, especially in view OF the
fact that two large oat crops have &C
companied the two last corn crops.

BITTER TASTE.
1t Aids in the Detection of UnWhoIe.
S0mes Food.

Daniel Webster in the famous
White trial in Salem, Mass, years ago
declared that murder will out"
This maxim has been found applicable
to many other things besides murder.
Housewives know it to be true when
there is alum in baking powder. A
bitterness in the bread at once be-
trays the alum's presence. 1t can't
conceal it's true nature. The alum
bitterness twill out" and because it
will, physicians, who understand the
harmful effect of alum on the system,
are at loss to know why people con-
tinue to buy baking powders contain
ing it. All baking powders sold for
twenty-five cents pound and less
contain alum. There is surely no
economy in using these cheap powders.
For pure cream of tartar powder, as
DR.. Prices was shown to be at the
Worlds Fair, goes SO much farther
and gives so much better results,
there is no doubt of it's being more
economical in the long run.

BEET SUGAR FACTORY.
Estimate of it's Cost and Opera
ton Submitted to the Board
of Trade.
An Annual Profit of S121 ,45O
Figured Out ON Paper.

President Shoemaker announced to
the board of trade Monday that
the committee on beet sugar factory
had been corresponding with Marilzen
& Fuehrman, of Chicago, architects
and engineers of beet sugar factories,
and had received an estimate of the
cost of constructing and operating
plant. A factory that would handle
800 tons of beets day or 10000 tons
during a season would require 1915, 900
capital, besides twenty acres of land
as site. The fire proof buildings
would cost $4,000, the machinery
$4,000, and $4,000 would be needed
as working capital. Salaries and ex-
penses, including an allowance for
deterioration and six percent interest
on the money invested, would foot up
to $780, 5O. Twenty skilled laborers
would receive $3.50 day, and forty
common laboIers would receive S1.75
a day. General expenses, salaries,
wages, ETC., would amount to S65, 1850.
This list would include technical eX-
pert at $4,000 year, a general man
ager at $4,000, an agricultural expert
at $4,000 a year, and two chemists at
$1,000 for the hundred days and nights
that the factory would be in opera
tion.
In estimating the profit of the fac
tory, basis of 12.7 per cent of yield
of sugar is taken, that being the
average, and sugar at the present
price of 800 ton. The receipts from
sugar are placed at $4,000, from
pulp at $4,000, and che margin on seed
at $4,000, making total receipts of
1852, 900. This leaves a margin of
profit of S121, 45O.
Mr.. Farr said that one of the men,
bers Of the firm had been in the city
and had told him that if all the fac
tories talked of were built they would
not begin to supply the present de-
mand for sugar, not to mention in
creased demand in the future. There
was no danger Of OVERRIDING the beet
sugar business. The tests of Mime
sofa beets showed better than the
tests of Iowa beets.
The special committee to urge the
building of a sidewalk to the Omaha
depot by way of Walnut street was
changed and stands as follows: F. M.
Currier, NJ. B. Haynes and O. W.
Schmidt. This committee will Co
operate with the Commercial club
and probably appear before the coun-
Gil at it's first meeting in July.
The resignation of Geo. T. Barr as
director, owing to his inability to at
tend the meetings, was received and
accepted.
The board adjourned.
