LUMBER AT DULUTH.

Duluth News Tribune: The
shipments of lumber f, ON the head
of the lakes docks for the season
Of navigation Of 1897 exceed d
those If the season of 1895 by 3d.
OOO, coo feet. The exact figures
are now known, having been col.
lected by G. H. Bradley & Co., &C.
cording to their. custom every fall.
The season Of navigation for lum.
her shipments is practically closed
and all that will go forward IS
known to the lumber brokers' and
shippers generally.
The lumber figures this yeav
make interesting reading. The
splendid increase in lumber sales
and shipments this season as com.
pared with last year is recognized
to Be due to the beneficient effects
of the Dingley bill, carrying with
| it protection to American lumber.
The law did not become effective
IN time to exercise this year the
full benefits that are possible and
the Canadians anticipated the pas.
sing of the bill by flooding the
eastern markets with their pro.
ducts. In spite Of that, however,
there has been an increase of 49,.
OOO, 900 feet in the amount Of am.
Der sold and shipped. The increase
of shipments eastward was about
13, 900, 900 feet. The rail ship.
NETS this year are about 25,00O,'
900 feet, liberal and gratifying
increase in that direction as com.
pared with last year. The greatest
encouragement: to be found perhaps
is in the extensive preparations fo'
big cut in the woods the coming
winter in anticipation of an even
better years business in 1898.
The lumber cut by the Duluth
Superior mills for the season just
eaded, it is estimated, was 2S9, OOO,.
OG0 feet. The figures Of Bradley
| & Co. are slightly less than those
furnished the News. Tribune few
days ago before the last mill had
shut down. The cut for the pres.
| emit season was LOG, 900, 900 feet
larger than for 1895, and within
100000 feet Of the big cut Of
1895. The following statement for
three years will be Of interest:
Lumber cut: 1897, 269, 0O0, 600;
1895, 1873, OO0, 900 feet; 1895, $685..
coo, 900 feet.

Revising Chicago Platform.

New York, Aug. 16-The programme
of the Tammany leaders for the COM
ing campaign is known. 1t is thei.
intention to affirm the Chicago plat
form in a revised form. The platform
is to be edited to eliminate portions
which are Objectionable to a certain
class and to emphasize others so as tu
satisfy the clamor Of the anti-cowpora-
ton and anti-monopoly contingent
The mo government by injunction
provision, the clause favoring stricte.
government control of the railroads
the expressions in the platform on the
tariff, the income tax and of sympathy
for the people of Cuba in their struggle
for independence, are to be given
special emphasis.
The Tammany leaders desire to min
imiZe the importance of the money
question as far as possible, believing
that even the most ardent advocates OF
free silver do not pretend to think thaG
its advocacy in a local campaign of the
Character of the coming one will have
any effect. They also think that by
putting extra stress on the other plankS
of the Chicago platform they will pla
cate the ultra a-Bryanites: but whether
they will convince these men, wnu
claim that the silver question is a
local issue, remains to be seen.
The recent statement of Senator
Stewart, that the silver question is
temporarily dead, is heartily indorsed
by the Tammany campaign managers

Get Ria q whAs Makes You sick
and Stay Ria Of 1t.

1t is so simple to be well that we won
der why there are SO many sick people.
Come to think about 1t, must be be-
cause they don't know what's made them
sick.
If they knew that. they could prevent
it. and when they were sick, in some cas-
es cure themselves. But, so long as we
don't take more care of our health, we
shall always be more or less sick.
The simple rules of health are: Keep
clean, take exercise, eat good food, scour
out your stomach.
This last means: Don't tolerate indi-
gestion. Cure 1t with Shaker Digestive
Cordial. A stomach full of undigested,
fermented, putrid food Is the unhealthiest
thing you can think of.
Half our diseases and troubles come
from the poisons of undigested food.
More than half of them could be cured
with Shaker Digestive Cordial.
More than half, because often when We
think We are sick we are only weak, and
a course of nOurishing food digested
without effort by the stomach with the
aid of Shaker Digestive CordiaD would
reinvigorate the whole system and make
us well.
A ten cent trial bottle will prove it. At
druggists.

kers, 30 Reade Street, New York.

EVERY vESTIGE GONE.
No Desire on Part OF Canada to Join State.
Says Minister Davies.

London, Aug. 16.-Mr. Louis H.
Davies, Canadian minister of marine
and fisheries, addressing the London
Chamber of Commerce, today, said
every vestge of feeling in favor of
union with the United States had long
disappeared. Canada, he added, had
nothing to gain thereby.
Continuing, Mr.. Davies warned in
tending emigrants against the tremend-
Gus difficulties of the Klondyke, say
ing they would go there at their own
risk and that the Canadian govern
ment had not advised it. Hundreds
and thousands, he insisted were going
there ill-provided with money or sup
plies and they would die in the passes
before reaching the Klondyke.
Referring to the new United States
tariff, Mr.. Davies said that the Dingley
bill had built up a prohibitive wall
against Canadian trade which the gov
ernment of the Dominion therefore had
resolved to greatly transfer to Great
Britain.

CONCESSIONS TO MINE RS
will Probably Be Granted by Kansas
Operators.

Pittsburg, Kan, Aug. 16.-After a
long conference between the operators
and executive board of the miners of
Cherokee and Crawford counties, ac-
ticn favorable to the men remaining at
work was taken. An agreement max
ing concessions to the miners was
drawn up and each operator in the dis
trict will be asked to sign it, Unless the
operators sign the men declare they
VIII quit work. However, the impress
sion prevails that the operators will
readily agree to the miners demands
The agreement fixes the prices of coal
for the six months commencing Sept
!. at 81 cents per ton, screened lump
over the standard IS screen and 5S for
mine run coal. For the six summer
months the price is fixed at S7h for

A FEW MORE CASES
VI Insanity in Those New York Prisons where
convicts Are Idle.

Albany, n. Y, Aug. 16-The state
prison commission, today, issued sta
tistics showing the number of convicts
confined and employed in the state
prisons and county penitentiaries and
the number that have gone insane since
January l, last, as compared with sim
liar statistics for the first eight months
of 1895. This statement was prepared
in consequence of the reports that in.
sanity was increasing to an alarming
extent in the Kings county pendtentiary
due to the fdleness of prisoners. The
statement shows that there were 3s
cases of insanity, this year, compared
with 81 last year in the state prisons
and 33 this year compared with 20 las,
in the penitentiaries.
In the Kings county penitentiary
there were II cases, but statistics SHOW
there were 16 cases during simila,

ARCHBISHOP kEAMe eRieveo
Because Of the Newspaper Reports Respecting
Mis- Visit 10 America.

Washington. Aug. l6.-Archbishop
Keane, who Is here from Rome, paid a
visit, today, to the Catholic University.
with which he was so long identified as
rector. He was most cordially welcomed
by the faculty and those students remain
ing through the recess. The archbishop
says that his visit to America is in pur-
suance of a purpose expressed before 60
each year, and he expresses regret at the
recent reports to the effect that his COM
ing would inaugurate a controversy be-
tween church factions. He said. today:
There are no factions in the Roman
Catholic church. and | am grieved and
hurt by the publication of sensational
articles, which are utterly without founa-
alton in every way ard which are not
only untrue but are almost indecent. It

posed. to see my friends and TO attend

cannot help expressing my indigna ton
at the unwarranted manner in which so
many of the newspapers have seen tit to
place a different purpose upon it,
Inc archbishop expresses much satis-
faction with his duties in Rome. The
statements that he had been candidate
Tor the archbishopric of New Orleans,
made vacant by the death of Archbishop
iannsen. he explicitly denied. On the
other hand the archbishop has requested
'nat his name be omitted from the list
dominated by the bishops of New Or
leans for the archbishopric and sent to
Rome. Disregardng this request. the
hishops have signified their high regard
FOR Archbishop Keane by placing his
name at the head of the list of three
names from which Rome will make the
hnal selection of successor to Arch
bishop Jannsen. The friends of Arch
bishop keane are sincerely hopeful that
the hnal action will not fall upon him, as
they desire that he shall continue in his
important post at Rome. at least until
Il more northerly archbishopric shall be
open.

DIED FROM possua


| Bristol. VT, Aug. 16.-The autopsy
on the body Of Dora Cushman, the Is.
year-old girl. whose body was found ir
q pasture at Lincoln, yesterday, dis
closed evidence which the physicians
say shows that the deceased was pois-
oned. 1t was also disclosed that the
girl was III delicate condition. Certain
parts of the body have been sent to
Burlington for expert examination
These disclosures together with the
arrest of man who Is wanted as a
witness in the case have caused great
excitement.
The arrest was made late last night.
The man now in custody is William
Brittel, an intimate friend OF Smith
Davis, who disappeared from Lincoln,
yesterday. and whom the police have
been trying to trace since last night.
Brittel, by his own admission, is the
last person who saw the Cushman girl
alive and the police believes he knows
a great deal about the case. He has
been closely questioned and today he
admitted that Davis told him of the
Cushman girls condition and said he
had procured some medicine which
would bring her out of the trouble.
1t was learned further that Brittel
probably acted as messenger between
Davis and the girl, telling the latter
that Davis had the medicine, and that
he would meet her in the woods and
give 1t to her.
1t Is thought the girl then went to
the appointed place and took the dose,
Whatever 1t was, and then either
walked along with Davis to the place
where she fell in the pasture, or after
taking it. died in his presence and wds
dragged to the secluded spot where the
body was found. Many think the latter
theory more likely in view of Davis's
sudden departure.
The authorities have traced the
fugitive as far as Rutland. where he
changed his hat for cap and had his
moustache shaved OFF. 1t is not known
just how he reached Rutland. but ne
bought a ticket from there to Man
chester, n. H. Officials all along the
road between Rutland and the New
Hampshire city have been notified to
watch for Davis.
