An Ice Locomotive.

Washington, Sept q. - Secretary
Alger is now engaged in an attemmpt
to solve the question how to get sup
plies into the Klondike gold region and
thereby prevent the threatened starva-
ton. The problem has taxed the best
thought of Alger and his brother cabi-
net officers. 1t is believed by Alger
that by means of novel character of
transportation, the gold country may
be penetrated in the midst of the Alas
kan winter. He has opened correspond
ence with a Chicago inventor, who
makes locomotive specially adapted
for use in log camps, but which may be
readily adapted to navigation of the
Yukon when frozen. With these ma
chimes placed on the river it is hoped a
sufficient amount of food can be carried
to relieve all distress.

THREE HAPPY WOMEN
Relieved of Periodic Pain and Backache.

Before using Lydia E. Pmlzham's
Vegetable Compound, my health was
being gradually undermined. 1 suf-
fered untold agony from painful men
situation, backache, pain on top of my
head, and ovarian trouble. The COM
pound entirely cured me.-MRs.
GEORGE WAss, 923 Bank St., Cincin-
natl, o.
"For years had suffered with pain
full menstruation every month. One
day a little book of Mrs. Pinkham's
was thrown into my house, and I
sat right down and read it. I then
got some Of Lydia e. Pinkham's Vcge-
table Compound and Liver Pills. I
can heartily say that to-day feel like
new woman; my monthly suffering
is a thing of the past. shall always
praise the Vegetable Compound for
what it has done for me.-MRs. MAR
eAREr ANDERSON, 363 Lisbon St.,
Lewiston, Me.
Lydia E. Enkham's Vegetable Com
pound has snred me of painful men
situation and backache. The agony
I suffered during menstruation nearly
drove me wild. Now this is all over,
thanks to Mrs. Pinkham's medicine and
advice. "-MRs. CARRIE V. WILLIAMS,
South Mills, N. C.
The great volume of testimony
proves conclusively that Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is a
safe, sure, and almost infallible rem
edy in cases of irregularity, suppressed,
excessive, or painful monthly periods.

CUBA MUST BE FREE.
Minister Woodford Insists That spain
End the War.

Paris, Sept. ga dispatch from
San Sebastian to LIE Temps, this city,
saws that in his interview yesterday
with the Duke of Tetuan, Spanish min
lister for foreign affairs, United States
Minister Woodford did not present any
claim for indemnity, but confined the
interview to statement OF the great
injuries commerce and industry had
suffered in the United States through a
prolongation of the Cuban war.
General Woodford is said to have
added that Secretary Sherman had de-
sired him to declare to the Spanish gov
eminent that it was evidently impos-
sible for Spain to end the rebellion in
reasonable time, and, further, that If
the war was continued, Cuba would be
devastated and of no utility to Spain or
to the Cubans. In conclusion, the
United States minister is reported to
have insisted courteously but firmly
upon the necessity of terminating the
war, declaring if it we're not termin-
ated by the end of October the United
States would feel justified in taking
measures to secure the independence OF
CHba. The Duke of Tetuan, according
to dispatch to LIE Temps, while pro-
testing against the alleged American
"pretensions," said he would reply
officially to the United States MINISTER
when the Spanish court returns to
Madrid.

London, Sept. 21.-The Speaker says
it regards the capture of Victoria de las
Lunas by the Cuban insurgents as be-
ing a salutary lesson, taking the ground
that it gives Spain shock (which it
is hoped will check here in her drift
toward bankruptcy and civil war"
While not expressing sympathy with
the motives, the Speaker ads:
1.-THE United States can find excel
lent reason to intervene whenever she
likes
The Speaker advises Spain to recall
Captain General Weyler and to arrange
terms with the Cubans through the in
termediary of the United States, ex-
pressing the opinion that otherwise
Spain may have greater dangers to face
after the United States congress meets.

Big Telegraph Cable Contract.

The largest telephone cable contract
ever given is reported from st. Louis
as result of the telephone wires being
placed under ground in that city. The
statement that the contract covers $50,
600 feet of cable containing fully l0O,-
900, 900 feet of No. 10 B. & s. copper
wire, 2,000.0 900 pounds of lead casing
and thousands of pounds Of paper
insulation can only be appreciated
by comparisons. Six hundred and
fifty thousand feet equals about
1874 miles, or about the distance
from New York along the coast
to Cape May, or the very end Of New
Jersey. The small wires, if spliced to-
gether, would reach nearly half round
the earth, the total length being 10, 900
miles. One thousand tons of lead
would equal in weight solid prism of
castiron ten feet square and IS feet
high.

Hundred Thousand Dollars.
Pendleton, Sept. 22.-The Pendleton
roller mills, 500 barrels capacity,
owned by W. S. Byers, was destroyed
by fire this morning. The fire is sup
posed to have started in small smut
room in the first story, seen by the
night Waterman, who could not reach
it, so awoke the other employees.
The fire spread very rapidly, and was
seen by the night engineer in the
wooden and securing mill near, who
whistled an alarm. The fire depart
ment soon responded, but by this time
the large building was mass of fame
and nothing could be done except to
save adjoining property.
At one time the $4,000 courthouse
on the block opposite was smoking, but
the mill walls fell in and the fremen
were able to save the courthouse. The
fremen had great difficulty from burst
ing hose, and were handicapped by
large crowd and the excitement of the
people.

and almost ruined. The corrugated iron
warehouse was totally destroyed.
The loss is at least $4,000 half on
the plant and half On wheat, -four and
other property. in the mill elevator
80, 900 bushels of wheat were burned,
and in the stone warehouse $4,000,
bushels of wheat and 1900 barrels of
flour. There was no insurance, save
$4,000 on the mill building and
machinery. The stone warehouse was
supposed to be fireproof, but the intense
heat fired the contents. Only part of
the machinery was running at the time,
cleaning wheat, and no one was awake
in the mill save the night Waterman.
The fire wss due, it is supposed, to
spontaneous combustion.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing, Hopkins 8 Company's Review
of Trade.

Downing, Hopkins & Company's Review
The renewed export demand has been
the dominating factor in the wheat
market during the last week. The for
ward movement of the new crop has
been disappointing both in quantity
and in quality, but has been suf5i-
GENTLY large to warrant the expecta-
ton of fair increase in stocks at CEN
tiers of accumulation. The market is
lacking in speculative support, the vol
ume of speculation having fallen to the
minimum. This serves to emphasize
the legitimacy of the present advance.
There has been no change in crop pros
PEGS in America and we still maintain
that the present crop will be the second
largest raised in the history of this
country From speculative point OF
view the market now possesses two
sides. There is no longer any doubt
that Europe requires all Of our avail
able surplus. We cannot meet this in
creased draft and at the same time re-
plenish our at present depleted reserves
in all positions. But it must be re-
membered that Europe has already
bought largely and that her necessi-
titles are not entirely for the immediate
present but for the entire crop year.
The increasing movement of the new
crop promises to more than Offset the
demand for the time and result in in
creasing stocks.
Corn is king. This has been and is
year of prosperity and advancing
values. 1t is futile to talk of surplus
supplies or the growing crop. The for
mer is unprecedentedly large. The
latter promises to be much smaller than
anticipated, but neither will have but
a temporary influence on values. We
are emerging form a period of depres-
sion and panic. Every other commod-
ity is advancing in value. Corn is
going to participate in the general adj
vance. 1t has been selling too low. 1t
is going to sell higher. The shortage
in the wheat, rye and potato crops of
the world insures the substitution of
corn as food product to an extent
never before known. To argue that
corn is going to sell lower is to main
tain that the panic still exists. Every
one knows better.
