Just word about advertising. The
publisher of this paper wants all he
can get of it, but he wants to give
value received. Honestly, we would
rather not carry an advertisement for a
Waukegan merchant unless he feels
that it is paying him profit. In short
we do not want an advertisement at
all unless we make it pay. Neither do
we want advertisements to stagnate in
these columns. We solicit frequent
change of copy, and much prefer to
pay the cost of resetting an advertise
ment, land it amounts to consider
able sum, than to have an ad not pay.
If there is anything we can do to make
an advertisement profitable, we want
to do it. Any suggestions either in
preparing an announcement or ar
ranging the makeup, will be gladly
furnished if desired. If any are con-
sidering taking up line of advertis-
ing or making a change in methods or
space, call us up and we will be pleased
to see you at this Office, or at your
place of business. Waukegan Herald.

Catarrh POisons.

Catarrh is capable of changing all
the life giving secretions of the body
into scalding fluids, which destroy and
infame every part they come in con-
tact with. Applications to the places
affected by catarrh can do little good
save to soothe or quiet disagreeable
symptoms. Hence it is that gargles,
sprays, atomizers and inhalants only
serve as temporary relief Any medi-
cine to effect cure must be taken into
the system.
SO long as the irritating secretions
of catarrh continue to be formed so
long will the membranes continue to
be infamed, no matter what treatment
is used. There is but one remedy that
has this most desirable effect, and that
remedy is Pe-ru-na. This remedy
strikes at once to the root of the ca
tarrh by restoring to the capillary YES
sells their healthy elasticity. Pe-ru-na
is not a temporary palliative, but rad
ical cure. Send for DR.. Hartman's
latest book, sent tree for short time.

UNITED STATES CIRCUIT JUDGE W.
III. SEAMAN has declared that the law
passed by the legislature last winter
requiring the labelling of convict made
goods brought from other states to be
sold in Wisconsin is unconstitutional,
Me held that the law Disseminated in
Bayor of Wisconsin convict made goods

FORE void. The struggle to confne the
cOnyict-made goods evil to the smallest
possible bounds seems either to be
poorly managed or is on the wrong

IMPORTERS Of the country had GER
tainly fastened upon everything upon
which they could gain any advantage
in importing before the Dingley law
went into effect. Recent figures issued
by the bureau of statistics at Washing
ton, show that the goods remaining in
bonded warehouses at the end of the
fiscal year 1897 amounted to only
$18, 1877, 723 as against $5l, 454, 342 at a
corresponding date in the preceding
year.

PEOPLE who are inclined to howl
about the damage done ~ by the
Dingley bill would do well to stop and
consider a moment one of the new tn
anstries it bids fair to open up to Wis
cOnsin As direct result of the pas
sage of that bill there is to be large
beet sugar factory built at Mcmillan.
A company has bought up 100000
scFes of land in Jackson and Clark
counties and will put it all to beet
raising and then will manufacture up
the product. The plant is to have a
capacity of 500 tons of beets day
which will turn out about seventy tons
of sugar. The tariff placed on beet
sugar by congress and the exemption
from taxation of all beet sugar property
Tor FIVE years by the state legislature
are doing the business. Democrats
would do we'll to watch for returns
from Mcmillan.

THE people of Kenosha, especially
the workingmen and merchants, don't
appreciate the good time Kenosha has
been enjoying for the past three years,
in comparison with other cities. Dur
ing the time other cities have been at
standstill or going down hill, Keno
sha has been steadily pushing ahead,
thanks to the hard work and progress
iveness of some of our head men, we
all know who they are, it is not neces-
sary to name them. Most of Keno
sha's workingmen have had work, new
factories have been added, popula-
ton has increased about 40 per cent,
there has been hundreds of new houses
put up, mostly by the workingmen. In
fact there are not five other cities in
the United States that can snow the
same amount of progress that Kenosha
can, during the last three years. That
is pretty large statement, but it is a
true one, nevertheless. Let us repeat,
the people don't appreciate it. .

WE clip the following from the st.
Paul Pioneer Press. 1t applies so aptly
to other towns as we'll as st. Paul that
we give it space:
A letter printed elsewhere from
Meylert Bruner, contains suggestions
which should receive the immediate at
tention of every st. Paul manufacturer.
It shows plainly enough that our man
ufacturers have been derelict to their
own interests in the matter of advertis
ing, at least in such ways as will affect
the local trade of st. Paul. 1t gives
good reasons for believing, too, that the
apathy complained of among our citi-
zens in the matter of supporting home
producers is more apparent than real.
They are ready to buy st. Paul prod
ucts if they know what to ask for and
where to get them; but they cannot be
blamed for not putting themselves to
trouble in order to do this-trouble
which st. Paul manufacturers could
readily save them by more diligent ad
vertising. AS for the suggestion that
the Pioneer Press shall print list of
our home manufactures, with the
names of the firms producing them and
the places where they can be had-the
idea is an excellent one; but such list
should appear in our advertising col
umns. and at the expense of the par
ties benefited. We can, in our edi-
torial pages, advocate " home trade"
only in general terms. We can en-
umerate the articles produced in st.
Paul, and we propose giving attention
to these products in further detail from
time to time, but to name the firms
engaged in their manufacture or the
stores where sold is not within our edi-
torial province. Arrangements for that
sort of publicity can be made in our
business department on advantageous
terms.

WITH Mexican dollars only worth 40
cents as compared with American
money, which is upon gold basis, the
Mexican workingman is having hard
time. The report made by the
Trade and Labor Assembly of Chicago
last fall shows that workingmen got
but about one-half as much per day in
Mexico in the silver coin of the coun-
try as the workingmen of the United
States got in our currency on the gold
basis. When it us remembered that
the dollar in which these people are
paid is now worth only 40 cents as
compared with our own l00-cent dollar,
their condition will be seen to be de-
plorable.

which it can be utilized as basis for
currency.

RECENT figures published by the
bureau of statistics show that fully
three fourths of our foreign commerce
is with gold standard countries. OF the
$1,817, 100000 to which our foreign
commerce amounted last year, two
thirds was with European countries,
all of which are upon a gold standard,
while but about 20 per cent. was with
the silver using countries of the world.
This fact of itself should have marked
bearing in the consideration of the
question of whether we should put our
currency upon silver basis.

THE WORK OUTLINED.
MR.. z. P. SNOW TELLS THE SUN
LEADER WHAT WILL BE
DONE.
Much Will be Accomplished at Douglas
Creek, Cooper Hill and in the Grand
.Encampment Districts-The Bright
Prospects for the Season.

Colonel e. p. Snow of the Miners Ma
tional Bureau OF Information of Denver
Is in the city today on his way to the
west, where he will go into the field to
spend the summer in mining operations.
When asked what work has been assign
ed toward the development Of Wyoming
mining properly. Mr.. Snow outlined the
summer operations at different points
and the great amount of activity al
ready noticeable and the capital which
has been secured goes to Show the min
winter.
The country which is probable attract
ing he most attention and which min
ing men have the greatest confidence in
is Grand Encampment. Here assays OF
surface ores have run very nigh and
slight development now unmistakable
richness. Prospectors by the score nave
left Colorado for this district and the
country for Il great distance will soon
be staked out.
Cooper Hill also has attracted miners
and prospectors, and quite a sum OF
money will be expended in this vicinity.
For placer mining the country in the
vicinity OF Independence mountain has
been proven to be very rich. 1t has
been generally admitted for years that
the sandy bottoms in this vicinity con-
tain great wealth but it has been use
less to attempt to mine this kind of gold
without water, Notwithstanding that
sO-called dry methods have been invent
ed. This weighty obstacle is now being
removed and a Colorado syndicate is
building a ditch from a lake in the vi
cinity Of the mountain to the placer
grounds at a cost OF oyer 100000.
Operators of the Rock creek placers
realized quite a sum from their work
last year and with improved machinery
and money in the treasury the promot-
ers anticipate quite a successful season.
Thirty thousand dollars will be used
for development. The first ground to
be extensively improved and worked will
be the noted Douglas placers.
A New York syndicate has purchased
these and will expend a hundred thou
sand dollars during the year. The rep
resentatives of this syndicate have thor
oughly Investigated the country and their
experts, some sent out from England,
made a most favorable report on the
possibilities OF the region. Much ma
chinery is already on the ground and
work has commenced.
The operations at this place and at
other Wyoming points will necessitate
the employment OF a great many men.
The work on the independence ditch
will require 300 men.
While the eyes of mining men have
not been directed near Cheyenne, the
representatives Of investigators have
made regular visits to Silver Crown, and
some property at that camp is now I'M
der negotiation. II the owners will be
liberal in their propositions a deal will
be made and development begun.
