Wool Men Dissatisfied.

4 WASHINGTON, April l7.-Western
Senators, after several conferences,
have reached an agreement to stand
together for important changes in the
wool schedule of the Dingley bill.
The Senators most prominently identi-
fed with the movement are Messrs.
Mantle, Carter. Shoup, Warren and
Burrows. They have not only agreed
upon line of amendments, but have
decided to insist on their inclusion in
the bill. The meetings have also been
attended by many prominent wool
growers. The proposed amendments
are directed mainly to closing the
many loopholes for evasions and fraud
which w men agree abound in the
Dingley, and were also found in the
Mckinley law.

diseases That Our Mothers Thought lncur.h,
Cured by paine's Celery Compound 'e Hcv

It is difficult, almost impossible, to
overestimate the importance Of recent
advances in medicine and surgery.
In surgery there is the application OF
the X-ray in determining complicated
fractures.
In medicine there is the serum-treat-
ment for germ diseases, and moro i'm
portant still, the extended use OF
Paine's celery compound in the treat
ment of the many diseases that arise
from faulty or impaired nervous sys-
tenn.
This class of ailments causes more
suffering and earlier deaths than all
others, and that is why 80 much pub
lie prominence was at once given to
Paine's celery compound when it's dis
covery was first announced by Prof.
Phelps of Dartmouth college.
The rapid and sure way that Paine's
celery compound cures neuralgia, rheu-
matism and nervous debility is marvel
GUS even in the eyes of this wonder
working quarter of the century.
Ancient miracles were contrary to
natural laws, whereas the remarkable
power of Paine's celery compound to
make people we'll, comes from better
understanding of the natural causes of
disease.

as the sympathetic nervous system, "
that knits every part of the body to-
gether and harmonizes all, is under

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER
Downing. Hopkins = company's hesiew
Of Trade.

Dovnfnx. Hopkins = Conpany's Review
The past week has proved an IN
steady one in the wheat markets.
While there has been no weakening IN
the basic position of wheat, and while,
indeed, the position today is stronger
than a week since, the bears have upon
two or three occasions raided the mar
kets and broken prices. To our minds
these fluctuations prove nothing against
the deal. We don't know but prices
will be lower, and are not talking ABOUT
what will be the results, but we write
Of the foundation of the markets, and
dealers must manage the rest. Inc
winter wheat, usually two-thirds OF
the aggregate crop, is depleted TO
smaller remains in farmers hands than
for years. Consumption must soon re-
sort to spring wheat, and that reserve
is undoubtedly small. We are break
ing away slowly from foreign prices
and before harvest it will be home
demand and supply.
According to expert testimony many
of the believers in wheat who have
been watching the upward march OF
values for the past two months have
been rather doubtful of its stability, in
view of the cheapness of other cereals
and their product The fact that corn
has entered the list as competitor for
bread consumption led to halt in the
advance and many traders were greatly
influenced by this circumstance. The
argument is made that -four is being
adulterated to such an extent with corn
meal, and the call for corn meal is in
creasing at such rate that the demand
for cash wheat will gradually become
curtailed, and, with lessening OF the
demand, perforce decline in price.
One writer in discussing this phase OF
the wheat situation asserts that such
use for corn meal and other substitu-
lions for wheat must be only credited
to restricted areas. The theory adj
vanced is that poor people who would
most likely use this adulterated article
as human food do not buy flour, and
hence the first argument falls to the
ground.

Compressed air as motive power for
street railways will in time supersede cleo
trio wires and the trolley. Necessity and
invention make rapid changes, but some
old. sure, unfailing methods will hold good
for all time. The nerves are the electric
wires of the human system, and often
"jangle out of tune" as when neuralgia
slips the trolley of the system and it grinds
and groans with pain. The old motor for
the cure OF pain, St. Jacobs Oil, will
always act as electric influence on the pain
stricken nerves, and will send current of
cure through the disordered wires, and
bring about perfect restoration. Nothing
new can improve upon what is known to be

0ladstone's Advice to Young Men.
Be sure that every one Of you has
his place and vocation on this earth,
and that 1t rests with himself to find 1t.
Do NOT believe those who too lightly
say: Nothing succeeds like success"
Effort, honest, manful, humble effort,
succeeds by It's reflected action, espe-
cially in youth, better than success,
which, indeed, too easily and too early
gained, not seldom serves, like winning
the throw Of the dice, to blind and
stupefy. Get knowledge, all you can.
Be thorough in all you do, and remem-
Der that though ignorance often may be
innocent, pretension is always despica-
BILE. But you, like men, be strong and
exercise your strength. Work onward
and upward, and may the blessing OF
the Most High soothe your cares, clear
your vision, and crown your labors with
reward.
