A man named George Burns, who
will soon walk out of Cook County
(Chicago) hospital, is a living example
of the miracles performed by modern
surgery. He went into the hospital
broken up in bone and body, and when
he leaves the hospital he will carry
with him certificate showing he has
been the victim Of the most remarkable
assortment OF hurts that ever befell q
mortal being. Surgeons report him
broken up as follows:
Loss OF the entire bony vault Of the
skull, the top Of the head being covered
with silver plate.
Five ribs gone from the left side OF
the body, having been removed by sur
geons in an operation.
Heart shifted from its natural posi-
tion to the right side in order to secure
a firm resting place for that organ.
Both legs fractured in two places and
right arm broken twice.
Both elbow joints gone and the
cap Of the right knee twisted around
to the back Of the leg.
Large piece of the breastbone taken
out in the removal Of rifle ball.
Part OF the windpipe missing.
Notwithstanding all that he has gone
through, the Tribune says, Burns Ia
still in a condition to shift for himeeli
and earn bis own living like other
men.

Tariff Bill In the House.

Washington, July 3.-When the tar
if bill reaches the house after it has
passed the senate, it is not probable
that there will be an attempt to oppose
the motion which will be either direct
ed by Chairman Dingley, or By the OPP
Grafton OF special order, to disagree to
the senate amendments and send the
bill to conference. The Republican
leaders will avoid debate. Mr.. Bailey,
the leader Of the minority, said today
he would not oppose motion to get
the bill into conference, provided the
Republicans would agree to reasona-
BILE time for debate when the bill is re-
ported back to the house. He thought
that three or four days for discussion at
that time would be sufficient. The
number of conferees to be appointed on
behalf of the house mas not yet been de-
cided, nor the political division, but
the conferees, as usual, will be the
ranking members OF the committee from
each side. 1t is believed possibly that
there will be seven conferees. The po-
litical division may be five and two, or
four and three. The Republicans of
the house committee. in their ranking
order, are Dingley, chairman, Payne,
Dalzell, Hopkins, Grosvenor. Russell,

rrolley service wi,hou. wire.


The electric trolley system to be intro
duced in Paris in time for the Interna-
tional exposition of 1900 is vastly diff
erent from that commonly employed in
the United States, inasmuch as the
dangerous overhead wires are absolutely
done away with, according to the
Philadelphia Inquirer. The new sys-
tenn is the invention Of the French en-
gineer, Bochet, and, while rather sim
pie, it steers clear Of the objection OF
unsightly obstruction which is usually
raised when overhead wires have to go
up. Bochet establishes overhead con-
facts from electric lamposts belonging
to the city, the distance between posts
being somewhat smaller than the
length Of the electric train, consisting
OF two or three cars, so that contact is
always assured at one point at least.
Through flexible points of contact sus-
pended from each electric post along the
proposed line the current will be taken
up by means Of copper rail fastened
along the edge OF the roof OF the car not
less than IA or l5 feet from the ground.
The contact point will slide along that
copper rail and there is not the slightest
difficulty in establishing continuous
current if the points of contact are
made sufficiently elastic. The current
is allowed to return to the power sta
tion through the track of the line. as
usual. This system offers all the bene-
fits of the overhead as we'll as Of the
underground system without any Of
their shortcomings.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing, Hopkins 3 company's Review
of Trade.


Considerable activity has been noted
In July wheat during the past week,
owing to the fear of manipulation by
the elevator men. Stocks Of wheat in
Chicago are now down to 5000, 900
bushels, and this is firmly held by men
who believe in higher prices for spot
wheat during the next 80 days. There
has been little doing in other options,
although September wheat has gained
two cents. The news has been some
what conflicting in many respects, re-
ports of harvesting from the Southwest
tending to somewhat dishearten hold
ers, while the news in other respects
was bullish in tone, and indicated y
good demand for cash wheat. Receipts
have fallen off sharply in the North
west, and everything indicates that
from now on until the next crop moves,
but little will be received. Foreign
crop news has been bullish in tone,
European advices confirming the re-
ported damage to the Roumanian and
Bulgarian crop OF 25 per cent. Condi-
tions of India have improved but little.
Russian reports continue to speak of
damage to wheat in certain sections,
while in France there has been only q
slight improvement. Exports have
shown moderate decrease under those
Of the previous week. Bradstreet's re-
ports them at 2, l56, 600 bushels, while
ocean passage decreased ,440, 900 bush
els. Our visible supply decreased
l,S79,O00 bushels, and is now down
to Is, 794, 900 bushels, the smallest
in many years. Were there any
speculation we would see higher prices
at once, but the market is in a rut and
so narrow that it is at present con-
4 trolled by few professionals who are
scalping for small profits. While the
present dullness lasts, we hardly look
for bull market, but our supplies are
getting SO low that the short side is
very dangerous to be on, and we advise
our friends to buy wheat on the little
breaks at present, and be satisfied with
small profits until speculation reviyes,
or there is material change in the
situation.

General Breaking Up of Party Lines ON
Both Sides of the Chamber-The Bin
Now Practically Completed.
Washington, July 3.--The finance
committee suffered several unexpected
reyerses during the progress of the tar
iff bill debate today, being defeated on
three important votes. Cotton bagging
was placed on the free list, 80 to 20,
and cotton ties also, by vote of 2S to
23. The duty on white pine lumber
was reduced from 50 to 81 per 1000 by
vote of S2 to 81.
The amendment on pine occasioned
the greatest surprise, and led to general
breaking upof party lines on both sides
of the chamber. During the early
stages OF the debate, the duty on lum-
Der, including pine, was placed at 81,
after protracted contest. Today, Tel
Ter returned to the contest, and moved
to place white pine lumber ON the free
list. The amendment was defeated by
close vote of 80 to S3, four Republic
cans-Baker, Carter, Hansbrough and
Quay-joining with the Democrats,
Populists and silver Republicans in
the affirmative, while three Democrats
Bacon, McEnery and Martin-votsd
with the Republicans in the negative.
Following up this close vote, Mantle
moved to reduce the rate on white pine
from 50 to 81, and it was carried by a
majority of one. Two Republican,
Baker and Carter-voted with the
Democrats in the affirmative, aud three
Democrats Bacon, McEnery and Mar
tin-with the Republicans in the mega
tive.
The bill is now completed, with the
exception of the reciprocity section and
some comparatively minor paragraphs.
Much progress was made today in
clearing up detached paragraphs hereto
fore passed over. Only three of these
coal tar, potash and tea-remain, SC
that these items, the reciprocity section
and the brief internal revenue and ad-
ministration provisions are all that re-
main of the bill to be disposed of before
the final vote is taken.

Only One In the world.

So far as obtainable information goes,
Mrs. Louise Jewell Cabel Of East Low
ell, Me-, is the only woman justice of
the peace in the world. Mrs. Cabel
first saw the light of the world 5s years
ago last December. At the tender age
Of ? Il years her devoted parents sent
her to school, her mother having pre-
viously taught the child to read the
Bible. School occupied her attentions
until she was l5 years old, when she
became school teacher. At the age
of "a she was confined to her bed for
three years by illness, and during that
time took up the languages and became
proficient in French and German. For
the six years following convalescence
she averaged 1000 vests year, finally
becoming the bride of Mr.. Cabel. She
finally became interested in prohibi-
tion, and became contributor to score
of magazines and papers, keeping up
that line of work until 1888, when she
was granted commission by Sebastian
S. Marble, then governor of Maine, to
"solemnize marriages, administer oaths
and take acknowledgements of deeds. :"
She then began to do the work of a
pension justice or notary, as they are
called in Maine. She has ridden thou
sands of miles after affidavits for the
soldier and his poorer dependents in
their claims before the pension de-
partment. She does her own house
work all the time. She is now acting
under her third commission. One year
ago last September her husband, who
is an organ and sewing machine vender
was stricken helpless with paralysis.

From the Republican Santa Rosa Cal.
Here is a true story from California:
Some three years ago, James H. Falk-
ner, of Santa Rosa, while prospecting.
discovered quicksilver mine, and
while preparing to work 1t, was alone
on his ranch, far from any one. 1t
was there he was attacked by pneu-
monia, and when found five days after
and carried to his home he was APP
parently dying. He did not die, how
ever, but for over year was in daily
expectancy of death from what was pro-
nounced by nearly all the physicians as
consumption.
At the end of about one year Mr..
Falkner heard that DIR. Williams Pink
Pills were sometimes efficacious in such
maladies as his, and procured some.
The result was astounding, for before
three boxes Of pills had been taken,
the man who had been given over, and
could not walk without assistance.
when he began their use, was working
at his trade. and has ever since been a
hale and hearty man.
These facts are vouched for by such
men as Sheriff Allen, Mr.. q. L. Ma
bley, the city clerk Of Santa Rosa. Mr..
Perry Fits, the well-known lumber
dealer, and many others, and are made
the subject Of quite an extended article
in the Santa Rosa Republican by Mr..
Virgil Moore, the well-known corre-
spondent, who resides near Mr.. Falk-
ner. and was familiar with the whole
circumstances.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain all
the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They are sold in
boxes (never in loose form, by the
dozen or hundredl at 80 cents a box, or
six boxes for 81. so, and may be had Of
all druggists or directly by mail from
DIR. Williams Medicine Co., Schenec-
tady, N. Y.
