ON the "Shoe Towns"


Most of the shoe factories are now fair
ly well employed. and manufacturers evil
dently have confidence that the improve
ment in business is to increase. as they
are buying supplies more freely. The
prices of footwear show little change,
but the advance asked is more cheerfully
paid by the jobbers. The sales of leather
show an increase. and values are main

rocco report an increased trade, and on
some grades the demand is lively. Shoe

Business Barometers All Favor,b,e

d e.
The return of prosperity is what every
body is now looking for, and there are
few better indications of this return from
local standpoint than the appearance
from day to day of the hotel registers. The
wholesale houses in the larger cities never
send out their commercial travellers until
they are satisfied that the retail dealers
want goods, and in stringent times retail
merchants do not purchase more goods
than they are hopeful of selling. For sew
eral weeks past q member of The Leader
staff who calls at each of the local hotels
daily has noticed a perceptible increase
in the arrivals. Hotel registers while n
good criterion in the matter of business
prosperity, are not the only indications. If

More men are employed about Pittsburg
at present than have been the past year.
Despite the depression III prices. owing
to the dissolution of manufacturers and
jobbers organizations, each seems TO bend
more earnestly to the task of doing it's
share to improve conditions. Never in
the history Of labor have the workmen
been SO reasonable. The iron and steel
industry have had their share of pros
perity and gloom. Investors and manu-
facturers are confident that times will i'm
prove.-Pittsburg Gazette Qnd.).

Climbing Slowly but percentiblv.

1t is the old story of slowly climbing
very steep hill. Though steadily in
creasing," says Dun's Review, business
still is much below its volume in former
years of prosperity" In 1892 we were
upon pinnacle whence we surveyed the
world and counted the greater part as
tributary to our prosperity. We made
one stupendous blunder. and almost in
stantly fell into slough of dependency
and adversely. 1t will take time and
labor and favorable circumstance to re-
gain our former position of supremacy.
But we are climbing upward, slowly. it
is true, but nevertheless perceptibly.-

FREE CURE FOR MEN.
A Michigan Man Offers to Send His
Discovery Free.
Claims TO Be 4 BenefactOr To
Weakened Mankind.

There is always more or less sus-
picion attached to anything that is Of
fered free but sometimes a man so
overflows with generosity that he can
not rest until his discovery is known
to the world, in order that his fellow
men may profit by what he has dis
covered. 1t is upon this pricipal that
a resident of Kalamazoo, Mich, de-
sires to send free to mankind a pre-
Scription which will cure them of any
form of nervous debility; relieves
them of all the doubt and uncertain
ty which such men are peculiarly La
BILE to and restores the organs to nat
ural size and vigor. AS it costs moth
ing to try the experiment it would
seem that any man, suffering with the
nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize
what might be the final result, ought
to be deeply interested in a remedy
which will restore them 70 health,
strength and vigor, without which
they continue to live an existence Of
untold misery. AS, the remedy in
question was the result of many years
research as to what combination
would be peculiarly effective in restor.
ing to men the strength they need, II
would seem that ali men suffering
with any form Of nervous weakness
ought to write for such a remedy al
once. A request to FL. g. Olds, Box
174S Kalamazoo, Mich, stating that you
are not sending for the prescription
out Of idle curiosity, but that you wish
to make use of the medicine by giving
it trial, will be answered promptly
and without evidence as to where in
formation came from
The prescription is sent free, and al
though some may wonder how Mr.
Odds can afford to give away his dis
covery, there is no doubt about tn,
offer being genuine. Cut this out anC
send TO Mr.. Odds so that he ma!
know how you came to write him.

WHAT is THIS DISEASE CALLED
DYSPEPSIA?

Like a thief at night, 1t steals in upon
us unawares. The patients have pains
about the chest and sides, and some
times in the back. They feel dull and
sleepy; the mouth has a bad taste,
especially in the morning. A sort of
sticky slime collects about the teeth.
The appetite is poor. There is feel
ing like a heavy load on the stomach;
sometimes a faint, all-gone sensation
at the pit of the stomach which food
does not satisfy. Eyes are sunken,
the hands and feet become cold and
feel clammy. After a while cough
sets in, at first dry, but after a few
months it is attened with a greenish
colored expectoration. The patient
feels tired all the while, and sleep does
not seem to afford any rest. After a
time he becomes nervous, irritable and
gloomy, and has evil forebodings.
There is a giddiness, a sort of whirl-
ing sensation in the head when rising
up suddenly. The bowels become CO.'S
tive; the skin is dry and hot at times;
the blood becomes thick and stagnant;
the whites of the eyes become tinged
with yellow; the urine is scanty and
high colored, depositing a sediment af-
ter standing. There is frequently a
splitting up of the food, sometimes
with a sour taste and sometimes with
a sweetish taste; this is frequently at
tended with palpitation of the heart;
the vision becomes impaired with spots
before the eyes; there is a feeling of
great prostration and weakness. All
of these symptoms are in turn present.
1t is thought that nearly one-third of
our population has this disease in some
of its varied forms. 1t has been
found that medical men have mistak-
en- the nature of this disease. Some
have treated it for a liver complaint,
some for dyspepsia, others for kidney
disease, ETC., ETC., but none of the va
rious kinds of treatment have been
attended with success.
Now, the Shaker Digestive Cordial
causes the food eaten to be digested.
This will cause an appetite for more
food and this being digested will re-
suit in an increase of strength, an in
crease of flesh and an increase of
nerve power.
The tired, weary feeling will give
way to vigor and courage. The pale,
thin and emaciated will recover their
color and plumpness, because red blood
and fat are the result of properly di-
gested food.
A ten cent trial bottle will produce
a result. Its good effect will be real
lied at once. You will not have to
take a dozen bottels 70 find out if it
is doing you any good. Try it, and
then give praise to the Shakers, of Mt.
Lebanon, New York, for the relief that
you obtain.

FAvoRs A NEW COURT HOUSE.

Pearsall, Texas, Jan. 2O-Special.-
A slow but steady rain began falling
here at an early hour this morning and
has continued all day. 1t is falling
much heavier this evening and prom
ises to be the best rain that has fallen
here for some time past. 1t greatly
brightens the prospects for good crops
this year. Up to now it has been so
dry that the farmers have been unable
to prepare their ground for this years
crop bdt has come in ample time to in
sure a good crop this year.
The Social Debating club met last
night and discussed the question set
for that night: Resolved that Frio
county should have a new court
house" The argument on both sides
was good and worthy of consideration.
The judges decided in favor of the af-
hrmative side. A good crowd was
present in fact it was larger than that
OF any OF the previous meetings.

Bill to Provide a Lumber Commission
For Texas, Being Framed.

Bill to Provide Lumber Commission
For Texas, Being Framed.
Houston, Tex, Jan. 2O.-(SpeciaD-
The Texas and Louisiana lumber
Manufacturers association held a
meeting here yesterday at which the
interests of Texas lumber men in the
new tariff bill being passed were dis
cusSed. but no decisive action was
taken. Another matter which will be
of much interest to lumbermen, and If
it goes through, will provide some eX-
pert lumber men with good jobs. The
growth of shipments through Sabine
Pass and many controversies which
have arisen between the shippers and
foreign conSigners, has caused the
lumbermen to sense of the necessity OF
a state lumber commission to provide
for the inspection of lumber previous
TO its shipment. There are such COM
missions in the states of Florida and
Alabama. A committee consisting of
G. Bedell Moore, G.. II. Mallahn and
Chester Brown was appointed to in
vestigate the law in those states and
report at the next meeting to be held
on February %. Then. if the plan is
adopted a committee will be appointed
| to draft a bill and present the same
/ to the legislature Immediately. The
l idea of the bill is to empower the gov
ernor to appoint commission of three
| expert lumbermen who are to serve
| without compensation. This commits
sion is to examine applicants for in
spectorships, and if found competent.
/ to issue to them licenses as official
lumber inspectors. The inspector are
to be employed at the expense OF the
shipper and their certificates will
stand between the consignor and I'M
just complaints.
