bots OF lun OF Kansas for voting for
Bryan and free silver Inst fall and
coming around from so 600 for
Harrison to 1900 majority for
Bryan ia four years time. But
Kansas Is all right after all and is
now the most prosperous state i'm
the Union. Here is what the State
Bank Examiner says IN bis last re
port.
"A most extraordinary financial
condition cXis's i'm Kansas. The
surplus IA the banks Of tile state is
larger than ever previously known.
aud the cash circulation among the
people seems undimiuIshed. The
banks cannot loan their money. and
are worried what to do with the
enormous deposits for which they
are paying 4 per cent. interest.
At This time the people Of this state
are engaged IN moving an enor
nous wheat crop and 50. 600. 600
bushels OF last years corn crop.
and if they do not need cash to
handle such an enormous volume
OF business, the banks arc anxious
TO know what they will need money
for later. The grain is rushing
east rapidly, and all farmers are
making improvements on their
lands, and actually have money to
burn. The situation is ANNOYING
the bankers OF Kansas very much.
The extraordinary situation | at
tribute to the wave or economy the
hard times for the past few years
developed. The farmers were
forced TO get along without Dor.
rowing money, and now they find
1t easy to continue on that line"

Mr.. Charles Glenn, of 1868 Dudley ST.
Cincinnati, is one of the many who
constantly praise S SIS. for giving hun
bacl; his health. He says:
From childhood 1 was afflicted with
a terrible blood disease, and have
taken almost every blood remedy on the
market, but my case was deepseated,,
and one by one they failed. The large,
red blotches increased in size and num-
Der, and soon covered my entire body.
"My parents had me treated by a num-
Der of physicians, but the disease was
too much for them, and after their tenn
porary relief was over, found myself
growing steadily worse. Thus grew
into manhood, handicapped by a terrible
disease, and having tried so many rene
dies without relief, when a friend urged
me to take SIS s. / had little faith in any
medicine. was happy to find, however,
that had at lastgotten the right remedy,
for one bottle of SIS did me so much
good that soon had hopes of being cured.
I continued the remedy, and was cured
completely, the unsightiy spots soon
disappeared, leaving my skin perfectly
clear. My general health was also built
up, and am robust and strong. / be-
feve SIS. will cure the worst case of
blood poison in the world"
SIS. is a real blood remedy, and will
cure the most obstinate cases of Cancer,
Eczema, Catarrh, Scro ,ula, Rheumatism,
Contagious Blood Poison, old sores,
or any disease caused by impure blood.

SPOT WHEAT FIRMLY HELD.

Barley Shows No Change-Trading
Not Very Active-Oats Con-

san FRANCISCO, July 18th.
Wheat is firmly held for spot, but fu-
lures We're lower on the early session, not
withstanding an advance in Chicago Two
full cargoes cleared yesterday for Europe;
a cargo down to-day for Brazil Barley
shows no changes; trading is not very act
i've; receipts are mostly of medium grades;
not much strictly choice Offering; options
are again lower. The entire Corn receipts
to-day were of Eastern goods. No Small
Yellow in first hands. Oats continue quiet,
though firm.
Beans are firm, and some kinds have
been further advanced; a continuation of
the gold fever will help the Bean market
materially; very few Bayos and Buffers
here
The first Royal Isabella Grapes We're re-
ceiVed to-day from Martinez; they brought
75c per basket, four baskets to a crate.
Apricots are doing better in bulk. Canta-
loupes and Nutmegs arrive more freely
and are weak Slow sale for Nectarines.
Butter receipts are heavier and the mar
ket is not as strong as it was for a few
days past; prices are not Quotably lower.
Eggs and Cheese remain unchanged

IDAHO ANTI-GAMBLING LAW.
Supreme Court Decides That the
state Can Not Appeal.

Boise, Dec. 22.-For the second time an
appeal to determine the validity of the
law prohibiting gambling was thrown out
of the supreme court. In an opinion by
Justice Quarles the court held that it had
no jurisdiction in the case of the State
VS.. Ridenbaugh he state having no right
to appeal from the decision in favor of
the defendant. In this case the defen-
dant was tried in the probate court and
sentenced to pay a fine of 5000. The case
was appealed to the district court There
the constitutionality of the law was at
tackled, it being held it was not passed in
accordance with the provisions as con-
strued in the fee bill decision.
Judge Stewart held the act unconstitu-
tional, and the state appealed. The opin-
ion recites section S43, Revised Statutes,
specifying upon what grounds the state
may take an appeal. 1t also quotes sec
ton 8, article 5, of the constitution, which
says;
THE supreme court shall have jurisdic-
ton to review upon appeal any decision
of the district court OF of the Judges
thereof"
1t was shown that there is no statute
authorizing such an appeal. Proceeding,
the opinion quotes from North Carolina
cases, to show that under such provision
of the constitution it is not intended to
give the state authority to appeal from
a judgment in favor of a defendant in
a criminal action. A decision of the SUI
preme court of the United States of the
same tenr is also quoted at length.
