A GOOD THING
For Women to Remember.

That in addressing Mrs. Pinkham they
are communicating with wOman-a wo-
man whose experience in treating woman
ills is greater than that of any living physi-
cian-male or female.
A woman can talk freely to a woman
when it is revolving to relate her private
troubles to man--besides, man does not
understand-simplv because he is a man.
Many women suffer in silence and drift
along from bad to worse, knowing full well
that they should have immediate assist
ance, but natural mOdesty impels them
to shrink from exposing themselves to the
questions and probable examinations of
even their family physician. 1t is unnec-
eSsary. Without money or price you can
consult woman, whose knowledge from
actual experience is greater than any local
physician living.
The following invitation is freely offered
accept it in the same spirit:
Women suffering from any form of fe-
male weakness are invited to freely COM
municate with Mrs Pinkham, at Lynn
Mass. All letters are received, opened.

GONE GLIMMERlNG.

One ripe summer, fresh and fair, has
gone glimmering. What with rain and
breeze and fair sun, the harvest has left rs
grain enough to feed the world, and hard
times are broken by a kindly Hand. But
autumn changes come, and we cannot be
too self-content not to guard against what
autumn brings 1t is the changeful tenn
perature of midday warmth and night and
morning chill, from the dampness Of dews
or vapors cast adrift on eastern winds
With the breath of such comes back to
very many old time physical troubles of
pains and aches, rheumatism, neuralgia,
soreness and stiffness. This is crop not
spoken of in farmers almanac, but it
must be cared for, else it will lay waste and
grow misery. St. Jacobs Oil is reaper
and binder; it reaps the field of pain and
binds up and cures. There is no bodily
pain it won't relieve, and to the whole
group of rheumatic pains, 1t is a certain
and specific cure. Let not the bounties
that have been reaped be marred by misery
and pain st. Jacobs Oil is the helper to
enjoy the better times.

Sugar Beets in New Mexico.

Santa Fe, n. NJ, Oct. 2O.-Industrial
Commissioner Davis, of the Santa Fe
railroad, and party of capitalists are
examining into sngar-beet farms here.
They have found acres of beets weigh
ing from one to six pounds, which, ac-
cording to analysis by the territorial
agricultural college. yield from 5 to IS
per cent sugar. They express surprise
that Rocky mountain valleys above
1000 feet in altitude can show such
results
There is project on foot to erect a
sugar factory here and Commissioner
Davis said his corporation will give it
all possible support. He says also that
it is probable that Eastern capital will
within short time establish a large
sugar factory somewhere in the Cen
trail Rio Grande valley.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.

IOfice Of Downing, Hopkins 4 Co. Chicago cs,s'
merce Building, Portland, Oregon.1
The past week has been very quiet
one in the grain trade, with narrow
fluctuations. Europe took $500, QUO
bushels of our wheat, and from other
countries about 8, O00,OO bushels.
A dispatch to the London Times
from Buenos Ayres says that there have
been good rains in the south and a
slight rainfall in the north, SO that the
harvest is now secure. It is estimated
that !. 200. 900 tons of wheat will be
exported.
Broomhall, a commercial authority
of Liverpool, cabled that special
agent investigated crop conditions In
Russia and pronounced the spring
wheat crop in the important southeast
district to yield not over 80 per cent OF
last year.
The receipts of spring at Minneapo-
lis by the Touring mills have been very
large, running as high as 100 cars in
one day. The American visible supply
increased ! 1861 bushels, and now
totals 90, $50, 900 bushels. A year ago
today the visible increased 2,411. 900
bushels and totalled 54.858, 600
bushels.
Regarding the fall wheat. Much re-
lief in the drought regions has been ex-
perienced by quite extended rains,
which in many places were fairly lio-
eral, and in others less important. The
effect has been to revive cheerfulness
and confidence where the seriousness of
drought conditions was having a dis
couraging influence. These rains have
not accomplished all that is needful,
but if they be soon followed by more
moisture there will be much done to
overcome the drawbacks which have
been attending autumn seeding opera
lions.
It is yet too early to offer an explicit
opinion as to the probable relative area
OF autumn sown wheat, but it now
seems practically conclusive that there
will be shown considerable gain over
last year. It is in evidence that Oc-
tober sowings of wheat if followed with
ordinary favorable conditions may be
expected to result we'll, and in fact the
wheat sown as late as the middle of
November has possibilities favoring a
good yield.
The rains have had the effect to
weaken the market sentiment to some
extent. and wheat values have receded.
Other influences have also had more
or less bearing in the same direction.
The large foreign demand which served
in an important degree to stimulate the
advancing tendency of values some
weeks ago has been modified, as might
have been expected as natural result
to follow that abnormal activity.

A New Cath Policy.

New York, Oct. Cot is reported
in high official circles that Archbishop
Corrigan has been negotiating with SUI
perintendent Jasper of the public
schools for the utilization of parochial
and public schools in this city. He
has offered, it is alleged, to turn the
Catholic schools with their 10000
children, over to the municipal school
authorities, provided he is permitted
to give an hours instruction daily to
the Catholic children of the public
schools This is the stipulation. He
makes no other, either as regards text
books or teachers 1t is said many
other metropolitans are anxious to
adopt similar policy if it meets the
approval of the apostolic delegate.

Earl Ii to Retire.

Tacoma, Oct. 20.-According to Chi
nese advices just received, Earl Lii
Hung Chang will no longer take an
active part in government. A native
correspondent writing from Picking says
that Ii has been in i'll health, though
it is not generally known. He is anx-
ious for rest. This will permit him
to relinquish his duty as grand secre-
tary and minister of the tsung-li-yamen.
He realizes there are many reforms
which China must soon undertake II
she is to preserve her unity, and he
would like to have a part in carrying
them out. Knowing, however, that
only start can be made while he lives,
and that care and work will shorten
his days, he has decided to retire as
soon as possible to the quiet of his own
estate in Amin.

The little turkey died as soon as it was

lege, where it is attracting the atten-
ton of the medical fraternity.

ENGLAND MUST TAKE THE LEAD.
Arbitration Matter will Not Otherwise
Be Revived.

"A
Be Revived.
New York, Oct. 2O.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says:
Unless the British foreign office presses
the negotiations in connection with
general arbitration treaty the matter
will not again be taken up by this gov
eminent. Neither the administration
nor the British foreign Office has dur
ing the last three months shown any
disposition to expedite matters. De-
partment officials declare that Great
Britain must be the one to revive the
subject if it is to be revived at all A
cabinet official says the president is
still DESTROYS of securing a treaty Ct
arbitration with Great Britain. Mr..
Mckinley hoped that more interest
would be taken by Great Britain than
heretofore.
The authorities are apparently much
chagrined over England's action in the
Behring sea matter, in which all the
interested powers were to participate.
Had the general arbitration treaty ne
gotiated by the Cleveland administra-
ton been approved the controversy in
regard to seals could properly be con-
sidered by such tribunal as proposed
by that convention.
Lord Salisbury would also be pleased
to have the treaty in force, for then he
could permit the sealing question to
be arbitrated and put out to Canada
that she was bound by the convention
to take such action. Now, however,
the negotiation of general arbitration
treaty might be considered by Cana
dams as indicative of a desire of the
Salisbury government to play into the
hands of the United States.
