Prices Now and a Year Ago,

Prices of the principal products
that the Iowa farmers sell are practi-
cally the same to-day that they were
a year ago. They do not compare
with the prices paid in November,
1895. We have just received from J.
A, Edwards & Co., commission mer-
chants of Chicago, carefully pre-
pared pamphlet containing statistical
Information relating to stocks, grain,
provisions, live stock and seeds, which
give the highest and lowest prices of
farm products in the Chicago markets
each month during the past seven
teen years. From this we learn that
the highest cash prices for the month
of November for 1893, 1894, 1895 and
1896 for the products named, were as
follows:

pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being q constitutional disease, re-
quires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cureis taken internal
ly. acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system, there
by destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitu-
ton and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curativ powers, that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for

DON'T think that yonr liver needs

treating if you are bilious. Ii don't.
It's your stomach That is, your
stomach is really what causes the
biliousness. 1t has put your liver
out of order.
See what's the matter of your
stomach.
Sick stomach poisons liver and
then causes trouble. Shaker Diges-
tive Cordial cures stomach and then
all's we'll. That's the case in a nut
shell.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is no
secret. Formulas on every bottle
But it's the simple honest way it's
made, the honest Shaker herbs and
other ingredients of which it's COM
posed, that make it so efflcacious.
ANY real case of indigestion and
billion sness can be cured with a few
bottles of Shaker Digestive Cordial.

Miners who came. down to Victoria,
B. c., on the steamer Farallon from
Taiya and who left Dawson City about
40 days ago, say five days before they
left Hansen, one of the managers of the
Alaska Commercial company, arrived
in canoe and told of the Abandonment
OF efforts to get food up the river.
Fully 400 miners at once made prep
arations to start out over the trails, but
the citizens committee refused to al
low them sufficient provisions for the
journey, so save those who had already
started all will have to remain and
share in the privations at Dawson.

On his way out over the Dalton trail,
which in many places runs along the
iukon's banks, the party met many
boats bound down. About 800 boats are
now going down the river with from
four to seven men in each boat.
The Fries party was the last to leave
Dawson
At Five Finger Rapids they fell in
with the party headed by Kay Stuart,
OF New York, which left six days be-
fore and, reaching Dalton's boat, they
caught up with the party made up Of
John Fry, T. L. and j. Trippe and G..
Holden, of New York, with an Indian
guide.
This party ran short of food and for
four days none had any food save an
owl which they shot and some soup
made from rawhide strap which they
were using in packing their goods.
The Farallon brought down about
$4,000 in gold.

Clinton Eldridge, who passed through
st. Paul, Mimi, on his way to his home
in eastern Illinois, brings some start
ling news from the Alaskan country,
which he has just left. He came from
Rampant City, on Munook creek. The
people at KlondiSe have by this time, he
says, been warned that no more pro-
visions will reach them, the captain of
one of the boats having gone up to
warn them of that fact. just before he
left the steamer Alice, of the Alaska
Commercial company, arrived at Ram
part City,. her captain having given up
all hope of getting to Dawson. She
unloaded her cargo of provisions there.
The steamers were all stopped at Fort
Yukon, finding difficulty in crossing
the bars there. They have unloaded
large quantity of provisions there. 1t
was reported there We're from 5000 to
1000 men at Dawson and about 100
day coming over the trail. There are
only provisions enough for about 1000
persons. The people coming over the
trail are bringing in only enough to last
until they reach Dawson. Some 1000
people were waiting on the bank of the
river for the arrival of steamers with
provisions. Some quartz claims which
promised very we'll have been located
near Rampant City, about which not
much has been heard. From its loca-
ton the place bids fair to be lively
camp this winter.

Danger in wedding rice.


The custom of showering rice upon
newly-married couples has been popu-
lar for years. 1t may be absurd, but it
furnishes plenty of fun-for the we'd
ding guests. 1t now appears, however,
that the practice is dangerous. This is
shown in the case of young woman
who was married in Bridgeport, Conn,
the other day. Friends threw great
quantities of rice at the bride and the
groom, and soon after the bride COM
planned of pain in one of her ears. 1t
grew rapidly worse, and by the time
New York was reached the young wom-
an was almost frantic. A physician was
secured and he soon found a kernel of
rice in the ear, which when removed
caused the pain to disappear. Still, this
is only one case. Thousands and thou
sands of brides and grooms have been
showered, but no information is at
hand of trouble of a serious nature re-
sulting from the practice. Those good
people who will use this Bridgeport in
cident as an argument against rice
throwing will likely have their trouble
for their pains. Customs are not so
easily broken up when once estab-
lished.
