All uncertainties which suggested
themselves early in the summer have
been gradually diSsipated. The wheat
crop is evidently by far the largest on
record. The weeks rain in the corn
belt has gone far to remove fears regard
ing the corn crop. The only doubt about
the cotton crop is whether the world can
consume it. even ut the low prices pre-
vailing. The conviction i growing
that even with good wheat crops there
will be found Il good market for our
surplus crop. owing TO the large dc
pIotion Of reserves of old wheat to
meet last years needs. The foreign
demand for wheat and -four and even
for corn continues good. 1t is now
conclusively shown that there Is no
cause for uneasineSS over the effect on
the money market Of the Government
loan. The activity in the loan trade
is one of several signs Of industrial and
trade revival which together with the
movement of crops is expected to give
largely extended uses Of money. There
will undoubtedly be large embarka-

the Philippines. confident expectation Of
such demands for money must be look
ed to to explain Il present import

 Mrs Wakeman was tine oldest daugh- ter of the late John H Hurlburt, for many years principal of Rocky Dell Institute A liberal education under her fathers supervision was supplemented by special course at Wellesley college. On October 16 tn. 1889, she was mar ried at Trinity church to Walter Wake man. Two young children are left motherless by her death.
 All who knew her felt the influence of her clear, we'll trained mind, and refinement and sincerity of her nature. Her life was strong and true and womanly. Devoted to her family and interested in the welfare of all, she won universal love and respect. In the prime of life the young wife and moth er has been called to pass "rhro' those dark gates and so across the wild, That no man knows"
 When blow like this is struck a community mourns.

This Information is Worth More Than
 the Present Value of Bin Full of
 Grain.
 In New Haven. Co.,, just outside the village of Seymour, Ct, there lives a good. honest, hardworking tiller of the soil, named John Castle. Like every sensible farmer, MT Castle subscribes for papers, and one evening as he was looking over his Ansouia weekly, his eye chsnced to catch a reading notice which proved g bonanza for him and frightened up his Tagging spirits over the low price of grain snd farm produce, and the high price ofthe commodities which are necessary for a farmers exis- tence A farmer reasons in his own peculiar way and he calls spade spade, so MT Castle says quietly to him. self: II want just such remedy as Doan's Kidney Pills. If it carries out half what it claims, it will cure my lame back. However much good may result from one box, little or DO harm can en- sue." The next time Mir Castle visited Ansonia be made some inquiries at drug store about the preparation and was informed that scores of people in Ansonia and the surrounding country had thoroughly tested Doan's Kidney Pills and published their experiences in Ansonia papers. This was enough for MT Castle, be purchased a supply at drug store and what follows is his ex- perience: II have at times been affiict- ed with backache and lumbago. It would catch me in the small of my back and I would feel it very much in the back of my head and in my neck. It hurt me to bend over or to make any sudden movement, On these occasions there would be some annoyance with the kidney secretions and the pain and lameness would hang on me for quite spell. My housekeeper had used Doan's Kidney Pills and spoke so high ly of them got box at drug store aud gave them trial. I found them to stop my back from aching and made me feel better generally. From my own experience I know that Doan's Kidney Pills can be relied upon"
