the effect of the first application was simply
wonderful: In less than FIVE minutes my hear
ing was fully restored, and has been perfect ever
since, and in few months was entirely cured
of Catarrh.-ELI BROWN Jacksboro, Tenn
Over year ago l saw DR.. J. II. M0ore's
advertisement offering free three bottles Of
medicine. I sent for it and began using it.
The free course was said to last three months,
but mine lasted nearly FIVE. Afterwards
paid for two more courses. Before used this
medicine I could scarcely hear at all and suf.
fered terribly with catarrh had gathering
in my head which discharged at the ears and
gave out 9 disagreeable smell. Now can hear
well and have no more rumbling noises in my

done me and would advise any one in my con-

Banking LEGISLATION

The proposed amendment to the banking
act of Illinois, on which the people of the
state voted at last election, appears to have
been approved. The banking act prohibits
loans in excess of 10 per cent. of bank
capital to any particular borrower. To this
section of the banking act the following
amendment is now added:
Every such loan made in violation of the
provisions hereof shall be due and payable
according to it's terms, and the remedy for
the recovery of any money loaned in viola
tion of the provisions hereof, or for the
enforcement of any agreement, collateral OF
otherwise, made in connection with any such
loan, shall not be held to be impaired, affect
ed or prohibited by reason of such violation,
but such remedy shall not exist notwith
standing the same. But every director Of
any such (banking) association who shall
violate or participate in or assent to such
violation, or who shall permit any of the
officers, agents or servants of the associa
tion to violate the provisions hereof, shall
be held liable in his personal and individual
capacity for all damages which the asso.
citation, it's shareholders or any other per
son shall have sustained in consequence OF

Last Years Immigration

Italy continues to contribute heavily to
{ our population. During the fiscal year end.
ing June 30 last 5S,6l3 Italians, men, women
and children, came into the country. The
total immigration from Germany has been
diminished annually since 1892, being $780,
!oS IN that year, against only l7lll for the
last fiscal year. In ten years we have added
nearly 100000 individuals of foreign birth
to our population. The fact that the popula-
tion of the United States continues to at
tract immigrants is an evidence of cur
greatness, industrially and socially. This
movement could not go on if it were not
for the fact that the conditions of life were

an irregular course, left off strong at the

points In. some Of the specialties, while the

Active Demand for Hardwood

The hardwood trade is really in more
satisfactory condition than that pertaining
to the soft woods, says the Northwestern
Lumberman There is not a weak spot in
the market anywhere. Though the season is
near an end, and consumers are inclined to
restrict their purchases to necessities, there
yet has been but little slackening of the
urgent movement which has characterized
the trade all season. Dry stocks at the mills,
north and south, have been sold off, even
what would ordinarily be considered riff
rnf having been cleaned up. The demand
this season has prcdoninantly been for coin
mon and Gull lumber, the call for firsts and
seconds having been less than usual, en-
cept when lumber was required for ex-
port The greater demand from all sorts of
consumers has been for common lumber,
that seeming to have been as good stock as
they required This excessive demand has
absorbed common oak faster than it could
be dried, with the result that there is a
shortage all over the country. Thick ash has
also been sold out to the extent of scarcity
az the mills south, and at market points.
Black ash in the north has become almost
an unknown market quantity, and the same
can be said of Michigan soft elm. 1t il also
said that the greater portion of Wisconsin
basswood has changed hands, and the de-
mand for Gull is in excess of the ready sup
ply. Poplar has done better this season
than for years, and the demand is still well
maintained, while prices are firm at 81. so
to SO thousand higher than a year ago.
