which only complete health can insure.
A woman with bright eye clear COM
plexion, mantling color in the cheeks and
buoyant elastic step and manner has a
natural attractiveness that no artificial
agency can counterfeit
A woman who is afflicted with the morti-
flying misfortune of dull, sallow, pimply
complexion or that listless movement and
attitude which provokes only disgust and
revulsion in the opposite sex, ought to avail
herself of the purifying, invigorating power
of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,

CHICAGO MARKET MARCH ID.

The ease with which the price of
wheat keeps above the dollar mark is
great encouragement to those who
have faith in a still higher range of
value for this cereal. To-day May
wheat was quiet but strong around
81 O4, and it is now the general opinion
that SO far as that option is concerned
the large holders will not have much
difficulty in maintaining present
values, or even better ones, in the
Chicago market, although whether
they will be able to dispose of the
wheat that will undoubtedly be trans
ferred to them when contracts now
being made come due is question
over which there is a decided differ
ence of opinion. 1t is argued that the
acreage of winter wheat is larger than
ever before, that the same will be true
of spring wheat, and conditions at
present are certainly favorable to the
growing crop. All this will have its
effect later on, and that prices can be
maintained under such circumstances
is seriously questioned by many ex-
perts in the trade.
Corn and oats are dull but steady,
while provisions have lost their tone
and now seem to be seeking a lower
level. It is true that war would
eventually cause sharp rise in this
market, but on the other hand the re-
appearance of yellow fever in the
south, which is confidently expected.
would certainly induce a marked de-
cline.

stand for long time and the grain
will not she'll out, and there is no rain
or wind to damage it. 1t is not neces-
sary to have binder either. Some do
have but large part of the farmers
have the grain cut and threshed at the
samatime by combined header and
thresher, which does it all at the same
time and which goes from farm to
farm as the thresher comes to our
farms. The grain is put into two bu-
shell sacks, something like gunny sacks,
and sewed up. Almost everything goes
into a sack out there and everything
sells by the hundred and ton.
The farmer has SO many tons of
wheat, oats, potatoes or turnips. l
asked an old gentleman how much his
potatoes generally yielded, and his re-
ply was from six to twelve tons to the
acre, which required on my part bit
of mental arithmetic to find out the
number of bushels. AS to putting all
the farmers product in sacks it is nec-
essary in the case of wheat as the sur
plus is shipped to England by sailing
vessels, and if sent in bulk is likely to
shift cargo in heavy storms and there
is more risk of must and heating in
bulk as the ship must cross the
Equator twice on the voyage. The
best wheat districts are what is known
as the Palouse country, south of Spo-
kane, where the climatic conditions
are such as to generally give the farm
or good returns for his labors.
There are very few natural mead
ows in the State. l did not see load
of hay on farmers wagon in either
Seattle or Spokane. Nearly all the
hay grown, either alfalfa, timothy or
natural grass, is from the tide lands OF
the sound or irrigated lands in the
farming districts, and all is baled be-
fore being sent to market. The CON-
mon feed east of the mountains is
wheat or oats hay cut low and bound
with binder aud broughtto the local
markets in the bundle.
The southwestern counties of east
ern Washington, notably along the
valley of the Yakima river, 200 miles
long, are occupied ny small farms,
mostly devoted to fruits, hops, tobac-
co, vegetables and small grains. There
are four or five cities in this region
of from three to five thousand popula-
ton and general prosperity prevails
In the Walla Walla country is to be

APPLICATIONS
FOR DISCHARGE

The confidence of the administration
is growing stronger that the negotin-
tions of the Paris peace commission will
be successful, at least so far as to avert
the necessity of resuming hostilities be-
tween the United States and Spain. and
this warrants the government In PLAN
ming to reduce the volunteer force to
the lowest limit compatible with the
public interest. The large number OF
applications that are being received for
discharges of privates from the army
weighs strongly with the war depart
ment in discussing a radical reduction
erals Office daily receives an average
of from 30 to 40 applications for dismiss
sal from each regiment In the volunteer
army. Various reasons are given for
these requests, but in the majority OF
cases sickness or physical incapacity is
the cause assigned.
Gen. Miles some. time ago proposed
to the war department that a reduction
of the volunteer force sufficient to dis
pose of the applicants for dismissal
without destroying the identity or the
various regiments be brought about by
reducing She number of companies IN
each regiment to eight. and the num-
ber OF men in each company TO 40.
Within few days, however, the num-
ber OF applications for discharge from
the army has increased so rapidly that
even Gen. Miles himself probably no
longer believes that his plan would be
adequate to meet the situation.
The opinion is becoming generally en-
tertained that the only satisfactory way
to deal with the situation is to muster
out at least one-haIf Of the volunteer
regiments. If the plan suggested shall
finally be decided upon, the designation
of regiments for muster out Will be de-
termined according to the original ap-
portionment of regiments to be raised
by the several commonwealths. Ger
tain considerations may prevent an ex-
actly equal apportonment In the mus
ter out. but the reduction will be made
as nearly as possible according to the
relative size of the enlisted force from

He jumped back with an angry snarl
while the woman fell TO the floor, and
then the man faced around and turned
his pistol upon the rescuers. Before he
could shoot, however, officer Martin

fashioned weapon OF French make. with

sharp, but very short tussle, the
"twisters" were put on the man and he

She says that at an earlier hour today
her husband came to this room and
said to her i'm French: II am going to
kill you today and then kill myself"
But she did not believe that he meant
what he said. About l o'clock he re-
turned and at once drew his pistol. and.
she says would have killed her without
the help of Mr.. Shaw and the police
man.

TO RETURN

Washington, Sept 22.--Senor Tomas

the United States, and the members OF
the Junta are being besieged by loyal
Cubans who are anxious TO return TO
Cuba, but are without means. Applica-
tions have come from various parts OF
the United States asking II II is not
possible to secure transportation on the
American transports. The majority or
the refugees are anxious TO return TO
their old homes throughout the island.
but many are desirous OF going only TO
Santiago, where the Americans are al
ready i'm control. The Junta also reports
that large numbers Of refugees In Mex
leo and Central and South American
countries are also preparing to return
to Cuba as soon as the Spanish have
evacuated the island. and many will're-
turn before that time.
Senior Palma has been soliciting the
aid of the United States government
to secure transportation for his coun-
trymen and has given out the following
notice:
'The delegation having obtained
promises from the Secretary of War at
Washington to facilitate passage for
Santiago de Cuba for such Cubans az

definite form. but in general the prop
osition Is 10 reduce the volunteer force

they know great deal more than they

Of this city, both of whom left Rhode
Island on March 16 last in company
with Charles Sampson, a Providence

and Providence man named Dubricay.
After reciting some OF the difficulties
they experienced after reaching Fort
Synoby, on the Athabasca river, Mr..
Paine says they were compelled to build
boats and went down the river and up
Little Slave river, passing through 25
rapids in 30 miles. At the mouth OF the
river he found an English party that
had lost all their provisions. so he
traded a small boat and 10 days provi-
sions for a big boat which they had.
He put a sail on the big boat and sailed
up the Little Slave lake. At the head
of the lake they found 30 parties who
did not know where to go. They had
lost nearly all their provisions.
After great suffering Mr.. Paine and
his friends finally reached the Wapiti
river, and being told by the natives
that they could not cross the divides,
they built a raft and came down the
Big Smoky river. dangerous journey.
They landed at Peace river on July 10.
when Mr.. Paine decided to come home.
He worked his way on the Hudson bay
line as far as Edmonton; from there he
went to Calgary. where he worked as
cowboy on ranch for IA days. Then
he shipped with the cattle to Montreal,
went to st. Adams, VT. and finally
raised enough money to get home again.
