BIRTHSTONE IS SCARCE.
Sulphur a Contraband of War and
Americas Supply Comes From
Sicily

New York, May 1.-THE Tribune says:
Unless war is brought to a quick termin-
alton or Spain removes the embargo that
she has placed on sulphur as contraband
of war the manufa cturerS in this country
will probably be soon obliged to consider
ably raise the price of the cheaper kinds
zines, and rise in the price of sulphur
would have the effect of raising the cost
of newspapers to a very appreciable ex-
tent
The amount of birthstone in this country
at present is extremely small, and there
seems at present no indication that the
stock can be increased.
try from Sicily and the year before the
importation was even larger. The raw
substance known as birthstone comes ex-
clusively from Sicily, most of it being
shipped from the port of Palermo. Be
sides being used by the manufacturers of
wood pulp and paper, the makers of fer
tlizers and sulphuric acid are also large
consumers of it, while after it has been
converted into sulphur it plays an i'm
portant part in the manufacture of Vul-
canized rubber, no substance having yet
been found to take the place of sulphur
in the making of what is known as hard
rubber
The agents in England absolutely re-
fuse to consfgn any birthstone here
A month ago the price of birthstone
here was about So ton. At the present
time 1T is $40 ton and will in all prob
ability reach a much higher figure before
the end of the war.

| were severed, and the powers made nc
attempt to intervene; not at first
The admirals got their fleets in good
working order and the big guns were
trained on each others vessels The
harbors were mined, and the explosion
did some damage, pitching a number of
boats high in the air.
The row all happened this way: Each
man had candidate for the Sedgwick
member of the district committee. Each
called a caucus, and each started to
work for his man. The fight became Bit
ter. Bentley was called in. He threw
up his hands in horror, and then said
to the State Journal correspondent:
1T was about as expected; you can
not hold those Wichita men together to
save your life
Bentley then called in Long, but he
refused at first to take part in the
fight. At last sort of amicable agree
ment was reached, but the fight will be
carried back to Wichita and there
opened anew, to the great disaster of
the party in Sedgwick county, which
will need all the harmony it can secure
to pull through this fall.
Farmer A. w. Smith, the McPher-
son county agriculturist, was here last
night and this morning, and incidental
ly told few words of truth to the Long
men.
Smith was here on business connected
with his place as member of the board
of managers for Kansas of the Trans
mississippi exposition, to be held this
summer at Omaha, but he stopped at
the Midland and expressed himself on
the quiet with regard to Longs
chances.
He said this was not a year for Long,
and that the prophet from Medicine
Lodge could not carry the district as
against Jerry Simpson. His advice did
no good, however, for the bosses have
things too well fixed.
Senator o. H. Bentley explained to-
day to the correspondent for the State
Journal why it was he withdrew as a
candidate for congress. He said:
LAS a matter of fact I could not have
secured the nomination. Long had
ization, and he had powerful and infiu-
entail backing. I had nothing except
a lot Of good friends and my own eff
forts.
Then there was fear of working an
Injury to Stanley. 1 did not desire to
stir up any strife in my own county or
in the district. 1 surely would have
done this had kept on. Stanley and
are the best of friends, but if I had
stayed in the race they would have &C
cused me of trying to down him, and
there would have been trouble.
again, seeing as did that Long had
everything well under way, and not de-
string to do anything to engender Re
publican success in the district, I, as
well as my friends, thought the best
thing to do was to pull out. L am not
sore, and my friends are not, either"
1t is thought here that Bentley has
had some assurance from Stanley and
Long for the future; perhaps promise
from Long of support two years hence.

the splendid exhibition of American
spirit and valor in the harbor of Ma
Mia by Commodore Dewey and his gal
liant officers and men, upon the brilliant
victory added to the laurels of our
navy, and we trust that equal oppor-
tunity and success may be granted 9TH
er naval commanders until not a Span
ish vessel is left upon the waters.
We congratulate the farmer, the ar
tisan and the laborer, interests embrace
ing practically all the people of this
district, upon the improved condition
prices of farm products going up while
the producer sleeps, ana full time and
often extra time for the men in the
great manufacturing plants which have
given the district world wide fame.
The Republican idea of home produce
ton was never better exemplifed than
in the relation which exists between
the farmers and the great concentra-
ton of market and demand within the
limits of the district.
We denounce Populfsm as degrading
to the spirit of a free and high-ninded
people, in cultivating a contemplate
whine instead of heroically mastering
adverse conditions, or patiently endur-
ing the results of our own mistakes
in supplanting industry, economy and
individual effort by patent right
schemes to beat work, and a dependence
on some mysterious power of govern
ment; and in proof of its degrading
tendencies we call attention to the uni
versal imbecility and incompetency in
all lines of public administration.
The Republican doctrine has been
wonderfully confirmed in the marvel
GUS prosperity of the past year through
natural causes and the industry of the
people, without any fertilizing assist
ance of a single Populist idea.
We renew our allegiance to the last
Republican national platform, and
pledge ourselves to do our utmost to re-
deem Kansas from the blight of Popu-
lism through an enthusiastic support Of
the nominees of the Republican state
and congressional conventions.

Montpelier, VT, May 5.-Chas. Dewey,
brother of Commodore Dewey, has just
celebrated both his f1ftieth wedding an

brother has won over the Spanish fore
es at the Philippine islands. There
were guests present at the celebration
from Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
all parts of the New England states
and New York state.

was the admiraPS great victory.
Charles Dewey is the executive head

confidence in the commodore. 1 knew
him possibly better than anyone else.
I am older than he and knew him from
a little fodder until he grew up to man

sage that he would take Manila in SO

doubt of taking the city"

PoPULIsM DEGRADEs.
Second District Republicans Adopt a
Broad Platform.


Ottawa, May 5.-The Republican con-
vention in the Second congressional
district adopted the following resolu-
tions:
The Republicans of the Second con-
gressional district of Kansas congratu-
and speedy achievements of Republican
rule under the administration of Will
liam McKinley-a change from a regu-
lar monthly deficit, aggregating $780,
600 coo additional national debt in time
of peace to the old time debt-paying
surplus under a Republican revenue
law; from idleness and want under a
Democratic free trade tariff, to industry
and activity and increased demand and
better prices for products, under a Re
publican protective tariff; from a gold
reserve always short to a treasury
overlooking with gold; and because of
the patriotic wisdom of the St. Louis
platform hundreds of millions of money
has been offered the government at 3
per cent in the face of a great war
thus demonstrating that Providence
saved the nation from a pitfall of de-
based money, hatiSm, and Organism,
worse than war.
We commend the wisdom and discre-
ton of President Mckinley in all his
dealings with Cuban question, the pa
thence and caution with which he ap-
preached the awful responsibilities of
war, and the vigOr and thOrOughneSS
with which he prepared for it, har-
aSSed as he was with the clamor of
the impatient, so that in less than so
ship Maine the United States navy
achieves a victory equal to any in mod
ern warfare, and we see a mighty army
of volunteers marshalling and fleets
gathering.
We congratulate the country upon

upon US, the government is moving

therefore,
Resolved, That we, the board of

church, in our regular semi-annual ses-
sion assembled, express our confidence
in the wisdom, ability and exalted char
acter of President Mckinley and assure
him of the sympathy, support and pray
ers of our people everywhere.
Resolved, That we render most
hearty thanks to God for the victory he
has vouchSafed to our arms at Manila,
and that we congratulate our navy up
on this magnificent achievement"

Consumption Cured.

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAVE.
Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, of 525 W. Pearl ST., Indianapo-
lis, Ind, was at deaths door with quick
consumption. Wasted to skeleton;
his lungs a mass of liberation; MS
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in a constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle.

In consumption beware of cough mix
tures and prescriptions that contain
opium. Opium PARALLELS the nerves.
and gives the comma bacillus good
chance to destroy the lungs. It is
always fatal. Brazilian Balm does not
contain a trace of any opiate, but stimu-
Iates the nerves with new life and power.
DESTROYS the microbe, and restores. all

DEADLOCK Ar OTTAWA.
Showed No Signs of Breaking When
the Convention Met Today.

Ottawa, May 5.-The Second congress
Sional district convention, up to the
time of adjournment last night, had ia
ken 200 ballots and the deadlock re-
manned unbroken. The convention then
adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning
and the delegates spent the night eau
cusing, but when the convention hour
arrived this morning there was no eV-
idence of any agreement having been
reached.
The rumors which have been filling
the air were exceedingly amusing. First
it was stated that Harris would nom
mate Ed Gates; then that Smith and
Buchan were to combine and name J.
D. BowerSock; then again that Bower
sock, Harris and Gates were going to
Smith. Negotiations up to date have
been extremely unsatisfactory to the
aspiring candidates because, upon gen.
era1 appearances, each has as good a
show as the other.
If BOwersock is nominated it will be
a sort of Christmas present. His del
egates have decided that they cannot
desert him and then go home in safety.
]. ]. Cox put a resolution through the
county convention, inStructing for Bow
erSOck, which was wOrded in such a
way that the delegates are bound to
him, rise or fall. They cannot leave him
under any circumstances without vio-
lating their instructions. 1t has been
agreed by the Douglas county dele
gates, in view of these absolute instruc-
tions to stand pat and wait for the 9TH
erS to come to them. Mr.. Bowersock
has 10 votes and is third in the race.
