INSTANTANEOUS RELIEF
From Asthma Has Bean Afforded Many
sufferers In wheeling.


If there was doubt in the minds of
any sufferer from Asthma in this city
as TO the truth of the claims made for
DR.. Schiffmann's Asthma Cure, that
doubt no longer remains, providing he
was among those who called at the
Logan Drug Co.'S store last Thursday
and obtained free sample package.
A great number who have already tried
the same declare in positive terms that
relief was immediate; that the wretch
ed spasms were checked; that free eX-
pectoration was induced; that a re-
Ginning position was readily assumed
and gratefully maintained; that the
sleep which followed was restful and
unbroken, and that the morning
brought a clear head and feeling of
delighted thankfulness which no words
are too strong to describe.
Abundant voluntary testimonials
prove that DR.. Schiffmann'S Asthma
Cure not only gives instant relief in
the worst cases, but has positively
cured thousands who were considered
incurable The remedy is now sold by
all druggists in packages at soc and
s1.0O, thus bringing it within the reach
Of all. Should any reader be unable
to obtain it Of his druggist, it will be

there is tickling in the throat or a Tight

symptoms of consumption. Doctors differ
as TO whether consumption can be cured
in the last stages, but ii can be cured in
nearly every case if taken in time. Do not
let ii secure the least foothold Some pure

the only certain manner of throwing Off

HAWAIIAN TRADE.

Since the annexation of Hawaii there has been a great demand for statistics relating to the trade of the country. The bureau of statistics at Washington has pub lished a special report on the sub ject which is very interesting.
 Hawaii imports everything ex- cept sugar, coffee and fruits. Sugar production, of course, is principal industry of the island, and what is not consumed there IS exported to the United States, which Ill 1896 took 99.64 per cent of the total exports of the islands and supplied 70.27 per cent of all the imports. Now that the islands have been annexed it is estimated that at least 95 per cent of all the importations will come from the United States.
 There is no difference between the currency of the islands and that of the United States, the unit of value being the same. 1 The gold is all of American mintage, and the United States silver is in circulation and passes at par. The Hawaiian money is paper and is secured by silver held in reserve. Banks keep two accounts with their depositors, silver and gold, and the checks are so worded that the depositol may specify the account from which the check IS to be paid though in case the check does not state in what currency 1t is to bf paid the law provides that the l holder may demand gold if the amount is over $l0. The Hawaii an silver money amounts to $1, COG, ,000, of which $300,00 is helC by the government to secure { like amount of paper. The tota money in circulation is estimated 1 at s, 500, GOO. The rate of ex- change is l l-4 per cent on east ern cities of the United States, and 1 per cent on the Pacific coast. Gold is at a premium of l per cent The annual internal taxes average $6.48 per capita, the total reqenue from all sources g 2S3 c1o .lin l895); expendi lures. $2,437 ,103, and the public debt, $4,10l,17 bearing interest at , and per cent. Commereiiaall eiiaal travellers are, under the laws now in force, required to take out a license costing at Honolulu for the island upon which it is located $570, and on each of the other islands $255.
 Nearly all the commerce and travel between Hawaii and San Francisco is controlled by the Oceanic Steamship company, which charges $75 for 8 frst-class passage. In q short time there will be number of fine sailing vessels plying between these points which will greatly reduce the cost of travel, and then the old cry of "io west, young man, and grow up with the country, {" will again be revived. In few years the Americans will outnnm Der the natives of Hawaii, and once the island becomes thorough ly Americanized they will become the most productive spots on the face of the globe.-Gazette.
