SOLDIERS WIVES COLONIES
Village Has Sprung Up Near Ohio
Home Where They May Be
Near Husbands.

Sandusky, O., Jan. lin a surpris-
ingly short time a new, crowded and
busy little village has sprung up about
the Ohio Soldiers and Sailors home,
and adopted the euphOnious appellation
of bonneville.
Already a hundred cottages have been
built and are occupied. The denizens
are the wives and children of soldiers,
who, for various reasons, prefer to be
cared for in the great institution pro-
vided by the state and nation for its
defenders in their declining years, but
who have means sufficient to erect lit
tie dwellings, and pension money
enough to maintain them. This Home
vile is really an adjunct of the Veter-
ans Home, and the good it will bring
about in many ways is said to be meal
culable.
The old soldiers take great pride in
what they call, almost affectionately,
"our town.

END OF CHEAP BROOMS.
The Trust Has Decided That $1.1O
Per Dozen is the Minimum.

Kansas City, Jan. 17.-Hugh E. Thomp-
son, a prominent local dealer in broom
corn, has returned from Chicago, where
he attended the fourth annual meeting
of the American Broom Manufacturing
association.
He reports taht a permanent organ
ization was effected with L. c. Howard
of New York, president; H. Lank of
Pittsburg, Pa, first vice president, and
Brit Donaldson of Sydney. o., secreta-
ry. President Howard is also president
of the broom makers trust, which COM
prises all of the important factories in
the east.
The representation at the convention,
according to Mr.. Thompson, was large
ly from the eastern and central states.
consisting chiefly of the manufacturing
interest. It was decided that the pro-
ductiOn of brOOms below $1.10 a dozen,
wholesale, should cease, as there is no
profit below that figure. Mr.. Thomp-
son thinks this will not result in in
creased cost to the consumer, but will
leave the manufacture of cheap brooms
to the small factories.
1t was also resolved that no manufac-
turer should buy broom corn from a
broker who sells small quantities to lit
tie factories at the same price paid by
trust members for car lots.

ONYX PUBLIC BUILDING.
Cheyenne Structure to Be Built of the
Stone, It Is Reported.

Cheyenne, WyO., Jan. Incredible re-
port has it that the new Cheyenne public
building is to be constructed entirely OF
onyx. The reason is that native Wyom>
ing onyx is abundant of deposit and
free of access as is granite, sandstone or
brick clays in other less favored regions.
The principal onyx deposits of Wy
oming, as far as located, are in the Hart
vile region, sufficiently accessible by rail
for reasonable freight transit.
Immediately adjoining these onyx de-
posits are exhaustless beds of marble of
variegated colors, as susceptible of build
ing uses as are the onyx deposits.

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant Simple, But Safe EfectuaI
Cure For It.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual systems are a full or bloat-
ing sensation after eating, accompa-
MED sometimes with sour or watery-
risings, a formation of gases, causing
pressure on the heart and lungs and
difficult breathing; headache, tickle ap-
petite, nervousness and a general play
ed out, Ianguid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth. coated tongue, and if the inter-
Tor of the stomach could be seen it
would show a Shiny, inf1amed condi-
ton.
The cure for this common and obsti-
nate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily
thoroughly digested before it has a
time to ferment and irritate the deli
cate mucous surfaces of the stomach
To secure a prompt and healthy df-
geStiOn is the one necessary thing to
do, and when normal digestion is Sc
cured the catarrhal condition VIII have
disappeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson the SAT-
est and best treatment is to use after
each meal a tablet, composed of Dias-
taSe, ASeptic PepSin, a little Nux
Golden Seal and fruit acids.
These tablets can now be found at all
drug stores under the name of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets, and, not being
a patent medicine, can be used with
perfect safety and assurance that
healthy appetite and thorough digestion
will follow their regular use after
meals.
Mr.. N. ]. Booher of 271O Dearborn St.
Chicago, Ill, writes: "Catarrh is a To-
cal condition resulting from a neglect
ed cold in the head, whereby the lining
membrane of the nose becomes indam-
ed and the poisonous discharge there
from, passing backward into the throat,
reaches the stomach, thus producing
catarrh of the stomach. Medical
authorities prescribed for me for three
years for catarrh of stomach without
cure, but today I am the happiest of
men after using only one box of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets. I cannot find
appropriate words to express my good
feeling.
I have found flesh, appetite and sound
rest from their use.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
safest preparation as well as the sim
plest and most convenient remedy for
any form of indigestion, catarrh of
stomach biliousness, sour stomach
heartburn and bloating after meals
Send for little book, mailed free, on
stomach troubles, by addressing Stuart
Co., Marshall, Mich. The tablets can
be found at all drug stores.

SHOES ADVANCE IN PRICE.
Firmness of the Eastern Hide Market
Said to Be Responsible.

SeS10 " Dc 6S0SDOuS1D1Ss
st. Louis, Jan. IAN advance in the
price of shoes is confidently predicted to
occur within the next few days by retail
shoe men and jobbers, and people who are
informed of the expected increase are
wisely taking advantage of their Inowl-
edge by making their purchases of foot
wear at the present prices.
The condition of the hide and leather
market at present is responsible for the
advance which will be made. The adj
vance in prices will be general throughout
the country, and will affect all classes of
footwear.
Despite the advance in the prices of
hides, leather has not advanced at a COM
mensurate increase, and shoes are selling
al about the same prices asked before the
hide market strengthened so stiffly. Under
these conditions the retail dealer is en-
joying himself hugely al the expense of
the tanner, manufacturer and jobber, who
are losing money, or at least making but
a scant profit on their goods.
This state of affairs called for some ac-
ton on the part of the manufacturer ana
jobber, and conferences have been held on
various occasions by the Representatives
of large eastern houses, to devise some
remedy for the abnormal situation of the
shoe market.
The result of these conferences has been
a determination to order a general ad-
vance in the prices of footwear. In dis
cussing the matter. the buyer for a large
retail shoe house of this city summed up
the situation thus:
1.-The advance in the prices of all kinds
of footwear is bound to come within
short time. Manufacturers have been
working up their old leather. and jobbers
have been getting rid of their old goods,
until all the stocks that were bought at
lower prices have about disappeared. Tan
ners are confident of realizing better prices
on their goods, and refuse to make any
concessions to manufacturers. In their
turn, jobbers have exhausted every re-
source for obtaining shoes from eastern
factories at old prices. Consequently, with
higher leather prices and shoe stocks
bought in a higher market, it is inevita~
Bile that the retail price of shoes should
advance"

PEST OF ARIZONA.
Big Cats Garry OF Horses-Cowboy's
Encounter With Tawny Terror.

Phoenix, Jan. 17.-Throughout. Cen
trail Arizona mountain lions are more
numerous this year than ever before
known, and are descending to the val
leys to avoid the intense cold of the
mountain tops, their usual haunts.
Hunters are active among them, and
scores of lion skins have been brought
before the county officials to secure the
bounty offered of $40 a scalp. The lions
are rarely to be feared by man, though
often as large as the named forest king
of Africa The most determined efforts
are being made, however, to extermi-
nate them, mainly because of the leon
inc fOpdness for horse meat. Cattle are
seldom mOlested, but horses and colts
are fairly cleared from a lion-infested
range.
AS a general rule the lions are freed
and slaughtered with the aid of blood
hounds, but John Sicily, a Verde Val
ley cowboy, tells a different tale in con-
nection with a. superb skin brought in
by him from his range. He states he
was slowly riding along a trail Is miles
north of the mouth of the Verde late
last Friday night. His horse seemed to
sniff danger, but Skelly compelled him
to proceed. He was passing almost
under a large rock that jutted at the
the rock, bearing horse and rider to the
ground. The great tawny beast paid
no attention to the man. but savagely
tore at the muscles at the base of the
horses neck. Sicily, who was uninjur-
ed by the fall, drew his revolver and,
pressing the muzzle to the lions ear
pulled the trigger. One shot sufficed.
but another bullet was needed for the
horse, which had been fatally clawed.
