STAN ACT.

The Williamsport, Pa, legal authorities
have taken a strong stand against the
trading stamp system, and have ordered
the chief of police to compel all mer-
chants using the scheme to discontinue it,
on the ground that it violated the provis-
ions of the act of the Pennsylvania leGis-
lature passed in 1885, prohibiting all such
schemes 1t is stated that the CHIEF OF
notice has notified all merchants that
they will be ARRESTED if they continue
tho sfanp system. AS the trading COM
pany is reported to have declined to stand
nv them. they will probably discontinue
the use of stamps.
Grocers in Lynn, Mass, are reported 10
be having an unhappy time with the trad
ing tamp. The merchants gave coupons
for a while. and then stopped doing so.
The merchants say they signed the con-
tract without fully realizing just what
it meant The merchants say that they
cannot afford to give the trading stamps.
Some grocers that signed contracts re-
fused some time ago TO continue giving
out the coupons, and have not been
troubled by the Traders agents, indeed,
have been released by them.
In Massachusetts. Judge Carter. OF Ha-
verhiu. has decided that the giving OF
trading stamps to customers by store
keeoers is a violation Of the provisions
of CHAPTER 277 of the acts of 1884. The
decision was rendered in test case which
was brought to decide the legality of the
trading stamp business, which has been
carried on extensively in that city. In
the decision, Judge Carter said the CIV
ing away of trading stamps to customers
vas a stimulation Of the gambling in
stinct. TO prevent which the law had
been especially framed.

SCROFULA
lS is Foul BIood's Advertise
ment
But 1t is Soon Cured by HOODS
SarsapaTilia.

Yes, Scrofula, if anything, may be called
the advertisement of foul blood. 1t is the
scourge of the world offensive, painful,
debilitating, stubborn and well nigh
uncomfortable.
Outward applications do not cure, they
only drive the difficulty to new quarters.
Emollients may palliate, they cannot
abolish the evil. There is but one sure
way out, and that is to eliminate the
faint from the blood.
There is one remedy thst can effect this,
and it is the only one that, so far as We
know, has almost invariably succeeded
even where the system has been poisoned
by long years of faint, and the rsysges to
be repaired are tremendous. That remedy
is Hoods Sarssparilla. Read this:
"My daughter was afflicted with i'm
pure blood. There were running sores
all over her body and they caused her
much suffering. We tried medicines that
were recommended as blood purifiers,
but could not see that they did any good.
A friend told me about Hoods Sarsaps-
rilla and began giving the girlthis med
icine. The result was that she was per-
fectIy cured after taking few bottles.
She has had no symptoms OF scrofuls
sores since that time" MARIETTA M.

HOG MARKET GROWS
Four Thousand Head Received
Tuesday and Wednesday.
SEVEN THOUSAND MORE
Could Have Been Disposed of
Readily.

Yesterday and the day before there were
nearly 1900 hogs received at the stock
yards. The exact number was $3.50. For
day before yesterday there were 900,
and yesterday 1920, the two days running
the number up to nearly 1900. They were
ali bought Immediately upon arrival, and
the demand at the close was strong
enough to have disposed of 1900 more on
Tuesday and 1900 more yesterday.
The recent article of the stock yards
and packing house capacity, published IL
the Eagle, Superintendent Dulaney
thinks, has given shippers different idea
as to the market here, and the list Of
shippers noted herein will demonstrate
that the territory is spreading. The aver
age distance of shipments for the year Of
1887 is more than sixty miles less than
the average of the shipping distance Of
the first three months Of 1898. The ship
ping distance of the two days, Tuesday
and Wednesday. is greatly in excess Of
any two days of the entire year Of 1897.
Below is given the names of shippers Of
yesterday and the day before. Raymond,
in Barton county, is the fartherest point,
over 40 miles. Kiowa, southwest, the
same distance, and Enid $50 miles south:
Farmers & Drovers' bank of Mt. Hope.
Colonel Mallam of Enid, Ok.
L. B. Morledge & Co, of Ponca City.

It is a significant fact that while the
supply of hogs at the Wichita market
has been much below the demand, IS soon
as the supply began to increase the de-
mand got much stronger. There were
buyers at the yards yesterday and the
day before anxious TO get the shipments
as soon as they arrived. There coui1
have been twice as many hogs disposed Of
yesterday as came to the yards. Wichita
will in time supersede Kansas City In
the southwest in the selling of cattle feed
ers. There is an increase in this business
right along. The number has reached into
the hundreds this week. The sheds are
good and the feed is cheap.

TWO COMMANDERS sUCCUMB.

Capt. Harrington and Lieut.. Com
mander Everett Go to the Hospital.
Capt. Frederick Rodgers formerly presi-
dent of the naval auxiliary board, has been
ordered to the command of the big monitor
Puritan now with Admiral SIMPSONS fleet
He relieves Capt. p. B. Harrington, who
has been prostrated by the terrible strain
and heat to which he has been subjected
during his long stay in Cuban waters
Lieut. Commander w. H. Everett, COM
manding the lighthouse tender Mangroye
has also succumbed to the hardships of the
Cuban blockade. Both officers have been
removed to the naval hospital at Key West
for treatment
The assignment Of Capt. Rodgers to the
Puritan leaves a vacancy in the command
of the cruiser Philadelphia, row fitting out
at San Francisco for service on the Pacific
station. to which he was originally assigned
several weeks ago. In view of the reported
desire of Capt. Crewninsheld, chief OF the
bureau Of navigation, for sea duty, 1t Is not
improbable that he may be given command
of the Philadelphia. She is one of the best
cruisers In the navy, and will undoubtedly
be called upon to render important service
on the Pacific station even If she Is not sent
to the Philippines, as was originally con-
templated. 1t Is expected that she will go
into commission at the Mare Island ward
on the 1st proximO. There Is considera bile
competition among naval officers for this
command, but 1t is believed that Cant
Crowninshield can have 1t II he asks for it.

llsh a proper and responsible government
on liberal principles and would be willing to
accept the sams terms for the country as
the United States intended giving Cuba.
The consul general of the United States. CO.
inciding with the general views eXpresss I'D
during the discussion. placed himself at
once in telegraphic communication with Ad-
mral Dewey at Hong Kong, between whom
and Pratt frequent interchange of tele-
grams consequently took place.
AS result another private interview
was arranged at the American consular
residence between Aguinaldo, Spencer
Pratt, Howard Bray and Leyba. The
sequel of this interview and in response
to the urgent request of Admiral Dewey,
Agunaldo left Singapore for Hong Kong
and thence went to Manila. The influence
of this incident on the future Of the Phil
ippines may prove to be Of far-reachtng
historical character.
Gen. Aguinaldos policy embraces the in
dependence of the Philippines. whose in
ternal affairs would be controlled under
European and American advisers. Amer
lean protection would be desirable tenn
porarily on the same lines that which
might be Instituted hereafter in Cuba.
The ports Of the Philippines would be free
to the trade Of the world. safeguards being
made against an influx Of Chinese aliens,
who would compete with the Industrious
population Of the country.
Reform the Judiciary.
There would be a complete reform of the
present corrupt judiciary of the country
under experienced European law officers.
The entire freedom of the press would he
established. as well as free speech and
public meeting. There would be general
religious liberation. and steps would be
taken for the abolition and expulsion of the
tyrannical religious fraternities which
have such a strong hand on every branch
Of the civil administration. Full provision
would be given for the exploitation of tha
natural resources and wealth Of the coun-
try by roads. railways and by the removal
of all hindrances to enterprise and the in
vestment Of capital.
The Spanish officials would be removed to
a place of safety until an opportunity
offered for their return to Spain. The
preservation of public safety and order
ard the checking of reprisals against the
Sraniards would naturally have been the
first care Of the government in the new
state Of things.

NO QUARREL BETWEEN OFFICERS.
Reports of Friction Over Delay I'm
Distributing Supplies Denied.


The reports of friction between army
headquarters and the various supply bu-
reaus Of the War Department because of
the congested condition of affairs at Tampa
are denied by officers of the departments
under whose direction these matters come.
1t is admitted by these officials that In ship
ping great quantities of subsistence and
equipments to Tampa difficulties arose in
their unloading, but on behalf Of the COM
nissarys branch 1t is stated authoritative
ly that there has never been any contro-
vsrsy with the higher officials regarding
this matter and no delay in depositing at
the points designated by the authorities all
the supplies needed.
On the contrary it is asserted and shown
that there has bean sent to the various mo-
bilizing points in the south a great guam
tity Of rations. vastly more than enough for
all purposes needed up to this time Like
wise ill the quartermaster's department the
statement is made that there has been no
controversy between the officials, and no
recriminating kilograms between army
headquarters and that department, as has
been published.

OUR WARsHIPS ON THE PACIFIC.
II Is Denied That CarOlines or La
drones Are to Re Seized

1t is Denied That CarOIines or La
drones Are to BE Seized
The arrival Of the Monterey at Coronado
Island, two days out from Mare Island, as
reported in the press dispatches this morn
ing from San Francisco, came as sur
prise to the Navy Department, showing
that the stop was not included in the moni-
tors itinerary. The loss of eighty-three
tens of coal by being washed overheard is
said by the officials to be inconseQuential
and not a sufficient reason for the stop.
The collier Brutus. which is accompanying
the monitor, has on board 400 tons of
coal, enough to tow the Monterey around
the world, SO that it must have been be-
cause of some slight accident aboard ship
that the Monterey went into Coronado. The
great circle that the captain Of the Monte
rey has selected as the line upon which he
will proceed to the Philippines, If started
afresh from the present location of the
ship, would bring the Monterey very close
to the Caroline Islands on the way, and It
may be that she will stop in there to coal
in some sheltered harDor if it is found de-
sirable to do so.
1t is said, however, by persons familiar
with the present disposition of the admin
istration that the plans do not contem-
plate the seizure Of these islands by the
Monterey, nor yet of the Island of Guajan
the principal one of the Ladrone group. by
the Charleston The latter ship may touch
upon the Ladrone Islands on the way, Just
as the Monterey may do in the case of the
Carolines. but it is not the present inten-
ton to formally occupy any of these is
lands OF course. it is realized that the
development Of our foreign policy may in
the end lead up to some such acquisition
as necessary ports of call and coaling sta
tens on the long route from San Francisco
to Manila.

The board of arbitration. consisting of
Messrs. w. \. Day. j. w. Midgelv and

several days hearing the arguments
of the representatives Of the in

the decision Of the arbitrator Npholds
this contention.
