certainly told me my life" His pre-
dictions are simply wonderful" These

Among other things he tells you
what your real disease is; diagnoses
your physical condition and instructs
you how to regain your lost vitality;
your lost health. It is a well conceded
fact that even after prominent special
lists have failed to cure. Prof. Johnstone
has returned the sufferer his health and

BIG BANKS UNITE.
The Aston Absorbs the Sixth National
of New York.

New York, Dec. 1T is announced
that the negotiations that have been
pending for some time for the absorp
ton of the Sixth National bank by the
Astor bank will be concluded today at
a meeting of the board of directors of
the former institution. In talking
about the transaction, one of the Sixth
Nationals directors said last night:
THE Astor and Sixth National banks
will become one tomorrow. The for
mer has bought out the Sixth National,
paying, it is said, $3.50 for each share.
All the accounts, together with the
corps of clerks viii be at once transfer
red to the Aston bank. The bank has
never been in a better financial posi-
ton. 1t has q. large surplus and num-
bers among its depOsitOrS some of the
largest firms up town. The transaction
will in no way interfere with its bust
ness, which will continue to be carried
on by the AstOr bank
The Sixth National bank was opened
on February q. 1864. with a capital of
$500 600, and under q charter which per
mitted its increase to $1,000, 900. The
bank was wrecked on January 80, 1890,
by Gen. P. J. Classen, president of the
bank and George H. Peu. The manner
in which it was done created at the time
a great sensation Classen and Pell
were both sent to prison.

The Growing Winter Wheat-The area
of winter wheat reported as probably
sown is 4.64O, 900 acres, which is an in
crease of about 3 per cent from last
years sowing. An increase ranging
from 1 to 20 per cent is shown in IS
counties, and 10 counties estimate no
change in their acreage. As a rule the
conditions since seeding are stated to
have been exceedingly favorable and
most promising stand and growth is at
this date beneath a beneficent blanket
of moist snow.
Corn is being contracted to feeders in
the corn territory at an average of %
cents per bushel, and well-nigh half the
crop is likely to be so marketed by jan
uary. The number of fattening cattle
is less by at least 5 per cent than one
years ago Swine of all ages show a
decrease of 2 to 3 per cent.

jim HILL DlSGUSTED.
Sells All His Northern Pacific
Holdings and Prepares to
Fight.

New York. Dec. 1.-The Herald says:
Persons usually we'll informed in re-
gard to James J. Hill's position in the
Northwestern railroad controversy. say
that a cable dispatch from Europe to
the effect that Mr. Hill and his friends
have sold all their Northern Pacific
holdings is correct
They declare that Mr.. Hill is not a lit
tie disguised over the tactics of that
company in taking advantage of the
Northern Pacific and other companies
that formed the agreement for the regu-
lation Of extensions in Washington and
contiguous territory.
Mr. Hill, they say, will now show that
the Great Northern does not propose to
be imposed upon. and they think it is
not improbable that the fight over ex-
tensions in the Northwest viii be re-
newed in lively fashion unless somebody
backs dOwn-and this won't be done by
Mr. Hill, they say.
J. PfeTpOnt Morgan. who is the direct
ing spirit of the Northern Pacific, which
caused all the trouble by projecting the
Clearwater Short Line, said that so far
as he was aware, Mr.. Hill had not
changed his attitude toward the North
ern Pacific.
Nothing has come of the recent nego-
tiatiOns between the representatives of
the several. companies for the settle
ment of their differences.

HOBSON DRAWS THE LINE.
Declines an Offer of $4,000 for a
Number of Lectures

Washington. Dec. Naval Construc-
tor Richmond Pearson HobsOn has re-
Gently refused an offer of $50. 900 from a
New York lecture bureau for a stated
number of lectures during the season.
Explaining the reason for his refusal to
a friend today, Mr.. Hobson said:
Before the sinking Of the Merrimac
my lectures would have been worth
probably not more than so cents: the
sinking Of the Merrimac seems to have
made them worth $50. 900. The work
which so suddenly raised my stock in
literary trade was done in simple exc
cution of my duty as an officer In the
American navy.
Il did not feel that had a right to
use the performance of that duty for
my financial benefit. I therefore de-
clined the offer Of $50. 000."

ASPHALT REPAIRS.
Inspection of the Pavement to Be
Made Preparatory to Mending It

superintendent Mclaughlin of the
Barber Asphalt company arrived in To
peka today from St. Joseph to make an
inspection of the asphalt pavements in
Topeka preparatory to making the nee
essary repairs.
superintendent Mclaughlin says that
the work has been delayed by the fail
ure to secure material but several car
loads have arrived and as soon as the
weather becomes favorable the work
will be commenced.
The Barber company is having no
end of trouble because of leakage in the
gas mains The officers say that the
gas main on the east side of Kansas
avenue from Second to Ninth streets
is continually leaking and that the es-
Gaping gas destroys the asphalt and
makes more repairs necessary. The
gas company will soon replace this
main with a new and larger one and
put an end to the trouble.
