The old man who looks ont at the
world with clear and healthy eyes cannot help
feeling great qualification at the thought that
his children have inherited from him no weak
ness nor tendency to disease. The healthy
old man is the man who has throughout his
life kept his digestion good and his blood
pure Not one in a thousand does do it.
Germs go through the healthy body without
effect Let them once find lodgment or let
them find weak spot they will develop by
the million and the blood will be full of them.
Instead of giving strength to the tissues, il
viii force upon them innutritious matter and
the man will lose flesh and the more suscep-
tble he is 10 disease. DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery is the only medicine that
absolutely and infallibly cures all blood
diseases. and almost all diseases are blood
diseases 1t isn't medicine for some one
particular so-caled disease 1t is medicine
for the whole body. 1t forces out all the
germs of disease, and replaces impurities with
rich red blood

A fire occurred at the residence of
William Savage, in Watts row Of
brick houses on East Church street,
about eight o'clock, on Saturday Of
last week. While Mrs Savage was up
stairs, she smelled something burning
and began looking around for the
cause BY this time she heard n
cracking noise, and going down stairs
found the kitchen mantel, back of the
stove, mass of fame She ran to
the front door and gave the alarm.
Neighbors hurried in and with few
buckets Of water the flames were sub
dued, but not before the mantle piece,
part Of one door and the wall and cell
ing paper had been burned. The fire
department was quickly on hand, but
their services were not needed. Mrs.
Savage is unable to account for the
fires origin, but thinks the mantel-
piece, which was alongside the stove,
and which was of yellow pine must have
caught fire from the stove. The
damage to the household goods was
slight.

authority that the Journal had about the
probable discOntinuance of the fast mail
train at the end of the contract was the
statement made by Assistant Postmaster
General Shallenberger, above referred to-
1t is general gossip among the railroa d
men that the fast mail will be diScontin-
ued at the end of the present contract. !
The Santa Fe Railroad company. OF
course, makes money the train. as the
government pays the agreed price, but
there would be far more justice in the
government sending out mail train from
Kansas City at o'clock in the afternoon
than there is in sending it out at o clock
in the morning.
So far as any demand among the people
along the Santa F'e line is concerned there
certainly is a demand for one early morn
ing train on the Santa Fe from the west
and a late afternoon train west bound.
This would give the people of Cottonwood
Falls, Emporia, Usage City, Burlingame
and other towns a chance to come to To-
peka on political, railroad or commercial
business and return to their homes the
same evening. AS it now is the first train
which arrives from the west after break
the last train of the day has gone west

are first class aside from the fast mail.

TARIFF NO BAR.
Exports From This Country to Cana
da Continue to Increase.

New York, Dec. ga special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
The new Canadian tariff does not APP
pear to have decreased exports from
the United States to the Dominion. That
measure, enacted in 1897, provided that
goods entering Canada from Great Brit
ain and her colonies should enjoy
tariff rate rs per cent less than that
collected on goods from other countries,
one half of that reduction going into
effect on August I, 1897, and the remain
der on August 1, 1898. The expectation
from the United States to Canada has,
therefore, since August 1, 1898, been
made under whatever of disadvantage
the new discriminating rates of that
tariff afford. 1t is therefore interesting
to compare the figures of the exports
to Canada since that date both with
those of corresponding months of 1897,
in which only one half of the diScrim-
mating rate was in operation and with
those of 1896, in which no discriminat-
ing rate existed.
The figures of the treasury bureau of
statistics covering the details of the
export trade are now available for the
months of August, September and Oc-
tOber. They show that during these
three months OF 1898, in which the fuli
% per cent tariff reduction in favor of
Great Britain and her colonies was in
operation, exports from the United
States to Canada were larger than in
any corresponding three months in the
history of our commerce with that
country. In fact, the exports from the
United States to Canada have never
shown more rapid gains than since the
enactment of the new Canadian tariff,
giving to imports from Great Britain
and her colonies advantages over those
from the United States.
In the first three months of it's opera
ton in 1897, in which the discrimina-
ton in favor of goods from Great Brit
ain was only 121z per cent, exports from
the United States to Canada. increased
nearly "a. 600, 900, compared with the cor
responding periods of earlier years. In
August, September and October, 1898,
however, which were under the full OPP
Grafton of the new law, the increase
over the corresponding months of 1897,
is more than $4,000 900. The total ex-
ports from the United States to Canada
in August, September and October of
the present year, under whatever of dis
advantages the new law in it's full op-
GRAFTON affords, are nearly so per cent
in excess of the corresponding months
of 1896 and practically double those of
the corresponding months of 1894.
