Conditions of Trade.

When verybody is asking whether
it is to be war or peace, the state of
business is not easy to judge. Prophecy
is not the function of business journal
and there are times when even the
most careful study of facts gives no
clear indication of the future. 1t is not
possible to Judge how far buving for dis
tribution or buying for consumers may
be affected for time by chances of war.
Every consumer may imagine that he
is going to wear fewer clothes and use
fewer tools and eat less food than in a
state of peace. But it is likely that he
may not. Since nobody can judge just
how wise bankers may be in an emer-
genCy, there is some uncertainty, but
thus far scarcely any stoppage whatever
of manufacturing concerns appears, nor
any indications that the producing
force is likely to be diminished, nor is
any such symptom to be seen in bust
ness reports.

CHIEF CAUSE

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
news is the chief cause of bladder trou-
bles. So the womb, like the bladder,
was created for one purpose, and If not
doctored too much is not liable to weak
ness or disease, except IN rare cases.
It is situated back of and very close to
the bladder, therefore any pain, disease
or inconvenience manifested in the
kidneys. back, bladder or urinary pas
sage is often, by mistake, attributed to
female weakness or womb trouble of
some sort. The error is easily made
and NAV be easily avoided. To find out
correctly, set your urine aside for TWEEN

Reduced Freight Rates for Settlers.


In order to encourage the movement
of settlers and land buyers from Him
OILS, Wisconsin, Iowa and the eastern
states to Western Minnesota, South
Dakota and North Dakota, the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul Ry. Co. has very
materially reduced its carload rates
for emigrant movable, so that farmers
who have purchased lands in Western
Minnesota, South Dakota and North
Dakota can take all of their belongings
with them to their new homes at small
expense, which inducement upon the
part of the Chicago, Milwaukee q St.

fitted.

Business Outlook as Reported by Schwartz,
Oupee & Co.

CHICAGO, ILL, April Is, 1898
May wheat held steady around 106 to-
day, and from the present outlook
there is not much chance of it's being
depressed.
AS the situation now stands there is
no bear party in the May option and in
July the short sellers have been so
badly treated from time to time that
they are not at all bold in their opera
tons In spite of the fact that for the
moment statistics are in their favor.
The worlds shipments for last week
were made public today and showed
much larger than had been expected.
The decrease in the visible supply was
another bear factor, being far less than
was looked for, and on these considera-
tons there was some realizing which
sent the price off at one time to S3B i
There was something of rally from the
low point, however, and the close was
with a fairly firm feeling. The govern
ment report, out today, shows the con-
ditiOn Of the growing wheat crop to be
much better than year ago, and on
this and the other circumstances in
their favor already noted the bears talk
of wheat selling at 90 cents before snow
flies in the fall,
Corn has a good manv friends just
now, but the same conditions confront
it that are opposing an advance in
wheat. The supply on hand is certainly
not small, and from present prospects
the seeding will be done under favorable
auspices. Should good crop result,
coming as it will after three successive
bumper years, it is difficult to see how
the price can be kept from receding.
Provisions are quiet but firm.

The statement of General Wheeler,
as told in our dispatches OF yesterday,
that there is still possibility that the
war with Spain may be reopened, Is
significant when taken in connection
with the recently published remarks
by President Mckinley referring 10
the clamor of the state governors for
the muster out of their troops. On
this page we reprint an editorial from
the Dallas News which states the case
exactly as we would like to state 1t.
The attitude of the president in this
matter will commend itself to ev' ~
citizen OF the United States, no matter
to what party he may belong. 1t is
pity that the mass OF citizens do not ap-
pear to be large minded enough to adj
nit that there can be any good in the
opposition. The war has brought out
more OF the truly independent spirit
than has ever before been shown in
public expression upon national affairs.
Among all the cries OF ceusure, most OF
IL undeserved, the president stands out
unscathed. aud every indication points
to the continuance of his calm, sensi-
BILE, statesmanlike treatment OF the
questions arising out OF the war. The
people can trust President Mckinley
to doright.

populist Experiment Stations.
ansas City Journal,

Kansas City Journal,
After all, there is considerable merit
in the solution of the Philippines pro-
blem offered by Nick Mayrath, the
Dodge City man. He proposes that
theaislauds be divided up among the
factions of the populist party, so that
each may be given an opportunity TO
try it's own system of government.
There are so many different kinds of
populists at the present time that 1t Is
hard to select anything satisfactory
out of the great confusion. and Mr..
Mayrath's proposal is entitled to very
serious consideration. At the state
agricultural college little plots OF
ground are set apart to test the differ
emit kinds of seeds and the new and
strange plants that have come under
observation. In this manner the good
is very quickly separated from the
bad, and the same system might apply
very successfully with the many
growths of populism. Indeed, the
more one considers the more admirable
appears the project of establishing
experimental stations
One island must be set apart for

other might be given to Leedy, with
power to keep the legislature IN per

south railroads, to fix maximum rates
for the monkey paths, and to turn all
the public treasure into his contingent
fund; another should be given in fee
simple to Webb McNall. with the
right to exclude all industries that
will not submit to black-mail: an
other must be reserved to Anna Diggs
for tine development of her theory that
q loafer is better than wOrkingman:
another should be devoted to the
fiatists, who are sure they can make
money out of wind-and there is such
q lot of wind in the Philippines, too:
another to Judge DOster, awho-but
hold-Judge Doster cannot conscien-
tiously go to the Philippines and de-
prive the using natives of rights that
are paramount to those of the owners:
another to the socialists: one for the
state-ownership fellows; one for the
anarchists :one for the sub-treasuryites
and one apiece for the hundred and
more factions which agree with none
of the others as to what really consti-
tutes good and scientific govern
ment.
And then, in some wRve-tossed re-
gion, where the rocky promontOries
reach into close communion with the
Almighty. let little bit of an island
be set aside for the fusion democrats.

at leisure whether they are men or

SICK OR WELL, A

more or less violent form, and when we
landed we had no time to see a doctors

thanks to Cham barlain 8 Collie, Cholera

in fact. | sincerely believe that at one
critical time this medicine was the in
direct saviour of our army, for if the
packers had been unable to work there
would have been no way OF getting sup
plies to the front. There were no roads
that wagon rain could use. My COM
rade and myself had the good fortune
to lay 10 Il supply of this medicine for
