Clever Trick.

It certainly looks like it, but there IS
really no trick about it. Anybody can
try it who has Lame Back and Weak
Kidneys. Malaria or nervous troubles. We
mean he can cure himself right away by
taking Electric Bitters. This medicine
tones up the whole system. acts as a
stimulant to Liver and Kidneys. is a
blood purifier and nerve tonic. Il cures
Constipation. Headache. Painting Spells,
Sleeplessness and Melancholy. It is purely
vegetable, mild laxative. and restores
the system to its natural vigor. Try Elec-
trio Bitters and be convinced that they
are miracle worker. Every bottle guar

CATTLE.

The cattle market ruled steady with
only a nominal supply and hardly enough
TO make a quotable market. There was a
ST ffcall for about all the grades OF stock
and butcher cattle would have sold right
along had there been more in. The cattle
trade of late seems 10 go in spurts with
only q few days now and then which rec
ord falling of in receipts As TO strength
of the market it has been good for a long
time, remaining steady when some other
points show a decline The demand is
good all the time and many more can be
used than are arriving.

THEIR PROGRESS
IS SATISFACTORY.
Peace Commissioners Have Not
Reached the Philippine Question.
VIII Not Assume Debts.

WASHINGTON. Oct 1.-THE Peace
Comissioners IN Paris so far from reach
ing a point Of absolute variance on the
question OF the Philippines. have not as
yet taken up that subject FOR considcra-
tion. The commission, whenever meeting
jointly. has been engaged entirely with
three questions TO the complete exciu-
sion OF the Philippines These questions
related entirely Go Cuba. Porto Rico and
Guam and according 10 the very
last reports from the American commits
sioners TO Washington. they are still
under consideration.
The United States Will not assume
the Indebtedness as the result Of the
cession or release OF cuba or Porto Rico.
II was fully expected by the authorities
that the Spanish contingent on the Peace
Commission would make a strong effort to
