oUN's REVIEW.
Thanksgiving Means More Than For
Thirty Years.


NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-R. G. Dun s.
Co.'S weekly review Of trade says:
Thanksgiving in 1898 means more than
for 80 years. The Harvest Home has
never recognized larger crops on the
whole In this country. and the general
prosperity is attested by the largest
volume OF business ever recorded.
The industries are doing remarkably
well. considering hindrance until Of late
by unreasonable weather. with storms
and cold many branches now get larger
orders. There has been more liberal
buying Of cotton goods. in part because
of last weeks reductions in bleached
goods A shade more decline-2ih cents
per pair-in split and kip boots shows
the effect of persistent refusals by job
bers to buy largely in advance Of their
neeGs. Their orders are enough to keep
many works busy, though others are
idle. In the end all interested will be
served by making orders and produc-
ton accord more closely in time with
consuming demand and depend more
nearly in quantity upon final dlstrihu-
ton.

A lively controversy is raging in
Berlin just now as to where the money
is to come from 10 defray the cost Of
the llaiser's approaching visit TO
Jerusalem. Even though his majesty
is to go as a Cooks tourist, the ex-
pense entailed by the expedition will
be very considerable; and, as all the
world knows, the imperial privy purse
is by no means too well filed at the
present time. There is a rumor that
the kaiser may ask subjects to come
to his assistance in the matter; and
in consideration of the advantages
that may accrue to the empire from
his stay in the east, add to his civil list
a special grant in aid this year. If he
be well advised, however, he will
think twice7-nay even thrice before
doing anything Of the kind. for. iudg-
ing by the tone in which the subject
is being discussed, his chance OF OBJ
tanning a single pfennig is nil. no mat
ter how persausively DR.. Won Miguel
may plead for him. Indeed, bitter
complaints are already TO be heard
on all sides as to the way the civil list
has increased in these latter days.
The present kaiser's income is more
than twice as large as that which the
old kaiser had; and yet he is always
in sore need of money, to the infinite
dsmay Of his cheese-paring Prus-
slams, who cannot conceive what he

Mr.. and Mrs. Campbell Thompson run the
historic Cuyler House at Plymouth Ill. "a hos
telry where Abraham Lincoln often slept,
where Dick" Yates, Lyman Trumbell and
Richard Oglesby bought refreshments for the
inner man in ante-bellum days, and from the
veranda Of which Stephen A. Douglas de-
Ivered one of his great speeches.
This article has not SO much to do, how
ever, with this historic hotel, as it has with
the landlords thirteen-year-old laughing,
bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked daughter Ollie.
As one sees her to-day, the picture of per-
feet health, it is hard to believe that nearly
nine of the thirteen years of her life were spent
on the bed of invalidism, that for months she
never walked, and for years suffered the pain,
misery and distress of intiammatory rheuma-
tism in its worst form.
Able physicians were employed but no
permanent benefit resulted.
Mrs. Thompson heard of q wonderful cure
which had been effected by DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People, and was influ-
enced by it to purchase some of the pills for
her daughter.
Before she had taken half box, there was
marked Improvement In her condition; when
she had taken two boxes she was completely
restored to health. To-day, there is not a
healthier child than Ollie Thompson.
The case came to the attention of the editor
Of the Tri- County Scribe, and a reporter was
detailed to learn the story of this remarkable
cure from Mrs. Thompson's own lips. She
said:
"Ollie was hearty, well-developed child
from the time she was born until she was
three years old. In 1887 she was taken down
with infammatory rheumatism. For nine
years she was never entirely free from the dis
ease, and much of the time was i'm an alarm

and her spine was drawn out of shape so that
