OF the heavy railway consultations and

than last year and s5 better than in 1895,
showing the best month in six years. at

promising.
The output Of pig iron in February was

the largest steel concerns. nevertheless.
means decision by the ablest manufae-
turers that the unprecedented output Of
pig will soon prove too small for the
growing demand for the finished pro-
duct. The Illinois Steel Company has
contracted for a million tons OF bessemer
ore and the producers OF other ranges
count upon an advance in prices. Bes-

striking feature in this, as in iron and
other industries. and implies heavier de-

Portland, Or, Feb. 1.-THE pupils OF
the public schools today listened to ad-

and sang songs Of liberty and patriotism
and in many ways expressed their SYM

an added interest was given to them for
the children by the privilege which was
accorded them of taking part. An inter-
esting feature OF the exercises was the
awarding of prizes for essays on Cuba, Z"
a large number of which were written.

There seems to be quite discus
sion going on over the probable
seating or not seating of Representa-
tive Roberts of Utah. 1t seems
he is a considerably married man,
being the proud possessor of some
three or four wives, There prob
ably is not much use of making any
kick about little matter of that
kind; poor fellow, he probably has
had sufficient punishment already
by reason of having been maintain
ing three or four women under one
roof, each with the same rights. II
IS about all a Kansas man can man
age to do to buy ribbons, etc, for
one woman, and when it comes to
furnishing numbers it must draw on
the purse strings. After all, this
thing must have its pleasures. How
agreeable it must be for the lord of
the mansion to come in of an even
ing and be met at the door by a
half dozen ladies, each anxious to
Guido the other in attentions to her
lord and master. One could take
his hat, another his coat, while one
would bring his slippers, and anoth-
err could bring him chair, and all
unite in making him comfortable
and happy. 1t will be quite con
venience to a Congressman. He
can maintain two establishments
with but little extra cost. He need
not take all his wives with him to
Washington; say he only takes one
and fixes up for light housekeeping.
The others could stay at home and
look after the COWS and pigs and
chickens during the sessions, and
when he goes home during vacations
lie could leave his Washington wife
in charge and still have several wives
to look after his personal wants
while he is sounding the pulse Of his
constituents. Utah has been admit
ted to Statehood with this institu
ton of polygamy not extinct. and
it is little like the whiskey ques-
ton: it is rather hard to down
where public sentiment is not OPP
posed.

A historic character breatheC
his last in Washington City Sunday
morning Dec. II. General Calixtc
Garcia, of Cuban fame, who was
sent to Washington as a leader of q
delegation of prominent citizens Of
Cuba to confer with President Nc
Kinley on the Cuban policy, was
attacked by pneumonia soon after
reaching this country and Sunday
morning he died. He had been
irrational for some time and imag-
ihed himself arranging his army for
a battle with the Spanish. General
Garcia was born in Cuba in 1889 of
good parentage and could have liv-
ed a life of ease but he chose rather
to devote his life and energies to the
liberation of his country from the
Spanish joke. He was an educated
cultured man. In 1868 he engaged
in the Cuban rebellion and has been
either in Spanish prisons or engaged
in war or intrigues for the freedom
of his country ever since. He has
raised large family of children,
several of whom are married. 1t
seems hard that General Garcia
should be taken after lifetime
spentin fighting for noble cause,
just as the victory was won and he
was ready, crowned with glory and
the respects of his country men, to
enjoy the full fruits of his life work.
But, like the immortal Lincoln,
when his life work was accomplish
ed he was called away and not all
owed to Participate in the fruit there
of. Doubtless it was for the best,
yet we cannot now understand why.
The name of Garcia will ever be
revered by the Cuban, and his mem
DRY will be cherished as one of the
worlds heroes. All honor to him
and prosperity and happiness to the
people he has been chiefly instru-
mental in freeing from the oppress-
ors yoke.

Broom Com.

The cat is out. A big broom
corn deal has been consumated at
sterling whereby all the dwarf brush
of any consequence in that territory
and Oklahoma has been bought up
by Robert Findlay & Co. of that C ty.
1t now dawns on the whisk manuf-
actnrer and the farmer CATER it is
too late) that Messrs. Findlay and
Co. have a corner on whisk corn
and are holders of large amount
of the standard.
There is now no telling where the
price for whisk corn will go, and
standard is bound to advance
rapidly.
We notice by the Arocola Record
that standard corn sold in that dis
trict last week at $500 and farm
ers were later refusing offers of $50.
The few farmers who have taken
our hints ald held on to their corn
are going to make big money there
by.
We contended early that there
had not been time for years when
there was such a chance for sPecu-
latlon in broom corn and such de
mand for speculation.
The stuff was dragging along at
ruinous prices in the face of the
fact that the old stores were about
used up and the new crop was very
light. All the market needed was a
little money and nerve earlier in the
season and the farmers would have
got the benefit Of tie rise instead
of the factory men and few spec
ulatOrs.

trouble there was a United States
Senator who was troubled somewhat
as Bryan has been with an excessive
amount of lip. He very strongly
advocated the acknowledgement of
Cuban independence, he hailed from
somewhere down in the sunfsh hills
of southern Ohio. Like Bryan, he

by announcing in advance that he

Twenty-Five Years Constant Use With
out Failure.
The first indication of Group is
hoarseness, and in a child subject to
that disease it may be taken as sure
sign of the approach of an attack.
Following this hoarseness is peculiar
rough cough. If Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is given as soon as the child
becomes hoarse, or even after the
croupy cough appears, it will prevent
the attack. 1t is used i'll many thou
sands of homes in this broad land and
never disappoints the anxious moth
ers. We have yet to learn of single
instance in which it has not proved eff
tectual. No other preparation can
show such record-twenty-t five years
