WASHINGTON, March l5.-No Gre

ment in the story attributed to
Capt. Fraser of the British Army,
who stated at Vancouver, B. c., that
Admiral Dewey's health had been
broken and that he looked like dy-
ing man when Capt. Fraser saw him
at Manila. Mrs. Lee, of Richmond,
Va, a daughter of ex Senator Davis,
of West Virginia, and sister of the
wife of Senator Elkins, saw the Pres
ident recently, Just after her return
from Manila, and told him that Ad-
miral Dewey, with whom she and
her husband had dined, appeared to
be in excellent health and spirits,
although he had grown very gray.
Brigadier General Chas. A. Whit
tier Of the volunteer army recently
returned from Manila with verbal
message from Admiral Dewey to
Secretary Long in regard to the re-
ports that the Admiral wanted to be
relieved of duty in the Philippines.
Admiral Dewey said that he was in
good health, and did not want to
come back until conditions in the
Philippines had become more set
tied. He expressed to Gen. Whit
tier his fear Of attracting public at
tention if he returned home now, and
said he wanted to escape any DEM
onstrations that might be intended.

He is planning to distribute millions of packages of this starch to the housewives of America, al merely nominal price to the consumer, in order to make its merits known without de lay. Thus, for but cents two large 10c packages of Red Cross Starch may be had, together with two magnificent Shakespearean views printed in F beautiful colors, or Twentieth Cen tury Girl Calendar; or for only 20 cents 10 packages of the starch and the entire series of eight Shakespearean views and one Twentieth Century Girl Calendar-views alone easily worth S1.00. Watch this paper for future premium announcements, of which every lady will certainly want to take advantage.
 While Mir.

JOHN c. HJBINGER.
Remarkable Career of a Wel1-K own Western Capitalist, Manufact-
 urer and dPhiIanthropist.

Among the leaders of the progressive element for which the midle west is famous, Mr. John C. Hubinger, of Keo- kuk, Ia reigns without a peer. As a manufacturer. as an enterprising cap italist and as philanthropist his fame has spread over many states, and his financial enterprises have developed many obscure towns into progressive, thrifty and wide-awake cities. Mir. Hubinger, although but 47 years of age, can look back upon scores of con- mercial victories, each one of which has benefited mankind for his liberality is as bountiful as his business sagacity is marvellous. He was born ill New Or leans, La, his parents being of French and German origin. When he was four years old, his family removed to Ken lucky, in which state young Hubinger received a public school education. AL most before reaching mans estate he secured patents on a number of val7 uable mechanical inventions, thereby laying the foundation of his present fortune.
 By inclination and force of cireum- stances his attention was early direct ed to the manufacture of starch by inn proved processes, and in the course of time he became the head of concern having an annual business of millions of dollars. But genuine ambition never quite satisfied with existing con ditions, works ever toward perfection, and after years of painstalling study and research Mr. Hubinger has made
