No Right TO Ugliness.

The woman who is lovely in face,
form and temper will always have
friends, but one who would be attrac-
tive must keep her health. If she is
weak, sickly and all run down, she
will be and irritable. If she
has constipation or kidney trouble,
her impure blood will cause pimples,
blotches. skin eruptions and Il weetch-
ed complexion. Electric Bitters * the
best medicine in the world to regulate
stomach. liver and kidneys and to
purify the blood. 1t gives strong
nerves, bright eyes, smooth, ~velvety
skin, rich complexion. 1t will make
a good-looking, charming woman of a
rundown invalid. Only soc at |. Ben

The government report on the con-
dition of crops, issued on August 10,
created a diversion in favor of bulls
in the wheat market. Prices previous
to its publication had been inclined
downward, but they recovered their
level on the publication of this report.
The government estimates of the yield
of winter and spring wheat make their
combined shortage, compared with
the official hgures of the previous
year, 175, OOO, 900 bushels. There is
no suggestion Of low prices for wheat
in these figures.

TO BLOW UP THE MAINE.
Wires Found Which May Have
Been Used for the Purpose of
WreCking Warship.

Havana, March 2O.-Capt. T. L. Hus-
ton. volunteer engineers, was questioned
today by a correspondent Of the ASsO-
ciated press, on the subject of the story
printed by a local newspaper at Cincin-
natl, O., saying that the location of the
keyboard by which the United States
battleship Maine was blown up i'll Ha-
vana harbOr on February -. 1898, had
been found by him in a gunroom Of the
Fuerza prison, while engaged III cleaning
out the forthcationS.
The captain said the use of his name
in this connection was not authorized.
He showed the correspondent q cable
with several wires running into the har-
Dor from Fuerza prison, opposite Cabanas
fortress. One wire was connected with 81
disused telegraph instrument III neighbOr~
ing government building. Though the
cable has not been investigated by the
United States engineers, the suppOsitiOn
is that i runs to CabanaS, across the
harbor, and has been used for telegraph
ing.
There IS a remote chance that the
wires in the cable were connected with
mines or torpedoes but there is no indi-
cation that it had anything to do with
the blowing up of the Maine.
The end of the cable sticking out of
the Fuerza prison has been seen by tour
lists for weeks past. Many soldiers have
also seen the cable and may have ex-
pressed the belief that it was used to
blow up the Maine.
