Wireless Telegraphy.

It is said that successful expert
ments have at last been accom-
plished in wireless telegraphy,
and this would undoubtedly be a
good thing, and revolutionize
many ways of doing business.
One writer has gone SO far as to
say that wireless telegraphy is the
greatest discovery of the age. We
beg to differ. Don't overlook
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters when
you talk about the great things of
the world. This peerless medi-
cine has done more to promote
health and settle stomach troubles
than any other medicine in exis-
tence. It cures dyspepsia, indi-
gestion, malaria, and constipation.
It never fails. Try it, and be sure
and get the genuine, with private

bottle. Don't let the druggist

The Macrum case is over. Mac
rum is dead issue. w. p.
Curtis, the Chicago Record CORES
pondent, says: The investigation
was failure SO far as the hopes
of the Democrats were concerned
for they expected to disclose some
kind of a sensation for campaign
purposes. Mr.. Macrum is a
pricked bubble and his little term
Of notoriety has expired. The
real reason for his desertion of his
post at Pretoria at least the rea-
son he has given to his nearest
friends was his fear that his wife
and baby might suffer if Pretoria
was besieged by the British army
and it was certainly commendable
solicitude on his part. Mrs. Ma
crum would not leave Pretoria
without her husband. If he. re-
mained at his post Of duty she in
sisted upon sharing whatever
dangers he might be compelled to
endure, and rather run any risks
as the penalty Of such devotion he
applied to the state department
for leave of absence, which was re-
fused him. If Mr.. Macrum had
been candid he would have had
the sympathy Of many people, but
in order to cover his real motive
he assumed an air of Importance
and mystery and talked about dis
closures and valuable information
that could not be trusted to the
mails and even assumed to be an
emissary from the Beers to the
United States in the interests of
peace and arbitration. These pre-
tentions were soon exposed, and
the young man attempted to re-
venge himself upon the depart
ment and make political issue of
himself.

NEW PUERTO RICAN BILL.

The majority of nine by which

Senators Davis, Nelson, Proctor,

who stood out for free trade to
the last. Even if this measure
were certain Of passage in the
