Chicago, Nov. 26.-During the fore
noon Monday November corn, the 10
cal visible supply of which has been
cornered by George ii. Phillips, sold
twice at 30 cents. Mr.. Phillips having
been sustained by the board commit
tee in rejecting for contract grade new
corn which had gone through a dry
ing process, and encouraged by the
small receipts of corn of a grade which
may be delivered on contracts, was
quoted as asserting his entire conf
dence that he controls the market. The
market opened 1 cent higher than the
close Saturday, the first bid being 46
cents per bushel This bid was made
by Mr.. Phillips and within an hour
and half the price went to so cents.
At this figure the young Spectator
made two sales aggregating 100000
bushels. The price bid following the
first sale at 80 cents was 49h cents,
but as no corn was forthcoming the
next bid was at the top figure. A lit
tie later Mr.. Phillips let out small
line at As cents. PIX HEF

the beginning of more serious ailments.
Drains that are at first considered chiefly
as disagreeable, will in the end drain
away the vigor and vitality of women.
The prompt use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite

There is no other put-up medicine

from dealers which has so remarkable a
record of cures as DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. When physicians have
said no cure was possible; when all
other means and medicines have utterly

United States Judge Says Congress Ex-
ceeded Its Legitimate Powers.
indianapolis, Nov. 26.-Judge Bak-
er of the United States court has made
a ruling which in effect declares in
valid a portion of the war tax law.
1t was in the case of Mary Il. Order
against William Barnard, administra-
tor of the estate of Noble Warrum.
Ferdinand Winter, an attorney for the
defense, offered in evidence a certifi-
cate of guardianship of w. Scott En-
glish, one of the witnesses to the note
which Mary Il. Order alleges was
made to her by Noble Warrum. At
torneys for Mrs. Order objected to the
introduction of the certificate on the
ground that it had no revenue stamp
attached. The objection was over
ruled by Judge Baker on the ground
that congress has no right to put tax
on judicial proceedings between the
several states.
Attorneys that were in the federal
building were much interested in the
ruling by Judge Baker and with few
exceptions expressed their approval.

Chicago, Nov. 26-The ninth an
nual meeting of the National Irrlga-
ton Congress came to a close Satur-
day night, only a small number of
delegates being present. The con-
gress decided to hold two congresses
next year, the first at Colorado
Springs, either just before or just aft
er the Trans Mississippi congress, and
the second at Buffalo in October, dur
ing the Pan-American exposition in
that city.
The resolutions adopted halls with
satisfaction the fact that both great
political parties are committed to ir-
rigation of arid lands: urges an ade-
quate money grant by congress for the
preservation of the forests, and for
reforestation where needed, together
with the construction of storage reser-
voirs to prevent floods and aid river
navigation. The work of congress so
far is commended, and that body is
urged to continue the good work.
The last day, as was the case with
every day of the meeting, was Largely
devoted to addresses and papers ON
subjects pertinent to the purposes of
tho congress.

WHAT WOMEN SAY

about the merits of DR.. Pierce's Favor.
lite Prescription is the best testimonial
to its wonderful curative power. There
is no claim made for oFavorite Pre-
scription which is not backed by cures.
Every statement made as to what this
medicine will do is supported by the
living evidence of what it has done. It
has made weak women strong and sick
women well. 1t has brought back the
roses to faded cheeks and the plumpness
to shrunken forms. 1t has given laugh
ter for tears, and Joy in life for utter
misery. What uFavorite Prescription"
has done it is doing every day.

Sick and ailing women are invited to

All communications held as sacredly

A great many women have gratefully
accepted the opportunity Of a free con-
sultation by letter with DR.. Pierce, a.
a welcome escape from the indelicate
questionings, the offensive examinations
and obnoxious local treatments, thought
necessary by some physicians. The
modest woman shrinking from these
things often lets her disease grow and
eat into her life rather than submit to a
treatment which offends her delicacy.
A letter to DR.. Pierce avoids all these
offensive practices.

Little Rock, Ark, Nov. 22.-North-
bound passenger train No. 66, on the
st. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern
railway, was held up last night near
Clifford Station, forty miles south Of
Little Rock, by five masked robbers.
A lot Of ties piled on the track and
surmounted by red light caused the
engineer to slow up, and before the
train had come to a stop the bandits
were at work with dynamite. The door
of the express car was blown open
and the express messenger, l.. ID. Av-
cry, of st. Louis, was seriously in
jured by flying timbers. Four vain
attempts were made to blow open the
through safe. Their supply of dyna-
mite being exhausted the robbers left
with only the contents Of the way safe,
amounting to about $500.
No attempt was made to rob any Of
the passengers. The express car was
literally blown to pieces. A posse Of
fifteen men left Malvern at 10 o'clock
last night and took the trail of the
robbers at the scene of the hold-up.
Governor Jones announced last night
that he will offer rewards for the cap
ture of the bandits. 1t is thought they
have fled towards the Indian territory.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they I cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
is inflamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to It's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever, nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is no.
thing but an infiamed condition of the
