Charles A. Towne of Minnesota, for
merly Republican, but now a Bryanite
Democrat, will for few weeks fill the va
cancy in the United States Senate caused
by the death of Senator Davis, having been
appointed by Governor Lind. When the
Minnesota legislature meets on Jan. 8 a
Republican will be elected to fill the unex-
pired term. Towne was the vice presiden-

held at Sioux Falls, but he retired in favor
of Stevenson.

Stranger even than the fiction of Ibsen,
in which the most gruesome and revolving
possibilities of life are exploited, is a news
story that was sent from Omaha on Satur-
day night, about the elderly man who, hav-
ing accepted a friends invitation to a
meeting with two women in a resort that
is euphemistically described as "Bohe-
man." found himself at the trystlng place
face to face with his two daughters, and
who thereupon turned upon the friend and
shot him, inflcting a wound that will
probably cause death.

Mr.. Major, the famous cement man Of
New York, explains some very interest
ing facts about Majors Cement.
The multitudes whe use this standard
article know that it is many hundred per
cent better than other cements for which
similar claims are made, but a great
many do not know why. The simple
reason is that Mr.. Major uses the best
materials ever discovered and other
manufacturers do not use them, because
they are too expensive and do not allow
large profits. Mr.. Major tells us that
one of the elements of his cement costs
1915 pound, and another costs S265 a
gallon, while large share Of the so call
ed cements and liquid glue upon the
market are nothing more than sixteen
cent glue, dissolved in water or citric
acid, and, in some cases. altered slightly
In color and odor by the addition of
cheap and useless materials.
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents
and twenty-five cents bottle, and when
dealer tries to sell substitute you can
depend upon it that his only object is to
make larger profits.
The profit on Majors cement is as
much as any dealer ought to make on
any cement. And this is doubly true in
view of the fact that each dealer gets his
share of the benefit of Mr.. Majors adj
vertising. which now amounts to over
$4,000 month throughout the country,
Established in 1876.
Insist on having Majors. Do not &C
cept any off hand advice from druggist.
If yon are at all handy (and you will
be likely to find that you are good deal
more so than yon imagine) you can re-
pair your rubber boots and family shoes
and any other rubber and leather arti
5les with Majors Rubber Cement and
Majors Leather Cement.
And you will be surprised at how
many dollars year you will thus save.
If your druggist can't supply you, it
will be forwarded by mail; either kind.

PREFERENTIAL TARIFFS.
Effect on the Trade Between Canada. Eng
land and the United States

Effect on the Trade Between Canada. Eng
land and the United States.
Washinton, Oct. 6.-United States
Consul Brush, at Niagara Falls, Ont
has made a report to the state depart
ment upon the effects of the Canadian
preferential tariff. In 1896 tariff of
25 per cent. in favor of English-as
against American-products was i'm
posed in Canada, and recently this was
increased to 33 Is per cent. The con-
sui says the effect of the increase upon
the United States will not be very
noticeable, because Canada imports
from the United States in 100 lines and
from England only in four.
Under the % per cent. preferential,
by reason of increased activity, the
United States exports actually in
creased $61 100000, to $1O1 100000 in
1899, or nearly three times the total
British exports to Canada. The Brit
ish are reaping substantial benefit,
and are favoring Canada in return
wherever possible, so that Canadian
exports to Great Britain have increased
so per cent. Now Canada wants free
trade in food supplies with England,
which would be a serious blow to the
United States, but the consul thinks
this danger is remote.

CAPTURED PARTY DISAPPEARS

Taken by Filipinos.
Manila, Oct. 9.-The report Of the
capture of about sixty men of the
Twenty ninth United States infantry
on Martinique island is confirmed
through communications received by
Macarthur and Kempff from Marin
duque island, but details are lacking.
The Yorktowns relief column landed
at Torrijos, on the Martinique coast,
and marched to Santa Cruz, which was
the proposed route of the captured
party without encountering the enemy
or learning anything regarding the
captives except that they had entirely
disappeared.
Martinique is small island with

that the rebels have conveyed the
