PROSPERITY AND PRICES.

The advocates Of the free coinage of
silver are credited with having been
wrong in most things but on one point
It has been demonstrated that they
were right They said that an increase
in the currency of the country would
bring higher prices and that high prices
and prosperity go hand in hand. No
evidence is needed to prove that a gen
eral and high degree of prosperity
prevails. r. G. Dun & Co.. whose state
ments will scarcely be called in cues
ton furnish the evidence on the prices.
They say:
If man purchased his supplies for
one year on December 1 they would
have cost S10137, while the same guam
titles of the same articles would have
aggregated $72.45 on July 1, 1897. the
lowest point on record and s12175 on
January 1, 1860. These price records
are compiled by multiplying the quota
rons of all the necessaries of life by the
per capita consumption. Prices are now
at the highest point in many years. and
In fact surpass all records since pres
ent improved methods of manufacture
and distribution have been in use and
agricultural operation were first begun
on the present extensive scale with la
bor-saving machinery"
steady and persistent decline then it
will be known that prosperity is about
to take a recess.

Indianapolis Journal: 1t takes ten
tons of beets to make a. ton of sugar,
and ten tons is the yield of an acre
Therefore, to raise as much sugar as
the people of this country consumed in
1900 (2,220, 600 tons) would require 2,220.-
600 acres of land. 1t is admitted that
three men or women, largely women in
Europe. are needed to cultivate an acre
of beets during the growing season. If
this estimate is correct, $780, 900 men
and women would be needed to raise
the sugar consumed in 1904 number
equal to more than one-eleventh of our
population. In view of these figures of
experts. it does not seem that the beet
sugar interest in this country should be
alarmed if the duty on raw sugar
should be reduced 25 per cent, since it
is not possible that the acres and the
men needed to produce the sugar of the
country can be diverted from other in
dustries for years to come.

WHAT GOES UP
Must Come Down.

Nothing is more certain than that the
use of so-called tonics. stimulantS and
medicines, which depend upon alcohol
for their effect, is injurious to health in
the long run.
What goes up must come down and
the elevation of spirits, the temporary
exhilaration resulting from dose of
medicine containing alcohol, will GER
tainly be followed in few hours by a
corresponding depression to relieve
which another dose must be taken.
In other words, many liquid patent
medicines derive their effect entirely
from the alcohol they contain.
Alcohol, and medicines containing 1t,
are temporary stimulants and not in
any sense true tonic. In fact is is
doubtful If any medicine or drug is a
real tonic
A true tonic is something which will
renew, repleniSh. build up the exhaust
ed nervous system and wasted tissues
of the body, something that will enrich
the blood and endow it with the proper
proportions OF red and white corpuscles,
which prevent or destroy disease germs.
This is what a real tonic should do,
and no drug or alcoholic stimulant will
do it.
wholesome food, thoroughly digested
Every particle of nervous energy, every
minute muscle, fibre and drop of blood
is created daily from the food we di-
gest.
The mere eating of food has little to
do with the repair of waste tissue but
the perfect digestion of the food eaten
has everything to do with it.
The reason so few people have perfect
digestion is because from wrong habits
of living the stomach has gradually lost
the power to secrete the gastric juice
peptones and acids in sufficient guam
tity.
To cure indigestion and stomach
troubles it is necessary to take after
meals some harmless preparation which
will supply the natural peptone and
diastase which every weak stomach
lacks, and probably the best prepara-
ton of this character is Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets, which may be found in
every drug store, and which contain
in pleasant, palatable form the whole
some peptone and diastaSe which nature
requires for prompt digestion.
One or two of these excellent tablets
fermentation and acidity and insure
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are equal
1y valuable for little children as for
adults, as they contain nothing harm
full or stimulating but only the natural
digestives-
One of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will
digest 1900 grains of meat eggs or
other wholesome food, and they are in
every sense a genuine tonic because
they bring about in the only natural
way restorative of nerve power, a
building up of lost tissue and appetite,
in the only way it can be done, by
the digestion and assimilation of whole
some food.

Famous Stone Mansion Goes Up
in Smoke.
Fire Breaks Out This Forenoon
From unknown Cause.
USED AS ROAD HOUSE.
Recently Has Been Notorious AS

Much of the Furniture Was
Saved by Neighbors.

Stones Folly" known as Harry
Croft'S road house, one mile west of
Washburn college, was totally de-
stroyed by fire this morning at II
O'Clock The origin of the fire is un-
known
Stones Folly" is the name applied
to the mansion built at a cost of about
$4,000 in boom days by a wealthy Eng
Hshman named Stone. 1t was acquired
by the American Bible society on d
mortgage, and was early this spring
sold to Harry Croft and turned into a
road house. 1t has figured conspicuous
ly in a number of raids.
The fire was first discovered by Mrs
Croft and another woman, who were
in the building alone. 1t started in a
room over the kitchen in the northwest
portion of the building, which was two
stories high.
When Mrs. Croft discovered the
flames she became frightened and ran
two blocks to the residence of Robert
Stone. where she found w. "A. Frazier,
a brother of Mrs Stone, working in the
yard. He together with Henry Barker.

The first thing we attempted to do,
said w. A. Frazier to a reporter for

alarm to the city fire department We
could hardly find the telephone. Mrs
Croft was so frenzied she was nearly
out of her mind, and could tell us moth
ing we round the telephone, however,
and sent in the alarm.
Next we hurried to the room on the
upper floor, where the flames were begin
ming to spread, and closed the DOORS
thereby combining the flames to the room
for time.
I'VE succeeded in carrying all the fur
niture from the rooms on the first floor
