OIL for the
Children.

Give them oil-cod-liver oil.
It's curious to see the result.
Give it to the peevish, fret
full child, and he laughs. Give
It to the pale, anemic child,
and his face becomes rosy and
full of health. Take a flat
chestcd child, OF a child that
has stopped growing, give him
the oil, and he will grow big
and strong like the rest.
This is not a new scheme.
1t has been done for years.
Of course you must use the
right oil. SCOTS Emulsion
is the one.
SCOTS Emulsion neither
looks nor tastes like oil because
We are so careful in making it
pleasant to take.

"Judge Gary has decided that the
Seabosrd Railroad had no right t"
lease Sidney park in Columbia by
condemnation proceedings. Here is
What the Judge says upon the sub
ject. Judge Gary sustains the con-
tention of the claimant that the rail,
road company had no right to con
demn the park with or without The
: assent of city council, unless specially
authorized by the legislature SO to de-;
that the legislature has granted no
such authority in this case; but ipHs-
much as the railroad compsny has de
stroyed the park, and it is impossible
for that property to be replaced as it
was, Judge Gary refuses to grant
the injunction prayed for and holds
that the plaintiffs may be compensa
ted in damages, and refers the mat
ter to the master of Richland county
to ascertain the amount of damages.
The plaintiffs did not ask for DANA
ees in the outset but prayed for an
Injunction. However, the proceed
ings to estimate the amount of dam
ages will DO doubt be begun at

verse as an Offset.

London, April 1o.--Lord Kitchener.
reporting to the war office under date
of Pretoria, April s, says;
"Plumer has occupied Petersburg
with slight opposition. lie captured
two locomotives and 80 trucks"
The capture of Petersburg is re-
garded here as important. The place
is the terminus f the railway and
has been the capital of the Boer gov
eminent since the evacuation of Pre-
toria. The whole northern railway is
now in the hands OF the British.
According to Lord Kitchener's dis
patch only one officer and one man
were killed. The Beers evacuated the
town during the night prior to
Plumer's arrival, after blowing up
two trucks laden with ammunition.
Lord Kitchener further reports the
capture Of 10 prisoners, so horses and
the depot of war stores at Boshmans-
kop. Orange River Colony.
AS an Offset the commandments
chief reports that a detachment of 100
men Of the Fifth lancers and imperial

fighting the British were surrounded

THE OUTLOOK FOR WHEAT.
The American Agricultural Find.
the General Average of the Crow
in Wheat to BE 05.5.

New York, April 1O.-The forth.
coming number of the American
Agriculturst Weekly will say:
Local representatives of the Ameri.
can Agriculturist's corps of observ.
ers, carefully consolidated into state
averages, show condition of wheat
higher than has been noted at this
time in the past ten years, with the
exception of 1891. The general aver
age as reported for the whole belt is
05.5, figure which represents
practically perfect prospect over the
greater part of the winter wheat
area. At the date at which CORE
spondents of the American Agricul.
turst made the observance there had
been no period of warm growing
weather sufficient to induce spring
growth, demonstrating absolutely the
extent to which Hessian fly is present.
The returns, therefore, must be quail
fled with the statement that the dis.
count shown from perfect condition
may not entirely represent the actual
damage from this cause. With the ex-
ception of a few counties in Ken
lucky, Tennessee and Ohio, no winter
killing is reported. Since March
there has been an abundance OF
moisture in all sections.
