Lick Springs Richard Croker expressed
a very decided opinion that Admiral
Schley would make a strong presiden-
tial candidate in 1904. and that the prob
abilities all favor a boom for him in the
east, with a strong following both in
the south and the west
He expressed the opinion that con-
gress would not interfere In the matter
in any way and that this would be to
the advantage of Schley and the Demo-
cratic party, for inaction would be tan
tamount to an Endorsement of the ma
jority verdict and thus commit the Re
publican party to it,
While he did not express himself def
nitely upon the question Of the second
place. his idea seemed to be that the
mar for the vice presidency should be
from the south and that he Mould be
one who saw service in the Cuban am

ore interests will be held until early in
of the United States Steel corporation
in favor of the maintenance of prices
on ore, Bessemer pig iron, structural
material and rails. While it is true the
steel corporation is a buyer of BeSsemer
from it could easily afford to pay SO
cents a ton additional for the small
amount of this metal it buys for the
effect the establishment of the higher
base would have upon finished material
prices, If it were disposed to advance
the latter. Thus far the United States
Steel corporation and the merchant fur
mace men producing BeSSemer, iron have
acted in a unit, holding the price at
SIS rs at furnace but at the same time
furnace men are getting so and rs cents
a ton more from outside buyers who
have spoken more quickly than the big
corporation for January n February
iron. Moreover, furnace not in the as
ISOLATION are asking the leading inter-
estS S15.75 at furnace for iron, the fnd1-
cations being that this price will be
paid if the corporation secures sufficient
outside iron for its and Feb
ruary requirements. There has been
some discussion of a proposal to adj
vance the rail price to $50, but as with
structural material the steel corporation
is reported to be opposed to such a step.
The chief matter of comment through
out the trade is the amount of the
business going on sellers books In the
closing month of the year. The atti-
tude of buyers has been changed by the
developments of the past two months

IT'S IMPORTANT.
To Know What You are Taking When
Using Catarrh Medicines,

Catarrh is the short route to consump-
ton, and the Importance OF early and
judicious treatment of catarrh, whether
located in the head. throat or bronchial
tubes, cannot be too strongly empha-
sized.
The list of catarrh cures is as long
as the moral law and the forms in which
they are administered, numerous and
confusing, from sprays, inhalers, wash
es, ointments, and salves to powders,
liquids and tablets.
The tablet form is undoubtedly the
most convenient and the most effective,
but with nearly all advertised catarrh
remedies it is almost entirely a matter
of guess work as to what you are taking
into your system, as the proprietors,
while making all sorts of claims as to
what their medicines will do, always
keep it a close secret as to what they
are.
catarrh cure, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets,
is largely because it not only cures
catarrh but because catarrh sufferers
who use these tablets Know what they
are taking into their systems. Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets are composed of Red
Gum, Blood Root and similar aluable
and a~ntiseptic ingredients, and are
pleasant to the taste and being dissolved
in the mouth they take immediate effect
upon the mucous lining of the throat,
nasal passage and whole respiratory
tract.
The cures tina Stuart's Catarrh Tab
let's nave accomplished in old chronic
cases of catarrh are little short of
remarkable, and the advantage of
knowing what you are putting into your
stomach is of paramount Importance
when it is that the cocaine
or habit has been frequently
contracted as the result Of using secret
catarrh remedies.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets meet with
cordial approval from physicians, be-
cause their antiseptic character render
them perfectly safe for the general pub
lie to use and their composition makes
them a common sense cure for all forms
of catarrhal uble
All druggists sell them at so cts. for
full sized packages.
