Copies of the Declaration.

Several communications have
recently reached the Philadel-
phia Record asking if the original
copy of the Declaration of indie
pendence was in existence, and if
duplicate copies could be had.
The Record says it is a rather Gu
rious fact that while facsiniles of
the declaration were common
enough several years ago, and
were largely used fer advertising
purposes, they are now very
scarce-so scarce that a Phila-
delphia collector only last week
paid $40 for one bearing the adj
vertisement Of a Western rail
road. The original document,
preserved in glass, is still to be
seen in the possession Of the de
partment Of state in Washington,
but it has become so faded as to
be nearly illegible, by reason Of
which Photographic reproduc-
ton would be valueless. James
d. Mcbride had plates made and
secured copyright to them in
1874, but these plates were later
destroyed by fire, and none are
now in existence. Consequently
the copies that have been pre-
served are constantly increasing
in value.

Mind
Impaired and Nerves
Shattered
From Excessive Mem
tai Strain.
DIR. Miles Nervine Gave
Back My Health.

1t is not always severe manual labor that
breaks down the health. Mental strain,
Sorry, anxiety, the cares of business or the
home, have an equally strong tendency
towards undermining the nervous system,
upon whose vitality the health of the BODY
depends. When you find yourself unduly
fretful, anxious, easily excitable; when your
sleep is troubled and you can get no rest; II
YOU have frequent headache, are losing your
appetite and are getting thin, you should be-
gin at once thorough course OF treatment
with Dr. Miles Nervine. There is 10 nerve
tonic so good, so sure, so safe. 1t speedily
restores the weakened nerves to healthy
action, and builds strength and tissue.
81 was raised on farm at hard labor, and
when left the farm and began preaching,
the change of occupation and excessive
study shattered my nerves and impaired my
memory. l began taking DR.. Miles Restor-
alive NeTvinc, and after using two bottles L
could see a decided improvement, and l con-
tinued until l ha used nine bottles, when l
considered myself completely cured. That
was seven years ago so that know my cure
is permanent. Ny health has been excellent
ever since. l am glad to add my testimony
to the merits of this wonderful restorative
and trust that other sufferers may receive the
same benefit from its use that have. "-REV.

Magician Herman and His Baton.

The first time Professor Alex
ander Hermann, Hermann, the
Great" who died few years ago,
went on the stage he carried a
cheap little imitation rosewood
baton, with a silver plated band
around one Of its ends. He made
a, success of it from the first, and
he got the idea firmly fixed in his
curious old head that the baton
was somehow responsible for it.
Thereafter and for more than
thirty five years he would carry
nothing else than the tawdry lit
tie toy onto the stage with him.
King Edward, of England, then
the Prince of Wales, once gave
him a handsomely carved and
gold mounted baton, and, for
special performance, he consent
ed to carry the gift. 1t happened,
for wonder, that Herman fell
down that afternoon in one of his
most complicated tricks, and he
blamed it all on the new wand.
From that time on he could never
be persuaded to start perform
ance without his old baton.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.

Chicago, April 19.-WHEAT-Weath
conditions ruled again at the opening of
the grain pits today Woeful complaints
were coming in from Kansas and NeDraS-
ka that the wheat crop was deterlorattng
rapidly for want Of rain and the weather
bureau promised nothing IN those states
for Sunday. Minneapolis pressed the price
of May wheat up 1c, northwestern receipts
were very small and cables were steady,
considering yesterdays local break May
wheat opened SsQAe to 4s1ssc higher, at
Trade was very broad the first few min
utes but there were some bears who were
taking into consideration yesterday slow
cash business and they offered stun lDer-
ally. Prices gradually eaSed on TO i414c,
and steadied- Local receipts were 40 cars
none of contract grade; Minneapolis and
for the three points OF 143 cars against l85
cars last week and 30I cars year ago. Au-
stralian shipments were 24S, 600 bushels for
the week. compared with 4t1,VJ9 bushels
the corresponding week last year.
Bullish theories prevailed and the SEES
sion closed with May strong, szQ7sc up
at T45sc.
CORN-Corn started strong with wheat,
May ssn5zc up, at 6z9s 06z1sc. ana soon al
vanced to 625sc. Shorts covered freely and
there was little stuff offered. The early
market looked as if it were sold out Ca

strong position. Afay corn sold off to 625zc-

Prospects of better movement in corn
eased prices for May to &c but the
wheat strength aided in a slight rally

OATS-Dry weather frightened bears ear

Traders were all saying that dryness at
this time of the year was more detrimental
to oats than to any other grains. Com

To CLUB women.
Mrs. Robert Burdette Talks to
Topeka Workers.
Advises Women to Get in Touch
With Current Events.

Topeka people have been laboring
under the impression for the past week
or so that Mrs Robert J. Burdette was
a myth, but they have at last been con-
WINGED to the contrary. She visited
Topeka in the flesh Friday afternoon
and addressed a large body of club
women at the Hotel Throop.
AS the wife of the great humorist
preacher Mrs. Burdette would be well
coined anywhere, but in Topeka she
was welcomed for her own personality
and her ability as a literary and club
woman To quote Mrs. Burdette she IS
club woman who believes in tagging
her husband around and it is due to
this in large measure that she is SO
well qualified to talk on the club ques-
tion, as she has visited clubs of all ma
lions.
Even better than this, she has kept
closely in touch with the clubs of the
United States. For years she has been
identified with the California clubs. She
and built club house for it, and for
two years she was president of the
California state federation, which is one
Of the strongest organizations in the
natloIiat Ieaeratlon- Two years ago she
attended the biennial in Milwaukee,
bearing with her an invitation to the
great body to hold the next biennial in
Los Angeles, and since the acceptance
she has been called the biennial host
ess." And now her name has been pro-
posed for the national president, but
she is enthusiastically working for
some Of the other delegates, and the
California club women say little, for
though they wish her to be elected they
do not wish to take advantage of their
position as hOstesses.
Mrs. Burdettes opening remark yes
terday afternoon called forth round
OF applause and laughter, though there
was really nothing funny about It, She
said. Ladies. I am here" and followed
with an explanation and an apology
for her nonap pearance last week. And
yesterday when she found that she was
to be in Kansas City. doing what
every woman does after she puts on
long dresses, and before, waiting for a
husband" she determined to spend the
day in Topeka
Mrs. Burdette sets a high standard
for club women, and every woman who
heard her yesterday was inspired with
higher ideals in her club work and if
the clubs lived up to her ideal the

Is a Mistake-Will Not Leave.

It has been reported that E w Ben
edict will soon leave for California to
make his home there. Mr.. Benedict says
he visited California last month on a
pleasure trip and like most people who
visit that state was pleased with it, but
his interests are all here and he has
never seriously entertained a notion TO
move there any way before he has be-
cone retired. He says this is the best
place to do business and make money
for any one but a capitalist and he ex-
poets TO remain in the harness here un-
til he is ranked in that class and then
he would be pleased to at least spend
his winters there.
