world he made mountains towering
into the clouds and valleys below the
level of the sea; he made lakes and
oceans; he spread out the prairies of
the West, and piled up mountains
around the valleys along the ranges
OF the Rockies and the Allcghenies.
In the oceans waters we find whales

have travelled over this country
from ocean to ocean, and from Mon
treal to Galveston annually for
twenty years. 1 have watched the
progress of events and the process
sions as they marched. / have yet
to know of single instance where
combines and trusts hurt the masses
or permanently raised the price of
any product. / am a thousand times
more willing to deal with trusts and
combines and purchase their products
than / am to put my money into
their institutions and imperil my
holdings, conscious of their want of
stability, and fearing their final
downfall.
"Of course these combinations
affect legislation, if they do not
control it in many instances, but
while they may procure legislation
in their own interest, yet they have
one eye upon the public sentiment
all the time, conscious that they can
go 80 far and no farther. Here and
there they have shut down manu-
factory and closed up an institution,
and affected some individuals, but
we are not looking from that stand
point. When we look at the 75,-
100000 of our population we say
they are only procuring cheaper and
buying for less money these products
than they could have done under
other circumstances.
"With the final disintegration of
trusts and combines--which will in
evitably come when financial disaster
and shrinkage of values shall come
of course the surplus of their pro-
ducts will be thrown upon the mar
ket, and only the stockholders in
these trusts and combines will suffer.
AS sure as that the sun shines, when
ever any institution becomes un-
wieldy because of its size and bulk,
it will finally fall of its own weight.
81 am an expansionist, and l be-
lieve that one of the causes of strin-
gency and shrinkage of values in
this country, when they occur, will
be because we have not gone out
over the seas with our products, as
we should have done. While there
is a demand for our products of the
farm and mandatory of this coun-
try, there will always be plenty of
money; but when wheat and corn
and cotton, and all kinds of manu-
factures, are drug on the market,
and no demand for them, then we
have stringenoy and hard times.
But when the highways over the
seas are laden with our products into
foreign countries, and the gold is
brought back in the ships, then we
shall flourish perennially. These
great combinations are the only pow
ers in this country that can do this
thing for us. A negro and an old
mule can make corn and cotton;
fellow with a two-hundred-d dollar
saw mill can make lumber but only
aggregations of wealth and up-to-
date appliances can do it cheaply,
and can build ships and open mar
kets for our surplus in foreign lands.n

Man 70 Have Part Of Dogs Skull.

Saginaw, Mich, April 25.-Physi.
clans of the College Hospital have
performed a remarkable operation,
that OF grating piece of dogs skull
upon human head. The patient is
John Olberg, of Kenton, Houghton
county. Heisnow recovering from an
old aftliction. Olherg's skull was frac-
tured four years ago. Over the hole,
which was an inch and a half in di-
ameter, there formed a foreign
growth. This pressed on the brain
and caused convulsions. When it
was decided to operate on Olberg,
the doctors chloroformed dog and
removed piece of its skull. The
piece taken out was then implanted
in the opening of Olberg's head.

Mandan people are enthusiastic over
the fair prospects, and are hustling to get
all the departments ready for the first
day.
Sundays gale blew down a part OF the
fence surrounding the grounds and did
some other damage to the fair property,
but this will not appear to those attend
ing, as everything will be spick and span
by the opening day.
Horsemen are beginning to arrive and
some fast races are sure to follow, as

is in perfect condition.

HE WANTED TO 60 o N

Georgia Boys Unique Excuse For
Getting Out of His Work.
One Saturday in July, says ]. a..
Hale in the Worlds Work, I came
upon a boy of fifteen or sixteen crying
as though his heart would break. In
reply to my inquiry l "a told, Mother
is dead, and I want to 60 home" OF
course, l said to him, We'll, go and
see the superintendent, and he will give
you an order on the Office" The boy
moaned, II dun see him, and he won't
let me of till bell time"
This seemed hard when one boys
work would count for so little among
several hundred, so l took him in the
buggy and hurried back to the Office,
giving an order that he be paid off
and let go at once; but l was politely
told that 1.-THE superintendent orders
are that no one is to be paid till night"
After l had insisted in rather strong
language that l might possibly be a
bigger man than even the superintend-
ent the lady assistant began a series
Of sharp questions, finally bringing out
the date of mothers" death as de

Porcelain.


The peachblow porcelain is Of Chi
nese manufacture and is about 300
years old. 1t is not, as sometimes sup
posed, the designation of a particular
shade of color, but a rare and peculiar
glaze, which not merely covers the
surface of the vessel, but penetrates
the entire texture of the article, so
that If the same be broken the internal
structure is identical with that Of the
surface. The method by which this re-
suit is reached Is unknown, and much
money has been expended in vain to
discover it. The ware is in a sense,
therefore, the result Of a happy acct
dent.
Specimens Of it are rare in China to.
day, where it is priced as highly as
anywhere else. Most of that Of which
there is definite knowledge was taken
from China by the Dutch in the days
when they monopolized the trade with
that country and from Holland has
made its way over Europe. The speci-
mems in this country have almost all
of them come either from Holland di.
rect Of by way Of France, whittier
pieces of it were early carried by the
Dutch, arousing unusual interest
among the French potters.

DEAFNESS CAN NOT BE CURED

DEAFNESS CAN NOT BE CURED
by local applications, as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an in1amed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the eusta-
chan tube. When the tube gets infam-
ed you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken o. and
this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by ca.
tarrh, which is nothing but an inf1amed
condition of the mucous surface.

An Idol With Diamond Even.

1t is q curious fact and one scarcely
known outside Of Russia, and there
hardly eve mentioned, that the ia
nous Orlof diamond was once the
right eye of the great idol Serringham
in the temple Of Brahma. This pre-
cious gem was stolen at about the be-
ginning Of the eighteenth century by a
French soldier who had made a pre-
tense of being converted to the Hindoo
religion in order to gain the confidence
Of the priests and admission to the
temple. The Frenchman first sold the
diamond for $4,000. On the next turn
It was bought by a banker Of Constan-
tinople for $4,000. The banker kept it
until 1774 and then sold it to the Rus
sian empress for zoo, 900 and a life pen
sion. The gem has been In the Russian
royal family W since. AS it is now
set in the imperial scepter Of Russia it
presents a flattened, rose cut surface
and weighs exactly 1912 carats.
