Unknown to Women.

Every woman should read, without fail,
The following paragraph. She will learn
something about herself she never knew
lefore.
Thompson's Barosma is not only Won
derful kidney, liver aud bladder cure, but
has particular advantage as a remedy
for Chronic Female Weakness, Palpitation
of the Heart, bearing down sensations,
Nervous Debility, Leucorrhea or Whites,
and Dropsical Swellings. Its peculiar ad-
vantage lies in the fact that it is both a
female regulator and kidney, liver and
bladder cure. The womb is situated back
of and very close to the bladder. A woman
having any pain or distress in the back or
side, at once attributes it to female weak
ness when many times her trouble is en-
tirely from the kidneys or bladder. Hence
a woman making this grave mistake will
find a sure remedy in Barosma, for
whether she is suffering from womb dis
order or any disease of the kidneys, liver
and bladder, Rarosina will effect per-
manent cure. For this two-fold reason
Bafosma is the best woman's remedy on
the market. Thompson's Dandeloin and
Mandrake Pills should be used with the
Barosma, for the liver and constipation.
They are purely vegetable and do not
gripe.

CROP ESTIMATES.
statistician Gives Estimate of an Aver
ace Yield Of Wheat Per Acre.

age 1ield OF Wneat Fer acre.
Washington, Jan. 1.-THE statis-
tician Of the department of agricu't-
ure estimates the average yield per
acre OF wheat in the United States in
1901 at 14.S bushels as compared with
1873 bushels in 1900; 1913 bushels in
1893; 1913 bushels in 1898 and 1873
bushels, the mean Of the l'erage OF
the last 10 years.
The newly seeded area of winter
wheat is Professionally estimated at
32,000,0O0 acres, an increase of SO
per cent upon the area estimated TO
have been sown in the fall of 1900.
The newly seeded area of winter
rye is Professionally estimated st 1850
900 acres, an increase of 2.5 yer cent
upon the area estimated to have been
sown in the fall Of 1900.
The department has no reports as to
the condition Of winter wheat later
than Dec /. At that date it was S6.7
per cent of the normal, as compared
with 971 in 1900. 971 in 1889 aud
1926 in 1858.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.
Bradstreet's Report on the Condition
OF Business.

Bradstreet's Report on the Condition
OF Business.
New York, Jan. II. - Bradstreet's
says: Trade advices as reelected in
telegrams TO Bradstreet's exhibit some
irregularity, caused by weather condi-
tions or proceeding from the early
stage OF the season. Retail distribu-
tlCn OF neayy clothing, boots and shoes
and rubbers is checked by mild wealth
er but on the other hand wholesale
trade in spring goods. though still
quiet, is preparing to throw off the in.
ertia Of midwinter. Stock taking is
now completed and jobbers are antici-
pating an active spring business.
Specially good reports from the North
west. Southern trade advices are
least favorable. Cotton is 20 per cent
lower than year ago and in Louisiana
the depression in sugar is spreading.
The industries in the main continue
active, iron and steel still setting the
pace, and lumber, the textiles, boots
and shoes and machinery manufacture
ers are actively employed. The grow
ing ease of money is reflection Of
previously reported good collections.
following active trade in the late
months of last year. Bank clearings
continue to show moderate gains over
a year ago's enormous totals and rail-
way earnings likewise show growth.
Cotton goods are apparently in
strong position. Spring styles of prints
and ginghams have been opened at
eastern markets, but jobbers claim the
season is later than usual Ginghams
are, however heavily sold ahead, and
the dress goods market as whole dis
plays a very confident tone. but a
strong buying movement was encoun-
tered on the reaction and most of the
loss was regained.
The disposition to accept medium
crop estimates has grown. Exports of
yarn and clothing from this country
and from Great Britain were very
much heavier in December than the
year before. Wcolen goods mills are
actively employed, plain dress fabrics
are meeting with liberal business and
orders for mems wear are such as TO
stimulate confidence in the raw ma
terial. which is fully one half cent
higher on the week at Boston. Shoe
shipments are still largely in excess
of a year ago, though this is a stock
taking period and new business is
naturally light. No diminution Of
strength is noted in leather. though
hides are easier. An advance in price
of the finished product of from 21a as
cents per pair is considered sure to

Weather conditions have favored
lumber at the Northwest, and demand

Park Improvement.

says:
The story is unrruett' The fictitious nature

Then the same Purist- Reliable in

the public reads with much interest:

1t might be opportune now to say
that The DAILY REPUBLICAN does
not deliberately faisify through its
news columns for the sake Of in ter
esting its readers. The story re-
ferred to, came to this paper from a
reliable source, and, by the way.
appeared simultaneously in another
of the city afternoon papers.
1t was understood that some per
sons wanted the matter kept quiet
but as such request was not made
of THE DAILY REPUBLICAN the
story was printed, we believing
that the public was entitled to the
news. Moreover the aim of this
paper was not to influence Mayor
Fisher against the ordinance pro
vidlng for the purchase by the city
of the Elliott tract, the accession Of
which would admit OF the project
ed improvements, which nearly
every citizen favors, we believe,
but rather to inform the body, as
well as other citizens. of what they
may expect III the near future along
the line Of park improvement.
If the improvement IS TO cost the
city $500, 900, as the Purlst- Rel
able admits, it becomes patent to us
why the story is denied, 1t should
be remembered, however, that no
estimate Of the cost of the proposed
work was made by The DAILY Re-
