The Republican party of Nevada
asked for the support of farmers and
Stockholders on the ground of the high
prices their products now control,
brought about by Republican prosper

brought about by the high protective
tariff. People must be forgetful and
undiscerning to take any stock in the
argument. just before the Spanish
war, and after two years of the Ding
ley tariff-being the present tariff
stock cattle In Nevada sold for as low
as 50 per head, and hay for $3.50 per
ton or less in the stack. Horses were
sold for as low as 80 cents per head
that very year. War broke out be-
tween the United States and Spain,
and between England and the South
African Republics and agents broke
into the United States and secured
the country for horses and foodstuffs,
clothing, shoes, etc., and everything
went up by bounds. Now, was it the

the rise, they must shoulder the credit

such things, cost from % cents to $40
each. and they are made in various
sizes, from tiny compasses half an inch
or less in diameter up to those of about
the size of 4 hunting case watch.
MANY compasses are carried in nick

open compasses are carried for n charm
on watch guards.
In the cheaper pocket compasses the
needle turns on brass bearing; in the
costlier compasses on n bearing of

will point north, but the compass with
the agate bearing will wear much Ion

CANCER CURED BY PLASTER
Application Proves Successful on
MINI Eighty-seven Yenrs Old.

MAN EASAty-seNen 4 ears OAus
Edward Beebe. eighty-seven years
old and a resident of Derby, Conn, for
nearly half century, has been cured
of cancer. The cancer first appeared
on his nose many years ago. y year
ago it began to increase in size and be-
came painful. His condition became so
bad that physicians said his death
would ensue within Il few weeks.
About Il month ago, when Mr.. Beebe
was believed to be dying and after
many forms of treatment had been
tried unavailingly, the plaster appIica-
ton was suggested and decided upon.
The plaster was applied to the nose.
Two weeks later the plaster came off
and the cancer with it, says the New
York Press. Mr.. Beebe is up and about
and says the pain has gone and he
feels as well rs n man of his age could.
The same treatment is being tried on
two other Derby persons afflicted with
cancer.

Three women had come into the
street car at different intervals with
babies of different intervals. The first
baby was a lusty child with nerve test
ing lungs. The second was about a
year old. and the mother, just little
bit embarrassed at the bachelors
glares, finally gained courage to take a
bottle from n grip and plug up baby's
mouth with rubber neck. The third
baby was the newest of them all and
entered the car a mere white bundle in
the arms of dignified matron hardly
out of short skirts.
Beginning to unwrap the bundle,
which had been somewhat disarranged
in the haste TO embark, the proud
mother first unfolded cunning pair of
blue worsted booties that might fit
grumpy old bachelors thumb. Then,
feeling the eyes of the world upon her,
she showed baby's two fat legs, which
were as pink as her own ears. Then
the cunning sight was solemnly shut
from all eyes by a procession of gowns
all of white, laced, tucked, embroidered
and plain, the fat legs kicking vigor
ously, and baby's laces hid them from
sight.
Then the little mother sat the bundle
upright and threw a soft cloak from
the other end, disclosing n round face,
n Dair of blue ewes wide omen in amaze
ment and as pretty and baldheaded
baby from end to end as ever made a
bachelor angry at his own lost oppor-

A very silent old woman was once
asked why it was she had so little to

given her once more she would never

ANTI.FRIAR DEMONSTRATION.


Manila, July 26.-The municipal
government has been informed that
plan is on foot to make an anti
friar demonstration here Sunday.
The demonstration will probably
consist of procession and cries
against the friars, but no violence is
anticipated. The police have been
instructed to prevent rowdyism.
A severe typhoon swept over the
island of Luzon, between the thir-
teenth and eighteenth parallels. 1t
was central on the eastern coast
and fears are expressed that it has
inflicted heavy damage.
Cholera, which had been diminish
ing for a week, suddenly increased
to rs cases in Manila Thursday, the
largest since the outbreak. 1t was
feared that the city water was in
fected, but an analysis shows that
it was not polluted. The removal
of the quarantine on fruits and veg
etables possibly accounts for the re-
newed outbreak.
The cigarmakers' lockout contin-
ues. The manufacturers refuse to
make the wage concession and a

COMMERCIAL REPORT.
Crop Conditions Improved and Confidence
In Fall Trade Increased-Ir and
Steel Active.

New York, July 26.-Bradstreet's
commercial report says: Crop con-
ditions, particularly as to corn and
cotton, have further improved, and
the confidence in fall trade shows
no diminution, but rather an in
crease. The best advices come, as
heretofore, from the northwest and
southwest. Among the industries,
iron and steel are easily first in ac-
tivity, and relief from the so-called
pig iron famine is sought in freer
importations. The fruit season is
now in full swing and sugar con-
sumption is at its full and promises
to be very heavy. Produce is still
high, despite lattering crop pros
poets. Oats has suffered the pre-
dicted squeeze and reached the
highest price of generation. Range
cattle and Texas hides have sur
passed all records. On the other
hand the cereals, cotton and hog
products, rejecting the improved
crop reports, are lower.
Crop reports to Bradstreet's are
especially good from the southwest,
where corn and cotton have been ia
vored by good growing weather.
