The Fuel of the Future.

This question has been worrying
many people who fear that the coal
supply is being exhausted, but there
is no need to worry, however, as a sub
stitute has been discovered in petrol
cum. In nearly all of Natures pro-
ducts we find hat az soon as one ma
terial becomes scarcer another is dis
covered to take it's place. There is one
exception, and that is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. 1t is Natures own
remedy for all stomach, liver and bowel
complaints, and during the past fifty
years it has been impossible to make
a better medicine. 1t cures indigestion,
dyspepsia, constipation, nervousness
and malaria, fever and ague. If you
have never tried it do so today. 1t
help but do you good. Our

A DISASTROUS POLICY.

No compromise seems to be the
Republican slogan in Congress. Rec
fprocity is doomed, so far as this ses-
sion is concerned.
reciprocity treaties mean to American
commerce? Russia has shown what a
foreign country can do by cutting off
a demand for Sc, 900, 900 or $4,000, 900
worth of exports from this country.
Germany is maturing a scheme
whereby American manufacturers will
lose a market that has been entered
despite the protests of Germans. BIZ
cycles will have to pay six times more
duty than heretofore; the tariff on
shoes has been raised so per cent n
ON wagons, pumps, moving machines,
etc, the increase is about 100 per cent.
Though this schedule is not final, the
German Minister of Finance has nam
ed the rates as the basis on which new
commercial treaties will be drawn.
Not much for the United States in
that. The Foreign Relations Commit
tee of the Senate now has a treaty
with France lying on the table because
the Republicans will not take action
thereon. Mr.. Mckinley was an ar
dent advocate of the schedles proposed
in the convention. e spoke of it as
4 magnificent bargain for this coun-
try, because of the fact that France
made an average reduction of As per
cent on 635 items of the 654 items men
toned in their schedule, while the
United States made an average de-
grease of z per cent on 126 items out

Because a family of mice recently took

department of the railway the most ser-
Gus trouble ii has encountered in months.
For three days the roads big duplex tele-

Ii was on the morning of Jan. that the

Then there came halt. The tickers

line to get the familiar ticking response
failed and trouble order" was entered.
Rush orders to linemen followed and the
regulation method of testing lines followed.
In time came the knowledge that no lines
were down and a still hunt for trouble in
the office was started. In the midst OF
this an operator struck the keys Of the
duplex and found il working perfectly.

FARMERS BREED WOLVES.
Nebraska stock Raisers Find Them
More Profitable than Hogs.

Lincoln CNeb) Special
The large number of claims coming into
the state auditors office for bounties on
wolves and coyotes has led 10 the discovery
that some farmers and ranchers in the
western part of the State have gone into
the business of breeding those animals
for the bounty market. In one instance
man was found 10 have raised more than
one hundred wolves last summer, from sew
eral animals he had trapped and penned
up for that purpose. other cases were un-
earthed where from fifteen to sixty of these
animals had been reared. In October and
November they were killed and their scalps
presented for redemption at the office OF
the county clerk of each county.
The State law authorizes the county
clerk to pay IS from the county fund for
each coyote or wolf scalp presented, and
he certifieS to the fact TO the auditor, VINO
pays 81 additional. Four dollars for each
wolf or coyote pays better than hog rails
ing, and naturally the farmers have turned
their attention to this industry. The law
was passed years ago, when the wolf and
the coyote were the great foes of the cat
tie and sheep men. In the last ten years
100000 has been paid by the State alone
as bounty.
The Legislature of 1899 appropriated 500
COO for the purpose. OF this amount $4,000
was Immediately demanded by holders Of
old claims. The remaining $4,000 was gone
within six months, and when the last Leg
islature appropriated $1,000 it was at once
swallowed UP by holders of old claims.
There are now file with the auditor
claims aggregating $4,000, and by the end
of next year this figure will be doubled.
These figures indicate that, instead of be-
ing killed off, the wolves are increasing.
The explanation is now simple
What makes the State authorities the
angrier is that there is nothing TO prevent
a man from running a wolf ranch If he de-
sireS, to- and, with the market unlimited
and the price fixed at a very remuneratlve
figure, the business presents opportunities
that attract capital. The only drawback is
that a man must wait for his money.
The law says that the State shall pay
the two ears and the face oOwn to the nose,
and makes the county clerk the man who,
when proof is presented that the wolves
were killed within the State, certihes to the
number. In the less densely populated
parts of the State, where the wolf and the
coyote find their habitation, the office of
county clerk is not so remuneratve that
the occupant may not be tempted to assist
in the enterprise in the matter of certif-
cation, if he has any qualmS about his
OATH he may be careless to how the
scalps are disposed Of after he has passed
them.
Auditor Weston says that in one case to
which his attention has been called the
county clerk threw the scalps out of his
window after he had received them, and
| they were again picked up and presented
| to him. This could be continued until ply
! steal exhaustion set I'm if thought wise.

Handled by Preacher.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
PERU, Ind, Jan. 19.-The Rev. d. II.
Cooper, pastor of the First Baptist Church,
in a sermon tonight on Higher Ideals of
Citizenship. severely arraigned the city
administration. In speaking of citizenship
in general he advocated sending personal
letters TO Representative Steel and Senator
Beverage. asking the correction of vices
in the Philippines. He warmly commended
President RoOsevet's official life and though
ardent Prohibitionist. he said he may
vote for Mr. Roosevelt in 1904. Taking up
Peru affairs, he referred to the murder of
Henry Helmig last Sunday by a saloon
keeper as a thing that had opened the peO-
pies eyes. The saloon should have been kept
closed by the officers on Sunday. Further
more the saloons ought TO be done away
with altogether as they are the source of
all trouble The Rev. Mr.. Cooper said we
must insist on ii higher type of manhood in
city offices as il is a disgrace when having
to do business to stand before maudlin Of
fcials so stupefied they cannot attend to
things. He named gambling places and
said their presence is an outrage. He de-
manded the resignation of officials II the
law be not enforced. He offered TO work
for a month in city offices TO show that
laws can be enforced.
The Rev. Harry Nyce also spoke on law
and order at the First Presbyterian
Church.
