Ms GEORGE WALLACE, Jr.,
of Elmira, N. Y, wife Of
George Wallace, broker, of
West Water Street, and living
at G67 Baldwin Street, says:
Z" In March, 1897. | was cured
of kidney and bladder trouble
by Doan's Kidney Pills. My
physician said at that time that
my life could be saved only
by an operation. Night after
night | had been kept awake
for hours at a time with ter
rible pain in my back, and the
secretions from the kidneys
were in as bad a state as pos
sible. | suffered with hemor-
rhages frequently and was in
a weak state. Four boxes OF
DOan's Kidney Pills cured me,
and now gladly reendorse the
remedy, because during the
time which has since elapsed,
nearly seven years, / have never
had the slightest sign of q
return Of the trouble.

THE PRIVILEGES OF WOMEN.
One Member Of the Fair Sex Satisfied
with Her Position.

Mr.. Stead says that there are only
three privileges of my sex-namely,
that in going in or out of room the
woman goes first; that she is served
before man at a meal Ga statement
which is quite wrong, by the way,
only one woman at table having that
distinction, the one on the hosts
right; the other guests, whether male
or female, in every household above
mere middle class being served in
regular rotation), and that in a train
a man gives up his seat to her. /
could give Mr.. Stead many more. Our
bills are paid for us-when our male
belongings have any money to pay
them with; we are made love to,
which may be despicable but is dis
tinctly enjoyable; we are admired,
which is no doubt foolish but none
the less gratifying to us. In spite of
the preponderance of our sex the ma
jority of us are so pleased with our
selves that we have no desire to visit
the republic in the neighborhood of
the Mountains of the Moon; and con-
sidering that we can do anything we
like in this year of grace and that we
rule all your sex as il is, dear Mr..
Stead, why call us "despised" and rail
at the world for not making us "su-
preme," when II had never occurred to
us that we were anything else?-"A
Countess" in Reply to Mr.. Stead.

the change of scenery. 1t was hot

Sleepy Connecticut Town.

Killingworth is in some respects
unique among Connecticut towns. On
three sides railroads run within ten
miles of it. The rural free delivery
touches only one corner of it, and the
suburbanizing trolley shows no sign
of approach. With one exception it
is the only town in Connecticut that
has neither telegraph nor telephone
connection. The only public means
of approach is by stage once a day.

HOGS ARE UNPROFiTABLE
The Packers Would Bring Prices Down
or Buy SparinsIy.

Live Stock World: 1T is very evident
that the packers will not a any more
for hogs if they can help t." remarked
an expert, and the fact must not be
overlooked that when hogs get into the
81 list they are lear. Nevertheless con-
siderable manipulating has been neces-
sary to prevent a further advance and
had eastern shipping demand been
strong prices could not have been kept
down. 1t seems that every time the
market opens higher on light receipts
killers lay back or stay out of the mar
ket, causing a lower close. When re-
ceipts are heavy and the opening Is
lower they compete and the finish Is
higher.
Packers insist that hogs cannot be
probably handled at present prices and
that a lower range must prevail before
they Will LEM the market q helping
hand AT the same time the majority
of those on the selling side believe in
continued high prices owing to the
small number in sight for the next few
months. But hogs may go off so cents
a hundred from present prices and still
be high, although the trader who is
expecting a margin must exercise eau
ton. If he anticipates the market by
getting bullish notions into his head
he Is likely to collide with trouble"

MUST CHANGE NAMES.
If Indians Want Government Money
They Must Adopt Irritable
Handles.

Washington special: It will sur.
prise the great n respectable family
whose is Coffee to learn that
the commissioner Of Indian affairs, w.
"A. Jones, has pronounced the name de-
grading and no more to be tolerated
thar such popular Indian names as
"Drunkard" and Tobacco"
AT the suggestion Of Hamlin Gar
n who writes western stories and
recently has spent months among the
C~heyennes and Arapahoes in Okla
homa, he commissioner of Indian af-
fairs has issued an order to all Indian
allotting agents and school teachers
which are now what Commissioner
Jones and Mr.. Garland consider "un-
couth' and "unpronounceable." The
commissioner writes:
As Indians become citizens Of the
United States under the allotment act,
the inheritance Of property is gov
erned by the laws Of the respective
fusion and doubtless ultimate loss to
the Indians If no attempt is made to
have members Of a family known by
the same family name on the records
and by general reputation. The Indian
is now half way between the old life
Inc the new, and his name should indi-
cate 1t.
aliioiiG olleI CUSTOMS OIL White peO-
pie Indians should adopt our system
Of family names, but at the same time
the original Indian name should be re-
tanned as far as feasible. The allotment
roll as far as practicable should, like a
family register, group the allottees ac-
cording to their natural relations and
start each a1lottec with a reasonable
family name. Each child at school
should retain that name"
This Is the second effort which has
been made by the interior department
to change the names Of Indians carried
on the pay roll of the United States.
Ten or fifteen years ago an official at
the interior department became dis
gusted with the long, unpronounceable
names Of the Comanches. He wrote to
the Indian agent at Anadarko and told
him that henceforth in sending in the
lists Of Comanche names for grass
money he should use the English
tr~anslations.
The agent replied hat it would be
easy for him to comply with this re-
quest, but that 1t would inevitably lead
to great embarrassment. The indian
agent then took an assorted list Of CO.
manche names and submitted them
with their English equivalents. This
reply stopped the scheme Of using Eng
fish TRANSACTIONS for Indian names. The
present scheme is a complete change
from the first system attempted, and
the Indian family name, wherever it
can be used at all, is to be retained.
Where the name Is vulgar a new one
will be substituted. Among the names
to be changed are such as Tobacco"
"Mogul" an Coffee which are de-
grading, declares Mr.. Jones.

High Prices Paid for Breeding Stoc,
Indicates Large Production of Pias.

I6I SC ETOOQCLiOn OF FIGS.
The Nebraska Farmer says: The
nigh prices paid for registered breeding
stock lately may indicate a revival OF
breeding. and that the present season
Will show a larger production of pigs
for next seasons market. But if a pro-
p~ortionate shortage in packed roducts
continues till the spring crop of pigs is
ready to market, it is not likely that the
production of pigs in 1903 will be great
enough to seriously break the make,
If the business conditions throughout
the world remain as now.
But certain speculative interests are
at work to influence the market for fur
Their advances in the price Of pork prod
ucts. Those interests are filling the
newspapers with a theory of a hos
famine" with all that it implies, and
the present market is certainly affected
by this element. Their stock in trade
is the prospect that available hog sup
plies are exhausted and the market
must continue bare of stock.
We believe this linz of thought is not
justified by the conditions. The feed
yards Of the west are still full of cattle,
and the cattle will be held until the
feeders are obliged to sell, unless the
market for fat steers materially i'm
proves. A part OF the shortage in hog
receipts can be accounted for by the
fact that hogs are held back because
the cattle are being held back. It may
not be expected, therefore, that the
proportionate decrease in the supply OF
hogs will continue through the spring
season. The reverse of the hog fam
Inc" theory may be true, for the reason
that all hogs held back in cattle yards
are bound to come into the market. AnG
when they come in they will be heavier
and better than normal by SO much as
they nave been held on feed beyond the
normal selling season.
This is a point hog owners should
bear in mind, for they may rest assured
that the packers will be prompt ir
using any pretext to break the market;
and it may fairly be expected that there
will De weeks When there will be at
least normal hog supplies in the mar
ket, in the near future, despite present
talk of a hog famire.

Shortly after Morgan's return from

f1rst step In the movement toward tha
general comb1n that will include all
companies throughout the
country, including those in Iowa. Ne.
braska and neighboring states.
The capitalization Of all Independent
companies is only a little over SAC, 600. 0oO,

number of shares in the independent

Local Directors to Go.
The local directorates are to be wiped
out, but each independent will
have representation on the general
board of the American. On account Of
the large number Of companies and the
vast territory covered, it will take pos.
sibiy a whole year before the trust is
formed.
The independent companies are now
more or less banded together for COM
mercial and purchasing interest, under
title of the Consolidated Telephone COM
pany, with headquarters at Buffalo. N.
Z. b. G.. Hubbell is president. Hubbell
in a statement said that the time is
about ripe for a combination. He said
he believed the Independents now had
the whip hand of the Bell mpa
and might not be easily coerced into 60
ing into the trust. However, he de-
clared, such a combine is bound to
come. It was ideal as a business and
financial proposition. The saving would
be tremendous, out the capital would
have to be unlimited. He believed
there might be danger for the public
in the possible increased prices. Thu
capitalization Of the trust, he said,
would probably be 81. 00o. 900, 900.
