Only
One Key
That Fits

We have found that nearlyall the
general medicines that are popular
seek first to promote appetite and
help digestion, then to apply
needed elements which almost all
ailing people require.
Probably iron is the most i'm
portant of these needed elements,
yet it is very hard to give iron so
it will do any good.
There are thousands of keys in
the world - only ono or two I'M
lock your door. So we know
of only one or two combinations
of iron that seem to do the work.
By far the most generally useful
prescription we know of is Vinol.
We mention this by name, because
we know what it is made of, how
it is made, and how wonderfully
helpful it has been in numerous
cases in this very town.
Vinol contains the medicinal
qualities of cod liver oil, iron-that-
can-be-digested, and little table
wine. 1t is pleasant to take, and
we have so much faith in it that
we will, sell a bottle to anyone
suffering from loss of appetite, a
rundown condition, tendency to
colds, or to weak women and pale
children, etc., and cheerfully give
you the money back if it does not
help you. -

BRITONS SCARED
RECIPROCITY Between UNITED
STATES AND CUBA MEANS
LOSS OF TRADE. 49,
CABINET Meeting CALLED

That Ministers Have Been Specially
Summoned to Discuss the Subject.
Delegation of the Most Powerful
Business Interests Demands That
some Decisive Action Be Taken.
London, Jan. 26.-The reciprocity
treaty between Cuba and the United
States threatens to raise one of the
most serious differences of opinion be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States that has occurred for years. So
much Importance is attached to the
matter that a meeting of the cabinet
is being specially summoned to see
what action can be taken. There is,
of course, no alarmist feeling as to any
possible straining of diplomatic rela-
tions, but Great Britain's entire COM
mercial policy is believed to be vitality
concerned. The matter came to head
through the deputation from the cham
Der of commerce of the United King
dom which waited upon Foreign Sec
rotary Lansdowne Thursday. 1t in
Guided several members of parliament
and represented the most powerful
business interests from all the Brit
ish industrial centers. Replying to the
delegates argument that all the advan-
tages which the government had
gained by securing the abolition of the
sugar bounties would be sacrificed if
Tnh nv
operative Lord Lansdowne said he
thoroughly realized the gravity OF the
situation and proceeded to read dis
patches showing that Ambassador Her
bert had forcefully represented the
British Objections to the Treaty,
pointing out that it was to all intents
and purposes a discrimination against
all the British possession in the West
Indies. Secretary Hays reply main
tanned that the United States was do
ing no more than it had the right to do
and intimated that it had no intention
of modifying the Cuban treaty.
Lord Lansdowne added that all the
information available pointed to the
fact that the treaty would pass, but he
announced that the cabinet would con-
slider if anything further could be done.
The delegates said they understood
that the treaty contains a secret clause
STIMULATING that no further measures
of reciprocity shall be undertaken by
the United States towards the British
West Indies. If such was the case
it was suggested to Lord Lansdowne
that Great Britain would be only with
in her rights in retaliating with an in
creased duty on grain. The foreign
secretary gave no intimation on this
point, which apparently was only sug-
gested in the hope that some of the
members of the cabinet who are re-
ported to be strongly in favor of a
more protectionist policy, might use
it as a handle to forward their views.

WORKING IN PERFECT ACCORD.
Story of Friction Between England and
Germany Denied.

Story of Friction Between England and
Germany Denied.
London, Jan. 28.-The following
statement was authorized by the Ger
man embassy here:
There is not the slightest truth in
the reports of friction or misunder-
standing between England and Ger
many in regard to Venezuela. Both
governments continue to act in per-
feet harmony and will simultaneously
withdraw the blockade at the earliest
possible moment. 1t is to be regretted
that the house of commons is not in
session, as question in the house
would doubtless reveal the perfect I'M
derstanding which exists between the
two countries. There has been no
disapproval of any kind expressed by
the British government regarding Ger
many's conduct of affairs in connection
with Venezuela. No date has yet been
settled upon for raising the blockade,
but it will cease just as soon as the
representatives of the powers reach a
final agreement with Mr.. Bowen. The
feeling expressed in the press here and
reflected in the cable dispatches from
New York that England finds the Ger.
man alliance embarrassing is in no
way confirmed by the governments
attitude"

STREETS ARE SINKING.
Residents of Norway, Mich, Very
Much Alarmed.

Iron Mountain, Mich, Jan. 2S.-Resi.
dents of Norway, seven miles from this
place, are becoming genuinely alarmed
over the sinking of the streets and
buildings at that place.
The Nelson block, on the principal
street of the town, is gradually set
thing, and all of the tenants are NOV
ing, as it is becoming unsafe. There
are several large cracks in the side
and the structure is about ready to
collapse.
The postoffice is also gradually sink
ing, so that it is necessary to go down
hill to get the mail. 1t is thought that
the cause for the sinking of the ground
is the Aragon mine, which is directly
under the CITY.

SLUMP IN WHEAT
LEADER IN BULL MOVEMENT DIS.
POSES OF A LARGE PART
OF HIS HOLDINGS.
CLEARS UP ABOUT 100000

J. Ogden Armour Dumps Millions of
Bushels of the May Option Into the
Pit at an Average Profit of Four
Cents a BusheI Heavy Selling
Causes a Drop in Price of Between
Two and Three Cents.
Chicago. Jan. 2S.-The bull cam
palgn in May wheat received a severe
setback during the day and a decline
of over cents was registered in that
delivery. The main reason for the de-
cline was the disappointing foreign ad-
vices, which caused considerable anx-
iety among the longs resulting in. the
unloading of heavy lines upon an al
ready weak market. The let up in the
export demand was the principal bear
factor, adVices from France being to
the effect that the wheat which has
been sold here the past few days, pre-
sumably for French consumption, was
intended for grinding in bond and to be
exported again as flour. The leader of
the campaign who has been an active
buyer for the past few weeks took but
small part in the trading aud as a re-
suit the market lacked any material
support, everybody seemingly being on
the bear side. Before the end of the
first hour the price had dropped to
1878 cents.
y Later in the day it was rumored that
the leading long interest had been sell
ing through brokers and this fact gave
added impetus to the decline and the
market sold off to 1873 cents. Cover
ing by shorts caused slight rally but
the close was weak and 2% cents
lower.
Late in the day it was reported that
]. Ogden Armour, who had been the
leader in the bull movement had dis
posed of anywhere from seven to fif
teen million bushels of May wheat dur
ing the day, and the inference was that
he was endeavoring to shake out the
smaller traders, and that the appear
ance from day to day would show that
he had been successful The line which
was held by the leading house was pur-
chased from rs cents up and, estimat-
ing his profits at 4 cents per bushel,
which is conservative figure, the net
profits on the deal as shown by the
days sales, would amount to about
S6OO 000

London, Jan. .2S.-About fifty insane
patients were burned to death by fire
at the Colney Hatch asylum during the
morning.
The outbreak occurred in the Jewish
wing of the institution. The flames
spread with great rapidity and before
they could be gotten under control five
wooden buildings, including dormito-
ries and the doctors apartments, were
Quilted.
All the efforts of the officials were
directed to removing the insane in
mates, but the latter became wild with
excitement and so panic stricken that
not only were they unable to help
themselves, but greatly impeded the
operations of those trying to save
them.
There were nearly 600 women in the
burned annex at the time the fire was
discovered and most of them were
safely transferred to the main build
ing, which was uninjured. Some, how
ever, escaped and are still at large,
rendering it difficult to ascertain the
exact number of those burned to death.
The work OF searching the ruins con-
tinues The officials admit that about
fifty bodies have been recovered, but it.
is feared that the full extent of the dis
aster is not yet known.
Victims Horribly Burned.
All the victims were lunatics. Their
charred remains presented a horrify-
Tho ha-
sieged by anxious relatives and friends
of the patients who arrived from all
quarters. Pitiable scenes were wit
messed as weeping men and women left
= the premises after ascertaining that
relatives or friends nad persisted in the
flames.
The nurses had terrible experience
in trying to assist the insane people,
who were so panic stricken that they
had literally to be driven to place of
safety.
The infiammable premises almost
Immediately became a furnace. Moth
ing was left standingA The corrugated
iron roofs of the dormitories and the
bedsteads of the patients were melted
by the intense hsat. Some of the luna
tics were burned in their beds and the
charred remains of others were found
huddled together in corners, while
groups Of partially consumed bodies on
the site Of the corridors showed that
many persons lost their lives and sac
rificed those of others in their frantic
efforts to force a passage through the
flames to the main building.
The latest estimate places the num-
Der of deaths at fifty-two. All the vic.
tins were women.
