COAL AT Sis PER TON.
That's the Price Anthracite viii Com
mand in Mankat0.

Aid Charles T. Taylor today re-
ceived telegram from Daluth stating
that car Of coal could be shipped to
him at $11 per ton at that point.
After paying all freight charges, and
other expenses the coal could be sold
in Mankato at $15 per ton. Mr.. Toy
lor wss little fearful that, people
here would not stand for such price.
but he was advised by a number of
persons to order the car brought to
this city as speedily as steam could
get it here, that the coal must be had
at any price. Accordingly Mr.. Tay-
lor wired that the coal should be ship
ped without delay
Retail coal dealers are in no way
responsible for the exorbitant price
charged for coal. Eleven dollars per
ton at the head of the lakes causes the
price to 90 skyward in this neck O.

Missouri courts have fixed upon the

a treacherous and vicious animal. and
that Sd we'll known is this fact that if
a workman is Injured because of those
traits OF disposition in the mule, the
employer cannot plead ignorance of
the mules nature as defense. You
don't have to show those Missourians
what mule is, and the people down

in some respect if not in awe.

MONEY FOR RAILROAD BUILD
ING.

Railroad building will be as proml-
nent factor in the industrial world
during the year 9O3 as it was in the
year just closed. This is an indication
that money will flow into the channels
of trade and there will be contlnu-
suca of business activity 1t would
be difficult TO say in the aggregate
how much money is to be expended in
construction and improvements, but
the following figures will show that
there is to be a considerable amount.
In short time the PennsyI-
vania railroad will enter upon con-
tracts calling for an expenditure CT
over So, 600. 900, provision having been
made for an increase of 500. 600, 900
in the company's capital stock. Some
Sc, 600. 900 is to go into new yards and
building a. Pirtspurg, $40, 900. 900 into
real estate, etc.. in New York city,
So. OQO, 00O into the new union station
in Washington, So. 600. 900 into track
elevations, etc., in New Jersey,
81, 900. 600 for the Trenton bridge. and
50, 600, 600 for improvements in Phila-
delphia. The Baltimore & Ohio also
has work in contemplation that calls
for the early expenditure of many
millions, the total not falling below
$50, 600, 600. The New York Central
has $25, 900. 900 to spend on general
improvements. The Southern Pacific
and old Central Pacific are to have
nearly $40, 000 900 of new capital put
into them. The Atchison, Topeka &

SMOTHER A COUGH.

You can smother a cough
with your hand but you can't
cure it that way. Some medi-
cines only smother coughs,
SCOTS Emulsion cures them.
Old coughs and deep-rooted
coughs can't be cured until
the inflammation which causes
them has been replaced by
healthy tissue.
That is exactly the kind OF
thorough work SCOTS Emul-
sion does, 1t changes the
entire nature Of the throat and
lungs SO that there is nothing
to cough about.

case of Ieucorrhea, Female Weakness,
Prolapsus, or Falling of Womb which they
can not cure. All they ask is a fair and
reasonable trial of their means OF cure.
Their financial responsibility is well
known to every newspaper publisher and
druggist in the United States. with most
of whom they have done business for over
a third of century. From this fact 1t VIII

be for them to make the above unprece-
denied and remarkable offer if they were
not basing their offer on curative means
having an unparalleled record No other
medicine than DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
soription could possibly Twin out, as the
saving goes, on such proposition. But
they know whereof they speak. They have
the most remarkable record of cures made
by this world famed remedy ever placed to
the credit of any preparation especially
designed for the cure of woman's peculiar
ailments. This wonderful remedy, there
fore, stands absolutely alone as the only
one possessed Of such remarkable curative
properties as would warrant its makers in
publishing such marvellous offer as is
above made in the utmost good faith.
