day, strike was threatened because
Mcs. Armour offered her best carriage
for the use of the President and Gov.
Dockery. The trouble arose be-
cause she did not have union coact =
man. The coachmen's union met
and informed the reception committee
that. unless a union coachman and
hack were chosen, al! the drivers in
the city would strike, and leave the
visitors to walk. The Committee was
plucky enough to defy the union, in
spite of the threat to notify the Pres
lent, but Mrs. Armour withdrew
the offer Of her carriage, and spoiled
the chance for a pretty row. A big
strike in Omaha also follow his speech
there, in which he said both labor
and capital ought to do justice to
each other. The strenuous Chief

Great Cotton Crop.

Washington, May 7.-The quantl-
ty of cotton ginned from the growth
OF 1902, exclusive of linters, amount
ed to 11,O7s,S 1882 running bales. The
bales as pressed at the ginners are
equal to 1O,630.945 bales of 500
pound standard or, counting round
bales as half bales, 1o,5sS,250.
During the four years covered by
the ginning reports OF the census
Office the average crop, exclusive OF
linters, has been 9,902,277 bales OF
500 pounds. The crop OF 1902
show an increase of 72S,e6S bales
over this average while the crops OF
1899 and 1901 show a decrease OF
45e.sS6 and s92,532 bales respec-
lively. In the crop Of 1902 there
has been general increase in all the
states both east and west OF the
Mississippi river, with the exception
of Alabama and Texas. Drought 10
Alabama and drought and the boil
weevil in Texas are responsible for
laths losses in those states.
sp of 1902 exceeded that
kxinners for 1901 by
Ills per cent. and
that Of 1906 by 5o7,s1s bales, of S
per cent. Compared with that Of
1899, the crop of 1902 increased 1ss
per cent.
Esst of Mississippi river produc-
tion increased from 39,252 bales
in 1901 to 5,6o2,96 bales in 1902, an
increase of 653.715 bales.
The degree of comparison which
has been maintained for the past
three crops between divisions OF the
cotton belt IS made by the Mississip-
pi river is noteworthy. East of the
Mississippi rivsr the production de-
creased from 5,094,451 bales in 1899
to 4,7s1, 1875 in 1902, or 313,2 bales.
This was more than offset by the
increased production west OF the
Mississippi river, where the yield
was 5,s41, 1872 in 1900, against 1885,
$40 in 1899, an increase of 1,O9o,S92
bales, or 25.7 per cent.
Raw cotton easily holds first place
among the exports OF the United
States, amounting for the year end
ing June 80. 1902, to s2oO,651,S19,
which is s77:517,475 in excess of the
value of ''breadstuffs" exported, and
greater than the value of the third
greatest export, ''provisions, includ-
ing meat and dairy products" by
S90,790,441. The value of all cotton
exports for 1902, including raw cot.
ton, cotton manufactures and waste
and cotton seed and it's products,
amounted to S349, ,479,747, or 25s

kidney trouble

hICliOJ iOOSAS'
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
1t used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ming in kidney trouble.

The Doctors Statement.

st. John, Kan, Nov 16.--This town
has a genuine sensation in the cast of
a little boy. the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Mcbride. DR.. Lines, the at
tending physician, says:
Scarlet Fever Of a very malignant
type brought this child very near to
death and When the fever left him, he
was semi-palalyzcd in the right leg
and right arm. He also lost hearing
in his right ear and his mind was
much affected.
Ills parents tried another treatment
for a time and when | was recalled I
found that he was having spells very
like Epilepsy and was very bad and
gradually growing worse. I advised
the use Of Dodd's Kidney Pills and in
a short time the child began to i'm
prove. Inside of Il week the nervous
spasms or epileptic seizures ceased al
together"
Mr.. and Mrs. Mcbride have made a
sworn statement of the facts and DR..
Jesse l.. Lines has added his sworn
statement saying that Dodd's Kidney
Pills and nothing else cured the fits.

How Folk Tries Roodlers.

Golfers Weekly: President Roose-
Welt asked Joseph Folk to conduct the
trials of the United States postal
boodlers. Mr.. Folk declined, and he
was right; his own Doodle cases out
in Missouri are just as important ma
t~ionally as those of the national gov
eminent. But it is a pity this young
circuit attorney could not take his
chance to present on a more c%onspic-
uous stage his method of prosecuting
crimes against the state. Very simple,
very natural, it is Cperhaps therefore)
revolutionary. Circuit Attorney Folk
defends the state.
1t is a well known principle of our
penal code that the purpose of punish
ment by the state is not vengeance,
but the restraint of others from like
crimes. Few prosecutors take this
view, They attack the defense, de
nounce' the jurors, fight his lawyers,
and there is where they weaken their
cases. For the defense also has the
personal appeal, n theirs is strong
er; it is for the under dog" the poor
fellow at the bar" Unimpassioned and
impersonal, Mr.. Folk moves slowly
through a trial, speaking softly, listen
ing attentively to the other side, with
no witty asides,'' no sneers, no bun
cOmbe.

The Risks They Take.

~ iiSy n
Philadelphia Public Ledger: 1t fire.
quently happens that when you pass
a new skyscraper that is going up you
see a number of workingmen astride
an iron girder, being lifted by a derrick
to the eighth, the tenth, or even he
fifteenth story of the building. High
up in the air there are men driving
r1Vets, and, at the same time, balancing
themselves on a footing two inches
wide; men, hundreds of feet above the
street, holding on to supports with one
hand, push, pull and drag the heavy
IRON beams into their places. 1t looks
as II Workingmen's children should be
taught ti2htrope walking and ]acrobatic
turns if they are to follow the profess
sion of their fathers. A contractor
said, regarding the great danger to the
workmen in putting up modern build
lngS, tina two or three years ago it was
a difficult matter to obtain men who
We're willing to run the risk involved.
But now" he continued, 80 many
men have become expert in balancing
themselves and taking with ease the
dangerous positions required in the
work that we can get all we need. Some
of them pride themselves on their ex-
pertness in their accomplishment, and
l know several Irishmen who would
scorn an offer to work or a three-story
building. o would be surprised at
the affection the makers of tall build
lngs have for the structures when they
are finished. Their part in the putting
up of edifices so gigantic and so impos-
ing gives them a sort of proprietary in

pass it. I put all the rivets in the grid

men ask permission to bring their

taSeiIne.

Everybody knows the great value of
this remedy in the household, but every.
body does not know that the limitations
Of it, which some second-class druggists
d~ishonorably palm off on their custom
ers. have little or no value. What should
be understood by the public is that it is
not a mere question of comparative value
between "Vaseline" and the limitations,
but that the limitations do not effect tho
wonderful healing results of the world
renowned "Vaseline," and that they are
not the same thing nor made in the same
way. Besides this, many of the imita-
tons are harmful, ~irritant and not safe
to use, while true Vaseline is perfectly
harmless.
Perfect safety therefore lies in buying
only original bottles and other packages
put up by the Chescbrough Manufacture
ing 20. Attention is called to their
Capsicum Vaseline, advertised in another

AN OLD TIMER
Has Had Experiences,

A woman who has Used Postum
Food Coffee since it came upon the
market eight years ago knows from
experience the necessity of using Pos
tum in place of coffee if one values
health and a steady brain.
She says: AT the time Postum was
drst put on the market I was suffering
from nervous dyspepsia and my physl-
clan had repeatedly told me not to use
tea or coffee. Finally 1 decided to take
his advice and try Postum and got a
sample and had it carefully prepared,
finding it delicious to the taste. So I
continued its use and very soon its
beneficial effects convinced me of its
value for / got well of my
and dyspepsia.
My husband had been drinking cof-
fee all his life until it had affected his
nerves terribly. l persuaded him to
shift to Postum and it was easy to get
him to make the change, for the Pos
tum is SO delicious. It certainly work
ed wonders for him
1--WE soon learned that Postum does
not exhilarate or depress and does not
stimulate, but steadily and honestly
strengthens the nerves and the stom-
ach. To make a long story short, our
entire family have now used Postum
for eight years with completely salts
flying results as shown in our fine con-
dition Of health, ard we have noticed a
rather unexpected improvement in
brain and nerve power" Name given
by Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich.
Increased brain and nerve power al
ways follow the use of Postum in
place of coffee, sometimes in a very
marked manner.

the famous little book, THE Road tc
