Alfred McCune, an American CAPT.
talist; julius Normand and Eugenio
Larrabure- Unanu have made an offer
to the government to construct a rail
road from Lima. Peru, to Pisco. in con-
formity with the law recently passed
guaranteeing an interest on the in
vestment at the rate of I per cent.
It is understood that the commit
tee OF the Missouri Pacific engineers
has practically withdrawn its demand
Tor an increase in wages of 10 per
cent, as presented in the original de-
mand, and that further conferences
will be held with the officials of the
Missouri Pacific upon differences in
rules, which r to be adjusted 10
meet the rules and regulations in eff
feet on other lines in the southwest,
p. Dickinson, general manager Of
the Kansas City, Mexico r Orient
Railway company, has returned from
New York. where he went several
weeks ago in the interests of the road.
He has left Kansas City for the City
Of Mexico to confer with the Orient's
representative there concerning the
roads work in Mexico. He will re-
main two weeks in the republic. Mr.,
Dickinson says the Orient's construc-
ton work is going on in a rapid and
satisfactory manner.

$4,000. 900. Reports submitted to Mr..

Train No. 5 was half a mile long after

Irregularity In Retail Grade
Brought About by Adverse
Weather Conditions
STRIKES IN NEW ENGLAND
Many Textile Mills Are Threatened BY
the Extensive Revolt of Laborers-
No Improvement in Dry Goods Mar
ket-Prominent Activity in Merchant
steeI-Larse Cut of Spruce Lumber.

New York, March 2S.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade today
says:
Irregularity in retail trade is due to
weather conditions. More uniform ac-
tivity is reported in wholesale trade,
with notably large movement of gro
ceries. millinery, paper and builders
materials. Manufacturers of clothing.
furniture and footwear and iron and
steel are we'll engaged, ample supplies
of fuel greatly facilitating operations
but extensive strikes threaten to render
idre many New England textile mills
The cut of spruce lumber has been
large. but the early breaking up of win
ter restricted movement, and the high,
cost of labor and provisions rendered
operations expensive. Early opening of
lake navigation will benefit business,
and the railway traffic embargo will be
relieved. Earnings of railways thus far
reported for March exceed last years
by 1913 per cent and surpass those of
1901 by 22.S per cent. An output OF
about 100000 tons of coke in the whole
Connellsville region for the last week
indicates that fuel troubles are almost
ended in THE iron and steel industry.
Work IL resumed on bridges and build
ings wherever the places CT strikers can
be filled, and several contests in this
department have been acerted. large
opening trade in pipe, followed by lib
eral supplementary orders, has main
tanned prices. prominent feature
of activity is found in merchant steel
for agricultural implement weeks and
wagon factories.
NO improvement has appeared in the
dry goods market. The situation is Pc
culiarly complicated as to cotton goods,
stocks are light as rule, and labor
troubles threaten to cuitail the output,
yet jobbers are reluctant to undertake
contracts at present quotations. Mean
while, producers are ir. no position to
make concessions, and dull market Is
the result. Dizziness is reported in
wooden goods, with new business on
limited scale. Jobbers are placing large
orders for fall delivery of shoes, readily
paying the recent advance in prices,
and manufacturers of heavy goods nave
booked more business than is custom
ary at this early date. Leather is quiet,
but low stocks maintain prices.
Failures this week numbered 2l4 In
the United States. as against 2O5 last
wear, and twenty-six in Canada, against
twenty-five a year ago.

GRINNELL POLITICS
A Close Contest for the Regular Re-
publican Ticket, With the Chances
in its Favor.

Special to Times Republican.
Grinnell, March 2S.-Within the last
three or four days the situation here
has undergone a change and the pros
poets for the regular (republicam tick
set are much better. Still, no one can
predict the result with any degree of
didate for mayor, has many friends.
and while all who know him concede
his honesty of purpose, the leading
republicans and business men are
alert and a large vote for Mr.. Nor
risin is assured. Grnnell is so over
whelmingly regular that it is only a
generally, the regular candidate can
not be beaten unless he is personally
Objectionable.
1t looks now as if the regular ticket
will be elected except in the fourth
warl. Ruff will be defeated. In the
Third ward there is no republican can
is between Kicker and Wilson. both
such good sinen that the voter may
shut his eyes and choose. This being
the case, the chances are with the reg
ular ticket. In the Second ward Davis
(citizen) is losing ground. In either
event Grinnell will have a good mayor
and an intelligent liberal administra
ton.
1t is urged that Morrisin ought to re-
ceive the majority vote because of his
prominence as a man, as a citizen, as
manufacturer and employer of labor
and as representative of the most
progressive sentiment. On the other
hand Jenkins is supposed to repre-
sent greater economy in municipal af-
fairs. The opponents of both are using
unfair weapons. Against Jenkins an
almost forgotten incident of the civil
war is raked over, while of Morrison it is
said he is opposed to manufactures.
This is absurd. Morrison is working
constantly to get desirable enterprises
to come here, and between him and his
employees the most cordial relations
exist. He is opposed to Glucose factor
les and the population they bring. He
is opposed to 'pauper" factories, those
that can be obtained anywhere by Civ
ing bonus, but he is heartily in favor
of healthy and legitimate industries,
and no citizen, except Mr.. Spaulding,
gives more literally or with a freer
hand. From what is being said here
stranger might infer that the Spaulding
administration has been extravagant
and that the public funds have been
squandered. There isn't a word of truth
in it, and it isn't fair. Whatever may
be said of Mr.. Spauldings administers
ton it can not be said that single
dollar has been foolishly spent or mis-
applied. The new well was an abso-
Lutte necessity. and MIR. jenkins voted
for it, The sceptic tanks at the mouth
of the sewer, we had to have. and Mr..
jenkins voted for this showing his
good sense by so doing. There is one
thing that has not been very generally
discussed. Mr.. jenkins is now alder
man from the Second ward. In case he
is elected mayor, his successor on the
council must be elected and this will
necessitate another election in that
ward Take the situation as a whole
neither party has a walkaway and i'll
the regular ticket falls thru, it will be
by a narrow margin.

Il Stands Alone.

Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription
stands alone, as the one and only remedy
for leucorrhea, female weakness, pro-
lapsus, or falling of the womb, so abso-
lutely specific and sure in curing these
common ailments of women, as to war
rant its makers i'll offering to pay, as
they hereby do, the sum of $500 reward
for case of the above maladies which
they can not cure. This is remarkable
offer. No other medicine for the cure
of woman's peculiar ailments is backed
by such remarkable guarantee. No
other medicine for woman's ills is pos
sessed of the unparalleled curative pro-
perties that would warrant its makers
in publishing such an offer; no other re11l-

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY
Catarrh Of the Stomach Is
Not a Disease.
hut . Condition Resulting from
INDIG ESTION.

Recent experiments, by practical tests
md examinat ton with the aid OF the A-hay,
establish it as fact that CatarTh OF the
Stomach is not disease IN Itself, but that
It is a condition resulting from repeated
attacks of indigestion. ;,
The stomach and alimentary canal, or d.
gestive tract, is Lined or coated with a
mucous membrane Studding the surface
OF this mucous membrane are the gastric
xlands Here, also, are the terminal
branches of the pneumogastrlc nerves, ana
many branches from the sympathetic sys-,
TEN. When the stomach is overloaded, or
when food is eaken into it that fails to d.
rest. it decays-rots, and infames the
mucous membrane, exposing the nerves,
and causes the glands to secrete mucin, IN
ltead of the natural juices OF digestion.
This is called Catalrh of the Stomach. The
condition was never known to exist except
when preceded by. Indigestion. In other
called iCatarrh of the Stomach until we have
had Indigestion. Hence the manifest need
of perfect cure for Indigestion.
KODOL cures Indigestion and prevents
and cures Catarrh of the Stomach. To those
persons who have allowed their Indigestion
to run into chronic Dyspepsia and then INTO
that condition known as Catarrh OF the
Stomach. we say take KODOI. at once.
Kodol supplies the gastric glands with
healthy quantity of the digestive juices,
thus relieving the stomach of all nervous
strain. by digesting the food, while that
organ takes rest-recuperates..

Recent prices We're, on an average, Is

principal decline in heavies. which have
comprised large proportion of the re-
