This Is Miraculous.

Manhattan, Kan, March 14.-One of
the strangest cases that has ever been
heard of in Riley Co. is that of the
three-year-ol daughter Of Mr.. Jonas
Brubaker, Of this place.
Some time ago the little girl took
whooping cough, which was followed
by pneumonia. When the pneumonia
left her, she was taken down with
malaria fever with at times symptoms
of spinal meningitis.
The family doctor brought her safe
ly through these. troubles, but after
the fever Bright's Disease set in and
the doctors gave her up. Her father
tells the rest of the story:
"We began to give her Dodd's Kid
ney Pills, and after she had taken
about three and half boxes, she was
entirely cured. Now she is well as any
child, running and playing as if moth
ing had ever been the matter with her.
The doctors said she was beyond the
reach Of medicine. Dodd's Kidney
Pills certainly saved our little girls
life, when she was so far into the
chronic stage of Bright's Disease that
We thought nothing could save her,"

ENTIRE ARMY CALLED OUT.
Car Issues an Imperial Order Which
Will Mobilize Ali Russia's Troops.

Gar Issues an Imperial order w hich
Will Mobilize Ali Russia's Troops.
The Car has issued an imperial order
which practically calls out all the troops
at Russia's disposal and orders them to
prepare for immediate service in the
far East. The ukase caused much COM
ment in the capital city, not particularly
among army and navy officers, but 1t
awed civilians. 1t foreshadows q long
war and indicates that the government
is fully aware of the difficulty which
will attend the expected triumph Of Rus
sian arms in the conflict with Japan.
Officially the order seemed an inno-
cent one. 1t summoned the reserve sub
alterns and first-class reserve men of
European Russia to the colors for SIX
weeks course of training. \ similar
order was issued to the naval reserves.
On the face of it this order does not
seem TO mean much. But military men
and diplomats know it means that every
thing is being made ready for the mo-
bilization of the entire Russian army.
The order was undoubtedly shock to
civilian Russia. When the war started
1t was fully believed that the victory
over Japan was matter of but few
weeks. As the days passed and news
of Russian victories did not materialize,
the public laid it simply to the supposi-
ton that the Cars navy and troops
were waiting only until they felt that
they could deliver a crushing blow TO the
forces of the NIikado, and thereby end
the war in few months at the most.
But this order opened the eyes even OF
the ciyifians-the military contingent
had long realized that the war would be
q long and costly one

Frozen Lake n Serious Obstacle in
Way of Russian Troops.
The reassuring statements published
by the chief of the Russian transport SER
vice regarding the transport Of troops
across Lake Baikal are entirely discred-
tied by independent witnesses. Accord
ing to q Russian informant there is no
reason for doubling the reports that
many hundreds of soldiers have been rem
dered unfit for service by the hardships
endured on the march over the ice.
The casualties, this authority adds,
have been vastly increased by inadequate

their toilsome journey of forty seven
miles through wind and snow, they are
again provided with tea and dry bread.
Many of the men before reaching the
barracks manage to sell their thick high
boots of felt for bottles of vodka, with
the result that their feet are frozen

Royal Prussian Potash Mines.

The potash which is dug from the
loyal Prussian mines, located at Strass
turt, ninety miles from Berlin, is the
sole source of the worlds supply. Be
fore the mines were discovered the
best substitute which could be found
for the product was wood ash. such
as the southern plantations used in
the old days Of making lye soap. The
Prussian mines are twenty-seven in
number, and were devoted to the pro-
duction of salt before rock salt was
discovered.
When the new variety of salt was
given to the world about forty years
ago the Prussian mines were Temporal
rily abandoned, and in a few years a
search for rock salt was instituted.
The salt was found, but in a badly
ldulterated condition, and an analysis
Of the adulterant revealed the fact
that it was the most valuable part Of
the mineral. The potash was at once
turned to use as commercial fertilizer.
and establishments in Louisville take
large proportion of the production.
1t is an ingredient of the material in
which the Tennessee and South Caro-
lima phosphate is largely used.
The mines are controlled by a syn
dicate and are under the supervision
If William, Emperor of Germany and
King of Prussia. They employ 21,OOO
men and yield 1.2OO car loads day Of
potash. OF the entire output 75 per
cent is used for agricultural purposes.
while the remainder is used for chem
ical purposes. 1t is largely utilized in

Hints on Giving.

A writer in Lippincott's Magazine
makes these suggestions on giving.
We should not give people things
they don't want
We should avoid giving anybody the
mumps or the chicken-pox if we can
help it.
Do not give friend the cold should
ar without baked-beans and hot coffee
to go with it.
A man should not give lady kiss
unless he thinks she would enjoy it,
except in the case of his wife and his
mOther-in-law.
Do not give red suspenders to a
total stranger; he might prefer those Of
4 pale-blue shade instead.
Do not present bucking broncho to
4 tall, pale man of sedentary habits, as
ne would not likely live long to enjoy
1t.
When you give castor-oil to a howl
ing infant give it for its intrinsic
worth, and not merely as an evidence
Of your regard.

THE WAR AND WHEAT.
Explanation Of the Rise In Price Do
Not Emily EYnlain.

Explanation Of the Rise In Price Does
Not Fully Explain.
In the speculative market the price of
May wheat reached $1.O9 on account Of
the war in the East, as market reports
say. This explanation does not explain,
however, as fully as it might, for May
wheat is not actually on the market, and
demand for it Is not real but merely
speculative. Before May wheat is mar
keted the war may be over and the ac-
tual demand for it may be only ordinary.
Consequently the war in the East has
very little to do with the present price
of May wheat; it Is being used as pre-
text for raising the price, or, to put 1t
another way, 1t is being employed by
those who want to run the price up, they
taking the risk of the price they bet on.
So far as the consumer Is concerned
tho war might as we'll actually increase
the price of wheat, for the price fixed in
the speculative market is made the basis
of trade. For instance, the speculative
price Of wheat has already resulted in
an advance Of IS cents barrel In the
prize of flour, Notwithstanding the wheat
from which the flour Is made was pur-
chased at the price prevailing long be-
fore this Eastern war broke out. And
this 10 cents increase has been demanded
of the consumer without single barrel
of Hour having been shipped to either Of
the belligerents in this Eastern war, so
far as the government reports show. This
is the way fictitious price on the specu-
lative market affects the consumer.
The only way in which this war can
legitimately affect the price of wheat is
for it to be prolonged till both Russia
and Japan exhaust their supplies, which
will be for some years. When these
countries begin to fall short ut home they
will buy abroad and not till then, be-
cause of the risk of confiscation Of each
others orders. Besides, Russia will buy
very little of this country so long as her
people entertain the resentment they now
have against Americans, and Japan re-
Quires foodstuffs that can better be sup
piled by China. When one gets down to
hard facts there is very little ground for
expecting very much trade on account of
this war, certainly not S2y0O0.OOO.0O0
worth as one paper predicts, though the
war last years.
