INEQUALITIES in railroad rates and the
remedy was the basis Of a notable adj
dress by Gov. A. b. Cummins, OF Iowa
before the delegates to the Upper Mis-
sissippI River Improvement association
convention at Dubuque. The Iowa ex-
ecutive emphatically declared that the
present rates charged by the railroads
OF the country are a menace TO the peo-
pie. and that government control OF
rates is essential to he welfare OF the
commonwealth. AS a remedy he advo-
Gated a department Of the government
that would have authority to regulate
rates. Gov. Cummins spoke as follows:

the thought in formal phrase, that

and we must work hard to accomplish
the result we desire. We have right
to ask that the river be improved anil
you should remember that if you want
a thing you must first ask for It and
then if you don't get it you must fight
for it, The object of this convention
is TO impress on our congressman that
we must have the river improved. OF
course there will be some croakers who
will say we will never get what we are
after There are always croakers but
they shouldn't alarm us. There were
croakers who said the isthmian canal
would never be built. but it will. have
no fears about the canal. 1t will be
built and one of the results will be
that It will mean the Improvement Of

river be improved while the canal is

What Sulphur Does
For the Human Body in Health ana
Disease.

The mention OF sulphur will recall to
many Of Us the early days, when our
mothers and grandmothers gave US our
daily dose OF sulphur and molasses
every spring and fall.
Il was the universal spring and fall
blood purifier" tonic and cure-au, and,
mind you, this old-fashioned remedy
was not without merit.
The idea was good, but the remedy
was crude and unpalatabIe, and a large
quantity had TO be taken 70 get any ef-
feet
Nowadays we get all the beneficial ef-
.fects OF sulphur in a pala4able, concen-
trateo form, so that a single grain is
far more effective than 8 tablespoonful
Of the crude sulphur.
In recent years research and expert
ment have proven that the best sulphur
for medicinal use is that obtained from
Calcium Calcium Sulphide) and sold
In drug stores under the name Of Stu
- arts Calcium Waters. They are small
. chocolate -coated pellets and contain the
active medicinal principle OF sulphur in
a highly concentrated. effective form
Few people are aware Of the value OF
this form Of sulphur in restoring and
. maintaining bodily vigor and health:
sulphur acts directly on the liver and
exoretory organs and purifies and en-
riches the blood by the prompt elimina-
tion OF waste material
Our Eran6nothers knew this when
they cosed US with sulphur and mo-
lasses every spring and fall, but the
crUdicy and impurity of ordinary flow
ers OF sulphur were often worse than
70 the disease, and cannot compare with
the modern concentrated preparations
OF sulphur, Of which Stuart's Calcium
Waters is undoubtedly the best and
most widely used.
They are the natural antdOte for
liver and kidney troubles. and cure
constipation and purify the blood in a
way that often surprises patient and
physician alike.
Dr.. r. NJ. wilkins while experiment.
ing with sulphur remedies soon found
that the sulphur from Calcium was su-
perior 10 any other form. He says:
FOR liver, kidney and blood troubles,
especially when resulting from consti-
patton or malaria. I have been sur
prised at the results obtained from Stu
arts Calcium Waters. In patients suf-
fering from boils and pimples and even
oeep-seated carbuncles, ] have repeat
edly seen them CRY UP and disappear in
four or five days. leaving the skin clear
and smooth. Although Stuart's Calcium
Waters is a proprietary article, and
sold by druggists, and for that reason
tabOOed by many physicians, yet I
know OF nothing so safe and reliable
for constipation. liver and kidney trou-
bles. and especially in all forms Of skin
disease, as this remedy"
At any rate people who are tired of
pills. cathartics and so-caIled blood
purifiers" viii find in Stuart's Calcium
Waters a far safer, more palatable and
effective preparation.

THE COUNTRIES WEALTH.
Estimates Place Gain in Value of Agricultural Products of
 S24o,o 100000.

The higher prices for wheat corn and other grains, as well as cotton, 1t is esti- mated, will add to the wealth of the country this year the sum of s240, ,000,- 900. While this figure looks rather large, says the Brooklyn Eagle, it will be seen that it is by no means unconservative if little figuring is done. The wheat crop this year is, at its present price over ten cents bushel higher than it has been for the past ten or 15 years Allowing for a drop of five cents in the price between now and the end of the year, by taking the government figures for the crop, the west would be richer by about s3S,000,000 in cash than last year
 The corn crop has been estimated al over 2.000. .o00 900 bushels. but even if il is only that figure it is at prersent five cents bushel higher than it was last year, and this means an increase of s100,0 900. Of course, a difference in these figures would result if the corn Crop was so plentiful as to cause it to be used for fuel instead of being sold for cash, as was the case only a few years ago.
 In the cotton crop the conditions arc the same. In spite of the weakness oi the past three months, the price of cot ton averages more than one cent pound over last year and from three cents to four cents above the average for many Fears Nn improvement of s5 per bale on a crop which has been estimated at well over 11000000 bales, amounts to s55000,o00. Of the other grains. cats, barley and rye will undoubtedly be worth s40,000.000 more than last year, or more than the normal. This differ enee of about $240, ,000 in the value of the agricultural products of the eoun- try is bound to create stupenGous re- suits both financially and commercially.

the extension from Larissa to Gida will be S4 miles, the total distance from the Piraeus to Saloniea being BPS miles
 The first part of the line from the Piraeus to Thebes, tapping the fertile plains of Boetia, and the branch from Skimarati to Chalcis. were inaugurated by King George on March 19 of this year. and recently another section Thebes to Liyadia-was opened to traf- fic, thus completing loo miles of rail- way. On this portion of the line is Lake Cepais, which was drained by an English company, the land so reclaim ed being exceptionally fertile and capa- ble of growing anything.
 Work is being actively pushed for ward on the line beyond Livadia and Dadi and Lamia, and the branch to Stylis. on the sea. is nearly complete
 In the mountainous country between Livadia and Lamia there are great ea- gineering difficulties, including F tun- nels and several viaducts over 300 yards long and nearly 200 feet high Nevertheless this section will be finish tu lltAI stdi A idi St dlilOuHt OI iuU- nel work is also necessary between La mia and Memirly, but the difficulties are not so great as on the previous sec tion, while from Demiriy to Larissa the work is quite easy.
 When the line is completed, the jour ney from the Piraeus to Larissa will occupy ten hours. and in four more hours the traveller will reach Salonica. whence an improved service of trains will convey him to Nisch on the through route between Paris and Con- stantinople.
 By those who have seriously studied the question, it is firmly believed that the line, even if it go no further than Larissa. would pay; but, of course. the real objective is junction with the Turkish system of railways. so as to place the Piraeus in direct railway communication with the various capi- i tals of Europe. The main route for i passengers and mails to the east would i then lie through Piraeus. which is 375 miles nearer to Port Said than is B1in- | disi.

 Could she of dignified mien deep-set unflinching eyes, rare smile and meIodi- ous voice be the most despotie female sovereign in the history of the world? Has she two distinctly opposite natures? Is this the secret of her marvellous pow er? Born in obscurity, the daughter of minor officer, favorite concubine of the harem, young and inexperienced, she reached the pinnacle of authority by incredible ability, shrewdness and dar- ing. Through all the intrigue of the Chinese court since she first usurped the throne she has borne charmed life. and her enemies have arisen only to disap- pear with terrible swiftness, while her autocracy remains unchallenged. With relentless will she has stripped the en- peror of the last yestige of the legitimate authority which for a brief period he had exercised under the wise guidance of Rang Yu Wei, absolutely controlling his every word and act as well as the earthly destiny of 400 900 900 of subjects
