LANCASTER New ERA, June 27, 1905
The local market sprang from great
dullness two weeks ago to very satisfac-
tory activity last week. There was a
good demand, and packers are jubilant
over the situation. Most of the old stock
is now out of the warehouses, and it is
known that the 1904 goods will prove ex-
ceptionally good material for the manu-
facturers, so they are not worrying over
the situation. 1t is true, big prices were
paid for the goods, and the profits may
not be large, but the goods will go with
out much delay, and that is comfort
able feeling. The sales that have been
brought to our notice are 2O0cs sold by
M. M. Fry & Co.; 700cs sold by John D.
Skiles; 340cs sold by l. Ell. Weaver, of
which 140ce we're of the once-rejected
1901 crop, but which is proving good
seller now; 286cs sold by Bowman Bros.
In all, 1,526cs. For the corresponding
week of last year 20Ocs were sold.

During the last week or so transplant
ing has proceeded rapidly and an inn
mense acreage has been set. A consid-
cradle increase over last year is estimat-
ed. 1t has been thought that less
thinner and more seed leaf and Dutch
proportionately will be planted this year
than in several years past. Struggling
crops of thinner continue to be deliver
ed at prices ranging from to 81 cents
per pound. A little damage is being
found in lhe warehouses.

Any farmer or public-spirited business
man in Wisconsin who wishes to secure
an institute for his locality during the
winter season of 1905-1906 should send
to US for blank petition and letter OF
information. Any town. no matter how
small or far from the railroad, is entitled
to an institute, provided it is located in
farming district and has good hall in
which meeting can be held.
Farmers should talk this matter over
with their neighbors and if the sentiment
seems favorable for an institute for their
town they should write at once for an
application blank.

Of pair of nose glasses, which tie
surgeon generously deposited in the
cavity made by his knife and after

the sufferer discovered the nose

bore around in his abdominal cavity a
steel forceps which the genial surgeon
had not taken away with him. It
seems quite the common custom.

ROOSEVELT ON BAYoNETS.
How President showed Superiority
Of Knife Over Ramr0d Shape.

How President Showed Superiority
Of Knife Over Ramrod Shape.
President Roosevelt has decided views
on the style of bayonets and swords
that should be furnished to American
soldiers, says Washington special to
the New York Globe. In letter to the
secretary of war, which was recently
made public, he wrote as follows:
II must say that,I think that ramrod
bayonet about as poor an invention as
I ever saw. AS you observed, it broke
of short as soon as hit with even mod
crate violence. 1t would have no moral
effect and mighty little physical effect.
/ think the suggestion Of short, trt-
angular bayonet great improvement.
After you have gone over this subject
Of the bayonet and the sword do take
it up with me.
II wish our officers could carry r.
fies. If they carry any sword they
ought to carry a sword that they can
cut or thrust with. Personally I do
not see any point in having the cav
airy armed with bayonet, even though
the modern cavalryman is nine times
out Of ten on foot. He might have a
sword in his belt, only it ought to be a
sword that can do damage"
The president recommends that the
opinion of military attaches in the far
east on the subject Of the bayonet and
sword be submitted to the general
staff. Before any new bayonets are
issued the president will pass upon
them.
An interesting story is told in army
circles to illustrate the presidents OBJ
servation on the ramrod bayonet, says
a Washington special dispatch to the
Philadelphia Public Ledger. While
General Frazier Of the British army
was interviewing the president General
Crozier, who stands sponsor for the
ramrod bayonet, called to discuss the
invention with the chief executive. He
was extolling it's virtues, and to prove
his contention brought with him pine
board all inch or two thick.
''See how l can drive the bayonet
IlIOuSu ILLS DOdIu, Sdlu NeutIdA wv
Zier. With this observation he made a
half dozen thrusts, each of which pene-
trated the board.
But do you think it would stand
against the knife bayonet?" asked the
president.
81 most certainly do" answered Gen
eral Crozier.
The president sent for Krag rife
equipped with the knife bayonet.
Stand guard there" said the presi-
dent to General Crozier.
The president made a few f1ourishes
to assure himself of his wrist Eiove-
ment and then caught the ramroG bay
enet with a quick movement OF the
Krag rifle and cut it in two. In telling
the story later at the Army and Navy
club General Frazier said: THAT Is the
kind of a chief executive for a country
to have. He knew how to prove his
contention"
The committee to whom the entire
matter was referred recommended the
knife bayonet Of the style at present
issued to the army for use with the
Krag rifle, differing only In length,
which is increased by six inches.

 The Omaha World Herald reads that coal is selling at some of the mines in Illinois at $1 per ton, delivered on board the cars, while the Omaha people are paying SC ton for coal of the same grade. It declares that what the people ask and what they are en- titled to Is the benefit of the rise and fall in the price of coal at the mines, consequent upon the production of the coal They do not get 1t, but some- body does and it will not take long to figure that both the railroads and the coal trust are making good. whether the production Is big or little"
 We suspect that kicking will do no more good there than 1t does in other places. With the immense coal de- posits in Alabama, and the short dis tance of some of them from Montgom. cry it tsdoesn't seem right for us to be paying six or seven dollars a ton for good coal here, but we do it, just the same. We are not trying to locate the blame, if there is any, but merely stating a hard fact. and the hardship that falls on the people who must have coal.

WE STICK TO TIT.


 We have rubbed an esteemed contem- porary, The Albany, Ga, Herald, the wrong way. Some time ago in speak ing of Senator spooner we remarked that he probably felt like a man who had been run over by a drove of Mont gomery mules" This leads The Herald to break loose this way:
 We protestl Not on account of what The Advertiser says Of Senator SpOon- CT, Governor LaFollette and Wisconsin politics, but against a deliberate, pre- meditated, unpardonabIe insult to that universally respected American institu- tion, the Missouri mule.
 "A drove of Montgomery mules" in- deed! Who ever heard before of a Alabama hybrid ever done to justify this sudden claim to distinction? What poet ever apostrophized this Montgomery beast, that he should hold rank above the common herd of long, cared quadrupeds ito fortune and to fame unknown?"
 Perish the thought ot a Montgom- cry mule!" There Is but one mule when it comes to drawing comparisons or painting word or pigment pictures, and that one halls from Missouri. In peace and in war, between the cotton rows or on the boulevard, as well-disposed ser- want of man or an untamed battery of death dealing pedal extremities, wheth- CT on his native sod or transplanted to lands beyond the seas, the Missouri mule is king in his own right. His melodious voice reverberates from the Golden Gate to Labrador, from Alaska to Cape Horn and from the Philippine Islands to the Cape of Good Hope His place in history Is secure.
 No infringement on the vested rights of the Missouri mule will be counte- nanced in any civilized country.
 'Tbe Mont-- the very idea!
 Whats the matter with you? Do you think there can be no Montgomery mules unless they are manufactured here? We'll. there are and we've gol 'em. It doesn't matteF where they were made, in what atmosphere they first saw the light or where they first kicked up their heels, they are Mont gomery mules. You'd think so If you could see them. To see them career ing through the streets like a troop of wild horses to the terror and iminent peril of the people is an unlmpeacha- ble evidence that they feel themselves completely at home and unhampered liberty, and when we see them rushing by, heads and heels up. we feel as if We wanted to raise a window and as- sure them that the freedom of the city is surely theirs. and that If they want anything else they may as well take 1t. for there's no one to hinder or make them afraid. Yes-they may have been born in Missouri and bred in Ken lucky, but they are sure enough Mont gomery mules when they find them selves free ID our streets

THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.
lsO a Few Facts on the Same Subject.

l Also a Few Facts on the Same Subject. | We hear much nowadays about health foods and hygienic living, about Vege- I tarianism and many other fads along i the same line.
 l Restaurants may be found in the l large cities where no mean, pastry oi ! coffee is served and the food crank l is in his glory, and arguments and l theories galore, advanced to prove that meat was never intended for human ! stomachs, and almost mSke us believe l that our sturdy ancestors who lived four score years In robust health on i roast beef. pork and mutton must hay 6 been grossly ignorant of the laws of i health.
 Our forefathers had other things to do than formulate theories about the food they ate. A warm welcome was extended to any kind from bacon to acorns.
 A healthy appetite and common sense are excellent guides to follow in mat ters of diet, and a mixed diet of grams, fruits and meats is undoubtedly the best.
 As compared with grains and vege- tables, meat furnishes the most nutri- ment in highly concentrated form and is digested and assimilated more quick ly than vegetables and grains. Dr. Julius Remmson on this subject says: Nervous persons, people run down in health and of low vitality should eat meat and plenty of it. If
 
 may be easily corrected by the regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal Two of these excellent tab let's taken after dinner will digest sev- eral thousand grains of meat, eggs or other animal food in three hours and no matter how weak the stomach may be, no trouble will be experienced if a regular practice is made of using Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets, because they supply the pepsin and diastase neces- sary to perfect digestion, and every form of indigestion will be overcome by their use.
 That large class of people who come under the head of nervous dyspepucs should eat plenty of meat and insure its proper digestion, by the daily use of a safe, harmless digestive medicine like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets com posed of the natural digestion princi- pies, pepsin, diastase, fruit acids, and salts, which actually perform the work of digestion. Cheap cathartic medi- eines, masquerading under the name Of dyspepsia cures are useless for indiges- tion as they have absolutely no effect upon the actual digestion of food.
 Dyspepsia in all It's forms is simply a failure of the stomach to digest food and the sensible way to solve the riddle and cure the dyspepsia is to make daily use at meal time of a preparation like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. which is endorsed by the medical profession and known to contain active digestive prin- ciples.
 All druggists sell stuatts Dyspepsia Tablets at 50 cents for full treatment
