A NOTABLE ANNIVERSARY.

Two days of next week will be devot-
ed by the Salvation Army in America
to the celegration of it's twenty-fift
anniversary. Twenty-Five years ago
eight persons constituted the army in
this country. Now it's numbers are
estimated at nearly four thousand Off
GERS and enlisted persons stationed at
736 outposts. 1t supports 143 insti-
tions for the poor and needy, has in
operation three, farm colonies, to which
the energetic poor of the cities are
helped and supported, while they raise
a first crop. The army expends annu-
ally for the relief Of the poor 100000,
nearly a million in cash. When mem
bers of this great religio- charitable in
stitution gather next Saturday in the

TIL RIGHT KIND OF MAYOR.
[Star Clipper.]
It's time for burning protest
against mayoral impetuousness and
headstrongness The mayor of Eldora,
G.. Il. Gilman. saw a man insult lady.
He at once seized the fellow, escorte
him to the Jail and had him jagged
before the culprit had time to size UP
the situation. Next morning he fined
the tough, gave him a lecture and let
him go. There was an impetuousness
for you. He might have sent for the
marshal to make the arrest. The next
day he might have opened court, called
in the city attorney, appointed an at
torney for the defense. He might even
have called jury. and he might have
done several things besides that he
did not do. But he was mavo1 and he
knew it. He knew his duty and took
the shortest route. We take off our hat
to him. We wish there were more like

the purchasers being to breed them.
Nevertheless, many small mean geld
lngs are each spring bought for farm
consumption. We cannot see where
there Is any money to be made by US
ing geldings on the farm, save us a
preliminary to selling them Mares do
just as much work and will breed at
the same time. A gelding returns
nothing but the work he does for his
purchase price and the feed put into
him. OF course, the geldings cost less
money, but is there real economy in
buying a thing because it is cheap
when a profit can be made on the eX-
penditure of a little more money and
none from the purchase of the cheap
article? We know that the wise far
mer is he who buys as heavy mares
as his purse will ALLOW. No farmer
should buy mare weighing less than
1,4OO pounds and 1900 or 1000 pounds
is far better still. 1t does not take such
Il great deal of money to buy pair of
1000 pound mares. They can be got
for from $500 to $3.50. perhaps for as
little as $3.50 or $500, and surely there
is more real economy in such a pur-
chase than in paying $3.50 or $3.50 for
pair of mares weighing LOO or $1,000
pounds each. The added amount of
work done will make ample interest
and the first foals will far more than
make up the purchase price.

Nervousness
A Prompt and Permanent Cure by
New Method.

Nervousness is condition not easy
to define, but the common everyday
use of the term indicates It's preva-
lence
Nervousness marks a lack of nerve
force, a lowering Of vital energy, and
is the starting point of prostration of
nerves, brain and vital organs.
Nervousness is not a disease, but
a condition caused by exhaustion of
some of the vital elements of nerve
matter NVheeler's Nerve Vitalizer
contains all the chemical parts that
make nerves strong and powerful and
when taken into the stomach they are
liberated in the form of gases which
are taken up by the blood, and from it
absorbed by the nerves. This absorb
ton continues until all the elements
lacking are supplied and health is
restored.
There is positively no form of nerve
or organic weakness, even of the most
advanced forms, that will not yield to
the influence of this medicine. Write

prices: January, s1.55; February
$3.50; March, s1.40; April. s1.2O May,
5000; June, s0.S6; July. 900; August

During the current year prices have
been: January, $1.50; February. $1.40;
March. s1.30. The average price paid
for the six months commencing with
October and ending with Marh, 1903

the February surplus year ago. Feb
ruary's gain reduced the deficit for the

Mr.. GARFIELD SHOULD TESTIFY.

A. special federal grand jury is be-
ing slowly secured in Chicago to inves-
tigate charges of infractions of the
Sherman law by Chicago packers. Some
difficulty is being met in securing the
venire, but 1t is likely to be completed
today and the investigation proceeded
with. Every precaution of secrecy will
be taken in the presentation of evil
dence and all witnesses watched by
secret service men who will accompany
them from the court to their lodging
places, and keep them under the clos
est surveillance. 1t is rumored that
one firm of packers has agreed to turn
states evidence but this is emphatic
ally denied by the lawyers of the firm
In question.
This case will be watched with ex-
IRENE interest. The public is far from
satisfied With Mr.. Garf1eld's report on
the packers. 1t varied too greatly
from the conclusions drawn by meat
producers and consumers from the
facts at hand and from general OBJ
servation. The public has long been
satisfied that a working agreement on
purchase prices for livestock and selling
prices for the product exists among
the packers. Mr.. Garfield's report has
not changed this belief. 1t has caused
uncertainty and increased anxiety to
see the position of the packer toward
the producer and the consumer definite
~ determined.
Mr.. Garfield and his assistants, in
his inquiry, Should be put on the stand
at Chicago. Some portions of his re-
port, it is said, have never been given
to the public. Mr.. Garfield should have
an opportunity to explain how he ar
rived at the conclusion that the meat
packers work up a, steer at an 80 per
cent profit. Perhaps careful examina-
ton might reveal that he had failed to
carry a ten to the proper column, or
made some mistake in figures that vi
tally affect the result. Eighty cents is
too little for the packer who should be
granted g, reasonable profit.
Whatever the result of the findings
of the court, it must be for the good of
the livestock industry, for the public
agitation of the charges that are to be
investigated in these proceedings of the
court which begin today has, in the
opinion of every one familiar with
livestock affairs, been damaging to the
business interests both of packers and
cattle producers alike. as consumption
of meats had at various times been APP
preciabiy reduced.
