WEALTH AT SEAS BOTTOM.
Untold Treasure of Pure Manganese
Lies Under the Pacific Ocean.


In spite of the enormous inroads
made on this earth's great store OF
wealth, diamonds, gold, oil, gas. coal,
iron and other materials, recent in
vestigations have brought to light the
interesting fact that treasure fields
containing fabulous wealth still re-
main intact.
Investigations have proved, for in
stance, that huge areas of the floor
of the Pacific are strewn thick with
immense deposits of nodules of pure
manganese. Invent a practical and
economical method of recovering it
and the individual who does so will
at once become rich beyond the
dreams of avarice.
The most crying need today is a
substitute for Para rubber. It is GER
tain to be discovered sooner or later.
Celluloid and oxidized linseed oil are
useful for some purposes for which
rubber is used. but for cycle and auto
mobile tires real rubber is the only
material with the necessary elasticity.
The inventor Of a substitute would
soon become a multimllllonaire.

Remarkable Cures
Effected
By Pe.ru-na.

Under date of January 10, 1897, DIR.
Hartman received the following letter:
my wife has been sufferer from a
complication of diseases for the past
twenty-five years. Her case has baffied
the skill of some of the most noted ply
siciaus. One of her worst troubles was
chronic constipation of several years
standing. She was also passing through
that most critical period in the life OF
woman-change of life.
In June, 1895, wrote to you about
her case. You advised course OF
Peruna and Manalin, which we at once
commenced, and have to say it com
pletely cured her.
about the same time wrote you
about my own case of catarrh, which
had been of twenty-five years standing.
At times l was almost past going.
I commenced to use Peruna according
to your Instructions and continued ITS
use for about a year, and Ii has COM
piefely cured me. John 0. Atkinson.

No. $50, providing for the separation
Of the whites and blacks in the high
school of Kansas City, Kansas. ana
no problem has been more dihcult
for me to solve satisfactorily to my
self than this one. 1t has seemed 10
me to be a question vastly more than
local and to involve great moral, edu-
cational and racial principles, and IN
cidentaIly some legal and financial
considerations also. My father'
though living in the south before the
War of the Rebellion. was an original
and intense abolitionist and l have
believed from boyhood that the black
people should have all the rights and
privileges under the law enjoyed ny
the whites. have watched with In
creasing admiration and pride the
wonderful progress made by TINS
people since the immortal Lincoln
made them free. am in hearty sym
pathy with them in their great strug'
gle for higher and better things and
in perfect accord with the Roose-
welt idea that every man should have
a square deal regardless OF race or
color.
This Kansas City proposition has
seemed to me in its general aspects
to be a step backward, concession
to the Southern ideas in such matters
with which | have no sympathy "nat-
ever. but the local conditions are Pc
cular and | have all along believed
that it were better for both races IN
Kansas City, Kansas, that the separa-
ton proposed in this bill should be
made. Under the law in this state
in cities of the first-class such sepa-
ration is optional with the boards OF
education in all the grades up to the
high school. and the whites ana
blacks have been separated in all the
lower grade in Kansas City, Kansas
for years. Without yielding an iota
of my conviction in reference to the
race problem, with all my sympathles
going out toward these struggling
people and with no sympathy or pa
thence with those who would put
straw in the way of their progress
| have simply come to the conclusion
that under present unfortunate loca
conditions the permanent and bes'
interests of whites and blacks alike
in Kansas City, Kansas, will be bes'
subserved by permitting this bill te
become a law. and in this opinion
seem to be sustained by an over
whelming majority of the people OF
the ground as we'll as by very large
majority of the many able and con
servative men with whom i hav'
counseled from other parts OF I'M

part of the white people of kansa

equipped as the present high schoo
building. will be furnished for tn

It IS IN THE BLOOD
Neither Liniments nor 0intments
Will Reach Rheumatism How
Mr.. Stephenson Was Cured.

People with infamed and aching
Joints, or painful muscles; people who
shuttle about with the aid Of a cane or a
crutch and cry, Oh at every slight Jar,
are constantly asking, What is the best
thing for rheumatism ~
To attempt to cure rheumatism by ex-
ternal applications is foolish waste Of
time. The seat Of the disease is i'll the
blood, and while the sufferer is rubbing
lotions and grease on the skin the poison
in the circulation is increasing.
Delays in adopting sensible treatment
are dangerous because rheumatism may
at any moment reach the heart and prove
fatal. The only safe course for rheumatic
sufferers is to get the best possible blood
remedy at once.
Mr.. Stephenson S experience with this
obstinate and distressing affection is
that of hundreds. He says:
"About year ago was attacked by
severe rheumatic pains i'll my left
shoulder. The pains were worse in wet
weather, and at these periods caused me
the greatest suffering. I tried number
of treatments and ointments, but they
failed to alleviate the pains
Then he realized that the cause must
be deeper and the pain only surface in
dication. He adds:
al had heard DIR. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People recommended as a cure
for rheumatism, and when found that
Twas getting no relief from applications,
I made up my mind that l would try
them. Before the first box was gone
noticed that the pains were becoming
less frequent, and that they were not so
seyete as before. After the second box
had been used up was entirely free
from discomfort, and have had no traces
of rheumatism since"
The change in treatment proved by
almost immediate results that Mr..
Thomas Stephenson, who lives at No.lI5
Greenwood street, Springfield, Mass,
had found the true means for the pur1fl-
cation and enrichment of his blood.
On Williams Pink Pills are without
donbt the best of all blood remedies.
They effect genuine and lasting cures IN
rheumatism. They do not merely deaden
the ache, but they expel the poison from
the blood. These pills are sold by all
druggists.

Topeka. Feb. 27.-After running

days ago. so the death of the house

of getting any legislation now.

Son of Springfield, S D.. As the cattle
stood in the stalls in the barn, groom
ed to perfection, they presented a beau
tiful sight. A large tent was erected
in the rear of the barn, provided with
elevated seats. and at 80 D. N. an
auction sale of the herd was opened.
Besides large number of local farmers
in attendance there were many breed
ers from outside points, who came to
secure choice animals to add to their
herds The stock was all catalogued in
neatly printed pamphlets which were
distributed in the crowd.
When the sale commenced at / &c
there were about 400 men in the tent.

the good qualities of the cattle and
sales started at once, prices ranging,
for heifers, at $95 up.
