MANIFESTATIONS IN 1905.
Highest Total in Eleven Years
Through Atlantic and Gulf Ports.

Chicago.-The tide of immigration
through the Atlantic and gulf ports
reached the highest total in eleven
years in 1906, according to the sta
tistics compiled by the railroad
agents, which show also that more
than 100000 immigrants have settled
in the Mississippi river valley states
and west during the last six years
The reports for the first two
months of 1907 show a decrease of 5000
as compared with the corresponding
months of 1906, but telegraph reports
just received by the Western Passen-
ger association, up to and including
April 5. 1907, show the volume of inn
migrant travel to have been enormous
during the month of March and the
first week in April, overcoming the
and showing an increase of $4,000
over corresponding period of 1906.
More than so per cent of the immi-
grafton was for states west of Chica-
go. In the northwest. Minnesota and
Wisconsin got the bulk of the new
population. as nearly all the Scandi-
navians were destined to those states.
The northern peninsula of Michigan
also received good share. Those
arriving through the gulf ports were
mainly from the Mediterranean coun-
tries. and the greater portion We're
destined to the southern portion Of
Texas along the new line to Browns

LAND SINKS IN NEBRASKA.
strong odor Of Oil Comes From the
Ground.

Gross. Neb. Five acres of land
west of this city have sunk fully two
feet in the past few weeks.
The ground affected is on the farm
OF Mr.. Littig. two and one-half miles
frum the city, and strong odor of oil
is rising from the ground.
Some OF the residents are of the
opinion that this country rests on a
newly forming volcano. while others
believe that the disturbed farm rests
over a vast subterranean lake of oil.
Il is asserted by some of the citi.
yeas that they have heard the distinct
lating of waves as they have washed
against hidden shores in the depth
OF the earth.
The odor of oil is very pronounc.
ed, and there Is also a strong aroma
OF birthstone.
Some of the more superstitious
have lost all interest in coal oil and
are spending their time in prayer.

WAY TO SPEND PUBLIC MONEY
Cornsll Professor Writes on Work of
Agricultural Commission.

sshington.-The scope of the work
of the commission recently appointed
to inquire into and report as to the
policy that should prevail in the ex-
penditure of public moneys provided
for scientific experimentation and re-
search in the interest of agriculture,
is discussed in letter from l.. II.
Bailey, of Cornell University to Presi-
deot David Starr Jordan of Leland
Stanford university, chairman of the
conimission. Mr.. Bailey is president
of the Association of Agricultural col
leses and Experiment Stations which
the commission represents.
President Bailey in his letter says:
There needs to be corre1ating of
subjects and methods: an understand
ink of the most effective distribution
of investigation efforts among the diff
fe4ent state and national institutions:
consideration of the influence eXerted
in reasearch in agriculture by current
methods of appropriations by legisla-
lures: discussion of what constitutes
research; the relation of this research
to the teaching and publicity func-
tions of the institutions, and, in gen
eral, such a directing of experiment
and research in the interest of agricul-
tu-e as shall economize the work, rem
der it more effective and integrate it

The Evolution OF
Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine busi-
ness is the natural outgrowth of the
old-time household remedies.
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas,
bitters, laxatives and tonics, were to be
found in almost every house, compound
ed by the housewife, sometimes assisted
by the apothecary or the family doctor.
Such remedies as picra, which was
eloes and quassia, dissolved in apple
brandy. Sometimes hop tonic, made
of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A
score or more of popular, homemade
remedies were thus compounded, the
formulae for which were passed along
from house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business is q
natura! outgrowth from this whole
some, old-time custom. In the begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, i'm
pressed by the usefulness of one Of
these homemade remedies, would take
1t up, improve it in many ways, manu-
facture it on a large scale, advertise it
mainly through almanacs for the home,
and thus it would become used over a
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE
HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK
A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna was originally one of these
old-time remedies. 1t was used by the
Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it
was offered to the public for sale. DR..
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men
monte origin. First, he prescribed it
for his neighbors and his patients.
The sale of it increased, and at last he
established a mandatory and fur
nished it to the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in a great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds,
sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal
diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE
USE OF PERUNA and its value in the
treatment Of, these ailments. They
have learned to trust and believe IN
DR.. Hartman's judgment, and to rely
an his remedy, Peruna.

A Good Story on Andrew Carnegie

1t Is no secret in Pittsburg that Mr..
Carnegie was consulted in the forma.
tion OF the list of the twenty-eight "un-
defiled" citizens of Greater Pittsburg
whose achievements in the field of
morals and industrial competition
were celebrated last week at the ban
quet of the Pittsburg Chamber of Com
merce. They do not go far in Pitts
burg until they consult Andy. When a
list of the possibilities was laid before
him, he called for blue pencil and be-
gan slashing attack along the whole
line.
AS he marked out one name after the
other-so goes the tale, on the author
ity of well-known citizen of Pitsburg,
now in New York. familiar with the
facts and a friend of Carnegie from
boyhood-the ironmaster chanted i'm
pressively from a celebrated psalm:
who shall stand in the hill of the
Lord?" And off went name.
And who shall walk in His holy
placer" OF went another.
He that hath clean hands" More
blue pencil.
And pure heart" Heavy marking,
which broke the lead.
Who hath not lifted up his soul to
vanity?" The name of very promi-
nent person with social aspiration
erased.
Nor sworn deceitfully." Pencil ex.
tremely active
He that putteth not out his money
to usury." Further rapid slashing.
Nor taketh reward against another
Renewed energy.
Then a name caught his eye, which
hovered grimly over 1t. The pencil
paused at the nomen and prenomen of
certain Scotch-American multimil-
lionaire, who has endowed libraries ga
lore, who owns the underlying bonds of
the model corporation, who would as
soon win money at bridge as in Wall
street, whose only regret is that he did
not sell certain property for twice
what he charged for it. The chanting
of the sacred song went on.
"Who sweareth to his own hurt and
changeth not" But the pencil left
that one name undisturbed, unchal-
lenged; and an expression of pleasure
fitted over Mr.. Carnegie's counten-
nance. as he broke the chain of sacred
quotation with the wise observation: ::
1T is wonderful how these ancient
Scriptures can be applied to modern
conditions"

WEIGHT AND HEALTH.
THIN, NERVOUS PEOPLE NEED
THE TONIC TREATMENT.
This Woman Took Or. Williams Pink
Pills, Gaines Thirty Pounds and
Has Been Well Ever Since.

How many women-and men too
are suffering from general decline in
health which the ordinary remedies
seem unable to check! How many hus-
bands see their wives wasting away,
steadily losing health and beauty, and
are powerless to help! Consumption
and other germ diseases find in these
debilitated systems easy prey, for the
lowered vitality is unequal to the task of
fighting off the infection of these diseases
to which most of us are almost daily ex.
posed.
The symptoms indicating the decline
which may have results so fatal could
scarcely be better described than in the
statement of Mrs. William Manley, of
90 Court street, Utica, N. Y. Her case
is typical one. She says:
"For six months after the birth of my
baby, suffered from sick, dizzy head
aches, which seemed like rush of
blood to my forehead, just back of my
eyes. Some days they twitched so I
could hardly see and black spots foated
before them. The least exertion brought
on this sickness. My appetite was poor
and was often sick to my stomach.

get headache powders l decided to try
DR.. Williams Pink Pills instead. I
soon noticed that my headache was dis
appearing and my nerves gradually

hearty appetite and l now weigh over
130 pounds. / believe the pills to be the
best tonic and builder woman can take,
as they certainly helped me when my
condition was critical and 1 have never

The great value of Dr. Williams Pink
Pills lies in the fact that they actually
make new blood and this carries health
and strength to every portion of the
body. The stomach is toned up, the
nerves are strengthened, every organ is
stimulated to do its work.
If you are ill and the treatment you
are taking does not cure you, write for

have done in similar cases.
