to admit that the Consolidated Is a great
property.
II have been asked when the Con-
solidated is boing to pay dividend. !
can only say that that is matter to be
determined by the board of directors
and will probably be taken up at its
next meeting. l will say. however. that
the Consolidated is in splendid condi-
ton financially. The report that we
were recently compelled to borrow
1,000, 900 is pure fabrication. At the
time the. Combination was purchased.
we borrowed $1,000.OO0 from Mr..
Baruch of New York and he took an
option on 100000 shares of Console
dated stock at $7.75. The option ex-
pires month before the loan is due,

ton, and the ledge is growing richer
with. every additional foot of depth.
The strike is regarded as remarkable
from the fact that 1t was made so
near the surface. The officers of the
company and a number of mining men
visited the property a few days ago
to examine the mine and verify the
strike. J. w. Thompson, an old Black

HEARINGS ARE ENDED
Wisconsin Railroad Commission Has
Finished Its Work at Superior
Attorneys for Roads to Be
Heard at Madison

Superior-The Wisconsin railroad
Superior and the members went back
to Madison. The most important
case heard by the commission was
the one charging the Great Northern
and Omaha railroads with discrimina-
ton against Superior shippers and
grain men by leasing their elevators
and thus turning them into private
houses.
A large amount of evidence was
taken on this question and the attor-
neys for the roads will be given a
chance to put in their testimony at
Madison May 2. All of the evidence
offered by the Superior people was
along the same general lines. 1t told
of the hardships worked on the Su-
perior commission men by making the
elevators private houses, as it gave
them no place to store their grain
and forced them to either 20 out Of
business or move to Duluth. Some of
the most important testimony of the
hearing was given by w r.. MacFad-
den, the North Dakota member of the
Wisconsin Grain & Warehouse com
mission. He told how the shippers
in the Dakotas are defrauded and
cheated by the Minnesota inspection
and how anxious they are for Wiscon-
sin inspection, also for a public house
to store their grain. He referred TO
HIS offer to lease the Dakota people
his elevators at this point and stated
that meeting will be held at Fargo
to decide on this question.
What the Superior grain men hope
to get as a result of this hearing is TO
have the commission decide that il
has jurisdiction over terminal rail.
road property and order the roads TO
open their elevators to the general
public. II this is done it will prac-
tically settle the famous grain fight
in favor of the Superior people.

The Evolution of
Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine ousi-
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 doetsr@
Such remedies as picra, which
aloes and Quassia, dissolved in apl =
brandy. Sometimes hop tonic, made
of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A
score or more of popular, homemade
remedies were thus compounded, the
formulate for which were passed along
from house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business is g.
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, oid-time custom. In the begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, I'M
pressed by the usefulness of one Of
these homemade remedies, would take
it up, improve 1t in many ways, manu-
facture it on large scale, advertise it
mainly through almanacs for the home,
and thus it would become used over
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
nisned 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.. Hartmsn's judgment, and to rely
on his remedy, Peruna.
