THE DUCK EXHIBIT
 Al TERRITORIAL FAIR
The Contest Will Be Livelier Than It Seemed When the Premium Was Arranged.

1 w. s. Pickrell will not have the at the territorial fair as he thought he would. A year ago he and C. B. Wood each bought pair of ducks from Mrs. Plaw. a noted California exhibitor at the fair, and both of them have since been successful in the propagation of ducks A feH weeks ago Mir Pickrell and Mir Wood met in a boastfll spirit and began talking about ducks. Be- fore they had finished they decided to put up s10 cup for the duck exhibit. Mir. Wood did not think of it at the time, though MT. Pickrell probably did, that so far ts they were concerned Il would be a one-man contest, for Wood subsequently, became superin- tendent of the poultry department. as PickEell figured he would, and so was excluded from making entries in that department.
 But it has turned out that the duck contest is going to be a very spirited one. Mrs. Piaw is coming back with ducks. the like of which she says were never before seen on this side of the water. She has a duck of an en- tirely new pattern, called the Buff duck. developed by the same man who is responsible for the Buff Orpington chicken. Mrs. Plaw writes that as great as a performance as the Buff Orpington was it is really amateurish in comparison with the effort which brought the Buff duck into being. Mrs. Plaw will also have a line of Indian Runners.
 There will also be a local competitor upon whom MT. Pickrell had not counted. Joe Bush has been for months importing ducks from every where into the valley regardless of cost. and he is hopeful of capturing that cup which MT. Pickrell had de- signed for himself. neglecting only to have his name engraved upon it.

THREE TRAINS WRECKED
TWO KILLED AND SEVERAL IN JURED IN WRECK AT BIRMING-
 HAM, ALA.

Birmingham, Ala, April-As the re- suit of q double wreck on the Southern railway a short distance east of Wood lawn, suburb of Birmingham, early Sunday, two men are dead and a num- Der injured.
 The deaG: Cal B. Harris, fireman on wrecker, Tom Beverly, brakeman on wrecker. The injured. James Wages, Atlanta, engineer, skull fractured, head hurt and face scratched s. H. Hill, engineer, internal injuries, Thom- as Powell, engineer, bruises on body, white fireman, shoulder dislocated, two postal clerks, slightly injured, white passenger, knee cut.
 The unusual character of the wreck makes it surprising that the casual ties were not more. A freight train with a dead engine in front was com ing toward Birmingham.
 The operator, it is said, allowed No. 37, the passenger, to enter the block and it crashed into the dead engine, smashing them both and demolishing several cars. Three cars of the freight train were thrown across the east bound track almost at the instant that the wrecker en route to Hefin, Ala, passed.
 The wrecker struck them and prac- tically the whole train piled into the ditch Two men were caught under the engine.
 The baggage and mail cars of the passenger train were torn up and the three demolished engines with the de- bris strewn about presented a grew some spectacle.

The Evolution of
 Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine Dusi- 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 aloes 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 a natural outgrowth from this whole some, old-time custom. In the begin ming, some enterprising doctor, inn pressed by the usefulness of one of these homemade remedies, would take it 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. It 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 nonite origin. First, he prescribed it for his neighbors and his patients. The sale of it increased, and at last he established a manufactory and fur nishsd 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 it's value in the treatment of these ailments. They have learned to trust and believe in pr. Hartman's judgment, and to rely orAis remedy, Peruna.

MRS HENRY LEE

Owing to modern methods of living not one woman in a thousand ap- breaches this perfectly natural change without experiencing train of very annoying and sometimes p ainf ul symptoms.
 This is the most critical period of her whole existence and every woman who neglects the care of her health at this time invites disease and pain.
 When her system is in deranged condition or she is predisposed to apoplexy or congestion of any organ, the tendency is at this peri o d likely to become active and with a host of nervous irritations make life burden. At this time also cancers and tumors are more liable to form and begin their destructive work.
 Such warning symptoms as sense of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches, backaches, melancholia, dread of inn pending evil, palpitation of the heart, irregularities, constipation and dizzi- ness are promptly needed by intel ligent women who are approaching the period of life when this gre change may be expected.

companies and the men are alike
responsible. 1t may be freely admit
ed that the wages paid expert tele-
graphers are too low; lower, indeed,
than paid to expert labor in any other
avenues of business. This arises, in
great part, from the fact that there
are few opportunities for employment
to telegraphers outside of the two
companies which monopolize the
business of the country, and which
work together, as general rule, in
harmony. 1t would seem that some
method could have been found to raise
wages and settle other disputes less
drastic than strike, in which the
loss to men and employers is but a
petty fraction of the loss, damage and
general inconvenience which the public
as a wholes uffers.--P. l.

WHY the CITY GROWS.

Ancient causes of city growth we're
temporary; modern causes are per-
menent.
( This latter growth is due to three
causes: ~ Application of machinery
to agriculture; (2) substitution of
mechanical power for muscular; (9
the railway.
These causes are compulsory. There
is no return to the soil. All expedients
to reverse city growth are fallacies.
A majority will live in cities. This
is now true Of fifteen States. In
eight it has reached two-thirds.
This painfully complicates religious,
social and POLITICAL problems.
The city, by its numbers, its
wealth, its press, sways the world.

THE TELECRAPHERS' STRIKE.

The business of the country is
threatened with an immense amount
of embarrassment from the strike of
the telegraphers, which seems about to
extend to all of the larger cities of
the country. Already it has resulted
in great disturbance to business, and
in money loss to individuals out of
all proportion to the petty matters
which are in dispute between the two
telegraph companies and their
employees.
Indeed, it is difficult to learn exactly
what are the matters in dispute. On
the surface, the trouble appears to
have arisen from an absurdly inade-
quate cause. A telegrspher employed
at Los Angeles was discharged. The
manager of the Office says he was dis
charged for neglect of duty. His
fellow employees say that the discharge
was due to his activity in union affairs.
On the failure to reinstate him, the
Office force at Los Angeles struck.
Nonunion men were hired to take the
places of strikers. Telegraphers in
other cities refused to handle messages
fromLos Angeles sent by the nonunion
operators, and the strike, from this
cause, is spreading all over the coun-
try. 1t appears, further, that the
action was without approval of the
national officers, was taken hurriedly,
and was due in every instance to
local action. without any serious at
tempt to compromise the difficulties
before throwing all of the business Of
the country into hopeless confusion and
causing an incalcuIable. money loss.
For this injury to business the two
