HONEST MEDICINE
TRY DR. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS
 FOR STOMACH TROUBLE.
Convincing Evidence Supported by 6 Guarantee That Must Convince
 The Most Skepticai.

The Most Skepticai.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are doctors prescription, used by an eminent prac- tltioner, and for nearly generation known as reliable household remedy throughout the United States. Need tess to say, no advertised medicine could retain popular favor for so long period without having great merit and it is the 5nvaluable curative properties of the pills 4hat have made them a standard remedy 1n every civilized country ill the world. Added to this is the absolute guarantee that the pills contain no harmful drug, opiate, narcotic or stimulant. A recent evidence of their efficacy is found in the statement of Mrs. N. B. Whitley, of Boxley, Ark, who says:
 'I had suffered for good many years from stomach trouble. For long time was subject to bad spells of faintness and lack of breath accompanied by an indescribable feeling that seemed to start ill my stomach. Whenever was a little rundown or over-tired, these spells would come on. They occurred frequently but did not last very long.
 II was confined to my bed for ten weeks one time and the doctor pro- nounced my trouble chronic inhamma- ton of the stomach and bowels. Since that time 1 have been subject to the fainting spells and at other times to hut- tering of the heart and a feeling as though l was smOthering. My general health was very bad and was weak and trembling.
 II had seen Dr. Williams Pink Pills mentioned in the newspapers and de- cided to try them. When l began taking the pills I was so run down in strength that I could hardly do any housework. Now could walk ten miles if necessary. Both my husband and myself think Dr. Williams Pink Pills the best medicine made and we always recommend the pills to our friends.
 Dr, Williams Pink Pills actually make new blood and give strength and tone to every part of the body. They have cured serious disorders of the blood and nerves, such as rheumatism, sciatica. anamia, nervousness, headaches, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus' dance and many forms of weakness ill either sex. They are sold by all drug gists or will be sent. postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box. siS boxes for e2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

 How does the above showing strike the farmer reader who never investi- gated the subject? Bear in mind that the test was not between improved va rieJies and admittedly non-improved varieties. The seels of each were supplied by & grower or seedSman, in full confidence that his would prove to be one of the best. True it is that some of the varieties included among the poorest may have been no bet ter than ordinary, unselected seed But the value of the test is in no wise affected. On the contrary, it is a les son to the farmer who realizes the i'm portance of planting the best variety but who does not conduct the work of selecting in scientific way.
 It will be interesting to compare the economic results of two cotton-grow- CTS, one of whom plants only the most productive and the other the least productive of the 23 competing yari- cites: The difference in value of prod uct per acre in favor of the best va rieties was $20.0S. Suppose We allow $l0 per acre as the cost e preparing planting and cultivating one acre of cotton, and $5 per acre for fertilizers. making $15 in all It is clear that the $20.05 would pay the cost of produc- ing an acre of cotton and leave $5.0S to the good
 Put it little differently. Two high ly improved and productive farms might be fertilized and cultivated ex- acIy alike in every particular for ten years, excepting that on one farm the best variety only is planted, and on the other farm only the poorest va rlety is planted. The result would be that the one farm would produce $2O per acre in excess of the other. or enough to pay all expenses of prep aration, cultivation and fertilization (not including cost of picking)
 Or suppose two farmers, of equal skill and industry, should each plant and cultivate 100 acres of exactly the same highly productive quality of land, and with the same kind and amount of fertilizer, in precisely the same man. her, for period of ten years, with the siagle difference that one plants seed of the best attainable variety of cotton, and the other plants of the poorest of the varieties tested each year. It Is clear that the farmer plant ing the best variety will produce an. nusliy $2,OO0 more cotton than will the other; or, in the ten years, s2O.- 900! This would be enough to buy ont the second farmers 100 acres at $50 an acre and have $15,000 left for other investments.-J. R. Bedding. ex-Direc. tor Georgia Experiment Station.

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURE
IMPROVED COTTON SEED.
The importance of Careful Selection
 for Planting.

4 good many farmers appreciate, in some degree, the importance of care fully selecting cotton seed for plant ing. A large number give little or no attention to the matter, and are con tent to plant the same variety year after year, only taking some pains to save seed from the bcst pickings. but very few indeed are aware of the diff ference between the productiveness of the best and of the poorest varieties. The writer, while director Of the Georgia experiment station, conducted careful field tests of varieties annually for a period of 17 years. During the ten-year period covering the years 1895 to 1904, inclusive, the number of Vari- ties annually tested ranged from IS to 30, averaging g. Taking the av- craze yields and seed of the variety that stood at the head of the list each year, and the yields of the variety that stood at the foot of the list eacn year, the results were as follows:
 Yields and value per acre (lint, 10c; seed, soc, per cwt.)

Mule Colts.

Every farmer should get him a good brood mare and raise at least one mule colt year. The tremendous revenue that is being paid by the south to the north and west for mules alone is as- tonishing. A hundred million dollars is paid out by the cotton growing sec tion annually for mules and horses. This estimate Is far too small and if actual figures were at hand to quote from it would be found that this is the very minimum.

When Hogs "staaqer."

Hog staggering" is either the re- suit of kidney worms, or some dis ease of the nervous system. Take some turpentine and rub along the back and Joins. Give one ounce of castor oil, into which you have added eight or ten drops of turpentine. In three days, if not decidedly better, give tablespoonful of sweet oil, into which put three drops Of fluid extrac; of nux vomica an dffteen drops Of oil Of gaultheria; give this for three days. The above is good for any partial par alysis in hogs.

Richest Class In the World.

You farmers, men and women, think yourselves too poor. You belong to the richest class in all the world, the land-owning class. Stick to it. even though you do have to work hard to hold the land. and though luxuries do come very slowly. Those of you in the possession of a small tract of land should have the same ideas. the same ambitions as he who has titled for him hundreds and hundreds of acres of the richest bottom lands.

important to Consider.

The most important thing to con sider in the making of corn is the humus in the land. There is no need for the farmer to buy fertilizers in such large quantities until he has used more of the mineral matter stored in his lands that he bought by the acre.

BY PUBLIC CLAMOR.
James NJ. Beck Says the Country Is
Now Being Ruled.

New York, June 15-James NJ.
Beck former assistant United States
attorney general, in addressing the
graduating class of the New York uni
versity law school in Carnegie hall
said, in effect, that today we are ruled
by public elamor. "Our government,
state and federal he declared, sis un-
questieflabiy drifting with great rapid
ity into a highly organized bureau
cratic government, whose methods are
oppressive and attempts are being
made with increasing frequency to
break down or disregard the great
constitutional limitations which were
designed to safeguard the personal
liberties of the citizen.
1.-The regulations of a lifetime are
swept away without court or jury, and
sometimes without rhyme or reason.
Trial by newspaper has nearly sup
planted trial by the courts of law. To-
day the three coordinate depart
ments of the government are the ex-
ecutive, the newspaper and the
judiciary. We have seen, both at
Washington and Albany, legislators
vote under the lash of public clamor,
for laws which are revolutionary ex-
periments in state socialism. Never
before in our public life was there so
little real manhood. Legislatures ex-
ist only as a matter of form. They
register almost without question the
demands-often ill-considered-of an
ina ginary public opinion, often arti-
ficially engendered by cunning dema-
pOo1eS"

J. w. Harrington.s Inrention.

J. w. Harrington of Parkville, Mo,
placed an order with the Topeka Foun-
dry this morning for the manufacture of
a hay-tying machine. Mr.. Harrington
holds the patent for this machine for
the United States, Canada. aIld Argen-
tin Republic. The machine is remark
able for it's simplicity. and for its small
size in the light of the work that it will
do It consists of a large hay needle
attachable to an extension steel rod.
There is also a steel spool on which two
hundred feet of wire is wound. This is
all there is to the machine. The idea is
to thrust the needle with the wire at
tached through the stack at about the
height of a mans waist. Throw the
spool over the stack and then draw it
tight by means of a crank attached to
the spool Mr.. Harrington said this
morning: 1.-The machine because of its
simplicity is all the more practicable"

ONLY ONE BODY FOUND.
Disappearance of the Minnesota's Men
Is Still Mystery.

Norfolk, Va, June 15-A report to
the Norfolk Ledger Dispatch from Old
Point Comfort says: -.. ........
only the body of George w. West
pha1. fireman, who was found, at his
post of duty was in the Minnesota s
launch when she was raised to the sur
face. There was no trace of any of the
six midshipmen or the other four sea-
men who were said to have been on
board
Furthermore, none of the capes, caps
or other articles of apparel belonging to
the Inidshipmen was to be found and
there was nothing in the launch to in
dictate that the midshipmen were aboard
when the boat went down.
THE launch looks badly wrecked, her
hull and part of the frame work which
hold the canopy being stove in. The
canvas canopy is so badly torn that it
is impossible to tell whether the flaps
were fastened down at the time of the
collision.
There is no longer any doubt that
the launch was run into and sunk by
some other vessel

Washington. June 15.-Although
there is a general movement all along
the line to weed women out of the gov
eminent departments as employees the
fair sex still control most of the jobs.
The police census just taken shows
that there are 1905 more women in
Washington than men. However. the
warfare against the employment of
women has just begun and the figures
specifies males preferred"
An official of the civil service COM
mission says that nearly every requi-

specifises 'tmales preferred"
President Roosevelt is opposed to
the employment OF women when men
can be found. He has not solitary
wornaff employed in the executive Of
fees Neither has any member of the
cabinet a woman clerk or stenographer
in his: private office.
Secretary Hitchcock of the interior
department employed a couple of
women stenogra pliers in his headquar-
tiers, but his successor. Mr. Garfield.
transferredS them elsewhere when he
came into pffice and put a couple of
young men in their places. Most OF
the bureau chiefs are also displacing

was located in 27 feet of water about
1900 yards west by south of Fort
Wool Across the little craft was a
tell tale piece of towing line serving
to convince the naval officers. that they
are right in their theory that the
launch was run down by a float of
some kind in tow of a tug. The diver
who went down to examine the launch
reported that the heads and arms of
three men were protruding from be-

OLYMPIC BURNS.
Oldest Vaudeville House in
Chicago Reduced to Ashes.
The Loss Is Estimated at Up
wards of $15O,OOO.

Chicago, June 15.-The. Olympic
theater.'the oldest vaudeville house in
Chicago, was practically destroyed by
fire at midnight last night. The loss
will exceed $15O,000. The fire caused
terror among the guests in the Union
hotel, which adjoins the theater on the
east.
The flames made rapid Roadway at
first and gave the firemen hard strug-
gle, threatening for a time to spread
to the Union hotel and the Ashland
building.
Chief Koran was feHed to the floor
by a shower of, debris and but for the
helmet that was crushed down on his
face probably would have been killed.
Several of his men were hurt.
While the firemen were fighting the
blaze from the galleries huge embers
were falling into the pit, causing
blaze that at once filled the interior of
the theater. The steel curtain that
was placed in the playhouse shortly
after the IroQuois fire, instead of be-
ing dropped was held aloft.- 1t is said
one of the commanding marshals re-
fused to order the curtain dropped
after he had been warned of the dam
ger by the stage manager of the
theater.
When the players who thronged the
College Inn and the Union restaurant
nearby became aware of the threa ten
ed loss of their belongings, they rush
ed into the street and in front of the
burning structure. offered rewards for
volunteers to carry out their things
When none appeared some of them
descended the basement stairs leading
to the. dressing rooms. and carried out
as much of the material as they could
seize. Chief Horan ordered three men
to assist in the work.
Scarcely had the last of the fremen
left the structure at the Clark street
entrances than the roof of the building
collapsed, IIhel fire not under
control until long. after midnight.
