EYES UF COTTON TRADERS
 ON GOVERNMENT REPORT
BnIiish Effect Is Predicted. Giving Spinner
 Encouragement.

Practically no trading enllvened the cot ton market yesterday. prospective buyers waiting upon the government report which will be issued today. few small lots were sold at 10 cents but the total number of bales of cotton which changed hands was Insignificant, and much more of the staple was offered than the demand would take care of.
 The government report Is expected to be distinctly favorable to the spinners and will probably result in further stagna- ton of the market, spinners thus receiving encouragement to walt upon the now crop for their fall supply.
 Futures remained at q standstiil. manipu- iators appearing content to await develop ments incident to the issue of the govern ment report before further display of activ- ity. The market closed about as on yradnesday

THE PUBLIC BENEFITED.
MiddIebury People Greatly Inter
estud in the Generous Offer Of
DIM. Il. Sheldon

The people have already demonstrated
that they should rather trust man who
is naturally honest, than one who was
honest only because he had to be.
Dr. w. II. Sheldon has a firmly es-
tablished reputation for square dealing
and sterling honesty, Whey they told
the people that Rexall Remedies are the
purest and most dependable remedies
that it is possible for modern science to
produce, and that they would tell the
public exactly what each one of these
300 remedies contained, and that they
sold Rexall Remedies on their own per-
sonal guarantee that they would give en-
tire satisfaction or the medicine would
not cost the user a single cent, they
were believed.
Ever since this announcement the
store of Dr. w. H. Sheldon has been
crowded by people buying Rexall Rene
dies; all of which proves that DR.. w. III.
Sheldon has the confidence of the people
and that honesty is the best policy.
There is no "cure all'' among the Rex
all Remedies-tbere are 300 different and
separate medicines; ane for each human
Ill, and each unquestionably the best of
its kind.
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are particu-
larly recommended for the positive cure
of stomach irritation, indigestion and
dyspepsia. They are rich in Bismuth
Suhnitrate Pepsin and Carminatives, and
are prepared by special process which
perfects and enhances the great curative
value of these well known medicinal
agents. This remedy sells for 25c pack
age. Everyone suffering from stomach
disorder should try Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets, inasmuch as they cost nothing If
they do not satisfy.
DIR. w. ii. Sheldon is certainly fortu-
nate in securing control of the sale of
these remedies, and we urge everyone in
need of medicine to investigate and take
advantage of their frank and generous
offer.

A million suns, ablaze,

Thrill my enraptured gaze.

To death condemn the soul?

Of life beyond the tomb
In cycles of immortal youth
Each one a spring time bloom.

Tariff False Promises.

The Republican party has sinned
away it's last day of grace for correct
Ing the iniqulties of the Dingley tariff.
1t had from the great reciprocity con-
vention held in Chicago two years and
a half ago notice unmistakable that the
West was tired of the robberies it suf-
fered through that constituencies law.
The only reply from the Republican
Congress was that the Dingley act was
the fountain head and the foundation
stone of all our prosperity. One cleo
tion of Congressman has been held since
that time, In which the Republican par
ty stood pat on the tariff and the ma
jority in the new Congress is stiE stand
ing pat.
In view of this record. promises by
Republican leaders in the Senate and
in the House that something will be
done to the tariff right after the cleo
ton are not worth the breath that ut
tiers them.
If revision of the tariff Is clearly
seen to be necessary there is no better
time than now to revise It, An ounce
of performance is better than a pound
of promise in any market especially
when past experience convinces that
the promise is insncere.
If the Republican party wishes the
people of this country to believe that it
is honest in what 1t says. the goods
must be delivered before the votes. II
the Republicans cannot lift the crush
ing load Of tariff taxation before the
election the Democratic party will en-
deavor to do it after the election-St.

How Washington Looked.


George Washington was exceedingly
tall, and, vixen young, quite slender
He had enormous hands and feet. His
boots were No. Ii aud his ordinary
walking shoes No. H. He was a man
of muscle. During his service in TIE
army he weighed 200 pounds, and was
so strong that he could lift his tent
with one hand, although 1t usually re-
quired the strength of two men to place
it on the camp wagon. l mean, OF
course, when it was folded up and
wrapped around tie poles. Washing.
ton could hold musket with one hand
and fire 1t. He was good shot and
good swordsman. The pictures of the
father Of our country make you think
that Washington was a brunette. His
face Is dark and somber. The truth s
he had a skin like an Irish baby, and
his hair was almost red. He had
broad chest, but not full one.
His voice was not strong, and dur.
ing his last days he had hacking
cough. His eyes were cold gray, and
it is said that he seldom smiled, al
though there is reason to believe that
he had considerable Eumor about him
His nose was prominent. He was par
ticular as TO his appearance and fas
tidious in dress He wore plain clothes
and always kept himself wen shaven
acting as his own barber.
