1t may be interesting to compare

directors faced one year ago.
At hat time it WIS agreed that the

from any impurities III tho delivered

BY thus process, and under fair condi

a decrease of nearly 81 per cent. More
recent reports show even larger de-
clines on some roads. Net returns are
also disappointing, although the losses
in this respect have been somewhat
compensated for by extensive curtail-
ments in expenses. Now that the
roads are better able to finance their
new loans, at least a partial resump-
ton of improvements and new con-
struction is to be expected. This has
been delayed somewhat by the high
prices demanded for iron and other
construction materials; but recent con-
cesions in this respect WILL no doubt
aid in restarting the wheels of indus
try. Business failures in May were
nearly $27,O00000, or almost double
those of the same month last year
During the first five months of 1908
total failures were s160,000,000, as
against $50 900 900 for the same period
in 1907. OF late failures have been
diminishing in number and in amount
of liabilities, but these figures are en-
phatic testimony as to the severity Of
the panic. and leave but one concur
sion-uhat recovery after so severe a
blow canno. be instantaneous, not
even under the most persistent appli-
cation of the faith cure treatment.

SCHEME TO BLEED

That Advances Had to

New York, June 17.-With the pre-
vailing advances in the price OF beef
products ascribed by the packers t.

tiers, the consumption of this meat III
New York City is said by wholesale
dealers and retailers to have fallen
from % to 80 per cent below the
normal decrease. High prices exceed
ing the maximum of recent years
have been the dominant factor con-
tributing to this result. it is admitted
Demand for beef, Investigation
shows, has fallen off throughout the
city. Hotels, restaurants and fami
lies are reducing their daily orders
often by half Already the retail
prices are one-third higher than the
quotations of a year ago. Sirlolr
steaks have been quoted as high as
80 and &c cents pound while the
consumer of chuck and other in
ferior cuts of beef have felt the pinch
severely.
In many districts Of the east side
the retailers, required to meet whole
sale advances, which have aggregated
between three and four cents pound
within the last ten weeks, are sell
ing their products at prices which
yield little or no profit rather thar
take chances of further curtailin2
their trade by raising retail figures.
Representatives of the large pack
ing companies insist the advance OF
one to one and a half cents pound
within the last week in wholesale
quotations is due solely to the short
age Of cattle. They assert that had
consumption volume held to the nor
NAL figure for this season Of the year
the increases would have been much
larger
: Retailers lay the blame for the pres
ent conditions upon the packers. Yes.
terdays wholesale price of from to l.

three cents about the figures thai

tributed conditions to price manipu-
lation by so-called trust, asserting that

slaughtering interests meet each Sat
urday and agree upon prices for the
ensuing week.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies, Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous lin
ing OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out OF ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

lars, free.

$4,000 CLAIM
IS DISALL0WED

Judge Gould further held that the
claim is not a provable claim afainst
the estate of Wiley Jones. An appeal
was granted to the circuit court.
Judge Gould in an interview yes
terday afternoon stated that there
was no doubt in his mind about the
signature of Wiley Jones being genu-
inc on the paper presented by Mrs.
Simon, who is an heir of the late
Henrietta Simon, to whom the amount
was made payable. Some rather in
teresting developments are looked for
,, in the case when it is finally aired in
the circuit court, provided the matter
is gone into thoroughly. The paper is
said to have been executed for ser.

GIRLS URGED TO
ENTER BUSINESS

Chicago, June 17.-Women physi-
clans took stand advocating the right
of girls to enter any profession or to
engage in any business in preference
Ito becoming wives and mothers at a
session of the American Academy of
Medicine.
Several physicians read papers de-
ploring the fact that too many women
unsexed themselves by forsaking home
life for industrial work, and asserting
that the future of the race depended
upon the checking of "this wide
spreading evil"
Then DIR. Helen C. Putnam, of Prov
idence, r. l., startled the audience by
declaring she was in favor of woman
suffrage. She said:
every woman has the right to de-
velop her best faculties, to become ed
ucated, and to enter a business field,
where she meets many men, so she
can select the father for her children.
I favor establishing study of home
making in the public schools Of our
country"
DIR. Emma Culberson, of Boston,
said: ''Co-operation of the two sexes
alone is needed to settle the question
of the place of women in business
life"
DR.. Edward Jackson, of Denver, Col,
asserted conditions had changed dur
ing the last hundred years and that
women should be allowed to change
their habits and occupations. DR.. Otto
Juettner, of Cincinnati, Ohio, said:
''The lack of housewives and domes-
tic servants is disrupting society and
home life.
II have no sympathy VITA women
who work in stores or other indus
trial institutions for starvation wages
when there are thousands OF homes
in which they can get respectable en-
ployment better fitting them for mar
ried life
Women competing with men simply
lower the wage scale, cause a lack
iof support by men and tendency to-
ward singleness."
DIR. George Hoxie, of Kansas City
in talking about education OF women
declared it was deplorable fact that
teachers in public schools received
less wages than hod carriers.

MUCH MONEY IS
TO BE LOANED
Ease In the Financial Market Which
Reflects POSt-Panic Conditions. I'm.
nrOying Each Week-Our Banks Are
I'm Very Strong Condition.

New York, June 17.-Although stock
market values have now had con-
siderable advance notwithstanding
easy money, good crop reports and
improved business prospects are
combination which retard any great
downward reaction of importance for
the present at least, says Henry Clews.
An important influence in the situa-
ton is the monetary outlook. In spite
of large gold exports, and heavy with
drawals of government deposits, there
is a big surplus OF loaned funds in the
banks that is likely to await employ
ment until the fall crop demands as
sert themselves and general business
becomes more active. Even then there
is no prospect OF stringency as shown
by the low rates for six months time
money Such ease, of course, reflects
post-panic conditions. and is the con-
sequence of lesened volume OF bust
ness and lower prices. Our banks.
however, are in an exceedingly strong
position, and the financial situation
shows steady improvements each week.
General business shows signs of i'm
provement. The volume Of transac-
tons is still far below normal, but
buyers are taking hold and mills are
resuming in manner that is encour-
aging Some very liberal orders for
both cotton and wooden goods have
been placed this week; and the iron
trade is being stimulated by lower
prices in spite of recent official an
nouncements that quotations would be
maintained. It would be idle, how
ever, to expect too sudden or pro-
nounced a revival. A period of mid
summer quiet is close at hand, and 1t
will be some time before business is
resumed on the former scale, and then
it will be only upon a lower level OF
values and costs. Our railroad situa-
ton is still unsatisfactory, earnings
showing heavy losses owing to dimin-
ished volume OF traffic. No very great
improvement in this respect can be
expected before the crop movement be-
gins. In the second week Of May A
roads reported decrease of nearly
20 per cent in earnings, and in the
third week of May Il roads reported

In the Jefferson county court yes
terday County Judge James Gould dis
allowed a claim of Mrs. Julia Simon
Of Little Rock for $4,000 against the
estate of the late Wiley Jones, one OF
the wealthiest negroes in the South,
and who died at his home in this city
a few years ago. The claim was pre-
scented by NJ. L. Altheimer, N. J. Can't
and J. w. Crawford for the Little
Rock woman.
In disallowing the claim Judge
Gould held that while the paper was
executed during the lifetime OF Wiley
Jones and had his signature attached
thereto, it specified that the amount
claimed to be due should not be paid
until after his death, and not until all
the debts against the estate were dis

CHARGE FINALLY
BRINGS ACTION
Minister Named Special Master to In
yeStigate Arkansas Peniten-
tiary.

Little Rock. June 1.-THE state
Ipenitentiary board, at its special meet
ing Monday, determined TO go to the
bottom Of the management Of the state
convict farm in Lincoln county, and to
that end appointed the Rev. A. G. Mil
Ter, d. D., special master to proceed
to the farm and to take such testimony
and 10 make such investigation as i
deemed necessary. This action was
taken upon the suggestion Of Guy b.
Tucker, commissioner of agriculture,
and a member of the board, in the
light of reports from DR.. Robert l..
Russell, penitentiary physician, re-
garding methods and means obtaining
at the farm.
In times past Dr.. Russell has made
allegations regarding the manage
ment of the farm, in his reports, that
have attracted considerable attention.
and since DR.. Russell is insisting that
there is truth in his reports, and that
something should be done, the board
has taken notice, and will attempt to
go to the bottom.
May Not Accept.

master for this work, is one of the
