Manila, July Il A pleasure launch
bound from Manila to Corregidor ISL

was caught in typhoon and foun-
dered. 1t is believed twenty-five of

from other craft that came to the res
cue, picked up the fifty passengers
with much difficulty. 1t is reported
an army surgeon is among the lost.

BRIEFLY TOLD
THE PRICE OF BEEF rs TO GO UP
FOR THE PACKERS, BUT
NOT FOR PRODUCERS.
DIPLOMAT STEVENS DIES.
Five Cents Per Pound Raise in Price
The Koreans Shot Killed Mr..
stevens-Matters Of Note and Com.
ment

Retail prices of meats OF all grades
have increased two cents pound
within the last week in New York and
before another week has gone by it is
very probable that prices will go from
three to five cents a pound higher.
This is the result OF strange COM
bination OF circumstances. which has
affected the cattle raising industry of
this country. New York packers say
that IL existing conditions become
much worse it will become necessary
for the big packers to import sheep
and cattle from the Argentine Repub-
lie. England and Australia.
Beef, no matter what its quality, al.
ready is three TO FIVE cents higher than
il was a week ago. Lamb and mutton
have advanced two cents pound. In
creased demand for pork has put it
up from one TO two cents a pound,
from sausage to loin roasts and chops.
Farmers OF Illinois, Iowa and other
states, who raise live stock for the Chi
cago market, will not benefit by the in
creased price of meats established by
packers and retailers on Tuesday and
raised still higher Wednesday. The
cost OF all meat, excepting veal, has
been increased during the last two
days from one TO five cents pound.
Farmers. owing to their shipping of
all available stock during the recent
financial panic. are said by the pack
ers to have exhausted the supply and
now will not reap the benefit of the
increased price offered by packers.

NEURALGIA

The real meaning of the word Neu-
ralgia is nerve-pain, and any one who
has suffered with the malady will not
be SO anxious To know of its nature
as TO hear OF its antidote. Though
scarcely recognized by the profession
and people half a century ago. IL is
now one OF the most common and pain
full ailments which affiict humanity.
AS now generally understood the word
signifies an affection of the nervous
system, with pain in the course of the
principal nerves.
The two great causes of Neuralgia
are, Impoverishment OF the Blood
and Deficiency of Nerve Force; and
the treatment OF IL is not SO obscure
as many would be led to suppose. The
hrst thing is to relieve the pain,
which is done more quickly and salts
factorily by ST. JACOBS OIL than by
any other remedy known; the second
object is to remove the cause, which
is accomplished by the abundant use
OF nourishing food, of a nature 70

muscular and nervous systems.
