That bucking trust is uphill business may be judged from the re- port in the New York Journal Of Commerce, that: ''The hemp-grow- CTS combine. formed several months ago to fight the harvester trust, has proven a failure, and the latter is now buying hemp at its own prices. " What is known as the "hemp-grow- CTS combine" does not deal in real hemp or flax, but such grasses and fibers as are used in the manufac- ture of binding twine. Paragraph 566 Of the tariff law places all such grasses and fibers on the free list, which shows how other trusts and combines would fare if not protect ed by the tariff. Competition has broken the power of the hemp growers combine" but its competi- tor, the harvester trust, which Is protected by the tariff on the agri- cultural machinery it manufactur- CTS, is flourishing like a green bay tree. If the harvester trust was not protected by the tariff we might ex- pect to see the price of agricultural machinery much less than it now is. It will be interesting to see if the harvester trust having forced the "hemp-growers' combine" to reduce the price of the raw material, will sell twine any cheaper to the wheat growers.

Money is a drug. says Banker Clews: both call and time rates be- ing excessively low. Our bank re- serves are piling up rapidly. and have now surpassed the record. touching OO.OOO.OOO. or S12O.- 900. .OOO more than a year ago. This plainly illustrates the desirability of an elastic currency system. in which we are sadly lacking. Our currency should now be contrae ing because if is more abundant than needed. Instead 1t is expanding at a time when not wanted. because regulated bv the bond market rather than by the demands of commerce and in- dugtry. As a result there is a ten deucv 10 imitation. which is apt to retard rather than accelerate a healthy and permanent readjustment to new conditions. This over re- dundancy of funds is a more pow erfuI element in the security mar ket than is generally appreciated. Many securities are now as high as a year ago. and this in the face of business depression and shrinking dividends. This can only be partly accounted for by the spirit of hope fuIness. which shovs itself in hold ing securities for better times which are sure 70 come. Were it not for the great abundance pE cheap mUasT. many securities would not probably be selling at their pres sut level. The market leaders. however. have unlimited funds ss their command at low rates. and are in a position to sustain the mar ket against all ordinary adverse in- ausncss. Briefly. stocks are in strong hands. the foating supply is light. liquidation has been thorough. uezE points have been thoroughly eliminated. and the big men fnd Ht- tie diHcultv h supporting the mar kes against all attzeks-

The boast of the republicans that their policies have carried the coun- try safely through the panic. and that business is rapidly reviving, does not seem to agree with the facts. For instance, the United
 States Cast Iron Pipe Foundry con- pany, known as the pipe trust, has just made its report to its sock holders which shows very disap- pointing results. The president of the company says in his report:
 During November, 1907, business absolutely stopped; the company did not lose its business. There was no business. When there was added to this natural condition the depres- sion which was caused by the panic, the result was stagnation such as has never been known in the history of the cast iron pipe business in this country Not only was there a cessation of business and a sharp fall in prices in November, but there was a declining market all through the winter and early spring months" But the report tries to encourage the stockholders, al- though no dividend is declared even on the preferred stock, by saying that win the opening of spring business has improved" It need hardly be said that but very small orders would be an improvement over the entire cessation of business reported. The other branches of the steel and iron business. although not making quite as disastrous a showing, are nearly in the same fix.

STOLE CHINAMAN'S CASH.
Charley Lee Thought He Heard
Onl! Rats In the Room.

Charley Lee, who keeps a Chinese
laundry at 4O4 Grand avenue, had
troubled dreams Sunday night. sev-
eral times during the night he thought
he heard rats passing by the side of
his bed but didn't bother to light a
lamp. He just turned over and went
on dreaming Of the land Of the great
wall and crowded cities,
Yesterday when he went to the draw
e. where he had left his Saturday
night receipts he found that the to-
tall amounting to something over $14,
had disappeared The explanation OF
the strange scurrying which he had
heard during the night was right there,
for some men, how many Charlie does
not know, had passed his bedside on
their way out with the contents of the
drawer,

LYDIA E. PINKHNlM

Nature and o Woman's work com.
bined have produced the grandcst
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days Of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs Of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia e. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their pc
culiar ills, more potent and eflica-
cious thanany combination of drugs.
Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. st.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
Complete restoration to health
means so much to me that for the sake
Of other suffering women | am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years had been suffer-
ing with the worst forms Of female ills.
During that time | had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what | suffered, and at times
could hardly walk. About two years
ago | wrote Mrs. PinlSham for advice.
| followed It, and can truly say that
Lydia E. Pinlsham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. 1t is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. MufY,
it will do for other suffering women.

YALE GETS REQUEST
Blount Will Giving $450,000 to
University Admitted to
Probate.
MYSTERY DEEP AS EVER
Why Englishman Cut or Relatives for
College UnlSnown--Stoddard and
McClung In London.

London, May 25,-The will OF the late
Archibald Henry Blount was admitted
to probate today The probate was
granted after the will had been SOL
EMMY proven" This unusual course
was taken because the relatives of
Mr.. Blount, who were not mentioned In
the Will or left the smallest legacy,
threatened to contest the instrument
on the ground that Mr.. Blount was OF
unsound mind when he made the will.
To prevent the relatives from succeed
Ing in breaking the will, j. 4, Barrett,
counsel for Yale university called a
number of witnesses, including doc
tor who Is one of the witnesses to the
Will, to prove that Mr., Blount was of
perfectly sound mind at the time he
signed the instrument, and that he re-
manned so until his death The value
Of the residue to which Yale Is entitled
Is about Sib0,O00.
The mystery why Mr.. Blount chose
Yale university as his beneficiary has
not been cleared up. None Of his rela-
tives or friends can explain why he
left his money to the American college
lie paid only one short visit TO the
United states in all his life, and he
had no connections there. So far as Is
known he first notified the Yale au-
thorities Of his intention OF leaving the
college a sum of money IN 1898. when
he asked for the names of the college
trustees so that he could mention them
IN his will.
Later he sent to New Haven a copy
Of the will made that year, together
with a short note saying his estate was
valued at s35D,O0O Mr.. Blount made a
new will IN June Of 1907, a few days
before he died, but Il was almost iden-
teal with the will of 1895 In the mean
time his property had increased in
value
Mr. Blount had lived for many years
at the Athenaeum club but he lef.
there a year before he died and settled
himself in cheap lodgings, a circum-
Stance which led his relatives to be-
lleve that he was not of fully sound
mind lie died how cr, in a sani-
tarlum attended by the best special
lists

STUDY MATTER OF FEEDS.
High Prices of Grain Makes This
Necessary.

When grain is high in price, the
raiser of stock needs to study the
matter of feed more than at any other
time. 1t does not pay to give foods
that merely fill up, and that is what
the temptation is in times when prices
are inflated for the most valuable
feeds. The man that understands the
constituents of feeds will generally
find he can beat the high prices by
raising some kind of crop that will
give him big supply of cheap feed.
Thus, the man that has a good blue
grass pasture can conserve it, fertilize
it, and make it produce very large
amount of nutritious feed that will,
for some of his stock, make it pos
sible to greatly cut down on the grain
ration, though this cannot be cut out
entirely. The men that have been
feeding corn extensively to steers will
have to balance that corn with clover,
alfalfa, soy beans or something else to
decrease the amount of corn used, for
protein in corn comes very high, on
account of the large amount of starch
that has to be paid for to get a little
protein.
