An aching back is instantly
relieved by an application of
Sloan's Liniment.
This liniment takes the place
of massage and is better than
sticky plasters. It penetrates
without rubbing through
the skin and muscular tissue
right to the bone, quickens the
blood, relieves congestion, and
gives permanent as well as
temporary relief.

The seemingly authoritative announce
laent that the United States Steel Cor
poration intends to construct a gigantic
steel manufacturing plant at Duluth con-
firms the expectations of those who have
been watching developments in the steel
and fuel situation. A steel plant at Du-
luth will be close to the ore supplies, and
therefore be in position to secure the
raw material at low figure. Further
more, it will be the terminal of RETURN
voyages of one fleets, and therefore i'm
position to secure cheap fuel by way of
the water Route. AS to the shipment of
finished product, the proposed new plant
will be advantage0usly located for the
trade of the growing northwest, includ-
ing the Canadian provinces.

DEATHS TOLL FROM COAL MINERS.

You've stood at a railway crossing, watch
ing a modern 120 ton locomotive moving at
thirty miles an hour and trailing after 1t
twenty-five or more steel coal cars, each with
100000 pounds of coal, hurrying toward its
ultimate market? Did it ever occur to you
that for every 100000 tons Of coal whisking
past you in this manner the toll Of one hui
man life already has been taken at the mine?

The uprising of British meat consum-
ers against the Chinese pork which was
recently foisted upon the London mar
ket lis explained by the fact that no
less than 9 per cent. of the car
casses from China recently imported
were fGund to be infected with tuber-
culosis. This discovery was made on
She inspection of consignments which
bore a label affixed at the Chinese port
of shipment bearing the assurance that
the meat had been medically examined
and certified to be free from disease"
The specua tors who tried to get rich
on this sChinese pork discovered that
consumers have views as to the charac-
ter of meats and are not governed en-
firely by consideration of economy.

The new overland wireless telegraph
record of clear communication between
Duluth and New York city, a distance
of 1891 miles, is announced closely upon
the heels of the new ocean wireless rec
ord reported by the army transport Bu-
ford, which exchanged messages with
stations on the Pacific coast when four
days westward from Honolulu, or $500
miles from the American continent. The
difference between the two records re-
veals the strength of the disturbing in
fluenees on land, which are more evident
in the day than at night, when wireless
felegraphing is easier and clear.

One of the results of yesterdays hur-

movai of the wreck of the Maine from

was at it's height Spanish brig was
swept from it's mornings and carried to
the point at which the Maine lies part
IL out of water, just about as it was
left by the explosion. The brig stuck
SO fast to the wreck that two tugs were
required to pull it off. Heretofore it

teal detriment to the harbor. This opin-
ion will not be advanced hereafter.
