In thews day when so many men are ready in there mad race for wealth to acriflce almost everything for money the man who places duty before money is a benefactor, whose good influence upon the youth of the country is in calculable. Such a man is Gen. Leonard Wood Military Governor of Santiago and formerly commander of the Rough Riders. Gen. Wood, who is nt present in Washington to see hla wifo and to confer with the war depart ment, must have been sorely tempted when tho Washington Street Railway and Electric Light Syndicates offered him 130,000 a year to resign from the army and become its President; his salary as a Brigadior General of Volunteers, tho rank he now holds, is only 0,500. But if so, he put the temptation behind him and announced bis intention to return to his duties at Santiago, and to remain in the army as long as his services were required. That announcement is all the more praiseworthy, for having beon made after tho yellow fever was reported to have broken out nt Santiago. It is men of this stamp who proved that money worship lias not succeeded in driving out true patriotism from tho lirst position in the esteem of tho people. The, political wiso-ncres nro saying that Secretary Alger's relirumunt from the cabinet 'at an early day has been made a certainty by the formal announcement of tho alliance bolween himself anil Gov. LMngrcu for tho purpose of attempting tc put Secretary Alger into the wsat uowhcld by Senator McMillan; they say that if Secretary Alger docs not voluntarily resign, tho President will be forced to ask for his resignation by Senators McMillan and Harrows. Secretary Alger bus returned to Washington, but he isn'r. saying u wordonthh subject. The President will find himself in rather an embar rassing position should Secretary Algor not voluntarily resign before he begins an activo campaign for the Senator ship, as Senator McMillan is ono of his warmest porsonal friends. In fact the President's position is bound to be more or less embarrassing anyway. That he is a warm friend of Secretary Alger has .been fully proven by his standing by him through all tho criticism of his management of tho War Department, and keeping him in his Cabinet against the advice and protest of man; leaders of his party. It will not be an easy matter for him to maintain a strict neutrality in such a contest, no matter whothor Secretary Alger remain in the Cabinet or goes out Owing to tho war in tho Philippines and the Military control of Cuba aud Porto Rico, tho War Department lins moro favor to distribute than all tho rest of tho department put together and Secretary Algor would bo moio than human It ho did not throw soma of thoso favors whero they would advance his candidacy, if allowed by tho Presi dent to do so. Whilo War Department officials will not admit as much publicly, It is an opon secret in Washington, that they aro makiug preparations to carry out an expected order from the Presldont to enlist a considerable body of volun teers, to bo sont to the Philippines, if they should be asaed for by Gon. Otis. Stories of ex-Speaker Reed aro always sure of a respectful aud interested hear ing iniWashlngton. Tho following was known to be substantially correct by at least t. wo of the group to which it was told, in a Washington hotel, "Mr. Reed said the story-teller, has Lad his mind bout upon retiring from Congress for several years, This was known to somo of his Western friends hs far baok us tho full of '00, aud they tried to persuade him to locate in St. Louis. Congressman Chits, F. Joy, of St. Louis, and other prominent men of that city, tried to induco him to locate in the Missouri metropolis by promis ing him n certain income of 1213,000 through association with one of the best legal firms in tho state, and their support of him, at tho propor time, ni the western cnndldato for tho Presiden tial nomination of his party. Mr. Reed heard everything they had to say but declined the offer, because, ha said it was too lato in life for him to tbink of migrating from the east." Now York advices indicato that tho biggest trust of them all Is in process of incubation. It is to havo about fifty millions of dollars behind it. For tho farmers of the United States have been throwing away wasto corn sUtks to the amount of 250,000,000 ton a year. The new octopus proposed to gather in these- waste cornstalks anal make them into six different products. These aro cellulose, cardboard, paper, dynamite materail, a patent cattle food and glue Tho cellulose is now exten sively used in packing the hulls of battleships. The cardboard andpaper will be of a superior. qnality and the glue promises to be as good as any similar product on the market. After tho trust finishes with a cornstalk there will hardly be enough material left to throw away. The cellulose comes from the inside, the stalks proper will be used for the cardboard paper, and the dust produced in grinding will make tho foundation for dynamite. The patent food will be made by grinding the sulk into a coarse meal, which, cooked, sweetened with molasses and pressed into cakes, will make the best cattle food known. If this trust is susccessful in carrying out its plans it will add to the agricultural wealth of the United States so many millions of dollars every year that one hardly dares to quote the figures. Incidentally of court e the trust people will get rich if the system succeeds, and in due time will bo denounced from evorytump in the land ai oppressors of the poor and grinders of '.the faces of the widows and the fatherless. Tho trust cannot began its work too soon, however, to suit tho level headed farmers rof Neb raska who have never yet been ablo to savo a titho of tho value of there corn stalks. -- We give the best prize, viz: Value in every piece of goods sold.

A Kansas duck, which hnd faithfully stuck to business during the summer and laid several dozen of large, fawn colored eggs, complained that she was not appreciated. "See that hen over there." said tho duck, "she hasn't laid as many eggs as I have nor as big, but she has books written about her and verses composed in her honor, while nobody is savins: a word about mo." "The trouble Is." said a wise rooster standing near, "that you don't tell the public what you havo dono. You lay nn egg and waddlo off without saying a word; but that sister of mine never lays ono without lotting overybody in tho neighborhood know it. If you want to cut any ice in th'o community you will havo to advertise." The Kgg Reporters. Wu huvo read the following a great many times tho want two weoks in local exchanges, wondering all tho time if it wero truo. "Last week nt Galena, Kansas, a giddy young thing of 102 was married to a youth thirty-two years her junior.

This lady said she want ed to bo married on hur hundredth birthday but did not find the "-man bandy and had to wail a couple of years longer." "When a girl's engagement to an out- of-town man is reported," says the Atchison Globe, "It is first said she is to many a king. As time progresses tho girl's mother confesses that tho young man is a princo. It leaks out later that ho works on u salary and has to work on Saturday night, and later, just before tho wedding, no one is surprised at learning that bo Is a clerk and gives dancing lessons on tho sido to mako a living." . . lion you seo a farmer going to town with a lot of shining milk cans in tho back of his wagon, it is safe to nssumo that he is on his way to the croamery; also, that ho is n man who is on the road to prosperity.

Results Fatally in Nine Cases Out ol Ten A Cure Found at Last, Thi3 fearful disease of ton first appears as a more scratch, a pimple, or lump iu tho breast, too small to attract any notico, trnlll, In many cases, tho deadly disease is hilly developed. Cancer can not bo curod by a surgical one ration. becatiRO tho diseaso is a virulent poison in tho blood, circulating throughout tho system, und although tho sore or ulcer known as flio Cancer may bo cut away, the poison remains in tho blood, and promptly breaks out afresh, with renewed violence. Tho wonderful success of S. S. S. in curing obstinate, deep-seated blood diseases which wore considered incurable, induced a low do Bpairing sufferers to try it for Caucor, after exhausting the skill of the physicians without a cure. Much to their delight S. 8 S proved equal to tho disease and promptly effected a cure. The glad news spread rapidly, and it was soon demonstrated beyond doubt that a cure had at last been found for deadly Cancor. Evidonce lias accu mulated which is incontrovertible, of which tho following is a specimen : "Cancer is hereditary in our family, my father, a sister and an aunt having died from this dreadful disease. My feelings may be imagined when the hor rible disease made its appearance on my side. It was malignant Canoer, eating inwardly in such a way as to cause great alarm.
