Tho spectnclu of tho sugar trust
throttling tho beet sugar Industry,
as it in manifestly trying to do in Cal
ifornia, will not make tho public more
willing to tolerate legislation favora
ble to tho trimt when congrens incetH

United Stales government has been at
mich pains to encourage beet sugar
production.
IIIm rower In Almolutc.
Ono of tho most absolute of tlio
world's uionarchn Ih tho nhnh of
rot-niii, who U master of tho lives and
goodn of nil tils subjects. The whole
rovenuo of tho country being ut their

to amass large private fortunes. That
of tho present occupant of tho throne
Ih reported to amount to $25,000,000
or $30,000,000, most of It represented
by diamonds.
Hot Weather Knvorn Hoc.
Tho approach of spring in tho Hoer
country makes the outlook for tho
llrltish rather blue, so far as regards
tho chancer of ending tho wnr within
tho next fow weeks. South Africa is
now having its winter, which is un
favorable for tho weaker side in a war
like tho present. When tho grass, two
months honcr, begins to peep above
tlio ground and vegetation in general
beginn to grow tho food for man and
bcnBt will bo moro plentiful than it is
now.

Jacob Tierce, n Grand Army veteran,
who died u fow days in Denver, Col.,
wan known in Ohio in tho years pre
ceding tho civil war as a director of
tho "underground railway," and
through him many a slave was helped
to freedom beyond tho Canadian
frontier. His principal work during
tho war was us wardmaster of all tho
union hospitals in Nashville, Tenn. Tn
tho lino of his duty it foil to his lot
to close tho eyes of moro than 1,000
boys In blue.
Tho l-'lmt of ltd Kltiil,
All tho railroads, witli four excep
tions, centering in Chicago havo ac
cepted tho proponed terms to build a
$40,000,000 union railroad station. It
is to combine both passenger and
freight, facilities, and will bo equipped
to innko it tho llnest structure of its
kind in tho world. There has always
been a great desire among railroad
men of Chicago to bring tho eastern
and western roads together in tho
same structure, and this union station
will accomplish tho object.
Fond for Dime Novel Writer.
Tho story of tho thoft of $3110,000
worth of gold bars and bullion from
tho Selby smelter vnlut at Vallojo,
Cnl., with tho probability that all will
bo recovered, invites tlio enthusiastic
attention of dime noved writers. Tho
most mnarkablo feature of the case
in tho fact that thiH robbery of 1,200
pounds of solid gold scents to havo
been tho work of ono man. Tito most
dramatic part of tho story is tlio fact
that tho successful plunderer gave up
his rich booty, though it was hidden
at the bottom of an ocean bay.

the great skin cure, for preserving;, purifying:, and beauti
fying the skin of infants and children, for rashes, itchings,
and chafings, for cleansing the scalp of crusts, scales, and dan
druff, and the stopping of falling hair, for softening, whitening,
and soothing red, rough, and sore hands, and for all the purposes
of the toilet, hath, and nursery Millions of Women use Cuticura
Soap in the form of baths for annoying irritations, inflammations,
and excoriations, for too free or offensive perspiration, in the form
of washes for ulcerative weaknesses, and for many sanative,
antiseptic purposes which readily suggest themselves to women,
especially mothers. No amount of persuasion can induce those
who have once used these great skin purifiers and beautif iers to
use any others, especially for preserving and purifying the skin,
scalp, and hair of infants and children Cuticura Soap combines
delicate emollient properties derived from Cuticura, the great skin,
cure, with the purest of cleansing ingredients and the most refresh
ing of flower odours. No other medicated soap is to be compared
with it for preserving, purifying, and beautifying the skin, scalp,
hair, and hands. No other foreign or domestic toilet soap, how
ever expensive, is to be compared with it for all the purposes of
the toilet, bath, and nursery. Thus it combines in ONE SOAP
at ONE PRICE, the BEST skin and complexion soap, the BEST
toilet and baby soap in the world.
