I made a personal investigation of the Hot Springs in South Dakota, and believe they are of great value to invalids. Water, free from organic compounds or chemical im purities, and a delightfully pure, dry atmos phere with plenty of sunshine, arc essential for the repair of diseased tissues, and such conditions obtain at Hot Springs. S. D.

For such ailments I find the atmospheric conditions especially commend able, being light and whollv free from that humidity so prevalent In till and lower altitudes. The clear, pure springs aro con stantly issuing out of the rocks at temper ature about eiiuul to the normal body heat and potent in therapeutic properties that aro very superior in benefitting nervous affec tion. The high altitude provides a pure, dry air not iiossihle in other health resorts however artificially beautified.

Gentlemen Twenty years ago I had some trouble with my stomach. As I grew older the trouble became worse, and for the last few years I have not been able to work the greater part of the time. I have taken treatment from several doctors, some of specialists, but without benefit. Last winter tne pain in my stomach became so intense that I had to resort to opiates for relief. For six weeks I was not able to leave my bed. My stomach wonld not retain food, it being so weak. Morphine and laudanum were the only medicines that gave me any relief, and that only a little while at a time. My brother, seeing your advertise ment in an Omaha paper, ordered a pack age of Or. Kay's Renovator, which I began taking. After the first dose I quit taking morphine, and I have not had any pain in my stomach since. My appetite is good and Ieatanything.and now feel like a new man. I can cheerfully recommend Dr. Kav's Renovator to all who are suffering with stomach trouble. Gratefully yours, H. B. TRCLLIXGER. An extensive ponltrv breeder.

The Bryan and Bailey factions of the democracy are continuing to make faces at each other across the hall of the house of representatives at Wash ington. The followers of Representa tive McMillan who wanted to keep up the combination made with the Popu lists last fall and support tbe sock less Simpson in bis attacks upon Speak er Reed, were mercilessly spanked by the Balleyites in caucus the other day. The populist leader appealed to tbe Democrats for their co-operation in bis joust at Speaker Reed, and a few of Um Bryan followers had the temerity to respond to the call when 'Speaker" Bailey adjourned the house, called a caucus in five minutes and after read ing the riot act to the Bryanites voted them down two to one and adopted a resolution ordering tiem to desist from further co-operation with the Populists, at least in the matter then under consideration. Those Democrats who were at first inclined to exult over their party's suc cesses in the recent municipal elec tions, are finding the figures cold com fort. In Chicago they were unable to at all increase their vote and only held their own in numbers by reason of the fact that a large number of those who always vote against them in nation al elections co-operated with them on this occasion on purely local issues. This was found to be the case every where. National issues cut no fig ures at all in the municipal elections while in the state of Rhode Island in which the national questions were the leading Issues the Republican vote in crenscd 20 per cent over that of the presidential election of 1S9G. A Week or Good Work. Tariff and bimetallism, those two great issues of the campaign, have been prominently at the front during the present week in Washington. And those people who doubted or professed to doubt the sincerity of the profes sions of the Republican party on either of these subjects have found that they were mistaken. A thoroughly protec tive taiiff, one which looks after the interests of the farmer and the work ing uiaa; that is what the new Dingley act is to be when it gets upon the statute books, what it is, in fact, to day, for the probabilities are that it will be little changed by the senate. Earnest and intelligent efforts in be half of international bimetallism that is what this week's work means upon that subject. The appointment of the commission whose names have already been given the public assures prompt, vigorous, and, it is to be hoped, suc cessful work. The Illmetallic Commission. The appointment of Senator Wolcott of Colorado, ex-Vice-President Steven son of Illinois, and Hon. C. J. Paine of Massachusetts as commissioners to pave the way for an international con ference has been cordially commend ed. Until this week nobody knew definitely what the president's plans were in regard to this question. It was known that he was extremely anx ious to take the proper steps toward carrying o..t the pledge of the party looking to international consideration of the silver question, but just how he proposed to bring this about or to take the initiative, nobody was able to say. It now appears that, as usual, he has chosen the wise plan and one most likely to be successful. Not only has he chosen the plan most likely to be successful, but the one likely to be most successful. Ry this is meant that if he is able to carry out the plans thus inaugurated the international con ference will i:c hi ought to the doors of every AmericiMi otcr. President Mc Kinley's hope is t - :t may be prac ticable to hold this it iference in the United States and in the city of Wash ington. If tliis shall happen every American citizen will have the full benefit of the discussion which there arises. It will be as though the meet ing of the representatives of the great nations was brought to his own door yard. With press associations carry ing the full proceedings of the confer ence and the hundreds of special cor respondents in Washington comment ing upon the proceedings in the pa pers which they represent, every citi zen who feels the slightest interest in this question would be able to follow the proceedings and study them in their proper light, thus knowing for himself that the work was well done. The commissioners who are to go abroad to try to bring about an agreement for a conference are highly commended by members of all parties as especially judicious selections. Mr. Wolcott, by reason of his long study of the ques tion and discussion on two previous trips abroad of this same subject, will be of much greater value than any man who has not had these experiences; ex-Vice-President Stevenson repre senting the silver element of the de mocracy and well known by reputa tion and in person abroad will instantly command attention, while Mr. Paine, as a close student of this subject will prove equally useful and influential. It does not follow that these men who are selected for this work are to be the representatives of the United States in an international conference if they are successful in bringing one about; on the contrary, it is expected that other men will be selected to represent the government in that conference. Progress of the Tariff. The people who are assuming that the tariff bill is likely to drag through the summer and keep the business of the country in an unsettled conditio awaiting final action, are to be disap pointed. The next week or ten days at the furthest are likely to see tbe bill perfected by the Republican mem bers of the finance committee and it Is likely to get into the senate before the month ends. Prospects now seem to be good for a final vote upon it in June and its completion in time that it may go into effect at the beginning of the fiscal year July 1st. The changes made by the senate com mittee are much less in extent and importance than had been expected. The pressure for a reduction in the du ties on wool has not been successful thus far and the chances seem to be that they will not be. The demand of the sugar trust for changes in tbe schedule advantageous to them has been promptly rejected. The wail of the standard oil trust and of sundry other corporations of this character have passed unnoticed. These Demo crats and Populists and other .enemies of the Republican party who had hoped to he able to make political capital by charging that the tariff bill was favor able to corporations and trusts are dis appointed. And they will continue to be disappointed. G. H. WILLIAMS. Bevtval. Tbe wholesale merchants of Kansas C4ty report that they received larger aad more numerous orders 1b- tha month of March than they received Ja aay month of last year. In nearly every branch of .trade there is more activity, -with indications that things will grow batter from this lime forward. Such reports as these are the best evidence that a healthful revival of business is at hand. Many retailers have not yet experienced any substantial gain in business, but their trade is less rapidly affected by improved conditions. Th wholesalers first feel the effects of re stored confidence and the release of hoarded money.- Such evidence as they give refutes tbe taunts of those who demand spectacular results, as if there had been any promise that the new ad ministration would witness an imme diate revival of all the interests that flourished before the great depression. The most hopeful change is that indi cated by the gradual increase in the volume of trade, for that denotes natu ral and conservative enterprise. There is nothing fictitious about the improve ment in business conditions, whatever the scope of that improvement may be. But when it is shown that in a single state 100,000 more men are employed now than were employed before No vember last, and when 'large dealers make like comparisons between the trade at this time and that before the presidential election, the . pessimists and the sneerers should be silent. Kansas City Journal. "laexcasable Cowardice. The men who style themselves "sil ver Republicans" have told the country why they refused to vote on one side or the other on the Dingley bill when that measure passed the bouse. "We took this course," said Representative Hartman, of Montana, "to prevent the diversion of the great issue of current politics from silver to the tariff. Our object was to emphasize tbe fact that the tariff is not and can not be made the main issue, and to give warning that the silver people will not accept the tariff as the paramount question of the time." According to the same authority another reason for the refusal to vote was that the joint caucus of the Populists of both branches of congress and a private conference of the Teller ites urged this inaction. This is presumption and cowardice of a particularly inexcusable character. A handful of men arrogate to them selves in their prejudice and blindness the right to dictate to the great body of congress what is and what Is not an issue, without having the courage or capactiy to reveal their position in a manly and practical way. St Louis Globe-Democrat. Trouble for Two. Two classes of people have failed to prosper since the election of McKinley. One of these classes is composed of sil ver advocates, the other the trusts. The election of McKinley and the rejection of the free silver proposition started similar action by some other nations which had been looked to as support ers of the silver theory, and the friends of free coinage have witnessed with dismay the transfer of Japan, Russia and China to the gold standard col umn. The trusts have also fared as badly. The railroad corporations, the sugar trust, the standard oil trust and many minor organizations of this character have received stunning blows within the few months since the elec tion of 189C, and will suffer still more when the new tariff law goes into ef fect and deprives them of the advan tages which they have enjoyed under the Wilson law. Wilftoo'a Wall. Ex-Postmaster-General Wilson, in continuation of his protest against the r.ew t.-iff bill, has evidently persuad ed himself that the measure vill in some way be injurious to the farmers. He doesn't tell why or how, but he hints at an explanation in this vague and uncertain way: "For thirty yeais the fanner was de luded by the cry of a 'home market,' and of the benefit in store for him from 'bringing the factory to the farm.' Factories were built up. but he saw them filled, not with living consumers of his products, but chiefly with ma chinery. of iron and steel." Mr. Wilson's sneer at the "home mar ket" idea is distinctly that of the free tiade theorist who imagines that it is better for the American farmer to sell one bushel of grain to English buyers than it is to sell three bushels to Amer ican consumers. The fact that the home market absorbs SO per cent of our agricultural products counts for nothing with Mr. Wilson. He doesn't consider that this market needs or de serves any protection, and he would neglect it or impair its purchasing power by forcing its industrial ele ments into wage-cutting competition with foreign labor. The farmer's real interest lies in a system that will main tain and expand the domestic demand for his produce, and this is to be found in a tariff that will open the mills, pro vide employment for labor and encour age the extension of native enterprise. Agricultural prosperity cannot exist without industrial prosperity. They are dependent on each other. When one thrives the other will thrive with it, and the man who attempts to con vince the farmer and the mechanic that their interests are conflicting is an enemy to both. Mail and Express. Save the 0100,000,000. A payment of about 1100,000,000 an nually to foreign countries for a pro duct adapted to our own soil and cli mate is plainly an industrial error. Within the last ten years attention has been directed to this wasteful method of conducting business, and signs are multiplying that the proper remedies will be applied. Last year every pound of wheat and flour exported was re quired to pay for the sugar imported. Our exports of cotton were only dou ble the value of the sugar imported. The value of all exports of live and dressed beef, beef products and lard just about balanced that of the sugar bought abroad. It is now known be yond question that tbe sugar beet can be grown in many of our states and of a quality unsurpassed anywhere. The genius of Americans in tbe use of ma chinery is an assurance that the sugar beet factories will return good divi dends. What measure of protection should be granted by the government is a subject to be considered with care. Meantime, states and localities are dis posed to encourage the new industry with so many millions in it St Louis Globe-Democrat The Senate and the Hoase. Generally speaking, whatever the house is enthusiastically in favor of the Eenate regards with cool and critical calmness, and vice versa. In the same way, no matter how much in sympathy the congress may be with the execu tive, it is sure to guard Jealousy. Jts rights in all financial matters. It is said that President McKinley has a compreheasiye plan of currency reform which ha will recommend in his mes sage next December. As the President is an old hand in congressional mat tershaving la that a huge advantage over Mr. Cleveland he ought to know that no congress will be likely to fol low the dictates of the President In any matter of taxation or finance. Already the men who hope to be on the house committee on banking and currency and the senators on the finance com mittee are saying that they understand their own business, and propose t originate any currency scheme which ia presented to the country. Illustrated American. Factories and Frotectloa Keatlaieat. The springing up of factories throughout the south has been fol lowed by a growth of protective senti ment and Republican membership in congress from that section. More than thirty votes from the south were cast for a protective tariff measure in the bouse, and the southern states had thirty-three Republican members in last congress, while in no preceding congress had the party been represent ed by more than half that number from that section. When Democrats from North and South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas join with the Republicans in supporting protective views and a protective tariff bill, there can remain no doubt of the growth of Republican principles in that section. Five Bad Meatha for SUvcr. The five months since the election have been bad ones for the silver cause. Japan, to which the silver people were accustomed to point as the most bril liant exponent, of the advantages of the free coinage of silver, has adopted tbe gold standard at the ratio of 32 to 1. Russia, which was accounted a sil ver country, has announced that she is going to the gold standard. China, which, with her 400,000,000 people.was accounted in tbe list of silver users, announced through her officials a car rency change which is equivalent to tht adoption of the gold standard. Truly these are depressing1 days for the free silver theorists. The only persons who are express ing dissatisfaction with the new tariff bill are the foreigners and importers. Germany, Canada, England, and other foreign countries are scolding about th& Dingley bill; 6o is tbe reform club, of New York, which is made up principal ly of importers. The Reform club of New York is spreading broadcast over the country an offer of newspaper plate matter with which it proposes to attack tho Dingley bill. This is not surprising. The Reform club is composed mostly of importers, who naturally want a low tariff, and .are against protection. The chief objection offered to the Dingley bill is that It is a bill. The people want it to become an act and that very promptly. Ex-Candidate Bryan called upon Vice-President Hobart during his re cent Visit to Washington. It is ob served, however, that he did not call upon prospective candidate Bailey. HAYSEED AT THE THEATER. Reads His Programme by the Light of Aaaaraace aad Matches. He was middle-aged, guileless of aspect, slightly gray, wore store clothes and silver spectacles and had whiskers, says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. It required no sign on his back for one to discern he was from out of town. The only urban characteristics he possessed were an independent air and a nerve that air born of money. in the pocket and that nerve the outcome of being the whole thing in a country town. He went to the theater the other night, got there late and had a seat in the rear of the house. For a time he watched the antics of the nipper-legged come dian and the "frivoling" soubrette. He had never seen them before and he wanted to see who they were, but the theater was too dark for reading the program. Then he did something no city-bred man would have thought of doing in a thousand years. He struck half a dozen matches and read the bill of the play from end to end. It was all over by the time the ushers had no ticed what they thought was a private bonfire and reached his seat He had settled back comfortably and looked so innocent the manager wouldn't let him be disturbed with a warning. "It's so refreshing," explained the manager, "to find such nerve, and, besides, a suc cessful manager must always watch out for suggestions as to the comfort of his audiences. I thing I shall have baby-sized incandescent lights like they have for the orchestra attached to the back of every seat. Everybody doesn't carry matches, you know. A lady in that old sport's place would have had to wait until the lights went up." lllttoric Franciscan Missions. The historic old Franciscan missions in California, established by the illus trious Father Juniper Serra, O. S. F., and his companions, and which will ever hold a place in the most glorious annals of the church, formed a part of the St. Louis province of the Sacred Heart until 'last year, when, together with some stations of the order in Ari zona, they were constituted a commis sariat, or dependent province, with Father Clementine Deymann, O. S. F., as provincial. The best preserved of these missions at the present time is that of Santa Barbara, which serves as the novitiate of the new California pro vince. The peace and sanctity of this historic spot were rudely broken in February, 1896, when the venerable su perior, Father Ferdinand Bergmeyer, O. S. F., a man universally beloved by Catholics and non-Catholics alike, was fatally shot by a lunatic, who had long been afforded a home by the hospitable friars. Donahoe's Magazine.

With the left hand machine the heads of the grain are at the, left band of thp man doing tbe binding, so in taking out tbe bundle with tbe band around It, whether the man turned to the front table or to tbe back table be kept his position toward the bun dle itself that is. with the heads towards his left hand; hence, in making tbe tuck he shoved the ends under the band toward the heads. Grain is handled by the shocker by grasping Into the heads, as shown in tbe illustration, and the tuck should therefore be toward tbe heads, so that It will not pull out The applications of roller bearings to grain cutting machinery was made by J. G. Perry in 1869, and his patent. No. 86.584, for an improved reaper, showed and described various ways of using roller and ball bearings in harvesters. Unquestionably the most practical and satisfactory applications of roller bear ings 'to binders and mowers has been made by the McCormlck Harvesting Machine Company. The Particular form used by them was patented in 1882 and is now to be found in all McCormlck machines. The especially valuable fea ture of the McCormlck roller bearing is seen In the form or cage as it is called which holds the rollers from running together, and if for any cause ho cage is taken from the shaft tha rollers will not fall out and get lost. In order to avoid the McCormlck pa tent the other harvesting machine com pany who claims to be the originator of roller bearings in harvesters has cut out the metal in the ring at the ends of the rollers. If the cage is taken out the rollers slip out and become filled with grit, or worse, get lost Tho methods of the McCormlck Company result In an annual saving of many thousands of dollars to the farming public New devices are not embodied in their machines until long and oft repeated trials have shown them to be practical. It has been the same with roller bearings as with everything else McCormlck experimenting is don at McCormlck expense. Saeealate Make People Angry. Why is it that it make? nearly everyone angry to sneeze? Ono will generally hear an exclamation of impatience after a 6neoze. Dele gate heard a gentleman let off sev eral ot these staccato explosions tho other day and between every snort ho gave vent to lively expressions o sulphuric adjectives. Asked why h& did it he said ho always had to sneezo when he didn't want to. It interrupted his business and jarred him from center to circumference, and he didn't like it It was a use less and harrowing expenditure of time. Women do not like to sneeze. Thoy may give vent to ever so small a "cat sneeze," but it causos them to mako such unbecoming faces, dis turbs their complaisance, disar ranges their hair, their bonnets, and sets them all on edge, and tbey haven't any use for it anyway. And yet scientists say the sneeze is bene ficial; that it is a healthful provision of nature; shakes up tho constitution And prevents clogging and sluggish ness of the circulation. This may bo true, but mankind would much pro for some other method of regu lating constitutional matters. Itie Skoptzt.

The Mav number of the Atlantic Monthly takes up the problems of ru ral New England in two articles which present a study of country life in two ttinereni communities in iwu uiucreui states. These descriptions of the pres ent life and ways of the rural popula tion throw light on such problems as these: whether the rush to the cities is likely to leave the country barren of men; whether the falling away from the old-time religious beliefs is causing a deterioration of character; whether the civic pride of the country is now decaying; and whether the staunch and homely virtues of preceding gen erations are maintained. These two articles have been prepared for the Atlantic by two writers of experience, who have made special studies on the ground for this purpose. Drank for Twenty Tears.
