I thickly settled by farmers who "re- favored with abundant crops of all kinds of grain each year, but are at a at distance from railroad and are at a great disadvantage In marketing their grain. Many thousands of bushel of grain have been hauled to this market from that sec tion of the country as far a thirty mile from here, and yet the grain Is only par- tially marketed. The parties calling for the meeting along the proposed route say that all that will be asked Is a rlght-of- way for ,n road b1"1 tn two Pnt. and the capital for the construction and equipment will be furnished by eastern parties.

The fact that the original aurvey of the old Elkhorn road traversed this route with practically no variation creates the belief that the Northwestern road may be back' Ing the deal. One of the surveyor of this old Elkhorn route, who Is In business In this part of the country now, say that when the Northwestern decides to extend It Casper line to the coast It will build a cut-off from thl place to VanTassell, Wyo., and by such cut-off a saving of twenty-two mile would be made In the main line, and many heavy grade would be eliminated.

What Sulphur Does For the Human Body In Health and Disease. The mention of sulphur will recall to many of us the early days when our moth er and grandmother gave u our daily dose of sulphur and moloasea every spring and lull. It was the universal spring and fall "blood purifier," tonic and cure-all, and mind you, thl old-fashioned remedy waa not without merit. The Idea waa good, but the remedy waa crude and unpalatable, and a large quantity had to be taken to get any effect. Nowaday we get all the beneficial effect of sulphur in a palatable, concentrated form, so that a single grain Is far more effective than a tables poonful of the crude sulphur. In recent year, research and experiment have proven that the best sulphur for medicinal use la that obtained from Calcium (Calcium Sulphide) and sold in drug stores under the name of Stuart' calcium Wafe.a They are small chocolate-coated pellet and contain the active medicinal principle of sulphur in a highly concentrated, effective form. Few people are aware of the value of thl form of sulphur in restoring and maintain ing bodily vigor and health; sulphur sets directly on the liver and excretory organ and purllle and enriches the blood by the prompt elimination of waste material. Our grandmothers knew this when they dosed us with sulphur and molasses every spring and fall, but the crudity and Im purity of ordinary flower of sulphur wer often worse than the disease, and cannot compare with the modern concentrated preparations of sulphur, of which Stuart's Calcium Wafera la undoubtedly the best and niobt widely used. They are the natural antidotes for liver and kidney troubles and cure constipation and purify the blood In a way that often surprises patient and physician alike. Dr. R. M. Wilklns, while experimenting with sulphur remedies, soon found that the sulphur from Calcium waa superior to any other form. He : "For liver, kidney and blood troubles, especially when result ing from conatlpation or malaria, I have been surprised at the results obtained front Stuart's Calcium Wafera. In patients suffering from bolls and pimples and even deep-seated carbuncles, I have repeatedly seen them dry up and diaappear In four or five days, leaving the skin clear snd smooth. Although Stuart's Calcium Wafer la a pro. prietary article, and sold by druggists, snd for that reason tabooed by many physi cian, yet I know of nothing so aaf and reliable for constipation, liver and kidney trouble, and especially In all forms of skin disease, as this remedy." At any rate people who are tired of pills, cathartics and so-called blood "purifiers" will find In Stuart's Calcium Wafers a far safer, more paiatabla and effective preparation. CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE Gold Snap Did Not Enough. Last Long JOBBERS PREPARING FOR NEXT FALL Salesmen Will Be Oat loss with Sew and Large Lines ngn.r In Weaker Position Brisk. Trade la Hardware. Omaha wholesale men report a good busi ness for the week, although the cold spell did not help them as much aa they antici pated. It Is so near spring now and the advent of cold weather has been deferred so long, they ay, that It cannot have a trongly marked effect on trade, unless low temperatures should oontlnue for some time. Condition on the whole have been god. The Jobber are beginning to prepare for summer and fall business. The salesmen of the dry goods houses are soon to go on the. road with their fall lines. They are carrying a remarkably extensive line of outing flannels, the patterns being of deli cate and varied design, and deemed the most handsome ever put out by the mills. All lines of business are expecting a record-breaking summer and fall trade. Jobbers say that the Omaha price of shoes are still below what would be war ranted by the quotations of the primary markets. Prices have been raised to auch an extent in eastern marketa that Omaha people are paying the highest prices In years, the advance being especially marked tn cowhides. The snow of last week wo especially pleasing to the shoe men, aa It gave the country dealers a chance to work off a part of their stock of rubber, and give the Omaha Jobber assurance of a better trade this spring. Trade ha been fairly good for the week. Fall Line Dry Good. Prices In dry goods remain about the same a last week. Jobbers are busy pre paring their fall lines for the road, and soon will be sending out salesmen with them. Prices continue firm, with deliveries from the mills uncertain and somewhat un satisfactory. Business was good for the week, with good collections. Turpentine haa advanced 24c since last week, being now quoted at 7ic. Window glass Is a little stronger, this dtie to the Jobbers' meeting In Chicago a week ago, resulting In a slight rise in prices. It is thought .that prices will later be further advanced throughout the country. The plate glass market Is unchanged and the demand strong. The price of skylight glaas has advanced lc a square foot. Trade In paper has been a little less than for the previous ,eek. No change in prices waa sustained. Jobbers in hardware are busily preparing for the spring trade and are sending out prices on hammocks, bicycles and sporting goods. Wire fencing Is selling rapidly and a brisk trade him been experienced In hunkers' mittens for fall use, orders be ing received for placing at the factories. Fail stove orders are also being placed. Prices thus far are about f per cent in ad vance of those of 1906, but if the great coal strike la called Jobbers say that the Iron industry will suffer heavily from lack of fuel supplies and stoves may be hard to get. Sugar la Weaker Position. Trade in groceries haa been good. One of the big refiners of sugar haa lowered the price 6c, but no change in the selling quo tations has yet been made. Raws are l-16c lower than a week ago and the situation is considered weak. Coffee Is unchanged alnce last reports. Flour Is steady at the same prices. Tomatoes continue to be the fea ture In canned goods, with high prices still prevailing. Drags and Chemicals, The drug business is fairly active. Noth ing unusual has occurred In the way ni price fluctuations. Opium is a trifle lower ana is quotea at 3.a'y3.iio: powaerea, 4.t'r 4.1&. Quinine is firm. The low prices have stimulated the demand for this article. There has been a alight advance In tartar emetic. Arsenic has advanced 2c per pound during the week, liees wax Is higher. Camphor Is very firm at $1.0y $1.05. Carbolic acid also is very firm. Menthol is slightly lower. American saffron is selling at $1.60311.65. OH peppermint is firm and It seems more than probable that prices will go higher, owing to reports from the producing dis tricts of damage to crops. Oil citronelle has advanced loc per pound.
