most fertile portions of this part of this
country. 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. A many mile of the proposed
route is level land the expense of grading
would be small. The prospect for a road
of some kind through that section of the
country I Bomethtng more than visionary.
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.

JOBBERS PREPARING FOR NEXT FALL

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. Bromides are a
trifle lower. Oil peppermint la now quo ten
at $3.0ti3.50: oil citronelle. "Ki.SSc: oil
cloves, $1. Will. 26. Grain alcohol declined 2c
per gallon and is quoted in barrels at
less the usual cash discount. Turpentine
advanced to 754c in barrels. The linseed
oil market is In a strong position, with no
change in price.
MAIL CLERKS ENTEROBJECTION
Trains Too Fast to Permit Working
of Mall West of
Omaha.
CHEYENNE Wyo., Feb. 17. (Special )
Several railway mail clerks running into
thla city are considering leaving the ser
vice as the result of the continued heavy
malls since the putting on of the fast mail
schedule January 1 and the lack of help
to handle it properly. They assert that
In spite of their best efforts it Is Impossible
for them to assort all the matter turned
over to them and they are therefore turn
ing over from 1,000 to 5.000 unassorted let
ters to the next clerk west nearly every
trip. The fast schedule makes a difference
of nearly twenty-four hours In the running
time between Omaha and Pacific coast
points, but now letters and other mail
matter are being carried by nearly every
day, and it ta necessary to return thctn
from the opposite direction. In many cases
making a delay of twenty-four hours In
their delivery. Each clerk passes many
sacks of unworked mail to the next clerk,
and It Is aald that from 10.000 to 20.000 un
assorted letters reach San Francisco nearly
every day. where It la necessary to put
the postofflce employes at work on them,
with a corresponding delay In delivery.
On account of the hard work connected
with the position It Is almost Impossible
to get clerks In the western states, and
clerks aay that there Is not enough at the
present time eligible for appointment on
the lists of California. Arlxona, New Mex
ico, Nevada and Idaho and but few In many
of the other western state.
A clerk running out of Cheyenne to Po
catello, Ida., say that since the first of
the year he ha worked every trip con
stantly from the time of leaving the Chey
enne yarde until he reached Pocatello.
nearly twfnty-four hours, there obtained
a five-hour rest and worked twenty-four
hour on the road back, and even then
waa unable to take care of all the mall
piled on him.
