These three alone lead file to sovereign power.--Tennyson. ^ , : tkV' y* 5? > ONE of the proofs of the general pros­ perity of the people is found in the HOtable increase of the receipts of the ppstoffice department; ORDERS H%VE been placed already for jtfUhe iron and steel product of the United States for the next year. As that industry is regarded generally as a bftrometor indicating general business conditions, its wonderful activity pre­ sages tiie contimience for an indefinite period of the good times now enjoyed. THE new $2 certificates will soon be in ^Ifefrcu Nation. A fine head of Washington, placed in the middle of the lower half of the note is the distinguishing feature. On either side of the head, which is set iB an oval medallion, is a sitting, figure. A male figure holding a hammer, and representing industry, is on the left of the portrait, when viewed from the front. A female figure holding a cor­ nucopia is on the right. A large and {Sain figure 2 is on each corner of the bill, making it easy to determine the de- nomination without close inspection GOLD AND SILVER. ««s ^ThetTtiited States produced f64, worth of gold and 54,438,000 fine ounces •of silver during the calendar year of MB& The South African Republic leads in gold production with $7 ,̂213,958, and Mexico stands first as a silver produc­ ing country with 56,738,000 fine ounces. The transvaal war will check gold pro­ duction there for the coming year, but the supply will be ample fer all needs, Mid there is no new argument in sight for the Bryan plan of fifty-cent silver .fprtwlwels. " 4* M" THE PINE IS PASSING. The demand for lumber exceeds the Mpply, and a force of 35,000 men will this winter movie on the pine forests of Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. Within the next decade we shall see the end of the pine in these states. Worse than that, there is no systematic effort made to reforest the denuded areas, to tarnish a lumber supply for the future. It begins to look as though brick, steel and terra cotta will be the building ma­ terials of the future, for wood will be tljjb costly for that use. gjj ADVICES have been received showing that the turkey crop this year will be bom ten to twenty-five per cent, larger than last year, due mainly to high prices and the fact that farmers have made ex­ tra exertions for two years to enlarge their flocks. Prospects are that the chicken crop will be ten per cent, short, litis being attributed to the high price for eggs, which prevented farmers from holding them in the spring. Good prices for chickens also induced free market­ ing of hens. The duck and geese crop also about ten per cent short as the lew prices discouraged the raising of THANKSGIVING DAY. The President in his annual Thanks­ giving proclamation enumerates the things for which we, as a nation, may well be thankful. The man who does not recognise them must be a hopeless pessimist Bun over the main points enumerated. Liberal employment for labor, abundant crops, the national finances strength­ ened, our schools and churches flourish­ ing, an unequalled degree of prosperity to the people, peace with every nation, Cuban reconstruction proceeding peace­ fully and favorably. Who is not genu­ inely thankful for these things? As it requires shadows in painting to bring out the beauty of the high lights by contrast, so we must turn back in memory five or six years, to the gloomy time of panic and business stagnation, to realize to the full the blessings we are now enjoying. Thanksgiving this year certainly should be celebrated heartily and devoutly by every true American. Get in on the Ground Floor. This applies to two classes of people. Those who are interested for the purpose of investment or speculation, and those who for any reason desire to change their business location. To any person in either class the new towns located and owned by the Chicago & North-Western Railway Company along its new lines of railroad now be­ ing constructed, offer the most tempt­ ing inducement®!. Prices of lots in these towns are still absolutely on the ground floor, and are sure winners either for investors or locators. The North-Western also owns nearly one-half million acres of splendid timber land, adapted to general farming which is for sale at very low prices. Write for information to J. F.

My wife has been using Chamberlain's Pain Balm, with good results, for a laiqe shoulder that has pained her con­ tinually for nine years. We have tried all kinds of medicines and doctors with­ out receiving any benefit from any of them. One day we saw an advertise­ ment of this medicine and thought of trying it. which we did with the best of satisfaction. She has used only one bottle and her shoulder is almost well. --Adolph L.

OASTORI THE League for Social Service, with the powerful financial support of Miss Helen M. Gould, has begun a crusade against the admission of Brigham H. Roberts as a congressman from Utah. The league has Issued 1,070,000 copies of pamphlets against Mormonism and po­ lygamy, andjtheylwill be sent all over the IJnited States. It has also prepared a Wank petition praying for the expulsion flf Roberts from congress, which will be •entwith the pamphlets to 50,000 pastors *nd thousands of clubs and associations. When the petitions are signed they will returned to the league and placed in the hands of the congressmen from whose districts they respectively came. • THE latest bulletin issued by the na­ tional labor bureau relates to crime and '_4runkenessJn communities of 80,000 or Snore inhabitants. Of this class of cities tiie country has 140. In some cases the re­ turns are incomplete, and in some places questions asked were not appliable, i*. for instance, regarding tb? number of saloons. Topeka and Kan- ias City have no such saloons, nor have i , Charleston, S. C„ Cambridge, Mass., J- ^ Portland, Me., and a few other small " . Cities. The licensed saloons in the 140 ^ cities number 58,968. Adding the un- licensed in the ten no-license cities, and \ ' the total would probably be about 60,- '> £ '000. The number of policeman report- «d in these cities, with Springfield, 111. a ^ and San Antonio, Texas, unreported, is 28,151. In other , words, there is in'our lazge cities one policeman to two saloons. The number of arrests during the year 1 * |for drunkenness was 294,728, with two tninor cities unreported, or about 300,- 000 all told, making five such arrests to one saloon and ten to one policeman. | HAPPINESS.
