DIVIDE WITH THE TIMES*RE-
C0RDER.
Tbe manager calls your at
tention to tbe the BLUE PEN
CIL MARK on your paper this
week, which reminds you that
you are In arrears. Unless
our patrons come at once and
pay their accounts we will have
to reduce the size of the paper,
as we cannot, since the great
rise In price df white paper,
send you a newspaper aay
longer on a credit. Our farm
er friends at least ^should be
willing to pay what they owe,
Inasmuch as they are getting
such prices for their cotton
You are paying your other
counts, why not divide with
newspapers.
Mr. Bryan's attention was called to
an extract from a New York Repub
lican newspaper saying that Mr. BryJ
an had made moro money out of tne
cat crop raised on his Lincoln farm
the present season than the entire
farm had cost him, puting the ro-
$6.00'suit at 81,400 on 1-JO acres of laud.
' Commenting upon this statement, Mr.
Bryan said:
“The entire farm contains only 30
acres and cost me nearly 84,000, al
though the laud is not worth that
much today. Instead of having 120
acres in oats, I had only five acres in
oats, and the oats have not yet been
thrashed. They will hardly yield 40
bushels to the acre. Oats, instead of
being 30 cents a bushel in Nebraska,
are worth 21 cents in Chicago. My
oat crop will not bring me over $40.
The five acres upon which the oats
were cost me a little moro than $100
an acre, so that the gross income this
year will be less than 8 per cent on
the original investment. After tak
ing out the cost of seed, cultivation,
harvesting and thrashing, the income
will be reduced to loss than 5 per cent.
The Republican papers use my farm
to illustrato the prosperous condition
of the farmer. If my experience is a
fair illustration of what is going on
in the country, it is not strange that
the Republican party is losing votes
among the agricultural class. The
Republicans point to the farmer whon
his crop is good, but make no mention
ot the fact that when his crop fails
hi not only loses his income, but loses
tho money put into the crop.

A CHANGE IN THE SITUATION.
“Six weeks ago,” says the Albany
Argus, “the Republican campaign man
agers were claiming New Y'ork State
as sure for McKinley. To-day they are
panic stricken, and Mark Hanna has
announced that he will remain in New
York throughout the campaign. Six
weeks ago Hanna expected to remain
in the East only until Sept. 1. Bat the
situation has changed in the eyes of
the Trust campaign managers, and they
realize that the great commonwealth of
Now York is likely to repudiate the
Party of the trusts, imperialism and
Plattism on Nov. 0.”
TRUSTS SAFE WITH M’KJNLEY.
As the trusts are in control of the
federal administration, nothing can
be doro to minimize tbe trust evil so
long as this administration is left in
power. That fact is as plain as day
light. The Dingley taritl" is tbe founda
tion of hundreds of industrial com
bines. Without it the trusts organiza
tions oould not have been perfected
as they have been all over tbe coun
try. Two things were necessary for
the organization of trusts on a great
scale—a protective tariff which would
exclude competition from abroad, and
an administration which would favor
them and not interfere with their or
ganization and operation. Both needs
were supplied.
SOUTHERN COTTON MILLS.
Although this is a year of bounding
prosperity in most industries, it docs
not appear to apply that way to the
New England cotton manufactories.
They have shut down for a mouth,
which menus no wages for a twelfth of
tho year and makes a tolerably big re
duction. The demand for cotton goods
is limited, although they have been
offered at very tempting . prices.
According to the New England papers
the depression in cotton goods is
entirely local, as the reports from
tho cotton mills of the South
show the is nourishing industry and
that now spindles are being added
right along to keep up with the do
maud upon the industry. Tho Secro
taryof the Southern Cotton Mill Asso
ciation reports that the industry “was
never so prosperous, the returns show
ing moro new mills than ever in our
hiatory,” and that “the new spindles
being erected number over 1,400,000.”
Wages are lower at tho South, but a
dollar in that section goes as far in sup
porting a family as a dollar and a half
atthe North. —Pittsburg Post
HOBSON'S CHOICE.
he Navy Department has refused
request of Naval Constructor Rich
mond F. Hobson for permission to re
am to this country from the Asiatic
Ration by way of Siberia and Europe,
>ays a special from Washington. He
suggested this trip with a view to in
specting and reporting upon the fortifi
cations of Russia and the various dock
yards of Europe.
The naval authorities here evidently
did not deem the tour worth while, and
instructed Hobson to return home by
the most direct route. He will go at
once to the Naval Hospital at Brooklyn
for treatment and afterwards will be
assigned to some of the yards in,charge
pf;the .construction department.
Hobson’s two requests made of the
Washington authorities recently have
been denied. One was to command a
detachment of marines in China, but
Bear- Admiral Remoy disapproved the
application, and said if Hobson was
able to go into the field he was able to
attend to the construction work at
Hong Kong and Manila,where his ser
vices would be in constant demand,
Hobson’s tronble with his eyes has
been relieved, and it is expocted that
ho will notlong be detained at the
Brooklyn hospital.
A cigar salesman of New York city
committed suicide in Mount Vernon,
that State, by swallowing carbolic acid.
Failing to make any sales,he is report
ed to have said that tho Tobacco Trust
had rdined his business, and that a
poor man was better dead than alire.

to make a business firm.
WOMAN
IS UKE A DELICATE
MUSICAL INSTRUMENT
In good condition she is sweet and lovable,
and s:ng3 life’s song on a Joyful harmonious
string. Out of order or unstrung, there is
discordance and unhappiness. Just as there
Is one key note to all music so there is one key
note to health. A woman might as well try
to fly without wings as to feel well and look
well while the organs that make her a woman
are weak or diseased. She must be healthy
Inside or she can’t be healthy outside. There
are thousands of women suffering silently all
over the country. Mistaken modesty urges
their silence. While there is nothing more
admirable than a modest woman, health is
of the first Importance. Every other con
sideration should give way before it. Brad-
field’s Female Regulator is a medicine foi
women’s ills. It is

Memphis, Sept. 12.—Tho following
telegram was received at the Cotton Ex

with reference to tho money to he raisocl
at the citizens’ meeting here:
“Wire money collected at the meeting.
Send disinfectants and food for man and

Houston, Sept. 12.—Order has begun
to take the place of chaos which has
reigned in Galveston sinco Saturday’s
terrible storm and citizens are waking
from the stupefaction of their sudden
disaster. All conservative estimates
have been shattered by that of Mayor
Jones of Galveston and other prominent
and conservative men, who declare that
3,000 deaths will result from the storm.
Over 100 lives were lost at other points
in Texas. Ten millions of dollars, it is
said, will cover Galveston’s property
loss, while half as much more is esti
mated for the remainder of the state.
The water supply Is now reported as
adequate and thereby one of the worst
features of the situation Is eliminated,
for provisions are being poured Into the
stricken city by carloads.
Many deaths are resulting from un-
nvoidaulo neglect and the sanitary con
dition and superhuman efforts are being
made to clear up the mass of debris
which bids fair to breed pestilence.

FOR MOTHERS.
The period Immediately following child-birth Is fraught with
many dangers. The strength has been used In the painful ordeal
through which the mother has passed and she finds herself helpless
and weakened. Many mothers, like Mrs. Ford, date the beginning
of their illness from the birth of their child. Indeed the frequent
spectacle of a healthy young woman becoming a chronic Invalid
alter motherhood is one of the tragedies of life. All this Is unneces
sary, when Wine of Cardul is obtainable. It rehabilitates the
shattered nervous system, strengthens the organs and ligaments, and
re-establishes a healthy, natural condition,
saving years of chronic sickness and suffering.
