FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 10, 1897.

GOI.D was fir6t discovered in Alaska in 1879, and up to date 330,000,000 has been mined, to say nothing of the $25,000,000 that has been mined on the Canadian side.

FIVE hundred thousand freight car loads of wheet are traveling across the continent. One car big1 enough to hold this grain would reach from New York to San Francisco.

KANSAS is happy. The Wichita Eagle says: "Calamity is an 1800 model. Populism should try our new self-oil-ing, keyless crank-hanger, reversible handle-barred, prosperity-geared machine of 1897."

TnR director of the United States mint, who is the best authority in this country on currency matters, predicts that silver will fall much lower in the next few months. It is already at the lowest point in its entire history.

Tiirc export trade for July was $4,300,000 more than for July, 1S9G. The exports for the year will far exceed any year in our history. The total exports for July were 869,925,770. The imports, also, were largely increased.

NORTII CAROLINA'S system of working convicts on the roads has rid the State of tramps as well as proved profitable to all who U6e the roads. The State law gives judges and magistrates the option of sentencing prisoners to road building.

A FLORIDA paper says that the tobacco crop in the State this year will bring 810,000,000, in addition to which there will be 300,000 crates of pineapples, to say nothing of vegetables, melons, turpentine, lumber and a "pretty good smattering of oranges."

IT is estimated that the wheat crop of the United States for the present oear will be $500,000,000 bushels and that 200,000,000 bushels of this will be demanded by Europe. It is a generally accepted fact that a good wheat crop and good times go together.

THE postal savings banks of England have proved a grand success. The banks of the United Kingdom received la6t year 8181,291,750, paid interest thereon to the amount of 812,303,223, paid out $142,440,643, and had a balance of deposits on hand Dec. 31, of $540,493,204.

THE national banks of this country now hold about $160,000,000 over and above the sums required by law as a legal reserve. This same condition of affairs undoubtedly exists in the other banking institutions throughout the States of the Union. One result of this enormous accumulation of capital will be lower rates of interest for the future.

OUT in Redlands, Cal., they have been cutting grain this season with a harvester that is truly a mammoth of its kind. It has a cutting bar over fifty feet in width, cuts the grain, threshes it, ties it up in sacks and turns out hundreds of these sacks per hour. In going a mile this machine reaps nearly ten acres, and does more work than our grandsire, with his cradle scythe and Hail, could in a whole season.

MADISON has anew 830,000 postolliee building, just the thing that Crawfordsville needs. It was secured through the efforts of the Merchants and Manufacturers' Club which set about its work in a most systematic way and enlisted the Senators and Members of Congress to secure the appropriation. If the Merchants' Club of this city were to turn its attention in the same direction something might be accomplished toward securing a handsome building.

•'•••THE miserable business in which the partisan organs of the free silver movement are engaged when they try to fill the ears of the people with complaint and discontent, and pick up only to magnify every adverse trade symptom in every order to discourage the return of prosperity for political purposes, is annoying, but it is ineffectual. It causes decent men to be indignant, but it powerless to stay the oncoming tide. Prosperity has set in, and there are solid figures as well as hopes to prove it.

LAST Monday the Quarterly Conference of the First Methodist church met and closed the business of the year. It was reported that the current expenses of the church for the twelve months just ended, amounting to nearly $3,000, which includes tbe pastor's salary, had been paid in full. Rev. Dr. S. V. Leech has CIOSPC. his two-term pastorate of the church and next week he leaves for Atchison, Kansas, where he becomes the minister of the Methodist ch-irch in that city. He leaves the church here in a bettor condition, both financially and spiritually, than it has been for many years. He has been a zealous and untiring worker in this vineyard, both in the pulpit and in his pastoral ministrations, and he goes to his new field with the good will of all the peoplf, not only of his own flock but of sister denominations and the citizens generally. As a man, as a citizen and as an able Christian minister the JOURNAL commends him to the good people of Atchison. Both he and his excellent family are worthy of a warm welcome.

THE amount of money in circulation Sept. 1 was $126,510,464 more than it was at the same date last year. It now stands at $1,005,680,098—not far from $23 per capita. More than 25 per cent, of this circulation is gold, and if every dollar of the other money had no more intrinsic value than so much wrapping paper it would still be a safe currency, for 25 per cent, is recognized in all financial circles as a safe basis for paper money but as a matter of fact much of our money is silver coin, having about 40 per cent, of intrinsic value at the present rate of silver bullion.

THE recent enormous fall in the price of silver is driving Mexico to consider the advisability of going to the gold standard. The example of Japan, Russia, Peru and, in fact, all the intelligent nations of the world, is having its effect upon the statesmen of that country, and, followed, as it is, by the business troubles growing out of the great fall in the value of silver, warns them that they must fall in line with other civilized nations if they expect to maintain their business and financial standing.

OK railroads Indiana has 6,279 miles of main track, 291 miles of second main track, and 1,968 miles of side track.

A «Juiet Marriage.

Jones and a young lady of many accomplishments and graces.

Bushels—Russia's Failure.

JAPS ACCEPT ARBITRATION,

Hawaii's Proposed Settlement of Differ­

ences Acted »n Favorably by the Japau-

ese Secretary Wilson Thinks tho

Furiners of tho West are Ilnppy. New ISittik Authorized.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—W. P. Atwell, commercial agent of tho United Stataa at Robaix, Franco, sends to tbe state department a report on the short wheat crop in that country. He says the crop in France, and in fact in all Europe, has fallen much below the average and that ii?£i estimated that the United States and Canada will be called upon to export from 120,000,000 to 130,000,000 bushels more than tliey exported to Europe last year. France will require about 00,000,000 bushels to meet the deficiency in that country.

Consul Heenau, at Odessa, Russia, has made quite an extensive report to the state department concerning tho failure of tho crops in Russia.

In many districts it has been tho wettest season ever known and grain has been destroyed by both rain and hail. Much of the grain was not worth the expense of binding. The wheat received at Odessa is of a very inferior quality.

The report predicts that little wheat will be exported from Russia during the season of 1897-8, as thero is little available for tli.it purpose, the old stocks being practically exhausted, and the new crop little more than sufficient for the home demand.

The failure of tho wheat crop in Aus-tria-Hungary, Roumania and Bulgaria, Consul Honan continues, has brought buyers from those countries into Russia and wheat which would ordinarily leave Odessa by steamers is destined to go by rail from the interior into the countries named.

5S

Farmers In Good Spirits.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8. Secretary Wilson was at his desk in t-lie agricultural department yesterday for tho first time for a month, having returned from a tour of the transmississippi states, giving especial attention to the agricultural interests of the states visited, with particular reference to irrigation, horse raising and sugar beet growing. "I found the farmers in especially good spirits wherever I went," he said. "There is no doubt that the country is justified in its anticipations of better times. The people are all busy in the west. Indeed I do not believe there is ail idle man west of the Mississippi who wants work."

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—In accordance with instructions sent to consular representatives to report on export bounties prevailing in the countries to which they are accredited, Consul Riddle at Constantinople reports that there are no export bounties paid by the Turkish government.

PROVIDENCE, E. I., Sept. S.—It is unofficially announced that Dr. Andrews will insist- unon tho acceptance of his resignation from tho presidency of Brown university.

His decision is in spite of a letter received by him from the faculty begging him to remain.

IJANSDALE.

HAVENS, a boy.

The explosion eccurred at tho Grant well, located at the rear of the National Supply company's office building in tho village limits. This well had just been shot by Samuel Barber, the shooter for the Ohio and Indiana Torpedo company.

Tho well was a gasser and when tho 120 quarts of glycerine let down into the well exploded, the gas ignited and with a terrific roar the flames shot high above the derrick. As soon as the drillers saw the flames seven climbed into the derrick to shut off the gas, but they had hardly gotten there when there was a terrific explosion. The burning gas had started the remaining glycerine in tho empty cans standing in a wafeon near the derrick. In another wagon nearby were some cans containing another 20 quarts of the stuff and this was s...rted by the force of the first explosion.

The second was blended with tho first in a mighty roar and the town and surrounding country for miles trembled from the shock. The National Supply company's building was completely demolished and notiiing remains but a big hole where the wagons stood. There is not a hole pane of glass in any window in the town and every house and store was shaken to its foundations.

Klondike Not Iticli Enough to Justify

the Immense Itusli—Xot More Than.

Twenty Out of One Hundred Will Get

Through the Cliilkoot—Horses Now Selling at $10 a Head.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—The treasury department last night mado public the following letter received from a government official now on the way to the gold fields, under date of Dyea, Aug. 22, stating at tho same time that tho writer, whose name is withheld, had been 2 years in the service and was thoroughly reliable: "I deem it my duty to write you on a subject that does not come strictly within my line of duty, as it trenches somewhat upon the functions of the treasury department. I have had a long talk with Mr. Ivey, collector of customs for Alaska, who is at present at Skaguay, three miles below here. "The Skaguay trail is the most largely used overland route (though by .10 means the best to tho Klondike. Mr. Ivey informs me that there are now between tidewater and the lake something like 4,000 people and 2,000 horses. The commander of one of the vessels now at Skaguay states that 1(5 vessels are chartered to land cargoes at that placc between now and Sept. 15, and that the number of passengers will average 200 to each vessel, making 3,200 more people who will attempt to go in this fall. If the rush continues two weeks longer hundreds will inevitably perish on the trail, which is extremely dangerous after Oct. 1. "The postmaster and Indian trader at this place (Mr. Heron) states that more than 1,000 men have gone up the Cliilcoot pass during tho past !0 days, and that 700 of tliehi are still this side of the lake (24 miles from here). Vessels are arriving every day or two, and at tho present rate of influx another 1,000 will enter the trail by Sept. 10. Mr. Heron is of the opinion that not more than 20 out of 100 \vu! through, and he says this trail is far more dangerous than the Skaimay alter the snow sots in. He says if :he rush continues anothe?- week the resultant loss of life will be appalling. I attach the greatest weight to what he says, for the reason that it is his pecuniary interest to have as many as possible come this way yet headvises an immediate stoppage, of tho stampede. "Nearly every vessel that arrives here brings twice as many passengers as the law allows it to carry and many of them are condemned crafts which have been been fitted up for this trade. Mr. Ivey will no doubt at once present the facts outlined above to the proper authorities and I merely give them to you for your information. The situation is appalling and it is impossible for me adequately to describe the mad rush for tho gold fields. I had no conception of its immensity till I saw it." "I have talked with several men who have recently arrived here from tho Klondike, two of whom left there less than 30 days ago. They unanimously agree that while there is a rich gold field there the facts do not justify the present stanipedo, and they say there is bound to be much suffering and actual starvation. Provisions arc already scarce and the prices of many articles absolutely prohibitory in the case of a man of ordinary means."

THE HEAT PLAGUE OF AUGUST, 1896. Mrs. Pinkham's Explanation of the Unusual Number of Deaths and Prostrations Among Women.

The great heat plague of August, 1896, was not without its lesson. One could not fail to notice in the long lists of the dead throughout this country, that so many of the victims were women in their thirties, and women between forty-five and fifty.

The women who succumbed to the protracted heat were women whose energies were exhausted by sufferings peculiar to their sex women who, taking no thought of themselves, or who, attaching no importance to first symptoms, allowed their female system to become run down.

Constipation, capricious appetite, restlessness forebodings of evil, vertigo, languor, and weak ness, especially in the morning, an itching sensation which suddenly attacks one at night, or whenever the blood becomes overheated, are all warnings. Don't wait too long to build up your strength, that is now a positive necessity 1 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has specific curative powers. You cannot do better than to commence a course of this grand medicine. By the neglect of first symptoms you will see by the following letter what terrible suffering came to Mrs. Craig, and how she was cured "I have taken Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and think it is the best medicine for women in the world. I was so weak and nervous that I thought

recent heavy rams nave maue tne trait impassible, with the result horses which two weeks previous were selling at $150 per head aro now on the market at $10. Horse feed is selling at $70 per ton and is hard to get at that price. He says language is inadequate to describo tho terrors of the pass sinco the rainy season began.

FRANCO-RUSSIAN ALLIANCE.

French Press Exercised Over the 12IIyet It Will Have oil European Polities.

PAULS, Sept. 8.—The French press is still greatly exercised over the effect that the Franco-Russian alliance will have upon European politics.

Prince Bismarck, in an interview a report of which has been published in the Canlois, admitted that the time was propitious for tho snatching of Egypt and the Suez canal from England, but said he did not believe that Frenchmen had any passionate interests in that question, adding: "Perhaps they are right to wait for us Germans to becomo still more deeply involved in our foreign policy, for now wo have neither leadership nor principles—nothing whatever. Everyone is groping about, and the treasures of influence I labored to accumulate are being prolitlessly squandered."

Tho Soleit, in an an important article, draws a contrast between the Dreibnnd and the Russo-French alliance. Germany and Austria, the paper says, liavo no claim to each other's aid unless attacked simultaneously by two adversaries, while the Russo-Freiich alliance imposes the obligation to assist if either is attacked by a single enemy.

I could not live from one day to the next. I had prolapsus uteri and leucorrhcea and thought I was going into consumption. 1 would get so faint I thought I would die. I had dragging pains in my back, burning sensation down to my feet, and so many miserable feelings. People said that I looked like a dead woman. Doctors tried to cure me, but failed. I had given up when I heard of the Pinkliam medicine. I got a bottle. I did not have much faith in it, but thought I would try it, and it made a new woman of

me. I wish I could get every lady in the land to try it, for it did for me what doctors could not do."—MRS. SALLIE CBAIG, Baker's Landing, Pa.
