PAINT cracks.—lt often costs more to prepare a house for repainting that has been painted in the first place with cheap ready-mixed paints, than it would to have painted it twice with strictly pure white lead, ground in pure linseed oil. Strictly Pure White Lead forms a permanent base for repainting and never has to be burned or scraped off on account of scaling or cracking. It is always smooth and clean. To be sure of getting strictly pure white lead, purchase, any of the following brands: “Anchor,” “Southern,” “Eckstein,” “Red Seal,” “Kentucky,” "Collier.” For Colors.—National Lead Co.’s Pure White Lead Tinting Colors, a one-pound can to • aj-pound keg of Lead and mix your own paints. Saves time and annoyance in matching shades, and insures the best paint that it is possible to put on wood. Send us a postal card and get our book on paints und color-card, free; it will probably save you a good many dollars. NATIONAL LEAD CO., New York.

THE INCOME TAX CASES Judge Jackson Will Be Present at the . Rehearing on Monday, ■ ■—■■Y—-JAPAN-CHINA 'SETTLEMENT. Belief In Washington That No Serlons Complications Are Likely to Grow Out of jt — Seinl-OMelal Statement From Russia as to the Eastern Interests Involved In the Matter. Washington, May 4.—There is no doubt that the reargument of the income tax cases in the supreme court will begin next Monday. The matter from the first has been contingent upon the arrival of Justice Jackson from Tennessee. Yesterday Chief Justice Fuller announced from the bench that Justice Jackson was expected to be present Monday. The announcement was made in response to a request frem General

fl -/ ■JUSTICE JACKSON.

Joseph Wheeler of Alabama, who is counsel for George W. Russ in the case of Tolfener vs. Russ, iu which is involved the title of 1,000,000 acres of land in Texas, that the arguments in the case be heard immediately after the income tax cases. The court denied the motion, the chief justice remarking incidentally that the court would not feel justified in asking Justice Jackson to continue his labors longer. General Wheeler has received a letter from Justice Jackson in which he says that his health is so much improved that he hopes for its complete restoration. JAPAN-CHINA SETTLEMENT. Belief Tl»at Seriou* European Complication* Will Be Averted. Washington, May 4. —It is the belief among officials that serious European complications over the Japan-China settlement may be averted. The interview of the Japanese minister at Paris to the effect that Japan was chiefly concerned in a sufficient indemnity and commercial concession is understood to sum up the situation. The cash indemnity was reduced 100,000,000 yen in consideration of additional cessions of territory, but now that Russia protests against the session of the Liao Tung peninsula to Japan it is not improbable, that an understanding satisfactory to both nations may be reached by which Japan will get more indemnity and less territory. It is stated that Japan begins to realize what a great expense, present and prospective, she has been put to, and how inconsiderable the 200,000,000 yen indemnity is in meeting this. There have been two issues of war bonds reaching 250,000,000 yen, and beside tfiis Japan had 30,000,000 yen on hand at the, opening of the war. Most, if not all, of this money has been expended on the war. so that the indemnity will not meet the past oiitlay. Besides this, it is said, the withdrawal of the troops from China, the payment of pensions to families of Japanese soldiers and the cost of maintaining or returning about 2,000 Chinese prisoners now on hand, makes an increased indemnity desirable. VIEWED FROM RUSSIA. Semi-Official Statement on the Oriental Peace Conditions. St. Petersburg, May 4.—A semi-offi-cial statement has been issued here dealing at length with the situation in the far east. It declares that the maintenance of the status quo on the Chinese, mainland is a political necessity whatever the issue of the present struggle may be. A realization of the Japanese claim would entirely abolish the fictitious independence of the Coreans and place in Japan’s hands the key to China’s capital! Moreover, it is added, Russia’and France would be compelled in their own interests to ward off their frontiers any cause for permanent uneasiness or serious crisis. • z Continuing, the statement says that Germany has the development of her commerce in these regions too much at heartjto see without misgivings German commercial houses exposed to continual disturbances. These three powers, which have communicated their view to Tokio and know how to enforce respect for them, do not intend to deprive Japan of the fruits of her victories, but her civilizing progress will sooner or later be menaced with destruction unless it is based on the principles upon which rest the concord of civilized nations. Lotteries and the Mall*. Washington, May 4.—Postal authorities are not much exercised over the reported intention of the lottery companies to carry on their business through the banks and telegraph companies. Under this system, it is said, tickets could not be delivered to buyers, bnt could only be registered at the office of the lottery company as belonging to them. The buyers .would thus be entirely at the companies mercy, and would hardly be numerous. Further, the cost of telegraphing would eat up mdst of the profits of the business and the next session of cohgress would unquestionably pass a law to stop the new method. ' Peace Treaty Ratified. . L London, May 4.—The Times has a (lispatch from Shanghai stating that the (emperor of China ratified the treaty of beace with Japan Thursday, and that ■V ... - i

Li Hung Chong will at once proceed to Chee Foo to exchange ratifications with the Japanese representatives. FOOTWEAR TO GO UP. DlanntUfnction In Shoe Circles Over the Contemplated Advance. Boston, May 4.—The contemplated advance in the price of shoes for the fall season, which was the result of a meeting of manufacturers in this city a few days ago, is creating considerable dissatisfaction in shoe circles all over the country. Especially is this the case where jobbers and retailers have taken contracts relying upon the present prices us a basis. The manufacturers contend that to continue business on the present basis, with the advance of leather, is simply ruinous and suicidal for anyone to attempt The continued rise in the price of leather, which is caused by the lack of hides, is given out as being responsible solely for the contemplated advance in prices. H» Wouldn’t Rl.k It Twice. “My friend,” said the candidate for Sheriff of Cheyenne, drawing a oneeyed stranger close to his means of livelihood, “do you want to make $5 easy to-night?” "Yep.” "All right. When I say in my speech, ‘ls there a man among you who will deny this statement?’ you jump to your feet in the rear of the hall and shout, *Yes, sir, I Will. You are a liar and 1 can prove it!’ and read from this clipping. Then I will call you down and make you ridiculous, but you will get the V nevertheless. Is it a go?” “Nope.” “Why not?” “I tried the same thing in Butte City a year ago, and the .candidate jumped on me so hard that the audience kfeked me out of the hall and rode me out of town on a rail. I didn’t get the five, either. Try it on some one else—l’ve been there.” —Boston Herald. Relief In Six Hours.

One of the curious outcomes of Mark Twain's assertion that there are only thirty-three jokes in existence is the fact that he is constantly receiving letters from men and, women who desire to refbte his statement bj’ sending him an entirely new and original joke. v Marvelous Results. From a letter written by Rev. J. Gunderman, ofjDiamondale, Mich., we are permitted to make this abstract: “I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. King’s New Discovery, as the results were almost marvelous in the case of my Wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist church at Rivers Junction she was brought with pneumonia succeeding lagrippe. Terrible paroxysms of coughing would last hours with little interruption and it seemed as if she could nolfemjyive them. A friend recommended Dr. King’s New Discovery; it was quick in its work and highly satisfactory results.” Trial bottles free at Blackburn & Miller's drug store. Regular size 50c and SI.OO. Lord MlHsfiflu and th Army Officer. An old army officer, who knew little of law, had been appointed of a West India island. The most appalling duty which the Governor had to perform was the administration of justice, and in his ignorance he addressed Lord Mansfield in a. tone of great concern, saying he knew nothing of law, and asking what, he should do as the presiding officer of the local Court of Chancery on the island to which he was going. “Tut, man,” said Mansfield. “decide promptly, but never give any reasons .for your decisions. Your decisions may be right, but your reasons are sure to be wrong.” Rheumatism Cubed in a Day.—“ Mystic Cure” for Rheumatism and Neuralgia, radically cures in 1 to 3 days.

It is now known that these are deep-sea forms. Fishes in the depth, two or three miles below the waves, live under extraordinary conditions, the pressure of the water being enormous. Now and then one of them leaves the bottom, perhaps in pursuit of prey, and ascends too far. The gases in its swim-ming-bladder expand, Its specific gravity liecomes less, and it literally tumbles upward to the surface of the see. Os course it dies Immediately.
