Mot a Candidate For Treasurer.

Some time ago there appeared in the REPUBLICAN an item from Eden suggesting my name for Treasurer of Hancock county. Since said item appeared I have been asked many times if I would be a candidate for said office. Allow me in this connection to thank the Eden correspondent and all others who have so much confidence in me as to associate my name with so important a position, but owing to my business relations I will be compelled to say no as I cannot be a candidate Very respectfully,

Sewer Connections.

Street Commissioner Hook proposes to keep his eyes open and see that all sewer ditches where connections are made by property owners with the system are properly filled and the streets left in good condition with the gravel on top. In other cities ordinances require that a bond be given, that all connections with a aewer system be properly made. This is required since a leakage of dewer gas would be dangerous to the health ef the city. Proper precautions in making property owners put the streets in as good condition as they were before their private ditch was put in, will save the •ityllots of money.

A False Fire Alarm.

Saturday night some girls seeeing some smoke arising over Dr. Larimores house and detecting the odor of smoke in the house, telephoned in an alarm of fire. The whistle blew but the mistake was discovered and reported before the fire wagon got out as no location was named when the alarm was turned in. The smoke and the odor came Jfrom a trash fire in a lot adjacent to Dr. Larimore's and no harm resulted, the only effect beicg some excited girls.

NOT UP TO EXPECTATIONS. Business Has Improved but Very llttl* During the Fast Week.

NEW YORK, May 2.—R. G. Dun & Company's weekly review of trade says: As the season advances there is more business, but advices indicate that on the whole the prevalent feeling is that the gain is less than there is reason to expect. While retail trade has been active enough to materially lessen stocks and obligations, and thus to prevent a great many threatened embarrassments, it has not yet brought enough ne*. .business to mills and factories to prevent decrease of unfilled orders and closing of some works. Substantially the same state of things exists in all the great industries, notwithstanding the strong combination in some, and evidence of inadequate consumption appeal's in the fact that the general range of prices for commodities, farm and mine as well as manufactured products, is nearly 1 per cent lower than it was April 1, and the lowest ever known, the decline since October, 1892, being 16.7 per cent.

Speculation has raised cotton an eighth, though receipts and crop prospects still favor lower prices, and accumulated stocks of unsold £oods are very large. Wheat has declined 4 5-8 cents for cash, with better accounts of winter and rapid seeding of spring. With only two months of the crop yeajr remaining there is little to encourage higher prices. Silk has weakened a little, owing to the overloading of Japanese dealers. Wool is weaker, the wool year closing with the greatest quantity of wool on hand ever carried at this season. April sales were smaller than in any month since June, 1894. Exports continue both of domestic and foreign wool, and sales by manufacturers who lack orders to continue production. Woolen goods have not improved in demand, and flannels have opened 5 to 15 per cent lower than last year, though the material decrease of production has given to other men's goods a rather stronger tone. Dress goods are helped by the restriotion of foreign imports, but the association reports that on the whole wool machinery is not more than half employed. Some cotton mills have ceased production, including one large printing establishment, and stocks on hand still increase, though for brown goods there has been a better legitimate demand, and great quantities of ginghams have been moved by drives at prices low beyond all precedent. The decrease in shipment of woolen goods from Europe has been quite marked, and stocks in warehouse are large and increasing.

Large purchases of lake ore by the principal consumers, contracts securing control of low phosphorus ore and lower rail rates to Chicago for Connellsville coke in order to compete with Pocahontas coke, are the main features in the iron industry, but the revival of demand is yet deferred. Higher prices for nails have caused active buying for the week, but large consumers decline to contract as yet for bars, and the rod combination has fallen through. Middlemen still sell steel billets at $19 at Pittsbug against $20 asked by the pool, but the stock available is said to be only 30,000 tons. Structural prospects are good, but in other branches the demand is less active, and Bessemer pig is weak at $13 at Pittsburg. The anthracite coal concerns have advanced the price 25 cents per ton.

Failures for the week have been 288 in the United States, against 231 last year, and 31 in Canada, against 34 last year.

SICK AND DESTITUTE.

Miss Barton Finds a 1'itiful State iu Anatolia. NEW YORK, May 2.—Dr. A. Monroe

Lesser, executive surgeon of the Red Cross hospital in this city, has received a letter from Miss Clara Barton dated Constantinople, April 12, in which she says that contagious diseases have spread very much at Zeitoun and Marash, in the interior of Anatolia. The first news of the trouble, Miss Barton says, came from the assemblage of foreign consuls at Zeitoun to Sir Philip Currie and a request for me to try and reach there with help.

The patients are in need of everything, and as the mountainous roads were impassable, being covered with snow, eight physicians from the medical college in Beyrout, Syria, under the direction of the distinguished American physician, Dr. C. Y. Harris, volunteered to go and attend to the patients. Miss Barton writes that Dr. Hubbell, in charge of an expedition at Marash, telegraphed that more doctors were needed' and that a great deal of medicine and concentrated food were also needed. The diseases prevalent are typhus and typhoid fever, smallpox, dysentery und the death rate is very large.

This verdict conclusively settles the question and proves that Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is superior in every way to any other brand.

to

Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder

The highest award was given on every claim, comprising superiority in leavening power, keeping properties, purity and excellence. This verdict has been given by the best jury ever assembled for such a purpose, backed by the recommendation of the Chief Chemist of the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., who made an elaborate examination and test of all the baking powders. This is pre-eminently the highest authority on such matters in
