Heavy Life Insurance.

King Edward Vll.’s life Is Insured for &bont $3,750,000, while the Prince of Wales Is contented with $2,500,000. The Czar Is Insured for $1,600,000 and his eldest daughter, the Grand-Duchess Olga, for $2,500,000, while theXlzarlna’a policies amount to $1,250,000. The most heavily insured monarch was the late King Humbert, whose life was valued by himself at $7,500,000, so that the many Insurance companies among which the risks were divided were very hard hit by his assassination, > The German Emperor’s insurance also runs into seven figures.

An Houest Man's Opinion.

Vermont, Mo., April 28.—1 f what Mr. J. S. Tillery of this place says Is true —and none who know him doubt hie honesty—the new remedy, Dodd's Kidney Pills, is a wonderful medicine indeed. Mr. Tillery says: “I had Kidney and Liver Trouble for years. I had used many medicines, but could get nothing to cure me. “I heard of a new remedy called Dodd’s Kidney Pills and began a treatment, with the result that I was very soon on the mend. “I kept on using the pills and am now entirely better. I honestly do believe that they are the greatest remedy the world has ever seen. “I am always willing to help a good thing, and I cannot say too much for one that helped me so much. “If I didn’t know that Dodd’s Kidney Pills would do ail that Is claimed for them I wouldn’t say a word of praise for them.”

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL

~~ " Versatile weather has NeV YOrK. P ro^uc ®d erratic fluctua- »■ ■ ■ tions in prices and affected business very differently, according to locality. The extremes were blizzards and oppressive heat, with every intermediate variety. As the future prosperity of the railroads is more or less dependent upon the crops, the vagaries of the weather were quickly reflected in the markets for securities as well as in option sales of grain and cotton. Retail distribution of merchandise has maintained a good average, losses at some points being offset by gains elsewhere. Manufacturing plants are well employed, except where wage disputes interrupt. Coffee and silver touched low record prices, but the average of commodities advanced. Transporting interests maintain their wonderful record, railway earnings thus far reported for April exceeding last year’s by 5.2 per cent, and those of 1900 by 15.3 per cent. Dun & Co’s Weekly Review of Trade thus sums up conditions. The Review continues: Most large consumers of pig iron have provided for their needs well up to the end of the year, and consequently there is little change to report in the situation except as to small orders that appear from time to time. Quotations received by cable indicate that pressure in the United States has produced a decided advance abroad, and imports, after paying duty and freight, are extremely expensive. Movement of partially manufactured and finished steel products continue on a large scale. Lumber and building material are having the usual spring activity. Manufacturers of cotton goods are still behind with deliveries, and active machinery is assured for some time to come. Labor disputes have been temporarily adjusted, making* the output very heavy as compared with recent weeks, when the strikes were causing interruption. New orders are small, the recent liberal export demand being checked, it is thought, by the fall in silver. Jobbers have received requests for more prompt delivery, retail trade having expanded with the warmer weather. Quotations of cotton goods are firmly held, the strength of the raw material giving support. Independent woolen mills are working night and day. Wool moves slowly, and in Nwrae instances prices are shaded, but as a rule holders insist on fall figures. Footwear shops at the East have few new orders, und shipments from Boston continue to decrease. Jobbers have sufficient stocks to supply the retail demand and are inclined to delay placing contracts. Failures for the week numbered 221 in the United States, against 215 last year, and 18 in Canada, against 26 a year ago.

A week of great unceruUICdQO. tainty, nervousness and tion at first, giving way to coniicleuca and renewed activity at the close; " W wide fluctuation in prices of leading commodities—a week starting with a menace ever all, but ending with conditions as favorable, and an outlook as promising as could well be desired. Up to Wednesday nearly the entire western country stood in need of raia. The Northwest, although abundantly moist iu places, had complaints of dry soil and damage to early seeding from a considerable area. The Southwest w-as very dry, and in Kansas conditions were really alarming. A drought scare was getting well under way. Then came copious rains, bringing relief generally and loosening the tension everywhere. The grain markets and the stock market hung on the daily reports from the dry districts. As bad news came stocks weakened and grain prices advanced, and on the more favorable reports it was the reverse. A bull market started in wheat, trices advancing materially. July wheat in Chicago sold to 78*40, but with th* rain came a setback of 3 cents.

A PASTOR’S WIFE

She Suffered for Years and Felt Her Case Was Hopeless —Cured by Peruna. MRS. ANNA B. ELEHARTY, recent Superintendent of the W. 0. T. U. headquarters, at Galeaburg, 111., was for ten years one of the leading women there. Her husband, when living, was first president of the Nebraska Wesleyan University, at Lincoln, Neb. In a letter written from 401 Sixtyseventh street, W., Chicago, 111., Mrs. Fleiiarty says the following in regard to Peruna: "Having lived a very active life as wife and working partner of a busy minister, my health failed me a few years ago. I lost my husbsuMl about the same time, and gradually I seemed to lose health and spirit. My daughter is a confirmed invalid, and we both felt great need of an invigorator. “One of my neighbors advised me to try Peruna. A bottle was Immediately secured and a great change took place in my daughter’s as well as in my own health. Our appetites improved very rreatly, the digestion seemed much helped, and restful sleep soon Improved us, so that we seemed like new women. ••I would not be without Peruna for ten times its cost"—Mrs. Anna B. Fleharty. What used to be called female diseases by the medical profession is now called pelvic catarrh. It has been found by experience that catarrhal diseases of the pelvic organs are the cause of most cases of female disease. Dr. Hartman was i-nong the first of America’s great physicians to make this discovery. For forty years he has been treating diseases peculiar to women, and long ago he reached the conclusion that a woman entirely free from catarrhal affection of these organs would not be •abject to female disease. He therefore began using Penina for these cases and found it so admirably adapted to their permanent cure that Peruna has now become the most famous*'remedy for female diseases ever known. Everywhere the women are using it and praising it. Peruna is not a palliative simply; it cures by removing ths cause of female disease. Dr. Hartman has probably cured more women of female ailments than any other living physician. He makes these cures simply by using and recommending Peruna. Mrs. E. L. Brown, 329 Elliott street, Memphis, Tenn., writes:

• Health will come with all Its blessings to those who know the way, and it is mainly a question of right-living, with all the term implies, but the efforts which strengthen the system, the games which refresh and the foods which nourish are important, each in a way, while it is also advantageous to have knowledge of the best methods of promoting freedom from unsanitary conditions. To assist nature, when nature needs assistance, it is all important that the medicinal agents used should be of the best quality and of known value, and the one remedy which acts most beneficially and pleasantly, as a laxative, is—Syrup of Figs—manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. With a proper understanding of the fact that many physical ills are of a transient character and yield promptly to the gentle action of Syrup of Figs, gladness and comfort come to the heart, and if one would remove the torpor and strain and congestion attendant upon a constipated condition of the system, take Syrup of Figs and enjoy freedom from the aches and pains, the colds and headaches and the depression due to inactivity of the bowels. In case of any organic trouble it is well to consult a competent physician, but when a laxative is required remember that the most permanently gratifying results will follow personal cooperation with the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs. It is for sale by all reliable druggists. Price fifty ' cents per bottle. . , The excellence of Syrup of Figs comes from the beneficial effects of the plants used in the combination and also from the method of manufacture which ensures that perfect purity and * uniformity of product essential in a perfect family laxative. All the members of the family from the youngest to the most advanced in years may use it whenever a laxative Is needed and share alike in its beneficial effects. We do not claim that Syrup of Figs is the only remedy of known value, but it possesses this great advantage over all other laxatives that it acts gently and pleasantly without disturbing natural functions, in any way, as it is free from every objectionable quality or substance. To get its beneficial effects it is always necessary to buy the genuine and the full name of the Co.—California Fig Syrup Co.—is printed on the front of every package.

“I suffered for several years with headache brought on by nervous prostration. I was also afflicted with insomnia. I would get up in the morning more weary than when I retired and 1 used to dread the approach of night. Peruna came into my home as a welcome guest, and within three short months I was like another woman. I have now enjoyed perfect health for over a year, and those who have suffered as I did will know how happy I am.”—Mrs. E. L. Brown. Mrs. Esther M. Milner, De Graff, Ohio, writes; “I was a terrible sufferer from female weakness and had the headache continuously. I was not able to do my housework for myself and husband. I wrote you and described my condition as near as possible. You recommended Peruna. I took four bottles and was completely cured. I think Peruna a wonderful medicine.”—‘Mrs. Esther M. Milner. Congressman Thad. M. Mahon, of Chambersburg, Pa., writes: **l take pleasure in commending your Peruna as a substantial tonic and a good catarrh remedy."— T. M. Mahon.
