Uncle Sam's warships do na honor to the nary when they spend alt night on shoals -r mud basks.

The coasting must be unusually fine In that locality It has just been discovered that the earth has existed only M.tHW.MO years. And this country Is Just be ginning to realize Its full possibilities. Pay as you enter and pay as yon go are good rules to follow whether applied to street cars of any other service or want In the way of living. The fact that eggs refused to coanprobably Is due to the fact that age has lent them at least some mod esty. The latest cure for tuberculosis Is rattlesnake venom. There does not seem to the average Individual much choice between the remedy and the j disease. While It Is all right for a farmer to buy a motor car if he can afford It. he should not raottgage his farm In order to do so It takes a fast motor to outrun n mortgage. Unprecedented things are happening the world over. But do not get alarmed. Some things are Just as before. For instance, a revolution Is going on in Santo Domingo. A man In New Jersey came near ' drowning In a tank In midair. Its clt- j Izens cannot even shuffle off this mor- j tal coll In a conventional and usual way in that spectacular state.

From the way that war between Chinese Tongs In New York and elsewhere Is raging It looks like a case of hammer and tongs. Cannot some one take a poker to the combatants? China now wants railroads. The great wall between that empire and the civilized world is down at last. On the new railroads occidental Ideas and Institutions will be the principal part of the freight they will carry. If, at the inltiatlre of the United States, the world forms a general peace court, at which Its differences can be arbitrated and arranged, it will be the greatest work a nation could eTer perform. But Its realization sounds too much like the establishment of an International millennium. It will require so many concessions from human nature to international politics. The old story of the pitcher that goes too often to the well Is told again In the case of that New York ' farmer killed a few days ago by an explosion of dynamite. He bad been blowing ot stumps, and left dynamite caps In his pocket. While be was pitching some bay into his barn, the fork hit his pocket and be was blown up.

T SENATOR M'CUMBER DECLARES FARMERS GETS INADEQUATE RETURNS FOR PRODUCTS. WILSON COMPARES PRICES Secretary Shows Enormous Advances Both by Wholesaler and Retailer Says Rates on Sugar, Tea, Spices, Crackers Have Been Reduced. Washington. Feb. 5. Senator McCttHber of North Dakota, in a speech ia the senate discussing the increased price of foodstuffs, declared that the farmer gets an Inadequate return for his prod acte. The senator made some statements i which, if they are founded on fact. show that the packers, wholesalers reUdlers of Iiim are making ..tc tht, neontlan nf the ! human mind in their enormity. Hused his own knowledge, a report of Secretary Wilson and a price card of the senate restaurant to prove his contention. "An average beef animal on a Dakota ranch brings $70." he said, "but according to the prices here," pointing to the senate restaurant bill of fare, -It is sold to the customers who eat there for the enormous sum of 12,500, ! enough to buy half a farm. And prices In the ordinary restaurant show that the $70 beef animal Is sold for 55.00. The fact that the farmer gets bat $70 shows that he does not get the money, and the effect of the bills to take the tariff off meat and the prod- ! ucts of the farm would be to establish a legislative boycott against the tiller of the soil." Wholesaler Gets Biggest Advance. The comparison of prices submitted by Secretary Wilson of the department of agriculture show enormous increases by both wholesaler and retailer the advance being greater for the retailer in one product and for the wholesaler in another, but mostly the big advance was by the wholesaler. Here are some samples: Bread Wholesale. 25.1: retail. 4.9. Batter Wholesale. Elgin. 29.8; creamery extra. 27.5; dairy, 24.6; retail 20.5: no quality Indicated. Cheese Wholesale. IS. 9 ; retail, 20.3.

Milk Wholesale. 30.0; retall. 1S.1. Potatoes Wholesale, 70.6; retail, 2S.S. The report shows that prices on sugar, teas, spices and soda crackers have been slightly reduced. The advances shown by the secretary were for the year 1907 over the year 1S99, which was regarded as normal. And great as those advances are, they have been greatly swelled by advances since 1907. Substitutes Are Used. In the report of the secretary, which wa- In response to the resolution of Senator Crawford, he shows in a measure why advances by the wholesalers were generally greater than those by retailers. The substitution of poorer goods in the case ho gives, the report says: "It Is not possible, in taking the retall prices over a large area, to secure results standardized with the same degree of accuracy as In the case of wholesale prices. It was known that in the retail trade, as prices advance, substitutions are made of the same name nut oi imenor gr.iuc. u impossible to determine to what extent this process of substitution may have taken place In the various articles."

The "lid" was clamped upon the Investigation of the National Packing Company the "beef trust" by the federal grand Jury. The usual means of preserving the secrecy of grand jury deliberations hare been deemed Insufflcient by the otllcials in charge of the present grand Jury and steps were taken to make absolutely certain that there was no "leak" by which the deliberations of the grand jury might be made known to any one other than the grand Jurors and the government officials prosecuting the investigation. Fear of action by Judge Landls. who directed the Investigation, also was a moving factor in bringing about the efforts to keep the deliberations absolutely secret. Inquiry Must Be Decorous. Judge Landls is determined that the investigation of the meat Industry that he ordered shall be conducted along the most decorous lines and he has instilled that Idea Into the minds of those in the federal building until they are worried over the chance of his wrath falling upon them.

Mr. Hallinger said he had been of the opinion that by not having counsel present he would be assisting tho committee, or at lenst would not be hampering it, in making n full Inquiry of its own.

COOPER'S SALES ARE ENORMOUS HI3 PREPARATIONS LEADING TOPIC IN OMAHA CALLERS AT YOUNG MAN'S HEADQUARTERS INTERVIEWED.

Omaha, Neb., Feb. 9. Tho most Interesting featuro of tho enormous ealo of tho Cooper preparations, now going on In this city, Is what the im-d-Icines aro actually accomplishing among tho people of Omaha. At tho commencement of his visit hero Mr. Cooper prophesied that during tho Inter part of his stay ho would recelvo hundreds of callers dally who cnuio simply to thnnk him for what tho preparations had done. He nlbo stated that stomach trouble is the foundation for a great many diseases and that his New Discovery, as it ib called, would provo very effective In all cases of rheumatism simply i,y getting tho stomach In working order. That this prophecy hns been fullllKd cannot bo doubted after a half-huur spent at the young man's headquarters listening to what his callers hava to say. A reporter, who watched to ascertain, If possible, some light on the reasons for tho Immensity of Cooper's success, Interviewed about twenty of his callers yesterday afternoon. The statements mado by those seen indicate that physicians who claim that Cooper Is merely a passing fad, have not looked into tho facts. Some of these statements were as follows: W. J. Grant, a popular cigar dealer at 508 South Sixteenth street, upon being questioned, said: "After a most remarkable experience with the Cooper remedies, I cannot refrain from saying that anyone who Is suffering in any way from stomach trouble, and who does not give this Cooper medicine a trial, Is passing up a golden opportunity for restoration to good health. "For three years I was troubled with my stomach, and what little I did eat gave me distress. Nothing tasted right. I felt weak and bad nearly all tho time. I was nervous and allowed matters of small importance to worry me. I treated with two different physicians, but received no benefit. I had about reached the conclusion that medical sclenco had not yet produced anything that would help me. "However, a number of friends urged me to try Cooper's New Dlscovory, and they were so persistent that I finally took new hope and got a bottlo of the Cooper medicine. After I had begun to take it 1 wondered why I had not taken it long ago. Its efft-ct was marvelous brought me right ouL I regained my appetite, took on ! new strength in fact, began to ieel I like a different man altogether. I ! would not havo believed there was a 1 medicine on earth that could do so ' nch In a condition that has for many months made my life miserable. There Is no need of my going into detail, for anyone who hoscver had stomach ! trouble knows tho suffering to be en dured. I became weakened and run down, and lifo began to be a drag. I U'flü TOO 1 111 I1KI II Ilt'W lllilll-w.-.-0 vcloped a splendid appetite, could eat anything I wanted with no ill effects, and it all tnsted good. My strength returned and once more work became a pleasure. "I havo taken four bottles, and shall continue Its use until I am fully recovered, which I am confident not take long. This is a remarkable preparation for any one who is 'all in as a result of close conilnoment and overwork. I earnestly remnmend it to anyone In this condition.'" Other statements taken from those who had previously used the medl clnos seem to provo that Cooper's success throughout tho country is gen uine. Why His Mother Mourned. William M.
