Al Hankins, the well known gambler and horseman, was instantly killed by a folding bed in Chicago a few nights ago. The coal mine operators are fearing a general strike. The small mine owners generally seem willing to accede to the demands of the strikers, while the larger operators are more obstinate. The board of trustees of Plymouth church, Chicago, have decided to invite Rev. DeWitt Talmage to fill the pulpit made vacant by the illness of the regu Bar pastor. Dr. Erank Uunsauhis. whose vacation has been extended until next December. The president of Uruguay, J. Idiarte Borda, was assassinated at a public fete Blast Wednesday. This was the second attempt made upon the president's life. A revolution has broken out afresh in that country and the assassination is no

surprise to the government officials at Washington who have been watching the course of events in Uruguay. The assassin has been arrested. The wheat crop of Nebraska this year is said to be unprecedented. The total yield is 45,000,000 bushels, an average of 20 bushels to the acre. The quality of the wheat is tirst-class. From South Dakota and other western states come reports equally encouraging concerning the crops. This presages a period of ST r eat prosperity forthat section of the country, a large portion of which has been suffering sadly from crop failures and general hard tinjes for the past three or four years. The shortage in the wheat cr-p of foreign countries and the greatly in creased demand for this cereal resulting from this condition is the one great j cause assignable for the late rapid a-h anc< in the price of wheat. Legislation m> doubt may have some effect indirectly ton the prices of agricultural products but this is small as compared with the influence exercised by the great law of supply and demand, which is the prime regulator of prices, ai <1 no amou- • ..f theorizing will suffice to disprove lais self evident fact. Relations of a somewhat strained mature exist between this government and Peru. The trouble is the outgrowth of an attempt of the United States to -collect a claim against Peru on behalf of Victor 11. McCord, of Pennsylvania, who •was held up and robbed ten years ago Dy men who then represented the revolu cionary government which won its cause and is now in power. Peru has failed to pay the damages, which McCord demands, and the United States has now vaken the matter in hand and proposes to see that reparation is made, and w ill resort to force against the little South American republic if such an unfortu aiate measure should become necessary. Thoughts in Vacation Time. tTrom the Boston Transcript. In these days the city man thinks yearningly of his boyhood in the country and wonders if his cousin in Higginsville is yet in the land of the living and still owns that tine old farm with giant elms in front of it. It all back to him now, that gentle, rural life: the sunset glow over the mill pond: the trout fishing in the brook, the shade of the elms on the sultry afternoon; the quiet of the old bouse broken only by the striking of the eight-day clock that has been in the family for five gen-; orations. And his cousin always was a free handed, companionable man, if a little homespun. The longing for, country life is unappeasable, and the city man writes to the postmaster at Higginsville and inquires cmfiden’b if, iiis cousin is alive. TEEGARDEN.

To those who suffer pain th- joy of relief is indescribable. Debility or nervous prostration causes all the inconveniences of pain, though not its sharpness. It is a later stage of disease. Pains and debility are symptoms of a deranged condition of the kidneys. Both will disappear when the kidneys are made to act right, not before. Dis- | eased or inactive kidneys can be CURED 1 have been troubled more or less with kidney and liver disorder for some time, a part of the time not able to get around l and not feeling well when I was around I bought a box of Hobbs Sparagus Kid ney Pills and a box of Liver Pills fron i Bradley Bros., and used them according to directions, and am glad to say thej have done me good, and I can cheerfully recommend them. l Thurston Hai.derman, Wabash, (nd HOBBS Sparagus Kidney Pills.
