THE BLUES. When a cheerful, brave, light-hearted woman Is suddenly plunged into that perfection of miser, the blves, it is a sad picture. It is usually this ways She has been feeling "out of sorts" for some time ; head has ached, and back also; has slept poorly, been quite nervous, and nearly fainted once or twice; head dizzy, and -ff: heart has beat rery fast: then (. that bear- ing-down feeling. Her doctor says, "cheer up, you have dyspepsia; you'll be all right soon." But she doesn't (ret " all right." She grows worse day by day, till all at once she realizes that a distressing fe male complaint is established. Her doctor has made a mistake. She has lost faith in him; hope van ishes; then comes the brooding, morbid, melancholy, everlasting blues. Lydia E.

Stop its work, rub and brighten and let it rest. In short while it will be restored and will run smoothly. The human system is a machine. Too much work and worry are thrown upon it; too much of the heat of daily cares; too much of the steam of daily business. The nerves becomecranky; they are restless, sleepless and twitchy, and a neuralgic condition sets in. Pain throws the machine out of gear and it needs rest and treatment to strengthen and restore. St. Jacobs Oil is the one remedy of all pe culiarly adapted to a prompt and sure cure. So many have so treely testined from experience and use to its efficacy in the cure of neuralgia that it passes without saying that it surely cures. It will be a gracious surprise to many after the free use of it to l.nd how easily pain, cares and worry may be lifted, and how smoothly the human machine goes ou. Largest Leather Belt. i'he largest leather belt in the world is said to be that in use by the Louisi ana Electric Light Company of New Orleans, which was manufactured ex pressly for i . by a Chicago firm. In terest has recently been renewed in this great belt by a recent test to which it was put. Some time ago one of the engines of th plant was shut down for repairs and the belt oarried for several days the load of the entire station, transmitting by actual test a load of 2,200 horse-power. The belt was de signed to transmit 1,800 horsepower, but the extra load was borne without the slightest sign of failure. This belt is regarded as the largest one ever made. It weighs 3,303 pounds, and the hides of 650 steers were consumed in its manufacture. This was partly due to the fact that nothing but the centers of the hides were used. The belt has now been in "Be about a year; it has never required any alteration, runs true and straight, and so far has given not a moment's trouble. It is made without rivets or pegs, depending en tirely upon cement to hold the sections together. It cost $2,100. A Famous Graveriigger. ., .

OPPOSITION IN WEST AND SOUTH SaBelant Number of Sanatora and Rep resentatives Fledged to In surw Its Abolition. Washington, Nov. 16. A strong effort will be made during the coming session of congress to secure the repeal of the oivil-servioe law. -The support ers of this movement say that they have hai promises from a sufficient number of senators and representatives to co-operate with them to insure its success, provided that all those mem bers who have heretofore favored the repeal are still of the same mind. Thomas R. McKee, the journal clerk of the house of tepresentatives, who has long been a bitter opponent of the existing law, and who has taken pains to ascertain the views of many of the members on the subject, said today that he was confident that if the oppor tunity offered for a direct vote on the question of repeal, it would be carried by a large majority. "While it is not true," said he, "that I have been engaged in making a canvass of the house on this matter, it is trne that I have talked with a great many members about it. I am convinced that for snoh n proposition my own state of Indiana would give its entire 13 votes, and I believe that Ohio and Illinois are just as much opposed to the law. As for the Western states I do not believe that they will furnish a single vote for the retention of the system, and in the South, both Demo crats and Republicans, with only a few isolated exceptions, would welcome its abolition. It is purely an eastern in stitution, and it is entirely unrepubli can and un-American. "It was originated by the college professors and educators of the East, especially of New England, the center of our educational system, for the ex press purpose of providing easy and comfortable berths for such of their graduates as were not physically able to stand the strain of the professional life for which they were trained, or who found the professional ranks al ready well filled. The manufacture of college graduates went on so fast that it became necessary for the professors to find some outlet for the young men whom they were turning into the crowded fields of law, medicine and theology. So they turned to the gov ernment and, with Dorman B. Eaton at their head, himself a life-long educator, induced it to require of applicants for government positions a preliminary ex amination, which, in many cases, they knew only men fresh from the colleges could pass successfully. "It is a fact that President McKin ley is now having as much trouble in satis factorily filling the 800 or so places he has to give away as Grant did to dis pose of 200,000 places. There is al most as much eagerness and strife around the White House today over a little $600 position as there used to be over the appointment of the minister to Germany. This shows that the desire for office is still as strong, and it is a natnral desire. Representative Gros venor made a strong point when he said in his speech that the right of a man to participate in the affairs of the gov ernment in other ways than by merely casting his ballot was one that could not be constitutionally taken away from him. The heads of the govern ment department should have the right to make the appointments of their sub ordinates, and they should be held re sponsible for their actions. The presi dent would then have less of his time wasted on small matters of patronage, and after filling the larger and more important offices would then be able to devote himself to affairs of state. "That there is a strong sentiment in the country at large in favor of the re peal of . the law I am sure, and I am satisfied, also confident, that the senti ment will find expression in congress during the coming session. The only recent vote that has been had npon the subject which gives any foundation npon which to base a calculation as to the result, was had towards the close of the last session of the 54th congress. A proposition was made by Mr, Brosius, of Pennsylvania, to extend the opera tions of the civil service law in a cer tain particular. The question was as to the consideration of the bill, and it was defeated by a two-thirds majority. While this was not a direct vote it afforded an indication, if not of the strength of the repeal movement, at least of the weakness of the supporters of the civil service system. - "It is my opinion that if nothing else is done, the civil service commis sion will be abolished with all of its cumbrous machinery. In its stead a departmental examination to determine the fitness of applicants for appoint ment in the government service will be substituted. This would be very proper, so far as the Washington de partments are concerned, but I would not require even this in offices outside of Washington, and I would limit all office-holding tenures to four years each. The civil service commission costs the people now $150,000 a year." A number of others have spoken in a similar strain recently. Confessed to Drowning Bis Child. Kansas City, Nov, 16.

Office of Downing-, Hopkins & Co., Chicago Board of Trade Broken, 711-714Cliamber of Com merce Building, Portland, Oregon. The action of the market lias been a great disappointment to the bulls, and there is a growing feeling that with favorable conditions in the winter wheat sections for the next two weeks, that wheat possiby may sag still lower. The news has been rather bearish in many respects, the enormous receipts Xmuch of which is low grade), the heavy rains in the winter wheat sec tions in the past week, the improved conditions in the Argentine, and the smaller demand for flour has caused a liquidating movement to set in that has carried May wheat down to a lower price than it has seen for a long time. Claims are made that the ealier esti mates of Europe's import requirements of breadstuffs are now thought to have been somewhat too high. In addition, the demand has been, so far, easily met, causing together a shade of indif ference on the part of purchasers. In all estimates of the future, much is made of what may be expected of the crops of the Argentine and of the Au stralian colonies. Too many perhaps, forgot that while harvesting begins in about a month, the products of the harvest do not appear, to any great ex tent, before April or May. The large shipments from Russia and America yet stifle any undue efforts on the part of buyers in Western Europe to secure larger shipments at present, especially us the quantity on passage is about double the amount so found at the be ginning of our crop season. It is not surprising, in view of these conditions that the markets have occasions of re lapse But later, when the two prin ci pal sources of supply begin to show aoiu il exhaustion, as they may be ex pected to, at the rapid rate of shipping, an upward turn in affairs is likely to e.ifiie. It should be no disappointment to those who habitually understate the resources of exporters to find relapse in prices when the facts showing it are developed. Still there need lie no great apprehension of the future for the sup ply is none too great for the naturul wants of the world. Portland Market.

It will be interesting to those who enjoy plain fishing with angle worms for bait to know the methods of obtain ing them when the weather is dry and the bait hides deep in the ground. If strong salt water or an infusion of tan nin or walnut husks is sprinkled on the surface the worms generally come out. Again, if stakes or spades are driven deep into the soil and shaken violently, the operation frequently calls the angle worms from their retreats. REPORT IS APPROVED Miles' Estimates of Cost of Our Seacoast Defenses. FEARS NO TROUBLE WITH SPAIN Over Three Millions Need.d-Su05.000 Recommended for the Columbia and HI, 140,000 for ll Sound.

Secretary Alger has approved the estimates for the ooast-defonse work submitted by General Miles, and they will be sub mitted to Chairman Cannon, of the house committee on appropriations some days before the opening of the session. In accordance with law, the expenditures of the different seaports are itemized, but the secretary will ask for authority to spend the money in lump sums, bo that work on any par ticular defense may he hurriod to meet emergencies. General Miles divides the fortification appropriation for the Pacific oonst as follows: Pan Diego, Cal.,. $ 725,000 San Francisco l.lMUK-O Columbia river wi.i,(K i) Puget aound l,140,uuo In his report to the secretary, Gen eral Miles makes no reference to pos sible complications with Spain, but says: "Although the general desire of our people is to maintain a condition of peace with all nations, and the policy of the government is one of good will and peaceful relations with all others, yet nothing could be more injurious than to settle in a condition of inse curity and permit the lives of millions and the accumulated wealth of many generations to be destroyed or endanger ed by any foreign power with which we are liable to come In contact, and the general plan for defense which hua been adopted by the government should be steadily pursued until the nation is in the condition of security and safety whioh a due regard for self-preservation would demand." A VALUABLE CYCLOPEDIA. Commercial Directory of American Re publics Presented to th. President. Washington, Nov. 15. Secretary Sherman, Minister Iioniero of Mexico, and Minister Merouof Argentine, mem bers of the executive committee of the. bureau of American republics, were at the White House today and presented the first vol u 11111 of the commercial di rectory of the American republics to President MoKinley. There was con siderable formality about the matter, the presentation being made in the blue parlor. Secretary Sherman presented the volume, saying the work was re garded as of "such vast practical im portance to the commerce of our coun try, as to be well worthy that we ihoul j come in a body to present it to you. Upon looking through its pages you will discern its far-reaching value as a factor in disseminating general in formation respecting the natural re sources, the peculiar commercial activi ties, the varying occupations, the in dustries and the latent capbilities of the countries of the Western hemis phere." President McKinley made a formal response, expressing his interest in the work of the bureau and the hope that the publication would lead to a closer commercial relation between the repub lics of America. With the volume was transmitted a letter to the president from Joseph P. Simth, direotor of the bureau, in which he stated the objects of the publication. It is a commercial oyclopedia of the Western hemisphere, intended to furnish information for the benefit .of merchants and agriculturists. President McKinley has been congratu lated from time to time during the progress of the work; and has shown great interest in il. A WHITjECAP OUTRAGE. Two Ohio Girls Beaten andtKrred and Feathered.
