Nebraska's populist governor
has vetoed a. resolution of thanks
to the soldiers of J the state at
Manila because the; phraseology
did not suit him. The veto was
the result of a consultation with
Mr. Bryan, who objected to the
statement that the Nebraska
regiment -in .the Philippines is j
defending the principles of our
government and adding new
glory to our flag." Bryan is de-

On an estimated basis of

wealth and of 7, 000,000 as the
population in iQjoo, the average
wealth per capita in the United
States will show) an increase of
from $1,050, in 1890 to $1,466
in 1900, or considerably greater
than that of any other nation
Heretofore the United States
has ranked fifth among the na

figures being $1,200 for the
United Kingdom, $1,150 for

for the United Stages. '
The increase of $45,000,000,

the history of nations. It rep

THAT is what the farmer said when he was directing a stranger on his journey. " When you come to
Bgaj 1 1 1 1 cross-roads keep to the main traveled way." There's a sound logic in that
. . advice which those who are starting out in search of health might well heed.
"Stick to the main traveled road and you'll come out all right." .
Many hundreds of thousands. of people have marked a path for you to follow. It has led them to
health. ; This path which they have .trodden leads to the Invalids Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo,
N. Y., where Dr. Pierce, the chief consulting physician, and .his staff numbering nearly a score of experi
enced and skilled specialists, are every day engaged in the treatment and cure of chronic diseases. Much of
the treatment is by correspondence. Any sick person is invited to consult Dr. R. V. Pierce by letter abso
lutely free of charge and under the. promise of -absolute privacy.
There is hope for everyone who begins the use of hv Pierce's treatment. Out of the many thousands
treated, ninety-eight per cent, have been absolutely cured by Dr. Pierce and his staff of physicians. A great
ntnnber of these, were the "hopeless" cases' for which the home doctor said nothing could be done. People
with weak lungs, obstinate cough, bronchitis, and other forms of disease which if neglected, or badly treated
lead on to consumption, have , been positively cured through the advice of Dr. Pierce and his staff of skilled
specialists, and the use of that marvelous medicine, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
Sarah E. Taylor, of Eureka, Greenwood
County, Kansas, writes : I wish to say
to you for the benefit of suffering- humanity,
I had ' been a sufferer for fifteen years
nearly all the time; and in August, 1896,
was taien with severe cramping pain in my
stomach. The doctor here said it was due
to g3ll stones.' He relieved me- for a short
time, and then there was a hard lump about
the si2e of a goose egj? formed in my
right side. It became so sore I could
scarcely walk about the house, and I had "

doctors in town and they said medicine

thought I would write to you telling you of

your - Oolden Medical Discovery and

directions. I had not taken moref than
half a bottle of each when I began to feci
better, and my appetite came back. Now;
it is a little over a year since I began to do

GRAIN YET UNSOLD.
It is said by one who ought to
. know thatabout half! the wheat
raised last year in the Willamette
' valley is yet unsold. Some of it
is in the warehouses, but a great
deal of it is yet in the granaries
of the producers on their farms.
They have been holding j for
Iritrher Dnces. c Tlie Wisdom 1 of
this may be doubtedbut it is the
fact, and it wilt have a bearing
on the prosperity of, the crop
year that is now . under way. A
crrcat deal of wheat, too, thaf
was raised last year by the fann
ers of Eastern Oregon and
Eastern Washington j is. .yet in
their hands. Like their, broth
er agriculturists on this side of
the Cascade range, they think
they should have better prices
before parting with their grain.
If the markets should for any
reason become active," with half
a crop on hand to dispose' of,
and a full crop to harvest and
send away, times would be live

railroads would have their hands
