Miss Kate Antes, will sell on the premises No. 535 South West street, a lot of household goods, consisting of furniture, carpets, glass ware and other articles. For base balls, bats, catchers gloves, mitts, masks and all base ball utensils go to Mercer's Drug & Book Store. We don't see any necessity for exhibitions ol pride over the pos session of a chainless bicycle. There's nothing so very new about them. Why, our grandmothers often took spins on chainless wheels. A wheel gave way on a carriage belonging to Chester Catkins, of Beach Haven on lower end of liast St., Tuesday afternoon, and had to be abandoned until a new wheel was procured. The crash which follow ed the smashing of the wheel, frightened the horse, which was a spirited animal, and he nearly got away lrom the driver. Parties who sweep their sidewalks every morning would do a great lavor lor the people who pass, if they would sprinkle their walks with water before sweeping, or else wait a second or two until the ped estrians pass by. It is not very pleasant to be compelled to go through n cloud of dust, and there would be no need of it if the clerks wuuiu iuaKe use 01 a little more judgement and care. The Normal School base ball team kept on in its winning way Saturday afternoon at Wi liamspoi t iy downing the colors of the Dem orests of that city by the close score if 7 to 6. From a jitrson who wit nessed the performance we learn 1 hat the game was a fine one, and that Williams, pitcher for the Nor mals, made an excellent showing .'.gainst the opposing batters, many if whom are old ringers. On the whole the school has an outfit this season of unusual merit, and one :hat will make the best of them play to win. i To Cora t'oii.tlputlon Forever.

The latest renorts lrom the Philin. pine Islands, tend to show that the insurgents nave abandoned all hope of continuing the war. A meeting of the Filipino Congress was held at San Isidro for the purpose of deciding on terms of peace. According to the re port a large number of those who at tended the meeting were partisans of Aguinaldo, all of whom expressed a strong desire for peace. There has been very little fighting of late. A number of the American transports have sailed for home. Fur ther bloodshed is not anticipated. Damages Awarded.

Business of toe Week- The failures in April were the small est in any month since records by months began, 38 per cent, smaller than in April of last year, not a third of the amount in 1897, and not half the amount in April of any previous ., d .1 r . 7 1 year. Both m manufacturing and in irauing mey were tne smallest ever known in that month, and in trading the smallest ever known in any month, as in manufacturing they were if the larger failures were omitted. The ratio of defaulted liabilities to solvent pay ments through clearing houses was less than 70 cts. per $i,oco, against 90 cts. in January and $1.19 in March, $7.89 in August and $8.02 in Sep tember, 1896. A great share of the risk in the business world has been eliminalcd. It is not inconsistent or strange if business halts, because it has been crowded to the utmost for four months in an.icipating future needs on ac count ot new combinations proposed. i some cases prices have been ad vanced so far as to check new business and in others works have been engag ed so far ahead that new orders can not now be taken. Yet new business in amount which would have been as tonishing two years ago is still coming forward, and the voluntary advance in wages Dy tne sixteen .Bessemer firms of the Central Association, and by the nc.k coke works whose shipments in April, ;?o,4;2 cars, were the heaviest ever known, show confidence in the future. At Buffalo and in Idaho strikes are causinir trouble, but lahor questions elsewhere do not affect gen eral uusiness. Try Allen's Foot-Ease A pow. der to be shaken into the shoes.

Many women suffer from untold ag ony and misery because the nature of their disease is not correctly under stood. They have been led to believe that womb trouble or female weakness of some sort is responsible for the many ills that beset woman-kind. Neuralgia, nervousness, headache, puffy or dark circles under the eyes, rheumatism a dragging pain or dull ache in the back, weakness or bearing down sensation, profuse or scanto sup ply of urine with strong odor, frequent desire to pass it with scalding or burn ing sensation, sediment in it after standing in a bottle or common glass for twenty four hours, are signs of kid ney and bladder trouble. The above symptoms are often attrib uted by the patient herself or by her physician to female weakness or womb trouble. Hence, so many fail to obtain relief, because they are treating, not the disease itself, but a reflection of the primary cause, which is kidney trouble. In fact, women as well as men are made miserable with kidney and blad der trouble and both need the same remedy. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root is the great discovery of the eminent kidney and bladder specialist, and it is easy to get at any drug store for fifty cents or one doliar. To prove its wonderful merits you may have a sample bottle and book telling all about it, both sent absolutely free by mail. Kindly mention The Columuian and send your address to 1R. 1VILMER L.O.
