take a little Carlsbad Sprndel Salt in
glass full of water. That will set
jou right and keep you right, if you're
iuclioed to be bilious or dyspeptic or
constipated.
People wonder, sometimes, why It
is that the Carlsbad treatment, the
world's remedy for habitual constipa
tion, should be recommended for (liar
rh(ea, and such disorders, too. Sim
ply, because it leads the stomach and
bowels naturally Into a healthy condi
tion, whatever their d erangcraents It
doesn't accomplish Its results by harm
ful irritation, as most pills and purga
tives do.

proved" or ""artificial" Carlsbad ' SaJt.

have originated wun me aimers' naiiunai
organization In a demand for an advance
In the price for bituminous coal that the
miners may receive an advance In pay and
an end be put to the great distress which
now prevails throughout the bituminous
mining districts. They advocate the adop
tion of a plan for one selling agency for
all the producers; that this ogency shall
have the power to make all contracts and
to name tho price at which coal shall be
sold; that it shall distribute the sales
among the producers along the lines of
the various railroads in proportion to
their average tonnage as shown for the
yours 18H2 and 1893. This would end the
destructive 'competition which has existed
In the trade for the last live years, it Is
said, and which has been particularly .e
vero during the lust eighteen months. It
Is declared that under this plan an ad
vance ran be secured of from 25 to GO cents
a ton and that a sliding scale can be sr-
ranged with the miners which will enable
them to participate in the results of the
advance, It is also declared that the pro
ducers und railroads) will largely increase
their net income.

portation of anthracite coal, M3,UM) to
sin ItiluiKO In passi-ngur receipts und the
ri'liiulnder to reduced merchandise re

penses were in great purt In the coul du
imi tment .The expenses cover, as hereto
fore, ull expenditures for repairs, and in
clude $1".I7,622 charged for reduction In
value of equipment and other property,
together with $l'l!S.07!l expended for reiiewul
of bridges, substitution of heavier rails
und other extraordinary oulluys, the re
quirements for which in the ensuing year
will bo very smull. President Maxwell
says: "Regarding the situation as u tem
porary one und due largely to general
trade conditions thi'otiKhout the country,
the board felt Justified 111 continuing
through the year the payment of the regu
lar 7 per cent, dividend." In WM the com
puny earned 4.DS per cent, on the stock
uguinst it. 7.' per cent. In ISM.
Here is another Philadelphia view of the
case, aslo advanced by "a prominent
operator:" "In my opinion there Is a
soml-orgunlzed effort to crush the Read
ing companies. The belief that a foreclos
ure, of the property can be made without
disintegrating tho system is by no means
unanimous; on tho contrary, there are
many who hold to the view that foreclos
ure of Reading will separate the rail
road company from the coal and Iron com
pany. Well, I think that this Is exuetly
what some people are aiming atto sep
arate tho two companies. They know
that the Reading cunnot continue going
backwards In Its earnings at tho present
rate forever; they know also that a reor
ganization under existing conditions
would simply mean a temporary delay In
bringing ubont another und final crash.
These Interests are, therefore, I believe,
simply biding thelr'tlme, preventing re
habilitation of the coal trade and pre
venting ulso a reorganization of Read
ing In the hope that foreclosure will result,
and with It come the disintegration of
the pow.-itul factor it is In the trade, as
Its most valuable coul properties us well
as some of its most Important branch
roads would full into rival hands. New
York has defeated both its reorganization
plans; In New York also exists the dis
turbing elements in the anthracite coal
trade, and I would not be surprised to
learn that these interests were one and
the same."
STOCKS AM) BONDS.
New York, March 4. Prices at the
Stock Exchange today were extremely
Irregular In their course. The develop
ments having a direct bearing on the
market were more Important than of
late and at the same time business
showed an increase, the sales amount
ing to 238,416 shares. The bulls were
favored by the adjournment of con
gress, which caused a demonstration of
Joy rarely witnessed at the Stock Ex
change, the Increase In the St. Paul
earnings for the fourth week of Febru
ary and late In the day by the official
denial of the rumors current abroad
about the flnnnclal condition of Louis
ville and Nashville. On the other hand
there was heavy selling by London, the
filing of the bill of foreclosure of Read
ing, the decision In the Rate Refrigera
tor company and the strength of ster
ling exchanges, which led to talk of a
technical premium on gold. Of the un
favorable factors enumerated, probably
the continued strength of sterling ex
change is the most Important. The
market Is practically bare of bills and
rertters are forced to depend on the
bankers of the bond syndicate for bills.
Stock market opened firm, but nt the
advance selling orders from London
were encountered and prices dropped
,i to 2 per cent. Speculation, after the
decline noted, ruled rather quiet until
the last hour, when thure was a sharp
turn for the better. Net chnnges In
stocks today show gains of to lVs per
cent.

TO our patrons:
Washburn-Crosby Co. wish to ussurc their many pat
rons that they will this veur hold to their usual custom
of milling STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop
is fully cured. New wheat is now upon the market, and
owing to the excessively dry weather inanv millers are
of the opinion that it is alrcadv cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Washhurn-Crosby Co. will take
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully three
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling has
placed Washburn-Crosby Co.'s flour far above other
brands.
