have arrived there before nightfall
and be ready to begin its w ork to
morrow morning. By an error in
cident to the haste with which or

placed Lieutenant Cammander
Schroeder on the board as the
third member, while as a matter of
fact Lieut.Potter, the executive of

holds that place.
The board undoubtedly would
have started previously but for the
necessity of awaiting the arrival at

naval officer well skilled in matters

Capt. Sigsbee was heard from

On Hand Sept. 1, Next.
New Orleans, Feb. 18.—Mr. H.
M. Neill, the well known cotton
statistician, to-day issued a circu
lar as to the probability of consump
tion of American cotton for the
current season. After reviewing
the results of previous seasons
Mr. Neill says : In America the
southern mills are doing well and
will probably consume 100,000
bales more than last year. But
the reverse is the case with the
northern mills.
With these promises we may now
form a fair idea of the actual con
sumption of American cotton dur
ing the year ending the 1st of
September, 1898. Now as to sup
ply, European and American mill
stock Sept. 1, 1896, 400,000 ; visi
ble supply American Sept. 1, 1897
800,000 ; crop of 1897-98, 11,000,-
000 ; total supply of American for
the yearji2,200,000. From which,
deducting total consumption of all
countries 9,050,000, and you have

with it. It cur* » pimples, ulcers,

A BAD CASK CURED.
Three years ago I contracted a
blood poison. 1 applied to a
physician at once, and his treat
ment, came near killing me. I
employed an old physician and
then went to Kentucky. 1 thee
went to Hot Springs aud remained
two months. Nothing seemed te
cure me permanently, although
temporary relief was given me.
I returned home a ruined man
physically, with but little pros
pect of ever getting well. I was
persuaded to try Botanic Blood
Hal in LU U U ,
every ulcer.

BLIZZARD RAGING.
Milwaukee Seems l* be the Storm Centre—
Snow Drifts SO root High.
Milwaukee, Wis„ Feb. 20.—The
blizzard which started in yesterday
and of which Milwaukee is the
centre, still continues. Snow to
the depth of seven feet is piled up
all along the different lines of the
street railway. Railway trains on
all roads entering Milwaukee are
all the way from two to fifteen
hours late.
All the boats plying between here
and across the lake and northern
and southern points, are accounted
for. The captain of the steamer
Wisconsin, which arrived from
Grand Havre to-night, reports a
a very stiff gale blowing and the
snow so blinding that it is impossi
ble to see more than a foot ahead
Reports from neighboring towns
and from northern Michigan, are
to the effect that the storm now
raging is the worst of the season.
In Oshkosh such a blizzard has
not been seen in 25 years. Street
car service is everywhere crippled
and passenger trains are either
stalled or badly delayed.
Twelve Marinette fishermen are
missing and grave fears are eater-
tained for their safety. In some
places the snow drifted to a height
of twenty feet.
visible excess at Sept. 1 over last
year, 1,950,000.
While I have used the figures of
rr,000,000 bales in these calcula
tions it is quite manifest from the
movement that the crop will be
considerably more.

Not AI way* Cndontood.
A fact often overlooked, or not al
ways understood, is that woman suffer
as much from distressing kidney and
bladder troubles as the men. The
womb is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, and for that rea
son any distress, disease or inconve
nience manifested in the kidneya,
back, bladder or urinary passage ia of
ten, by mistake, attributed to female
weakness or womb trouble of some
sort.
The error is easily made and may be
as easily avoided by setting urine aside
for twenty-four hours; a sediment
or settling is evidence that your kid
neys and bladder need doctoring. If
you have pain or dull aching in the
back, pass water too frequently, or
scanty supply, with smarting or burn
ing,—these are also convincing proofs
of kidney trouble. If you have doctor
\d without benefit, try Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
The mild and the extraordinary effect
will surprise you. It stands thehigb-
estfor its wonderful cures. If you
take a medicine you should take the
best. At druggists fifty cents and one
dollar. You may have a sample bottle
and pamphlet, both sent free by mail.
