Business Conditions Brighter.
In no receot week have the developments pointing to improved business
conditions been more marked than in
the week just closed. Not only was
there an increase In the volume °f business, but wages, wer-e. increased and
the prices, qE commodities advanced.
The gr.p,wth of confi,deuce. was noticeable and was unm,is.ta.kable. Such a
combination of Jjorces tbLatj go to naake
prosperity ha,s np,t been, s.eea this year,
and, they cannot hfi ig-'isored or disregarded.,
" *PU«\ w*its ot 6 cents a bushel in the
price of wheat is by far the most important development of the week, And
this advance was not caused by expectations that au.fi Qpop will bo short, but
Igacauge a preliminary inspection of the
whole fields indicates that there will
be no surplus product this year in the
world. There is evidence that the
crop all through Europe, will be short.
By some experts this shortage is estimated at 120,600,000 bushels as compared
with last year.
This advance of six cents in wheat
has been supplemented by a rise of li
cents in corn and one-eight of a cent in
cotton. Tho acreage planted to corn
indicates a crop of approximately 2,000,
000,000 bushels, if it escapes the blight-
ings windsjof a hot summer.
The prosperity of the fajmet* renders
certain the prosperity of all other producers,,
Some Future Statesmen.
Evidently they -will come from Wisconsin. The Review of Eeviewshashad
its eye on this fine -western state for
some time and finds that the students
of "Wisconsin university are perhaps the
leading debaters among the college boys
of this country. They do not discuss
frivolous matters either. This year the
two leading literary societies had a debating contest. They discussed a question congress itself has been unable to
decide. That was whether our present
national hanking system is the best for
the country or whether a great government banking system would not be better, the government algne having power
to issue bank notes and circulate them.
Iii that case there would be one great
national bank, with branches in the cities.
Tho boys ferreted out facte through
the ages that bore on the case. Their
fund of information would have made
many a congressman feel his ignorance.
The Review of Reviews says of this
manly and intellectually invigorating
work:
It seems to tis that the extent to -which our
college students carry their athletic contests
is chiefly an indication of their splendid vigor
and enthusiasm. The young men of the University of "Wisconsin show precisely that same
quality of unahated ardor in their long and
rigorous training for the annual debates. Last
year they discussed the question of national
ownership and operation of American railroads. In 1893 their debate was upon municipal, operation of lighting works and street
railways. In 1S92 they discussed the expediency of international bimetallism. In 1891 their
topic was the desirability of the prohibition
of foreign immigration for a definite period.
In 1890 they argued the question whether ol
not tho tariff laws of the United States should
be so modified as to put us upon a purely revenue basis by the year 1900. These annual debates have been going on in the University ol
Wisconsin for about 23 years. Probably the
majority of tho young men who have participated in them would testify that tho reading
and study which they undertook in connection with preparation for the debate of their
particular year wero the most valuable and
formative thing in their college education.

The Sucks Make  Over Sixty-six Miles an
Hour and Outfly the Geese.
Of all tho migratory birds the American wild pigeon and black duck are well
up toward the front as regard long and
rapid flight. The speed of the pigeons,
can only be estimated, while that of the
ducks can Tpe established by observation.
Sqnje years ago the writer and a scientific friend measured off on the shore of
a large western river aline exactly three
miles long, and each took a station at
opposite ends of the. line. The object
Was to note, by means of preconcerted
signals, the time a flock of wild ducks
took iu passing up or down the river,
near the stations.
During three hours on the morning
of a bright October day, observations
were noted of the times of passing the
stations of nine different flocks. Upon
comparing watches it was found that
the average time was 2 minutes and 42
seconds, thus showing the speed per
hour to be 66^ miles, or one mile in 64
seconds. As showing how uniform was
their flight, a difference was found of
only five seconds between the greatest
and the least intervals of time.
As numerous flocks of wild geese
were daily flying in the same neighborhood observations were also taken to test
their hourly speed. Two points twenty-
nine and one-third miles apart were selected, both of which were connected by
telegraph. We succeeded in identifying
four out of seven flocks which passed
over both places during tha Jour days
we wero on the wa^ch, The mean hourly speed was foiuid to be a fraction over
54 miles, The wild goose has been long
supposed to bo the swiftest of all water
fowl, but this experiment shows that he
is far behind the wild duok.—New
York World.
Curfew Bell Works Well.
Already several other cities havo
adopted the famous "curfew" ordinance
which has wrought such a revolution in
favor of law and order in Stillwater,
Minn. The terror and nuisance of cities large and small are the gangs of lawless boys that hang upon its streets in
the evening, throwing stones, fighting
and using foul aud blasphemous language in the ears of passersby. Not seldom they are thieves. They stone windows and destroy property. They grow
bolder by immunity from'punishment
and in a few years develop into gangs
ot "burglars, who do not stop at even
murder.
Stillwater had her share of these
young miscreants. The ordinance passed
by her city council to abolish declared
it unlawful for any boy or girl under 16
to he on the streets without parent or
guardian after 9 o'clock at night unless
sent on some-errand, and then it must
be a clear case, and the boy or girl
must go quickly and quietly about his
or her business. Penalties were duly
affixed for -violation of the ordinance.
To notify all concerned when the hour
for going indoors had arrived the city
fire bell rings "nine slow taps consecutively."
The measure worked like magic. It
has abolished the gangs of young desperadoes that formerly- made evening
hideous. Night hoodlums have vanished
from the streets of Stillwater.
Sleepless Nights.
Who but those who "have "had the unhappy experience can tell the horrors
or appreciate the unhappy experience
of people troubled with sleeplessness?
The damnable hatred of all the demons
in hell for mankind must surely be appeased by the consciousness of such hu-
mau suffering. The long, dreary, unhappy hours, who can describe them
and why is it necessaryV If you have
ever been troubled you know what they
are, and if you have been spared you
have no interest in the knowledge of
such suffering.
Mrs. A. Bateman, Romulus, Mich.,
after describing her suffering from
sleeplessness extending over a period
of eight years, receiving at times only
tout twelve hours" sleep in a week,
writes of Dr. Wheeler's Nerve Vitalizer as follows: "I began taking it in
common doses and the first nigh tl slept
eight hours end had a nap the next
day. Every night since I have slept
eight or ten hours. Oh, how thankful
I am for having had Dr. Wheeler's
Nerye Vitalizer brought to my notice
and for the benefit received from it.
Stop and think,eight years of sleeplessness and cured in a day, does it not
seem like a miracle?" This medicine
is equally as effective in curing nervous
prostration, spasms, fits, sleeplessness,
mental depression, exhausted vitality,
despondency, sexual and general debility. "For sale at G. P. Unterkircher's

- If the invention which a Texas man
has made does what he claims for it, it
will add as much again to the efficiency of locomotive engines. At present the
locomotive is driven by the forward
stroke of the piston rod. Then the rod
flies back again, and all the power of
this back stroke is lost To make the
force of the back stroke do its work in
driving the locomotive is the idea of the
Texas man, and he is sure enough of the
success of his idea to secure patents on
it. He connects what is technically called a bell crank lever With the driving
rod and also with the forward driving
wheel One arm of the lever is joined
to the rod, the other to the wheel
The forward stroke of the piston
rod sends the arm connected with the
driving wheel up, the back stroke brings
it down, and as it comes down it does
its part in driving the wheel onward.
The Texas man claims for Ms invention
also that it will tend to equalize the
force of the propelling steam, so that
there will not be the tremendous hammer blows of the wheels upon the rails
that now wear them out in a comparatively short time.
French is the language of diplomacy
the world over, yet it is said there is
only one person in the administration
circles at Washington who can speak it
with the members of the various diplomatic corps. That persou is Miss Morton, sister of the secretary of agriculture. This is a sufficient illustration of
the disgraceful ignorance - of even educated Americans in tho linguistic field.
