Contrary to the general opinion, more people go mad during the summer months than in the usually gloomy and dull months of November, December and January, when times are bad and the general conditions appear more con- ducive to insanity. Not only in this country, but also in many others, it is found more people go mad during May, June and July than during any other portion of the year, and that suicide which is due to some form of insanity is also. more prevalent during the summer. ;., ' - - Piso's Cure for Consumption has been a family medicine with us since 1865 J.

There is an old adage to the effect that it is never too late to mend, and that seems to apply to the bicycle,. or, rather, to the people who ride it. s A Peoria (111.) man learned to ride at "the age of 61 years and now is 72. During these 11 years he has ridden 60,000 miles, and is still going. To com- memorate his career as a cyclist he has erected a monument over the spot where be is to be buried, and on the shaft the figure of a bicycle is carved.

' ' i" w HEN writing to advertisers please mentiou this paper, President Sonde All the Correspondence . w - . to Senate. Washington, Feb. 6. In compliance with a resolution of inquiry, the presi- dent'has sent to the senate a copy of the report and all accompanying papers of Brigadier-Gener- J. C. Bates, in relation to the negotiation of a treaty of agreement made by him " with the sultan of Sulu, last August. In reply ing to the request the president says: "The payments of money required by the agreement will be made from the revenues of the Philippine islands, un less congress shall direct otherwise. Such payments are not for specific ser vices, but are a part of the considera tion going to the sultan, tribe or nation under' the agreement, and they are stipulated as subject to the action of congress, in conformity with the prac- tice of this government from the earliest times in its agreements with the vari ous Indian nations operating and gov erning portions of territory subject to the sovereignty of the United States.! General Otis in transmitting the treaty, August 27, says: .; "The attitude of these people has been a subject of apprehension for sev eral months, and by this agreement, believe, the apprehended pending dif ferences are happily adjusted." Secretary Boot, in a reply dated October 27, tells General Otis that the agreemnet .is confirmed and ap- proved by the president, subject to the action of congress, and with the under standing and reservation, which should be distinctly communicated to the sul tan of Sulu, that this agreement is not to be deemed in any way to authorize or give consent of the United States to the existence of slavery in the Sulu archipelago. 'At the same time-whe- yon communicate to the sultan the above mentioned understanding, the president desires that you should make inquiry, as to the number ; of persons held in slavery in the archipelago, and what arrangement it may be practicable for their emancipation." In his instructions to General Bates, under this direction, General Otis says: "It is believed that the market price of slaves in the archipelago is insigm Scant, ranging from $30 to $90, Mexi can, and that in some Instances own- ers will be pleased to grant freedom to their slaves if they can escape the burden of supporting them. , General Otis continues to the effect that the character of the domestic slav ery existing in the archipelago differs greatly from the former slavery institu tion of the United States, the slaves becoming members of the owner's family. . .. . v J . .. General Bates, in his report, stated that when he first asked to see the sul tan, the latter sent his greetings, say- ing he could not come to the general, be cause he had boils on his neck, and could not put on his coat, but that he would recognize the protection of the United States, requesting as a favor that he might hoist his own flag alongside that of the" United States. .The sultan's brother went to Jolo to meet General Bates, and the sultan afterwards joined him. ; General Bates states in this con nection that the Sulus are very jealous of their institution of slavery.,-;-- - In his original instructions to Gen eral Bates, General Otis instructed him to push to the front the question of sov- - ereigntyfand told him be eonld promise for the United States not to interfere with,' but to protect, the Moros in the free exercise of their religion and cus- toms, sooial and domestic, and to re spect the rights and dignities of the sultan. - In return they must ' acknow- ledge the sovereignty of the United States. ". He also instructed General Bates that it 'was important that the United States should ocoupy the prin- cipal distribution centers of trade, and that .Siassi, the. capital, should be occu- pied by our troops at no distant day.

' Prove an Exception to Dullness Shown in Other lines. Bradstreet's revievrsays: ' Exceptions to the quiet and even dullness shown by the many lines of trade and speculation are found in the acte demand . for woolen goods ' for next fall's delivery, and in the active call for dry goods on spring account. In the latter direction, prices show special strength, and the bulk of the business placed in woolens has been at an advance of 25 to 40 per cent. In other lines, notable steadiness is shown ia prices. Weather conditions through out the country part Of the week, have been against trade in seasonable goods, apd there is very general complaint of large stocks of winter goods in the hands of this branch of trade. Another effect of the usually mild, weather is that shown in the Northwestern lum ber business. The lack of snow will probably insure a reduction on the cut of last year.and this, combined - with smaller stocks, points to at least t maintenance of present lumber quota- tions..;.; . ;.: - Woolen manufacturers have consti- tuted an exception to the general quiet. They opened their order books this week, and an unusually heavy volume of business is reported to have been re corded. Cotton goods are reported in good demand in nearly all markets, and the confidence as to spring business in dry goods-an- clothing is .a notable feature, m gTJtfp contrast, in lact.witn the rejwrts received from retailers as to the prssent season's business in winter- wear goods. Scarcity of water is com-plain- of as limiting the output of New England cotton mills, which are reported as backward in deliveries.

"The nsual "way of doing this is at a meeting of the directors. After the olaim is audited, the warrant should be signed as a part of the transactions of " the- - meeting, and the clerk should then deliver the , same to the party to whom it is due.

is also. more prevalent during thesummer. ;., ' -- Piso's Cure for Consumption has been afamily medicine with us since 1865 J. R.Madison, 2409 42d Ave..' Chicago, Ills.

President Sonde All the Correspondence. w - . to Senate.
Washington, Feb. 6. In compliancewith a resolution of inquiry, the presi-dent'has sent to the senate a copy ofthe report and all accompanying papersof Brigadier-Gener- J. C. Bates, inrelation to the negotiation of a treatyof agreement made by him
" with thesultan of Sulu, last August. In replying to the request the president says:
"The payments of money required bythe agreement will be made from therevenues of the Philippine islands, unless congress shall direct otherwise.Such payments are not for specific services, but are a part of the consideration going to the sultan, tribe or nationunder' the agreement, and they arestipulated as subject to the action ofcongress, in conformity with the prac-tice of this government from the earliesttimes in its agreements with the various Indian nations operating and governing portions of territory subject tothe sovereignty of the United States.!
General Otis in transmitting thetreaty, August 27, says: .;
"The attitude of these people hasbeen a subject of apprehension for several months, and by this agreement,believe, the apprehended pending differences are happily adjusted."
Secretary Boot, in a reply datedOctober 27, tells General Otis that
the agreemnet .is confirmed and ap-proved by the president, subject to theaction of congress, and with the understanding and reservation, which shouldbe distinctly communicated to the sultan of Sulu, that this agreement is notto be deemed in any way to authorizeor give consent of the United States tothe existence of slavery in the Suluarchipelago. 'At the same time-whe-yon communicate to the sultan theabove mentioned understanding, thepresident desires that you should makeinquiry, as to the number ; of personsheld in slavery in the archipelago, andwhat arrangement it may be practicablefor their emancipation."
In his instructions to General Bates,under this direction, General Otis says:"It is believed that the market price
of slaves in the archipelago is insigmScant, ranging from $30 to $90, Mexican, and that in some Instances own-ers will be pleased to grant freedom totheir slaves if they can escape theburden of supporting them. ,
General Otis continues to the effectthat the character of the domestic slavery existing in the archipelago differsgreatly from the former slavery institution of the United States, the slavesbecoming members of the owner'sfamily. . .. . v J . ..
General Bates, in his report, statedthat when he first asked to see the sultan, the latter sent his greetings, say-ing he could not come to the general, because he had boils on his neck, and couldnot put on his coat, but that he wouldrecognize the protection of the UnitedStates, requesting as a favor that hemight hoist his own flag alongside thatof the" United States. .The sultan'sbrother went to Jolo to meet GeneralBates, and the sultan afterwards joinedhim. ; General Bates states in this connection that the Sulus are very jealousof their institution of slavery.,-;-- -
In his original instructions to General Bates, General Otis instructed himto push to the front the question of sov- -ereigntyfand told him be eonld promisefor the United States not to interferewith,' but to protect, the Moros in thefree exercise of their religion and cus-toms, sooial and domestic, and to respect the rights and dignities of thesultan. - In return they must ' acknow-ledge the sovereignty of the UnitedStates. ". He also instructed GeneralBates that it 'was important that theUnited States should ocoupy the prin-cipal distribution centers of trade, andthat .Siassi, the. capital, should be occu-pied by our troops at no distant day.

Prove an Exception to Dullness Shownin Other lines.
Bradstreet's revievrsays:'
Exceptions to the quiet and evendullness shown by the many lines oftrade and speculation are found in theacte demand . for woolen goods ' fornext fall's delivery, and in the activecall for dry goods on spring account.In the latter direction, prices showspecial strength, and the bulk of thebusiness placed in woolens has been atan advance of 25 to 40 per cent. Inother lines, notable steadiness is shownia prices. Weather conditions throughout the country part Of the week, havebeen against trade in seasonable goods,apd there is very general complaint oflarge stocks of winter goods in thehands of this branch of trade. Anothereffect of the usually mild, weather isthat shown in the Northwestern lumber business. The lack of snow willprobably insure a reduction on the cutof last year.and this, combined - withsmaller stocks, points to at least tmaintenance of present lumber quota-tions..;.; . ;.: -
Woolen manufacturers have consti-tuted an exception to the general quiet.They opened their order books thisweek, and an unusually heavy volumeof business is reported to have been recorded. Cotton goods are reported ingood demand in nearly all markets,and the confidence as to spring businessin dry goods-an- clothing is .a notablefeature, m gTJtfp contrast, in lact.witnthe rejwrts received from retailers as tothe prssent season's business in winter-wear goods. Scarcity of water is com-plain-
of as limiting the output ofNew England cotton mills, which arereported as backward in deliveries.

The state superintendent has deliv-ered an opinion to the effect that schooldistrict warrants should not be issued bythe clerk or signed by the directors un-til they have first - been , audited andallowed; nor should the warrants bedelivered by the clerk until he has pro-cured the signatures of the directors."The nsual "way of doing this is at ameeting of the directors. After theolaim is audited, the warrant shouldbe signed as a part of the transactionsof " the- - meeting, and the clerk shouldthen deliver the , same to the party towhom it is due.
