CHICAGO MILK PRICES.—It is reported 
that the Milk Shippers’ Association has 
i raised the price of milk for the six months 
beginning November 1, as follows: Novem- 
This beautiful new climbing rose was one of the first good 
things originated at the new Rural Grounds. It was distributed free 
to subscribers last year, thousands of letters were received imme¬ 
diately after it was sent out reporting the surprise and delight of the 
recipient at receiving such a fine plant in such excellent condition. 
Recently letters have been pouring in telling us of the wonderful 
growth the plants have made during the Summer. We never before 
sent out anything that was received with so much enthusiasm. 
Several of these letters have suggested that if we could secure a 
supply of the roses for this year to send to new subscribers who had 
no chance to get them last season, they would by showing the 
growing ones m their own yards be able to obtain many new sub¬ 
scriptions. We appreciate this interest on the part of our old friends, 
and acting on the suggestion, are growing several thousands of the 
roses for this purpose. Hence any new subscriber whose name you 
send this year will receive the rose free by asking for it. Or any old 
subscriber who neglected to apply last year, or who lost the rose by 
accident, may apply this year when remitting for his subscription. 
Of course, there is a limit to the supply, and to make sure of 
getting one, it will be best to apply early, but ample notice will be 
given if the supply promises to be exhausted. 
Club-Raisers 7 iU . find this a great inducement in ob- 
-■ taining new subscriptions. They must 
make the application when sending the order. Illustrated description 
of the rose will be sent on application. Here is a list of the prize¬ 
winners for last week : 
October 15. J. P. Stults, Ohio. Two yearlies; 15 trials. 
October 16. Mrs. M. R. Swartout, New York. One yearly. 
October 17. Ronson German, Michigan. Three yearlies; three trials. 
October 18. Harry Dedriek, Illinois. One yearly 
October 19. S. S. Thorniley, Ohio. Three yearlies; 14 trials. 
October 20. Mrs. O. D. Sheldon, Massachusetts. Two yearlies; one trial. 
With these inducements and the regular subscription season 
approaching, club-raisers will find big profits in a little work. 
Besides, if anyone subscribes for the paper and is not satisfied with 
it, he can have his money promptly returned by asking for it. What 
we want is to find the farmers who need a helpful, reliable farm 
paper - the RURAL NEW-YORKER, New York. 
ber and December, $1.15 per eight-gallon 
can; January and February, $1.10; March, 
95 cents; April, 90 cents. This will raise 
the price to the consumer from five to 
seven cents per quart for November. 
POTATOES.—There is a very good de¬ 
mand for prime eastern tubers. The mar¬ 
ket has been overloaded with inferior 
stock, which has sold slowly and kept the 
price down. Large holders of good pota¬ 
toes throughout the country are in no 
hurry to sell, believing that there must 
be a substantial increase in price before 
Spring. Sweets are selling slowly at a de¬ 
cline of 25 cents from the last figures 
quoted. 
WELL PEPPERED.—The Italians in this 
city are great hands for onions, peppers 
and other similar loud seasoning. In walk¬ 
ing four or five blocks along Mulberry 
Street, I counted 35 push carts loaded 
mainly with peppers, with a few tomatoes, 
onions and egg plants mixed in. Nearly 
all varieties of peppers, green and red, 
were shown, from the large bull-noses, sell¬ 
ing at three for a cent, to the little ones, 
not much larger than chestnuts. 
TOO INQUISITIVE.—A man in this city 
had his watch stolen. As it was a valuable 
one, he offered a large reward for Its re¬ 
turn, and “no questions asked.” A man 
called on him, and said that the watch 
could be delivered under certain conditions 
that would thoroughly protect him from 
any danger of being molested. The plan 
was agreed upon, and the watch returned. 
But the owner was not satisfied. He said 
“I promised not to ask any questions, but 
would like to know how whoever took this 
watch managed to get it without my 
knowing it.” The other man showed, or 
pretended to show, the trick, and, after a 
few words they separated. In a few min¬ 
utes the owner felt for his watch, but it 
was not there. During the talking the 
crook had done the trick again and got 
away with both the watch and the re 
ward. 
THE SQUIRREL INN was established a 
the corner of Grand Street and the Bow 
ery, this city, under the direction of Bishoj 
Potter, with the idea of furnishing a cheap 
clean and substantial meal, in a respect¬ 
able place, where a man might not b( 
afraid of being robbed and murdered be 
fore getting out. Anyone who has seer 
the saloon eatinghouses in this section o; 
the city, where rum, beer, vile food anc 
filthy talk are dished out together, wil 
agree that there is room for an enterprist 
like the Squirrel Inn. Lately some news¬ 
papers have published complaints that this 
place was not keeping up to the standard 
at which it was started, but an investiga¬ 
tion fails to show any reason for such re¬ 
marks. How about a dinner like this foi 
15 cents? Vegetable soup, roast beef 
mashed potatoes, stewed squash, three 
slices of bread, rice pudding, and a large 
glass of milk. The soup was not greasy, 
and did not have that restauranty taste; 
there was a fair-sized slice of good-flav¬ 
ored beef; and no one who knows what 
good milk is could complain of this. There 
were no hairs or specks in the food. 
Everything was good but the butter; but 
in restaurants that are called high-class, 
one often gets butter of the Samson 
brand, scarcely fit to grease an ox cart 
with, and what can be expected for 15 
cents. Those who growl about a restau- 
rant that has so many good qualities as 
this might be in better business, and it 
would seem as though a newspaper should 
investigate a little before publishing slur¬ 
ring letters from kickers who, quite pos- 
sibly were saloonkeepers whose business 
had been injured by this temperance house. 
NOTES ON SUNDRY PRODUCTS.—The 
total production of copper in this country 
for nine months of this year was 200,000 
tons, an increase of 9,000 tons over the same 
period last year. The present price per 
pound is 16% cents. There is considerable 
export trade, 1,200 tons being shipped Octo¬ 
ber 16 to French, German and English 
ports. . . . The total receipts of tin at 
this port since October 1 were 946 tons, and 
the tin on shipboard now, bound for At¬ 
lantic ports, aggregates 2,700 tons. Cash 
wholesale price is 28V a cents per pound. 
. . . Best quality of pig iron is worth 
$16.50 per ton; steel rods, $33, and old 
wrought-iron scrap, $14. . . . Lumber

of a medicine. Many «tonic” and 
w stimulant w preparations, which have 
no real medicinal value, seem to brace 
up the users when they are feeling 
"played out.” Any stimulant will do 
this whether bought at the liquor store 
or drug store. The true test of a med¬ 
icine is when life itself is staked on its 
remedial power. In hundreds of such 
cases Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis¬ 
covery has been the means of saving life 
when even the "family doctorhad 
pronounced sentence of death. 
" I had been a great sufferer for several years, 
and my family doctor said I would not be a liv¬ 
ing man in two vears, but, thank God, I am still 
living,” writes Mr. George W. Trustow, of Lips¬ 
comb, Augusta Co., Va. "Dr. Pierce’s Golden 
Medical Discovery is what saved my life. I had 
heart trouble so bad that I could not lie on my 
left side without a great deal of pain. I was 
nearly past work when I commenced your med¬ 
icine, but I can do about as much work now as 
any man. I cannot say too much for the benefit 
I have received.” 
Many diseases, named for the organs 
affected, as "heart disease,” "lung dis¬ 
ease,” "liver complaint,” etc., are per¬ 
fectly cured by Dr. Pierce’s Golden Med¬ 
ical Discovery, which cures through the 
stomach diseases which originate in the 
stomach.
