A Blast At Psthies.
DOCTORS AND THEIR DoINGs sAGACIoUsI.Y
CRITICISED.

Doctors were invented to repair the dam
ages which man brings or commits on him
self. Sometimes the damages committed by
the doctor are as great as those he tries to
repair. But this makes little difference n
the amount Of the doctors bill for damages.
When doctor finds out any new thing
which will cure folks. and uses it, all the
other doctors turn to and abuse HIM for it,
Doctors go TO school many years learning
to prescribe for diseases. Druggists put up
the prescriptions. The public take the pre-
scriptions and put up both with the doctors
and the druggists. Some think 1t IS put
up job" between the doctors aud the drug
gists.
ABOUT once in 20 years the doctors rela-
bel all the Old complaints aud give them
new names. Thirty odd wears ago pneumo-
MIA wAs lung fever, and "sclatIca" piain
rheumatic" But complaint, with thss,
old ld-iisnioued EngllSh names are bad for the
doctors. People get too we'll acquainted with
them and then they learn to cure them
selves. When the doctor, find that out
they rccl,risteu the whole lot. This is done
by charging a gun full Of Greek and Latin
words and tring INTO the old complaints

FINANCIAL TROUBLES.
Suspension Of q Firm in the New York
Stock Exchange.

New YORK, Aug. IA.
George William Baliou & Co. have just
announced their suspension in the stock ex-
change. The firm states that the suspension
will be only temporary.
WALL STREET, P. NJ.
II is not believed that the suspension OF
BalIou & Co. will affect the market. as their
stock business.of late has not been much
extended 1t Is thought that Ballou Co.
had considerable money tied up in the Gin
cinnati & Toledo, the narrow gauge road
which recently went into the hands OF a re-
ceiver.
Oregon Trans Continental is being sold up
by room traders. $50 being bid by Willard
brokers: Texas Pacific in demand at 20: St.
Paul attacked bv John Slayback, who offers
stock at 9s4 and 9s4. Denver being bought
by Germans at so. Northern Pacific is said
to have been sustained by Boston house at
ga: Western Union weak at 75s.
The following stocks have been bought in
under the rule of the New York Central.
Oregon, Trans Continental, Denver. Rio
Grande and Missouri Pacific.
1t is believed that most of G. W Ballou's
engagements are on the bear side of the mar
ket. The firm is believed to have failed on
the Oregon Trans-Contintal. Ten thousand
shares of different stocks have been bought
and sold under rule. They do not understand
their exact position as yet. 1t Is understood
that a syndicate is being formed TO assist
them. Ii is also understood that the New
England customers of G. w. Ballou Co
were unable to respsnd TO calls for margins.
1t is reported that Gould has bought a con-
siderable quantity of Northern Pacific pre-
ferred, at private sale, and that he is expect
ed to acquire much more. Considerable
Jersey Central. Wabash preferred, and Lake
Shore were bought under the rule on account
of Ballou & Co.
Since the announcement of the failure of
Ballou Co., 4uieter feeling has prevailed
in stock circles, it being generally believed
the suspension will not necessarily lead to
any other failure.
IL is stated that Ballou & Co. turned bears
at about the loves: prices touched.
At the office of Ballou it is stated that they
have no statement to make. They expect to
resume business in short time. To
the present hour, deliveries are prompt and
money in good supply at per cent on ac-
ceptable collateral. The Shore marke. is
firm and less active.
The firm of Balou & Co. is composed of
Geo. VIA. Ballou. VIM. H. Brighton, board
member. David II. Darling, and Allen s.
Weeks. No definite particulars could be OBJ
tanned. The house did large and extensive
business, and its customers were principally
bank presidents throughout the country, Bos-
ton capitalists and New England estates.
Ballou has refused to make any statement
concerning the suspension other than that it
was caused by the failure of customers to re-
spOnG to calls for margins. Another member
of the firm said the trouble is merely tempOr
ary and everything will be Strengthened out
in few days.

THE PRESIDENTS PARTY
Enjoying Game, Fish and Delightful
Scenery.
CAMP STAGER on TERBY's LAKE.


w. r., Aug. II.
1t was determined last night to move the
camp this morning few miles to where
there would be more abundent grazing for
the horses and mules. Accordingly at 80
Monday morning every one was in saddle and
started upon the valley on the right hand of
Wind river. Owing to the rain the trail was
in splendid condition for comfort and march
ing, the sun obscured by clouds and with
temperature below 500.
At the end of an hours travel over the
hills and rolling land, Wind river was
reached where it passes through the gorgeous
masses of rocks known as the Blue Buttes.
The first crossing was made by fording in a
diagonal direction up the stream, where the
water was so rapid ones neighbor seemed to
be moving up river with the speed of run
ming horse. At the end of an hour the east
ern boundary of the Shoshone reservation
was reached. From this point travelling was
very interesting. but not so difficult and the
journey was over a series of lofty divides.
In descending ore of these il was necessary
to dismount and lead the horses On the
highest divide we halted to take in the beam
uful view covering scores of milss up and
down the river. After riding twelve miles
we reached the banks of some beautiful lakes
called after Capt. Terry, formerly an officer
of the army. but now owning large cattle
herds on range near by. The lakes are
said to abound in large trout and we expect
to spend tomorrow fishing. Game is not very
abundant, but our hunters brought in two
antelopes yesterday and few mountain
grouse killed today Our camp is named
Camp Stager in honor of Gen Arson Staper
of Chicago.
