Several English life insurance COM
panies charge 20 per cent less to total
abstainers than to moderate drinkers.
The extraordinary peril to which a
beer drinker is subject is evinced in
the death of w. J. Flynn of Chicago,

published the following, "Men work

No other complaints are so insidious in their
attack as those affecting the throat and lungs:
none so trihed with by the majority of suffer
ers. The ordinary cough or cold resulting
perhaps from tritiing or unconscious eN-
posure is often but the beginning of fata
sickness. AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL has
well proven its efficacy in forty years fight
with throat and lung diseases, and should be
taken III all cases without delay.

The stock market opened lower to day on re-
ports that passenger rates between Chicago and
New York were being cut, and the decline in
prices ranged from to per cent. In a com
paratively short time there was a marked change
for the better, brought about by a renewal of
the upward movement in Union Pacific stock,
which was taken in large amounts for both local
and out of town account. Many operators being
now outspoken tsbullsn on the stock the price adj
vanced from 54s to 574. While the upward
movement of the stock has heretofore been
based on the improvements IN the company s
earnings, the immediate cause Of the rise to-day
was the announcement thatthe extension of the
Oregon Railway & Navigation Company road
was completed to Baker City, or within forty
miles of the junction with the Oregon Shert-line,
and also that negotiations were progressing in
included in the assets of the company. 1t is
claimed that if these negotiations were closed
the floating debt will be fquidated and the com
pany be placed ina position to resume diyi
dends. In the afternoon the market was lower
except for Union Pacific and Western Union,
which continued strong and in demand. After
