Many mother, startled in the night by

writes: "Whilc in the country, last
winter, my little boy, three years old, was
taken i'll with Group; it seemed as if he
would die from strangulation. Ayers
Cherry Pectoral was tried in small and
frequent doses, and, in less than half an
hour, the little patient was breathing
easily. The doctor said that the Pectoral
saved my darling's life." Mrs. Chas. B.

Sweet potato vine. sweet potato vine,

And yanked the poor grasshopper

ito yank," |. e., to jerk. Yankee, there

spry, smart, active. The same verb in
Dutch and German is "jagen."

Martinsyille, Va, the Scene Of Bloody
and Fatal Combat Between
Angry Citizens.
lMartinsville (va.) telegram ]

No greater tragedy has occurred in Vir-
ginia in decade than that which fills this
town with gloom and excitement. In q
fight on crowded street many shots were
fired, and as q result Jacob Terry, young
farmer, is dead, and the life blood of his
two brothers, j. X. Terry and Benjamin
Terry is fast ebbing away. Colonel P.-D.
Spencer, a prominent business man and
manufacturer; Tarlton Brown, proprietor
of Browns tobacco warehouse; b. l.. Jones,
a saloon keeper; r. l.. Gregory, hotel
clerk, and Sandy Martin, q negro, are all
dangerously wounded. All the parties are
prominent in the business life OF this place
and we'll known in Southern Virginia.
The affair was due to the posting Of an
anonymous circular seriously rejecting on
w. X. Terry, young business man, and
his father, the late William Terry, promi-
nent citizen. Yesterday morning Terry
telegraphed for his two brothers, ]. X. and
Benjamin, living at Aiken Station, twenty
miles away. They arrived at / p. m, and
after q brief consultation went to the print
ing Office and demanded the author of the
card. The printer told them it was Col. p.
d. Spencer, a member of the town.board,
and one of the leading business men.
Last evening, soon after the tobacco fac
tory had closed for the day and the streets
were filled with operatives returning from
their work, the Terry brothers started in the
direction of Spencer's factory. When about
half way they were met by Spencer, with
his brother and several friends. w. X.
Terry addressed few words to Spencer;
who told him not to shoot. just then
some one fred pistol and precipitated the
fight. Forty shots were fred. w. X.
Terry was shot from the rear, the ball en-
tering near his spine and lodging in his
right breast. Jacob Terry was shot through
the abdomen and fell dead. Benjamin
Terry was shot through the neck and in the
body. Spencer was shot in the hip, and
his business partner, Tarlton Brown, re-
ceived two balls in the groin. Gregory and
Martin we're hit by stray balls.
The Terrys are we'll known, and occupy
high social position. None of them is
married. All the business houses in Mar
tinsyille are closed o-day.

Scene on the Chicago Board Of Trade.

"But what is going on here?" the
visitor asks. Gathered in circles or
hurrying across the floor in all direc-
tions he beholds hundreds and hun
dreds of men eagerly intent upon the
pursuit of some individual yet common
object. The different groups are close
ly huddled together, like sheep in an
inclosure, and each man is shouting to
his associates at the top of his voice,
and accompanying his words with fran
tic gesticulations and flushed, excited
features. "Is this a veritable Bedlam
let loose p" tho visitor queries in
amazement, sand are all these men
crazy?" Very far from it. The cause
of this excitement and of the rapid
movements is the simple fact that
thousands of dollars are here changing
hands every minute. The incessant
click of hundred telegraph instru-
ments is conveying the knowledge OF
these hurried transactions to all parts
of the commercial world. The East
and the West, the North and the South
are alike interested in the information
thus impaired, while grave and solid
grain and provision merchants In Liver
pool, London, Antwerp, and Paris.
eagerly scan the reports of each days
doings. And thus the harnessed light
ming of two continents is kept busy
scattering abroad the facts and figures
produced in this apparently insane
hubbub. On either side of the hall,
and without the line of trading pits,
are rows of handicapped tables, on
which are deposited sample bags OF
grain, and around these cluster buyers
and exporters, examining the goods and
determining upon the price of exchange.
Market quotations from all the large
trade centers of America and Europe
are received during the trading hours,
and are at once posted on conveniently
arranged blackboards. The wheat pit
usually attracts the largest crowd, the
provision pit comes next, and the corn
and oat trade bring up the rear, except
in times of special activity, when this
regular order of things is liable to be
reversed. In the four corners of the
hall are small separate rooms for
special purposes, and on two sides are
galleries, from which astonished spec
tators look down with feelings of won
derment upon the turbulent and noisy
scene below. As q whole, the scene is
truly strange and significant one, and
the casual visitor usually turns away
from it with brain and heart tossed by
conflicting and unwonted emotions and
reflections. r. Bates, jn The Cur

A Story OF Daniel Drew.

Mr.. Drew was squeezed one famous
day by operators in Northwest stock,
and he la d down a big pile of money
in losses. Not unnaturally, Mr.. Drew
felt grieved, while other people were
correspondingly high-spirited and hap
py. 1t was great thing to catch the
wiley deacon mapping, and hundred
Jokes went the rounds in celebration of
his upsetting. Some of these bits of
humor fell upon Uncle Daniels own
ears, but he didn't seem to pay much
heed to comments that made all the
rest of Wall street laugh hilariously.
Some young men old enough to know
better even went so far as to accost
him personally and laugh in his face.
Behind the smile that lighted his face
it is barely possible that the recording
angel heard q grinding of teeth, but
the festive brokers did not hear any
such thing, and they went on their way
rejoicing for many days. One evening
big congregation of them were in an
uptown club when all unexpected in
marched Uncle Daniel Drew. He had
called only for moment, he was hunt
ing for n man he did not find. 1t was
not an excessively warm night, but
Uncle Daniel seemed to be much over
heated, and two or three times he drew
out his big white handkerchief and
bathed his face in it; and finally out of
his pocket with the handkerchief came
slip of white paper to float and circle
around till it settled at his feet on the
floor. Mr.. Drew didn't notice that he
had lost anything; the speculative gen
tlemen before him did. aud the foot OF
one enter prising broker was big
enough to cover the slip of paper over
as it lay there on the floor. Mr.. Drew
went out. The eager crowd gathered
up the white scrap, and this in the
Wall street kings own unmistakable
handwriting was what it said "Buy me
all the Oshkosh stock you can at any
price you can get it be ow par" Osh-
kosh was already pretty high. Every
body was agreeing that it was too high,
and that a tumble was inevitable, but
the handwriting of the millionaire
operator plainly exposed on that slip
of paper was sufficient to convince the
eager crowd in that club-room that
night that some new scheme must be
afioat to send il further skyward.
Right through the milestone they saw
it all, and then and there they made up
a pool to buy twenty or thirty thousand
shares the next day. They did, and
the man who sold it to them was
Daniel Drew. He blandly told them
all about it as they saw their money ali
going to pot c shkosh declined dozen
points day. Mr.. Drew's handker-
chief exercise had been carefully
planned.

from Hunt County Jail, of which Smith
was one, died Wednesday night. Scnti-

different parts of the city to give the
alarm as soon as Adair should die. One
hour after Adair's death an armed mob
was on the way to the Jail. No resistance
was offered, and Smith was taken some
distance from the city and hanged. The
lynchins was without incident, every thing
passing off in an orderly manner.
