PruSsla'S Finances.

BERLIN, Jan. 1.-THE Prussian diet
opened to-day. The royal speech made
no mention Of foreign military affairs.
1t declared that there was hope that the
progress of Crown Prince Frederick vii.
liam toward recovery would be nam
tanned. The condition of the finances of
the empire are favorable beyond expecta-
ton. Bills will be submitted to the diet
to provide for the improvement of the
condition of the clergy of any denomina-
ton and for the abolition of the widows
and orphans fund, which the civil Off
Gals have hitherto paid. The state will
partially assume the payment of the sal
aries of the teachers in communal schools
and will contribute to the construction of
important railway lines. 1t will also assist
in the development of all interests of the
country to which it is proper to devote
the resources of the state. The success
of the reform in taxation which became
possible in 1887 i~ustiies the hope that
unless unforeseen events intervene the
restoration and maintenance of an equI-
librium between the revenue and ex-
pensos in the coming year will be more
easily effected.

Breaking Up.

MINNEAPoLIs, Jan. I4.-Thc storms
back is broken and the railroads have
gone to work to burrow their way through
the hard packed drifts. The snow is as
hard and heavy as sane and battles the
snow plows. The only train in ct the
union depot Yesterday was the Wisconsin
Central. Two eastbound Northern Pa
cifc trains came IN this morning, eighty
and fifty hours late. One of them has
been showed in fifty miles west Of here
Tor seventy-two hours.
The Manitoba road this morning started
out two northwestern trains with two en-
gines and a snow plow to each train.
Trains from Chicago are expected in to-
night on all roads, but it will take from
two to five engines for each train.
The Duluth road is open, but the
Omaha's line to Sioux City is badly
plugged up. The Northern Pacific has
had IN excellent opportunity to test the
rotary snow blows, with entire success.
Over 200 miles of track in Dakota, with
snow averaging fifteen feet deep, has been
cleared by enc pillow in sixteen hours.
This is an unparalleled achievement.
Dispatches from points west of this
city indicate that the loss of life during
the late blizzard will be heavy. At least
a dozen deaths from freezing have been
already reported.

Excitement IN Oil.

PTrTsBURG, Jan. IA decline Of
nearly five cents in the price of petroleum
this morning almost created a panic at
the oil exchange. The market opened
firm at 933, and in a few minutes ad-
vanced to "a. Heavy selling then was
inaugurated at Oil City, and the bears
started a raid at all points. Prices began
to drop at once amid great excitement,
and large blocks of certificates were
offered for sale, but there were few buy
ers. The market continued on its down
ward course until 80 was reached, when a
reaction set in, and with good buying
values recovered to 90 at 2 o'clock.
The market quoted down in the after
noon and there was very little trading and
prices closed steady at 924. 1t is said
that Pittsburg suffered more than any
other oil center by the sudden drop in
prices. Tw~enty-tour hours ago at least
4,000,0 900 barrels of oil were held by
Pittsburg parties. A large proportion Of
this oil was purchased in midwinter. 1t
is claimed that fully 200, 900 barrels were
dumped here yesterday afternoon and
this morning at prices ranging from 90
down to SO. The losses were heavy, but
there were no failures and it is confidently
expected that all will go through clearing
house on Monday.

The skill of these people in tree culture
Is even more surprising than that shown
in Horticulture. The latter is not so novel
to the average American. He has seen
at home the little wild rose worked up
into the huge and perfect jacqueminot.
He has enjoyed the delicious odor of the
ros peony transformed from the rank
smelling, old fashioned plant, and is
ready to comprehend any monstrous
metamorphosis among flowers. But
when he sees here an old pine tree with
gnarled and bent branches, its whole APP
pearance the exact counterpart of the
ancient monarch of the mountain side
when he sees this old looking, perfectly
healthy and thrifty fir, 100, 200, and
even 800 and 400 years old, growing in
a flower pot four feet long, two feet wide
and not w feet deep, he hardly knows
whether he be most interested in the
skill evinced or amused by the grotesdue-
ness of the idea which suggested the
thing. Such a tree as this 1 have seen.
Its whole height was not five feet, and
its gnarled branches did not cover an
area of eight feet. 1 asked its age, and
was answered 450 years. Near by were
dozens of smaller ones in pottery vases,
perfect in form-some round and bright
as the denlzens of the rich bottom land.
Others, queer looking, odd old iliputians,
that made one think he was viewing an
old ancestor of centuries ago hanging
from a rocky crag; that he was looking
at it through the reversed lenses of a
powerful field glass. 1 ask: "How old
is that"

two years ago."

And this other here that looks as if

folded his hands and looked as if he felt
that the spirit of his ancestor, now one of
his household gods, heard his pious
words. Carter Harrison in Chicago

Wretched men and women long con
demned to suffer the tortures of dyspep-
STA, are filled with new hope after a few
doses of Hostctter's Stomach Bittcrs.
This budding hope blossoms into the
f%ruition O. certainly, if the Bitters is per
sisted in. 1t brings a reprieve to all dys
peptics who seeks its aid. H~,tulencc,
heartburn, sinking at the pit of the stom-
ach between meals, the nervous trcmors
and insomnia Of which chronic indigcs
ton is the parent, disappear with their
hateful progenitor. Most benefccnt ofstom
achics! who can wonder hat in so many
instances it awakens grateful elouuenoe in
those who, benefited by it, speak voIun
tarily in its behalf. 1t requires a graphic
pen to describe the tormcnts of dyspepsia.
but in many of the testimonials received
by the proprietors of the Bitters, these
are portrayed with vivid truthfulncss.
Constipation, billiousness, muscular debil-
ity. malarial fevers and rheumatism are
relieved by it.

DIR. Prudden can teach a vast deal
about bacteria in a very brief time. Bac-
terra are minute vegetable organisms,
some of which have been found to &c
company and produce certain common
diseases. Under favorable conditions of
nutriment and temperature they multiply
with almost inconceivable rapidity, by
the slight enlargement of the Individual
bacteria and their division across the
middle into two. These again speedily
mature and divide. 1t is estimated that
under encouraging conditions a single
bacterium car produce more than TO-
600, Doc counterparts in twenty-four
hoursl
These bacilla, DR.. Prudden says, con-
form in their shapes to three general
types, which may be designated the glob-
ular, the corkscrew and the lead pencil,
instead of bestowing complex technical
names upon them. 1t is only the living
bacteria that produce disease. A high
degree Of heat kills them, but they are
capable of resisting a considerable siege
of cold. By far the larger number of
bacteria are harmless, SO far as is yet
known; but it is now a clearly established
fact that others, which can live In water
as well as elsewhere, can and do produce
deadly diseases and promote epidemics,
and these flourish best In water that is
polluted by sewage. DR.. Prudden has
frozen the typhoid fever bacilli for 1903
days, and found that a formidable per-
centage of them survived the ordeal

Stocks and Cattle Markets

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE stock mar
ket showed no change in Its character to-
day, being extremely dull. and though the
prevailing temper was bullish, the dispo-
sition was to await the developments of
e week. At the same time the general
expectation of a favorable bond statement
induced some buying in the last hour,
which gave a more animated appearance
to the market. for the time being and
moved prices up small fractions.
Governments dull and firm.

Coppcr-Markct weak. Lake, $IGb.
This was another day of wild excite
ment on the petroleum exchange and for a
short time after the opening brokers were
on the verge of a panic. So uncertain
was the feeling that as soou rs it was per
ccived that none of the urge interests
had any buying orders. traders all began
selling, and a drop of 81 was recorded in
the first fifteen minutes. This was fol-
lowed by Il very sharp rally. in which the
price crossed %, but frightened holders
still continued to sell, and the close was
weak at 9ls. The sales for the two hours

Heavy Losses.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. I4.-The fire last
night was right In the heart of the
wholesale section Of the city, and the
stores destroyed were all among the
largest on the street. 1t is the season of
the year, too, when the huge buildings
are packed from cellar to garrett with
goods. The spring stock Of goods had
just been slowed away, and thousands of
dollars that had left the safes of mer-
chants only a few days ago vent up in
flames. The individual losses will foot
about $950,000. Among the largest
losers are George w. Stout, wholesale
groceries, $50, 900; d. p. Erwin & Co.,
wholesale dry goods, $500, 900; Pearson
u Wetzel, Wholesale ~queensware, Sl75,-
ners, $55, 900; Mckee & Braham, boots
a~ndshoes, $4,000; the Berkshire Fine
Insurance company, Sos. 900. The losses
are nearly all covered by insurance.

Stock All Right.

DENVER, Jan. I4.-The weather here
continues clear and cold, with no snow.
The thermometer this morning registered
26o below zero. Tonight l. is % below.
As yet stock has not suffered to any ex-
tent and if, as anticipated, the cold spell
will be gone in day or two the loss will
not be greater than usual. Railway travel
has not been greatly interfered with.
Mountain trains are on time; Burlington
trains are reported on time, aud Missouri
Pacific into Pueblo are but q few hours
late. The Santa Fe and Union Pacific are
not 80 fortunate, but are reported from
twelve to eighteen hours behind.

The Cattle Market.

Special Dispatch to THE LEADER.
CHICAGO, Jan. l4.-With daily cattle
receipts running well up towards 1900
head it cannot be expected that the mar
ket should display much strength, nor
does it. Trade has been slow and unsat-
isfactory throughout. Receipts were
never larger at this stage of the season
and advices from the East are uniformly
unfayorable. The remarkable scarcity of
choice fat steers checks any serious de-
cline in such stock, but for anything grad
ing below good-and the largest part of
the offerings grade that way-the market
is anywhere from l5G925c lower than at
the close of last week. Neither the
dressed beef men nor the shippers of live
cattle, even at that low level, manifest
much interest in the deal and each night
has found a considerable number of cattle
still in salesmen's hands.
As noted above, the fact is offerings ex-
coed all legitimate demand. Buyers here
are as much at sea as anyone and their
be kept down to about 1000 head per
day, an immediate and decided improve
ment in prices might safely be counted.
A leading dealer observed to-day that
in his opinion 40, 900 head of cattle per
week could be used at 20(935c. advance
on present prices, and predicted that
supplies would soon fall below that figure,
as outside reports all agree that the num-
Der of cattle to be marketed this year is
1920 per cent below last years ship
ments. Hence brokers aye recommend
ing the feeding of high priced corn to
stock that will fat, and believe that men
coming to market with well matured
cattle will have no cause to complain.
There are more good cattle coming for
ward now han recently, but the average
quality is still way below what we have
reason to expect at this time of the year.
There are scattered sales at 81. 1905. 90,
but prices below 81. 80 take the bulk of
the offerings. Pretty good stock can be
had at SO. 50(64. %.
Fat COWS and beeves met with a contin-
ued brisk demand and the latter advance
is well held. Both Gamers and butchers
are generous buyers and everything use
Jul sells readily. Scalawag stock, how
ever, has dropped down to low figures,
being now scarcely a notch above the low
est prices of the season and hard to sell
at that. Scattered lots of belated cattle
from Wyoming, Dakota and Texas are
coming in, but are selling at very irregu-
llr rates The quality is generally pretty
poor.
Stockers and feeders are dull, with a
tendency towards weakness, although
choice feeding steers sell at about steady
ratios
