Facts About Heart Disease,

Formerly, when the physician, with his
stethoScope, detected certain abnormal
sound called cardiac murmur, indicating
heart trouble, he said nothing about it to
the patient, or if he did reveal his discov-
cry he did so in such q way as to take
away natures most powerful restorative
hope. But q change in the methods of
physicians has been taking place in recent
years Says The Medical Record:
1.-The opinion is now rooted in the minds
of the advanced guard of the profession
that cardiac murmurs are often devoid Of
the grave significance formerly attributed
to them. So, too, we have come to learn
that considerable damage to the valves
may be so thoroughly compensated by
hypertrophy enlargement that it seems
permissible to speak of recovery from
organic disease of the heart.
True, the anatomical lesion persists.
But the individual thus affected may live
for years, without impairment of his
health, and with working capacity in no
way reduced from his normal standard.
The time has come when the prognosis of
despair must make way for the modern
doctrine of hope in the possibility of
cure. What was formerly equivalent to
a sentence of death may be committed to
carefulness for life"
Rheumatic fever or some other disease
may have caused inflammation Of the lin
ing membrane of the heart, and thus laid
a foundation for permanent obstruction
to the flow of the blood through one or
more of the valves. But nature in time
overcomes this obstruction. not by re-
moving it, but by enlarging the heart and
increasing it's force
True, there may be at length weaken
ing of the walls of the heart, and conse-
quent lessening of its ability to do its
work, and there may come on palpitation,
difficult breathing, cough and signs OF
dropsy; but this failure may be due to
preventable causes.-Youth's Companion.

MATRIMONIAL SENSATION.

UTICA, N. Y. July ia sensation was

son is beautiful woman, whose

Mr.. Croker took place on January 10 last
and that they have lived together without
causing comment. They had intended 60
ing to.the seashore some time and then an
nounce their marriage, but something had
Away occurred to prevent this. She in
tended to attend Crocker's funeral as his
widow. but was dissuaded from her pur-
purpose 1t is limited that there is another
lady who will claim the name of Mrs.

SCUllY SELLING OUT.

SPRINGFIELD, H., July 13-It is learned
that Landlord Scully is about to sell his
Illinois holdings. He owns 1000 acres in
Sangamon, $1,000 acres in Logan and
10000 in Mclean and other counties in
which he has for several years past carried
on the Irish rack renting system. Last
year two bills We're introduced in the
legislature looking to the exterpation of
Alien Scully and his system. The measures
passed after hard fight and were at once
approved by the governor. Under the
provisions of these acts alien land holders
were bound to dispose of their reality
within six years under forfeiture unless in
the mean time they became citizens of the
United States. Scully's American repre-
sentative is now preparing to sell all the
land owned by him IN Illinois. 1t COM
prises some of the richest farming land in
the state. Scully also has enormous tracts
of lands in Nebraska and Kansas where
the same system of rack renting is pur
sued

a MURDERER HANGED

ST. LOUIS. July 13.-George NJ Rider
was hanged at Marshall, Mo. today.
The crime for which he was executed
was for the killing of r. II. Talent, on
July Is, 1885. There were no witnesses to
the shooting but the testimony at the trial
was that the two men Were neighbors.
Tallient lived with his family and Rider
with a woman nameds Mary Moore, whom
he had married while his first wife was
still living and not divorced Rider some
times mistreated this woman and she had
appealed to Talent to defend her from his
cruelty and he had done so. On the morn
ing of the day of the murder, while Rider
was in Miami. the woman went to Tai
lent's house stating that she was afraid of
Rider and wanted TO leave him, and asked
Talent to take her across the Missouri
river. He did so, returning that night.
and was waylaid and shot by Rider from
behind tree. Rider had two trials and
his case was then taken up TO the supreme
court. where the decision of the lower court
was affirmed and he was sentenced to be
hanged today.

THE TRADE REVIEW.
Interior Points Reflect Hopeful Spirit
Business Generally Dull

NEW YORK, July 13-R. G. Dun & Co.
in their weekly review of trade. say:
Quiet hopefulness prevails. Business
now is dull. That it is going to be good,
more favorable crop prospects lead people
to hope. In financial markets there is
nowhere disturbances, though the I'M
precedented volume of loans at New York
raises questions that are not yet answered.
There is no present expansion or legitimate
trade to explain it and if important specu-
lations are preparing they are ali well con-
cealed The reports from interior
points reflect hopeful spirit, with
most frequent reference to improved crop
prospects. AS to cotton, there is some
contradiction, in the Mississippi valley.
too much rain is reported with consequent
excess of weeds. Corn and oats would
probably exceed any previous yield II the
weather should prove entirely favorable
from this time onward through harvest,
but the point Of greatest danger is not yet
passed. The hay crop at the east is ample
and the latest reports are more encourag
ing as to wheat; prices are &c higher than
a week ago for oats &c lower for corn and
1c for wheat In ali directions the influ
ence of more speculation upon values is
just now an unhealthy sign. Stock
nave advanced, Ghe more dCJlFe d'crdSiilS
about 81 per share higher than week ago
and yet the course of events would have
justified some decline. Cotton has ad-
vanced three sixteenths, and the move
ment seems to be taking the form of
corner on near deliveries. Hogs, eggs
and potatoes are higher. while coffee is &c
lower than last year.
The Industrial outlook is not entirely
cheering though the strike of iron work
ers seems likely to last but little longer.
Prices do not change, though common
grades are freely offered at low figures, An
advance in circular prices of coal is ex-
pected The cotton manufacturer still
holds prices well with advances in few
grades, but the outlook for wood Goes not
change The changing of carpet mills is
supposed to indicate oversupply.
Foreign exchange is weaker and the sup
ply of foreign capital coming higher,
though not increased. Money is abundant.
not only here but at every point reporting;
in almost every instance, also, collections
are now reported as satisfactory or i'm
proving.
The business failures during the past
seven days number for the United States
216, for Canada %, total $40, compared
with PA last week and IT'S for the CORE
spending week in 1887.
