OIL REACTS.
The Market Braces Up and Receivers Lost
Ground-Ilima Not Feared.

The Market Braces Up and Receivers Lost
Ground-IIima Not Feared.
There was reaction in the oil market yes
terday, due to good buying and belief that
the crisis of the spring slump had been passed.
This feeling was not very pronounced at the
opening, but it gained strength as the day adj
vanced, and for an hour before the close it
dominated the market and was the keynote to
all the transactions. The opening price was
e4s4; the highest, $50; the lowest, S41 and the
close S5ss-almost the highest point reached.
The indications were favorable for strong and
active market this week. Trading in puts and
calls was based on this supposition.
Concerning Lima oil, broker said yesterday
afternoon: 81 cannot see that the report that it
is being successfully refined has made more
than passing effect upon this market Sup
pose they do refine it and make it equal to
Pennsylvania oil. The Standard will never
issue certificates on it and give them to us to
handle. They are too smart for that. They
will keep them in their own hands. This
leaves the condition of the market unchanged.
We have about II, 100000 barrels to work on,
and are reducing this at the rate of 500 600
month. If this is not bullish don't know
what IS. Looking at the situation from this
standpoint, l think oil should be at least 81 so
a barrel. So long as Lima oil is a distinct is
sue, and think it will never be anything else,
it cannot materially affect our market"

avenue and Wood street, Piltsburg shows the
order of ductuations.

After eating had sour taste, and q
sick, nauseating feeling. For breakfast I
had no appetite, but a very unpleasant taste
was in my mouth. I wasn't ever free from
dull headache acress my forehead over the
eyes. Ny sleep was not very sound. but, on
the contrary, unrestful and full of dreams, so
that usually in the mornings I felt quite tired.
"My father had been reading in the papers
about DR.. Blair and the many people he was
curing, and he took me to see him. Father
himself was troubled with catarrh just as was.
but he concluded to let me take treatment first,
just to see whether there was really anything
in DR.. Blair's treatment. Well, after months
treatment he found thatI was so improved that
he concluded also to begin treating. Now am
well and so is he and we are both more than
satisfied. My nostrils are clear and free; do
not hawk and spit; my headache is gone; I sleep
soundly; / have no more sour taste or sic1
stomach; I have good appetite and good di-
gest1on, and feel very well indeed"

The Final Curtain.

The act is drawing to an end;
The lights are growing DINNER;
Farewell to sad and joyous friends,
Life's glamour and its glimmer.
We've done our best to play Alright,
And wend path uncertain;
The stage is fading from our sight,
Ring down, ring down the curtainI
How joyous was the morning scene,
With all its songs and laughter;
Its smiles. perhaps tear between,
To sweeten gladness after.
There comes part that all must play,
'Tis read with eyes uncertain,
A new stage waits, we cannot stay;
Ring down, ring down the curtainl
So long we've stood beside the wings,
To do the part that called US.
The triumph that its acting brings
In thought has still enthralled US;
But now farewell the passing show,
The pageant, wild, uncertain,
Another way our feet must go;
Ring down, ring down the curtain
What matters it if rich or poor
Have trod the boards before us,
The grand, the meek, the prince, the boor
Must join Deaths final chorus;
One scene, one act, one cue, one call
Brings out the lines uncertain,
One muff1ed bell for one and all;
Ring down the final curtain

A NIGHTS REST In A BARN,
A Citizen Surprised to Find Himself in a
Hack in a Stable.

M1nneapous Journal.J
One of the funniest incidents of the
strike was the experience of belated trav-
eler on one of the first nights in which the
cars were laid of. He is wellknown man
and had wound up an evening down town
with a hand or so at the Nicollet
House. Coming out at a late hour
with perhaps little more than usual of
the good cheer of the establishment on
board, he flung himself into hack forget
ting to communicate his destination to the
driver and shortly fell fast asleep. It SO
happened that the driver did not notice his
customers advent, and after several hours
waiting for job drove home to his stable
in South Minneapolis and put up the rig
without discovering his still sleeping
patron.
Some time toward noon next day the pas
senger awoke, and being by that time
strictly sober, but without the faintest
recollection of the evenings doings, was
for long time unable to account for waking
up inside a hack in strange barn. When
he realized the situation he walked down
town-there were no cars-and found that
his family had been making frantic efforts
to discover his whereabouts, and had about
concluded that he was murdered or had
committed suicide.

STRONG AND ACTIVE.
Local Stocks Show That They Have Staying
Qualities Notable Advances.

Local Stocks Show That They Have Staying
Qualities-N Notable Advances.
The stock market yesterday was strong and
active all around, except for Philadelphia and
CHARTERS Cas- which were fractionally lower,
but closing fairly steady. The expected boom
in the former did not materialize, but its
friends thought it would be along this week.
This stock is being carefully managed. While
there are plenty of orders for it, they are being
placed very judiciously, SO as not to give it too
much of a boost all at once, which would al
most inevitably be followed by reaction. The
plan is to bring about gradual advance by
buying just enough to secure that result, and it
is being successfully worked. Electric re-
sumed its upward course, advancing 81 so a
share, and closing strong at the best figure
Wheeling Gas was another bright spot on the
market, being in good demand at 81. Citizens
Traction also moved up, selling all 70. Central
Traction was traded in to the extent of l50
shares, going at 2815, assessment paid. Switch
and Signal was strong and higher, 200 shares
changing hands at 25% and 2556 closing firm.
Mining shares were dull and unchanged. The
indications at the close were favorable for a
strong and active market this week. The deal
ings were confined to nine stocks, and the total
sales aggregated l,076 shares. Bids, offers and
sales were:

The Mountnin and the valley.


Here, Lord, upon this mount of grace,
Where we with wonder see
Thy glistening robes, Thy shining face,
How good it is to be!
Here, Lord, abide; and we will build
Three tents for Thee and Thine;
And glory, which the temple filed,
Shall ever round us shine.
As Thou transfgured didst appear,
Low at Thy feet we bowedd
Ard, with great and trembling fear,
We entered in the cloud.
But now Thy words our fear allay;
How well we know their tone;
o here we would forever stay,
To see Thee, Lord, alonel
But no, Thou wilt not here abide:
For soon, with eager feet,
Thou goest down the mountain side,
Thy service to complete.
Thy loved ones need delivering gracei
The suffering need Thy care;
And for lost and sinful race
Thou hast cross to bear.
Not longer then, will we here rest,
But Thy disciples be;
And from this mount with hearts refreshed,
We now will follow Thee.
o help US by Thy grace within
To bear The toll and heat;
Thy poor to serve, the lost to win,
And cen our cross to meet!
A higher mount we then shall climb,
Led thither by Thy grace
Where in its majesty sublime
Forever shines Thy face.
Not in the tents that we prepare
Can dwell that radiance bright,
But in that sunless city where
Thy glory is the light.

POEMS GRAVE AND GAY.
Gems of Verse From the Pens of Gifted
Newspaper Writer'S.

In the Afternoon.
I have thought Of the love that used to be;
have measured and weighed it from day to
day;
Ihave pOndered the smiles that she gave to
me
And conned DER the words that she used to
say.
At night have lain, as the hours ticked by,
And studied the question Ger and DER
Only to find, in the end, that
Treasure her love, though she loves no
more.
The rose must bloom alike for all;
For all must be caroled the robins tune.
Who would Is .nent, when the winters pail
Lies deep, that the roses have bloomed in
Junel
MY summer came and my summer went
AS summers must come and go for all
MY rose is lost and my head is bent.
What if it had not bloomed at allP
so sip the memory wondrous sweet
Ot my own dear love that has passed away;
As II she were true, with truth complete
True as she was in that distant day.

A Precious Letter.

Such perfect treasured
Up in the garnet gray,
Hid amid dust and cobwebs,
Many long years it lay.
A precious little missive
With odors faint and fine
OGmusk or mint or lavender
Which, could not divine.
But oh, so sweet a message
Loves hand had seldom wrought;
knew it Just the moment
My eyes It's covering caught.
And who could dream how priceless
Its lines could seem to me,
The very postmark proving
Its perfect pedigreel
tore it from its cover,
quick compared the date
Yes, yes. it was quite iawless
And from the very STATED
She who had penned the burden
Its tender lines conveyed
Was now gray-haired matron,
Was then blushing maidi
But why conceal the secret
The glad hope had gained2
Once more sharply scanned it,
Then laughed with joy unfeigned.
1t was indeed most precious
No shade my bliss could damp;
The list said fifty dollars
For that old postage stamp!

The Fire Burns Low.

The fire burns low; upon the crate
The dying fame with deathless hate
An hundred shafts of quiv'ring light,
Sends forth to stab its victor, Night
The while sit and mediate.
A myriad specters congregate
Around my hearthstone desolate,
And silent pass before my sight;
The fire burns low.
The long-expected guest is late;
With folded hands / sit and wait,
With measured beat Times tedious fight
The dismal death-watch tells, and white,
Weird, phantom arms gesticulate.
The fire burns low.

Onlya While.

Only little while to work,
And long, long time to rest;
Then drive the cloud from the aching brow,
The sigh from the troubled breast
Only while to watch and pray,
And long, long time to praise;
Our God, the Father, knoweth best
Then question not His ways
Only very little while,
AS short as the going down
Of the setting sun, to meekly bear
The cross and the thorny crown.
Only little while to SOW.
And long, long time to reap;
Let's SOW in faith with an open hand,
And tares from the good seed keep.
Only little while to lose,
And a long, long time to find
The jewels death has robbed us Of
The friends we will leave behindi
Only while to trim our lamps.
Ere the bridegroom passeth by;
Then NIL them well with the oil of life,
Let the flame rise pure and high.
Only little while-what matters it
If our life be short or long3
If we only sing a few short notes
Or the whole of the changing songf
Only while our barks must drift
To'ard the misty Isle of Tears.
Where the pirate, Time, has buried deep
Lost hopes OF the by-gone years.
Only while these barks are borne
On the swell of sorrows waves,
By the stranded joys of other days,
BY shore Of grassy graves.
Only while they'll struggle on.
mid the darkness and tile strife:
Then God will drop their anchor deep
In the quiet sea of-Life.
