satisfy these millions ss IL they were in
some sense divine being, and 10 con-
troll them without a standing army; not
only has he to resist permanent menace
of invasion from ths north and intermit-
tent threats OF invasion by the coast; not
only has he to control II huge civil ser
vice, the most corrupt in the world, and
the one in which tho great men are the
most powerful, but he has to remember
that he is Msn;cheou Emperor, and to
maintain the ascendency of his houae
and clan against millions upon millions

New YORK, Feb. l5.-The stock
market was more active and stronger to-
day and of the days trading is to leave
almost everything fractionally higher than
last evening, although outside OF graugers
there was little of feature in the list. A
sudden change came over the temper of
speculation toward noon, however, when
it was announced that the Burlington had
signed the agreement and there was a
rush to buy for both sides on account of
which the market soon recovered all the
losses of the forenoon and brought prices
up to higher figures. The improved feel.
ing extended to all portions of the Bsf.
although grangels aud Atchison, which
were bought freely by Boston, monopo-
LIKED the greater portion of the business
done. The first prices were generally
firm at slight advances, and the close was
active and strong at the best prices of the
day.

1t is a calamity of the darkest kind to
feel that ones physical energies are fail
ing in the prime of life-to feel more
nerveless, more dispirited. weaker every
day. Yet this is the unhappy lot Of hun
dreds that surround US. A source of re-
newed strength which science approves,
in behalf of which multitudes of the de-
bilitated have and are every day testify
ing, and which, in countless instances, has
built up constitutions sapped by weakness
and infirmity aud long unidentified by
other means, surely commends itself to all
who need a tonic. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is such a medicine-pure, botanic,
soothing to the nerves, promotiye of di-
g%estion and a fertilizer of the blood.
Dyspepsia and nervousness-the first a
cause, the second a consequence of lack
of stamina-depart when a course of
the Bitters is tried. All forms Of malarial
diseases, rheumatism, kidney and bladder
troubles, constipation and b~iliousness
are annihilated by this standard family
medicine.

A WELL founded rumor says that Presi-
dent Adams is making his arrangements
to retire from the head of the Union Pa
ciic after the annual meeting Of the
company next month, but it was learned
yesterday, according to.the Omaha Herald,
that Mr.. Adams retirement will lead to n
great many other changes, prominent
among which will be the undoing Of
many Of the numerous changes recently
made. General Manager Kimball, it is
said, has had nothing to do with these re-
cent changes but it is limited that the
changes that are to be made after the an
nual meeting will emanate directly from
him. There is good reason to believe
that a decided lack OF harmony exists in
the official circles OF the Union Pa
cifc and the internal dissentions have
had more to do with President Adams
determination to resign than anything
else.

VIEW PIPE 1--WE SCHEME.

1t is stated that an effort is now being
made in New York City to form a syndi-
cate for the construction of a pipe line
from the Wyoming oil fields in the Big
Horn country to a point near the North
ern Pacific railway, says the Helena
Mont Independent This IS a great
scheme and should it be successfully car.
ried ou would open up a new and highly
important enterprise. These pipe lines
are in existence all through the oil fields
of PENNSYLVANIA and Ohio and have been
built by the Standard Oil company. 1t
is SAID that this same company have an
eye on the Wyoming oil fields and are
largely interested in the projected branch
of the Union Pacific from Fort Fetter-
man in Wyoming to the Big Horn coun-
try known as the Midland route. 1t has
also been intimated that the Northern
Pacific railroad is interested in the or
ganization Of this pipe line syndicate, the
object being to shut out the Union Pacific
and its connections with the Billings,
Clark's Fork & Cooke City line, which
proposes to penetrate this oil region. 1t
is given out that this latter company has
settled all of its obligations and has
plenty of funds to its credit in the bank.
