This was the most active day OF the year in
the st ok ma ket, and after the first break the
market continued strong until the close and the
stocks of the active list tonight are almost
invariably higher. EARLY advices from the other
side we're not reassurn-s, and bears, with the aid
of London, Oh cago, Boston and Plila elphia,
were enabled to pnve prices down in the early
dealings, but cables soon brought better news
from Europe ami the scare was reported TO be-
over both in Paris and London, with a much
calmer feeling. Buying for long account then
began and sellers of the early hour turne buy
ers, which soon induced free covering OF shorts
an the upward movement which w8s inaugu-
rated lasted until the close. Boston, Phiadel-
pha Chicago and London were large purchas-
efS, and all the prominent stocks felt the Stimu-
lus, rising over point from lowest figures before
noon Reading aud st. Paul were conspicuous
for the pressure brought against them in the first
drive, and there were several large lots OF the
former sold which we're believed TO be for in
siders. but it was among the first to recover
when the reaction came The announcements
that the roads west Of the Missouri river had
perfected an agreement TO maintain rates, which
was stated as so strong that no road could long
remain out, was a marked factor In the late
trading, and the roads In that section became
prominent for strength. The news OF the day,
other than that from the other side. was not OF
special importance, and there was a marked
absence of the usual pessimistic advices from
Chicago. After noon comparative dullness
overspread the list. but prices slowly advanced
without any special feature until the close,
which was active and strong at best prices.

Bark Diamant (Nor), Norrkjobing.
Daily Republican., 1889-06-21

The directors of the Street and Sewer
Department will this afternoon complete
fouutaia at Fourth and Franklin
streets, which will be supplied by per-
petual flow of fresh cold water from q
never-failing spring on Filth street near
Broome, years ago called the Norris
Spring. There ara many who recollect
the old stone spring house which stood
at that place not longer back than 20
years ago where this spring was located.
The water has been flowing in an irregu-
lar course for good many years, but in
order that 1t may be utilized for man
and beast, the directors of the Street and
Sewer Department have made the present
arrangement. Tie water is brought from
the spring down Fifth to Franklin and
alorg franklin to Fourth, little less
than two squares.
The foundation was made by Peter
Tyre, from his granite quarries on She'll
pot Creek. 1t will be a wonderful con-
yenience to the people of the neigbbor-
hood of Fourth aud Franklin, and will
supply them with cold fresh water for
both culinary and drinking purposes
There are quite number OF springs In
the city that could be utilized in the
same manner. There is one at Beach
and Franklin street; one near Chestnut
and Rodney, back of Philip Plunkett's
residence; one at Seventh and Monroe;
the Rodney Spring at Cool Spring Reser-
voir; one at Clayton street and Gilpin
avenue; ore near 18th and Uni n; one or
two out In Biowntown, and others In diff
ferent parts of the city.

Der Il, l-sS, Richard D. Allen, an aged
farmer living five miles southwest ol
Washington, Ind, wss found tied to a
tree near his house with his throat cut
from ear to ear. The death was thougat
to be case of suicide, and no inquiry
was made. A few days ago. while labor
ing under religious excitement, Mrs.
Charlotte Allen, the 70-year widow OF
the dead man, confessed to two colored
servants that she committed the crime
She said that she and her husband had
trouble as to who was the rlehtiul owner
of the farm, and in order to settle the
dispute she gave her husband morphine
in his tea. Allen fell asleep in the
garden. She then procured table
knife and rope and tied the rop around
the body, aud making several slashes mt
his throat half severed the head from til .
neck. She then dragged the body to a
tree and tied 1t there.

By the most trivial causes, weak nerves
are easily susceptible of invlgoratlon, a
term which also imports, in this instance,
quietude. The nervous have but to use
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters systemati-
cally to overcome that super-sensitiye-
ness of the human sensorium, which is
subverslye of all bodily comfort and men
tai tranquility, and which reacts most
hurtfully upon the system. The difficult
ty underlying this, as well as many other
ailments, is imperfect assimilation, no
less than incomplete digestion OF the
iood. In the discharge Of both tho d.
gestive and assImilative functions, the
Bitters are the most potent, the most re-
liable auxiliary. AS the body regains
vigor and regularity by Its aid, the brain
and nervous system are also benefited.
Persona subject to the influence of ma.
lsria, dyspepiic and rheumatic invallds,
and persons whose kidneys are inactive,
should also use the Bitters.

struction oil wheat by a strange insect are
increasing. They come chiefly from the

spread 10 Northera Indiana, and the sec
reiary of the State Board OF Agriculture
regards the reports as alarming. The In
sect is what Is known among agriculture
lists as the green midRe, another species
midge has not been seen by farmers since
1865, when it most entirely destroyed
the wheat crops OF this and neighboring
States. Millions of them appear in a
field, settling upon the stalk, from which
they draw the sap causing the grain to
shiivel before it is matured.
