BOOMS COLLAPSE.
Local Securities Fairly Active, but at n
Lower Range of Prices.

There was a fair volume of trading in local
securities yesterday, but the bottom dropped
out of all the booms. This was DUE to the in
tervention of a holiday, brokers being averse to
rushing things, not knowing what may trans
pire before Monday.
There were concessions on nearly everything
on the active list. Philadelphia Gas opened
and closed at 8S1s bid, with the sale of block
of 100 shares at 32 Pleasant Valley lost ground,
selling at 251s and closing at 25 bid. The
fractions were weak, as usual. Manufacturers
Gas was offered at 20, and New York and Cleve-
land Gas Coal at 49, Allie gheny Heating Com
pany was about the only thing that finished at

The kitchen market presents few new feat

improvement in the egg and fish market since

The flora of Wyoming is diversified
and beautiful, though on the plains it is

to light ecru or straw color, and bic

Francis E. Warner is the present gov

Female suffrage has its home in Wyo-

There are thirty species of mammals
in Wyoming. outside Of the legislature

The prairie dog is gradually becoming
extinct in Wyoming and giving place to
people who know more. Washington
Irving, who was a good writer and used
good grammar all the time, in drawing
off pieces for the paper, made fluke on
the prairie dog, think. You can see in
a moment, if you are any judge of physi-
ognomy, that a prairie dog does not
know anything. His thought waves all
originate in the Dit of his stomach and

Judgment in selecting his associates. He
is thorough chump, and has lived SO
long in the bowels of the earth that he
gives less attention to mental improve
ment and more thought to girth than
any animal that moves in our set. His
pelt is worthless; his tail is humiliating
failure and his whole life is a ffzzle. He
teaches no lesson of industry, economy
or morals, and his death brings with it
no appreciable shock.

GOOD ADVICE IN A NUTSHELL

N
There are four organs in the human
body which are vital in their functions
and delicate in their structure, and which
give us an immense amount of trouble.
These are the Heart, Stomach, Kidneys
and Liver. If they give us trouble it Is
because we neglect or abuse them, and of
course we must take the consequences
The diseases of these organs are very nu-
merous and often dangerous. Luckily We
now have a remedy which has proved
just the thing for this class of diseases.
1t is Pe-rn-na, a purely vegetable COM
pound, that strikes right at the root of
the whole trouble. This preparation was
used by DR.. Hartman most successfully in
his general practice for years before it
was placed before the general public;
and if was its remarkable success in his
private practice that led him TO place 1T
