jerks had a queer dream the other night.
He thought he saw q prize-fgbters' ring, and
in the middle of it stood doughty little
champion who met and deliberately knocked
over, one by one, a score or more of big,
burly-looking fellows, as they advanced to
the attack. Giants as they were in size, the
valiant pigmy proved more than match for
them. 1t was all so funny that jerks woke
up laughing. He accounts for the dream by
the fact that he had just come to the conclu-
sion, after trying nearly every big, drastic
pill on the market, that Pieree's Pleasant
Purgative Pellets, or tiny Sugar coated
CIranules easily knock out " and beat all

THE WEEKS STOCKS
Prices Slightly Higher, but Moth
ing to Swell Over.
STANLEY is BADLY SMASHED
Yesterday was the Biggest Day of the Week
Crescent, Mammoth and Apex
In Demand.

The mining stock market for the week
has been devoid of the excitement that at
tends any radical changes in the market.
The same inactivity continues, though
each day witnesses small grist of bust
ness. Speculative interests are largely at
standstill and few of the brokers are in
clined to go further than to swap stocks
at a few cents fuctuation. The de-
mand for Mammoth continues, and SO
does the dearth of that stock.
The men who hold Mammoth are satisfied
to hold it and but little OF it csn be had
without radical advance in the market
Mammoth would sell as readily at Sc as II
does at 81. 25 if its hackers knew the first
principles Of manipulating the market-bu'
they are strangers to the tinesse OF making
even legitimate values.
The interest in Saturdays trading was
chiefly confined to Apex and Stanley. Car
ter unloaded the former selling to j. E
Bamberger, j. G. Davis and L. E. BAN
berger.
Stevenson bore down heavily on Stanley
In this he was assisted by Lou Bamberger
disposing of 1900 at 1Sc. Jake Bambergel
bought this and took 1000 off Conklin at Ice
Stevenson now turned loose. and with tn.
aid of Davis, sold the stock down to 1!

offered, except 1000 shares, which Conklil

The Central Pacific Wins a Big
Land Case.
BANK WRECKERS SENTENCED
Trusted Employee Betrays Confidence-De'
cline in the London Stock Exchanged
Mckinley Decision.

Los ANGELES, CAL, March I'm the
United States circuit court decision has
been rendered in the case of the United
States VS.. the Southern Pacific, giving
Judgment in favor of the railroad. The
case involves a large area of land claimed
by the government to have been illegally
patented to the company by reason of beng
embraced in the limits of the Mexican
grant to San Jose, when the grant to
the railroad attached April 8, 1871.
The government also claimed the consoli-
dation Of the Southern Pacific with other
railroads was illega and the right to earn
the grant by constructing road could not
pass by assignment to the consolidated
company. The court held unanimously in
favor of the railroad on the latter point,
but on the former it was divided, District
Judge Rose holding against the railroad,
Circuit Judge Sawyer in its favor. Where
judges dissent, the opinion of the circuit
judge prevails and decree was therefore
rendered against the government. Counsel
for the government gave notice Of an ap-
peal to the supreme court of the United
States

porters. Wyman imported some guns up
on which the collector here assessed the
duty imposed by the Mckinley law. The
latter protested, claiming the duties
charged were too high, and the case was
referred to the board of appraisers at New
York who sustained the appraiser here.
The firm then put in plea before the cir
cult court in this city for a decision. The
point was raised that the court had no

day decided this court has jurisdiction
and has issued an order upon the New Y ork
board of appraisers to submit papers and

DR.. Johnson's Tribute to Reynolds

modest Noll! do you seek Sir Joshua?"
queried Samuel. "To have my portrait

tai; but, by the gods, if Reynolds paints
you I've lost" Goldsmith smiled weak
ly and passed on.
Garrick's Estimate-Garrick, upon be-
ing asked whether or not he thought
Hamlet crazy, replied that he really did
not know, but judged he might be if he
ever saw himself played by Barry.
The value of this witticism is some

having been inspired by professional
