ASTHMA IND
1t Is common error to suppose every dis

ing to be Asthma OF Phthisic We have short

Just as we do in Asthma, only that in these
diseases 1t is always present, whereas in Asthma
Asthma is spasmodic disease of the lungs,
which manifests itself in periodic attacks or
'fits." 1t comes on suddenly and is attended
but when the attack is over the patient breathes
almost as well as in health. S&
Nervous. Humid and Dry Asthma are names
given to different forms OF this disease. EN-
physema Is another and more inyeterate kind
of Asthma, while Hay Fever or Rose Cold is a
peculiar variety Of Asthma which occurs ut u
certain season OF the year. Each of these
forms of disease differs somewhat from the
Others in symptoms, but practically these dis
matter to the patient which form of Asthma
he has, since his sufferings are the same in
all, In one case the expectoration becomes
tbs light, and we call it dry. When he coughs
up clear water. with a white froth on the sur
face, we say he has HumOral Asthma. In
Nervous Asthma there is very little expector-
alton of any kind. Hay Fever always begins
as crying cold in the head or influenza. and
clear water runs from the nose and the eyes
before the Asthma mt comes on. In Emphyse1na
the expectoration is generally thick and con
/ tinues SO in the interval between the fits
while the shortness of breath is increased on
the slightest exertion. T1
1T is a foolish cOnceit or many people to be-
Eeve that If they have Asthma they cannot ges
Consumption. The truth is the very opposite.
They are more liable to fall into Consumption
because they have the Asthma, Another idea
is that the Asthma itself is not a dangerous dis
ease, and yet the published bills of mortality
great numbers lose their lives every year by
this foul destroyer OF our homes
without courage and perseverance nothing
is curable But with these, aided by proper
and skillful treatment Asthma can be cured
even after the lungs are extensively diseased.
Persons desiring treatment by this system OF
practice can use the remedies at home as well az
at our Office, and which will cause no incon
yenience or hindrance from businefs whatever.
visitors and invalids will be wise in being
cured before they return home.

to their cases had better call at the Office for an

the iron dory off its hinges and washed the
steerage steward the length of the snip and

like breaker The steamer poked her
nose in the big mountain Of water, and the
next minute everything was floating on

who was forward, was caught by wave
and washed the whole length of the ship,
and was taken out of the steering gear with
his leg broken. 1t is believed the wave was

NEW ORLEANS, LA, Nov. 24.-Atwood,
Violet q Co. say:
Futures-Fear of falling off in receipts
is again the cause of better feeling every
where, and our market was advanced IL
points and is 1-l6c better on spots. Liver
pool opened better, lost the improve
ment and closed about the same
as last night, with sales Of 5000 bales.
The advance here was partly caused by the
report of prominent Memphis firm 10 be
issued tomorrow, showing for that dis
trict 10 per cent marketed and 20
per cent short of last year.
Liverpool is expected to be better to-mor-
row but whether this market and New
York will further advance on the improve
ment there depends largely upon how much
short interest there is in the market.
March being an active month here
we take that as a basis. 1t, at the close
here, was twenty-seven points above
middling. If middling cotton should be
worth on the 1st of March next So cents,
March cotton will sell here on the same day
at s cents. To show what may be ex-
pected and how premiums are wiped
out, middling to-day was advanced
to $50, and yet December contracts closed
here at Isl, or points over yesterday,
whereas February, March and later months
have advanced IL points. This is because
will be made on December contracts, that
being the tender day for December, and as
nobody wants the cotton they are selling out
their Decembers and transferring to later
months. 1t is for this reason we feel salts
fled March and every other month will sell
uuder middling on the first of every month
as the month becomes current. This is
irrespective of any bullish or bearish feeling
but we give it as illustrative of what
premiums signify.
Port receipts to-day 5000, against $1,000
last year, and the estimate here for to-mor-
row is $4,000 bales, against $4,000 bales at
all ports last year.
Spot cotton closed steady Sales, $3.50
bales. Quotations up I-6c on low middling
and above. Balance unchanged.

stricted by higher prices from the interior.

gallery. Thirteen years ago he was Lord
Salisbury's private secretary, and now
there is talk of his succeeding his former
master. He has great fondness for the
open-air game Of golf.
If the dispatch sent by Gen. Forrest to
announce the capture of Fort Pillow is a
true bin 1t should be embalmed in history
along with Caesars ''Veni, vidi vici,n and
the hardly less famous message of the
British general: '-Peccavi-IhaveS cinde."
Gen. Forrest, is alleged to have written
after the fort was taken: eve busted the
fort at ninerclock and scattered the mig
gers. The men is still cillanem in the
woods" ''Ninerclock" explains itself and
"cillanem" is interpreted to read ''kiliing
them.'
Chief Secretary Balfour, who a few years
ago was nickuamed 'Perfumed Popinjay,"
and miss Nancy" by the Irish members of
parliament, is now, next TO MIR. Gladstone
and Lord Salisbury, the most prominent
political figure in England. Perhaps he
deserved the epithets applied to him in
earlier years, for he was then Longing
young man Of efemiuate manners who
toyed with a scented handkerchief while he
sprawled over the treasury bench, but he
seems for all that to have had the making
of political leader in him.

SLICK DEALERS.
BOUGHT FOR NOTHING, SOLD
FOR DOUBLE PRICE.
Most Anyone Could Get Rich at That
Rate-Stories Told of the Broken
Lincoln Grain Dealers.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. 2+.-Brockman,
st. Louis commission man, now asserts
that Brown Bros, the broken Lincoln grain
dealers, swindled him out of SO 900. 1t
may seem incredible, but he says it was
was done within a period OF two
business may be inferred from the fact
that there were eighty-three cars of grain
on the track in Council Bluffs in one
day recently. Brockman charges that
in some cases the Browns had grain
shipped to the Union elevator for
Brown Bros of St. Louis, in care Of Brown
Bros. at Omaha, Neb.. on bills of ladiug.
The Browns drew on the st. Louis man and
got their cash. After the grain had been
cleaned at the elevator it was
reshipped over one of the
Iowa roads to Chicago or
Baltimore, the Browns claiming they could
get better prices east than at St. Louis.
Brockman had an agreement under
which he was to receive half i
grain handled by the Browns.
He did not care where it was sold. He now
charges that q great deal of this grain has
disappeared; that he has not been paid by
the Eastern buyers. and that the Browns
have not reimbursed him. He con-
GUIDES that in shipping the grain
the Browns got new bills of lading from
the Iowa roads and used them in making
drafts on the Eastern buyers, thus appar-
emily getting double price for the grain,
and letting Brocknan whistle for his
money.
There is still another branch to the inter
esting manipulation. Some of the buyers
who have been shipping to the Browns
have been in the habit of sending
them the bill of lading by mail
and then drawing on them through
the local bank without the bill attached
to the draft. The bill enabled the Browns
to get the grain from the railroads and in u
number of cases the drafts have been dis
honored. Apparently then the Browns got
the grain for nothing and sold it for double
price.
The Browns, however, deny tho allera-
tons of fraud and assert that the taugle
will pe Strengthened out if they are given a
chance to do it. They threaten to sue
Brockman for $50, 900 damages. 1t is i'm
possible to say how much money or how
many dealers are involved in the failure.
The Browns had elevators or cribs at four
teen or fifteen stations on the Union Pa
cific, but there were about 100 dealers at
other points, shipping to them. New
claims are putting in an appearance
almost every hour, and it is impossible to
tell how much loss is involved in the failure,
though Mr.. Brockmau is quoted as eSti-
mating it at SlO0, 600.

present are such that at times criminals
are able to take advantage of the uhcer-
tainty of jurisdiction and escape en-
tirely the penalty Of their crimes. The
Federal courts and the Indian courts
sometimes overlap and conflict in their
jurisdiction, and again they fail to con-
meet and leave gap that cannot be
filed. 1t is quite certain that a change
in the laws giving to the Federal courts
complete jurisdiction in all criminal
cases would add to the efficiency of the
laws execution IN a territory where
greater security against crime is very
much needed
