A Wonderful Enterprise for the Relief
of Catarrh Sufferers.
Since DIR. Hartman's offer to take
charge of 10000 cases of chronic catarrh
without charge the letters have come
pouring in from every state in the Union.
An enormous amount of mail matter
leaves the doctors Office every day. A
great many stenographers, cOpyists and
private clerks are kept busy from morn
ing to night in preparing the multitude a.
letters which the doctor dictates. Cures
are reported by the score. An intense
interest prevails in all parts of the coun-
try. Those who follow the doctors di-
rections carefully are sure of being cured.
TO become patient one should write
name, age, sex and symptoms, and ad-
dress to DR. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio.
Each letter will be carefully answered in
regular turn. The druggists all over the
United States are already supplied with
Dr. Hartman'S remedies for the treat
mcnt of catarrh.
Those who prefer, for any reason, not
to have their names entered as regular
patients, and yet wish to avail them
selves of the doctors treatment, should
send at once for Il copy of Family Physi-
clan No. ,. This book gives descrip-
ton of the use of DR.. Hartman's great
remedy, Pe-ru-na, in chronic catarrh, Ia

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Feb. 1.-THE share spccu-
lation today was dull and without i'm
portant features. At the opening n strong
tone prevailed and the trading was fairly
active on reports from Washington that
the Republican members of the house
would support the gold bill Under the
impetus given by the favorable news,
prices moved up sharply in the first half
hour, Manhattan, sugar, Chicago gas and
the grangers leading the upward move
ment, which did not extend beyond per
cent. The figures induced rcalzations
which caused partial reaction in the
shares which had previously advanced.
After midday the general market gave
way slightly but the pressure to sell was
slight and the market soon steadied it's
cir bGt q renewal Of sales sent prices
again downward and figures below yes
terday's low point were touched, North
western preferred breaking 1 and the rest
of the list n fraction. Compared with
yesterdays final sale the closing of the
prices of the day are very irregular, but
q majority of the shares dealt in are
higher Chief among the shares are
Northwestern preferred / and Louisville,
New Albany preferred, both rs.
The trade in bonds during the morning
was Hat and no material changes were
recorded. In the subsequent dealings
the volume of business was slightly in
creased and a decided trend toward low
or figures were noted The aggrrpntr
sales were SS53, 600.

A GROUNDLESS RIrMOR

There was rumor going the rounds
yesterday to the effect that the Hon. Mr.,
Callaghan's appearance in the CITY 81
suddenly yesterday morning on the heels
of his defeat in the election at San An
tonic Monday was for the purpose of Sc
curing Governor Culberson's promise to
appoint him to the district judgship at
San Antonio vice Judge Noonan. This
rumor was without foundation, however
Representative Blair of San Antonio, who
is a personal friend of Mr.. Callaghan
yesterday informed n Statesman reporter
that Mr.. CallaShan was not here for any
such purpose. On the contrary, he was
urging Dryers appointment by Cover
nor Culberson, and was here in that gen
lleman's interest.

newspaper reporters to enter into details
like that. A vicious character was I'M
folded. The lad committed two forgeries
some years ago. and his father saved him
from the penltentiary by assuming the OBJ
legations. The boy had a hard name in
the neighborhood. His father feared that at
some time he would murder some member
of the family. That is his history.
He says that he committed the triple
mu rider under the following circum-
stances: Earlier in the day his mother
directed him to bring in some wood. He
was not feeling well, and at first demurred,
but he thought better of it and fetched
the wood. Then McKercher came to the
house, and while he and the elder Mont
gomery were talking the latter "ordered"
his son to fetch him q drink of water. The
boy fatty refused, and the father slapped
him. The slap was followed by abusive
raillery. The boy thereupon went into
the house, got his rife and in a frenzy or
passion killed all three. Then he hid in
the pasture and there concooted a story
which made McKercher the murderer and
himself the slayer of Mckercher. The lad
had read the reports of the Durrant case
eagerly, and they required to him while
he was in the pasture.
No lad is as vicious as ali this without
cause, and it is a common duty to seek
that cause. 1t is clear that if he had
cherished anything like natural affec-
ton for bis parents he would not have de-
INJURED to the bringing in of the wood or
the fetching of drink to his father. 1t is
more than likely that the absence of this
affection is not chargeabe wholly to any
distortion of his nature or to any pre-
natal influences that may have determined
his temperament. His father had no
right to slap him, no right to revile him.
In a lad of that kind, with such history
and temper, his father by those acts was
making murder inevitable.
The natural inclination of a father is to
be severe with a son and tender with
daughter; of mother, TO be tender with
both, but more with the son. It is the
mothers Influence above all others of an
extraneous character that determines the
character of her son. This mother, when
she should have seen that her boy was
moody and sullen, would not have di
rected him to fetch the wood had she been
intelligent. Knowing his rebellious char
acter, she would have reflected, had she
been intelligent, that a woman's tender
ness, particularly a mothers, is the most
efficient check in the world on all that is
savage in a man.
A careful study of this case-and it is so
common that it needs 10 be studied-will
undoubtedly show that the parents of this
boy pursued a course toward him all
through his life that could have but one
end-their murder at his hands. Very
properly the law will not take much cog
nizance OF that, for such is not its purpose;
but it is not a high order OF civilization
which depends for its safety more on
punishment than education.

EDITOR MENZIEs AND THE MANUFACTURES AND

Some time ago THE CALL had occasion to
draw attention to some erroneous views ex-
pressed by J. j. Menzies, editor OF the Grocer

which followed. Mr.. Menzies asserted that in
justice had been done to him by certain allu-
sions to a letter written by him to the Manu-
facturers and Producers Association, and he
asked that his letter be published. AS the sub
ject matter is of public interest it is here
printed. Some OF the ideas held by Mr.. Menzies
are, to say the least, at variance with the gen.
orally accepted opinions of this community,
but he, of course, is entitled to his own opin-
