What Hard Waiter Does.

The hard water necessarily in common
use for drinking purposes in many places
tends to cause the deposit of caloareous
matter in the Kidneys and Bladders, pro-
ducing the agonizing and dangerous dis.
eases known as Gravel and Stone For
merly the only reloef from these affec-
tions was by painful surgical operations,
and even they were of questionable value
Now the work of removal of those foreign
substances from the delicate organs they
clog, irritate and torture, Is safely, speed
lily and painlessly done by DR.. David Ken
nedy's Favorite Remedy. No other medi-
cine can be relied upon SO implicitly. In
evey case Of Kidney Disease 1t should be
resorted to at once.

ward. John Devanney issued the first
call for a caucus which will be con-
Quoted on what is known as the Craw-
| ford county plan.
M. j. Kelly, the other committeeman
| from the ward, was not consulted prior
| to the issuing of the call. He declares
| that the Crawford county system of

rules of the Democratic party and in
compliance with the request Of sew
eral candidates for ward and district

vention at st. Johns hall tonight to

Court.

Enough money has been raised In the
case of Murderer Franz Beck to carry
an appeal to the supreme court in his
behalf. Attorney George S. Horn has
been retained to assist Attorneys Col
born and Watson in the effort to get q
new trial granted to the condemned
man. The supreme court meets in the
latter part of February at Philadel-
phia when the case will be argued.
Attorney Watson would not state
where the money came from, but it is
intimated that Bezek's father loosened
his purse strings and that a subscrlp-
tion was raised among the murderer's
friends. Mr.. Watson is confident that
the supreme court will reverse the

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Cotton Letter.


 New York, Dec 20.-(Special.)-T was a field day in the cotton market-the decline was sharp, and the liquidation was enorm- ous, and it would be difficult to exaggerate the uneasy feeling that prevailed during a portion of the day. March opened at S.1i, rallied to S.17, declined to S.O4 and closed at S.11, with the tone very steady. The terri ble drop in the stock market, with some thing very like panic had most de- pressing effect upon holders of cotton. The bears are relying upon great deal of cot ton now held in the south being forced upon the market by the anticipated tightness of money. At the close today it looked much as if the worst was over, but the feeling is still one of great uneasiness and it is i'm possible tonight to forecast the course of prices tomorrow. The light movement espe- cially at interior towns, and the hearty liquidation that has taken place should make an upward reaction easy and natural but mightier influences than these are at work and at the moment little heed is paid ito the movement.

Chicago 'Chanpe.

Chicago, Dec. 2O.--Wheat was dangerously close to a panic today. Twice during the session it appeared as though there was no hope of averting catastrophe, but happily the feeling underwent a favorable change in each instance. At the opening a decline of Hm1c from yesterdays closing was es- tablshed, followed immediately by further Joss, but later prices steadied and trade be- came less excited. About Il a. m. a second alarm was sounded and loss of 1c from the previous low point took place, with long wheat coming on the market from all direc- tions. The action of the New York stock market and the war talk, which appeared in all the morning papers, was directly respon- sible for the alarming condition which pre- vailed in grain. London was selling Ameri- can securities in New York; with the effect of producing a veritable panic at that place, with breaks of to F points in everything on the list. Money quotations rose rapidly until 80 per cent was charged on call. Near the close only per cent was asked A rally in the stock market had saving influence on other speculative trade, which enjoyed the benefit to a moderate extent. May wheat opened at 5St2u5SAc, declined to 57hc and closed at 57l2@5Sc, 1&Q1l3c under yes-- terday. Cash wheat was 1c per bushel lower.
 Corn-The nervousness of the leading grain market and the New York stock mar ket extended to corn as well as to every thing else on the floor. Longs sold freely, and not few of the bears took advantage of the excited and weak condition of the market to increase their short lines. When wheat and stocks steadied the corn market recovered portion of the loss made earlier. May corn OpeHeu dl Hoc, uecililtu tO AI34c, closing at 277sc, 1s@Ac under yesterday. Cash corn was Ac lower.
 Oats-The depression witnessed in the oth- CT markets was present likewise in oats Holders disposed of their oats. the selling orders being greatly in the majority throughout the morning. The last hour was marked by a partial recovery in values May oats closed 1sc under yesterday. Cash oats were 14c lower
 Provsions-This market was no exception to the rule, and prices suffered from the weakness of stocks and grain Trading did not assume very large proportions, but there was a well defined disincinaton to buying or holding products The lack of con fidence was more of potency as a factor than was a steady to firm hog market. The closing prices were 121ac lower for May pork, 7lac lower for May lard and 7lsm10c lower for May ribs.
 The leading futures ranged as follows:

In Wall Streat-

New York, Dec. 2O.-The dealings at the stock exchange were unusually exciting and prices broke badly. The Venezuelan ques- tion came into greater prominence, and the news relative to the proceedings at Wash ington was scanned with more concern. Be- fore the opening of the local stock market it was known here that prices for Ameri- cans in London had broken anywhere from l to per cent. The result was great rush to sell stocks the minute the board opened

past. On the decline strong houses came to quickly rallied. Liverpool showed surpris- ing strength, that is, it was surprising to the bears, but the bulls believe that it is only what might be expected. German shorts raided the market today and caught a good many stop orders, but in the later business there was considerable covering while as already intimated strong inter ests friendly to cotton stepped forward and bought freely, fact which greatly promo ted the rally

 Today's features: Of course the decline today was largely attributed to the semi panic in the New York and London stock markets That caused heavy liquidation in cotton and encouraged the shorts to attack the market. Tonight the short interest is much larger than it has been for some time
