SILVER HELPED HER.
Mexico Really Prospersd Under its Decline
Says President Diaz.


Says President Diaz.
BALTIMORE, Md, Sept 5.-President
Diaz of Mexico contributes to this weeks
issue of the Manufacturers Record
special interview regarding the increase
of business relations between the two
countries and the possibilities of increase
of trade.
In regard to closer commercial rela-
tions between Mexico and the United
States he says that he has not the least
doubt but that this can be brought about
by each country removing from its
laws everything which opposes the de-
velopment of these reciprocal interests
and that so far as Mexico is concerned
legislation in this connection has al :
ways been conceived in the most lib eral
spirit compatible with its interests.
Respecting the decline of silver in the
foreign market, President Diaz says:
81 believe that in reality the detriment
has not been of the magnitude that
was anticipated, and this decline has
been a benefit to general industries in the
country, and this is easily explained.
The depreciation of silver has produced
rise in foreign exchange. and therefore
has raised the price of imported goods,
which actually means an advantage
to the industries of the country
THE Immediate result of this situation
has been the establishment of new indus
tries, the extension of those already es-
tablished and the encouragement of ag-
riculture in all those branches suitable
for expectation, such as coffee and
heniquen, the values Of which lately IN

From letter written by Rev. J. Gun
derman, of Dimondale, Mich, we are
permitted to make this extract: 81 have
no hesitation in recommending DR.. Kings
New Discovery, as the results were al
most marvellous in the case of my wife.
While was pastor of the Baptist church
at Rives Janction. she was brought down
with Pneumonia succeeding La Grippe.
Terrible paroxysms of coughing would
last hours with little interruption and it
seemed as if she would not survive them.
A friend recommended DR.. Kings New

highly satisfactory in results" Trial

CAN'T KILL THE DOGS
An Interesting Decision Given in a WyO-
ming District Court.

CHEYENNE. Wyo, Sept Sin the
Laramie county district court decision
was rendered against the city of Chey
enne in a dog case that has excited much
interest here for the past three months.
The court decided that under the Wyo-
ming constitution property could
not be taken without due
process of law; that dog, under the
Wyoming laws, is property, and that the
ordinance authorizing the summary de-
struction of dogs was taking of prop
erty without due process of law, and
therefore void.
Under this decision the city authorities
can not destroy dog without notice to
the owner 1t is also probable that the
city is liable under the decision for
amounts paid for license to keep dogs
this year. and also for damages on dogs
that have leen destroyed under the city
ordinance.

Wheat-Markets were all sick today,
wheat being especially affected by ad-
vance advices bearing on the general
situation. December making another low
record, and selling down to 5914. Ru-
mors that wheat held by Wall street peo-
pie was being sold out, assisted in de-
moralizing affairs, and putting prices on
toboggin slide. The first selling was of
a fiourishing character, but just as the
market looked the weakest there was a
sudden wave of buying orders and
good advance was scored
which was maintained and the clos
ing was steady with a strong undertone.
The markets have continually declined on
all grains for the past two weeks. Be-
cause there is a great crop of corn, pro-
badly the greatest ever grown in Amer
lea, the general trader is bound to sell the
wheat market short. The conditions are
the more bullish than for several years
past. Last year at this time there was
800 cars wheat standing in and near

Last Invention Is Practicable.
The continued success which has at
tended experiments in sending tele-
graphic messages through space prom
ises to lead to remarkable develop
ments. An English electrician says it
is difficult to forecast the future of this
new biography. SO far, signaling by
this means has been carried on in one
direction only but there is no reason
why messages should not be duplicated,
or even quadrupled. Further details are
now at hand of the establishment of
communication between the Island Of
Null and the mainland near Oban, a
few weeks ago, when the connecting
cable broke down. 1t will be remember
ed that an insulated wire was laid along
the shore of the island. and messages
through it were sent to the mainland,
across two miles of intervening space.

Morse circuit could not have given bet
ter results. The chief difficulty was the

One Of the most sensational perform

hours. G. L. Bucholz and w. w. Hoyt
had each cleared II feet 294 inches, but
failod at the next height. Then tho bar
was put back to II feet inches, to II
feet, to 10 feet 8. inches and finally to 10
foot inches, Mt which height both CLEARED

most eloquent period of his perorntion.
Hoyt having failed three times, Bucholz
won by clearing the bar at his third trial,

across tho field mt n ten second gait, while
