MANCHEsTER DRY GOODS.

Manchester, May 19.-The market was
very dull in the early part of the week,
but since Wednesday has been more
active all round, prices hardening and
and prospects areconsdered good. For
China, staple goods were well engaged
and still wanted. India was still hesita-
ting to follow the upward movement,
owing to the large supplies, but inquiries
were increasing. In the miscellaneous
groups there were moderate buyers. The
home trade was distincly improving. In
yarns there has been fair business, es-
pecially Friday and Saturday. Prices
are now 1-Sd to a farthing dearer on
the week. The continent reports a strong
tone and good demand at higher prices for
yarns and cloth.

A TRUE HERO

Is the individual who smiles with appar-
ent cheerfullness during an attack of
rheumatism. "If such there be- we never
met him nor her. An agOnized grin is
the nearest approach to cheerfulness of
aspect we ever beheld under such
circumstances. But when Hostetter' S
Stomach Bitters is repelled-as it GER
tainly will-the earlier attacks of this
formidable disease the quOndam sufferer
has good reason not alone to smile, but
to give vent to hearty outlaws interspers--
ed with freuent chuckles. To the removal
of dyspepsia, malarial and kidney COM
liver the Bitters is specially adapted.
1t renews failing strength and appetite,
and counteracts the infrmaties of age.
When facilitating maladies are succeed
ed by tardy convalescence with a danger
of relapse, it accelerates gain in vigor
and flesh. and tends to re-eStablish health
on a lasting basis. Give it Il suitable
trial.

THE KICKAPOO RACE.
Thousands of People Assembling on the
Reservations Border.

Kansas City, Mo-. May ia special
to the Times from Guthrie, o. T., says:
The publication of the presidents proc
lamatiOn opening the Kickapoo Indian
country to settlement created great ex-
citement in this secion. Although every
body was expecting the news, its sudden
ness of announcement came as a sur.
prise. Today all is excitement in the
towns surrounding the new Ell Dorado
and everything from horse to bicycle
is being got ready for the coming race for
farms, which bids fair to equal the great
rush to the Cherokee strip. Next Thurs
day at noon $4,000 acres will be thrown
open to settlement. Eighty-three thous-
and acres will be reserved for school land
purposes, but Governor Renfrow gave
out word today that he would Immediately
throw open the school land. This fact
will help hundreds of people who fail to
get in ON the ground floor in Thursdays
race. The trains are already bringing in
hundreds of prospective settlers and it is
estimated that by Wednesday $4,000 peo-
pie will be lining the borders of the Kioka-
poo country.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an intiamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.

Financial Outlook-No commodity af-
fects the value of any other, except sym
patheitcally and relatively. Intrinsic
values always stand grmly related to sup
ply and demand. Unnatural and abnor-
NAL demand may be temporarily caused
by extraordinary consumption, undue
speculation, human whims, contracts
and laws. Temporary apparent advan-
tage may be gained by agrculturists and
their dependents against manufacturers
and their employees by change from gold
to silver standard; the outcome might
mean loss to all classes.
StrawS-lt is estimated the silver pro-
ductiOn of 1895 will not exceed 100, 100000
ounces, and Chinese indemnity will re-
Qure more. Imports of textile fabrics
and other fibre goods average 16 per cent
more than under the former tariff. Total
imports for seven months are $54,000,OOO
more than in 1894. The United States

THAT WINGED FIGURE.
The Trouble She Is Giving to the City
Hail Commissioners-No De-
cision Yet

The City Hall Commissioners yesterday
held short session in which they found
time to grant the dome contractor another
extension of time, and to discuss a little
more the question of what metal the winged
figure on the dome should be made. The
following communication to the Mayor
from Whtye & De Rome, founders, was
read:
Hon: Adolph Satro-DEAR SIR: We will make
casting OF statuary bronze. ninety parts cop
per, SIX parts tin. two parts zinc, two parfs
lead from plaster model, now in course of con-
struction by Marion Wells, for figure for dome
OF new City Hall, finish same and deliver on
sidewalk at new City Hall in good Condition
for the sum OF ST., 900. Very truly,
WHITE & De ROME.
The contract of Marion Wells. sculntor
of the big figure, requires him to dc, as
much for $4,000; that is, create the figure.
cast it and all, the material to be used
being white metal. If bronze is used his
figure is sl2,50O--only $500 more than
Whyte e. De Rome have bid for the casting
alone. The figure is twenty feet high. No
conclusion was reached in the matter.

at the Hall of Records and found that w.
Brown many years ago sold the land out
of the Oak Shade Tract to the Sehuetzen
Verein, at which time the two streets
named were laid out. The SchuetZen

stable at the corner of Front street and
Broadway yesterday. He had been around

place on Pine street. After losing his
money he was barkeeper in some of the
best known places in the City, and subse-
quently engaged in the livery business.
