WHAT PHYSICIANS SAY.
Some Good Advice to All Riders of
the Wheel Who May he i'm Dam
ger Without Knowing 1t.

Next to my friends 1 love my BIZ
cycle!'
She was an enthusiastic young wom-
an who uttered these words and she
evidently meant them. There is so
much exhilaration and pleasure in rid,
ing bicycle, that 1t is no wonder it is
SO popular.
But like every good thing 1t has it's
drawbacks. People who have ridden a
bicycle for any length of time are al
most always troubled at times with pam
in the back. 1t IS fact which admits of
no dispute that the vibration of the
wheel causes, in nearly every case,
more or less kidney, liver or urinary
difficulties. Not that these troubles are
serious at the beginning, but they are
liable to become so If they continue.
There is no more serious trouble In the
world than kidney trouble, whether in
men or women, and there is nothing
more certain than that it must be
checked in time, or broken health, shat
tered strength and untimely death are
sure to follow.
Any man, woman or child can ride a
bicycle without any danger from these
troubles If the kidneys and urinary or
gans are only kept regulated. But, of
course, there is the great difficulty Every
physician knows that it is difficult to
regulate these delicate organs, and all
physicians admit that there is abso-
lutely but one remedy for these trou-
bles. That remedy is Warmers Safe
Cure. This great discovery is acknowl-
edged to be the only cure for these
difficulties, because it stimulates gently
the kidneys and all adjacent organs
and causes them to continue in perfect
health. There need be no fear of back
ache, peculiar pains, depressed feel
ings,, or any Of the thousand things
which indicate kidney difficulty, where
this great Safe Cure is used continuous
ly and in time. So that bicycle riders
need not fear, but can ride to their
hearts content, providing only they
are careful, providing only they watch
for the approach of the first symptoms
of kidney difficulty, and providing only
they check them in time.

MANUFACTURING AND CONNER
CIAL CIRCLES FEEL THE
MOVEMENT
STRONGEST IN THE EAST.
BANK CLEARINGs MUCH HEAV-
TER THAN FOR SOME TIME
PAST.
High Temperature In Some of the
Western States Not Helping
the Demand.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-Bral-
streets tomorrow will say: Gen
eral trade throughout the United
States shows further Improvement in
this, the second week of September,
more particularly n manufacturing
and commercial lines at the East
and South. From the Central West
ern and some West ern states, T OF
ably Iowa, there are advIces that
purchases of seasonable goods have
been checked this week heca use of
high temperature throughout the
region specified but in the South At
lantic, Gulf and Southwestern states
and on the Pacific coast general
trade has been increasing in voluyne,
with improving mercantile collec-
tions as a rule, and goods selling
with less effort in many instances.
In support of favorable influencing
conditions are this weeks heavily
increased total Of bank clearings,
the largest weeks aggregate of
wheat exports within three months,
the heaviest weeks shipment of In
dian corn in seventeen months, the
maintenance of full proportions of
the extraordinary heavy demand for
iron and steel, and the significant
hardening Of leading money mar
kets, accompanied by reports of in
creasing mercantile discounts.
Price tendencies this week are
more favorable from the point of
view of the holder, advances hav-
ing been recorded in wheat, corn and
oats, after a prolonged reaction;
wheat flour, raw and refined sugar,
coffee, brown and bleached cotton
goods and print cloths, in sole
leather and turpentine. Quotations
have held steady through the week
for cotton, wool, lumber, hogs and
lard, while decreases among prices
for leading staples are noted for cat
tie, sheep, pork and rosin. A spe-
cial inquiry by Bradstreet's into
prices for more than 100 staple prod
ucts shows that in the second quar-
ter of the current calendar year
there were advances in quotations
for Sc, no change for II, and lower
prices reached by only 2S.
Wheat exports, both coasts of the
United States and Canada, aggre-
gate 2,538, 900 bu this week four in
cluded as wheat, a gain of one-third
over last week, but in contrast with
1857, 900 bu one year ago, 4,727, 1000 bu
two years ago and 3,711 900 bu in the
like week in 1892. New York, Mon
treal and the Pacific coast shipped
more freely. Total exports, twice
what was sent out last week, much
larger quantity than in like weeks
in preceding years, and the heaviest
weeks total since April, 1894"

ORDERED TO SETTLE.
Fargo Odd Fellows Must Pay Back
That S11,SOO.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Sept. 90
This afternoon a number of the grand
sires' decisions were considered by the
sovereign grand lodge, 1. o. o. F. A
half dozen were first amended and
then approved, and three were not
approved at all. The<new grand treas
urer M. Richards Muckle, of Phila-
delphia, was to have been installed
today, but as it is the desire of Mr..
Sheppard, the retiring treasurer, to
finish up his accounts and turn them
over to his successor, the ceremony
was deferred until tomorrow. The
committee on state of the order report
ed today on the Fargo difficulty, sus-
tanning the grand sire. The North Da-
kota jurisdiction is ordered to give the
Fargo lodge ninety days to return the
81, 800 alleged to be misappropriated
to build the hall after the great fire.
A resolution giving state grand en-
campments the power to make the pay
ment of sick benefits optional with
subordinate encampmentS came up,
but failed to pass. A telegram was re-
ceived today from the convention of
the Womans Christian Temperance
Union of Philadelphia congratulating
the convention on the amendment de-
barring saloonkeepers, bartenders and
professional gamblers from member
ship in the order.
The Fargo matter was up for con-
sideration tonight and went over until
tomorrow. The decision of the sover-
eign grand lodge will be final. To-
nights session was devoted to the con-
sideration of the grip, password and
other details of the secret code. At a
late hour an adjournment was taken
until tomorrow.

REVIVAL OF CONFIDENCE.
Buliish Tendencies in Wall Street
Marked the Week.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-Bradstreet's'
stock review tomorrow will say; Bull
ish tendencies have again asserted
themselves in speculation, the revival
of confidence after the severe liqlda-
ton of last week being much more
rapid than usual in such cases. The.
industriaJ group In particular has re-t
corued an Improvement in the lower
range of quotations established by the
unexpected large gold exports and the
decline of the treasury specie reserve
below the $100,000 600 level. The latter
condition has not been remedied, but
natural causes seeem to have assisted
the bond syndicate and the banks to
create a lower level In foreign ex-
change and check the gold outflow.
Commercial bills, particularly drafts
against cotton exports, are offered with
greater freedom, while the hardening
of money creates a presumption that
foreign capital will again seek en-
ployment here. The pressure of bills
on the exchange market was sufficient
to cause a decline In demand rates
from S4.S9A to $4.S9A. About $1,550, 600
was shipped to Europe early in the
week and the early rumors of exceed
ingly heavy gold exports on Saturday
were accordingly revised. The fact
that banks in other cities have been
rendering assistance to the treasury
has had effect. Rumors of a new bond
issue were kept up persistently, but
had little effect. London purchased
stocks on the decline, but showed no
further interest in Americas when the
advance was renewed, nor, though the
activity increased with the higher
range of prices, does our own public
seem to have regained confidence"

Blanchard, of the Central Traffic as
sociation; Trunk Line Commissiol1es
Farmer and Vice Chairman Donald.
of the Central Traffic association,
were also present. President Roberts,
of the Pennsylvania, was selected as
chairman. The report of the special
committee of sixteen, who prepared
the agreement, was presented through
Acting Chairman ingalls,. The va
ricgss ss .slaagsSS sslaaggsssSS were reviewed and dis
cussed, ard the meeting finally ad-
journed at o'clock. No one would
talk about the results of the confer
ence, but the following official state
ment was given to the press:
THE agreement heretofore consid-
cred was amended in several of it's
features and further referred to a
committee of eight for revision and
resubmission at another meeting of
the presidents. 1t was also desired
that the documents be submitted to
counsel and boards of directors of
various companies, in order to assure
conformity with state and interstate
laws
President Ingalls,, of the Big Four
and Chesapeake & Ohio, said of the
agreement: THE proposed measure
of relief contains one grand principle,
and that is the Capitalization of the
rate-making power. Instead of having
Tom, Dick and Harry make rates, we
will have certain number of officials
do that. and the roads will carry out
their ruling. All the other features
of the agreement merely lead up to
one great idea of a board of absolute
control"

TAKEN BY THE JAPS.
Capture of the Old Capital of
FOrmOsa.

TOXIC, Japan, Sept. Z, via San Fran
cisco, Cal, Sept. 20.-Taiwan Ju, the
old capital of Formosa, and Chang
Hwa, an adjacent fortified town, were
captured by body of 1000 Japanese
on Aug. rs, after short contest, in
which twenty-four of the assailants
were killed or wounded. Of the Chi
nese garrisons, numbering 10000, $50
were killed or wounded, and the re-
mainder dispersed in various direc-
tions. The conQuering army will not
proceed farther southwark until after
the arrival of fresh troops from Man
churia and Japan. BY the middle of
September the entire force will exceed
$4,000 fighting men.
Count MatSugata, minister of finance
has resigned from the Japanese cabi-
net because of differences with Mar
quis Ito, the prime minister. Viscount
Watanabe, who retired from the treas
ury last March to make room for
Matsugata, has resumed his former
position. The report recently sent out
from Washington, asserting that to-
ward the close of the war between
China and Japan a serious trouble
threatened the friendly relations of
Japan and the United States, and that
actual hostilities would have broken
out but for the sudden announcement
of an Asiatic armistice, is declared by
the highest authorities in Toxic to be
entirely without foundation.

Gail Hamilton Describes the Sem
sation of Her Recent Serious
Illness.
HAMILTON, Mass, Sept 2O.-Gail
Hamilton, or Miss Abigail Dodge, the
well-known writer and biographer of
James G. Blaine is slowly recovering
from her recent illness. and has re-
Gently written paper which rs given
out by her pastor, Rev. J. G. Nichols.
I'm the Valley of the Shadow OF
DEATH" is her subject, to which the
writer was able to give a realistic
touch. She said she was taken Ill last
spring while locked up in room in
the Blaine mansion at Washington.
She felt she was falling and realized
something serious had seized her Her
most intense feeling was the shock her
friends would receive when they broke
open the door and found her dead
upon the floor. She felt the shock
would be lessened to them If they
should find her lying in a natural po-
sition upon the sofa, and she made a
mighty effort with her fast ebbing
strength to cross the room to the sofa.
She reached it, but stumbled and fell
on the floor beside it.
She realized the situation when her
friends found her and could hear them
as they spoke about her, although ap-
parently she was unconscious. Then
came long blank that lasted, how
long she knew not. At times she would
partly recover consciousness and won-
der whether she were dead or not
Her brothers, Stanwood and Brown
Dodge, both of whom are dead, one
of them dying less than year ago,
appeared to her and conversed with
naturalness. She sometimes felt she
would like to speak and inquire If she
was really I'm the other world, but
found it impossible to enunciate syl-
| la.blEs.
She felt no especial sorrow in leav-
ing life and laying down its burdens,
but she had a marked sympathy for
her relatives and friends who she knew
would mourn long and deeply at her
death.
DO not have a horror Of death, "
was her thought. "It Is blessed

SOME OF THEM STAND IN.
Ticket Brokers Do FIourishing
Business With Immigrants.

CHICAGO, Sept. 20.-A meeting of the
advisory board of the emigrant clear
ing house of the Western Lines Pas
senger association was held today to
hear the report of the committee which
lately visited New York for the pur-
pose of looking into the Irregularities
reported from them. The committee
unofficially reported, when its members
returned from New York, that they
found everything lovely and that the
reports of decentralization were badly
exaggerated. The meeting of today
hardly bore out these assertions, how
ever. 1t was plainly shown that the
brokers in both New York and Nm
Francisco are doing a large part of
the business, and, after the fashion OF
brokers, they are not doing Il at tar
iff rates. There is a strong suspicion
that some of the lines are standing in
with the brokers, but the evidence
was largely presumptive and it was
found impossible to take any action in
the matter 1t was agreed, however,
that some action must be taken at an
early date to relieve the tension un[ [>r
which the emigrant rates are being
maintained.

THE CIGARETTE TRUST.
Arguing for It's Suppression iEI
New York State.

New York State.
SYRACUSE, N. Y, Sept 20.-Joseph
H. Choate made one of his character
istic arguments before the attorney
general today in the case brought to
prohibit the American Tobacco COM
pany from doing business in this state.
He spoke for the defendant, and said
that the National Tobacco company
was the real mover in the present
ease, and that Whalen & Co. were
merely fgureheads. The public, he
thought, was little interested in the
controversy or its decision. Mr.. Choate
said he was prepared in advance to
hear law proposed which would limit
q mans accumulations, but there was
no such law now, and he hoped it
would be- long time before the people
so ,stultified themselves. He held that
the American Tobacco company was
doing legal business. 1t was not
contended, he said, that the cigarettes
of the American Tobacco company
were sold at unreasonable prices, but
the fact was that the company sold
so cheap that the real petitioner, the
National Tobacco company, could not
compete with it successfully. Mr.. Elm
stein replied to this argument, holding
that the defense was evasive and mere
sophistry. AT the conclusion of the
argument Attorney General Hancock
asked the attorneys to submit their
briefs within thirty days.
