Prominent People Cured.

The papers have, almost daily, chroni-
cled the wonderful recoveries of promi-
nent and highly reputable citizens from
ailments that had dragged them in such
close proximity to the grave until they
had begun to look upon this life as hav-
ing been done and prepared to enter into
the dark and unknown realms of the
other world
Being impressed with the many amaz-
ing reports of Abbo and his curative pow
ers, News reporter visited the Abbo
Institute for the purpose of furnishing the
public some reliable information concern
ing the doctor over whom so many peo-
pie seem to have gone wild. The visit
was pleasant one and resulted in gain
ing much intelligence from a medical
standpoint and at the same time ascer-
tanning the fact that Abbo as a practi-
toner of medicine, had mastered his pro-
fession and is qualified to occupy a posi-
ton second to none Upon entering the
waiting room the first thing to favorably
impress the News man was the large num-
Der of persons in waiting, and among
whom he recognized several of our old
est, best known and highly respectable
citizens. Some of them we had pleasant
chats with, and the stories they told of
the remarkable results of Abbos treat
ment sounded like fairy tales or the rem
iniscences of the days of witchcraft, and
were it not for the fact that the reporter
was furnished Names addresses and other
data that were beyond contradiction,
some of the statements he heard might
have been attributed to what the boys
would designate as wheels"

The Proofs Are Convincing.

But the proofs of Abbo's wonderful work
are convincing and even the most skepd-
cal cannot doubt their truthfulness. When
our lady friends, whom we had known for
years, and had noticed with distress their
steady decline in health and form, as
sert with an earnestness that leaves no
room for a suspicion of doubt that their
recent increase in weight, in some in
stances of eighteen and twenty pounds,
and the return of their once familiar rosy
cheeks and their renewed energies and
spirits were due to Abbo's skillful treat
ment of their complaint, what more or
better proofs of his power could we ex-
pect? We interviewed a number of our
lady friends who, taking advantage or
the establishment of the institute had been
treated for complaints from which they
had suffered for years and that seemed 10
battle the skill of their family physicians.
In every instance we were met with glow
ing accounts of the benefits derived from
Abbo, land while not caring to have their
names in print these ladies expressed
their opinions that enough could not be
said in praise of the Abbo Institute and
it's wonderful doctors.
Herald the news to all your readers,
said one popular young belle, that they
may be made aware that there is a means
of release from sufferings and affiiction,
and it lies in their visiting Abbo and al
lowing him to exert his skill, which has
always the result of mastering disease"

( NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-The stock
market was more active than usual
today, and the distribution Of the deal
ings was also wider than Of late. The
industrials held the first place in point
of activity, as a group, but fair vol
ume of business was also transacted
in number Of the specialties and
leading railway shares. Manipulation
was again distinct feature in the op-
erations. The course Of prices was ir-
regular and the fluctuations wide in
many instances. The market displayed
decided strength at the outset. Lon
don prices came higher and the local
sentiment was affected, in addition, by
the publication of International trade
figures which afforded a clear expla-
nation for the bulk of the recent gold
imports. This fact was supplemented
by the news of actual engagements
OF gold aggregating 81, 1850, 900, and by
cabled estimates of impending exports
of gold to this country in the near fu-
ture extending to 100000 600. Pur-
chases for both accounts caused ad-
vances all around, with the lndustrials
leading. The investment stocks were
In fair request, and some striking ad-
vances occurred in the inactive list.
Illinois Steel was conspicuous for wide
fluctuations. The stock rose 3ak to 45.
broke subsequently to 4Om, and rallied
to 41%. The bulls retained control of
the market until the early afternoon
and marked Sugar up to 100 and st.

gains OF IWl1s per cent. A feature of
the trading was unusual activity in

PORTS.

President j. ]. Hill, of the Great
Northern says the agreement which
has been entered into between the
Nippon YUsen Kaisha Steamship COM
pany, of Japan, and his road will have
the effect of driving Russian wheat out
of the Chinese and Japanese markets,
for the reason that Russia cannot COM
pete with the grain shipped from the
great states of Washington and Ore
gon. Mr.. Hill says that Russia cannot
ship wheat to China unless she hauls
the grain over the new Siberian rail-
way, which means trip of 5000 miles,
at rate Of p cents per ton per mile,
which would mean S110 per ton deliv-
cred at the seaboard. The United
States, says the president, gives the
lowest rates on freight of any coun-
try in the world, the rates being 81
cents per ton per 100 miles.
Asked why the Great Northern es-
tablished a traffic agreement with the
Japanese company, instead of putting
on a line of its own ships, Mr.. Hill
said that the Japanese company has
practically monopoly on the coastwise
trade of China and Japan, and could
create so strong a competition that it
would be dictator of terms on ship
ments for foreign delivery. The Nippon
Yusen Kaisha has scores of ships run
ming on long established routes.
Mr.. HilPs western trip was partly
to look over the shipping terminals
and to gain an insight into the gen
eral maritime situation. He prophesies
that the Nippon Yusen Kaisha line will
have a powerful influence in building
UP trade on the sound.

GRAND TRUNK ANNUAL.
Report of the President Adopted
After Some Explanations

LONDON, Oct. 14.-There was a large at
tendance today at the annual meeting of the
Grand Trunk Railway of Canada The presi-
dent. Sir Charles Rivers Watson said he had
been accused Of ordering an expensive new
car. Such car, he admitted, had been con-
structed; but, he added he did not think any
attention would have been paid to the cir
cumstance had It not been for the lively
imaginations of Canadian reporters. Con-
tinuing, the president said it was also charged
that he was Americanizing the system, while,
as a matter of fact, very few American off,
cials, considering the large staff, had been
appointed Later Sir Charles begged the
stockholders to be patient, pointing to the
fact that times were not prepitious although
the horizon, he said, seemed to be clearing
The Americans, he. explained, were in the
throes of financial crisis. but possibly in
few weeks the crisis would be over and
from information which he had received he
believed that the result would be triumph
for sound financial principles, which would.
in his opinion. bring about revival of busi-
ness in which the North American railroads
would share. Finally, the president said that
he wished it to be distinctly understood that
no scheme for reconstruction would be enter
tanned by the board of directors. The an
nual report was adopted

New System to Be Adopted by Vest
ern Railroads.

Publishers Of cheap periodicals, the
atrlcal programmes, catalogues, ETC.,
who have been reaping a good thing
from the railroads will find their per-
quisites cut off after the 1st of Jan
uary, 1897, for the Western Passenger
association has taken action looking
toward reorganization of advertising
methods Some time ago a special
committee was appointed to consider
some method for the better control of
advertising arrangements. The COM
mittee has filed its report with Com
missioner Caldwell, of the Western
Passenger association, and the latter
makes the recommendation that all
the suggestions be followed closely.
This will bring about a radical depart
nre in advertising methods.
The committee recommends that
railway advertising in publications is
sued by organized societies, associa-
uons. commercial bodies. trade organi-
cations. theatrical, amusement or base
ball companies and other similar bod
les. or programmes, prospectusses, etc..
or display advertising mediums. be
cut off after Jan. 1. The committee
believes that the class of advertising,
whether paid for in cash, or part in
cash and part in transportation. has
been equivalent to unauthorized re-
ductions of agreed rates, and has
brought about undue and preferential
control Of business. The committee.
therefore, recommends that no men,
Der of the Western Passenger associ-
alton shall advertise in any such pub
lication after the date named, and
after that time advertising shall be
confined to regularly published STAN
dard newspapers and periodicals of
general circulation, published at reg
ular intervals. In contracting for
advertising in such publications. it
shall be stipulated that transportation
Issued in full or part payment shall be
confined to the bona fide proprietors,
editors, officers, employees and attaches.
or the members of their immediate
families. The committee also recon-
mends that after Jan. 1 no member of
the association shall publish or par
ticipate in an advertising medium for
the purpose of having the effect of an
unauthorized reduction of agreed pas
senger fares or an undue control of
any kind of traffic. Other recommen-
dations along the same line are made
and 1t is suggested that the appear
ance of any advertisement in any of
the class of publications barred shall
be prima facia evidence that the rule
has been violated and serve as a basis
for the preference of charges against
the offending line. Further that no
transportation shall be issued at re-
duced rates on account of advertising.
Another report by the same commit
tee recommends the restriction of
transportation to land and emlgrant
agents. and that such transportation

Of the Western Passenger association,
in charge of the advertising rates and
transportation, has recommended that
free or reduced transportation shall not
