Price Of sugar Must Rise.

A reporter of the United Press has seen
several of the leading sugar men about the
prospects of the sugar market. Mr.. Neville
Lubbock, head man in one of the chief CO.
lonial sugar firms and chairman of the
West India committee, said the supply of
the world from July, 1894, to July, 1895,
was about 100000 tons in excess of con
sumption. The supply from July, 1895, to
July, 1896, was estimated at 300, 600 tons
under the preceding year. The 100000
tons excess would not suffice to carry over
that year, and for the following year it was
difficult to see how anything like an ade-
quate supply could be forthcoming Prices,
therefore, must rise. The visible supply
of the world, now about 1905 tons, he
estimated would be reduced TO about 300,
600 tons by October. The shortage, he
added, was entirely due to the troubles in
Cuba

Quest of Miss williams Ended.

Maud G. Williams, Stonington's missing
girl heiress, was found in Montreal at noon
Saturday. Her brother, who was in the
city searching for her, identified her. The
girl is worn out physically and mentally.
On arriving in Montreal j. j. Dunn, tel
egraph operator, recognized the girl from
the description printed in the papers. The
operator followed her and kept watch of
the house she entered until he could get
word to the brother. Early this morning
he called at the house and talked with the
matron. 1t was then learned that the
young woman was Miss Williams. Then
Dunn cautioned the matrOn not to let the
girl get away, and Miss Williams was locked
in her room. Mr.. Dunn arrived at IL
o'clock with the brother. Miss Williams
resisted violently when her brother ap-
preached her and refused to go with him
She said she was afraid she would be put
in an asylum.

daring bank burglars, who, during his ca
reer, has stolen upwards of s., 900, 600 from

convicted Friday on the charge of burglary,
second degree, in breaking into the Middle

G. b. Downs, of the freight depart

digest. He lives at 80 Daniel Street,
and tells his experience in the follow

When l was Ia years old began to
be troubled with indigestion, which

better, until l found it hard to keep

Jtried to get relief, but met
with failure after failure until there
seemed to be no hope left. At last l
was persuaded to give Puritana trial.
The result was marvellous. 1t not
only relieved me, but it made me
perfectly well. Instead of being
doubled up with pain, Puritana has
given me a stomach like an ostrich,
that will digest almost anything.
There is nothing too strong for me to
say in favor of Puritana.

Saturday killing four persons and injuring
a fifth probably fatally. All were of one
family named Malm. Mrs. Malm, the wife

Minister a Murderer.
Black Career OF Rev. FrencIs Hermann
of salt Lake city.


shocking series of murders, which in
their brutality rival those of Holmes and
Durant, has been charged TO Rev. Francis
Hermann, pastor of the First Scandinavian
church of Utah. Last year the pastors
wife died, and he engaged Miss Clawson,
an attractive young woman of 20. to look
after his apartments in the church build
ing. In September last Miss Clawson sud
denly disappeared, and has not been seen
alive since. Immediately after her disap-
pearance, the pastor, although the weather
was hot at that season, ordered a big fire
built in the furnace in the basement of the
church. He sent everybody away and light
ing the fire himself, kept it going for hours.
Persons residing in the neighborhood de-
tected exceedingly bad odors at the time
and demonstrated with Hermann, but he
said he wanted to give the flues thorough
test before cold weather came. 1t was in
this furnace few days ago that the body
OF Miss Clawson, together with blackened
razors, butcher knife and part of wom-
ans clothing were found. The other vic
tim is Miss Annie Samson. She was en-
gagged to be married to the preacher, but
mysteriously disappeared in February last,
and it is supposed her body is concealed
somewhere about the church. The police
have found barrel, the head of which is
covered with blood. Hermann left Salt
Lake City the 18th for Kansas City, going
thence to DEBORAH, Ia, on a missionary
tour, and has not yet been located. He
has been married three times, and it is said
all his wives have died under suspicious
circumstances.
pair of overalls and a jumper which
Hermann was seen wearing the day he
built the fire have been unearthed in the
church cellar and are saturated with blood.

Grand Opera Magnates Fail.

After an extended and brilliant career as
operate and dramatic managers, after in
PRODUCING to the American public the
greatest actors and singers of Europe, after
presenting grand opera on more splendid
scale than it has ever before attempted in
this country, Messrs. Abbey, Schoeffel &
Grau, controlling the Metropolitan opera
house and Abbey's theatre in New York,
and the fremont theatre in Boston, have
found themselves in serious financial diff
culties, and have made an assignment for
the benefit of their creditors.
Their operate ventures since 1891 have
given them magnificent profits, but, with
two or three exceptions, their dramatic
undertakings have been most disastrous,
and the latter have not only swallowed up
all the great gains of the opera seasons, but
have run the firm into such debt that they
find themselves as firm and as indivdu-
ais, practically stripped Of every dollar
that they owned. The crisis was precipi-
tated by Mr.. Abbey's present serious i'll
ness.
The chief cause of the failure is the loss
incurred by the engagement of Lillian
Russell, which was in the vicinity of $780,
600.
The outcome undoubtedly will be that
the firm will drop their theatrical ventures
and confine themselves to grand opera, in
which they have been so successful.

Policeman shoots Two at a Clam

Policeman John Nerney, an old and
trusted officer of Attleboro, Mass, shot
and killed Michael Cennors and Daniel
Mountain at clam-bake in South Attic
boro Sunday. Information was received
at Attleboro that beer was being sold and
Nerney with others started for the grounds
in citizens dress.
In discussion which followed Nerney

Nerney drew revolver and threatened to
shoot Connors unless he adopted differ
ent attitude. Connors attempted to take
the weapon from Nerney and the latter
fired two shots at Connorss side and a
third shot at his head, which killed him in
stantly.
Mountain then made remark which in
furiated Nerney and moment later he too
was PROSTATE beside the dead body of his
friend. Nerney was quickly disarmed by
the other officers and placed under arrest.
COnnors leaves widow and seven chill
dren, and Mountain widow and four

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, Dec. little stock market
to-day was dominated by uneasiness
growing out of the latest sensational
phase in the Cuban situation and result
ing revived Congressional agitation
Business was larger than usual recently,
and the trend Of prices was toward n
lower level. The railroad stocks were
more active than the industrials, but the
features in point Of extreme fuctuation
were in the specialties. In this group
liquidation was clearly evideEt and some
material losses were scored. The declin-
ing tendency of the market was to a
slight extent accelerated by g firmer ten
dency in foreign exchange and by fall
ing off in east-bound shipments. Stop
orders were reached in n variety OF
shares, ACCOMPLISHMENTS shrdlu hhh
shares, causing n further Hnsettling OF
values, but in the regular railroad list
there was not any notable: pressure Of
long stock. The bond market displayed
acute weakness in the speculative issues.
The sales were 81 100000. Governments
developed considerable frnness in con-
trast to the heaviness OF the other securi-
ties markets. The sales were $45,500.

FREE CURE FOR MEN.
A Michigan Man Offers to Send His
Discovery Free.
Claims to be Benefactor to Weak
ened Mankind.

There is always more or less suspicion
attached to anything that is offered Tree
but somtimes a man so oyerf1ows with
generosity that he cannot rest until MS
discovery is known to the world, in order
that his fellow men may proht by what
he has discovered. 1t is upon this prin-
cinal that a resident of Kalamazoo,
Mich. desires to send free to mankind
prescription which will cure them of any
form of nervous debility; relieves them
of all the doubt and uncertainty which
such men are peculiarly liable to and
restores the organs to natural size and
vigor. AS it costs nothing to try the
experiment it would seem that any man,
suffering with the nervous troubles that
usually attack men who never stopped to
realize what might be the final result,
ought to be deeply interested IN remedy
which will restore them to health,
strength and vigor, without which they
continue to live and existence of untold
misery. AS the remedy in question was
the result Of many years research as TO
what combination would be peculiarly
effective in restoring to men the strength
they need, it would seem that all men
suffering with any form Of nervous weak
ness ought to write for such remedy
at once. A request to III. G. Odds, Box
1922, Kalamazoo, Mich, stating that you
are not sending for the prescription out
of idle Curiosity, but that you wish to
make use of the medicine by giving it
a trial, will be answered promptly and
without evidence as to where informa-
ton came from.
The prescription is sent free and al
though some may wonder how Mr.. Odds
can afford to give away his discovery,
there is no doubt about the offer being
genuine. Cut this out and send to Mr..
Odds so that he may know how you came
to write MIN.
