NEW YORK. Jan. - The development
90 business in the dry goods market,
FOR which sellers have been waiting. has
made iffic, r any progress during the
past week. and al the close the conduct
of buyers was marked by just as great
caution as before. There has been "a
very general iudispOsition 10 20 ahead Of
wen recognized requirements in either
cotton or w0Ollen goods. and even where
prices are admittedly as low as buyers
have any right 20 expect, seeing that
there are Instances OF all being below
actual cost of production. the future has
been largely left To take care of itself.
The market is entirely under the influence
Of the prevailing SfrlnEcncy IN the
money market and the uncertain iinan-
cial situation.

People often wonder why their nerves are
80 weak; why they get tired 80 essilys
why they start at every slight but
sudden sound; why they do not sleep
naturally; why they have frequent
headaches, indigestion and
PaIpItation OF the heart.
The explanation is simple. 1t Is found In
that impure blood which Ia contin.
uaIIy feeding the nerves upon refuss
instead OF the elements OF strength aud
yigor. In such condition opiate and
nerve compounds simply deaden and
do not cure. Hoods Sarsaparilla fecde
the nerves pure, rich, red blood; gives
natural sleep, perfect digestion, self.

true remedy for ell nervous troubles.

X Ray as a Cure.

Two Chicago physicians, Profs.
Platt and Wightman, claim to have
made a discovery which, il it prove
true, will not only be Of great value
to the medical world, but a blessing
to all mankind, They have made a
test with ROentgen's x ray Of various
disease germs and met with wonder
full success, the bacilli being routed
with little difficulty.
The germs Of eight OF the most
deadly diseases were put through
this test. A week has elapsed. They
have been fed and nurtured with the
greatest care. They have failed to
propagate or spread. thereby proving
that they are dead or have been
stunned. Diphtheria was slain OUT
right. There is no doubt of the ef-
feet in this case. The same flnal and
positive verdict 10 the Others has been
reserved for few days that the bac-
I'LL may have the best possible chance
to revive, and that every scientific
requirement of the experiment may
be fulfilled.
The bacilli used were selected with
the greatest care. Each group was
tested before preparation for the
slaughter. They were allowed to
culture" as the book language puts
it. Small colonies were put into
tubes, and with remarkable rapidity
the settlements could be seen with
naked eye to grow. The cholera as.
sortment was imported from Asia,
take1 from the body of victim: the
diphtheria from the throat Of fatal
case. All these precautions were
made lest the experiment be made
upon germs which were not at the
height Of activity.
1t is the purpose of the Chicape
scientists to put the remedy into &C
tual test 1t will first be applied to ;
patient with diphtheritic germs il
the first stage. They estimate thai
an exposure of half an hour at I'll,
outside will effect a cure. There /,
now being moved into the laborator,
the necessary machinery, and Tn,
! hope is that not only will the bacili
be driven from their hiding ant
. destroyed, but that the college pro
fessors will be able TO watch the &C.
l ton OF organs during the experiment
, This proving successful, the next tes
will be on tuberculosis. and SO OF

Fish Protection.

1t is to the interets OF all persons to
do all they can to protect the fish in
our streams, and to see that all vlo-
laters of the law are punished. The
law prohibits all bass fishing between
April lst and July lst; and prohibits
all SEEMING, ggging, trapping and
dynamiting and every other way OF
taking fish, at all times, except with
a rod, line and hook. The law is plain
enough.
l do earnestly request that all per,
sons will promptly notify me of any
violation of the law of which they
may have knowledge, so that the
guilty parties may be punished as the
law directs. w. T. MCBRIDE,
Fish Warden.

the one who tries to furnish a seven

WATER SUPPLY CUT O||FF|
Insurgents Use Dynamite iii
Havana With Dire Results
to the City.
Two Bridges Partly Destroyed
and Great CONSERVATION
Prevailed.
Food Poor and insufficient,
Causing Sickness and
Suffering.

HAVANA, June 15.-This city was
startled at 8 p. m. by the noise Of two
successive explosions which were heard
for several miles. Consideration pre-
vailed for time, as it was feared that
this was Q prelude to an attack OF q
series Of similar explosions. Excited
throngs rushed to the streets, while an
armed party proceeded in the direction
from which detonatiOns had been
heard. 1t was soon found that the
stone bridges Of Cristina and Coneha
and the aqueduct Of Fernando Septino.
We're the points that had suffered from
the dynamite. The bridges were par
TALLY destroyed, and the pipes on the
aqueduct, upon which the city is de-
pendent for it's water supply, were
much damaged. It cannot yet be stated
how extensive is the damage done Or
how long it will require to remedy 81 it.
The windows in many houses in the
city were shattered by the reyerbera-
ton of the ex ,losion. There is nc doubt
that the dynamite which caused this
wreck was
Placed by Agents Of the Insurgents.
It has been their determination, nm
nounced some time since, to cut off the
water supply Of Havana and so serve to
make it as nearly uninhabitable as posi-
BILE. The greatest apprehension is felt
Oh account OF the secrecy and effective
ness with which the insurgents have
been able to carry out the outrage. tt
is believed that the insurgents are bent
upon investing Havana by cutting off
as much as possible the supply OIL
necessities, though not by actually be-
sieging it. All fruits. vegetables and
fresh meats are unprecedently high
priced and difficult to obtain. Many
are suffering from measles and there is
much intestinal trouble among the in
habitants owing to poor and insufficient
food. The failure of the water supply
under these conditions is a dire ca
