Copper Stocks.

The market for copper stocks has been
booming this week aud prices have taken
IA Jump upward which bids fair to eouaI
the speculation of last year. The advance
in copper - the primal cause, but prices
have ruled so low during the past few
months that they have been selling below
their normal value, and offer a wide mar
gin for an advance. Boston & Montana
has been very active and to the average
speculator offers more inducements than
any other on the list; consequently il
takes the lead in the market. In the
early part OF the week there was yery
little doing in it, and prices held around
$7SMS79, but the last three DAYS il in
creased in activity and today the price
was forced up TO $SS, with reaction to
$50, and closing at sS6H@$S7. Over
10000 shares were dealt in Old Domin-

from 800 TO S97. but the bid at the close
was 500. Osceola had good advance.
selling from $26h to $30R with an active
demand and closed firm. Kearsarge ad-
vanced TO Sl4 and held the advance.
Atlantic was also in demand and sold M
to S22, an advance of So for the week.
Franklin sold in n small way at SI3.
There IL no speculation in this stock at
present.
Tamarack Junior. which sold at 50 last
week, was up TO $13l today and in far
request. Tecumseh also came out and
sold at $3M s3h. Wolverine was fairly
active at $7h@$7%. Butte & Boston.
which last year was an active stock, in
now back number, with few sales at

The gold stocks were fairly active, with

He frankly admits that he wants q
cheaper dollar, saying. ''ro me there
is no possible source of relief (from the
low prices Of farm products) except
through the medium Of dollar with
less purchasing power"
With considerable ingenuity Mr..
Boies states his reasons for favoring free
silver. Summed up they are: That a
large number of farmers owe money
which they cannot now pay, but if the
purchasing power of money were 10 be
reduced one-half these debtors could
pay off their creditors and become indie
pendent That this might be done under
free silver at l6 to is doubtless true.
The question remains, Would il be just
and honesty
AS To the honesty of the proposition
there can be no question. IL is greatly
20 be regretted that some of the Iowa
farmers are poor and ia debt But is
that any reason why the government
should pass law making other people
poor? Ii is certain that the liquidation
of one-half of the mortgages ON Iowa
farms would ruin thousands whose little
savings have been loaned out by banks
and loan companies. Have they nc
rights in the matter? When did the
poverty Of the farmers CT of any Other
class become an excuse for violating the
law, Thou shalt not steal?' For is il
anything else but stealing, if the gov.
eminent takes from creditors half of
the property they have loaned and gives
ii 10 their debtors?
The question as tn the ultimate effect
ON the farmers themselves of admitting
as principle of legislation the repudia-
ton of just debts need not be discussed
The American peoples sense of honor
and fairness and their respect for prop
erty rights have not yet disappeared.
with the poor and unfortu-
nate, such as Mir. Boies expresses in his
letter, is noble and praiseworthy. Per-
verted sympathy, which seeks TO help
one class or set of persons by robbing
other people, is immoral and danger
ously near TO the vagaries of an unbal-
anced mind.

Electricity.

Emerson says that language is fossil
poetry and Mr.. Park Benjamin in a re-
cent book on electricity thinks he has
found i'll one of these fossils the clew to
the discovery Of electricity, which he
credits to the women of Syria. Their
wheels were made of amber, to which
they gave the name of 1.-THE clutcher, "
and Mr.. Benjamin thinks this must
have been because they noticed that it
drew to itself the dust or bits of leaves
or chaff, or even the light fringe of their
clothing. This was because the amber
became electrified by rubbing against
their loose garments as the spindle de-
scended. He says:
"The spinner easily saw this because
the chaff would leap up to the excited
resin and, moreover, unless she were
careful, the dust and other substances so
attracted would become entangled in
her thread. Therefore she called her am
Der spindle the clutcher, for it seemed to
seize those light bodies as if it had in
visible talons which not only grasped,
but held. This was probably the first in
telligent observation of an electrical ef.

There was an old colored man who
was general factotum at certain
summer hotel. Whoever rose early in
the morning was certain TO find him
among the flowers and his cheerful
"Good mawnin, sah," was by no
means the least pleasant thing about
a very pleasant establishment. How
ever, people are seldom hired for the
simple task of saying ssGood morn

gardner did not appear to be oner-
Gus. Moved by curiosity as to what
else he might have to do, one of the
guests paused in his morning walk to
question him.

G. b. Downs, Of the freight depart

at Portsmouth, knows what it is to
suffer from hunger with food within
reach, which he could eat, but not
digest. He lives at 80 Daniel Street,
and tolls his experience in the follow

When / WAS Il years old began to
be troubled with indigestion, which
as grew up became worse instead of
better, until ! found it hard to keep
any food on my stomach. Everything

1 did not look like dyspeptic and so
did not get much sympathy.
1 tried as many as 4 dozen different
things, bat they all failed to cure me,
and like a drowning man was ready
to catch at any straw Offering the
least hope of rescue. Then 1 tried
Puritana and was not only relieved by
it from the pain, but III o short time
completely cured Of my indigestion.

hurting me, and I found that Puri-
tana had given mo new stomach
that would digest any food. l believe
