Chicago Change,

Chicago, Jan. 6.-More attention was paid to the election of the officers of the board of trade than to regular business today, al though trade was not entirely neglected Prices had little support al, any time, the government report of Saturday, raising the figures on the last crop, having communi- cated a very discouraging tone to the mar ket. There was a rally during the morn ing on the stocks at Milwaukee showing a large decrease, but when it was learned that the reduction was caused by an ele- vator being declared irregular the moderate 59Ac, sold between 6eA and 59c, closing at 59459lsc, AM1c under Saturday. Cash wheat ruled firm and c higher early, but closed weaker with the futures.
 Corn-The government report was con sidered favorable to holders of corn, and although the market today was not always free from the influence of wheat, it was nevertheless affected by the report. The full gain in prices made during the morning was not retained throughout, but the days trade did not show any loss in values from Saturday, but, on the contrary, a slight gain was made. May corn opened at 2Ssc, sold between 2SB and 2834c. closing at 2SH QD2S3sc, a shade higher than Saturday. Cash corn was steady.
 Oats-The steadiness of corn was bene- ficial to oats, as it prevented them from weakness of wheat. A moderate business was transacted. May closed a shade high CT than Saturday. Cash oats were Ac per bushel higher
 Provisions-Products moved upwards again today. The early and late reports from the yards were encouraging. as they quoted a strong market and higher prices for hogs. Material gains took place in everything, but pork was the favorite. The close was Nhc higher than Saturday fol

Snn,s Cotton Review.

New York, Jan. 6.-The Suns cotton re- view says: Cotton rose points early, but later reacted closing at net decline of 2 to points, with the tone. quiet and the sales 109.600 bales. Liverpool was easier on the spot, but without quotable change. The port receipts were 23, 347 bales, against 37 ,962 pafes this day last week.
 fTodays features: It was small market with small fluctuations. One side Is afraid aiiidJthe other dare not, that is, neither side dares to operate on large scale, and both bulls and bears are satisfied with small scalp from day to day. There was a slight advance early in the day, owing to the Liv- erpeel advices which on the whole were not unfavorable, small receipts at the ports and the intervening lowness and covering of shorts. Later on there was a decline, 4nahnly owing to the depression in Wali street, which led not a few operators to clear the decks and await developments. Hhere is believed to be pretty good short interest, however. The present situation is regarded as less threatening. English spin nerss are carrying very small stocks, the crop; movement is small, and the bulls think 1t is only a question of time when the market will respond to conditions which they regard as distinctly favorable to their side of the argument.

Death of Two Jesuits.

The sad tidings of the deaths of Revs.
a. j. Tisdale and Carroll J.s Boone.
members respectively of the Society of
Jesus, and formerly residents of the
Novltlate, in this city, the former at
Denver, Colorado, and the latter at
Georgetown College, reached this
city recently. Father TisdaIe
was stationed here some years ago as
Rector of the Novitiate and during
his stay here amongst us of fifteen
years, he won the respect and high es-
TEEN of the entire community. He full
filled the duties of his responsible posi-
ton with great honor to himself. and
when failing health necessitated his re-
movai to more congenial climate his
departure filled the hearts of his his adj
Inlring friends with deep regret. He
was born in Philadelphia and entered
the Jesuit order when only fifteen wears
OF age ana soon rose to distinction i'm
the society by reason of his superior
mental capacity. Death i'm this case
ends the career of a good and humble
servant of God.
One of the most lamentable cir
cumstances attendant upon the
demise of Mr.. Boone, was the fact
that he had completed his studies and
was shortly to be invested with the in
sigma of priesthood in the Jesuit order
he was son of Mr.. Daniel Boone. of
Baltimore, and when quite Young
showed a disposition to cast his lot
with the workers i'm the Lords Vine
yard. After finishing the course at the
Novltiate in this city, he went
10 Woodstock and from there he was
sent TO Georgetown College to spend
several years in teaching. He was the
lool OF the students and his death east
deep shadow of gloom about that in
slltutlon. The deceased was quite a
young man and had gained distinction
IN ms studies. He had looked forward
Win great pleasure to his ordination.
Dut bowed humbly to the will of the
MASTER. May their souls rest in peace.

Seems as If all the things we like
disagree with us, and all the things We
don't like, agree with US. Dyspepsia
turks in most of the goDd things we
eat, and indigestion follows the gTatifi-
cation of appetite. OF course, it isn't
Natures. Nature does the best she can,
and ii a man will only help her little
bit at the right time, he may eat what
he likes and as much as he likes. Dr.
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are for people
who are troubled with indigestion.
Particularly for those in whom it man
ifests itself in the form of constipation
The pellets" are quick and easy in
their action. They are in perfect har-
mony with Nature. They effect per-
manent cure. You need take them reg
ularly only little while. After that,
use them occasionally when you need
them-when you have eaten anything
that disagrees with you. They may be
taken just as freely as you would take
water or any other necessity of life.
Once used they are always in favor.
