w. A. Erwin and w. w. Shaw, was APP
pointed to map out the work Tor the
meeting. After an absence of a few
minutes the committee returned and
brought with them the honored guest

appearance was the signal for per
feet storm Of applause.
In a few happy and pertinent re-
marks, Mr. Minis introduced the vice
presidential candidate. Mr.. South
gate understands well the use of
words and on this occasion was at
his very best. Feelingly and eloquent
" he thanked his friends and neigh

then addressed himself to the conven-
ton from which he had just returned
and the mission of the party that had
honored him. 1t is for free silver, 10

Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshtield, Mo-,
- writes: "For six years / have been a
sufferer from scrofulous affection OF
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, ID. C.,
Springfield, ILL.,, and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After SIX
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re-
mova1 of the gland. At this critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside a deep-rooted pre]u-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its use. Before had used one bot
1fle the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though am
mot through with my second bottle yet.
Had l only used your SIS. long ago,
I would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $3.50"
This experience is like that OF all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. SIS. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root OF
the disease and forces it out perna-
nently.

MANIPULATORS FOUND THE GEN
ERAL LIST WAS NOT EASILY
PULLED DOWN.
GOOD LINE OF NEW SHORTS

TONE.
RESULT WAS IRREGULAR PRICES.
The Close Was Steady With Aver

Low Level.

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-Today's stock mar
ket, read between the lines, Indicated change
IN the character Of speculation. Operators
who had figured prominently in the original
bull movement decided at the close of last
week that reaction in prices was impending
and sold out their holdings. Efforts, begun
yesterday to bring about a decline and create
new short interest. were continued today
In the early dealings. The manipuIators dis
covered, however, that stocks were not easily
dislodged and promptly reversed their posi-
lions. The regulation BEARS however were
not as sensitive to the general temper and
put out quite q line OF new shorts. The
result was an irregular movement of prices.
The market was fairly active and the dis
tribution OF the transactions was better than
for some time past. The opening was lower
under the influence of realzations and offer
iDgs for the foreign account. The grangers
and specialties displayed the greatest heayi-
ness. The reactionary movement was facil-
itated by firmer market for foreign ex-
change, actual rates for long and short bills
diverging further from the natural gold i'm
port point. This condition was the logical
outcome of the easier market for commercial
paper. which increases the demand for ex-
cnange. The low level induced heavy pur-
chases for both accounts, material increase
IN commission house buying being noted
The low priced shares were in especial favor
and large blocks of Reading changed hands
at substantial advances. The other eoalers
improved alphabetically. The publication
OF the Burlington statement gave decided
impetus to the general upward movement
as the exhibit was decidedly less discouragng
than had been expected. The activity sub
sided to considerable extent in the after
noon dealings, but the upward tendency was
still in evidence. The advance from the low
point averaged per cent or thereabouts with
a partial reaction at the close. The market
left off steady. The bond market displayed
aggressive strength on investment and specu-
lative dealings with the greater activity in
the Reading issues. The sales were $1667,-
600. Governments ruled firm on dealings of
SIC. coo. Silver certificates we're a shade
higher at 66A on dealings of $11. 600.
The total sales Of stocks today were $780,
244 shares, including the following: Tobacco

COAL CoMBINE HOLDS OUT.
Only Low Freight Rates to Make
Low Prices.

The only hope of the people in Sc
curing lower rates on hard coal for the
winter seems to be in the railroads,
for the coal combination certainly does
not show any evidence OF relenting.
Prices on hard coal this winter promise
to be about 81 higher than those of last
winter. The combine which controls
the hard coal market cannot be ex-
pected to show any signs of philan-
thropy in the light of past experiences.
If Consumers pay more this year for
the anthracite product, they can vent
their anger on the monopoly, as the
railroads have shown desire, small as
1t may be, to bring down the price. of
freight, although it is known that they
might still knock off another so cents
and yet reap a large revenue from the
winters business. In the impoverished
condition of the country at present,
even reduction of so cents in the
price of coal would be a boon to fami
lies who are compelled to buy from 10
to 40 or 80 tons each winter with which
to heat their homes. But the eastern
railroad systems, especially the Read
ing and the Lehigh Valley control the
anthracite mines of the east and 1t is
not to be expected that, while they
have the power to do so, they will
reduce the price Of their own products.
The people of ST. Paul and Minneapo-
lis are In reality Disseminated against.
Coal laid down in the Twin Cities costs
more than coal in other cities Of lesser
magnitude, although the haul to this
city is shorter. For instance, the rate
from the head of the lakes to ST. Paul
on hard coal is 1.50 per ton. This rate
has been in effect for months and is
rarely changed although within the
year the tariff on nearly every other
commodity has been materially re-
duced. shipper can import into st.
Paul and Minneapolis any commodity
at smaller cost, proportionally than
hard coal. Even soft coal, which costs
less to handle and carry, is carried by
the roads from the head of the lakes
for rs cents ton. Hard coal is carried
from Chicago to the Missouri river for
81. There is corresponding scale from
there to Sioux City and Sioux Falls, but
no reduction is granted for the Twin
Cities. Consumers are complaining
Justify that there is gross diScrimin-
alton somewhere. Some say the rail-
roads are not doing the proper thing.
The fault, however, may be and pre-
sumably is, with the coal combine The
immense docks at the head of the lakes
are controlled by these combines, and,
although they have an endless supply
OF hard coal on hand, and comparative
ly low freight rates, they indicate no
intention of lowering the price of the
anthracite product The result of the
meeting now in session in Chicago Of
Northwestern freight agents for the
purpose of rechecking coal rates to
this and contiguous territory is await
ed with interest and expectancy. In
view of past history it is not at all
likely that st. Paul rates will be at all
lowered. The combine, in point of fact,
controls the entire situation, and the
eastern trunk lines seem to have
powerful influence over their western
connections.

Decrease.
THEY WANT 1N-ERcHANGEABLEs.
Roads Are Conceding the Demands
of the Drummers.

Slowly but surely the agreement be-
tween the railroads, excluding the in
Interchangeable mileage books from use,
is being broken, and already three
roads running into Chicago have REIN
stated the coveted books into general
use. The Interchangeable mileage
book was one of the greatest things
ever offered travelling public, es-
pecially to the commercial travellers.
The books were good over large num-
Der of roads and saved the traveller a
vast amount Of annoyance, although
they caused the passenger auditing de-
partments of the railroads some little
extra labor A few months ago the
roads abolished the use of the books,
and Immediately a great wall went up
from the travelling men. They have
been very busy ever since in the hope
Of getting the books back again. One
by one the roads are restoring the
books. and it is expected the North
western lines will follow soon. Under
proper restrictions the books are a
benefit to the commercial travellers.
