Toward IL o'clock the market rallied
somewhat and II locked as II values were
to increase In anticipation OF the bank
statement, but at l1:15 the traders COM
menced to sell the market so that prices
dropped from Il to - OF point and
closed around the low figures.

CATARRHAL WEAKNESS.
Some Facts That Every Woman
Ought to Know.


Catarrh is a very frequent cause Of
that class Of diseases popularity known
as female weakness. Catarrh Of the
pelvic orgns produces such a variety Of
disagreeable and irritating symptoms
that many people-in fact the majority
OF people-have no idea that they are
caused by catarrh. A great proportion
or the women have some catarrhal
weakness which has been called by the
various doctors she has consulted as
many different names. These women
have been treated and have taken medi-
cires with no relief, simply because the
remedies are not adapted to catarrh. 1t
Is through mistaken notion as to the
real nature Of the disease that these
medicines have been recommended to
them. If all the women who are suffer-
ing from any form Of female weakness
would write to DR.. Hartman, Columbus,
OHIO, and give him a complete descript-
lon of their symptoms and the peculiar
tiles of their trouble, he will immed-
lately reply with complete directions
for treatment, free Of charge.
A book on Female Diseases, written
by DR.. Hartman, will be sent free to
any woman who wants it.

WOMAN RESCUES A BOY.
Brave Act of u Young Widow, Mrs
Mamie Northvvood of Milwaukee

Brave Act of Young Widow, Mrs.
Mamie Northwood of Milwaukee.
MILWAUKEE,, July Mrs. Mamie
Northwood, handsome young widow,
who lives at 100 Mason street, and came
to Milwaukee from Detroit about a
year ago, is the heroine of gallant
rescue at the Lake Park. Master
Charley DeFoe, of Rochester, N Y,
and his mother, were stopping In the
city awaiting the arrival Of Mr.. De-
Foe before going South. Yesterday the
lad and his mother were out atgthe park
Charley wanted to go out with two
other boys in row boat on the lake
Permission was granted and the boat
started. When the boys had got out
quite a distance from shore they at
tempted to change seats, with the usual
result in such cases, that the boat
capsized and the occupants were
thrown into the water. Two of the
boys could swim, but the DeFoe boy
could not, and he went down before the
eyes Of his mother, who stood frantic
with grief on the shore. No one made
move to rescue the drowning boy,
when suddenly the crowd parted and
tall, athletic-looking young woman
dashed through, throwing off her outer
wearing apparel as she ran. A knife
was handed her by a boy, and two
udSllCo u IAC Keen D1dQ0 rlppeQ the
laces of her Shoes and the next instant
she was in the water and swimming
grandly out to where the boy was
struggling. She reached him just as he
was going down for the third time, and
Selling him by the coat, lowed him to
shore. Nor did her services end there.
for, not caring for herself she directed
the effort to restore the half drowned
boy to consciousness. Today both the
victim and his rescuer are we'll and
feeling none the worse for the adven-
ture.
Mrs. Northwood takes her honors
modestiy. Of the rescue she said to-
day:
Il was never much of swimmer
and had never before swan that dis
lance. Had it been in sport I don't be-
lieve | would have attempted it; but
when | heard that mothers screams L
couldn't resist trying to save him. The
boy was dreadfully heavy, and L
thought several times my strength
would give out but I finally brought
him into shallow water and some one
took him from me. L feel a little tired
from the unusual exertion this morn
ing, but that is all. I am very glad
that / learned to swim when I was ny
ing up North.
