STOCK AND PRODUCE MARKETS.
A Raid by the Bears Brings Down the
Prices of stocks


New York Sept. 2O.-The stock market
was dun and comparatively neglected
during the greater part of the day and
the marked advances were confined to a
few special instances up to the final half
hour The bears encouraged by the lack
of activity in the trading and the rise in
the money rate, then fell upon the mar
ket and raided it to such good effect that
few active stocks escaped with net de-
cline less than a point, and in a few in
stances much larger losses were shown
as a result of the days trading. Tho
pressure to sell and the resulting declines
were especially heavy in the grangers.
The Vanderbilts and trunk lines, the
coalers and the leading Industrial shares
and specialties all shared in the weakness,
and nearly all showed declines of a point
or upwards Louisville which has shown
weakness recently on account of the yell
low fever scare, was an exception and

tion. B. & o. showed marked strength

' CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys
is the chief cause of bladder troubles. So
the womb like the bladder, was created for
one purpose, and if not doctored too much
is not liable to weakness or diseased, except
i'm rare cases. Itis situated back of and very
close to the bladder, therefore any pain
disease or Inconvenience manifested in the
kidneys, back, bladder or urinary passage is
often by mistake attributed to female weak
ness or womb trouble of some sort. The
error is easily made and may be as easily
avoided To find out correctly, set you
urine aside for twenty-four hours; a sedi-
ment or settling indicates kidney or bladder
trouble. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
kidney, liver and bladder remedy is soon
realized. If you need a medicine ySu should

LOCAL TRAFFIC
Oil Supply of the Southern
California Railway
TWO NEW BRICK DEP0TS
FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS TO
BE EXPENDED
Freight Business Boming-The Dow
enor Party Started East Without
Their Tickets

The report that the oil men contem-
plate closing down their wells for q
month with a view of securing higher
prices for their product was the chief
topic of discussion in railroad circles
yesterday afternoon. Both the Southern
Pacific and Southern California railway
companies are heavy consumers, par
ticularly the latter railroad, and upon
asking prominent official Of this road
what effect, if any, the proposed, action
OF the oil producers would have upon
them, he said: The Southern California
Railway company will not be effected
in the Least, no matter how long the pro-
ducers hold out. Yes, it is true we use
a great deal of oil-about $50 barrels
daily. OF our fifty-five locomotives,
there are fifty burning oil, but you sea
we have two large tanks here, each hav-
ing a capacity of 5,O00 barrels. These
are full, and at cur present raj te of con-
sumption that would supply US at least
four months. Then. too, our own wells
near Fullerton are increasing in output
daily. We are not at all afraid Of this
move the producers are discussing, for
1t would be almost next to an impossi-
bility now to cripple u.s. We have sew
eral con attracts with local dealers to sup
ply us with large quantity yet and al
prices much lower than you think We
are perfectly willing to pay a reasonable
price, but not above what coal woul,1
cost us. We have been making contracts
every day for all we can get, and are In
the market"
NEW BRICK DEPOTS
Extensive Improvements are under
contemplation by the Southern Pacific
Railway company of it's property at
dinerent points in Southern California
and II reports are true about $50. 900 will
be expended during the next few months
IN tnis direction. Every day plans are
expected from the Office Of the company's
chief architect in San Francisco for the
handsome new brick depots which are
to be built at Redands and Riverside
The new structures will be models of
architecture and equipped with all mod

two latter towns are highly elated over

DE GROOT DISGRUNTLED
TRIED TO VENT HIS SPLEEN ON
A REPORTER
Arrested and Released on $50 Cash
Bail-Financial and Physical
Drugs

W. e. de Groot has lately transferred
east to the west side Of Spring street.
Whether his interest on the west side
will be as big as that which he has been
accustomed to collect on the other re-
mains to be proved. Mr.. de Groot has,
at all events for the time being become
interested in drugs, and his store, which
was formerly Germain's is now known
as "The Dragon" Financial opiates
were served across the way, but Mr.. de
Groot has extended his talons-so to
speak-and has taken to dispensing
physical as we'll as financial aid.

aid concerning his transactions with the
late lamepted druggist, German, whose
shoes De Groot is endeavoring to occu-
py, having become possessed of his
stock.
On Monday last the reporter who was
detailed by The Herald to investigate
the departure of Germain and the sor-
row of his creditors, sought out De
Groot and politely asked him If he would
throw any light upon the transfer of the
Germain drug store to himself De
Groot replied with an oath that 1t was
none Of his (the reporter's) business,
and that he would tell him nothing.
With this the reporter departed.
(; De Groot, however, had had an op-
portunity of taking an accurate inven-
tory Of the reporters dimensions. The
reporter happened to weigh trifie more
than half De Groot's avoirdupois--ir
fact tips the scales at 120 pounds, while
De Groot is a heavy set man of probably
200.
De Groots next strategic move, after
he had perused the truthful account OF
the Germain-De Groot transactions in
Yesterdays Herald, was to send to the
reporter a polite message that he would
like to see him at his store.
The reporter complied, and at o'clock

Groot was anxious to be spared this in

De Groot was brought before Justice
Owens, who promptly demanded $50 cash
bail or $1O0 bond. De Groot had the
cash in his pocket, and will reappear
before the justice today for arraign-
ment on the charge.
The reporters only remark on the SUBJ
ject, beyond narrating the bare facts,
last night was: II was not hurt by his
violence, but my feelings are black and
blue!"
AS showing the animosity of the man,
the same reporter was in court when the
whilom druggist was brought in a pris-
oner. Stepping up to him, De Groot
made motion as II to throttle him, at
the same time saying, "Pd just like tc
choke you," but the presence, Of the
aforesaid big and burly officer acted as
deterrent, and no further overt demon
trations were made.

SIDEWALK oBsTRucT1oN1sTs
A Sweeping Order Issued by the Chief
Of Police

A war has been declared against all
decrepits, mendicants, popcorn vendors
and others who continually blockade
tn prominent street corners and doors
Of some of the stores and entrances to
the large buildings of the city. OF late
much complaint has been made to the
police department and as result yes
terday the chief Of police gave instruc-
tions to clear the sidewalks of every
person who comes under the class above
mentioned. Chief Glass also states that
the merchants must keep the walks free
from boxes and such goods, as the men
dicants and beggars hang around them
and appeal to the passers by at will
When approached by the officers they
are protected usually by the merchant,
the latter claiming the public have no
right to enter protest when he don't
care. The chief declares he will here
after enforce the new ruling.
