A horse can be ridden to death. tbs easy
to do it if you don't feed him and if you
work him when he is sick man may ride
himself to death in the same way. Hard
work is good thing for man whose daily
nutrition repairs the daily waste When he
begins to run down hill he had better look
out. When he begins to lose flesh, he will
himself more and more to keep himself
going. Spurs are bad things to use on either
horses or men. The man who is drawing
out strength and vitality faster than he is
putting it into his body needs Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. This is the
greatest blood maker and flesh builder in
the world. 1t is stimulating, purifying
tonic. It fills the blood full of richness and
helps all the digestive organs to do their
work. It brings good appetite, sound
sleep, solid muscle. It does not-like cod
liver oilAproduce only flabby, useless fat.
Corpulent people may take it without be-
coming more feshy. The man who is not
eating we'll, or working we'll, or sleeping
we'll, or resting Welt frequently needs moth
ing else. He can get it at drug stores. He
should not let the druggist persuade hin, to
druggists profit.
The CAUSE OF SIcKNEss.-When the doctor ie
called to see man. woman or child, his first
question is about the condition of the bowels. If
they have not been freely open he is sure to pre-
things, but this one thing he will do surely. He
knows better than any one else that nine-tenths
OF all human ailments come from the one cause
lyou that DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the
best and most successful cure TOT constipation.

very Objectionable course and not at all
justified by the negotiations of the
ministry with the American commits
sioners and French government"
The Standards s leading editorial deals
with the letter of the governor of the
Bank Of England to the chancellor of
the exchequer and says: IA more alb.
surd and mischievous letter has seldom
been penned by man in position of
high responsibility.
THE Impression Among Bankers.
The letter of the governor of the Bank
of England strengthens the impression
among the bankers that the government
intends to accede to the bimetallic pro-
posals later, and it is also interpreted as
a reply to request from the govern.
ment to the bank, asking the latter to
cooperate with the former. But it is
thought that the fall in the price of
silver since the letter was written may
change the program.
There is considerable dissatisfaction
on the subject among the stockholders
of the bank of England. Robert Ben.
son, the prominent banker, who holds
10000 Of stock as trustee, has notified
the bank he will sell, if the silver policy
is inaugurated, and he adds that other
trustees will do the same.

WALCOTT HAS HOPE.

Believes an International Agreement
Will he Secured.
WASHINGTON, Sept. lS.-First Assist.
ant Postmaster General Heath has re-
eeived letter from Senator Wolcott
in which the senator, who is at the
head of the international monetary
commission, speaks very encouragingly
Of the outlook for securing an interna-
tional understanding in behalf Of silver.
He refers to the decline in silver, which

position to the efforts of the commits
sion, but expresses the opinion that,
Notwithstanding this adverse influence,
an international agreement will be Sc

PRESS REPORTS CONFIRMED.

Overthrow Of Government Forces in
Guatemala Officially Announced.
WASHINGTON, Sept. lS.-A telegram
has been received at the state depart.
ment, confirming the press reports of
the capture by insurgents of the gov.
ernment position at Quezaltenango,
Guatemala. This place is about 30
miles back from the Pacific coast and
was one Of the most important govern
ment strongholds. United States Con.
sui Pringle, who reports the fact to the
state department., has asked for another
warship in addition to the Alert to
protect American interests in that
country, but the department believes
that the one already ordered there will
be sufficient for the present and will
await further developments before ad-
ding to the force. The Alert has not
yet left San Francisco, but is under
orders to hasten southwark. She will
touch at Acapulco en- route, SO as to
afford the state department. opportunity
to amend her orders if occasion should
arise.

REMEDY FOR CATTLE FEVER.
Denver Veterinarian Believes He Has Di
covered 1t in a Dip.

Denver Veterinarian Believes He Has Dis
covered It in a Dip.
DENVER, Colo, Sept. lS.-After many
months of effort and repeated expert.
ments, a cure for cattle fever has been
found. DIR. V. A. Norgaard of this city
is the discoverer.
The plan for dealing with the fever is
primarily to exterminate the insect
known as the "tick," which abound on
fever stricken cattle, and through the
means of which the disease is communi-
Gated. To do this the cattle are forced
to swim through solution in vat.
What the solution is, is not known at
the present time, but crude petroleum
is used. When the successful expert
ment was tried ~ head Of very sticky"
cattle were forced to swim through the
solution, and it was noticed that while
Standing on the drip board there
was almost a perfect rain of ticks
falling off the cattle. They were
put into a pen, and the next day
after the experiment was tried, rigid
examination was prosecuted, and the
examiners failed to find single live
tick in the whole herd. There was no
damage done the eyes or skin of the
cattle dipped, and not single bad ef-
feet resulted from the dipping. If the
new remedy proves TO do all that it is
claimed it can do, the cattle market
will experience somewhat of revolu'
ton, and about 100000 head of cattle
will be shipped north each year during
the now prohibited season, which ex.
tends from Feb. Is to Nov. 10. The
''fever line" from beyond the limits Of
which no cattle can be shipped to the
north during the prohibited period as it
now stands, stretches from ocean to
ocean, and Arizona, New Mexico,
Texas, Indian Territory, Arkansas,
Mississippi, Alabama, Virginia, part Of
West Virginia and Louisiana form the
district affected.

The speaker then proceeded to illus
trate the fact that Lincoln was the real
head of his government, though he sur
rounded himself with the abest advis-
ers of the country.
1.-The new administration was per-
picked at the outset with several inn
portant questions How to treat the
fugitive slaves when captured, but
above all, the subduing of the rebellion
of great extent Of territory, and peopled
with the best fighting race of the world,
the Anglo Saxon. Almost every court
secretly or openly favored the south,
the little kingdom of Prussia and the
magnificent empire of the car alone eX
cepted. The south had also as its al
lies, it's sWamps and marshes, and the
hot tropical sun The north conquered
the rebellion; every river was waded;
every mountain crossed; every harbor
taken; every gunboat sunk; every city
and fertilization taken, and every Off
Ger and soldier made prisoner. Mr.. Lin
coin was sent out to kill the dragon Of
national politics. He was not mistaken
he said that the carrying on of the
wal was us joo' IL w 40 tiiC s. S'''So'
task ever given a man to do. Who was
the man who performed this task? In
the first place he was a man not made
out of any foul mud? He was man of
great moral conviction, common sense
and independence. II he had not had
moral courage he would have been a
villain: If he had not had common
sense he would have been an impractic-
able dreamer. Had he not had indie
pendence he could not have carried the
government through the crisis
The speaker then eulogized in the
highest terms Lincoln's ability as a
public speaker, statesman and Chris
tian, emphasizing his great magma
nimity and honesty. The address was
frequently Interrupted by applause.

Yesterdays Rapid and Violent Advance
In Wheat.

In Wheat.
Chicago. Dec, 9,--Not since August,
1891, has any months delivery of wheat
sold as high as December did to-day.
1t rose from 1011s at the opening to
100 but in most irregular fashion. 1t
had many sudden backward slide, but
in the end rested at 1O7. January
wound up with a gain of three cents,
Nays advance was rs cents. Other
grain and provision markets were in
tluenced by the advance lin wheat.
Shorts We're alarmed by the announce
ment that the bull clique would ship by
rail all the wheat delivered it on De-
cember contracts and had also made
storage contracts In the east. There
was host of buying orders for Deem
Der at the opening, but there was no
wheat for sale. December closed yes
terday at 1904 but opening bids to-day
ranged from 1919 to 1H. There was
scramble among the shorts in Decem-
ber January and May. Before wheat
came out 105 was offered for December.
over 100000 bushels were taken before
a reaction ensued, December declining
to 10Sh, but again rose to 1916. Then
came the storm Within five minutes
and amid whirl of excitement, De-
cember was bid up to 1OS. 1t reacted
with jerk to 1867, then went up again
without a stop to 109 Probably as
much wheat was sold on this advance
as on the earlier one. After that the
market was quieter January opened
strong at from SO to 81 and sold as high
| as 81 during the excitement, an advance
of 51a cents since yesterday. 1t was
figured that the influences controlling
December also applied to January. May
also was very strong. 1t opened at 91@
91A, as compared with yesterday clos
ing price Of 90R Q90B, and had advanc-
ed at noon to 929s@92%. December dur
ing the final hours trading moved ir-
| regularly between 10S12@107 closing
nervous at the latter price. May had
reacted to 93Q92h at the close, while
January wound up at 94h.
| The further and exceedingly violent
advance in wheat, carrying the price
| for this months option actually 6
cents over the New York cash quota
| ton, provided additional stimulus to
the movement in speculative stocks.
When Chicago spectators are making
money in the grain markets, a good
share of their enthusiasm is apt to
overflow into securities, and the Chicago
wires to Wall street for day or two
| have told exactly this story.

THE ROWING SITU1TION.
Statement by Captain Payne whitne.

Statement by Captain Payne Whitney.
The -Harvard-C Cornell boating
situation is unchanged as a result Of
the meeting in Albany Wednesday Of
Captains Whitney, Goodrich and Col
son, and the crews of the three uni
versities are no nearer to or farther
from a race than before. Captain
Payne Whitney of the Yale crew reach
ed New Haven at an early hour yes
terday morning, and he said: "The
Yale navy management will have moth
ing to say at present. The delegates to
the conference in Albany Wednesday
talked over the condition of affairs and
will report them back to our universe
ties, but there is nothing definite de-
cided npon as a result Of the confer
ence."
The meeting Wednesday was of the
nature of talk and nothing further
will be done until Cornell is again
heard from. Captain Whitney will
confer with the other boating authori-
ties at Yale and will then await further
action by Cornell, which will undoubt-
eddy take the shape of a request for an
other conference.
On Yale's campus it Is believed that
Wednesdays conference opened up the
way for formal reply on the part OF
Cornell to Yale's challenge for a race
but that such a reply may be with
held until the second conference is call
ed
