Something to Depend On.

Mr.. James Jones. of the drug firm o
Jones & Son, Cowden, ILL.,, in speaking OF
DR.. Kings New Discovery, says that last
winter his wife was attacked with la
grippe, and her case grew so serious that
physicians at Cowden and Rama could do
nothing for her. 1t seemed to develope
into hasty consumption. Having Dr..
Kings New Discovery in store, and sell
ling lots OF it, he took bottle home,
and to the surprise OF all she began to
get better from first dose, and half dozen
dollar bottles cured her sound and we'll.

BosToN, Mass, October %, 1S9

BosToN, Mass, October 25, 1897.
The stock market last week was a pro-
fesslonal affair. In the early part OF the
week prices took an upward turn and it
looked tor while as though the recent
bull movement had been resumed. Such
proved not TO be the case. however, as
the bear traders seized upon the oppor-
tunIty to sell stocks and the buying
power disappeared almost as suddenly
AZ it began, Rumors OF complications
with Spain appeared to effect the market
more than anything else and the cables
were reported hot with diplomatic cor
respondence between Madrid and Wash-
ing ton. Little or no attention was paid
TO the yellow fever epidemic in the south.
At some places the quarantine has been
raised, but at New Orleans new cases
and a large ratio OF deaths are reported
daily. The authorities undoubtedly
have the scourge we'll 10 hand and no
frars are expressed that it will spread,
while cooler weather in the south will
assist in terminating the life OF the die
ease at an early date. The principal
topic OF discussion in stock ex-
change circles was the coming fore
closure sale OF the Union Pacific road,
and there were many grouudless tales of
opposition syndicate- forming to bid
Tor the property. The stories animated
from an attamnt IN tho mart IF ono of
the more sensational newspapers Of New
York TO work up popular excitement in
the matter, on the theory that the gov
eminent was being robbed. The en-
deavor to upset the plans OF the reor-
ganization committee and reverse the
order OF the courts relative to the fore
closure sale were exposed and in
telligent persons were not long in soly-
ing the Intention of the promulgators of
the scare. The assent on the part OF the
security holders TO the reorganization
plan has been almost unanimous and
congress has neglected to take any pos
tive action regarding the government's
lien, so it would be impossible for any
outside prrties TO Interfere with the sale
or TO comply with thu terms thereof.
The business situation continues to i'm
prove; slowly, but nevertheless surely.
While there is no denying that trade
might be good deal better and that
current prices admit small profits, yet
the period OF stagnation and actual de-
preston has passed and we are now on
the up grade az regards commerce, in
dustry and finance. Merchants are no
longer retarded by fears OF tariff legsla
ton and the movement OF trade ia free
from other restraints while capitalists
are showing their confidence in expand
ing investments outside OF the limited
circle OF gilt-edge municipal. and State
bonds. The railroads are doing large
business and are earning and paving
larger dividends. The readiustments of
the past few years have accomplished a
good deal towards bringing about the
present favorable condition OF the rail-
road security markets and investors

Animal Trials by Jury.

Among the beavers it is undoubted
that courts were held and judicial
functions exercised and the sentences
carried out with most exact discipline.
This is proved by the fact that near
to every beaver settlement there exist
a class of what are called " bachelor
beavers" This is composed of two
sections-old males who had lost their
mates and were held to be no longer
of true use to the community and
Younger "bachelors " who had been
expelled from the settlement for mis-
conduct, idleness and laziness, more
generally theft, and by jury awarded
a sentence of perpetual exclusion, a
/, kind of penal servitude, which all the
community of beagers were bound to
ioin in order to see thoroughly carried
out.
These /" bachelors " live alone,
not in warm houses protected by
dams, as in community, but in holes
in the banks of the rivers-prisor
cells, in fact-where they just manage
to live, and where they can at plncf
succeed in storing sufficient winte
food. Sometimes their privatlon
must be great, but there is no escape
for them. If they endeavor to buil'
a proper beaver house-at all events
within ken of any of their old assocl
ates-it is reported, and it become
the bounden duty OF the members c
the community to turn out and des
troy what has been done.

BASE BALL NOTES.

ONLY one more month and then
will come the opening of the big |
league, when the excitement will be |
at fever heat all over the country, as
base ball is the national game, and IN
fact, when science is considered, it
is the only game there is. There are
of course many different kinds OF
sport, such as foot ball, basket ball,
and other games, but the result in
these depend as general rule IN the
weight. Now take foot ball for in
stance, it doesn't matter how well the
men are trained, nor how hard they
have worked and practlced to get in
condition, if they are pitted against
team, nearly twice as heavy, nine
times out of ten the latter will win,
and perhaps they had devoted no
time practice at ALL But not SO with
base ball. No team can play well
without practice, they have to be
good sprinters, quick with the eye,
and have their mind continually on
the game. And then another thing
to be considered is roughness. Why
foot ball is conceded to be worse in
this respect than prize fighting, TINS
may seem queer to many but yet 1t Is
undoubtedly true, to witness game
will convince you of this fact. How

and digester of foods happily COM

The Importance of this invention

what proportion of the community
are victims of some form of stomach
troubles. Thousands of pale, thin
people have little inclination to eat,
and what they do eat causes them
pain and distress.
This Digestive Cordial of the
