The readersof this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been able to cure IN all its
stages, and that is CatarIh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the medica
paternity. Catarrh being a constitutional dis
ease, requires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foundation
os the disease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing its work. The proprietors have
so much faith in its curative powers, that they
offer One Hundred Dollors for any case that it
ails to cure. Send for list OF testimonials.

Poor PADDY.-Paddy Roman is dead
having passed away with November
while under the sheriff's charge.
Sheriff and Mrs. Caldwell did every
thing possible tor him, and the in
mates of the Jail gave him the best 'ot
care. Paddy was a we'll known char
acter, he was over fifty years of age,
and came to Mason County about ten
yeas ago, from Montana, where he
claimed to have been interested in a
mining claim with brother. He was
an expert powder man." and was EN-
ployed on railroad construction in this
county, at good wages Several years
ago he became confirmed drunkard,
and since then has passed through the
stages until the end. Poor Paddy! he
was subject for compassion, honest,
generous, good hearted; he had the
elements of true man; if his associ-
ates had but helped him up, instead OF
encouraging his appetite and forcing
him down. Here is temperance lect-
ure, which needs no further words.
Paddy's remains were buried IN the
public grounds Wednesday morning,
followed by a few friends who had
not forgotten him.

MEANING OF THE "sEvEN SEAS
Tracing Mr.. Kipling's Title Back tt
the Bible and Zoroaster

To the Editor: Sir-In reply to the
question, ''What are the Seven Seas?' y
1 may state that the phrase has been
familiar one among the Iranic and In
dian Aryans from the earliest mythology
ical traditions of these races. Their
,original "seven seas" are entirely
NEUROLOGICAL; and the earliest geo.
graphical "seven SEAS" or hapta -hinda-
vas Of the Zoroastrian Persians, the sa-
basin Of the Mahometan Persians, are the
streams (whatever their number) form
ing the river Oxus; while the earliest
geographical "seven seas" or sapta-
sindhavas of the Hindus, are usually
identified with certain of the so-called
five waters" of the Punjab, with or
without the addition of the Indus, Jum-
ma, and Ganges. But in India, as in the
east generally, the number seven,
through the sacredness attaching to it.
has come to mean also "all," whole, y
completion perfection" etc. Thus
among the Mohametans, sabatu-ahruf
"the seven dialects" refers actually tc
the perfect" Arabic in which the
Koran was revealed to the Prophet Ma
homet; and. among the Hindus. sapt-
naja. literally "the seven grains" means
a hodge-podge Of every variety Of pulse

CHICAGO MARKETS

CHICAGO, Dec. 9.-Not since August,
1891, has any months delivery of wheat
sold as high as December did today. 1t
rose from $1.01ls at the opening to $1.09.
but in most irregular fashion. 1t had
many a sudden backward slide but in the
end it rested at s1.07, or the net increase
of CSC 70. the day. January was a good
second, winding up with a gain Of cents.
May was less demonstrative in its bull
lishness. Its advance was 1%c per bushel
Other grain and provision markets were
more or less influenced by the advance in
wheat. Corn and oats closed &c higher
each, and provisions 5@71ac higher.
: Wheat was very nervous at the start.
Shorts were evidently alarmed by the an
nouncement that the bull clique had made
arrangements to ship by rail all the wheat
delivered them on December contracts, and
had also made advantageous storage con-
tracts in the east. The consequence was
there was host Of buying orders for De-
cember at the opening, most of moderate
lots, 1t is true, but they had the same ef-
feet on the already strained market as IL
they were for millions. There was no
wi eat for sale. December closed yester-
day at $1.01A, but opened today ranging
all the way from 1.011s to 1.04, and at the
top there was scarcely bushel to be had.
This precipitated perfect scramble among
the shorts, not In December alone. but in
January and May also. Before wheat
came out, LOS was offered for December.
Then came a lull. which lasted for an
hour. The brokers operating for the bull
clique attempted to stem the tide, but from
100000 to 2bo0oo bushels were taken before

lar expression of opinion on the sub
ject should meet with a hearty response
on the part Of the people. The news
papers have already performed their
duty in the matter. Labor organiza-
tions, too, have very generally given
consideration to the subject and with
almost unanimous voice have asked for
postal banks. It remains now for other
bodies, especially those representing the
commercial interests of the country, to
give their approval to the agitation,
in order that congress may be assured
that the sentiment of all classes IN the
nation Is virtually in favor of the early
establishment of these much-needed IN
stitutions for the safe-keeping OF the
savings of persons of moderate means.
It may be true that the commercial and
business classes of the country nave not
such an immediate personal interest In
the establishment of postal savings
banks as have the wage-earners. But
the commercial portion Of the commu-
nifty cannot afford to manifest ind1ner-
ence to the well-being and contentment
of the working population Of the coun-
try Let them do what they can to pro-
mote good feeling at least by giving con-
sideratlon to propositions like that Tor
the establishment Of postal savings
banks, the only object Of which is to do
something for the people, whose inter-
ests are only TOO rarely the subject OF in
telligent consideration by lawmakers.-

What Was Done Yesterday on Wall
Street

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-The bull contin-
gent met with some formidable obstacles
In their efforts to advance prices of stocks
today, and the greater part of their sue
cess was achieved In the Industrial spe-
cialties.
These causes, together with the inertness
OF the Granger group. were persistent
drag on the market. The latter part of the
day saw very animated contest between
professional traders for the control Of the
market.
The net result shows a very irregular
range of changes. In the majority of
standard railway shares which were left
free from manipulation the changes are
small Quite q number of small losses are
shown in the specialties. On the other
hand. gains extended from a point to 25s
The bond market continued active and
broad, some notable gains being shown in
special cases and the level Of prices all
through the list showed material ad-
vance. The total sales reached par value
of $3,S00000. Government bonds were
strong. Both the old and new fours ad-
vanced 4 bid, and the fives M bid.
The sensational advance in wheat In
Chicago today from $1.00N to $1.09 was re-
flected locally by net improvement of
1M@1ssc per bushel. Speculation, while
active at times, did not approach the ex-
citement which resulted in the west. as
the traders here were pretty we'll evened
up and too shrewd in the present unsettled
state Of the market affairs to branch out
into fresh deals. Accordingly only scalp
ing business was accomplished, save for a
little foreign buying early in the day. The
December option sold from 9S to 9S%c and
closed at 9SMc, May closing a 95c. The ad-
vance effectively checked exporters, who
were able to secure only twenty loads.
