MAIN STREET PAVING
The Merchants and Manufacturers
Discuss the Protest

Al recent meeting of the Merchants
and Manufacturers association a sys-
tenn for signaling police officers on ds-
tant beats, which is in successful on
Grafton elsewhere, was proposed bv NJ
P. Thye, formerly city electrician. The
system. in brief, is the establishment of
ponce alarm boxes, similar to the pres
ent hre alarm boxes, in different parts
OF the city. Mr.. Thye offered to estab-
lish such system and superintend II
and the fire alarm system also, and keen
both In order for $275 month: the con-
tract for such supervision to run for I
least two years. Mr.. Thye also suggests
that he will donate ten police alarm
boxes to the city, each to be worth s15O
The board regarded this project with
favor, and passed resolution to recon-.
mend its adoption by the city govern
ment.
Ihe street paving question was dis
cussed, and the Main-street property
owners who had protested against re-
paving were regarded with surprise.
Secretary knight called attention to
the fact that the protestants' petition
had wrongfully given the cost of the
foFSS>N @AAAPAoNciAcHl DIS ZS cents per
foot, when it would be only about q
cents or 10 cents for resurfacing with
asphalt, for the base is all right. ex-
cept where the chuck holes are deepest.
AS an illustration, he cited the Van
Nuys property, with frontage of 179
feet and valuation of S375, 900. The tax
for resurfacing would be only s266. or
.O7 OF per cent. 1t was unfortun a to
that an improvement so greatly need

so comparatively insignificant should be
opposed:

CONDUCTED BY oEo. A. DoBINsok

an insurance company: A good story has
just been told by a family doctor regard
Ing little ruse adopted by one of his
patients who wished to save the expense
OF consulting him. The patient was q
woman Of good means but of frugal dis
position. One day she began to feel some
alarm regarding her health. and wishing
to avoid a costly procedure made an appli-
cation to life insurance company for n
policy of large amount-so large. indeed.
that they delegated three medical men to
make an exhaustive examination before
they could accept her as q risk. In due
time she was informed that her life had
been accepted and was thus in a position
to assume she was quite well, whereupon
the company was advised that she had
changed her mind and did not intend to
take out a policy Just then, This story
may be exaggerated or may be indeed
apocryphal. but it need not be in the least
for there are people who will
stoop to the shabbiest conduct in dealing
with an insurance company.

ON CHANGE
What Was Done Yesterday on Wall
Street

NEW YORK, May 2e.-The stock mar
ket was notably active and strong in the
early hours of trading today. Animation
OF trading somewhat subsidized after the
noon hour on account of the announce
ment Of an additional shipment of $500. 900
In gold tomorrow and on profit taking and
some weak spots developed in the list,
which served somewhat to check the rising
tendency. Prices Of most stocks were
nevertheless quite firmly held until the
close, and substantial net gains were the
rule as the result of the days trading.
There was quite a large number OF shares
sold here for London account. but they
represented nothing but arbitrage opera
ti0ns by professional traders, the higher
level Of prices here offering sufficient
margin Of profit to invite the operation.
There was a marked broadening tendency
to speculation. many usually inactive
shares coming into demand and gaining
In price. The outside interest in the mar
ket which first manifested itself yester-
day was again feature today. and vari-
Gus commission house orders were in evil
dence. Smaller transactions were of con-
siderably smaller volume than yesterday.
The fact that the senate Is actually en-
barked on the consideration of the tariff
BILL and the belief that the measures taken
to expedite action by that body upon tha
bill will prove efficacious, were the impell-
iiS cduSes OF the more cheerful view of
things taken on the stock exchange. Wall
street waits upon general rade revival
as the panacea for the ifls that affiict Sc
curity values. Traders in stocks act upon
the belief that progress toward the enact
ment of the new tariff law justifies them
In disseminating the good effect expected
to accrue to business in general from a
ocnnttc settlement Of the future condi
tions 1t will have to do with. The st. Paul
statement for April was also a disappoint-
ing factor. The decrease shown in gross
earnings was s162.s21 and in net earnings
sSo''oQ. This had quite a marked effect in
the afternoon to check the rise in values.
net gains were generally fraction less
tnan the extreme advance. but were the
rule throughout the list. The bond market
developed aggressive strength on large
transactions which were attributed in nart
10 revival of outside interest. The riit.
edged Hens were in fair reduest at ad.
vanced prices. but in the middle grade and
speculative issues the gains were more
pronounced: ta on "dr The aggregate sales were
~ ~ so5,oU. Government bonds displayed a
hardening tendency on a moderate in
curry. The sales were $4,000.

London Markets

NEW YORK, May 26.-The Evening
Posts London financial cablegram says:
The stock market opened dull today. The
lowest prices were touched at midday, but
thereafter there was sharp recovery and
the close was at the best. Kaffirs were bet
ter after dullness and copper was strong
Gold has again gone to Russia, and I be-
lieve that more is to go tomorrow or on
Friday. The ignorance and misapprehen-
sin as to the destination of the gold may
be measured by the fact that two morning
journals here state their belief that the
United States is the real destination of the
metal. The Paris bourse has been irregular
but the close was firm. The BERN market
was firm.

CHICAGO MARKETS
The Days Transactions on the Board
f.t OF Trade

CHICAGO. May 26.-In wheat the early
news was of q mixed character and con-
tained grains of COMFORT for both bulls
and bears which fairly balanced each
other. SO that for an hour the wheat mar
ket did not get far away on either side
from last nights closing price. At the end
of that time, however. it ceased to re-
cover from declines and kept much more
steadily on the down graGle. Opening at
7Gesc against yesterdays closing price of
701sc, July sold at 70Nc for a moment. held
around 7O1ac for some time. then slowly
but surely declined, reaching 69ssc before
IL o'clock. The Liverpool market was one
or the bearlsh factors. inasmuch as 1t
opened 11d lower and closed with loss
of as much more, or Id decline for the day
or the early news of bullish character
were the dispatches concerning the French
crop and reduction in the volume of the
movement in the northwest. Paris cables
reported wheat firm on prospective small
crop and threatening weather. Chicago
got seven cars, and 10000 bushels were in.
spected out of store st. Louis sent chinch
bug and Hessian fly stories, but sent also
selling orders for wheat. Duluth wired
that after this week the mills would need
all the wheat likely to arrive there. Ex-
port clearances Of wheat and flour from
the four principal Atlantic ports were
equal to 221, 900 bushels. The weakness did
not arise so much from bearish news as
from the fact that trading was dull and
support was spasmodic and nearly con.
densed in the first hour. That out of the
way. the market dropped. The demand
for cash wheat from country millers ar
rived at the decline and New York re.
ported similarly of the export inquiry
there. This caused a rally to 7O1ac. but
scon broke again to 691aQ69%c. The latest
trading was at 69Ac.. Corn was weak
made so by the continually increasing
offerings west. Local receipts were heavy.
b51 cars, and estimates for tomorrow were
still larger, Elevator men were heavy
sellers but prices kept within a narrow
range, notwithstanding. Speculative in
terest In oats was very light. Prices ruled
a shade lower with corn and heavy re-
coipts, S92 cars, but the feeling as whole
was steady. Large receipts of hogs made
another weak day for provisions and the
market was weak from the start. Very
little support was given. and although sell.
ing was not very heavy, it was persistent
enough to force prices steadily downward

One of the most deeply interesting
and truly educative books ever written
is The Peoples Common Sense Medi-
cal Adviser" by DR.. r. V. Pierce,
Chief Consulting Physician at the In
valid's Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N. Y. This splendid volume
of zoos pages, includes ninety pages on
the subject of diseases peculiar to
women, with directions for hOme-treat-
ment, rendering unnecessary the en-
barrassing examinations, and gen
orally useless local treatment so
dreaded by modest women. 1t also
treats extensively of diseases of men
and points out their remedies. The
book contains the most comprehensive
of human physiology and
the rational principles of hygiene ever
published. Illustrated with over 300
gs-a com plete medical Ii
brary in one volume. No other medi-
cal book in the English language ever
had such an enormous sale. $50, 900
