CapbunCl0S!

It's the same story. The experience
of all sufferers with blood diseases is
Identical. First the doctors are con-
suited, and their prescription of potash
and mercury is taken faithfully, but
without result. Months pass, and the
mercurial dose is continued, until
finally, his condition being no better,
or often worse, the patient becomes
discouraged and decides to change
treatment.
Patent medicines are then taken,
but until the right one is found the
results are the same. S. S. S. is the
only blood remedy on the market
which is guaranteed purely vegetable.
1t is the only one that contains no
mercury, no potash, or other mineral,
and therefore is the only one that
promptly gets at the bottom of all
blood diseases and cures permanently.

BURGLAR BREAKS JAIL.
osrAR PETERS AT LIBERTY FOR
A SHORT WHILE.
captured by Two Negro Men After
Only Two Hours of Freedom.
How the Escape Was
Made,

Oscar Peters, the negro who was
sentenced to the penltentiary for ten
wears at the recent session of su-
perior court for burglarizIng Davis &
Dozer's store few months ago, es-
caped from jail about 9 o'clock Satur-
day morning.
HIS freedom was of short duration,
however, as he dined with Jailer Slade
in his old quarters the same day.
Saturday morning while Jailer Slade
was feeding the prisoners and looking
about the cells Peters slipped out and
hid on the top of the cells, where he
remained unObserved until the taller
locked the prison and departed. 1t was
then only matter Ola few minutes be-
tween Peters and liberty. He pulled
lD the grating through which the iail
is heated, and with this priced I'D 9TH
er grating which was in the southwest
corner of the jail for ventilatlng pur-
poses. Through this he dropped down
into the cellar underneath the iaiI
walked out through the door, jumped
over the fence on Johnson street and
went to the swamp, going by the old
Methodist church.
Mrs. Slade heard Peters breaking out
and notified Jailer Slade, who, thinking
that all the prisoners were escaping,
ran for his keys and went into the Jail
Peters in the meantime succeeding in
getting away.
Jailer Slade offered reward of..$25. OC
for Peters capture, and Major Bell
and John Gay, two negroes, set out to
get Peters and the reward. Thew
found his tracks in Mr.. G. r. CannOn's
corn field just beyond the creek and
followed them into a COrnfield of Ordi-
nary Roberts, short distance further
on, where they came upon the OBJ
jeCtOf their search resting under
a peach tree. A lively race fol
lowed, but long imprisonment told on
Peters and he was soon captured. He
was brought by his captors to the
pumping station of the waterWOrks,
where Chief Savage was telephoned for
and went out and brought him to the
city
Major Bell and John Gay have been
highly praised for theirwOrk in capt
urlng Peters, and were promptly paid
by Jaler Slade the $25 reward he had
offered
Sheriff Christie, who returned from
Randolph comfy after the escape, was
also on the tracks, and was only short
distance behind when the negro was
captured.
Peters has beeen waiting the arrival
OF a guard several weeks to transfer
him to the penitentiary, but that de-
partment of the state government
seems never to hurry.
CARRIED TO THE PEN.
Mr.. Heath, a penitentiary guard,
came for Peters yesterday and took
him to convict camp in Worth coun-
ty.

FINANCIAL.


New York, May 11.-Today's market
for stock continued to be strong and
prices to advance all around as long as
the London exchange was in session to
impart its buoyant influence to the local
market. The dealings showed some ami
nation and increased volume and the rise
in prices was easy and uninterrupted. But
the spirit of pessimism proved too strong
to outlast very long the adjournment of
the London exchange, even with Lon
don continuing to buy quite heavily in
this market after the close of its ex-
change The prices in London have halt
ed somewhat up to this time in spite of
the general improvement in that market
growing out of the subsistence of alarm
over the war in the east. because London
waited for New York to give the cue for
an advance. Today, however, the gen.
eral tone in London was SO strong and the
Improvement so great that it extended to
the Americans without waiting for New
York's initiative. The cessation of the
days trading in London was followed
by the announcement of 100000 gold
shipment on Thursday, and this was fol
lowed by vague rumor that shipments
for the week would probably reach total
of S7000,000. Although gold shipments
have been expected and confidently pre-
dicted for this week, the bulls lost heart
in the face of the actual announcement
and the whole market sold off with nc
subsequent recurrence of decisive
strength. AS matter of fact exchange
rates eased perceptibly with the Offering
of bills against the gold shipment and
large purchases of securities by London
here, estimated at $4,000 shares of stock,
and some large blocks of railway bonds.
Chicago Gas, st. Paul and Burlington and
Western Union were the most active in
the order named. Burlington's range was
a point, with net loss of narrow frac-
ton, while st. Paul retained fraction
of its early gain. Chicago Gas advanced
3-S and declined a point. Western
Union advanced 1 Is ON covering and
gained 3-Sc net. Manhattan also was
strong early and gained &c, but afterwards
lost 1 1-Sc. The net losses in the Coalers
were wider than elsewhere. extending to
a point in New Jersey Central. Foreign
buying was responsible for advances of
2 5-Sc in Norfolk and Western preferred,
and 1 1-2c in Norfolk and Western COM
mon, usually inactive stocks. st. Paul
and Sugar moved narrowly and under re-
straint.
The bond market displayed stiffness
generally on moderate transactions, with
renewed foreign buying the feature.
