ASTHMA CURED.

What I suffered with Asthma for II
years no human being can imagine.
From the first breath of cold weather till
spring my life was torture. Frequently
| would have two attacks in "a hours,
when for three hours at time l could
scarcely speak or swallow, or get my
breath. Propped up in bed. unable to
lie down, coughing and strangling, dur
ing these paroxisms it seemed that every
moment would be my last. The best
doctors and all the celebrated Asthma
cures did not give me even temporary
relief. I used six $500 bottles of one
cure, but the first relief I obtained was
in using B,uEilian Balm. That was in
September, 1883. I used four so cent
bottles during the winter following and
did not have one attack. Nor have j
had a single attack during the past
twelve years. always keep Brazilian
Balm on hand and at the first sign of a
cold take it and am quickly cured and
all right. In fact the Balm is the doctor
in the house for all of US. It Is simply
wonderful what it will do. Nothing is
too hard for 1t. We have practically
had no DOCTORS bills since we began to
use it. If people only knew its value,
not home in the land would be without
it. MRS. MARY Scorr.

The World Of Business.
Wall Street Yesterday

New York, Aug. Am Of the granger
recorded on this movement, and, indeed,
for number ofyears. In the general mar
ket new high records of prices were made
in several instances. Underneath the
very strong tone of the market, howe ever,
certain feverishness was apparent, and
the days advances We're not made with
lied yesterdays market. This is by no
means remarkable, however, when the
almost unbroken ADVANCE of summer and
the particularly rapid advance of the
week are considered.
In addition to the realization OF profits
on large scale, which might reasonably
be looked FOR under the circumstances, the
foreign selling was exceedingly heavy on
the market, an aggregate Of over $4,000
shares being reported for foreign account.
Liquidation in such proper tions might
well have turned another market than
that now prevailing. AS a matter of fact,
the selling was absorbed with an ease
which furnished striking evidence of the
increase OF outside interest in the market,
and, as noted, the day saw new high
record established.
The degree Of feyerishness referred to
was perhaps, due to apprehensons of stock
market casualties as a resul t of the rapidity
OF the advance, and, Furthermore, to the
evidences that the long interest In the
market, notwithstanding its wcll-founded
position, is perhaps somewhat extended
These points, while technical, are worth
watching, for nothing is more dangerous
10 the stability OF the market than the
chances OF the public losing its head
over q brilliant but not entirely assured
outlook.
The general situation was REINFORCED
today by the 12 cent advance in
wheat and continued large engagements of
the cereal for export. The rainfall on the
parched district was encouraging to the
| holders OF corn-carrying road securities
In respect of activity the stock market
was well up TO yesterdays level, and the
dealings showed an even distribution OF
interest. Outside stocks were directly az
| fected by the crop situation specified, and
explanations to account for particular
movements We're wanting. In a way the
strength Of the market was subjected TO
more severe technical test than it has had
at any time during the advance, and it
| came through the test unhur5.
In the bond division Atchison, Brooklyn
Rapid Transit, Erie, st. Louis and san
| Francisco and Wisconsin Central issues
were conspicuous. The best prices OF the
day were shaded in the final dealings in
the stock market, but the undertone was
very firm.

Every few days the papers tell of some
man found dead Many times the cause is
accidental poisoning because among several
medicine bottles the wrong was taken-the
one containing deadly poison. If people
only really understood disease this sort of
thing would never happen.
Mich of the sickness in the world is
traceable to some disorder of the digestive
ORGANS or to some impurity in the blood.
Nine-tenths of all the illness i'll the world
can be cured by purifying and enriching the
blood. and restoring perfect digestion. The
one sole and infallible medicine for this
purpose is DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
discovery 1t can be implicitly relied upon.
There is no need having a dozen medicine
bottles in the house. One.is enough. There
is no need of using poisons. at all. The
Golden Medical Discovery is the most
effective medicine ever prepared and there
is not an atom of poison in million bottles
of it. If YOU will be guided by DR.. Pierce
Common Sense Medical Adviser, and use
only DR.. Pierce's Medicines, you will al
ways be safe.

confer with the supervising architect of
the United States in reference TO stone
work connected with the construction of
several Federal buildings in that city
Unfortunately the committee was not able
TO have an interview with the supervising
architect.
The committee is DESTROYS OF calling the
attention of tie authorities to the manner
in which the stone for construction is pre-
pared for building purposes, and request
that the present method be changed so as
to give the work TO the Chicago stonecutters
At present, it is understood, the greater
part of the work Of preparing the huge
blocks Of stone for tie buildings is done
at the qnarries with cheap labor. What the
committee wiz request is that all work
OF preparing the rough stone for building
use be done in Chicago by stonecutters,
who shall be paid union rates.
The committee left about noon for Balti-

ALAS FOR THESE KLoNDIKERs.
Several Gold Hunters Meet With
Disaster at the Outset.

New Brunswick, N. j., Aug. 4.-The police
interrupted q klondike expedition this
morning. and nine men are boarding tenn
porarily at the county jail. The men were
captured in a Pennsylvania dfreight
car going west. They gave their names as
follows: George Bennett, New York; Charles
Carroll, Paterson; Michael MeGill, Pater-
son; Albert Noley, Pittsburg; George Yates
New York; Joseph Colvey, FAN River;
Charles Wren, Baltimore; John Martin,
Providence, and John Burns, FAN River
The officers saw at once that the men
were not ordinary tramps. They had good
appearance and money. The men claimed
they had left their various places of bust
ness and had met in New York to form Il
party to go TO the Klondike gold regions.
Although they had money, they did not
care to spend it for car fare, and had COM
menced to beat their way TO California.
The railroad authorities wanted them
held pending an investigation, and the
recorder sent them to jaiIfor five days each.

Mr.. Carley says of the market: IF you
throw firebrands into a cage of tigers or
wild bears you will not put them into
greater fury than is now shown by the
manipulators on the New York Stock Ex-
change. Whenever the market is strong
enough to suit the bulls they sell a few
stocks. This makes the surface of thu
market look weak and the bears then make
some more commitments. Immediately that
remarkable partnership now on exhibition
between tho American public and the bull
operators begins again with its fine work,
and forces the professional men to take a
new loss When men buy stocks to invest
their money they go slow; when they buy
stocks to save their money they get in u
hurry. For this reason every day or two
the market gets "a quick squirt upward, be-
cause the bears are buying To save their
money. We do not yet see a top TO the
market. We think Sugar, L. & N, p. l.

London sold extensively yesterday IN
the face OF the excited bull market here.
It's offerings caused slight recession
from the prices recorded at the opening,
but by noon the losses had all been We'd
back. The present foreign distrust CT
speculative conditions here is fairly log
ical one, apparently based on the unset
tied condition, of the currency and dis
belief in our ''dawning prosperity"
Wall street has forgotten or disregards
the currency question, aud believes thor
oughly in coming prosperity. 1t is possible
also that London has the curious idea that
the mana cement of our foreign relations
may get us into trouble, that We may be led
INTO altercations with Spain, or japan, or
some one, by our hot-headed Governments
On this point surely, however. there is n"
need for fear.
