New York. April 6.-There IL q strong
conviction in Wall street today that de-
lay in sending in the presidents mes
sage is favorable to the avoidance OF
war. The disposition of the message
was the central point about which the
whole market was turned all day. The
assertions of the n~ewspaper this morn
ing that it would without question go in
today, and that II would declare for forci-
BILE Intervention. caused the decline at
the opening. Opening prices in almost
all cases were the lowest of the day. The
resistance to the decline and the quick
recovery were a surprise to outside OBJ
servers. who were prepared for something
Xix a war panic on the exchange. The
recovery was due to cabled reports of a
rumor In London that the message would
not come In until next Thursday. This
rumor was quickly discredited by state
ments from Washington. and the market
drifted to a lower plane again. but not
to the lowest. The s~tagnation of the
trading during this period of waiting was
almost absolute, and the sudden outbreak
OF activity when the later authentic re-
ports came from Washington that the
message would be delayed until Monday
was In strong contrast. 1t was evident
that the conclusion was leaped to that
the Withholding of the message was due
to a reception of further proposals from
Spain, or to movements for mediation by
European powers giving promise that the
countries might emerge peacefully from
their ENHANCEMENT. The violent advance
was checked. and reaction set in when it
was stated that the delay WAS due to ad-
vices from Consul General Lee that he
would not be able to secure the departure
In safety of Americans from Cuba before
next Monday. Prices stiffened again,
however. before the close on the strength.
with the general sentiment that delay ia
vored peace.
Thu money market maintained a watt
ing attitude. Time money was firm a,
6 per cent for all dates, but exchange
markets showed a hardening tendency.
Gold continues to come, however. from
abroad.
Bonds moved in sympathy with stocks,
and were stagnant until the last hour.
when prices advanced on a squirt of ac-
tivity. Total sales, 81, $50. 900. u. s.. new

otherwise were unchanged on the day.

Morrow's Method of Curing Diseases
Accusing the Interest of Scientists.

Accusing the Interest OF SclehCis's'
PHYSICIANS of all schools are beginning
to realize that the primary cause OF near
" every disease that attacks the human
system is the failure of the kidneys Go
nerfOrm the duties nature assigned them.
The blood is constantly absorbing from
the different articles of food taken into
the stomach, various impurities, which IL
permitted to course through the system,
quickly render the blood unit to carry on
tbe process of healthy nutrition and uItl-
mately result in the development OF dis
ease.
It is the duty of the kidneys to filter the
blood; the slightest irregularity in the
performance of this function is immediate
" manifested in general weaking OF the
body; tendency to give out With IlttIe
exertion. The symptom is closely follow
ed by others of much more distressing na~
ture which it is often customary TO attrl-
butte to other causes.
John Morrow, an eminent chemist OF
Springfield Ohio, using as basis for his
work the theory that the kidneys are re-
sponsible for the condition of our heaith,
has produced new remedy whlchAhe has
named Morrows Kidneoids, the purpose
of which is to act directly on the kidneys
eliminating all unnatural deposits ana
rectifying the damage caused by their
existence.
The remarkable results obtained by this
medicine have attracted vide afternoon
and established a new method of treating
disease, the efficacy of which cannot be
disputed
Morrow's Kidneoids are prepared in yell
low tablets so small as to almost rob them
of their virtue in the eyes OF those not
versed in medicine, but so potent is their
influence that their effects are noticed al
most Immediately.
They are now on sale generally. If not
to be had of your dealer, they will be sent
postpaid on receipt of so cents per box.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, q receptacle for the urine.

1t may be worth something to
know that the very best medicine
for restoring the tired out nervous
system to healthy vigor is Electric
Bitters. This medicine is purely
vegetable, acts by giving tone to the
nerve centers iu the stomach, gently
stimulates the liver and kidneys,
and aids these organs in throwing
off impurities in the blood. Electric
Bit,ers improves the appetite, aids
digestion, and is pronounced by
those weo have tried it as the best

Not Rhea Only.
GWytheville Dispatch.l

l's '"''i't biSlIittul
A telegram from Washington City dat
ed Monday, says that James A. Walker,
OF the Ninth Virginia district, hasinform-
ed some OF his republican friends in the
House that he is doubtful about running
or Congress again. He admits that the
contest in the district will be red hot this
year, and from what he can learn is in
clined to the belief that the Democrats
will put up as their candidate Judge
William f. Rhea, of Bristol, regarded as
one OF the strongest men in his party.
He not only has Democrats but Re-
publicans to fear, for we can safely and
intelligently testify for Wythe county
that he is weaker by hundreds of Repub
lican votes in this county now than he
was in 1894 or 1896. But the Demo-
Gratis, it should be remembered, are not
relying upon disgruntled Republicans to
wage and win the fight within this dis
trict next fall. Ii Mr.. Walker is the Re-
publican candidate again, which we
doubt-first for the reason assigned
above, and second, for fear that he will
be turned down in his own party in con-
vention or afterwards at the polls-the
Democrats will be rendered and will nc
