evidence of still untitled orders to buy
and of confidence in still higher prices
1t has been many a long day since such
movement as this without any reac-
ton, has withsteod all profit taking and
still pressed upward at the beginning of
the holiday season. The public is still
eager to buy and there are good evidences
that many large interests which sold but
a week ago have since bought in again at
higher prices. The situation is in every
way q remarkable one. 1t has forced
many well-informed people to change their
views. 1t would not have seemed possible
two weeks ago to the market critics that
the holidays could come without a sub
stantial reaction. Exactly this has oc-
Cured, however. Up to this point the

Mr.. Hibbs said of the situation at the
close of the market yesterday:
~ believe there is an excellent prospect
for continuance of the advance next
week. Many of the heaviest people who
have sold their holdings will buy them
back at higher figures. The big men were
out of the market when the boom came
after the defeat of Bryan. They sold out
after a good rise, expecting reaction
which did not come. Then they saw
stocks get away from them. as the public
made its big purchase. This market is a
much bigger one than that. The profess
sionals have been fooled again, but this
time they will profit by experience and
buy again before 1t is too late. There has
been some little profit taking by the
smaller people in the public today for
Christmas money. but at every recession
of a fraction the buying has been excel
lent
The times., 1898-12-24

1t is now the belief of many that Wall
Street laws are likely to be even further
violated, and that there may be a strong
market during the coming week and a
January boom to follow without more
than a small recession. 1t is hard to say
anything against such view in the face
of the enthusiasm evident everywhere.
And this especially as there is nothing
in sight that can frighten people. 1t is
undoubtedly the fact, however. that re-
cession would be good for the market
and may be forced by the large people at
any time.

Suicide Said to be Epidemic.

DR.. La Rue, the famous French
authority on abnormal pneumonia,
and a professor in Laval University,
has, after exhaustive comparison OF
facts in France, Belgium, England
and the United States, come to the
conclusion the inclination to suicide
is a mania, and is epidemic. There
seems to be strong CorrobOratiOn of
this in our own country where one
suicide-particularly among young
females-follows another. No learn
ed authority has as yet discovered
with exactitude whether malaria is
epidemic or endemic, but it has
been a matter of notoriety for near
ly half a century that the mCst re-
liable preventive and curative of the
various forms of malaria is Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters. Restored
patients have not only set the seal
of their appreciation upon it in ma
larial cases, but commend it for
rheumatism, kidney and liver trOu-
BILE, nervousness, dyspepsia and con-
stipation. 1t improves both appe-
tite and sleep, and is a capital miti-
giant of infrmity in advancing
years.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is caused by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of
the mucous lining OF the eustaChian
tube. When this tube is inAamed
you have d rumbhng sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirelY closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inaamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

The district court at Boston had
up quite an interesting case which
was decided yesterday. The case
was a damage suit, the agrieved be-
ing one, ]. N. Hall, farmer, and
the defendant W. W. Sanders a
bank president. 1t seems that Hall
had given his note to a foreign con-
cern, and finding it about to become
due, deposited a sufficient sum with
a merchant in DeKalb, and served
notice on Sanders, bank cashier,
that if the note turned up there
for collection, to go to this mer-
chant and get the money. Sanders
was told this by the cashier and he
wrote to the concern that if they
held a note against ], N. Hall that
he (Sanders) thought Hall was fixing
to leave and if he left, good bye
note. He thought if he was given
authority to take Scots on the dol
lar, if he could get this much out of
| it, and wound up the letter by say
ing, you know a half loaf is better
than no loaf" The foreign concern
thought they smelled dead rat in
this and sent an agent to DeKalb
where all this was brought out.
Hall sued for $4,000 damages to
character and was given $5O0.00.
MIR. Hall weakened his own case be-
cause he said his credit was not i'm
paired, as he was not merchandis-
ing. The jury gave their verdict
for S5O0.00 exemplary and no actual
damage, and it is said by the law
yers that the defendant can secure
new trial, as there can be no ex-
emplary where there is no award
made for actual damages.
