Cold, Damp Weather Ag-

Cold, damp and disagreeable
weather is dreaded by those sub
iect to Rheumatism, for the slight
est change in the atmosphere or
temperature is sure to increase
their suffering. A great many
who experience little difficulty
from Rheumatism during the
summer months are likely TO be-
lieve themselves rid of the disease,
but with the first cold, damp day
their aches and pains return and
they soon find themselves firmly
in the grasp of their old enemy,
who fortunes them more than
ever.

WEAK IO FIVE LOVER
Fair Supply of Hogs and
Quality Good.
TOPS STILL AT $685.
Practically No Cattle Market
Hog Demand Good.
TOPS STILL AT $685.

The Wichita hog market yesterday was
weak to cents lower N entire SYM
patty with all other western receiving
points 1t was mostly a draggy market
throughout the first part of the day, the
recorded sales being made at widely di-
verging prices. the grade and the outside
influences having more effect than the
local coloring Of supply and demand. The
demand was strong enough ali day and
even developed additional strength as the
receipts commenced to come in. The
sales recorded from both local and car
stuff were slightly in advance of the day
before, and yet the call was firm ali day.
The bulk Of the sales seemed to indicate
market tone and quotation as fully 5
lower, and the entire days trading show
ed market fairly quoted as weak to
lower. The quality for the day was
generally fair, with some pretty good
hogs in. There was little, if anything
which could be said to he anywhere near
fancy, and YET some cars offered bore
hogs which showed up fairly good. The
weight was very good on the average for
car hogs, IL being slightly under that of
the day before, and very much above
that Of the same day last week The
bulk showed a range Of 121A cents for the
entire list; but as a matter Of fact 9

One other very good lot of hogs re-

and two more came under the So % mark.
The heavy end Of the days business was
done toward the close and transacted
promptly and at good prices for the ship
pers. The morning wagon trade was light.
not unduly so. but under the best showing
of the past two weeks Small punches
of varying quality Of mixed hogs came
in, and all were at once bid for and
sold at all they were worth. Two hold
overs also sold early and then came the
wait for fresh receipts. These arrived
in due time, and all were very soon dis
posed Of, and among the latest was one
which took the bulk top price Of the day.
Dold was as usual a strong buyer, and
paying good prices for his purchases. It
was a very good day all around on the To-
cal market and no one, sellers or buyers,
had any complaint to make.

Chicago, IL. Dec. "a special 10 the
Tribune from New York says:
IF the assertions OF the will OF Charles
Durkee. formerly mayor Of Buffalo are
we'll founded, the national government may
be compelled to pay them more than 500 =
100000 on account of some Pacific railroad
bonds which. it is alleged the former
mayor on his death bed said belonged to
him.
According to the attorney OF the estate.
Mr. Durkee told his wife he had caused to
be forwarded to the Metropolitan National
bank of this city a tin box containing an
assignment Of the railroad bonds In dues-
ton. amounting to more than s64,64 900.
but from that time till this, 1t IS alleged by
the attorneys. they have been unable TO
get any trace of the box
There was rumor afioat in 1894 that
some Of the bonds had passed through the
hands OF Grant & Ward. and the matter
was called to the attention Of the secre-
tary of the treasury. The heirs are said
TO have obtained information that some II
not all of the bonds in question were re-
covered and lodged in the vaults Of the
treasury at Washington.
1T is said the court of claims Is again
to be called upon 10 make an investiga-
ton. These bonds are said to have been
issued on account of the Union Pacific

Breeders Gazette: All records have
been broken in hog receipts. The country
has seemed to be full of them and they
have come to market In astonishing num-
bers. Latterly number Of light weights
have increased the receipts, as the falling
prices have scared farmers into keep
ing back their corn. Combined receipts
at the four big markets this month will
reach 1890, 900, which is by odds ahead of
any previous record Packers have
proved cheerful buyers, absorbing the
shipments from day to day and turning
them into products apparently in the
greatest faith as to the demand This
has been constantly good. A lot of pro-
duct has gone for export, domestic de-
mand is growing and there is a seeming
disposition on the part Of spectators to
play for a rise. The expectation of an ad-
vance in prices of the product has kept
the bottom from falling out under the
swelling receipts
