When Abraham Lincoln ran for
reelection in 1864 the democratic
platform pronounced the war a fail

Third Kentucky Boys.

We take the following excerpts
from the Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer
Sun, of Nov. 81, which relate to
Frankfort boys in the Third Ken
lucky Infantry, now stationed near
that city:
FIRST ASSIST Mt SURGEON.
GA prime iavorite in the hospital
and in the company streets-a mod
est, unassuming gentleman capa-
ble surgeon and officer-a man whom
everybody, of both hum BILE and high
estate, admires, respects and genu-
inely loves, is the First Assistant
Surgeon, Capt. Nevil M. Garrett.
Like Major Bell, Capt. Garrett,
presented himself upon the Presi-
dents first call for volunteers, and
was mustered in as the Second
Assistant Surgeon Of the regiment.
A cultivated, Christian gentleman,
who never finds his duty irksome,
though the sick call comes at mid
night, when ones own warm tent
and couch are preferable to the blasts
that give iced serenades among the
tents, it is not surprising that his
popularity has grown with each sue
ceeding day in the service. It's an
easy thing to be dress parade doctor
with clanking bits and shining
spurs and well grOOmed horse, but
an active, conscientious regimental
surgeon suffers many denials and
discOmforts.
"Capt. Garrett, too, is young
man, having been graduated from the
Louisville College of Medicine only
two years ago. Maj. Boyd's reSigna-
ton and DIR. Boyd's promotion also
advanced DIR. Garrett one number
and he is now First Assistant Sur
geOn.
"Capt. CARROTS friends predict for
him a splendid future.
Capt. Garrett is receiving the
sympathy Of the regiment on the
death of his horse, as fine thor
Ough bred as an officer ever put spurs
to. Pneumonia contracted on the
trip from Lexington is responsible
; for the loss"

From the day that young man starts
out to seek his first position TO sae end of
his business life, his health has a world to
do with his success. When a young man
applies to a business man for a position, his
personal appearance has deal TO do with
the outcome. Personal appearance" does
not mean dress alone. II does not mean
exterior cleanliness alone. young man
may be clean so far as soap and water will
make him, but be dishguTed by unsghtly
pimples, eruptions and alterations on the
skin These are due to impurities in the
blood. The blood becomes impure because
il is Improperly nourshed. Instead of
receiving the lifegiYing elements of the
food, it receives the foul carnations OF
indigestion, bilousness and Costiveness.
The reason that Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery is the best remedy for
disorders of this description is that II goes
right to first causes. II gives man an
appetite like a horse" 1t facilitates the
flow Of digestive juices 1t cOrrects all
disorders of the digestion, and makes the
assimilation of the life giving elements
of the food perfect. 1t invigorates the
liver. II purilies and enriChcs the blood
II makes the muscles strong and active
II tones and steades the nerves, 1t makes
a young man look as he should--strong of
body, alert of brain and clean and whole

ENDS IN wRANGLE.
But Referee Would Not Allow Leomin-
stst's Protest.

Fitchburg, Nov. 16.-The Fitchburg
and Leominster high school foot ball
teams lined up on the Circle street
grounds, this afternoon, and the local
boys came off victorious by a. score Of
to 0. The game, however, ended in
wrangle and the Leominster bows
left the field with three minutes to
play. In the first half the ball was adj
vanced by the local team within five
yards of the Leominster goal, when
time was called.
In the second half Burrage of Leom-
mister was knocked out with a sprained
ankle. This half was fast and furious.
The Fitchburg high, with seven min
utes to play, had the bali on their two
yard line, but lost it on downs. Leom-
mister then punted the ball from quar-
ter back and it was captured by Dillon.
F. II. S., who started for his goal at a
breakneck speed and succeeded in max
ing a touchdown The Leominster team
then set UP howl of foul play, on ac-
count of the crowd, which broke
through on to the field when the play
was being made. The referee, however
ruled that the crowd was on the field
when Leominster snapped the ball and
they should have objected before start
ing the play. The Leominster team
could not see it in this light, and left
the field. The game was given to Fitch
burg by a score of to 0.
The lineup was as follows:

Higher Range of Values Estab'
lished Than on Tuesday.
Nearly All the Net Gains Confined to
Fractions.

New York, Nov. 16.-Apparently the
watchers, who have been waiting for
reaction in the market to buy stocks
made up their minds that this morn
ing's decline was the most that could be
looked for under the circumstances, and
they accordingly came into the market
in great force and before the end of the
the day had wiped out the earlier losses
almost entirely and established a high
Ell range of values than yesterday
throughout, although the net gains in
nearly all cases are confined to frac-
tions The extreme rise from the low
point in the majority Of active stocks
amounted to per cent or over, and the
closing was active and quite strong at
the top. The morning losses were not
made without resistance to the decline,
notably by Atchison preferred, the
Union Pacific and some of the special
ties ~
Chicago and Northwestern and
Omaha also showed strength before the
break, but the very heavy offerings Of
the Northern Pacific stocks proved too
heavy a burden for the market to carry
and especially as London continued dis
posed to realize in the international Sc
curities.
The Northern Pacifics fell over a
point below last night and the whole
list receded below last nights level.
There were some stop loss orders uncov-
cred on the way down, but orders in
commission houses to buy were encoun-
tered in announcing the amount and
sharp advance in the Northwestern
stocks and Omaha ranging from TX to
81. This turned the whole market up
wards.
The advance for the rest of the day
was entirely interrupted but the
marked strength of International Pa
per. Sugar, Pacific Mail, Baltimore and
Ohio and a few other stocks and the
enormous demand for Atchison prefer
red kept the bull spirit in the ascendant
and discouraged operations on the short
side.
The selling for London account also
changed to a buying demand at the
lowest level. These were for the most
part simply arbitrage operations based
on the disparity between London and
/ New York prices. But the session of the
/ Paris peace conference and the fixing
of date for a future meeting afforded
some relief from apprehensions Of a
rupture which have prevailed in Lon
don.
The fact of the Berlin exchange being
closed served to check recent large sell
ing of American securities which has
come from that quarter on account Of
the money stringency.
In the local money market although
sterling exchange held steady and New
York exchange at Chicago fell to par
While the currency movement on bal
ance continued away from New York
the rate for call money eased off a frac
ton towards the close of the day ant
the demand for time money was less
active. There are evidences of decreased
anxiety over the effect of the Berlir
/ money situation on other financial cen.
