BACK TO NORMAL CONDITIONS
Traffic in the East Resumed After the
storm.

Boston, Feb. 3.-Boston today had re-
sImed her normal conditions so far as
street car and steam railway traffic was
concerned. Except a few of the down.
town thoroughfares, however. the streets
were piled high with snow. The condi-
ton of the wire system in the suburbs Of
the city was most discouraging. For
more than two days linemen have been
engaged in efforts to straighten out the
tangles at various points, but they have
succeeded in doing little more than TO
open up circuits to New York. Communi-
cation by telegraph can now be had by
way of New York with places in the vi
cinitv Of Boston with which there is no
direct connection by wire. The telephone
companies also have patched up lines to
New York and TO several Massachusetts
points but Vermont, New Hampshire
Maine. Rhode Island and Connecticut are
still cut off. The tales Of wrecks and loss
Of life thus far received the coast fur
nish the darkest chapter in the history
of the storm. Yesterdays report of
twelve bodies being found on Bakers
Island. IN Salem harbor. however, cannot
be verified.
Springfield. Mass. Feb. S.-The cold
wave which moved into this section yes
terday morning reached a climax this

from s TO Il degrees below zero. The
railway and electric car traffic had been
restored but trains from distant points

GERMANY'S FRUIT EXCLUSION
viii Not Hurt California Growers
Hueh Auyh0w.

San Francisco, Feb 3-Among the fruit
exporters Of San Francisco the news OF
the action OF the German government pro-
hibiting the importation OF American
fruit created no alarm. Albert Castle. Of
Castle Bros. voiced the general sent-
rent in the statement that California
sent too little fresh fruit 70 Germany 10
feel the prohibition. He agreed with J.
X Armsby & Co.'S representative and
those Of Porter Bros Co, and Rosenberg
Bros. & Co. that at present the market
in Germany for this states fresh fruits
was not OF sufficient Importance to JUST
~ alarm.
Joseph A Filcher. secretary Of the state
board OF trade said: 81 believe that Ger
rnanys action is in retaliation for the
sugar tariff OF the Dingley bill. II Will
not affect California much. as we export
small quantities OF fresh fruits 10 that

these towns and have thereby opened up
thousands Of acres for settlement and es-
tabIished farming communities of many
homes. 1 have followed the same plan
on which Greeley. Colorado. was built
I'D. where farm land is worth $50 to 800
per acre.
From the day the Union Hill company
and the Edgemont and Union Hill Smeit-
ing companies were organized, work has
never ceased. These united companies
own in all over 200 mines near Deadwood
and the Homestake. smelter and stamp
mill completed, and another stamp MIL
and smelter in process OF construction.
Thousands of feet OF development work
has been done on these properties. at the
cost of hundreds Of thousands Of dollars.
I believe the mines when fully developed
and worked will prove one of the richest
paying proprties in tn United States.
Nearly every stakeholder In each OF
the companies has been out to see the
properties. either before or after invest
ing, and there never has been DOUBT
expressed as to the value of the property
but on the contrary in their many per-
sonal letters TO me and letters to home
newspapers have expressed their COM
pIet satisfaction. Many of our stockhold-
ers made several trips during the prog
ress of the work up to the present time
and continued to express themselves as
satisfied. At least six among the best
mining experts in the United States have
made most favorable reports
I'm all of the foregoing work nave
given every moment of my time for seven
wears. 1 believe 1 have averaged Is hours
q day. and during all these years l have
not had a single days vacation
eft has been my constant and earnest
endeavor TO bring each Of these enterpri-
ses to their highest point Of profit TO all
the stockholders. Every collar of my
own money is invested IN this work and
the money of theses associated with me-
and I have felt it based upon good prop
critics that would be OF ever increasing
value. If the years of devotion l have
given to this work are not crowned with
success. I shall be completely worn out
and broken in health, and lose every
dollar have in the world.

can be no failure. Where such chemlcal
relations are not known there can be
nothing but guesswork. All the Mum
yon remedies are based upon scientific
knowledge based upon systematic inVes-
tigation and experiment.
Mr.. Andrew HI fhine, a well-known en-
ploye at the Catholic Asylum for Boys,
4701 Girard Avenue, south, st. Louis,
says: Il had rheumatism for twenty
years. During the past eighteen months
was at times so bad that l was almost
helpless. 1 had dreadful pains in the
muscles of the chest and back, and was
unable to work I was treated at two
st. Louis hospitals. and had several OF
the best doctors, but failed to find cure
for me, as the pains persisted in spite OF
all the medicines. Many prominent bus
mess men will indorse my statement, as
1 am well-known. I visited the Mum
yon offices, and was completely cured
by the Munyon Remedies. l have been
working exposed to the weather ever
since, and have had no return OF the
disease"
Mrs. NJ A silvers. Box IA, Nelson.
Neb., says: had rheumatic lumbago so
very badly that was obliged to go about
bent almost double The pain in my
back was so bad that I was scarcely
able to rise out Of my chair without
help. Munyon's Rheumatism Cure cured
me permanently in a very short time"
Munyon has separate specific for each
disease. II in doubt, write Professor
Blunyon, at Philadelphia Pa, and obtain
advice free.

DRY GOODS MARKET.

New York, Feb. S.-There was q general
resumption of business in the dry goods
district today. Nearly all the agents and
commission men were in communication
with the mills which they represent by
mail and wire, and were in a position TO
talk prices 10 such buyers as were in the
market. There were not many OF these
and their purchases both at first hands
and in jobbing stores were light. Nail OF
ders receipts today were quite heavy,
however and the movement OF goods was
of a comparatively weightier character.
The movement Of staple cotton goods for
the home trade was fairly heavy. Export
goods were bought very slowly, as here
tofore. Print cloths are quoted az > 2-1s.
with no further sales at that price report
ed. Prints are firm s about the same
prices as Heretofore quoted.
