DEWEY REACHES NEW YORK.

Two Days Ahead of TIme-He Surprises
Everybody.
New York. Sept. 26.-Admiral George
Dewey arrived off New York at dawn,
and the Olympia Is now anchored in
American water in sight of SaLdy
Hook
The first shout of welcome was
from the pilots and crew of pilot boat
No. Z, fifteen miles south of the Hook
lightship. 1t happened to be Pilot
John Peterson's turn. and at $50 a. M.
he was put on board the Olympia, and
brought her around the Hook and into
the lower bay. The marine observers
along the coast had sighted the Olym-
pia in the first light of the morning.
The shore batteries of Fort Hancock,
manned by gunners, called from break
fast, let loose seventeen guns. The
flagship replied with twenty-one and
let go her anchors not far from where
the cup challenger Shamrock is moor
ed.
The admiral was in his own country
again. after twenty-three months alb
sence. He had returned great with
the arduOus greatness of things DONE"
and he scarcely seemed to realize it.
The pilot had brought aboard the Sun
day papers and reporter of the Asso-

receive him.

part in receiving me-
The admiral said that he felt tired,
but he did not look so. His complex
ion is Il clear bronze, his hazel eyes are
bright, his bearing brisk and rather
Jaunty. Some deep lines are under his
eyes and around his mouth, but his
voice is singularly clear and pleasant.
The admirars first business was to
send an officer ashore with kilograms
for the Navy Department, Mayor Van
Wyck and General Buttertield an
nouncing the arrival. He then spent
most of the morning in looking over
newspapers and receiving reporters
Many officials and prominent men call
ed during the day. The committee on
reception from New York came down
and conferred with him.
Admiral Dewey purposes, unless his
plans shall be changed by the recep-
ton committee to bring the Olympia
up the lower bay and anchor inside the
harbor with the squadron of United
States warships off Tompkinsville. of
which squadron he is now in superior
command.
Here he will wait until Friday for
the welcoming festivities at New York
In the meantime the ship will be thor

Tauric acid, new chemical discov-
cry, obtained from tauric moss-a lich-
en- or fungus, usually found upon rocks
and the roots of trees throughout the
country-has been found to possess
properties which will render 1t inval-
liable as solvent of metals. Gold,
silver, steel. aluminium and lead, when
immersed in the acid, become pliable
and ductile as putty. The advantages
1t presents for workers in metal
more especially jewelers-are readily
apparent. Designs can be nodded by
the hands alone, without the use or as
sistance of heat. Strange to say, how

NEW USE FOR NEBRASKA SOIL
Employed in Rectifying the Crude
Oil of Indian Corn.

Chadron. Neb., July ia novel and
interesting use has been found for Nebras-
ka soil. A woman of this county has dis
covered method for rectifying through
its agency maize or Indian corn oil, making
the product a valuable commercial substi-
tute for olive oil. II is not generally
known that under the new milling process
manufacture into flower or meal or other
food product. This little germ, containing
the life properties of the kernel, also con-
tains 4 rancid oil that taints and gives an
unwholesome flavor 10 corn food products
when not removed. The crude oil is thus
left in the hands of the corn millers in
large quantities, and until this discovery
by a Nebraska woman they have had no
method for successfully treating the prod
uct which was worthless as commercial
article.
Mrs. Emma C. Sickles, of this county,
now attending the Domestic Science Lab
oratory in Washington, discovered the new
process by the use of the common soil on
her farm in this county. The soil is about
the same as throughout western Nebraska
containing a good deal of magnesia and
tale and little alkali. She has applied
for patent on her process and has closed
contracts with a number of corn milling
firms In the East for the use of the soil
in car lots. She thinks the soil can be
used quite as successfully in the treatment
Of beet sugar and other food products.
Corn oil used in this country has previous
ly been rectifed in Austria only.

able than for some weeks; in fact, it is
the poorest of the season in some respects.

KIDNEY TROUBLE.
The Most Prevalent, Dangerous
and Deceptive Disease.
Thousands Have Ii and DON'T Know

Pains and aches come from excess OF
uric acid in the blood. due to neglected
kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes
quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes
ono feel as though they had heart trouble,
because the heart is over working to pump
the thick, kidney-poisoned blood through
the veins and arteries.
Soreness or uncomfortable feeling in the
back indicates kidney trouble of no small
Importance.
The passing of scanty or profuse guam
titles OF urine is warning OF kidney trou-
bic. II you want TO feel well you can
make no mistake by first doctoring your

Haverhill; Mass. July 19.-It was learned
today that Thomas Nevins, millionaire
OF Newark, N. j.. has secured an option
upon the entire gaslight plant of this city,
which is rated as the most fiourishing in
the State. The capital stock of the COM
pany consists of 1900 shares, of a par
value of $50 each, and for three years the
stockholders have been receiving so per
cent dividend annually. The offer made by
the millionaire is about s400 per share,
which will bring the total OF payment to
the vicinity of 100000. Mr.. Nevins is an
extensive investor in gas securities and
controls a number of plants in the Middle
States. His son. Thomas A. Nevins. will
officiate as vice president OF the new CON-
pany, and Joseph Doyle, of Newark. is

Yesterdays stock market was character
less, featureless, and disappointing after
an opening which gave promise of better
things. The first hour OF the day, as
stated yesterday afternoon, was charac
terized by some good buying by the ciiques
in several securities, and there was a
somewhat accelerated commission house
business as a result. Prices advanced IN
the specialties from a point to two points,
and in the remainder of the list fractional
ly. Later in the day, however there was
sagging tendency on account of an utter
lack of interest. The leaders OF both sides
seem all to have left the market, and in
their absence there is no one that cares to
try to make profits on either side. The
selling by tired holders OF long stocks
seemed to account for the slightly lower
prices as the day advanced. The outlook
is for a continuance of this listless market
for the present. The hot weather dullness
has set in, and although it is not to be sup
posed that every day will be like yester-
day. there is good reason for believing that
the remainder of the month will see very
little of interest in the market. spreal /
of the Brooklyn strike or less reassurlng
features in the money situation would be
followed probably by lower prices, and it
is possible that some OF the earnings state
ments may be so good as TO infuse more
life into the buns, but on the who.e moth
ing more than a traders market Is to be

| aging one. The undertone of the market
is excellent, and it is seen that stocks are

The grangers continue to occupy FROM
inent position in the regard of conservative
investors. The way in which these seeuri-
ties refuse to decline more than fraction
ally at any time, shows this in very con-
elusive manner if there were no other
knowledge of it. This confidence is un-
doubtedly well founded. The earnings of
the systems, the prospect OF an immense
corn crop and good spring wheat and other
crops. the daily and weekly increase in
the general traffic Of the lines, the excel
lent management that is shown in the
comparison of business done with results,
all seem to make their position impreg-
nable. st. Paul is the favorite of the
group. 1t is the king of the grangers at

ton rapidly in the future. President Mil

Atchison preferred is perhaps second in
the confidence Of the friends of the grang-

TEN during the past year and the phenom-

to be followed during the coming year by
a far larger corn crop then last years, by
general business conditions in the Atchi-
son territory improving every month, and
by even a more careful and economical
management than has already shown such
good results. The understanding is that
Mr.. Barr. the new traffic manager Of the
line, is to make it his particular business
to work for similar results in economical
hauling to those he achieved on the Nor
folk and Western last year 1t is perhaps
needless to say that the economy of the

Western has been one of the wonders of
practical railway men. Another factor
that is certain to be beneficial to the

The two injunctiOns against the payment
Of the Federal Steel common and pre-
ferred dividends have been continued by
the court before which the case is being
tried. The injunctions are still temporary,
no final action having been taken. The
news of their continuance however, had
depressing effect on the Federal Steel
securities yesterday, the common declin-
ing to 81 and closing at only Ia above
that level, and the preferred declining
from 81 to so. The street is inclined to be
bullish on the stocks at this level, as
whether the dividend is paid now or not
1t is certain that it is earned, and that 1t
will be laid aside for the stockholders.
