Discovered by a Woman.

Another great discovery has been
made, and that to, by lady in this
country. "Disease fastened its
clutches upon her and for seven years
she withstood its severest tests, but
her vital organs were undermined and
death seemed imminent. For three
months she coughed incessantly, and
could not sleep. She tinally discovered
a way to recovery, by purchasing of
us bottle Of DR.. Kings New Dis
covery for Consumption, and was so
relieved on taking first dose, that she
slept all night: and with two bottles
has been absolutely cured. Her name
is Mrs. Luther Lutz. Thus writes w.

The Blues Spirited Drill-Machine Gun
Sections New Outfits
The Blues had a spirited drill last
night, the last before their departure
for Mantle next Monday, 1t was at
first thought that the company would
parade outside and march through the
main streets downtown, but they con-
tented themselves with a good, lively
exhibition drill within the armory walls
There was the usual business meeting
of the company last night, but nothing
but routine business and a camp dis
cussion occupied the meeting hour The
members of the company discussed sew
eral camp topics, and are anxious to
form ball team to play the different
companies. Several Of the members
talked last night of forming league
among all the companies in the regi-
ment and that they thought it a good
plan to play during camp week for some
kind of trophy There is good talent
in the Blues and, in fact, in all the or
CARNATIONS, and very exciting games
would doubtless be played if several
teams could be formed. The Light
Guards have already organized a strong
team and have announced their inten-
ton of playing anybody and every
body.
A number of the Sarsfields were fin
ishing the packing of the equipments
of the company last night, and every
thing in that company is now prepared
for the start Monday. Most of the
bales, bedding, clothing. ETC., are pack
ed and ready for shipment
The Machine Gun section received
last night their new outfits, including
bags, knapsacks, belts, canteens, cups,
blankets, etc. The members were busy
up to a late hour fixing up their new
outfits and getting in readiness for the
start Monday.
The regimental cooks will report at
Mantle tomorrow.

The stock Market.

| New York, Aug. 1.-THE stock mar
| ket showed greatly increased activity
and strength to-day. The strength was
more general than has recently been
the case, but the heaviest demand was
| still confined to a small number Of
stocks. The majority of the industrial
stocks were listless and heavy. This
( was notably the case with the Iron and
Steel stocks, excet for Tennessee Coal
which regained points of its decline
| The bears were disposed to continue
| the contest early in the day, and dan
died the Tobacco stocks and Sugar
rather severely, but even in these the
! bear campaign showed convincing EVIL
dence of exhaustion before the day was
| over. Sugar ruled above last NIGHTS
level during the latter art of the day
and closed with a net gain of 13A per
cent American Tobacco retrieved its
earlier losses and Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit. though rather feverish at times was
higher all day.
The Southern group and the Southern
and Central Pacific stocks continued to
be the center of strength, with some ad-
| dltions to the former group over those
which moved upwards yesterday Lou
isville was the leader Of the group and
rose at one time nearly points its
close being small fraction below that.
Southern Railway preferred continued
strong, but Chesapeake and Ohio lag
ged. The Baltimore and Ohio stocks
came vigorously forward into the move
ment, the common rising an extreme 3
points and the preferred 2h, with sub
sequent fractional reaction. Norfolk
and Western preferred and Mobile and
Ohio also shared In the strength. The
buying Of Southern Pacific was very
large and evidently by powerful con-
certed movement, The stock rose 21a,
and Central Pacific gained points.
There was an isolated movement in the
Pittsburg, Cleveland, Chicago and St
Louis stocks, the preferred rising s
points to par, with a subsequent reac-
ton Of ga and the common rising ~
and losing the fraction. The grangers,
Atchison preferred and Pennsylvania
We're conspicuous, Northwestern gain
ing "a.
The leading cause of the more cheer
full feeling regarding the values of Sc
CuTllltS was lne easier COnulIlOn OF the
London money market, as disclosed by
the weekly statement of the Bank of
England. The rate for money fell APP
probably in London to-day, but still
rules above the bank rate. The bank
continued to buy gold to-day and to
import it from Germany, and the prob
ability is that if the private discount
rate should fall below the bank rate
that institution would again borrow
from the market in order to stiffen
rates, The large increase in st. Paul's
earnings for the second week in August,
in spite of the falling off in the grain
movement, was an encouraging factor.
The bond market did not share in the
increased activity Of stocks, and the
changes were small and mixed. Total
sales, par value, S1,947 900.
