The doctor may be a good old mar,
but even so, medical examinations aud
the 'local-application" treatment are
abhorrent to every modest woman. They
are embarrassIng-often useless. They
should not be submitted to until every
thing else has been tried. In nine cases
out of ten, the doctor in general prac-
tice isn't competent TO treat female dis
eases. They make branch of medicine
by themselves. They are distinct from
other ailments. They can be properly
understood and treated only by one who
has had years Of actual practice and ex-
peIience IN This particular line. This is
true of DR.. Il. V. Pierce, chief consul

The Burlington statement, while 1t shows
a similar decrease in its earnings, never
theiess makes very f1attering showing
and the figures make an exhibit of what
would be equivalent to nearly 8 per cent
earned on the stock in the first five
months of the year. The outlook for the
new year seems to us on the whole very
bright, but for the war cloud in South
Africa That the British will prevail
sooner or later we have but little doubt,
but in the meantime should they suffer
further serious defeats our market will
De very materially affected. In conse-
quence we believe only in buying the bet
ter class of railroad securities as in any
disturbance they would suffer only tenn
some of the industrials will show very
large profits, but we hesitate to advise
purchases of this class of securities"

bankers and pawnbrokers are out large
sum as a result of their dealings with a
man who gave the name when there of
Joseph SWartz. While in Council Bluffs
ne wore large amount Of ieweIry par
hcularly diamonds, ard also had with
him number of unset stones He PLAYED
faro considerably, and several times Sc
cured short-time loans on the Diamonds
always redeeming the gems promptly
until the last trip, when he borrowed
more than usual.
1t is asserted by those who made the
loans that the gems pawred in previous
instances were genuine, and when he
came around again the bankers and BOX
ers did not examine them closely Thev
allege that when the loans became due
and Swartz did not come around to pay,
they started an investfgat on aid di COW
cred that he was gone. and that the Sc
CURLY they held for their loans was prac-
tically Valueless.
In all he is supposed to have secured
about $4,000. His victims include two To-
cal banks, several pawnbrokers, saloon
men and sporting men.
Since he has departed 1t is stated this
is his second engagement of the kind il
Council Bluffs. His first appearances was
in 1885, when he secured about $1,000 by
the same methods, most Of 1t from one
man.

for the month OF over $215 600, and coming
Oh top of yesterdays similar exhibition
by the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul,
made natural impression or sentiment
as going to show the inevitable effect of
the high prices of material upon the oper-
ating expenses of railroads. The grangers
were most affected, but prices in the rail-
road list generally ran down below last
nights level. The completion of the
period of money pressure, however, over
Swallowed all other considerations, and
gave rise to a feeling on the part of
security holders closely akin to eXulta-
ton.
About the time the London Stock ex-
change closed the most notable movement
of the day was inaugurated. The fact
that the periodical stock exchange settle
ment was completed with no failure of
great Importance was a gratifying sur
prise in the financial world. The interna-
tional stocks in the late buying were the
faVorites, in anticipation of a demand to-
morrow from London. Although the call
money rate advanced sharply in London,
discount rates dropped off fully q per
cent, with a resulting advance in the long
sterling rate in New York. The private
discount rate in Berlin also showed
further decline, so that the foreign mar
kets in which a crisis had been feared
all showed clear skies.
In our own market loans made today
will carry over until Tuesday. 1t was
this fact which ran the rate up to Is
per cent A favorable bank statement is
counted on for tomorrow, in spite of the
fact that some 100000 Of gold exports
will figure in the statement. On the reg
ular express movement of money to the
interior, the principal banks have gained
upwards of $2,500000, and on subtreasury
sides this there have been very large re-
ceipts of money mail, estimated all the
way from $4,000,000 to $7,000,0O0, so that the
net gain in cash from all sources is es-
tinated at from 100000 upwards.
In the late strength Of the market the
trunk lines were very conspicuous, led
bv the Baltimore & Ohio and Norfolk &
Western stocks. A rumOr was circulated
to the effect that the plan for harmonic
ing trunk line interests was soon to be
announced, and that II would include
Norfolk & Western, as well as Baltimore
& Ohio Gains in the speclalties were
larger than in the railroads, except that
Sugar and Metropolitan Street Railway
were more or less under pressure. The
New York City Gas companies, the coal
ers, General Electric, Pacific N and
the Steel and Iron stocks sho" some
striking gains, and many of the railroads
are a point or more higher. A notable
feature of the days trading was the num-
Der of odd lots dealt in.

clines, but the general tendency was up

CHICAGO, Dec. 29.-The Liverpool ad-
vance, and light receipts were a steady
ing influence to very quiet wheat mar
ket today, May closing unchanged from
yesterday. Germ closed a shade lower
and oats unchanged. At the close pro-
visions were practically unchanged from
yesterday.
Animated by a desire to emulate the
Liverpool market, which exhibited some
strength, and with light receipts as a sup.
port, V heat at the opening so far shook
off The holiday droWsiness as to show a,
shade gain, May at $685. $685.. Having es-
tablished a pathway &c in width the
market proceeded to keep within that
range, occasionally stopping to catch a
few moments sleep. The close was
steady, unchanged from yesterday, May
at 6S4S9&sc The foreign demand was
fiat and the local but little better, and
this from scaIpers who took fractional
profits.
New York reported j loads taken for
export. Seab0ard clearances eQualed in
wheat and -four 49,, 900 bu. Primary re-
ceipts 450 800 bu compared with 752, 400
last year. Minneapolis and Duluth re-
ported $50 cars, against 40 last week,
and 42S a year ago. Local receipts were
1l9 cars, 70 contract grade.
Corn was steady, but notable prin-
cipalIy for its dizziness. Receipts Were
light, cIearances liberal ard country Of
feriugs small. Elevator people sold spar
ingly, their offerings being readily taken
by shorts and the bull crowd as we'll as
by shippers, something of an outside de-
mand having developed about the middle
of the session Receipts, 227 cars. May
ranged from 32$4c to 327sN 33c, closing d
shade under yes erd9y, at 3z$4c
Oats We're very quiet, within range of
only Lice for May. Shorts bought lit
tic, but offerings were small. Receipts,

yesterday at $237sG4.
Provisions duh, but not as much so as
the grain markets. The tore was steady
owing TO light receipts CT hogs and firm
prices at the yards. Initial figures We're
the best for the dag, but the early gain
was lost on moderate selling by longs
The bull crowd was apathetic and gen

CATTLE-There has been but little
business transacted in the cattle alleys
this week. Receipts have been extremely
light and buyers have been scarce. This,
Of course, is due to the holiday season.
The week is an off one, but the market
will undoubtedly brighten up considerably
after the first of the year. With the ex-
