New York. Sept PR. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade today
says:
The reaction in the stock market is
not sign of anything outside that
market, but has set many to look for
signs of reaction elsewhere. Such
signs have been hard to find. 1t has
been for months wonder that the de-
mand for products was sustained at
rates exceeding past consumption in
any year, Notwithstanding the general
rise in prices. But the demand does
not appear to abate and the rise in
prices continues. A partial explanation
is that scarcely any classes of products
directly consumed by individuals has
advanced as much as the wages and
employment of labor. But products
ing have advanced much more, because
of business done and in anticipation of
business for the future. Higher prices
cause shrinking demand, other things
being equal, but this year other things
are not equal.
Wheat exports fall little below last
year, but in three weeks, flour included,
have been S,656. SIT bushels from Allan

9o7, SCI last year. But western receipts
have been 21,759.S52 bushels, against
23,099,379 last year, and even more inn
pressive are the receipts of 1S,515,9S2
bushels of corn, against 1l.117,4SS last
year, and the exports of 9,201,42T BUSH

James Reed Injured

Mr.. James Read struck his leg
against cake of ice in such a manner
as to bruise it severely 1t became very
much swollen and panied him so badly
that he could not walk without the aid
of crutches. He was treated by physi-
clans, also used several kinds of Iini-
ment and two and half gallons of
whiskey in bathing it, but nothing gave
any relief until he began using Cham
berlain's Pain Balm. This brought al
most complete cure in a weeks time,
and he believes that had he not used
this remedy his leg would have had to
be amputated. Mr.. Reed is one of the
leading merchants of Clay Court
House, W. Va. Pain Balm is uneuualed
for sprains, bruises and rheumatism.

1T is a singular fact" said a man
in the show business, that Illusions,
as we call EN-, don't fool animals. I've
seen that proved over and over again
A few years ago l had what is known
as the Mystic Maze at the Nashville
exposition. 1t was simply room filled
with mirrors SO arranged that you
seemed to be in narrow corridor full
of turns. 1t was very puZzling, and
l used to get lost in the place myself,
and it never bothered my dog a mo-
ment. He would run through it from
end to end at full speed and never
bump against mirror.
Il saw something in the same line
in Frisco not long ago. A friend of
mine had an illusion called the haunt

be an ordinary swing, hung in the
center of a good sized room. and the
thing began to move. 1t goes back
and forth and finally clear over the
top-that is to say, it seems to. What
really turns round is the room itself
the swing standing perfectly still 1t is
good illusion. and when the room is
revolving rapidly there never was a
man who could keep his head in the
swing.
1t seems as if he must certainly
pltch out, and if the motion is kept
up he gets deathly sick. But pet cat

the edge of the seat and never turn a

who are looking to a change of location,
will find it to their material advantage to

country that have hitherto been without
adequate railroad and proper market
facilities.

inducement to settlement.

Railroad men scott the story that any
one tried to wreck the st Paul train last

fall on the track. Maple is not found in

up, while there is plenty of oak which
would have answered the purpose of
wrecking as we'll. The story first ap-
peared in GAINESVILLE daily, and has
caused trainmen much uneasiness, be-
cause they are averse to notosiety that
arises from such sources.
