l.. j. NASH was out to see the game
of football on Thursday last. He knows
as much of football as does his brother
Will of Two Rivers. He didn't see a
game of football on the day he went out
because of Green Bays funk, but the
practice game furnished him with an
opportunity of expressing the opinion of
a tenderfoot. He thought the piling up
of players in "bucking" was wholly I'M
necessary and that the players should
give the under dog" show
This recalls Jerome pierces comment
on the first game he saw.

why didn't he ask him then in gen.
tlemanly way said the Chief If the
other fellow didn't have room enough

he pushed, if asked certainly would have

him out of the way"

Volume of Business.
Speculative Sentiment Slowly But

The Market Again Invaded by n

The General Situation.

New York, May 17.-Today's stock
provement in values. Business was again
in only moderate volume, but interest con-
tinued well diversified. After taking into
account many and various matters which
have been engaging attention for the past
two or three weeks it was not easy to
assign definite causes for the markets
strength because the days situation COM
prised nothing whatever that was lew.
| There was indeed perceptible improve
ment in the speculative temper .'he
origin of the effective buying of the day
was rather difficult to discover. Commits
sion houses were only moderately active
and foreign houses sold a good many more
stocks than they bought. Even the man
ipulation that was apparent in some quar-
tiers of the market was accompanied by
less than the usual amount of campaign
literature. AS noted, the day was feature
less, so far as any actual developments
were concerned.
The money market continued easy and
sterling exchange was firm. The usual
sentimental effect was produced by the
publication of the st. Paul's weekly traffic
returns, wherein an increase of gratifying
proportions was shown, notwithstanding
that last years returns were abnormally
swollen by the heavy wheat movement in
cidental TO the Letter corner.
The local traction shares advanced on
the belief that at the extra session of the
Legislature the franchise taxing bill would
be materially modified. There was very
little in support of this notion in the morn
ing's dispatches from Albany, but it was
reported that there were chances that
compromise measure, more favorable to
the corporations, would be substituted fin
ally for the amended measure as outlined
| this morning.
| The granger shares made substantial ad-
vances, as lid Southern Pacific and Atchi-
son preferred. The bond market was very

New York. May 1.-THE absence of any
striking news regarding the progress Of
the crop leaves the trade in a state of
suspense. The crop reports are of the
usual run at this time of the year, neither
particularly good nor actually bad. 1t is
TO be noted that the South is sending very
few reports of any character this year and
this is taken as an indication that the
crop is doing fairly well. AT the same
time the trade situation is remarkably sat
isfactory, and many believe that higher
prices will result despite the fear of a big
crop, temporarily at least.
Few felt disposed to operate on the short
side today. and so long as Liverpool shows
no sign of apathy it is likely that prices
will be maintained.
There was little in the way of business
today. but the undertone was much better.
Weather advices today were perfect. The

BILE for the funds with which to pay
for it. The ladies were aided in their
selection, at their own subsequent re-
quest, by three gentlemen connected
with the choir. These six persons,
after much correspondence with organ
builders; selected Lyon s. Healey Of

ment and place it in the church, the
Ladies Aid Society to be responsible
for the cost. On last Wednesday

that the money for the organ had all

turned to Chicago. They expressed
thanks to all who had assisted them
in the good work. These ladies are

There are several buildings that

a crowd in them. The postofiice,
Posten's building, the Odd Fellows
block and the Brock, Reed and Wade
block ought to all have fire escapes.
The School building is fire trap and
some way should be provided for the
escape of the little ones in case of
Ore.
If a fire should break out now they
would have to come down the central
entrance right over the fiues and these
places would be masses of flame by
the time that the alarm was given.

SOME COMMENTS.
PIttsburg Times Takes Whack at
Our Snake Story.

A story comes out of West Virginia
from where no end of marvellous sto-
ries come, telling Of a woman in the
last stages of consumption who was
bitten by a copperhead snake and who
subsequently recovered says the Times.
She had become so feeble from the
disease that death was expected at
any time. But after the snake had
bitten her she began to rally, and
kept on improving until she has near
iy doubled her weight, and is now
thoroughly free from the disease.
The authorities who stand back of
he story say that the injection of
Dermanganate of potash beneath the
vomans skin to nullify the snake
eenom not only overcame the poison
rom the bite, but also cured the con-
sumption. From this distance it is
lard to judge the story on its merits,
)ut permanganate of potash is such

md its action SO we'll known in medi-
cine and chemistry that it is just pos
ible mistake has been made.

has been tried it will be found that it
vas not the permanganate of potash,
out the virus from the serpent's fangs
that cured the woman. Consumption
S caused by minute creatures that de-
FOUR the tissue of the lungs. As they
multiply and extend their ravages the
patient dies from a destroyed lung.
Now, possibly the venom of the snake
proved fatal to the diminutive crea-
lures that form the harmful factors
in consumption, and when they sick
ened and died there was nothing for
the woman's lungs to do but get we'll
If the West Virginia doctor expert
ments along this hypothesis his pros
poets will be brighter, and he will
have the satisfaction of knowing that
if his patients die he can attribute it
to the consumption, while if they re-
cover it will prove that the copper
head is a specific for the disease. In
the latter event the. copperheai will
have a day of great prosperity ahead
of him, greater, indeed, than that OF
the West Virginia man who furnished
the startling story.
