Physically, too, the work of great
campaign on the railroads tells upon a
speaker. There is a loss of sleep al
ways. Towns through which a train
may pass in dead of night often turn
out crowds who at least awaken the
candidate Then the exigencies of an
itinerary force him to get up early and
go to bed late.
But even if a man sleeps soundly
the night through on railroad train he
is not rested as he would have been had
he slept in a stationary bed. There is
reason to believe that in the soundest
sleep possible in a fast-moying train
the muscles are making unconscious
efforts to neutralize the movements of
the body caused by swaylngs anG jolt

New Iork--So far as the general char
acter of business is concerned, there Ia
no change from last week. The volume
of trade is fairly satisfactory, but ii is
largely of what is described as hand-to-
mouth character, and promises to con-
tinue SO until after the excitement at
tendant upon election has subsidized. For
eign trade. however, continues to present
a remarkable showing, and the steadily
increasing demand for American goods
, indicates that even the record-breaking
figures of the last two years will be
smashed in 1900 An important feature
of the situation is the European demand
for coal, based on the shortage abroad.
The stock market has been active and for
the most part strong. Strong financial
interests have for some time been heavy
buyers of stocks, and lately the public
also has been showing much greater
interest in the market Notwithstanding
the fact that already There has been
decided advance in values. the market
continues to hold well. In the last two
weeks there has been no reaction of com
sequence.
Chicago = Weakness and declining
prices was the general condition of ar
fairs on the Roard of Trade during the
week. Wheat and the nearer deliveries
of corn were particularly weak, the for
mer because of the old experience OF
heavy supplies of whea; prevailing over
theories of crop shortage at time when,
If there was substantial foundation for
the latter, the current consumption should
be making palpable inroads upon the
commercial stocks. The deficient produc-
ton contended for by the bulls, and in
favor of which Nere was so much that
seemed plausible, must now be abandon
ed. This the bulls in the market are
about ready to do, and are already look
ing around for fresh pleas for higher
prices. They have begun to pick flaws in
the prospects for the growing wheat crop
Of Argentina. As that country is at a
great distance and its wheat area covers
vast stretch of variable soil and eli
mate, doubtless there will he no difficulty
In discovering some sections where ua-
favorable conditions will prevail between
now and next February. Until that time
the crop will be subject to the many con-
tingencies that beset it in those ATTITUDES.
Already the home crop for next season
is likewise being investigated for Symp-
toms of incipient decay. During the
week numerous reports from various
parts of the winter wheat belt have cali
ed attention to the presence of Hessian
fly in the fall-sown wheat. Corn for the
current months delivery was 23i cents
bushel lower Friday than at the close
of the previous week, and for November
about liz cents down. This was not
from any change in the general situation,
but merely represented the abandonment

Oysters Have ManyFoes.

The oyster appears to be the most
perfectly protected creature in the sea,
yet it falls victim to the soft and APP
parently helpless starfish. The method
of attack is curious but effective. The
starfish clasps the oyster in its five
arms and quietly waits. Presently the
oyster opens its shell in order to get
food. This is the chance that the star
fish has been waiting for, and it
prompt injects into the shell little res-
dish fluid.
This acts as poison, paralyzing f.se
muscles of the oyster and thus making
it impossible for the creature to close
its shell. The starfish does not take
the trouble even to remove the oyster
from its shell, but eats it in its own
home aud eventually crawls away,
leaving behind the gaping, empty shell.

Vocal E-a~<:o,.

vocal ExGrTI0ns
In considering the campaign work of
man, the voice is the one thing that
gives uneasiness TO the speaker and his
friends. With voice gone, his work
is at an end, and it is known that the
voice is more likely to give away than
any other physical necessity in cam
paign. If Misunderstanding be thrust upon
candidate until the bone and tissue
of the hand are pulp, the public will
still come and will respect the fact that
the mans right forearm is in sling. But
If he cannot talk, most of the attractive
ness of the candidate takes wing.
Nerve tax and the consequent loss of
tone in the system are regarded as hav-
ing direct and vital influence on the
voice. DIR. Oscar A King, neurologist
and professor in the medical school in
the University of Illinois, has found
most subtle relation between the nery-
Gus system and the voice.
"As a basic proposition" he said,
you may trace every impediment in
speech to nervous influences. Starting
with this, the effect of a depleted nery-
GUS system on the voice is plain. TIE
mechanisms of the vocal organs are in.
tricate of themselves, and the nerves
which control these organs multiply
their complexities. In failing voice.
then, one must always look to the con-
dition of the nervous system. In the
cases Of Bryan and Roosevelt, the
things most calculated to derange their
nerves are those which react upon these

the boys have largely discarded the free

likely due To misdiTeeted instruction in

The Method of Rendering Is Adopted
by an Old Town Magistrate.
A few lawyers were sitting in one OF
the city restaurants few days ago eat
ing lunch and discussing different sub
jects, when one of them told the fol-
lowing story:
This occurred some years ago in the
office of former justice of the peace.
An attorney, who has since left Sioux
City, had been engaged to defend a
man for the crime of petty larceny. The
lawyer knew that the case against his
client was pretty strong one, and he
decided to beard the lion in his den. AS
he entered the room he told the Justice
of the case, the name of his client, and
added he did not think there was any
evidence to convict. AT the same time
he slipped $50 gold piece in the hand
of the justice, and gave him a knowing
wink. The court said nothing, but.
pulling open the cash drawer, slipped
the money in. The case went to trial.
and after the evidence had all been in
troduced there appeared to be no ques-
ton of the guilt of the defendant. But
his counsel was confident, thinking the
gold piece had done the work. The
court then summed up the case, and, to
the establishment of the defendants
counsel. said:
The court finds the defendant guilty
as charged in the information, and fines
him 500, of which $50 has been paid.
The defendant will be committed to the
county jail until the remainder is paid
into this court"
Nothing more was said, and the jus
tee settled back in his chair, satisfied
that the laws of the State had been up
held and a dishonest attorney had been
left in the lurch.--Sioux City Journal.
