A Life and Death Fight.

Mr.. w. A. Hines of Manchester, la.
writing of his almost miraculous escape
from death, says: Exposure after
measles induced serious lung trouble,
which ended in Consumption. I had
frequent hemOrrhages and coughed night
and day. All my doctors said I must
soon die. Then began TO use DR. Kings
New Discovery for Consumption, which
completely cured me. [ would not be
without it even if it cost $500 a bottle.
Hundreds have used it on my recon-
mendation and all say it never falls to
cure throat, chest and lung Troubles. y

THE PILGRIM wEpr Cop1oUsLY
Scene Was One That Affected Him
Deeply.

Idlers standing about the artesian
we'll yesterday morning were concern
ed at the appearance of stranger on
the corner, who wept copiously as he
gazed down Lee street. He was an
Eastern traveller who had spent some
time in China, and as he took in the
vista to Minis store, with its gully
washed sidewalks, grass grown cutters
and generally unkept appearance the
tears flowed anew. He said it remind
ed him of some alley-way in Tien Tsin,
where the missionaries are now being
murdered, and quite overcome by his
feelings he refused to be comforted
even when an alderman assured HIM
that the street would be curbed next.

COUNCIL no DISCUSS SCREENS
This Problem is on Docket For Mon
day Night.

The city council is up to the screen,
fguratiYely speaking, and the inter
esting question ''to screen or not
to screen" will be debated by that au-
gust body at the maeting tomorrow
night.
The result of this deliberation of the
solons will be interesting.
Whether or not the council has the
right to require the removal of screens
from places where mild drinks are dis.
pensed is the question for debate, and
the ordinance committee, to which il
was referred some two or three weeks
ago, will probably file areport.
Upon this matter there is probably
some difference of opinion among
those who Will pass upon it,
The places where these mild beVer
ages are dispensed are required to pay
no special tax, as were the saloons that
were formerly conducted there when
the screens were put in.
The new proprietors have 81 IMPLY lei
the screens remain in place.
Some of the councilmen think the
mild drink men should "pull down the
blinds" as it were, and it now remains
to be seen whether or not they will
tackle the problem by adopting ar
ordinance requiring that this be done,
provided they have the legal right.

NO T1D1NGs FROM THE BUREAU
Relative to The Exact Census of
Americas.

Supervisor Wetteroth stated yester-
day that he had heard nothing from
the Census Bureau yet relative to the
count made in Americas, and it may
be several weeks before exact figures
are obtainable. In many cities where
the result has been announced Yir-
tuous howl of disappointment has gone
up. It is generally known here that
Americus will barely miss 5000, and
people are apparently satisfied thereat.
As fast as the official count is made
known in each of the cities that has an
ambition greater than that of the cross
roads variety there will be heart
burnings and profane language and
vain imprecations against careless
enumerators.

PRICES OPENED ADVANCING

New York; June 12.-The small contingent of professional room traders whose opera tions made up todays stock market found difficulty in causing any movement of prices.
 The prevailing dullness was a charac- teristic of all the security markets of the world. Speculation waits on the develop ments in China and the money markets in Berlin and Paris. The firmer tone in Lon don and Paris on early reports of Brit ish success in the Transvaal caused prices to open higher, but they quickly declined on realizing and on short sales by the traders, induced by renewed strength in wheat on continued drouth in the north west.
 The outlook of the crops was domi- mating influence in the market all day. not only in the movement of prices shown, but in the intense dullness in the trad ing.
 The calmness of the money market, in spite of this large volume of credits out standing and an unusually low proportion of cash reserves, is testimony to the sound- ness of and confidence in the financial sit uation in this country.

Showers and threatening weather with disturbing con- dtions prevailing in Louisiana and rains in Texas last night created a steady market which from the opening advanced to a level of ten points on August and five points in October. The weekly crop bulle- tin was made known and this was not fa- vorable to the crop and had its effect to- wards strengthening the market. As the session was drawing to a close informa- tion came from New York to the effect that one or two prominent firms there were buying August and selling out July, which considering the discount at which the for mer is selling at and in view of the late- ness of the crop seems the proper thing to do.
