NOTICE.
To Dairynen and Farmers.

The Spring and the Autumn mark the per-
iods during which so many Premature Parturi-
tions occur amongst your herds. Abortion,
contagious and non-contagious, makes sad raw
ages with expected increase. Now is the time
to act and save money.
The attention of many intelligent observers,
including the eminent members of the u. S.
Department of Agriculture and the State
Board of Agriculture, has long been directed
to the consideration of this evil. Aided by
their reported investigations and experiments.
we have compounded a remedy which will
prove an efficient one in 70 per cent of the cases
of threatened abortion of cattle We have
named it Bovine Benefactor, and its name is
merit d. Any information desired regarding

ician and Surgeon, DR.. l. w. PARKS, of

TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.
Too True to BE Questioned.

MONTPELIER, VT., Jan II, 1900.
After having suffered for years with COM
plication of diseases and suffering night and
day with pain most unbearable, and at the
thought of taking more medicine it became so
obnoxious and nauseating could bear it no
longer, l decided to consult Prof. b. G,
wilkins in regard to my case. did so, and
when he described my case so accurately and
minutely without asking me question it gave
me confidence and'I commenced treatment at
once, and as a result l am free from pain and
comparatively well woman to day. l think
his skill in detecting and curing disease with
out medicine is truly wonderful. l think he
is an honest man and will not make any one
believe their case to be worse than it really is.
1t gives me pleasure to recommend him to the
public.

TOWN REPORTS
Order From the Watchman Office.

The pages of ths Town REPORTS printed
by the WATcHMAN COMPANY are longer and
wider, the type is smaller, and page con-
tains more items than the page set in coarse
type, narrow measure, and padded out to
increase the count.
The WATCHMAN REPORTS are accurately
printed, the work is we'll done, they are out
on time and the cost to towns is no greater
than for small page, cheaply printed re-
ports. The smaller the pages the more Of
them, and the greater the cost, even at a cut
price per page.

ness, to say the least OF It. We venture
the assertion that there is not one So
loon-keeper In the city OF Wheeling
that does not violate the law-not one.
II there is one let his speak. And yet
the Committee Of One Hundred Is de-
nounced as getters up Of strife, etc.
They are men from oil parties and ev-
cry church Is represented. They are
men OF means, and some OF them are
not church members at all, SO all these
charges must be without foundation.
But the most ridiculous charge Is that
they are trying to Cypress the poor, this
by President Bauer, OF the Trades As
sembly. If there Is one thing more
than any other that will be help to
the poor man. It Is to have our exist
Ing laws properly enforced. The one
prohibiting children's being put to
work when they should be in the school
ought to be enforced, and rigidly, too,
but do not agree with Voter" that
this ruins our boys and girls. but It Is
their having access to the sinks Of in
lquity so numerous In our city, that
leads to their downfall. Let all good
people Join in putting men Into office
who have the nerve to do their duty at
all times and under all circumstances.

To-day's stock market was the dull
est since the Monday preceding tho
election. There were no dealings OIL
any considerable scale and the move
ment of prices was sluggish and irreg-
ular and not important The market
narrowed very considerably, also, the
number Of different stocks dealt In be-
Ing smaller than for many days past. It
Is not improbable that to-morrow's hol-
idny prompted the curtailmrnt OF spec
ulative ventures. The dealings were
left very largely in the hands OF room
traders and the larger interests and
the public were apparently out or the
market entirely. There was no great
pressure OF liquidation, but when any
considerable volume of stocks was Of
fered there was not sufficient demand to
sustain the price. On the other hand
even smaller demand was sufficient TO
effect considerable advance in price.
as the selling orders in the market were
also on very small scale. The market
was very generally heavy in the carly
part OF the day. largely from the In
iiuence OF weakness In the London
market. The disclosure through yestcr-
days London settlement OF lonS ac-
count in Americans Is interpreted rs
weakening the technical position Of this
market and the growing tIghtness Of
money in London gives rise to the np-
prchension that New York may have 10
absorb considerable speculative liqui-
dation from that center. In fact the
selling for London account to-day was
estimated us high as $4,000 shares on
balance. Both call money and dis
counts In London are above the bank
rate. Under ordinary circumstances
this would lead to the expectation OF an
advance in the bank rate tomorrow,
hut the scarccness Of money Is due to

The death of Gen. Bidwell, Of Califor-
mia, removes one pre- eminently entitled
to the title of pioneer. He had been on
the Coast for nearly sixty years, having
been one of the first venturesome peo-
pie who made the long overland journey
through an unknown wilderness to the
Pacific slope. He was not attracted to
the West by gold. for he came down the
Sierra valleys long before the startling
discovery at Suffers mill. California
was then an agricultural country, and
Bidwell went into farming and ranching
and remained in 1t. He became one of
the largest land owners in the state, and
property acquired half century ago
made him a millionaire. He was
a man of more or less prominence in
California affairs all his life, and be-
cause of his earnest advocacy of prohi-
bition became well known throughout
the nation, especially in 1892. when he
was the temperance candidate for the
presidency. He is about the last of the
California pioneers who came to the
Coast prior to 40.
