A COSTLY PAPER.

A well known attorney of this city
was in st. Paul recently. A newsboy
prevailed upon hing to buy a copy of
the Globe. He handed the boy what
he supposed was nickle, but when
he got home he discovered that he was
short a five dollar gold piece. 1t then
occurred to him that he had passed
out the gold piece by mistake, tax
ing it to be nickle If he had been a
newspaper man he would not have had
ANYTHING but nickle to hand over.

NO EATING HOUSE.
Landlord Snyder Has Inside information
TO This Effect.

Fred H. Snyder, who returned Friday
night from Lake Okoboji, Iowa, where
he spent week, states that there is
no probability whatever that an eating
house will be constructed near the
union depot. He has seen the officials
of the road and speaks 'by the book. -
It is not the policy of railroads to own
or operate eating houses where there
are facilities so near as The Saul
paugh is to the depot, he says. The
hotel has had no trouble to care for all
who have come in on the trains, which
has been a limited number. The
number desiring meals is always tele-
sraphed ahead and these patrons are
waited on promptly and gotten OF on
time. The proprietor OF the kasota
eating house sold out two months ago,
and the present proprietor Will always
have more or less business from freight
trains and other sources.
The possibility of a new union de-
pot being erected has caused much
favorable comment on the part OF the
public, and there is no doubt but that
the move would be received with great
favor by our citizens.

CITY passed through the city on the

spite of some further bullish accounts,
seems to have measurabIy frightened in
the past week.
The rally in the market was encouraged
by buying on the part of certain large
interests here which are impressed by
the existing statistical position and the
decreased amounts of old cotton which
remain to be marketed before new crop
supplies can be counted on. Estimates
are made putting the probable visible
surplus, when the present cotton season
ends, at less than 5000 bales, against
1000, 900 bales at the close of the season
of 1S9S-99 Buying by such interests was
notably large, but at the advance sellers
were very much in evidence and the
market retains an irregular appearance,
which at times takes the form of renew
ed tendencies. Southern spot markets
have been fairly steady in the face OF
the weakness of position in the contract
market and the marking down of prices
at Liverpool for spots as we'll as futures
which was a feature of the week.

THE FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT,

DR.. Leslie E. Kelley, a physician OF
Dwight, Ills, native of New York State,
a graduate of Rush Medical College, and
a Doctor of Laws of the Missouri State
University, first announced TO the world
the fact that inebriety and norphinism
are diseases, and offered to those suffer
ing from any of them certain cure. Dr.
Kelley was engaged in regular practice
until the spread of his cure compelled
him to devote his entire time and energy
TO the extension of the work.
His discovery was not accidental, as he
began the study of it while a surgeon ii
the army in 1862, and pursued it diligent-
ly until his success was finally reached
The attendance at Dwight, Ills. became
so great that it was impossible to ac-
commodate all who came, and the Leslie
E. Kelley Company decided TO establish
branch Institutes in all parts of the
United States, and the one at Green's
bcro became the twentieth in the land
but every one knows that it is rs apt as
the first in its administration of the
Kelley Remedies.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, April THE speculative
enthusiasm for an advance in prices of
securities received decided shock in
the showing made by the clearing house
banks in their weekly statement today.
The buying demand fell away and stocks
came upon the market at declining prices.
The most important part of the earlier
gains were wiped out and the market
closed unsettled and irregular, prices
moving in contrary directions in differ
ent parts of the list and net changes
being much mixed The short session thus
ended began suspiciously enough, under
the influence of renewed buying orders
from abroad. which were said to have
their source in Holland. Bull pools re-
suned their operations in various stocks
and the continued strength in Sugar gave
tone to the Industrial list. Pennsylvania.

HEART DISEASE.
Some Facts Regarding the Rapid Increase
of Heart Trouble.

Heart trouble, at least among the
Americans, is certainly increasing and
while this may be largely due to the eX-
element and worry of American business
life, it is more often the result Of weak
stomachs, of poor digestion.
Real organic disease is incurable; but
not one case in a hundred of heart trou-
bic is organic.
The close relation between heart trou-
bic and poor digestion is because both or
CANS are controlled by the same great
nerves. the Sympathetic and the Pneu-
mogastric.
In another way also the heart is af-
fected by the form IF poor digestion
which causes gas and fermentation from
half digested food. There is feeling OF
oppression and heaviness in the chest
caused by pressure of the distended stom-
ach on the heart and lungs, interfering
with their action; hence arises palpita-
ton and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
making it thin and watery, which irri-
tates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is to improve the digestion and
to insure the prompt assimilation of
food
This can be done by the regular use af-
ter meals of some safe, pleasant and eff
fective digestive preparation, like
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be
found at drug stores, and which contain
valuable, harmless digestive elements in
a pleasant, convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular, per-
sistent use of Stuart's dyspepsia Tablets
at meal time will cure any form of stom-
ach trouble except cancer of the stom-
ach

list promptly gave way upon the appear
ance of the bank statement on the tape.
Preliminary estimates of the gain in cash
had placed it from four million to SIX
million dollars. Operations with the Sub
Treasury alone furnished an increase OF
four million to the banks. Wall Street is
in the dark as to what drain on the
banks resources has so far offset TINS
advantage as to bring the cash increase
down to 81, 73S, 400. 1t was also expected
that the continued liquidation of loans
for account of holders of government
bonds, who have been selling them TO
realize on the advance in prices would
Offset the expansion of loans on account
of stock market transactions to large
extent. The large realizing of specula-
tive profits in the stock market was in
dicative also of paying off of loans to
some extent. The street was wholly UNI
prepared for large increase in loans,
which showed the enormous expansion of
$12 1854, 300 This served to swell the re-
serve requirements to the extent of 3d.
669. $50 and the cash increase fell short
Of this by 81 ,931 $50, which therefore
measured the shrinkage on the surplus.
The inference is clear and unmistakable
that the encroachments made by specu-
lative demand upon the loanable re-
sources Of the banks have been outrun-
ming the increase from other sources A
check to speculative activity is indica-
ted.
