WALL STREET GOSSIP-Strong, Stur-
gis & Co. and II. Holbert & Son: 1--WE
have not had such a strong undertone to
the stock market for many weeks as has
prevailed here today and although the
speculation is limited. prices all show an
imp owing ard a decidedly firm tendency
1t looks as If liquidation had spent itself
and with cheap money and stocks in mod
crate supply with any demand they ought
to sell materially higher. There is de-
cided turn about in the sentiment here.
People are looking with good deal of at
tention at the industrial stocks and
at ruling prices they certainly look at
tractive. Tennessee Coal & Iron for ex-
ample has been bought with good deal
of liberality today. The declaration Of It's
dividend added confidence In railway
stocks, st. Paul, Quincy, Baltimore &
Ohio, Southern railway preferred, Atchi-
son common and preferred, Montana Pa
cific and Louisville G. Nashville ought all
to prove attractive purchases. We don't
look for rapid advancing market, but
we do feel that it is time to look about
and commence to pick up some stocks
All in all, We feel mildly builish, the idea
being that the worst has been seen here
and that the market will gradually work
with an upward tendency from this time
on" -

A WOman's Awful Peril.

"There is only one chance to save
your life and that is through an oper-
alton" were the startling words heard
by Mrs. /. B. Hunt of. Lime Ridge,
Wis, from her doctor after he had
vainly tried to cure her of frightful
case OF stomach trouble and yellow
jaudice. Gall stones had formed and
she constantly grow worse. Then she
began to use Electric Bitters which
wholly cured her. It's q wonderful

Ex-GovERNoR E. w. Wilson, Of
West Virginia, in long letter to the
Washington Poet. has replied to the
arguments commonly used against
holding the Philippines and the an.
nexation of Cuba. He favors both
these policies, cites Democratic actions
and argume nts in their favor and de-
clares that the Monroe doctrine is moi
an obstacle to their accomplishment.
He especially calls attention to the
fact that leading Democrats beginning
with Jefferson, and coming on down,
have urged the annexation of Cuba
and With no reference to the ssconsent
az the governed"

TRUSTS" Everywhere.

About 100 Puget Sound loggers will
enjoy six weeks vacation beginning
June l, in order to keep up the price
OF the logs. The steel trust has closed
its mills and laid off 5000 men in or
der to do the same thing for steel.
The Seattle union cooks and walters
have adopted a raised schedule of
wages, and if they stand for it they'll
win. The building trades unions of
New England have at last fastened
the eight-hour-day rule upon that
region. The carshop men of New
York Central railway are out on a
strike and the freight conductors and
brakeman of the Montana Central
division of the Great Northern railway
have just quit work refusing new
wage schedule requiring that ten
hours work shall constitute a day.
So it goes all along the line in these
days of wire-woven combinations

organization, combines make profitable
sport of your till.-Whatcom Blade.

said to be saving to the government.
Spectators in this kind of contracts
last year cleared $142, 900 on 5775 mail
routes taken by them, and sublet for
that much less than they bid. The
service generally suffers from these
contractors, who, often by misrepre-
sentation secure carriers who are
either forced to throw up their Jobs
soon, or do not carry them out proper
~. tits also great injustice to allow
the outside bidders to get in, although
the local people who carry the mails

A LOADED logging train on the Seat
tie & International crashed through a
high trestle Tuesday, the engine, nine
cars and caboose being wrecked. The
crew went down with the train and
miraculously escaped death, although
four men were badly injured. The
trestle was the lonSest on the road AID
ITO feet high in the center. The
cause of accident is mystery, as the
passenger train had passed over safely
shortly before.
The ancients believed the rheuma-
tism was the work of demon within
a man. Any one who has had an
attack of sciatic or infiammatory
rheumatism will agree that the info
ton is demoniac enough to warrant
the belief. It has never been claimed
that Chamberlain Pain Balm would
cast out demons, but it will cure
rheumatism, and hundreds bear testi-
mony to the truth of this statement.
One application relieves the pain, and
this quick relief which it affords is
alone worth many times its cost. For
sale by G. v. Dunbar.

Eastern Oysters A Success.

,Wachsmuth, proaiuenkoyste
man and pioneer in the enlttre Of
Eastern oysters in this psy,, was over
from Oysterville. this week paying his
taxes and othersbusiness.
Two years ago Mr.. Wacbsmuth
shipped in a car OF Eastern oysters and
planted them on his beds near Oyster
vile. While it was an experiment OIL
his part, the venture has proven a
success, and he now has the Eastern
oyster of sufficient size to placed on the
market, and by next year he will sup
ply the trade quite extensively from
his beds. As matter of fact, the
venture has been successful til he
has ordered another load, which he
expects to arrive in the course OF a
week, the car having left Rhode Island
from whence the oysters come, the
latter part of April.
Mr.. Wachsmuth believes that the
culture OF Eastern oysters will be a
paying business on this bay, but he
says the teds will have to be contin-
ually replenished from the eastern
shores, as they will not, he thinks,
propagate in these waters. Mr..
Wachsmuth says he hears so much
about the success of the oyster bust
ness on the Sound that he is thinning
of making trip up there and investi-
eating. The chances are he will find
but few making better success in
that line than he s,himself.-Willapa
