Another Trotter Heard From.

Editor Of the Evening Capital:
have recently noticed in several Of
your issues mention made of the relative
merits of two horses in the city Of An.
napolis and styled "rotters. Being an
admirer OF good horses. and those who
have some speed. let me look up the two
so-called trotters. Since | came in this
community to live have never seen OF
heard Of any horse that could be even
accused OF being trotter.
Having seen each OF the two horses
would like to say. have horse. used
to haul cabbage and potatoes to market
and sometimes 60 to campmeeting.
have never claimed him to be a trotter
but would like to say that have some
little money, about three hundred dol
lars, which will put up against either
one OF them. and also the horse and my
next seast MS crop. and If after giving
either one Of them minutes start in q
one-mile race, and cannot beat either
one one-eighth OF mile. will forfeit the
whole thing. horse and all. and any thing
else may have OF value. such as may
be found on an Anne Arundel county
farm. can be found any Thursday OF
Saturday at the stand in the market with
load OF cabbage and potatoes.

Eighty-Fiye Gases.

There are eighty five cases of measles
among the Annapolis public school chill
dren, which has diminished the attend
ance very perceptibly. The disease
originated in the school from little boy
who was taken sick. and was sent to the
hospital room where he was allowed to
lie down and be covered up. Soon it
was found the child had an eruption on
bis face. neck and hands. A cab was
summoned and he was sent home. but
not before the other children had been
subjected to the contagion. which proved
to be measles. The child evidently had
measles before he LETT home in the morn
ing for school. One physician in town
has eighteen cases OF measles on his Wis
ting list.

DUN'S WEEKLY
 TRADE REVIEW Iron Industry Embarrassed By
 Decline in Prices. THE CAUSE IS OBVIOUS Prices of Materials Are Gradually Yield ing and Pig Iron and Steel Billets Could No Longer Sustain
 the Advance
THE CAUSE IS OBVIOUS

New York, February 23-R. G. Dun & Co.'S. weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 ''Prices in materials are yielding. If not the best news possible for some spectators try, since industries could not long pros- per without reaction from the extreme prices, caused by actual or supposed scar city of materials last year. Some help comes from new industries that have opened. The causes are many for betterment, but the re- vision of quotations giving promise of great CT activity in all the chief industries is brighter now than ever. The great iron in- dustry has been embarrassed by prices for pig and billets, which were no longer sus- tained by the gradually yielding prices of products. Considerable transactions are now reported at Philadelphia s1@1.5O per toll below recent quotations; at Pittsburg 2O,- GOO tons Bessemer have been sold, and 75,- 600 tons billets, both iron and steel being reported s1 per ton lower. The new fur naces supplying foundry iron have been competing sharply at the east, and small sales of Bessemer have been made for Pitts burg delivery at 50d65c below previous quo- tations. Sheets are strengthened then by the new combinations, though 1t does not embrace some large works, but with this addition of 500.000 tons yearly and its sales to the hoop and tin plate companies, the national steel has secured large and rich mines in Minnesota.
 Plates are still weak as most consumers are provided far ahead, but the Pacific or ders cover 1000 tons and the Chicago and Northwestern has placed orders to the east for 5,600 tons bridge work. Rail mills are full but have taken a small contract for export, and better business enables tin plate works, which have been idle, to re- sume. Hides at Chicago have again yielded making per cent fall in a month and ' per cent since December 30. Supplies ac- cumulate, and on wharves at Jersey City 250,000 sides were landed from India.
 At last it is admitted that wool quota tions, so long held, are fully 3 cents per

The explanations are many; the fact is that when mills make enormous sales of heavy weight goods and then bought no wool the fable that their stocks were exhausted ceased to have force. In fine medium sell ing at 5s cents secured and other wool down the low grades, the fall Is general and English markets are also weaker. Goods with fine grades have been opened with much less advance in price than was made on cheaper grades, but cancellations continu numerous.

TEMPLES THAT THROB.
Headache Like Needles in Your Brain
 Whether Sick or Nervous Attack
.DR. HARTEp.s IRON TONIC

effects a perfect cure Many sufferers pa- tiently submit to attacks of headache with the idea there is no cure on earth for them. There is a cure. Headaches, whether at tended by sickness of stomach or other wise, are caused by disordered nervous system. Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic, by it's purifying regulating action on the blood, tones up the nervous system, gives easy and natur- al digestion, puts the whole system in a vigorous state of health. Here are strong words from one who knows:
 "Chotard, Miss, Dec 6, 1897. "1 had suffered from violent periodical headaches for many years, with no hope of relief. when I was advised by Hon. w.. P. Lee, of Hamburg, Ala, to try Dr. Har- ter's Iron Tonic. I did so, and the result was a wonderful improvement in general health and the headaches ceased. I am never without a bottle in the house.

 'Oak Cliff, Dallas, Tex, 12-16, 1897. Dallas News: Gentlemen-I beg to state that I received a sample bottle of Dr. Har- ters Iron Tonic, which I was very glad to get. l think it a great remedy, and be- lieve it will do all claimed for it. I am highly pleased with my experience with it, and take great pleasure in recommending it to those who suffer from indigestion and constipation. Respectfully,
