Weekly Wall-street Review.
1t is very unlikely that 1900 will be a repe-
tition OF 1899. Even prosperity has it's fiuc-
tuations and drawbacks, especially when
cost OF material and labor rise to a point
that checks new enterprise or leads TO
overproductfon. with all the inconvenient
consequences that follow. The rise In many
commodities has been quite pronounced. In
pig iron and iron products the advance
has been simply phenomenal. owing to the
tremendous pressure of orders. The effect
OF this Is TO again bring into use many
obsolete and discarded plants in all parts
OF the country, which may run at a profit
for few months or years. but must ulti-
mately succumb TO the competition of
stronger and better equipped concerns
when prices recede TO the normal. There
are number OF very important enter
prises now held I'm allegiance because of the
high price of iron entering into permanent
structures. and when the present rush of
orders has been satisfied and some conces-
sions effected in values these buyers will
probably come into the market and so pre-
vent any serious or too rapid decline but II

and the attempts to realize would break

the argument that the recovery in prices

due from the selling OF stocks bought In the

FRED GEORGE COUNTERFEITED
DOLLARS IN THE PEN.
Was Bound Over Yesterday With
Bond of 800

Fred A. George, alias Pettingeu, of
Kiowa, who was arrested by Marshall
Kincaid of that town for passing counter
felt silver dollars, was bound over for
trial yesterday before Commissioner
Sherman in the sum of 81 800
The authorities hope to prove that
George IS an all around bad man and
crook and that he has served several
terms in the penitentiary for the same
crime as which he Is now charged.
Deputy United States Marshal Fred
Trigg has received a letter from the city
marshal Of LaHarpe, who states that he
knows George. He says that he knows he
served one term of seven years in the
penitentiary. The marshal claims that
while in the penitenuary working in the
mines, George was detected making coun-
terfeit dollars, although this was not done
until he had circulated quite a quantity
of them. Mr.. Trigg says that this only
goes to show what a clever and adept
crook George is. is thought he has also
served time in other states.

RULERS OF THE WORLD.
Me.t Eating Nations Are che Leaders

The ruling nations or the world are
meat eaters, and history records that
they always have been.
Vegetarians and food cranks may ex-
plain this in any way they choose. but
the facts remain that the Americans
English, French, Russians and Germans
are meat eating nations, and they are
also the most energetic and most pro-

The principal food Of the heroic Boer
soldier known as Biltong, is a sort Of
dried beef, affording a great deal Of nour-
ishment in a highly concentrated form.

The structure Of the teeth plainly IN
dicates that human beings should sub
sist upon 2 variety Of food meat, fruit
and grains, and it is unhygenic to confine
ones diet to any one of those classes to
the exclusion of another.
Meat Is the most concentrated and the
most easily digested of foods, but our
manner of living IS often so unnatural
that the digestive organs refuse to prop
erly digest meats, eggs and similar nutri-
tious and wholesome food but It is not
because such food is unwholesome, but
the real reason is that the stomach lacks.
