GETTING AT THE CAUsE.-You are not
feeling well you say. Some part OF your
system Is out OF order. Food gives you dis
tress, you have headaches and u weak, tired
and depressed feeling. Or 1t may be that
scrofula, rheumatism or cetarrh troubles
you. Whatever it Is, your first business is
to get at the csnse and remove 1t, To do
this ought not to be difficult, provided you
have the help Of the right medicine. The
best medicine money can buy is Hoods
Sarsaparilla. 1t strikes at the root of q
great variety Of diseases, and completely
cures them. For instance, the cause OF dys-
pepsia is weakness of the stomach and loss
of digestive power. This medicine cures
dyspepsia by restoring the proper digestive
fluids and giving tone and strength to the
digestive organs. The cause Il that tired
feeling is impoverished blood, and 1t is
cured by enrching and vitalzing the blood
with Hoods Ssrsapsrilla. The cause Of
rheumatism is acid in the blood. This med
icine neutrsizes the acid and permanently
cures rheumatism. All scrofulous diseases,
salt rbeum, pimples and eruptions are man
ifestly due to impurities in the blood and
are cured by expelling these impurities
with Hoods Sarssparills. The record OF
cures accomplished by this medicine is con-
elusive proof of its merit, People buy il
with perfect confidence that it will do them
good-and it does not disappoint.

Bruised and battered as we were,
and covered thick with that slime OF
the swamp, we must have presented a
pitiful sight when taken before Butler
and Brant over back of the Canasera-
ga. We went over the rise Of ground
that Murphy and his followers had
made, and as we did so, came upon the
body of poor Hon Very, terribly mu-
tilated. He had died fighting and no
less than six Senecas lay dead about
him.
"Oh, but it's long lane that has no
turning" sneered Butler as he looked
at my battered features, tumbled hair
and torn attire. Then he laughed and
stepped nearer, slapped me first on one
side of the head, then on the other

Brant's voice from the farther diam

Decline Accounted for by a Rumor
of a Change in the Sugar Tariff
at the Coming Session of Con-
greSS
THE DAYS TRADING
WAS VERY LIGHT
Brokers Took More Interest in the
Yacht Race Than in the Market
and the Aggregate of Sales for
the Day Was Barely 100000
Shares

New York oct. 1.-The lively inter
est in today's international yacht lace
took many stock exchange members
away from the board room and still
further diminishei the volume of the
trading. The days aggregate sales
were barely 100000 shares and the
fluctuations of prices was very mar
row for the most part.
The exceptions worthy of special
note We're in the industrial list and
amongst the dormant and less impor-
tant railroad stocks. Liquidation IN
sugar was the feature of the meeting,
following a sharp break in prices yes
terdayp The usual lack of information
regarding the movement was one of
its features. The room traders Joined
in the selling in an attempt to make a
quick turn, and their covering caused
a rally of a point. The stocks extreme
decline was "A.
The gossip to account for the decline
included rumOrs that the insiders We're
liquidating on apprehensions of a
change in the sugar tariff at the COM
ing session of Congress, or of unfriend-
ly legislation. Other rumors had it
that insiders, who had sold at recent
high prices were depressing the price
to get back their stock The general
feeling of distrust of the blind pool
methods of the great industrial corpo-
rations, which has reached an acute
stage since the recent Amalgamated
Copper episode, was a factor in sugar
and in a number of other industrials.
There were declines of IA to
points in the American Ice stocks, Col
orado Fuel, National Salt pfd., Gener-
al Electric and American Express
Brooklyn Transit also weakened ia
The waiting attitude of the market was
partly due to expectations of dividend
action on the United States Steel
stocks and the present attention of a
promised financial statement. The nom
appearance Of this as the session drew
toward its close emphasized the weak
ness of the industrials. Amalgamated
Copper itself was rather firm, rising a
point then losing it, and stiffening
again to about the best AtchisOn was
notably firm and gained a point on ru-
mors that the directors would increase
the semi-annual dividend rate TO per

There were some other firm spots in
the railroad list and the general under
tone was rather firm on a belated rec

cuperation Of money market resources
