Of all kinds. Two physicians treated
me, one of them for two months. Moth
ing helped me in the least. I neVe

at a time. / was belfast and had to
lie on one side all the time. I used
to wish for death to deliver me from
such torture.
"a friend suggested Dodd's Kidney
Pills, and after 1 had used them a
week 1 began to improve, and in about
four weeks 1 could sit up in bed. A
few days later I walked a quarter OF
a mile and back. 1 now do all my own
cooking and housework. The pain
has entirely left me and I am a well
woman. I have taken altogether six

The practice of oiling roads to keep

several parts of that state. The dry
season is so long that the idea Of OBJ
tanning dustless roads is naturally at

Offers to Find Missing Body.

FORT DODGE, May 1.-THE friends
of George Mcmahon, the farmer who
mysteriously disappeared about three
weeks ago, have received a letter from
a medium in Minneapolis, stating that
Mcmahon was killed by a neckyoke on
the same night of his disappearance.
The medium offers to find McMahon's
body provided $500 is placed in one of
the banks of this city, to be paid to
her if successful. Mrs. Mcmahon has
done this and says she is willing to
give $1,000 to locate her husband. Nh.
McMahon's friends have determined
lot to give up the search, and if the
medium fails to find the body they Will
probably place the matter in the hands
of the Pinkerton agency. They say
they will maintain the search, even if
it lasts for years.

Storm Has Spent Its Fury.
NEW YORK, May 10.-A banker
who participated in the movement to
relieve the market this evening made
this statement to the Associated
Press:
1--WE loaned $1,000, 900 in the market
after 10 o'clock today, some of it as
low as 6 per cent, and feel that the
crisis is ove l do not believe that
a single large loan will go down.
There have been tremendous losses.
Thousands Of accounts, representing
millions Of dollars, are wiped out.
But the banks are firm and the large
operators are, I think, capable of
caring for themselves. You see, they
have been taking large profits and are
capable Of standing up. At present
prices 1 feel that stocks are a good in
vestment and look for heavy buying
orders. A good day and the market
will be steady again. The banks
acted together today, but there was
no consonanc of agreement about it.
We placed about SIG, OOO, 900 in the ag-
gregate and the moral effect was
good. Wall street could not stand
many days like this, but as it is the
storm is weathered and the situa-
ton will improve from the opening
tomorrow"
An industrial leader made this state
ment to the Associated Press:
81 believe the worst of the storm is
over. They have been conferences of
Importance among the larger financi-
ers and it has been decided that every
mar of standing in the street shall
be protected. I had thought there
would be failures, but there are in
fuences strong. enough to avert at
work and 1 am no sure they will sue
coed. 1 look for buying orders and a
rally in the market. There will also
be peace among the interests now at

THE LIVE STOCK MARKET.
Latest Quotations from South Omaha
and Kansas City.


and Kansas City.
Cattle-There was another liberal run
Of cattle and as the supply for the week
up to this time has been heavy packers
started in to pound the market. Sellers
held for steady prices and as a result the
market was very slow and draggy and
1t was late before much of anything was
done. There were not far from 50 cars of
beef steers on sale, and packers started
in bidding generally a dime lower. In
some cases where the cattle just suited
them they did not try to talk off that
much, but in the case of the commoner
kinds they frequently bid more h a a
dim lower. Sellers held for steady
prices. but packers would not raise their
bids and for hat reason the market was
very slow and draggy and nothing like a
clearance was made until a late hour.
The cow market was in better shape,
there being only about a dozen cars on
sale. Bulls, If of satisfactory quality, met
with ready sales at yesterdays quota
tons. Stockers and feeders were not in
very active demand and in fact the mar
ket could be quoted slow and weak.
Hogs-There was not as heavy a supply,
of hogs as there has been of late and the
market opened strong to 2lac higher. The
bulk Of the early sales went at $5.671a,
with the choicer loads at 500, and occa-
~sionally one at s.. 721l, and as high as $5.75
was paid. The lighter hogs sold largely
at $5.65. After the first few rounds buy
ers lowered their bids. as they claim they
are paying almost Chicago prices. They
want to buy the general run Of hogs at
$5.62h and $5.65, or about the same as they
paid yesterday. Sellers were holding for
the morning prices, and as a result moth
ing was done for a time.
Sheep-The following We're the quota
tons: Choice wooded wethers, s4.2094.40;
fair to good wooded wethers, $4OOq4.20;
clipped wethers, $3.85@4W; fair to good

MAY BLOCK BIG DEAL
TumultuOus Proceedings on Wall Street
Affect Burlington Movement.
UNION PACIFIC PROTECTING ITSELF
of Northern Pacific Shares is to
Prevent Rivals BeneftIng-Kuhn Loeb
May now Assent to Triangular Arrange"
ment with the Northerners.

NEW YORK, May 9.-The Evening
Post, In discussing the Northern Pa
cifc situation, says: Kuhn, Loeb &
Co., it was creditably stated today,
have acquired sufficient Northern Pa
cifc stock to prevent, if they desire,
the approval of the Burlington pur-
chase by Northern Pacific sharehold-
ers. Their purchases for the most part
have been made within a week. Some
compromise will be made, as the par
ties in conflict are so important, and
Union Pacific interests, which the
management of that property felt were
threatened by the aggressive policy OF
the Northern Pacific, will be protected
by agreement or by Mr.. Hartman and
perhaps other Union Pacific directors
going into the Northern Pacific board.
These are matters which necessarily
are still unsettled, but Kuhn, Loeb &
90. now have virtually the power to
determine whether the Northern Pa
cifc will secure the Burlington, and
whether assurances given that their
Union Pacific interests will be fully
protected. 1t appears that they would
not push their advantage so far as to
stop the merger proposed by Mr.. Hill.
Dealing with the relations of things
in the turmoil Of Wall street the
financial writer of the Evening Post,
in a news leader in it's edition this
evening, says: The fundamental fact
in the Northern Pacific situation was
that the Burlington deal is placed in
jeopardy, as matters stand at present.
Union Pacific interests, who were
alarmed at the danger of their prop
erty, lying in the control of the Bur-
lington by the northern t~ransconti-
mental line, have bought the ratifica-
ton of the Burlington purchase by the
Northern Pacific shareholders unless
some agreement is made with them
which will protect their interests suf-
fcently.
The corner in the shares was I'M
~precedented. That development re-
suited, it is said, from Mr.. Keene's
clever appreciation of the situation in
the stock, the legitimate demand for
which had heavily reduced the floating
supply. The corner is a secondary
aspect, though the more spectacular
ono tO fha nub1ic in q movement of
~far-reaching consequences, possibly
putting a stop to the plans for the
greatest of railroad mergers, upsetting
President Hills audacious plan to have
the Northern Pacific control Burling-
tons operations.
The policy of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. has
been essentially n of self-protection,
and being now in a dominant position
where the balance of power" in the
western railway situation, so rudely
disturbed by Mr.. Hills Burlington
deal, has been restored, they will con-
tent themselves. Rather than create
lasting hostilities among the great
western railroads which would follow
the abandonment of the Burlington
deal, there probably will be made a
triangular arrangement, with the
Union Pacific sharing the control as
well as the Northern Pacific and the
Great Northern, under a modification
of the burden Of the guaranty.
