Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1901-07-26

THE Garrett Journal (Dcm.) proposes to
have all the "Pops" go into the Democratic
party; and then, when the Hill combination
gets control of that party, cali go into the Re-
publican party in a body. This would certain
ly give us a better pull than TO go into the
g. o. p. on the installment plan" All that
sounds funny, but the plan to get the Peoples
party out of existence by absorption shows the
least trace of common horse sense of any ma
newer ever attempted in the field Of political
acknowledgements Friend, lola.

MISSOUSIANS PRAYED FOR RAIN.

The people of Missouri prayed for rain last
Sunday, and copious showers are reported to
have fallen.
The governor of Missouri is an old-fashioned
fellow. and believes in the efficacy of prayer.
The governor of Kansas affects new-tangled
notions, and thinks prayer don't cut. much ice,
especially in dry weather.
We are inclined to think the Missourans'
prays didn't hurt 'em bit. Anyhow, they got
rain; and Kansas wouldn't lose anything by
following Missouri's example.

BALTIMORE PROVISIONS
STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE furious buy
ing 0f Delaware and Hudson and New
York. Ontario and Western in the last
half hour of the market saved the day
on The Stock Exchange from something
like positive dullness. After the recent
high level of speculative excitement
traders were unable to distinguish the
tone of the market from dullness, so
strong was the contrast, and yet there
were many notable advances in tl n
prices of important stocks and scale
of trading that would have attracted
marked attention previous to last No
vember. The recent attempts to awaken
a general speculation in the Soutnwk
terms commensurate with that which has
occurred in other groups were apparently
abandoned today. The general decline
in the buying demand led to large sell
ing to take profits, and except for the
special points of strength the market
WAS under considerable pressure from this
selling. A growing skepticism regarding
many of the confident statements which
have circulated regarding coming combi-
nations in the railroad world was fore
most motive of the selling. Conditions
led rather to a waiting policy than "a
Of the bears. Their accounts are already
so extensive that the buying to cover
shorts by thatlelement serves as an eff
fective Prop in the market at anv CON
siderable recession. The timidity Of the
bears is also due to a prevalent belief
tina. the many rumors current of impor-
tant developments in railroad consolida-
tions yet to come have a basis in fact.
The market, therefore, showed no acute
weakness at any time and the prof.
taking was well absorbed under the sus-
tanning power of the special strength
Az various times during the day this was
shown in the Pacifics, especially Union
Pacific in Baltimore and Ohio, Chesa-
peake and Ohio and Norfolk and Western
and in a number of less prominent stocks
including Cleveland, Chicago, Cincinnati
and St Louis, New York Central and
Omaha on light dealings. The absorption
of New York, Ontario and Western was
very large and confident. and was by
brokers credited with acting for the
commanding figure in the anthracite Sit
uation. The increase of two per cent in
the yearly dividend on Delaware ano
Hudson caught a large short interest
and there were wild fluctuations in .he
stocks under the distressed bidding py

CHANGE OF CLIMATE.

Not Necessary in Order to Cure Catarrh.
The popular idea that the only cure for
chronic catarrh is a change of climate, is
a mistake because catarrh is found in all
climates in all sections of the country
and even if change of climate should
benefit for time the catarrh will cer-
tainly return.
Catarrh may be readily cured in any cli-
mate, but the only way to do it is TO de-
stroy or remove from the system the ca
tarrhal germs which cause all the mis-
chief
The treatment by inhalers, sprays, pow
ders and washes has been proven almost
useless in making permanent cure, as
they do not reach the seat of disease.
which is in the blood and can be reached
only by an internal remedy which acts
through the stomach upon the blood and
system generally.
A new discoverey which is meeting with
remarkable success in curing catarrh of
the head. throat and bronchial tubes and
also catarrh of the stomach. is sold by
druggists under name of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets.
These tablets which are pleasant and
harmless to take owe their efficiency to
the active medicinal principles of Blood
Root, Red Gum and new specific called
Gualacol, which together with valuable
antiseptics are combined in convenient
palatable tablet form, and as valuable for
children as for adults.
Mr.. A. r. Fernbank of Columbus, Ohio
says: l suffered so many winters from
Catarrh that ! took it as a matter Of
course, and that nothing would cure it
except a change of climate, which my
business affairs would not permit me to
take.
My nostrils were almost always clogged
up, had to breathe through the mouth
causing an inflamed, irritated throat The
thought of eating breakfast often nauseat-
ed me and the catarrh gradually getting
into my stomach took away my appetite
and digestion.
My druggist advised me to try fifty
cent box of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, be-
cause he said he had so many customers
who had been cured of Catarrh by the use
of these tablets. that he felt he could
honestly recommend them. / took his ad-
vice and used several boxes with results
that surprised and delighted me.
| always keep a box of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets in the house and the whole family
use them freely on the first appearance
of a cough or cold in the head
With our children we think there is
nothing so safe and reliable as Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets to ward off Group and
colds and with older people I have known
of cases where the hearing had been
seriously impaired by chronic catarrh
cured entirely by this new remedy.

COTTON.
New York, Jan. LIFT was an unde-
cided crowu of traders that gathered in
the cotton pit this morning and the
action of TIE market all day denoted
wavering convictions and general timid-
ity in professional as we'll as in invest
ment circles. Everybody had looked for
a very firm opening in Liverpool this
morning as a response to our great rail-
ly of last night But in this they were
doomed to disappointment. as the Eng
lish market, after opening shade
higher, broke under heavy liquidation
and bear nammering, brought out by
disappointment in the Liverpool week
ly statement and bearish reports from
this side, the latter containing esti-
mates for increased receipts and
growth in crop estimates. On the first
call prices here declined three to six
points with the market steady in tone.
A brief pause followed, after which
positive weakness made itself appar-
ent on every hand. Long cotton came
out quite freely while some of the more
confident bears sold for a break. Noon
found values net six to-eight points
lower. But in the early afternoon the
market suddenly stiffened on smaller
estimates for tomorrow's receipts and
q lighter ''in sight" statement than ex-
pected the latter showing1 221. 900 bales
as against general Ideas of 100000 bales.
Still later, sheer absence of speculative
support caused prices to slowly sink
and at the close the decline had reached
a matter of six to nine points with the
market nominally steady in tone. Phil
adelphia interests sold May and bought
August; Wall Street failed to show in
terest on either side.
