Heroine Saves Her Young Sisters
from c-suicide's Body Founl.

Recently a number Of men supposed to
sc from Chicago have made an effort to
secure control of the old Rudolph Hanks
farm in the town of Pleasant Prairie,
anu 1t Is stated that they are to reopen
the search for the wealth which Is sup
posed to have been hidden by the old
man previous to his death, in 1890. Ru-
dolph Hanks was rope-mnker, but dur
ing his life he boarded UP Il little for
tune in money and lands, In the fall of
1879 he became suddenly insane and was
sent to the asylum at Oshkosh, where he
died short time later. Only y few days
before Hanks lost his mind he sold sew
eral pieces of valuable property, aud no
trace of the money received for the prop
erty has ever been found. The estate
was settled, but although Hanks often
received large sums of money none Of It
was found about the premises. From
incohcrent mutterings during the months
that he was confined in the asylum, it is
said, the fact was brought out that the
old man had buried large sums of money
on his farm near the house. Ncighhors
of the old man say that he often worked
late at night III one of the remote cor
ners of the farm. Men who had close
acquaintance with Hanks say that at the
time of his death he must have been
worth $50, 900, and as none Of this money
was ever found it is supposed that this
amount is hidden under the soil OF the
little farm

The London stock exchange closed one
hour after the New York exchange open
ed, owing to the difference in time. Hence
the full force of the Wall street tluctua-
tions was not felt until night. when the
cables told of the panic in New York.

over New York's action. had the most

the crash in stocks just rs much III pro

any other city. Hundreds of residents
of the national capital, who few days

WAS A "BLACK THURSDAY"

Epitome of the Darkest Day Wan
Street Has Ever known.
Black Friday and the panics OF '73
and '93 cannot longer be referred to as
high water marks of calamity in Wall
street history, A new record was made
Thursday. 1t was Il day Of whirlwlnds,
wherein fortunes were blown to frag-
mentS, where industrial fabrics were
wrecked, where the savings of years
were swept away. Northern Pacific was
the keynote of the situation. 1t was the
pivot upon which the market swung.
Enough money was lost to build fifty
Northern Pacific roads, to girdle the
world with transportation lines. $40 hun
dreds the panic meant fortune. TO
thousands it meant ruin.
Early in the day the banks, thoroughly
frightened. began to call their loans. The
result was n calamity the like of which
Wall street has never before known.
Men of millions, on the wrong side of
the market and unable to get out, were
on their knees during the day begging
for uuarter-for financial help at any
price. The banks were besieged, the
money lenders were oyerrun. and Wall
street saw the greatest panic Of its his
tory. Rich and poor lost half a billion
dollars Prices were knocked down from
10 to 60 points. The stock exchange was
mad. Between II o'clock and noon the
majority Of brokerage houses, If settle
ment had been compelled, would have
failed. Money was loaned at 40 and gu
per cent. Northern Pacific stock sold rs
high as $1,000 cash for a single share.
The Northern Pacific corner was COM
plete. The shorts" were stricken anu
utterly routed, and at noon they sent
word to the giants-who cynically conun-
ned their contest for Northern Pacific
| control-that the stock exchange would
be insolvent unless mercy were shown.
| The Hartman Kuhn-L Loeb Rockefeller
faction on one side, and the Morgan-lllll
syndicate on the other, stopped fighting
| only ut the moment that they found they
might carry themselves down in the
ruin. At the end of the day both sides
claimed control Of the Northern Pacific.
The mighty pile of profits having been
swept away in a twinkling, panic stared
/ the nation in the face. Then the warning
| factions announced that they would not
| demand further delivery from shorts OF
| Northern Pacific stock. This declaration
and millions loaned by the bankers saw
cd the day. The market rallied III the
closing hours, but the days end saw the
greatest market the world ever witness
cd ilattened, weak and almost IN despair,

Conference This Morning,

Yesterday no agreement was reached
between the management of the River
side and the laborers and machine boys
who struck Monday for an advance OF
ten cents day, but the situation was
made more serious and complicated by
the testers, threaders and straighteners
of the tube department going off at
noon, as they had received no answer
to their demands of an advance.
1t was stated last night by the men
that at nine O'Clock this morning there
would be a conference between the
management and committee OF the
men and an agreement would probably
be reached 1t was stated that about
500 men may be affected by the strike.
Last night Manager Wiles stated
that he was not aware of any strike ex-
listing at the plant as he had but return
ed home He knew Of no conference to
be held to-day.

mechanism of his body as he under
stands the machinery of the mill, he
would know that when a man is weak
and RUIZ down, when his activities are
slowed dewn If not altogether stopped,
there Is something wrong with the power
plant Of the body.
The power plant of the body includes
the stomach and its associated organs of
digestion and nutrition. All physical
strength Is derived from food Ggested
and converted into nutrition. Nutrition
is the power which runs the body.
When nutrition fails the body fails. The
chemical changes by which food is con-
vcrted into nutrition take place in the
stomach aad digestive and nutritive
tracts. When the stomach is diseased,
the nutrition is reduced and the body's
power IS reduced in proportion.
A DOCTORS DIcpJM.
: An eminent physician in a lecture to
medical students, said in substance,
cWhen you are called on by a sick per-
con the first examination must be d.
rccted to the stomach" Just as the
mechanic knows the powers off when
the machinery stops, so the physician
when he secs a man weak, fired, and
helpless, knows the power Is off. The
food the man eats is not being converted
into nutrition. When food is digested,
assimilated and converted into nutrition
it must strengthen the body. When the
body is weak, deficient in vitality and
vigor, it must be because it is INSULT
GENTLY nourished, either from lack of
food or because the food eaten is not
digested and converted into nutrition.
Popularity and generally this condition
is described as cweak stomach" or

The board of directors of the Wheel
ing Board of Trade held meeting last
night at which several interesting items
Of business were considered. Under the
amendment recently adopted DR.. J. W..
Darrah, of Martins Ferry, was elected
member of the directors to represent
that city. He had been nominated by
the Martins Ferry board.
The board authorized John Water
house, chairman of the committee on
funds of the coming carnival, to use
$1,000 to meet all necessary expenses
which may be incurred before the mon
ey is raised by popular subscription.
The unexpended balance of the Dewey
day fund, amounting to about $500, will
be turned into the carnival fund, and
there are several items of smaller
amount which will also be devoted to
carnival purposes. 1t is expected that
about IS, 00O will be raised and spent for
the carnival. The money will be paid
out upon orders signed by Paul o. Rey-
mann chairman of Lae executive COM
mittee.
A communication was received from
Governor A. B. White, stating that he
will be in Parkersburg next Sunday and
Monday, wnen he will be pleased to
meet representatives of the Board OF
Trade and listen to any proposition
which may be submitted relative to
holding the next annual State Encamp-
ment of the National Guard in this
city.
Gen. Morris Horkheimer, Of the Gov
ernor's staff, and Assistant Secretary
J. F. Adams were appointe- commit
tee to confer with the Governor with
power to appoint third member. 9th
er members of the Board of Trade who
may be in Parkersburg at the time will
augment the committee.
The Builders Exchange was author
lied to meet in the rooms OF the board
without charge.
1t was represented that the local dele
gates to the annual convention of the
A. A. of l. S. & T. w. would be pleased
to have the association of the Board Of
Trade in bringing the next annual con-
vention to Wheeling. Secretary S. A..
Thompson was authorized to go to Mil
waukee during the convention, which
opens May 21st, and to do all in his
power to capture the next convention.
Secretary Thompson will probably be
in Milwaukee during NE second week
of the convention.
After the directors adjourned last
night Secretary Thompson stated that
he would probably be in position to an
nounce positively within few days
that new industry will be established
in Wheeling. He was not at liberty to
tell the character on the factory or to
give any further information concern
ing it.
