NEW YORK STOCK rOssIP-Report-
ed by II. Holbert & Son. There is no
evidence that the public has as vet re-
turned to the market. or that the big
operators are ready to take fresh in
terest in the market. Business is still
confined to a local area. and II is not
to be expected that it will broaden ma
terially for some little time to come. Our
own opinion is that after the present
rally has spent its strength there will
be falling off in prices We believe the
present to be distinctly a traders mar
ket, and one which can only be awaited
of for quick turns and within very mar
row dimensions.

An American physician, DIR. Frank s.

pigeons, which he uses with marked sue

The doctor is in practice at the little
town of McCool Junction, in Nebraska
and many of his patients reside ten,

them daily, yet it is often desirable for
him to know the pulse and temperature of
certain patients once a day. This difficult

pigeons. When the doctor visits ranch

Tribute to n Negro.

On the 6th day OF August, A. d. 1901
there passed from our midst an aged col

Texas; and so upright was his walk
through life that we deem it but right

The old man who has passed over the
