Notwithstanding Il great strike, that the
profits OF tbs great company had Deen
enormous, attracted more attention than
anything else IN sio-x circles yesterday.

lie in the stock market, this statement
and declaration OF the regular dividend
of L 81 per cent. On p1G.erred and l per
cent on common would have given con-
siderable rise to the general list of Sc
curities but it appears that the bears
have the stock market cowed at the
present time.
Favorable reports come and so, but
bearish sentiment seems to go on for
ever.
MARKET RECEDED.
Prices advanced yesterday morning
about one point higher than at the clos
ing of Tuesday night. but receded during
the day to a lower level. Excuse hun
tiers, who were prolific. attributed the
declines to liquidation, the break in SUI
gar values and big slump in Brooklyn

car foundry likewise suffered declines.
The railroad list was neglected. Stock
brokers advise sales on all sharp rail-

George Schaub, well known German citizen of Lebanon, Ohio, is a constant reader of the Dayton volkzeitung. He knows that his paper aims to advertise only the best in its columns, and when he saw Chamberlain's Pain Balm ad- vertised therein for lame back, he did not hesitate in buying a bottle of it for his wife, who for eight weeks had suf- fered the most terrible pains in her back and could get no relief. He eays: After using the Pain Balm for a few days my wife said to me feel as though born anew and before using the entire contents of the bottle the un- bearahle pains had entirely vanished and she could again take up her house hold duties" He is very thankful and hopes that all suffering likewise will hear of her wonderful recovery.

Merit In Farm Separators.

The increased value Of skimmilk
direct from the separator when fed to
pigs or calves will in a very short time
make large payment on the machine.
Then, too, the very best butter is made
from cream direct from the separator.
This was shown at the recent creamery
butter makers show at st. Paul, where
the first prize butter, scoring 971A
points, was made at creamery
where Is per cent of the cream
came from the farm separator. The
separator saves work in the house
and is much easier to clean than a lot
Of sour cans or pans. 1t requires but
little room and does away with han
ding a lot of ice to cool the milk. In
July and August, when it is almost i'm
possible to get good cream or make
good butter by gravity methods, the
separator works as usual, and by
proper handling Of the cream as good
butter can be made as during cooler
weather.
