A SURPRISED PHYSICIAN.
A Dying Patient Receivers Through the
Interposition Of Humble German.
Chicago, Nov. Is.

Chicago, Nov. Is.
Some weeks ago DR.. c., very
reputable and widely known physician
tend very complicated case of Rheu-
matism. Upon. arriving at the house
he found q man about forty years of
age, lying in Frustrated and serious
condition, with his whole frame danger
ously affected with the painful dis.
ease. He prescribed for the patient,
but the man continued to grow worse,
and on Sunday evening he was found to
be in a very alarming condition. The
knees and elbows and larger joints
were greatly infamed, and could not be
moved. 1t was only with extreme
difficulty that the patient could be
turned in bed, with the aid of three or
four persons. The weight of the
clothing was so painful that means had
to be adopted to keep it from the pa.
tents body.
The doctor saw that his assistance
would be Of no avail and left the house,
the members of the family following
him to the door, weeping. Almost inn
mediately the grief stricken ones were
addressed by humble German. He
had heard of the despair of the family
and now asked them to try his remedy,
and accordingly brought forth bottle
of st. Jacobs Oil. The poor wife ap.
piled this remedy. The first applica-
ton eased the patient very much; after
few hours they used it again, and +,
wonder OF wonders, the pain vanished
entirely! Every subsequent applica-
ton improved the patient, and in two
days he was we'll and out. When the
doctor called few days after he was
indeed surprised.

Now, these widows are being takel

And also the land agents, cattlemen

in Nebraska where entries may be
made. While every one of these entries
are not illegal, yet the vast majority
of them are. The frauds have been il
operation for eighteen months, and it Is
said that during the first fifteen days
Of November alone fully 500 fraudu-
lent entries Were made in this state.
The modus operandi is the same IL
all cases. After the widow Of a Union
soldier is found, she is approached with
an offer from a land syndicate" to &c
to Nebraska, make an entry at a land
office, sign several papers, receive SIS
and all expenses, and return to her
home. At the end Of five years she
is to receive another SIS and to deed

STOCKS AT EBB TIDE.
Little Chance That Boom Prices of 1902
Will AGAIN Be Realized.

Will again Be Realized.
New York, Nov. 24.-Henry Clews, in
his financial review, says:
The boom prices of 1902 are now a
matter of history, and there is but little
prospect OF their early return, in spite
of the recent decline of 5000 points.
Two very important factors, the money
and labor situation, are clearly against
the stock market just now. Another
consideration is the change of specula-
tive sentiment from that of Incorporate
optimism to that of growing conserva-
tism. Still another influence is that
the forces which led nearly all recent
bull movements have either been badly
crippled or lost confidence in their
ability to keep prices at ky-scraping
levels. 1t is true that general business
continues active; that consumption of
merchandise is heavy and stimulated
by advances in wages; that traffic is
unprecedentedly large: that the crops
have been satisfactory and that exports
are increasing: but these facts do not
the suggestive firmness
in the money market and the appre
tensions regarding the labor situation.
AS a result the bull side possesses less
of its former courage. The present
sharp recovery is, of course. a natural
reaction following heavy liquidation.
which has undoubtedly brought new
and stronger buyers to take the place
of enfeebled holders of stocks who
were the unwilling recent sellers.

AFTER SOLDIERS WIDOWS.
They May Be Indicted in Nebraska
for Defrauding Government.

Omaha, Neb., Nov 24.--It is expected
that hundreds of soldiers widows will
be indicted for perjury the coming
week in connection with the wholesale
stealing Of government lands by cattle
men. 1t is the old story of the cattle
baron of the west and his efforts to
keep out the small cattle raiser and the
settler who comes west with the pur-
pose of demonstrating" farm for
himself.
A new tack has been taken by these
cattle kings. Instead of the usual way
OF running long line of wire fences
across the government domain, they
have hit upon the plan of inducing the
widows of Union soldiers to take uI
homesteads and sell their claims to the
cattle raisers. 1t sounded all right, but
when it is taken into consideration
that in order to make a filing of pub
lice lands it becomes necessary to make
cath that such lands are for the ex-
elusive use OF the applicant. it then
became necessary for the applicant to
commit perjury to make the filing.
Soldiers widows were selected to
take up the claims because of the

STANDS BY CENSUS FIGURES.
Statistieian for Agriculture Dispute:
Claim Made by Beard of Trade.

Claim Made by Beard OF trade.
washington, D. c., Nov. al. e.
Powers, chief statistician for agrlcul-
ture in the census bureau, authorizes a
statement concerning the report OF the
committee Of the national board OF
trade. alleging that the census figures
of farm acreage are grossly exagger-
ated. He says:
.SThe most important specifications
under that charge, briefly summarized,
consist of one general and seven spe-
cific items, as follows: The census fg-
ures show 101 counties with farm lanes
reported equal to or in excess OF sur
yeyed lands surface of such counties.
For Ohio 10 per cent of the number or
counties are shown to represent l0o per
cent or more of the entire surface IN
farm lands; in Iowa, II per cent; Kan
sas. ~ per cent; Kentucky, 8 per cent;
Missouri, 9 per cent; Tennessee, E per
cent; Indiana. 6 per cent, etc.
with reference to the specific state
nents quoted above concerning the sew
en- states named only two of the quoted
statements can be supstantiated as
they stand in the report. Further the
committee, in making it's report, did not
possess statistics of surveyed lands
for single state. These assertions can
be easily established, provided the COM
mittee will give to the public the names
and aree If surveyed land of all the
counties referred to by it.
1.-The statements of the committee
with reference to the excess acreage in
these seven states are more in excess OF
the facts than they allege the farm
acreage in such states to be in excess
of the true farm area. Further, the So
called excess acreage actually reported
by the census is in harmony with the
facts. as a cursory examination OF the
same will demonstrate.
