NV York, April 1.-THE. stock
market reverted to a more normal
condition yesterday, after Tuesday s
extraordinary movement in Southern

stock, although scarcely more than
Gre quarter of those Of Tuesday, still
overshadowed the market and were
on a scale beyond precedent, with d
very few exec ptions. Heavy profit
taking was in evidence all day long,
which kept the price almost constant
IL below Tuesday nights level. The
stocks net loss was q. There was
some selling induced by the emphatic
disclaimers on the part of Southern
Railway interests of any participa-
ton in the Louisville and Nashville

But the distinction drawn between j.
p. Morgan & Co., as bankers, and the
same firm as the controlling influence
in Southern Railway seemed some
what strained. The extensive power
over the affairs Of the Louisville and

sufficient security for its operations

NEEDED BADLY--A DEPOT

Among the several other things
rb,ch Dawson needs very much at the
,resant time are two new depots, and
.bere ia no reason imaginable why the
r,i,road companies should not erect
them here at once, or better still, a

two limitations or parodies standing
alongside the railroad tracks, but
they are very poor limitations
Neither of the four tiny waiting rooms
in the two depots is capable OF ac-
communicating a handful OF persons
comfortably, and from distance ooth

suggested. Our real peril lies in local
conditions, that vary in several states
and that threaten the loss OF an m
definite number of congressional
districts that are nominally repuoll-
can.
"For example, in our own state we
have, under the new apportionment,
five congressional districts. Every
one of them should be republican. But
il is possible to lose three of them be-
cause of the coal strike. We have
considerable republican colored vote.
Now, the negro laborer in the mines
is timid. When he is threatened
with bodily harm he will move into
Ohio. where he can find work without
danger of physical assault.
"That has happened already in con-
siderable numbers. That means loss
of so many votes to the republicans.
If the strike could be settled promptly
these colored exiles would return to
their homes in West Virvinia, with
out having been absent long enough to
lose their votes. There are other To-
cal troubles in Pennsylvania, in Wis
consin, in Michigan and elsewhere.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portions OF the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition Of the mucuous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infamed
you have rambling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when il is entirely closed. deafness is
ne result. and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored TO its normal
condition hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out Of ten are caused by Catarrh. which is
nothing but an infamed condition Of the mu'
cuous surfaces.
