The Ona Indian is deserving of a

trait. He forms the almost solitary
exception among aboriginal tribes in
refusing to touch alcohol in any form.
This policy of total abstinence is rigid

excitement of ceremonial rites. What
ever his faults may be, judged from

contrary, this remarkable lake may be
seen at any time during the year, fully
exposed, being even at its best when
the sun is shining directly upon 1t.
This wonderful body of water is one Of
the safest of the salt lakes and is sit
uated near Obdorsk, Siberia. The lake
is nine miles wide and seventeen long
and within the memory of man was
not entirely rooted over by the salt de-
posit. Originally evaporation played
the most prominent part in coating the
lake over with salt, but at the present
time the salt springs which surround
it are adding fast to the thickness Of
the crust
In the long ago rapid evaporation of
the lakes waters left great salt crys-
tails floating on the surface. In course
of time these caked together. Thus the
waters We're finally entirely covered.
In 1878 the lake found an underground
outlet into the river Obi, which low
cred it's surface about three feet. The
salt crust was so thick, however, that
it retained its old level and now pre-,
sents the curious spectacle of salt
rooted lake. The salt coat increases
six inches in thickness every year. The
many islands with which the lake is
studded are said to act as braces and
to help keep the arched salt crust in

HAVE YOIr A STOMACH2

I asked the question Have you got stomach?' it would be safe on general principles to answer Yes" But, if you are sure of it, that is, if you ever feel any distress after eating, or any pains Of whatever description in the region of the stomach, you have got something more than an ordinary stom- ach; in other words. you have got dis eased stomach? The stomach is a powerful muscle, and the proper rem edy for tired muscle is rest. Don't take stiinuIants. as they only render the muscles and nerves insensible to pain -only to become worse after the effect has worn off. Try Mother Seigels Curative Syrup It is natures tonic, extracted from roots and herbs, and it cures to stay cured. It is wholesome and natural spring tonic and thor ough blood purifier.

THE STOCK MARKET.
An Irregular Drift Over a Fractional
 Range,


 New York May 27.-To-days stock
 market was an irregular drift over a fractional range, for the most part be- low yesterdays closing level. There | were few exceptions among minor | stocks, The recent demand for Wiscon- sin Central stocks continued accom- panied by rumors of buying for control. There was an upward movement in Sugar when the report reached Wall 1 street of conference of senators to at tempt an agreement upon Cuban reclp- rocty But the stock dropped back when the conference adjourned without l action. A rise of nearly ? points in l American Locomotive seemed to be a supplement to that of yesterday in the car stocks Pressed Steel Car reacted sharply over points on the emphatic denial of yesterdays rumors of a mer- ger with the American Car company. l Canadian Pacific continued by far the most active stock in the list. It drop
 ped sharply 2A in the first few minutes
 of trading, but was rallied by arbitrage
 buying from Canadian centers where the absorption of the stock continued
 at figures above the New York level.
 The reaction was considered result
 of the speculation which has followed
 the rise, but the conviction remains in Wall street that important develop
 ments are pending in the property The
 absence of developments in the coal
 strike situation did not prevent the re-
 pressive influence exercised by the
 strike, which is emphasized by the in-
 creasing scarcity of coal and the grow
 ing effect on other industries, The gov- ernment'S weekly bulletin may have
 had some unfavorable effect on account of the delay to seeding of the corn crop
 reported. A batch of favorable rail-
 road earnings, including the net show ing for April of a number of important systems and good increases In gross earnings for the third week in May of others was without apparent.
 The money market has grown so easy at or below per cent. for call loans as to have lost importance as a factor.
 Opinion is by no means agreed in Wall street as to the effect upon this market of a declaration of peace in South Af- rica. The small effect produced here in contrast with the speculative activity abroad by the current rumors of peace awakened conjecture here Of course there is the possibility of miscarriage of the negotiation. But there is also a possibility that the activity in specu- lation and investment aroused by the end of the South African war will be diverted into foreign securities. shaken down as they have been by long per iod of liquidation following industrial depression. An awakening of specu
 lative and industrial activity abroad would be likely to lead to the withdraw al of large amounts of foreign capital now placed in New York in bankers loans. The effect could hardly be salu tary upon American financial affairs,
 The bond market was dull and irreg- ular Total sales par value s1,790000.
 United States bonds were all un- changed on the last call.

Meeting of Lumber Dealers Probably
 Will be Postponed.
 Hartford, May 27.A dispatch from New Haven says that Secretary Louis A. Mansfield, of the State Lumber Deal CTS association, said to-day that the meeting of the association scheduled for tomorrow in Hartford would probably be postponed because he thought it un- likely that committee of five appoint ed at meeting last Friday would be ready to report at that time. At the last meeting the association voted, MT. Mansfield said, that no member should send any lumber into Hartford during the continuance of the present trouble between the contractors and the car penters, and so far as he knew the vote had been adhered to.
 The committee of five was appointed to further investigate the situation in Hartford and, if possible, arrive at some plan of settlement of the trou- bic.
