Read IL in His Newspaper.

George Schwab, a well known Ger
man citizen of Lebanon, o., is a con-
stant reader of the Dayton Volks-
zeitung. He knows that this paper
aims to advertise only the best in its
columns. and when he saw Chamber
lain's Pain Balm advertised therein
for lame back, he did not hesitate in
buying a bottle of it for his wife, who
for eight weeks had suffered with the
most terrible pains in her back, and
could get no relief. He says: After
using the Pain Balm for a few days
my wife said to me, L feel as though
bora anew and before using the en-
tire contents of the bottle the unbear
able 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

SOMETHING FOR NOTHING"
and
PERPETUAL MOTION"

Are two things that have been upper
most in the minds of men from the
birth of science and merchandising
to the present day. Ancient Rome
was on the lookout for Something
for nothing" and the best efforts OF
the wisest men of Greece were given
to the study of Perpetual motion
We have seen an account where
some Yankee in Massachusetts has
discovered the Perpetual motion
and how is this for Something for

Murphy & Co.,. Cotton Letter.

New York, February 17.-Early indica- tions were that receipts of cotton at the ports would reach 27,000 vs. 26,000 last year but this did not stand in the way of fur ther progress in advancing the market. which showed 3 to 2 points advance on southern and Wall street buying to a moderate extent. Apparently the higher trend of market is far from the culminat- ing point, but at the same time profit taking on all moderate advances is the present policy in most conservative quar- ters The same people believe in buying on all breaks, and there is feeling that the market will show a narrow swing for awhile, and is not likely to move up by leaps and bounds. Something of shock was caused by the forecast for Houston receipts tomorrow, indicating 75 per cent more than last year, but little impression was made on the market. Good buying orders are turning up from all directions, although May was liquidated to consid- erable extent.

But the important fact is that there are men who were once in danger from Uweak" lungs who have grown strong again, married and brought up healthy families.
 HOW IT HAPPENED.
 There is no chance about such cures If only few persons had been benefited, 1t might be said that they had exagger- ated their danger or had only been suf- fering from some common ailment. But when the cured are numbered by thou sands; when the doetor's diagnosis was consumption when every symptom bore out that diagnosis = weakness, emacia- tion bleeding of the lungs-and these sufferers were perfectly and permanently cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, it must be concluded that these cures are not of chance, but due to the healing power of a great remedy, for coughs, weak lungs, bron- chitis, and like diseases, which if neg lected or unskllltully treated, ind fatal termination in consumption.

POOR ATTENDANCE AT STOCK EXCHANGE Severe Snow Storm Made the Brokers Stay at Home UNOERTONE ALMOST FIRM It Was Dull and Uninterestlng Market of No Fixed Tendency-Prlces
 Did Not Go Below satur-
 days Close.

New York, February 17.-Today's severe mowstorm lessened the attendance at the Stock Exchange and made the stay short pf those brokers who did attend The con sequence was a dull and uninteresting market of no fixed tendency. Only lew stocks showed dealings of any impor- tance, and the price movement In these was inclined to vary. A number Of usu- ally inactive stocks made some progress upwards The undertone was firm, and while prices did not hold always at the best, the level of prices did not get below last Saturday night. There was an active speculation in Metropolitan Street Rail- way, but the opinion of the new plan re- mained about as unfixed as since It's pro- mitigation. Sugar advanced on account of the rise in the price of refined sugar and the continued hope that the duty on Cuban sugars would be remitted by Con- gress The urgent buying of raw copper in London and the sharp advance in the price resulted in buying of Amalgamated Copper here. There was some movement in the stocks of different steel companies, apparently in connection with the annual meeting of the United States Steel Cor poration, but the movement of the United States Steel stocks themselves was mar row, and dealings were not on very large scale considering the enormous volume of the capital. The railroad list outside of the minor stocks was sluggish and neglected.
 The continued paucity of the grain movement and the obstruction to traffic by storms foreshadows a repetition Of the decreases of flrst-week gross earn ings for the second week in February. Although confidence has been professed in Wall street that the Supreme Court will hand down decision Monday favor able to the Northern Securities Company, as the time approaches for the court to convene there is a disposition to hold off speculative operations until the case Is decided. There seems to be less ap- prehension felt among brokers regarding the threatened collection of the tax upon collateral on call loans. The market showed some degree of firmness although not quotably changed. The large opera tions by individual banks disclosed by the bank statement gave fresh corrobora- ticn to the supposition that larse syndi- cate transactions are in preparation The flow ct money from the West is showing a decline, but the outflow by exports Of gold has been checked owing to the re- plenishment of the Bank of England sup piles and the actual plethora of funds In Germany. The government surplus Is also running light this month. The late rise in sugar to points over Saturday and the recovery to the top in Amalga- mated Copper sustained the market, which was otherwise inclined to yield in sue cessive spots. The closing was irregular.
 Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value. s, 470 O0O United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call.

New York, February H.-The coffee market opened steady with prices un- changed to points lower and was dull all day without five points further va rfation. The close was quiet with prices net unchanged to 5 points lower. Total sales were 10000 bags. The foreign mar ket news reflected heavy undertone and selling for profits. Receipts in Brazil were burdensome again and spot demand in New York was tame. Sentiment as a general thing favored some decline in prices while investment orders from any quarter were very scarce.

cotton Letter.

Gilbert & Clay's Letter to H. D. Goth ran x Co.
 New Orleans, February 17.-There was no material change in the cotton situa- ton today. Liverpools advance of 3-64d In deliveries and 1-32d in spots proved sufficient to sustain ruling prices on this side, after which the market settled down to a comparatively quiet tone, of ferings for both accounts being slightly in excess of the demand on account of continued liberal receipts which not only induced free realizing on purchases, but encouraged fresh engagements on the side.
 The same steady undertone was in evil dence, however, as each points recession was freely resisted, closing quotations are to points lower than Saturday,
 In the weekly trade report of Manches- ter the outlook presented was not en- tirely satisfactory. Merchants are said to be backward about paying advances owing to the fact that Eastern markets have secured supplies for months ahead and a slackening demand for goods is ex- pected in consequence. On the continent. however, business seems to have picked up considerably, especially in Germany, where pessimsm has completely disap- peared and shares of textile industries are reported to be strong.
 Thus between these two reports there Is nothing positively discouraging as con- cerns foreign trade. while the condition of business in the United States Is decid edly favorable. It appears accordingly that continuance of liberal receipts Is actually necessary to prevent an extend- ed rise in prices.

 The future market, in sympathy with the improvement on the other side, opened to 3 points up. There was only a moderate amount of trading, although there was considerable realizing after the call. The estimate of receipts at Hous- ton for tomorrow was decidedly large, which had the effect of weakening bullish sentiment to some extent Under this ad- verse influence the market eased off to 8 points under the opening level and closed with net loss of to points.
