Twice-a-week plain dealer. (Cresco, Howard County, Iowa) 1895-1913, 1902-11-14

The market opened strong and at
slight advance in spite of large
offerings of stock by Kent brokers
and from Street & Rogers-acting
for their unknown principals-the
market held it's own the first half
hour. 1t was at this time that
vague and portentious rumors were
circulated on the floor, and whis-
Pered over telephones. These ru-
inors We're greeted with general in-
credulity, but the effect on the mar
ket was apparent from the time the
first suspicion was breathed. London,
Chicago and other speculative centers
continued buying and selling, uncon-
scious of the shadow which was now
darkening the street.
The storm broke at II o'clock
The yellow slips distributed by
news agency contained the following
paragraph in double-leaded type:
HOS a.. m. Andrus Carmody, Pal
mer j. Morton, r. j. Kent and Simon
Pence cannot be found. They were
last seen in Mr.. Morton's offices about
four o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Their relatives know nothing of
their whereabouts. The police and
detective force have been notified"
A message of similar purport was
recorded on the tape.
Any description of the scenes
which followed on the floor of the
Stock Exchange would be deemed
exaggeration by those who never
have seen a speculative panic sweep
all before it. The tempest was
loosed. Before it's fury the sturdy
financial oaks bent in the blast. The
puny speculative saplings were up
rooted and borne away on the wings
OF the cyclone. Staid old men who
had not been seen on the floor of the
exchange for months, rushed hatless
through the streets and hurled them
selves into the crazy mob.
The 80 acres of the financial dis
trict was Bedlam. Men tore pa
pers from the hands of newsboys
and rushed away Without paying
for them. The widest rumors, if
OF evil purport, became certainties.

Il great bank had closed it's doors.
There was no fragment of truth
in the statement, but it was accept
ed as an unquestioned fact. 1t was
charged that the great enterprises in
which Carmody, Pence and Morton
were concerned We're insolvent, and
that these men were in secret con-
ference, endeayoring to arrange
compromise with creditors. Mr..
Kent was regarded as the Spectator
who had been intrusted with this
news, and commissioned to use it to
recoup some of the losses.
The evening papers were flooding
the city with extras. The news was
SO stupendous us to confound the
genius Of the designers of headlines.
There was neither space nor type
sufficient to depict their emotions.
But the imagination of the report
ers was equal to the crisis. In be-
wildering succession the millionaires
were kidnapped, lured away and muir
dered by anarchists; had committed
suicide, or reposed safely in the
bosom of their families.

SHOTGUN
Prescriptions

Wesuppose we are not revealing
any trade secrets when we say
that many medicines are made up
on the principle of the so-called
shotgun prescriptions which
were formerly somewhat in vogue.
The idea of the shotgun pre-
scriptions was to put into a medi-
cine a large number of different
drugs, each useful for different
purposes, in the hope that some
of them might hit the case.
The most successful physicians
we know use more direct method.
The medicine we sell over our own
name and guarantee does the same.
This medicine is called Vinol. 1t
is the best thing we know for rum
down condition, for nerve troubles,
for lung troubles, for weak women,
pale children, and old people in
fact, it is a safe: pleasant, reliable
tonic and reconstruction.
1t is not a scattering "shot-gun
prescription" but it goes straight
to the mark, and has cured so
many people right here in town,
that it gives us confidence to
sell it on an absolute guarantee,
as follows: If you use a bottle and
it does not help you, we'll give
you your money back without
word of complaint.
We could not afford to guarantee
it so boldly if we had not seen it
succeed in ninety-eight out of every
one hundred cases.
