THE STOCK MARKET.
Prices Fall at Closing After a Day of
 Animation.

Animation.
 New. York, Aug. 26.-The volume of dealings in stocks rose we'll over a mil lion shares to-day. The market showed great animation at different times dur ing the day and gave an impression of strength owing to the enormous buying on an upward range of few stocks. But the speculative prof1t-taking under cover of this strength was persistent and widespread, so that the market had become so honeycombed by the closing out of holdings by powerful speculative interests that it showed decided crum- bling tendency in the closing hour Prices fell back rather violently to be- low last night and in only one or two instances was any appreciabIe net gain left.
 There was no reason to accompany the relapse any more than there was to account for the previous notable ad- vances. There was no more solicitude over the money market o-day than has been expressed by warning cautions for some time past, and especially since the market took on the present proper tions of the speculation. It is highly probable. nevertheless, that the large operators in stocks are alive to the pos abilities of money difficulties and are desirious of making their successful turn before actual stringency sets in. As a matter of fact, there were no fur ther transfers of currency to-day to the interior through the sub-treasury, and loan bills were quite freely negoti- ated in the foreign exchange market. But discussion is already heard of next Saturdays bank statement, and ways and means for relief of the money mar

CHANGE OF CLIMATE
NOT NECESSARY IN ORDER TO CURE
CATARRH

The popular idea that the only cure for chronic
catarrh Is a change Of climate is a mistake, be-
cause catarrh is found in all climates In all sec
tons OF the country; and even IL a change Of cl-
mate should benefit for time, the catarrh will
certainly return.
Catarrh may be readily cured In any climate
but the only way to do IT is to destroy or remove
from the system the catarrhal germs which cause
all the mischief
The treatment by inhalers sprays powders and
washes has been proven almost useless in making
a permanent cure, they do not reach the seat
Of disease, which is in the blood and can be reach
ed only by internal remedy which acts through
the stomach upon the blood and system generally.
A new discovery which is meeting with remark

and bronchial tubes and also catarrh Of the stom-
ach is sold by druggists under the name, Of Stu
arts C8tarrh Tablets.
These tablets, which pleasant and harmless
to take, owe their efficiency to the active medicinal
principles Of Blood Root. Red Gum and a spe
cfhc called Guafacol, which together with valuable
antiseptics combined IN convenient palatable
tablet form, and as valuable for children as for
adults:

Kidney diseases, including Brieht,s. II
gaining an alarming foothold upon
Americans, and the percentage of deaths
all over the country In 1902 shows a big
increase. The slightest tendency to
weakness of the kidneys, indicated by
lameness, soreness, pains, bearing-down

cloudy, colored, having a sediment or
otherwise unnatural appearance of the
urine, is sufficient proof that something
is wrong. If you take "Blood Wine"
for your kidneys it will astonish you
with its quick and thorough action. It
has q specific action on the kidneys
simultaneously with its effect upon the

No one," SAID the physician. who

unless he is in a position that gives
him an inside view. For a number OF
years ! have been connected with such
a company in the capacity Of examin-

that a large percentage Of claims
against the company that l am with
contain some element Of fraud. A

TenderloIn Pedestrian.
Tehderloin pedestrians were highly
entertained late last evening by the
| spectacle of a diminutiye donkey, be-
stridden by a large man, standing in
the shadow of the Greeley statue, while
Policeman Gallagher OF the Broadway
squad was vainly trying to get them
to move along. The donkey is known
through the region as BILLY the
Boozcr." He belongs to James Carroll
OF 156 West Twenty-Ninth street, while
his rider was James Tifer of the same
address, better known in nearby re-
sorts as The Senator"
The little animal had his ears fiat.
and was braying at a pitch that
drowned the roar of Broadway in his
immediate vicinity. The pleasure of
the crowd rose to ecstacy when the
policeman passed behind and the tiny
hoofs flew out, nearly kicking him in
the head. Tifer admitted that both he
and the donkey had had many drinks.
and the policeman threatened to lock
them both up on a charge of being
drunk and ~disorderly. when the man
sent for a pail Of beer. The donkey
swallowed it greedily. the ears resumed
a pleasantly erect position, and he
trotted amiably homeward.
Billy's latest notorious exploit was

stickney on the smelter.

A special from Cheyenne to the Den.
yer Republican Of yesterday says:
d. N. Stickney Of Laramie Is III the
city and explains that the smelter to be
built at Laramie has nothing to do with
the one to be built at the New Rambler
mine. and that the latter will not com
pete with the former.
The smelter at the New Rambler will
concentrate and treat low grade ore
that will not stand the expense Of the
long wagon haul from the mine to Lara.
ME. while the smelter at Laramie will
treat the high grade ore from the New
Rambler and other mines in the vicin-
ity of Laramie.
The people Of Laramie are highly en-.
Unused over the prospects for growth
and prosperity. With a smelter in
town, roll-mills and plaster works In
full operation they look for the city to
experience a rapid growth In popula-
ton and wealth.
