YESTERDAYS STOCK MARKET,
A sharp Set nnea In Prices.

sharp Set Bnck In Ffteea. <,
 New York. Aug. 19.-The reactionary sorces which developed in yesterdays late stock market became preponderant in to-day's market and caused a sharp backset in prices. It was evident that the underlying cause of the reaction was that the rebound had been too fast and had gone too far. The kind of sup port and protection for prices which have been in evidence since the trend definitely turned upwards was not to be seen to-day and the fall in prices was uncontested. The speculative public at large was left to conjecture wheth- CT the powerful capitalists, whose leadership they had supposed they were following had sold out their stocks and retired from the market or whether they had become dissatisfied with the rapidity of the advance and the charac- ter of their following and had deter mined to countenance reaction for the purpose of shaking off an undesir- able following of weak traders. Lon don was seller of stocks on a large scale. evidently in the nature of a profit-taking. That there were large additions to the short interest as con sequence of the short selling Is fair conjecture. As for the news develop ,,,a fe 10 ta tvG Q, ffy, 'portant place must be given to the question raised whether the rejection of the Panama canal treaty by the Co., lumbian senate is to be regarded as final. Much attention was also devoted to a circumstantial report that the United States congressional leaders, who are looked to to frame financial legislation have been unable to agree and that any currency reform measure at the coming extra session or regular session of congress is improbable, The selling was much concentrated. sim gle commission house disposing of manymany thousand shares during the day. The personality of the firm and it's past employment by one of the great financial groups caused considerable significance to be attached to this sell- ing. The further reduction in prices Of southern pig iron had it's greatest effect on Tennessee Coal. but the iron and steel stocks all shared in the days weakness. The concentrated selling re- ferred to largely converged on Amalga- mated Copper. and Rock Island was leader in the reaction. The low tenn oeratures in the corn belt and the ne- cessity of early warm weather to in- sure the crop from frost were consid- erably dwelt upon. There was con- siderable covering movement at the be- binning of the last hour. but the bears made fresh onslaught and forced a weak closing at the lowest of the day. Declines in the active list ran from 1 to points. Some early strength in the bond market gave way to heavi- ness in sympathy with stocks Total sales par value $1,952,O00. #/ 70
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining Of the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbIiug sound or
imperfect hearing, and when il is en-
tirelv closed. Deafness is the result, and
unless the contamination can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition. hearing will be destroyed forev-
err; nine cases out Of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrhI
that cannot be cured by Hall 5 Catarrh

THE political situation in Ohio has
been quite interesting the past week
because Of It's bearing on national at
fairs. Senator Foraker, who would
like to have Senator Hannas place as
party leader, announced his purpose
to have the Republican convention
which meets next week endorse Presi-
dent Roosevelt's candidacy tor the
presidential nomination. Mr.. Hanna
objected very strongly to this on the
ground that it was unnecessary and
untimely. The two Senators having
thus taken different positions, there
was every prospect that a pretty fight
would be the result. On Tuesday,
however, President Roosevelt tele-
graphed Mr.. Hanna, asking his sup
port and endorsement, and the latter
has withdrawn his open opposition ana
will permit a resolution endorsing the
Presidents candidacy TO be passed by
the Ohio Republicans next week.
The matter seems peaceably settled,
but the incident has not increased the
love which Hanna and Foraker have
for each other.

The tornado season was opened up
in Nebraska last Sunday, when two Of
these fierce storms swept over three
counties, carrying death and devasta-
tion with them. Fifteen persons were
killed, scores injured and vast damage
done to property.
The people of our sheltered valley
who are sometimes inclined to grum-
bic at a drought or prolonged spell of
rain ought to be thankful that they
do not have the troubles of their west
ern brethren. The storms there not
only destroy crops, but carry off the
buildings and kill the owners. The
Shenandoah Valley is pretty good
country to live in.

A CONSIDERABLE protest is being
made in New York against the tariff
on paintings ands sculpture. The
wealthy and cultivated persons who
buy such treasures abroad say that
they caunot bring them here on sc-
count of the excessive tariff that the
government puts upon them. They
assert that this tariff impsdes art and
the acquisition Of artistic treasures.
This lie no doubt true, but when
you come to think Of it the tariff i'm
pedes great many other things and
prevents the acquisition of savings for
rainy days by the plain people be-
cause Of the high prices they are forced
to pay for the necessities of life.

THE Rev. Newell Dwight Hills,
pastor of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn,
N. Y. last Sunday denounced the
cham bermaid who refused to make
Booker Washington's bed, aud declared
that should the negro educator ever
accept entertainment at DR.. Hills
house he would count it favor to
make his bed for him. To newspa-
per man DR.. Hills made this state
ment:
Eyes, said exactly that, and meant
it. | have asked Mr.. Washington to
speak in my church soon, and, if he does
not wish to go to hotel or cannot find
one and will accept entertainment from
me, and any one in my home shrinkS
from making up bed for the educator,
| will gladly make ii up myself and
count it an honor TO do so.
If DR.. Hills Is anxious for such hon
ors as these he ought to apply for the
job of serving Booker as valet. We
think he could fill it splendIdly.
