REMARKABLE CURE OF Group.
A Little Boys Life Saved.

I have few words to say regard
ing Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
1t saved my little boys life and ]
feel that I cannot praise 1t enough
I bought bottle of 1t from A. E.
Street, OF Goodwin, S. D., and when
1 got home with 1t the poor hoy
could hardly breathe. I gave the
medicine as directed every ten
minutes until he threw up" snd
then I thought sure he was going
to choke to death. We had to pull
the phlegm out of his mouth In
great long strings. I am positive
that If I had not got that bottle of
cough medicine, my boy would not
be on earth today.-Joel Demont,
Inwood, Iowa. For sale by c. w.

His Coffin is too Small.

Alfred Redmon, of Mason county,
has Just announced to his neigh
bors that for forty years he has had
his coffin ready In anticipation Of
death. He built 1t himself In an
improvIsed carpenter shop. The
receptacle is of poplar and is lined
with stars and stripes,as the builder
Is veteran of the civil war. Lately
it has dawned upon Mr.. Redmon
that he has grown too large tor the
coffin and has been thinking seri'
ously of making another but fear:
his strength will not hold out.

The Oil Mems Association of In
diana will ask the Legislature for
an appropriation of $4,000 to be
expended In making deep tests In
various parts of the Indiana oil
field. The Idea Is to discover a
new supply of oil, below the Tren-
ton rock, which Is gradually be-
coming exhausted. There Is still a
large area of INFESTED territory,
however, which Is bound to pro
duce large amount of oil when 1t
once begins to be developed.

Up. Morgan & Co: have taken sides

vent an extension Of the Gould lines into
the eastern territory and the fight now
has become bitter between the Gould
system ron one side and the Pennsyl-
vania and Morgan's Erie line on the

alliances through the Erie for the pur-
pose OF deiiscting business from the

OF railroads which completes with

dalton with Erie to New York, the
Frisco system would be in a position to
outbid the Missouri Pacific system for

ADVANCE. to Per Cent, But Is
Easily Obtained.

NEW YORK, January 13.-The stock
market made further reaction to-day.
md was heavy or weak during most OF
the session, but made some recovery dur
ing the last hour. and closed Irregular.
The heaviness of the market had no bet
Ter explanation than yesterday. Money
advanced from 1-2 per cent. but no diff
Nculty was experienced In getting 1t,
md little attention seemed to be paid to
the money situation by the operators in
stocks. This was not true, however, of
.he foreign exchange market. and the
anxiety felt in regard to that develop
ment was due, OF course, to the proba BILE
effect on money London's operations in
stocks here were not on large scale.
and aid not influence exchange The eff
feet IN Berlin yesterday Of the fore
shadowing Of q German loan was dupli-
Gated In London. to-day by the expecta-3
lion OF an early announcement of a
Fransvaal loan. These government ope-
ratons are probably the true explanation
OF the, hardening of the foreign money
rates. and 1t is believed that our obliga-
ton to foreign money centres are still
SUFFICIENT to permit them to draw gold
from us In case of need.
THE FINAL RECOVERY.
Renewed strength in Erie and st Paul.
and vigorous support of Reading, seemed
to be designed to reassure speculative
sentiment, but when it was perceived
that advantage was being taken Of this
sustaining Influence to effect large selling
of Rock Island. the selling was renewed
throughout the list, and there was no
important recovery until the last hour.
when Manhattan was lifted two points
over last night, and Erie was run up
again to the top level of the morning.
ContIIbutory causes to the heaviness
were the steps taken in Congress to in-
Scstfgate the coal supply. fears OF dam
age to earnings Of railroads by snow
biockades. and broad inlimation that no
immediate dividends are TO be expected
on Colorado Fuel. Practically all leading
stocks were point or more below last
night at one time. and not ell OF them
fully recovered on the late rally.
