MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, Jan. 2S.-Today's stock mar
ket flattened out entirely and by midday
there was little or no active power left in
it. An attempt to put up prices. this
morning, met with active selling in Penn
sYlvania, which cost that stock point
and was unexplained by any news. Anal
Samated Copper shares made some show
of strength on a rather vague superstition
that conditions in the trade were adjusted
upon a basis that would prove profitable
for the time, but did not long maintain
their new position. The declaration of
an extra dividend on Pressed Steel Car did
not result in any animated demand for
the stock. General Electric made a smart
advance in the late trading due presum-
ably to reports of a deal with q rival
company. st. Louis and San Francisco
common recovered part of it's loss of the
early afternoon but elsewhere the list
was devoid of interest. The days oper-
ations were the smallest thus far this
year, and the closing, was dull and steady.

that were scheduled for that time The
friendly rivalry which has existed be-

the fast class and the green horses. Mar

heat the excitement in both races waXed

interesting and helpful. In the after

time. The attendance especially in
the evening, was unusually large.

THEORIES ABOUT CATARRH.
Peculiar Ideas Regarding a Common
Disease.

Mark TWain's cure for q cold in the
head was simple, but he claims very
| effective in his own case; his plan was
| to eat nothing whatever for twenty
four hours or presumably until the
| trouble had disappeared.
Although not able to speak from per-
scnal experience as to the effectiveness
CT this treatment, it certainly has the
merit of extreme economy, but it oc-
ours to us that the application of it to
Il case of nasal catarrh might he at
tended with difficulties.
Catarrh. as everyone knows. is a
chronic cold in the head and Mr..
Twain's treatment if it should become
Il fad would make Of us nation of
fasters; an army. femulatillg the en-
ample of the immortal Tanner who
achieved world wide fame by fasting
forty days.
Catarrh is certainly becoming a ma
tional disease and there is little doubt
but that errors in diet, particularly
over eating is very common cause
Most people however are more inter-
ested in the cure of the trouble than in
the cause, and modern medical science
has produced more effective and less
heroic remedies than Mr.. Twain's.
Hydrastin is new remedy, very eff
fective in some forms of Catarrh. Red
Gum is another which on account of
it's antiseptic properties is very valu-
able. while many severe cases of
Chronic Cetarrh have been entirely
cured by the sanguinaria or extract of
Blood root alone
Within year an enterprising chem
ist has combined all of these remedies
in tablet form, paIatable and con-
venient and the superiority of this
tablet over other catarrh remedies is
so apparent that all druggists now
carry them in stock to supply the
popular demand
They are called Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets and it is doubtful if any medi-
cine has achieved national popularity
in so short time as this.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are used
by thousands Of travelling men because
they can be carried in the pocket and
used any time and in any quantity be.
ing free from Cocaine, opiate or any
poisonous drug.
They clear the head and throat from |
the disgusting secretions of catarrh, |
very often in q few hours time.
For nasal catarrh they are far SUI
perior to any wash, lotion or ointment |
the use of which is often as incon-
venient and annoying as the disease
itself
For coughs, colds, bronchial catarrh
and catarrh Of stomach these tablets
give immediate relief and permanent
cure where lotions, douches and inhai-
ers make no impression whatever.
This preparation is a boon to catarrh
sufferers and any druggist will tell
you that Stuarts Catarrh Tablets is
remedy that has come to stay. T.

Midget was given first place and got 10
bushels of oats; Polly got second place
and bushels of oats, and Cyclone was
given third position and bushels of oats.
In this race discussion followed the last
heat as Polly crossed the line a short dis
lance ahead of Midget but was running
for some time before she crossed the line
and also as she crossed the line, and so
the heat was given to Midget. The win
ner of the fast race is the Old white
faced horse that has given the best ones
a go for first place and at this time he
was right in his element and won easily.
