The Beauties Of California Are Con-

As long as there remains the love
OF beauty in the human soul so long
will the glory of California scenery,
and that Of the whole Pacific coast,
prove source Of inspiration to the
poetic mind. Descriptive verse has
been from the beginning a marked
feature Of the literature of this region,
In fact, the term Landscape poets
may be properly applied to this bevy

ing of the states scenic beauty or it's
wealth Of color, it would not only
come as surprise to most reviewers,
but the loyalty of the poet might be
seriously questioned. !. While
all this display Of local color may seem
too apparent an effort on the part Of
Californians to place on their work
the stamp of definite locality, and
may be considered by some cheap
form of art, it is this very sensitive
ness to the beauty and grandeur with
which nature has clothed the West

This discharge Of mucus constitutes a,
weakening drain: the system cannot long
withstand the loss of mucus, hence it is that
women afflicted with catarrhal affections of
the pelvic organs feel tired and languid,
with weak back and throbbing brain. A
course of Peruna is sure to restore health
by cutting off the weakening drain Of the
daily loss of mucus.

If you do not derive prompt and satisfac-

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Oct. THE stock market
moved in rather bewildering way today,
but the dealings represented little more
than a cropping by professional traders TO
discern the sentiment OF the real holders
CT stocks. The reduction in the steel
dividend brought IN some heavy selling
orders, but they were all accepted at 'irst
by one house, which was credited with
acting for banking interests connected
with the corporation. Support was ac-
corded the stock, especially the preferred

sonality of the brokers employed Tor tins
purpose caused a surmise that the market

was forced down over point at one

The late strength in Atchison which
rallied the Whole market, seemed to Dc
based upon the declaration of the regu-
lar quarterly dividend OF one per cent
and to the growing sense OF security over
the safety of the corn crop. The insuf-
ficiency of dividend considerations to nod
prices of the industrials was shown in
the case of American Car, which fell a
