STOCK MARKET
Points of Strength Scattered Through
 cut It.

outfit,
 New York, Dec. 24.-To-day's stock market showed points of strength scat tered all through it, but the room trad- CTS who had the market all to them selves accepted this as part of the Christmas celebration almost as much as the strains of the brass band that enlivened the proceedings on the floor of the stock exchange during the last hour of the session. Of the stocks which moved notably, only one or two were in the list of usually prominent stocks. In many cases the gains noted were in stocks that had not moved for weeks.
 The lingering effect of the increase announced yesterday in the Lake Shore dividend was manifest in movements of handful of a high grade stocks, some in the railroad and some in the industrial list. Rumors of possible div idend increases accompanied some of these advances and with others there went suggestions of coming distribu- tion of surplus known to be in the trcasurles of these companies. There was obvious 8 speculative contest in General Electric and Westinghouse Electric, the price of the latter being bid up across the former, thus making good predictions current for some time past, but relapsing again to below the parity. The actions of the cotton and wheat markets in response to the war rumors, which took on an alarlnist tene was not such as to suggest harmful re- suits of American interests even in the event of war

.RETURNS OF
CITY ELECTION
Revised Figures Show Result
Practically the Same
AS PUBLISHED YESTERDAY
Mclean Made Big Gains Over
His Last Election.
AS PUBLISHED YESTERDAY

It was nearly s o'clock yesterday morn
ing before the official counting of the
vote cast at Tuesdays election was COM
pleted. The result was practically the
same as published in the Eagle. There
was a difference of one vote on mayor
IN favor of Ben f. Mclean.
An analysis Of the figures compared
with 1891, when Mr.. Mclean ran the first
time, shows that he gained s47 votes.
while the opposition lost 3l4 votes. In
1901 Mr. Mclean received 1898 votes; this
year ne received 4,S45. In 1901 the oposi-
ton received 4,754 votes; this year II re-
eeived 4,440. This does not include the
Socialists. Two years ago Mr.. Mclean
lacked 100 of having a majority; this
year ne has majority of IS. A funny
thing about this is that a great deal of
money was lost on what is known as
catch" bets. the catcbers getting caught
While everybody understands the differ
ence between the words majority" and
plurality very few use the latter word.
The night OF the election some men who
had lost heavily on regular bets thought
they would retrieve by making some
catch bets. Nobody thought Ben Nc
Lean would have a majority, and the
sharp ones offered to bet that he would
not have fifty majority. The innocent
not thinking of the word plurality, took
up considerable of the money The sharp
pnes played heavily while the suckers"
lasted. but to their surprise Mclean had
a majority of S.. IN other words, they
lost all round and were telling hard luck
stories yesterday.
One of the noticeable developments of
the campaign and election Were the re-
suits in the second precinct of the First
ward. There is where Chief Of Police
Frank Burt lives, and while the entire fire
of the enemy was directed on him his
precinct became absolutely the banner
plurality precinct in the city. He said
yesterday that while the city vindicated
Ben Mclean, his neighbors Vindicated
him.
There was nothing but good feeling yes
terday Everybody shook their heads and
said IL was a hot fight. and that they
hoped they would never again have TO go
through one like it. Ben Mclean was the
most fatigued man in town, and he took
q well-earned rest He did the hardest
days work in his life last Tuesday, ac-
cording to his own admission. Finlay
Ross came down town bright and early
end went about his business as if he had
no hand in the doings of the previous day.
He admitted that the Mclean victory
was a decisive one and was entirely salts
fed with the result.
The police say it was the quietest cleo
ton day in the history of the city. al
though a forecast was made that there
would be stirring times on account of the
great interest taken by both sides.
One of the most admirable features of
the battle was that when the result was
known nobody seemed TO be out of humor,
but, on the contrary, in Unexpectedly
good humor.
The following are the corrected returns
as received by the elections committee of
the CITY council:

Prejudice Often Bars Cure

Prejudice instilled by old-time Gus
toms and ideas of those content with
the ordinary methods of treatment that
have been supplanted by modern, sue
cessful scientific measures, is often re
sponsi5le for delay and the prevention
of cure.
Those of our citizens and neighbors
who have been cured by the scientific
treatment given by DR.. Turhln of Chi
cago are astonished that they allowed
themselves to be so long dissuaded from
taking advantage of his skill. DR..
Turbin is master of abdominal pelvic.
genito- urinary and all chronic, nervous
and special diseases of both sexes.
All who availed themselves of his
skill have found in the doctor the tlue
qualities of advanced science and the
attributes Of courtesy which entitle
him to the respect and confidence of the
community.
1t is to the advantage of every chrouic
sufferer to consult the doctor, because
his exceptional diagnostic ability en-
ables him to point out the source of
cure in many cases which have baffied
Others of his profession Incurable
cases the doctor does not accept for
treatment. but many hundreds of suf-
ferers pronounced hopelessly incurable
by other physicians have been restored
to perfect health by DR.. Turbin.
The trickery of an army of medical
sharks is 80 common that the motives
Of a worthy and capable man are a
source of qualification and the doctor
has certainly gained the esteem of the
people in this section of the state and
be may be consulted with the same
degree of assurance and confidence as
the regular family attendant. Consul
tation is free
Dr. Turbin will be in Manitowoc,
Friday, April "a at the Williams House.

Writes Letter to The Pilot En-.
dOrsing Antitrust Policy
AS ANNOUNCED BY PRESIDENT
Takes Exception to an Editorial Appearing
in THIS Paper
SHOULD WATCH AND AWAIT RESULT:
Think All The Trusts Will Be Killed By Tn
Vigorous Use of Sherman
Law

AS "a comment on an editorial printed
in the Manitowoc Pilot the following
communication is sent to the paper by
w. c. SEEKER, of Milwaukee.
EDITOR OF PILOT:
I'm an editorial on the presidents
Milwaukee speech you take occasion
to criticize the position of the president
in regard to trusts. fear that you are
unduly prejudiced. You appear to lose
sight of the fact that the Sherman anti
trust law which had bean dead letter
from its enactment in 1899 until a short
time ago is at present being enforced
by President Roosevelt rs vigorously
and vigorously as he enforced the exise
laws in New York
The action taken by Attorney Gener-
al Knox at the instance of the president
has resulted in the dissolution of the
Beef and Salt Trusts and the pool of the
Southern railroads. Only a few days
ago the United States Court of Appeals
at st. Paul permanently enjoined the
Northern Securities company from
mergering the interests of the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific rail
roads.
"In consequence of the strenuous efforts
of the president and despite the council
of the party leaders not to attempt any
important legislation during the short
session, the congress that just clo-ed its
labors, enacted some far reaching mea-
sures not the least important Is the
presidents antitrust rebate measure
and the $500 900 appropriation to en-
force it, In his Milwaukee speech the
president asked the people to await re-
suits. Before passing Judgement let us
give the administration pportuniry to
enforce the law.
The work Of President Roosevelt,
from the moment he entered public life
has at all times been characterized by
his honesty and bravery In meeting is
sues and conditions The president TO-
day seems to be the same man that he
was when police commissioner of New
York. He is still governed by the same
we'll grounded convictions by the same
highly developed sense Of right and
wrong. The pressure of corporate
wealth is of no avail if right is on its
side. The people, the welfare of all the
people, is his chief concern, and hence
consistently he cannot and is not the
enemy of wealth as such. 1t lis the abuse
of wealth he is fighting so fearlessly
For this Wall Street and Wall Street
interests everywhere hate him.

COMMITTEE ON THE
COURT HOUSE WENT
MUCH TOO FAR

AS predicted il The Pilot several
weeks ago the bill Of the architects,
Kinney & Detweiler of Minneapolis
who were authorized by the committee
Of the County board on securing plans
and specifications for new court house,
will not be allowed. The com
mlttee entered into contrsct with the
architects for the preparation of designs
and agreed to pay $35oo FOR the work
It seems, according to District Attorney
Hougen, that the resolution under which
the committee acted, did not permit it
to go so far.
The committee dissent from the opn-
ion of the district attorney but Judge
Cratic, the committees attorney agrees
with Mr.. Hougen.
