BestSpring Remedy Ever Formulated
PA|NE'S CELERY COMPOUND
Miss f. M. Swan Completely Cured of Terrible Blood
Troubles That Doctors Could Not Relieve

In the mouth of May, it is an abso-
lutely necessity that the body should
be furnished with richer and purer
supply of blood for the establishment
of health that can successfully cope

poisons from the system, and gives to
the thin, watery blood larger proper

(By the Associated Press.)

Richmond, Va, Oct. 2.-Concerning the
request for an extension by creditors
made by John L. Williams and Sons, of
this city, and j w. Middendorf Com
pany, a member of the firm of John L.
Williams & Sons, in this city said today:
$50 far very few show a disposition to
press us. On the contrary, we have graft
flying indications of a disposition to give
both of the firms time to realize on their
assets and make a settlement. l am sat
isfled we can pay out in full and leave us
So and the figures viii bear me out.
''Middendorf & Company and ourselves
have been trying to carry the load and
to take care of ourselves and our friends
by protecting the Seaboard markets. OuI
confidence in the securities has been
strong always, and is as strong now as
ever, but we have not been able to hold
them up against the mysterious and ir-
resistible fall in prices. With the market
in anything like normal condition for
these securities and others selling at any
where near their real value, we would be
far ahead.
I'VE are cramped simply by the i'm
possibility of selling any securities, nc
matter how sound, in the present condi
tion of the market. Our hope and belief
is that we shall tide over this without
loss to any creditor and with a fair
margin for ourselves"

Service, whose work is characterized by

The flood of March and April, 1903, in
the lower Mississippi was the greatest on
record, judging by the stages of the water
which reached 40 feet at Memphis and
1875 feet at New Orleans, the highest
stages known. The forecasts made by
Prof. Frankenfield were issued from to

A Healthy Condition in Baltimore.
(By the Associated Press.)

Baltimore, Oct 2.-There was no dis
turbance in financial circles here todaY
over the announcement that the well
known banking houses of j. William Mid
dendorf & Company, and John l.. viii
liams & Sons, had asked creditors for an
extension of time. After the first surprise
was over there was evidence on all sides
that the local financial situation was in
a healthy condition. Leading bankers and
brokers We're ready to lend helping hands
to prevent any temporary unsettlement
of the market from going too far, but this
was unnecessary There were reports on
the street that there would be joint
meeting of bankers and brokers for this
purpose but it was not held. Inquiry
among the heads of banking institutions
developed the fact that the general feel
ing was that the local situation did not
need any help and that as soon as peo-
pie began to view conditions clearly 1t
would show an improvement. This view
was so widely held that the suggestion of
a meeting t." take action to protect hold
ers of securities was dropped.
President Williams, of the Seaboard Air
Line and Middendorf & Company, have
received during the day many kilograms
of sympathy and offers for aid. Among
them was the following:
