MEXICAN CENTRAL PLAN.

Regarding the criticisms of the proposed plan to
offer debenture certificates in exchange for the
income bonds Of the Mexican Central Railway
Company, attention is called the fact that there
Is no security back of the income bonds except
the ability Of the company TO make earnings suf1-
cent 10 pay interest The coupons are non-cuInu-
iative, and, with the present outlook it is au-
thoritatveIy stated that there is little or no pros
pect Of the company being able 10 pay the interest
or these bonds for some years to come. 1t is now
proposed 70 offer in exchange security that will
bear interest from the first, and which interest is
an absolute fixed charge against the company. In
view OF these facts. regardless of what the income
bonds may have cost present holders and of what
the apparent sacrifice be by reason OF ex-
changing them for the debenuure certificates it is
urged by the companys directors that the pro-
posed plan is both fair and feasible TO the income
bondholders. II is also suggested that the facts
as just stated comprise the subsistence Of the whole
proposition
Il has been suggested thsL The management of
the railway company has expended larger sums
for improvements and new equipment than the in
crease in traffic demanded, and that the approprIa-
ttons for these purposes might be cur down and
the difference used for the payment Of interest on
income bonds In connection with this il Is stated
that when the present manas cement took hold OF.

bad, and that the expenditures for improvements
and equipment have rot only been warranted.

THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

Stock market values moved within narrow
limits on small volume of business total deal

Early quotations were generally under Satur-
DAVIS final figures, but declines were only frac-
fional and not accompanied by liquidation,
while throughout the day selling was wholly
professional and without significance, save as
showing that sentiment among the professional
element is still bearish. In the afternoon trad
ing there were fractional recoveries in many
issues, but final prices showed more net losses
rhan gains New-York Central, St. Paul and
PENNSYLVANIA were under pressure. declining
over point each, although recovering part Of
rhe loss before the close. Erie common was IN
fair demand: also Amalganated Copper, United
States Steel and Union Pacific these shares be-
ing exceptions TO the general heaviness closing
At small net gains. The advance in the cotton
market had an adverse effect on sentiment, and
she general position of the cotton situation was
discussed with considerable uneasness in specu-
lative circles. Bankers, however. expressed no
alarm over the situation in cotton, while they
we're not all bearish the stock market
Many good market observers believe that the
market viii be waiting one, and that little
business will be transacted until after the corn
crop is harvested.
Sterling exchange was strong again, with
higher quotations for both posted and actual
rates. The supply Of grain and cotton bills was
light. In London the price Of gold was ad-
vanced. making the second advance within
week. and putting the English supply of gold
still further beyond the reach Of this market,
while checking the outward movement from
London to Egypt and Germany. The local
money market is in no need of gold imports at
The present time. but it is believed that if an
urgent demand arises at this centre later in the
season there VIII be no difficulty in securing the
metal The bank statement for last week
showed better conditions as to resources than
recorded at this time in several years and,
despite the large loans, bankers consider the
situation absolutely sound. Bank leans are well
secured The banks are rot in business for thcir
health and increasing their loans, a. long as
they keep within the limits Of safety. Is strictly

THE melancholy days are come, the saddest of the year, but pumpkin pies will soon be ripe, and therefore l don't keer. The rustling corn must hurry up, the frost is on it's track. and soon we'll feel the chilling breeze, so says the almanac. The wary quail has timid grown and pipes her gentle warning, the winds from misty dells begin to chill up in the morning. The canned fruit has been put away and packed down in the cellar; the good old sum- mer time is past, the year is grow ing meller.

HE following is similar to an

THE following is similar to an article that THE TRIBUNE ex- poets to see in the Eureka Springs Flashlight the week followin g the democratic primary: Jeff Davis is nominated. By his skullduggery he has again suc- ceeded in hoodwinking the dem- ocracy of Arkansas, but the fact remains that he is not fit for the church, decent society or any thing else. His administration has retarded the growth of Ark ansas for fifty years and has given coloring to the many disgraceful stories that is told on the state. The Flashlight was opposed to him, because We felt it a duty we owed to our country, and we did everything that we honorably could do to prevent his nomina- tion; but he is nominated and we are going to vote for him. With all his faults, he is a demo- crat and any sort of a democrat is better than any republican ]; hence, since he has won out in the primary we are going to SUD- port him, but two years from now we will be squarely against him in his race for the United States Senate"

AN exchange hits the nail on the head when it says: "Man's 8 business requires haste" The average business and profession al man eats in a hurry and gets dyspepsia. He walks in a hurry and gets approplexy. He talks in a hurry and gets the lie. He does business in hurry and be- comes bankrupt. He reads in a hurry and is superficial. He votes ill sl hurry and produces corruption. He marries in a hurry and gets 8 divorce. He trains his children in a hurry and develops spendthrifts and crimi- nals. He gets religion in a hurry and forgets 1t ill hurry. He makes d will in a hurry and l'aves a legal contest. He dies in 8 hurry and goes to the devil and lis tribe increase.

A German Farmers Case.

Rich Fountain, Mo-, Aug. 17th:-
Rev. Joseph Pope of this place is
widely and favorably known as a
clergyman who has done and is doing
much for his people. He is very much
beloved by everyone for the faithful
ness of his pastoral work.
Rev. Mr.. Pope has given for publica-
ton. statement made to him by a
German farmer who is a member of
his congregation. The mans name is
George Hoellerer, and he has given
Rev. Mr.. Pope this letter:
Last winter I suffered very much
with Rheumatism. l could neither
walk nor ride on horseback nor do
any farm work.
Il took medicine from different doc
tors but they did not do me any good.
Then I tried Dodd's Kidney Pills pro-
cured for me by a good friend. After
had taken the first box felt already
a heep better: / was relieved of the
pain and could walk and chop wood :;
and the contraction of my fingers be-
gan to resolve.
"Now, since have taken six more
boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills I feel
well again and am able to do all the
work on the farm"
