ception of touch of rheumatism since my
age came on, up to the time of my husbands
last illness some years ago. | assisted in
nursing my husband for nearly three months
when he departed this life and the mental
strain l think caused my trouble. Aside
from extreme nervousness my trouble com
menced with sore throat and neuralgia. My
physician gave me purgative doses which
weakened me very much and my stomach
for a time seemed inactive. Mental strain
and the dormant condition of my stomach
soon told upon my general health. l had
little appetite and was soon forced to stay in
bed a greater part of the time. Within a

NEW B. & o. R. R. SCHEDULE

The changes In the new time
cards of the Ohio River Division of
the B & o. railroad, which have
lust been distributed to the local
agents, are not hard to find. The
only change In the new schedule OF
the arrival and departure of train
here, was In the east bound train
due heretofore In the evening at
6:15 This train goes through to
Plttsburg and will arrive here at
o:Io under the new schedule, which
goes into effect next Sunday morn =
ing. The train arrives here FIVE
minutes earlier Is the only
change In the new time cards.
The number of one passenger train
has also been changed from TOT to
TO. This covers the entire changes
made In the new schedule, and will
not cause the public but little In
convenience In becoming accus-
omed to the new schedule. The
railroad company acted wisely In
no, altering the old schedule, as
the present one seems to give en-
tire satisfaction to the people and

Walked For the Cake

The "cullud" people of the upper
strata had a cake walk and general
jollifcation at the Citizen Hose
House last evening. Four couples
contested for the cake and lesser
prizes and the awards went to Chas.
Davis and lady, Mary johnson;
Robert Hanna and lady, Mary
Langhan; W. 81. Rains aud lady,
Maria Leftriggs, respectively.
After the decision had been made
the judges-H. E, Kenney, George
Lawson, A. E. Aggas and Lynn
Kirkland thought they detected a
movement for razors on the part of
disappointed contestants and made
an exit that was characterized more
by haste than ceremony.

DAILY STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Trading Feverish But Without Evidences of Severe Press
ure-Many Gains in Initial Transactions.
London Reports Favorable

NEW YORK. March 6.-The stock
market opened active and somewhat fc-
verish, but showing az the same time
none OF the severe pressure which pre-
vailed at the close of business yesterday.
On the contrary the initial transactions
showed many gains from yesterdays last
prices. the advances extending in some
cases 10 nearly 1 per cent.
The Improvement in the markets
tendencies was partially owing to the
absence OF any confirmation OF ycster-
days malignant rumors and also 10 the
advances shown in American stock in
London. For the rest attention was
still largely taken up with considera-
tions Of the monetary situation. and it
vas commonly expected that tomor-
rows bank statement would show a fur
Their severe cut in surplus reserves.
There was much conjecture also with
regard 10 the position OF the Southern
Pacific pool II was the general opin-
ion that while the pool is nominally in
tact its members have i'm many cases
virtually liquidated their holdings.
The most active features of the early
dealings were Union and Southern Pa
cific, Missouri Pacific. Atchison. and the
Wabash issues. Amalgamated Copper
showed strength on a sharp rise IN the
metal in the London market. The
United States Steel shares. while ac-
tive. huctuated within small limits
Sugar Refining showed comparative
strength.
The international list varied much in
both directions from the London quota
tions. Whatever assertiveness was dis
played in prices was confined to stocks
not having an international market
Dealings in Southern Pacific we're
somewhat larger than usual with 4
maximum advance OF = per cent only
partly held. Its comparative activity
was apparently due 10 a partial public
ity Of the regulations governing large
speculative pool.

\ slight advance in Manhattan did not
hold well. There was recovery OF =
per cent in Tennessee Coal and Iron. and
in the later dealings a broader and
slightly higher market developed in
Brooklyn Rapid Transit. The active
operations in Rock Island carried its
price up a maximum OF = per cent.
Bond dealings were scattering with
prices steady.
LondOns buying today was in scat
terinE hundreds. and chiefly OF United
States Steel There was a disposition
to puy at the opening. but he rapid
rally here destroyed all the arbitrage
profit.
In the first hour the whole market
looked genuinely better and the rally
promised to be of more importance than
the frequent temporary recoveries Of
the past week. In no place did the tone
improve .more than in the bond depart
ment where the commission orders 10
buy small lots OF speculative issues
aggregated handsome figures
In the stock market outside commits
sion business was still poor. and the
out-of-town wire houses reported almost
nothing doing. but the room traders
were more ready to trade on either side
as the occasion demanded. There were
very large lots.
The largest trade in Amalga ANA "a
Copper was 800 shares A semi-pro-
fessional operator bought the same
amount of Baltimore and Ohio. consti-
tuting the largest transaction. There
was single 1000 share lot handled in
St Paul. Dealings in Southern Pacific
were scattered and the specialists re
ported no feature. In the second hour
the whole market weakened 10 a greater
or less extent. The most important sell
ing at this time was in Union Pacific.
OF which Stewart. Barr & Co. sold
somewhere over .. 600 shares. Elsewhere
a rpaCtiOnary tone was due TO an al
sence OF demand rather than any IN
crease in the supply.
