to the money situation by the operator;

was due, of course, to the probable effect
on money Sterling was in quite strong
demand, today, despite yesterdays heavy
engagements of grain for export and good
hopes of a continuance of this outgo. Re-
newed strength in Erie and st. Paul, to-
day, and vigorous support of Reading
seemed to be designed to reassure spec
ulative sentiment, but when it was per
ceived that advantage was being taken OF
this sustaining influence to effect large
selling of Rock Island, the selling was
renewed throughout the list and there
was no important recovery until the last
hour when Manhattan was lifted points
over last night and Erie was run up
again to the top level of the morning.
Contributory causes to the heaVineSS Were

Again the Disappearing Bison.

The disappearance of the American
bison, which has been so much COM
mented upon in the past few years, is
the subject of special report made by
the secretary of the interior to the
United States Senate. This report is
the result of the following order passed
at the last session: 'That the secre-
tary of the interior and the secretary
of agriculture be directed to transmit
to the Senate any facts which they
possess with reference to the preserva-
ton in the United States, or the Do
minion of Canada, of the buffalo or
American bison: informing the Senate
whether or not such animals are dying
out or are on the increase; to what
extent they are running Wild or are be-
ing sdomesticated., and whether or not
such as remain are of pure or mixed
blood: and also Informing the Senate
whether or not any steps ought to be
taken by the United States for the
preservation from extinction of such
animals
The report is of no little interest and
may be accepted as good authority.
Less than a generation ago there were
great herds of tens of thousands of
these animals rowing over the western
prairies. Now the cruelty and rapacity
of man have driven these animals al
most to the point of extinction. Re
turns have been received from the
officials Of every state and territory,
also Canada. and the recapitulation
shows in the United States. Canada

AN OBJECT LESSON
In a Restaurant.

A physician puts the query: Have
you never noticed in any large res
taurant at lunch or dinner time the
large number of hearty, vigorous ole
men at the tables; men whose age:
run from GO to so years; many of then
bald and all perhaps gray, but none
of them feeble or senile?
Perhaps the spectacle is so common
as to have escaped your observation OF
comment. but nevertheless it is an OBJ
ject lesson which means something.
If you will notice what these hearty
old fellows are eating you will OBJ
serve that they are not munchins
bran crackers nor gingerly picking
their way through menu card Of new
tangled health foods: on the contrary
they seem to prefer juicy roast Of
beef a properly turned loin of mutton
and even the deadly broiled lobster is
not altogether ignored.
The point of all this is that a vigor-
Gus old age depends upon good diges-
ton and plenty of wholesome food and
not upon dieting and an endeavor to
live upon bran crackers.
There IS q certain class of food cranks
who seem to believe that meat, coffee
and many other good things are rank
poisors. but these cadaverous sickly
looking individuals are walking con-
demnation of their own theories.
The matter in nutshell is that if the
stomach secretes the natural digestive
juices in sufficient quantity any whole
some food Will be promptly digested;
if the stomach does not do so. and GER
tain foods cause distress one or two of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each
meal will remove all difficulty because
they supply just what every weak
stomach lacks, pepsin, hydro-cbloric
acid. 6iastase and nuX. ..,-
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets do not
act upon the bowels and in fact are not
strictly medicine, as they act al
most entirely upon the food, eaten,
digesting it thoroughly and thus gives
a much needed rest and giving an APP
petite for the next meal.
OF people who travel nine out of ten
use Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets know
ing them to be perfectly safe to use at
any time and also having found out by
experience that they are a safeguard
against Indigestion in any form, and
eating as they have to, at all hours and
all kinds of food, the travelling public
for years have pinned their faith to
Stuart's Tablets.
All druggists sell them at so cents for
full sized packages and any druggist
from Maine TO California, if his opinion
wer asked. will say that Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets is the most popular
and successful remedy for any stomach
trouble. ian12-14-16

The Vermont Campaign.

Considering the great amount OF eX-
citement that prevailed in Vermont
during the summer and fall over the
question of prohibition versus license
Il is hard to understand the apathy
that exists there regarding the election
which is now less than three weeks
away. The word from Vermont indi-
Gates that there seems to be very little
interest in the matter and that the
vote will be a very light one. Winter
is not very Favorable time for cam
paigning in Vermont, but after the
heated battles Witnessed there in the
conventions and on the stump, few
months ago, and later in the Legisla-
ture. one would naturally expect to
hear that every citizen of the Green
Mountain State is planning to sur
mount snow drifts and all other
obstacles, February 8, and vote at any
cost.
Possibly one reason for the lack OF
excitement is the curious fact that the
vote of February will not necessarily
be decisive. The exact terms of the
reperendum are very peculiar and are
not generally understood outside of the
state. The Vermont Legislature
passed q high license and local option
act. and as it stands this act is already
the law of Vermont. The people are
not to express their choice, February
3, whether they want it or not. They
only have the privilege of saying whe-
Their it shall go into effect one month
later, March 3, or not until December
1904.
However, it is the understanding
that if a majority of the votes are cast
against the new law going into effect
March 3, 1903, that decision will be tax
en- as indicating that a majority of the
voters of Vermont want the prohibitory
law to continue as it has for half 6
century. Then one of two things viii
be done The whole battle will be
fought over again in the campaign OF
1904 and if the local option and license
people win, as they did last fall, the
new law will go into effect December
/, 1904. If the friends of a prohibitory
law win in September, 1904, the law
will be repealed before it is time for il
to go into effect and Vermont will con-
tinue a prohibitory state.
1t is worth noting that very few OF
the Vermont newspapers openly favor
the new law. Several of the stronges
papers vigorously oppose it, and many
keep on the safe middle ground. Thus
rs far as outsiders can see, the chances
are that Vermont, in spite of the defea
of the prohibition forces, last fall, viii
refuse to endorse the local option an(
high license law at the polls, February
g. Time will show if there is n still
hunt in progress by the friends of the
new law, and in no state will the result
be watched with more interest than il
our own.

and the countries outside North
America, a grand total of 1910 head.
The states of Colorado and Wyoming
are the only sections of the country
number only 70 enjoying life under
natural conditions. The number do
mesticated or in captivity in the
United States is 1911, and they are not
all full -blooded. The state that re-
ports the most buffalo is Montana, with
300 head. Singularly enough, New
Hampshire comes next with ITO head,
the development of a herd founded by
the late Austin Corbin, and located at
Blue Mountain Park, Texas, comes

owned by Willim C. Whitney and hav-
ing their home on october Mountain.
OF course. it was necessary that the
buffalo herds should be thinned out to
make way for advancing civilization,
but it was not necessary and not wise
to carry the work almost to extermina-
ton. Their enemies were almost as
wanton as those who have denuded
the East of it's most valuable forests.
The men of wealth who have saved
the buffalo from wholly disappearing
have done public-spirited and
patriotic service. and the government
cannot too soon take up their work AND
do what is possible to make partial
restoration of what has been wasted
The secretary of the interior makes
| this report, based on the information
he has obtained: "In my judgment
steps should be taken by the United
States for the preservation from ex-
tinction of the buffalo or American
bison, and with that end in view have
submitted to Congress an estimate OF
$50 00o for the purchase of buffalo ant
the coI.ralling of them in the Yellow
stone National park. With these
animals in a national reservation. un
der governmental supervision. it is be-
|lieved that a herd of pure bloodet
American bison may be domesticated
which will increase in numbers. ant
the herd now running wild in TIL
park may be also benefited by the in
