nominations as a rebuke to the eAecu-

pleased to act on them.
Next it became noised about mat
certain appointive officers, who had
held their places several terms ana
given such general satisfaction that
their reappointment was looked ior'
as a matter OF course, were to be dis
placed in favor Of new, untried and
unknown men. Immediately there
was tumult. Knowing OF the feeling
as be did. the members could see IN
Gov. Bells contemplated action only
another stroke to their rutlled dignity.
They determined TO Fix him" The
Senate stood pledged not to conhrm
any nomination but the right one.
Then il was discovered that one OF
the officers was directly appointiye,
without the necessity Of conhrma-
tien. Nothing daunted, both houses
rushed through a bill making the
place conhrmable, Not only that,
but to checkmate the governor abso-
lutely, they provided that the old Off
cial (whom they wished retained)
should hold the office until the new
one Cwho must be the old one or he
won't be condrmed) is named by the
governor and confirmed. And the
irony of fate compelled Gov. Bell to
sign this bill! Otherwise it would
have been passed over his veto. Thus
was the governor drought to his
milk Pretty small business all
around, wasn't it, tor the powers that
be in this sovereign state?
If the Senate wished the old officials
retained-and we think it well that
they should be-the Senate's business
was to refuse to confirm other nomi-
and there its natural powers
ceased. The House had no moral
right to "butt in" at all. The special
legislation, designed to defeat the
governor in his own proper, il mis-
taken, conduct, was unworthy. The
animus behind il all was even more
censurable. The people do not pay
good money to send governors and
legislators to the capital to waste
their time sqpabbllng over petty
grievances and fancied indignities.

elected, isn't capable OF performing

words in favor OF the bill creating the
office, before he mad any idea of being
summoned to the place, he will feel
spurred to his utmost endeavor, for
he said not only believe this
officer will vastly improve the legal
service OF the state, but will prove
an actual money saver. If the attor-
general cannot save more than
his salary to the state in the first two
years, the office should be abolished"

Chicago, April 1S.-Pessimistic reports
Oh the condition of the winter wheat crop

was an active demand from the start,

trade informed of the poor prospects in

developed The long interests had appar-
emily been quite thoroughly cleaned up
on recent declines. Furthermore the do
nestle news was of such a bullish tenor
that comparatively little wheat was for
sale except on decided advances. Both
the northwest and southwest were good
buyers here, contributing materially 10

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, April I3.-The dull and I'M
certain stock market of today was the
natural outsome of the course of the pre-
vious market The rather violent break
in Union Pacific with which the market
closed yesterday was regarded as due to
d raid. a more careful consideration of
the part taken by the attorney general
In the Northern Securities proceedings at
ST. Paul modified the first impression that
the government was oposing itself on
principle TO the Union Pacifics efforts TO
recover it's former holdings of Northern
Pacific. But the action of the stock yes
terday on that supposition caused deep
ly grounded impression that the recent
mysterious accumulation of Union Pacific
is based on the hope of advantage to the
stock from the ends sought in the suit.
The speculative basis thus implied for the
recent movement in Union Pacific and the
phenomenal outcome of the factors in
the speculation caused misgivings. The
uncertainty thus caused and reflected in
the hesitating fluctuations in Union Pa
cific unsettled the whole market. To add
to the hesitation reports were circulated
of the formation of a formidable party
d
ing its holdings and putting out short
lines at the high level in preparation for
an onslaught on values. The effect of
these reports was to intimidate traders
from attempting to advance prices or
from buying stocks. The influence Of
foreign markets was also on the side of
reaction and there were fears that the
Russian naval disaster might result in
further depression in the Paris market.
The cancellation of an option on $4,000
tons pig iron by the United States Steel
was feared that the purchase would in
vite the resumption Of blast furnaces,
was not of reassuring effect on sentiment
regarding the iron and steel trade Re
newed strength in the wheat market
pointed to yesterdays weakness as due
to profit taking on the government report
with the ultimate effect still to be counted
with On the other hand reports were
current of a large export of steel pro-
ducts for March and the very cheerful
view of the trade outlook expressed by
the Iron Age and published near the
close had an important influence in rail-
lying the market The failure of the
threatened bear demonstration 10 appear
prompted some covering of shorts by
room traders and the closing was firm.

tically unrelieved 10 the close.

DON'T RISK A PENNY
GET WELL FIRST.

For 80 years I've been a physician.
j have treated nearly two million cases,
Surely you'll admit that such expert
ence must have taught me some certain
ties.
And.-alI that 1 know of disease and
cure,-all that j have proven to be worth
knowing.-is condensed into my six books
for the Sick.
Write for free copy today
They tell of my great discovery that
practically all diseases can be perma-
nently cured through the Sympathetic
Nerves
Not the nerves we feel with, see with
hear with, but the inside nerves.
1t is these that unconsciously operate
the vital Organs,-the Heart, Liver. Kid
neyS. Brain, etc.
When the inside nerves get run down.
that Organ which is weakest in the body
loses its power to act properly.
1t then throws its work upon the other
Organs.
These Organs in turn, become affected
through overwork, and so. scarcely any
case is found without complications.
/ proved 1t useless to doctor the indi-
vidual Organs themselves while the
Horsepower to fully operate them was
lacking
Sedatives temporarily deadened the
pain. but increased the distress after
wards
TONES revived the dropping powers,
only to insure relapse so soon as the
stimulus was withdrawn.
OF what use to hourly move ahead the
hands of a watch If its handspring be
seriously weakened?
There is but one sensible thing to do,
viz.-stiffen up the handspring.
That IS what my famous prescription
DR.. Shops Restorative-doeS
1t acts directly upon the Sympathetic
Nerve Center Just as steam acts in an
Engine
II provides, through these inside nerves,
the power TO make the weakest organ do
its duty.
II enables weak organs to cast off their
clogging waste matter, and TO repair
their worn tissue.
