the break that this stock has suffered IN the
last two days II is natural TO assume that a
temporary recovery at least will take place and
it is therefore likely that spectators who had
the courage to buy the stock in yesterdays
market will be able to sell their holdings at a
profit in to-day's operations.
All the standard shares were heavily sold,
while throughout the list transactions were
heavy, many of the usually inactive issues sup

Of Wide Interest.

Breed, Wis, July 18-Special-
Charles Y. Peterson, Justice OF the
Peace for Oconto Co., has delivered
a judgment that is of interest to the
whole United States. Put briefly, that
judgment is, "Dodd's Kidney Pills are
the best Kidney medicine on the mar
ket to-day"
And Mr.. Peterson gives his reason
for this judgment. He says: Last
winter | had an aching pain In my
back which troubled me very much.
l.. the morning | could hardly straight
en- my back. | did not know what 1t
was but an advertisement led me to
try Dodd's Kidney Pills. After taking
one box can only say they have done
more for me than expected as | feel
as well now as ever did before
Pain in the back is one of the first
symptoms of Kidney disease. If not
cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills it may
develop into Bright's Disease, Dia-
betes, Rheumatism or some OF the
other deadly forms Of Kidney Disease

and call for help, even when she was
suffering from this mania. she
would be liable to do everything that
she did and still be in a state OF
acute anameia.
"The fact that she was shrieking
and screaming in the well and that
she fought her husband and thoss
who came to her assistance is indi-
cation that her mind was deranged.
The acute congestion of the lungs
that was the cause of her death was
brought about by exposure in the wa
ter and the strain upon her lungs by
her shrieks and screams. Her refer
ence in her delirium to monsters ana
men who had carried her away was
additional evidence of her mental
condition.
IF there had been a robbery or
an attempt at assault there would
have been some evidence of it. There
is no such evidence. She was not
the victim of foul play, but of sud
den attack of insanity"

IDEAL STUDY FOR AUTHOR.
Where Irving Bachelor Turns Out
His Widely Read Books.


Irving Bachelor, the novelist, has
what is probably unique study in
which to do his work. Mr.. Bachelor
has Quilt home at Sound Beach.
Conn.,, a stones throw from the wa
ter. The house stands at the head
of a sloping lawn, facing the broad
reaches of the beautiful sound, where
the novelist refreshes himself with
his favorite sport, fishing. His den
is not in the house, but is a separate
square-built structure on the rocky
edge of the water, and when the tide
is high it is half boat, half house, for
the waves come up under it in a sort
of a tunnel built directly beneath
for the safe housing of boat. When
DR.. Bachelor has been working hard
far into the night he goes to sleep
in the study, with the tapping of the
water all around and under him. 1t
is an ideal den for literary man
who is also a fisherman and loves the
water.

Showed Bravery in Disaster.

The German emperor has deter
mined to confer decorations on those
who risked their lives in saving pass
engers on the Inflated steamboat Gen
eral Slocum, recently burned in the
river at New York. AS the former
ruler of many who lost their lives on
the vessel, he has instructed Consul
General Buenez to procure for him
list of names of those whose rescues
were distinguished by heroism. 1t
was he who first cabled for list OF
the dead, which was promptly sent
While this list was being prepared,
however, another request was re-
ceived for the names Of the bravest
three women nurses. This Consul
General Buenez submitted to Health
Commissioner Darlington, who is now
engaged in the delicate task OF pick
ing these from among the many WON
en- who did noble service on that oc-
casion.

lions have been more or less suS-
ricious.
The coroner is undecided as TO
Mrs. Starbuck's death and is inclined
to doubt foul play DR.. B. Smith
SAYS Mrs. Starbuck's death was not
the result of crime. He was her phy-
s;cian. She was of highly nervous or
ganization.
He says: Her death was caused
by acute congestion of the lungs,
following an attack of acute pneu-
monia. | have had in my practice
numbers of cases of this kind. In
this particular case Mrs. Starbuck
was the mother of a 16-weeks-old
baby. am told that on Saturday she
worked very hard and was exposed
to heat from a stove over which she
was cooking.
my opinion is that she was sud
denly stricken with this mania and
imagined she saw someone coming in
the window, seized her baby and ran
to the well, not to kill herself, but
to protect herself and babe from the
monster she spoke of in her delirium.
She was liable to go to the telephone
