There are few diseases that inffict
more torture than rheumatism and
there is probebly no disease for which
such q varied and useless lot of
remedies have been suggested. To
say that it can be cured IS, therefore,
q bold statement to make, but Cham

CATCHING WILD HORSES

The bronco is born for the saddle, but is given to resisting his fate and en- deayerors to make reciprocal the un- pleasantness with which human be- ings are associated in his mind. h. dians first captured him by the simple process of walking down through days and nights of wild dashes and short rests, of interrupted meals, thirst and anxiety, to final exhaustion. The white mans system of catching wSse horses is essentially the same. Two or more men with supplies and swift horses work together. When a herd is sighted one man follows it for all he is worth, while the others make camp. When the horse of the first man is exhausted he returns and another takes his place. The herd, kept on the jump. with little chance to eat, soon becomes tired out and is then easily driven to the corral. This method is practicable because the
 herd while fleeing returns to the same general locality.-Country Life ill

YEsTERDAY,s STOCK MARKET.


 atiOn and Rec0yers Losses.
 New York, May 1.-The stock market was free to-day from the pressure of yesterdays urgent liquidation, and re- covered vigorously something more than the losses of the day before. There was a decided shrinkage in the volume Iof business, showing that the bidding up of prices had to be carried further to recover a less amount of stocks than was sold yesterday. This constitutes Ian excellent showing of the reduced volume of stock offering for sale, and is an indication of technical strength in the market and of relief afforded by the liquidation so far completed, but there was a very marked falling off in the demand at the higher level of prices, the duliness of the trading showing a progressive increase. The inference is that the buying was, to a large extent, forced in the same way that yesterdays selling was. There was no important change in the news bearing on values, but there was a de- ,cided change in the temper shown in it's interpretation,
 The attitude towards Reading affords an illustrat tion. Yesterday the stock was sold on account of the news of the distribution of a part of Lake Shores treasury holdings, as this was supposed to be welI-informed view that the price had advanced unWarrantedly. To-day it was urged that the fact that this considerable supply had been mar keted without preventing the great rise in the stock was evidence of the ab- sorption power of the market for it and it's intrinsic strength. Yesterdays fears of a conflict at the Union Pacific special stockholders meeting over the proposed issue of $100000,000 of preferred stock were converted to-day into professed hopes of some extra action at that meeting of special benefit to stockhold- CTS. The street was without news from the meeting up to the closing of the market. The Northwestern and Pacific
 
 stocks, however, were the aggressive leaders of the rebound in prices, as they had been most acutely affected by the preceding drop. The southern group was also notably strong. Consolidated Gas had the benefit of the failure of the attempt to pass a law reducing the price of gas in this city.
 Foreign depression was of only slight effect upon our opening market, and the recovery set in&promptly. The esti- mates of the weeks currency move ment indicated g. nominal gain in cash by the banks. The upward rush of Peoples Gas at the end was due to the report of the defeat of a gas bill in the Illinois legislature.
 The sharp reaction during the final hour and the recovery to the firm clos- ing were notable for the exceedingly light dealings on which they were af- fected. 8,$
 Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value, $2,500,0O0. ;sg r~
 United States bonds were unchanged on call. }
