HOT SHOT FOa LAWSON
BY w. c. NICHOLAS.

New York, May 27.-The stock market
mas been slipping and sliding and con-
torting lately like a glass-footed man on
an ice foe. There has been no apparent
reason or explanation for many of the
recent market movements. In many of
the favorites the price action has been
eccentric To an extreme rarely witnessed
on the stock exchange The rank and
file of traders have been at sea and have
gambled wildly trying to guess the mean
ing Of the play 1t is probable true that
some important factions and interests in
the street have been lending more or
less support to their speclalties, but
without concerted effort to boost prices
The effect of this has been irregularity
all along the line. Some one in trying
to give an idea of the situation said it
was simply a case of reversal of the
Cleveland remark of being confronted
with condition and not a theory" the
conformation now being a theory and
not a condition. As a matter of fact
the business situation is in the main sat
isfactory. Mills and factories are going
under full Roadway in every part Of the
country and the agricultural outlook has
!
Indications point to bumper yields of
every crop that has made airy consider
able progress. 1t is too early yet to
know anything about corn, but for wheat
oats cotton and the grasses the promise
is unusually bright. Trade authorities
continue to report & lull IN tile demand
for pig IRON but aside from that the
metal industries are satisfactory. In
+ Wall street alone there is uncertainty
i The big people having realized profits on
/ their tremendous speculative lines, are
not yet ready to go back into the mar
4 ket in a wholesale fashion, preferring
rather to await the certainty of bounti-
/ full crops than to take chances. Some
OF them are preparing for their summer
vacations. giving themselves a few more
weeks than customary Others are going
on exploring expeditions looking after
scattered interests here and there and
everywhere and spying out new territory
in the southwest and in Mexico.

Anent Lawson.

The Boston case of paresis is making
rapid Roadway The latest manifestation
was in a namboyant advertisement coin
cdent with the distribution of a frenzed
magazine, in which the paretc an
bounced that he was organizing the peo-
pie of the country to raid the banks upon
a given day when he should signal in
the form of an address scheduled for de-
livery soon in the state of Kansas. Ac-
eording to the paretic programme framed
by this poor victim of delusions of gran
deur everybody owning securities is to
sell them at once, turn the cash into the
banks and then by simultaneous demand
on these institutions cause universal ruin.
the object of the proposed wreck is that
the system may be crushed along with
the rest of the people, all going down
together under the falling walls of the
temple. The unfolding of the scheme
gives the public the FIRST clear insight
into the theory which mas been working
in the crazy brain of the originator for
year or more and has really created a
sentiment akin to pity for the poor fell
low. His extraordinary magazine produc-
tons has led many to believe that he
really might have some remedy for the
wrongs that are made possible under ex-
listing conditions but now that his real
purpose has been revealed the fact stands
out that the frenzied gentleman from
Boston is suffering from disordered
brain, as those who know him best have
all along commended. The truth has been
more or less understood in financial quar-
ters for a good while. but there has
existed vague uneGsiness lest he might
have continued malign influence among
the outside multitudes and by his fulmi-
nations produce settled distrust II was
not what Wall street thought itself, but
what it thought the rest of the world
might think. which engendered transient
uneasiness in the speculative district.

What is the man doing behind the
counter?
He is selling meat. Let us watch him
What is the lady going up to the coun-
ter for?
To buy meat from the greasy man
with the white apron.
What does she ask for?
A five-pound roast of porterhouse.
What does he give her?
A seven-pound roast.
Then does he charge her for only what
she asked for?
No, indeed. He charges her Tor what
he chose to give her.
Didn't the lady know what she wanted?
Evidently the man didn't think so.
Can't he tell the weight of a piece of
meat when he picks it up?
Certainly he can. Otherwise he would
never be able to know that he is always
selling you piece of meat several rounds
bigger than you wanted.
Why does he do this?
1t is impossible to associate constantly
with greasy things and not become pretty
smooth yourself. Now run and play.

Borrowers Welcome.

Money lenders are extending the glad
hand to borrowers. giving thell all the
funds wanted on long or short time and
at reasonable interest. Cheap money will
be the rule throughout the remainder Of
the year, barring cataclasms. There has
been some OVERRIDING in the recent issue
of bonds by Gould, Hartman and other
factions, but capital appears to be easily
obtainable for legitimate purposes by the
larger and more conservatively managed
corporations like Pennsylvania. New
York Central and those other railroads
which are spending millions upon millions
for increased terminal facilities in the
larger traffic centers. The roads which
completed their financing while the bond
market was in good shape a few months
ago are very comfortably situated.

Acts Like Oxygen

Liquozone is not made by COM
pounding drugs, nor is there any alco-
hol in it. Its virtues are derived sole
ly from gas-largely oxygen gas-py
a process requiring immense appa-
ratus and IA days time. This process
has, for more than 20 years. been the
constant subject of scientific and
chemical research.
The result is a liquid that does what
oxygen does. 1t is nerve food anu
blood food-the most helpful thing IN
the world to you. It's effects are ex-
hilarating, vitalizing, purifying YET
1t is an absolutely certain germicide.
The reason is that germs are vcSet-
'ables and Liquozone-like an excess
of oxygen-is deadly to vegetal mat
ter.

EoR DISEASE GERM THAT LIouozoNE CAN'T KILL

Liquozone goes into the stomach,
into the bowels and into the blood, to
go wherever the blood goes. No germ
can escape it and none can resist it.
The results are inevitable, for a germ
disease must end when the germs are
killed. Then Liquozone. acting as a
wonderful tonic, quickly restores a
condition of perfect health. Diseases
which have resisted medicine for
years yield at once to Liquozone, and
1t cures diseases which medicine
never cures. Half the people you
meet-wherever you are-can tell you
of cures that were made by it.

From the record made by Voluntary
Weather Observer Olapp, made dur
ing the past month it is learned that
2.l0 inches of rain fell, there were
eleven clear days, twelve partly cloudy,
and eight cloudy. The thermometer
got up to los on the 9th and 9Th, while
the lowest(temperature was So on the
4th. On that day the range OF temp
erature was 40 degrees, the maximum
being l04. III this section the hot
season commences in June and lasts
till the rains commence, which is gen.
orally early In July. This year the
really hot weather commenced on the
twenty.second Of June, when the Their
mometer registered a maximum Of 100
degrees. 1t registered 100 or
every day, excepting one, July 2, when
it only got to 80, until the eleventh Of
July. On the tenth of July it clouded
up and cooled off a little. On the
eleventh there we're rains in the vicln-
ity which tempered the air, and that
was the last day on which the Their
mometer reached 100. Since then the
weather has been very comfortable,
except for the occasional dampness,
and last Sunday it was positively
chilly at times the maximum reading
that day being So degrees, and the
minimum being So. The Lordsburgers
who left in june on account Of the
heat, are now safe in returning, for
there is no danger of excessive heat
again this summer. OF course this
advice does not apply to the people
who are having a good time, only to
the wives who are lonesome without

The LIBERAL recently told OF the
wonderful gold mine that Col. +. Ran-
dolph and some associates had discov-
cred down 10 Mexico, aud were ex-
plotting. The company has adopted
an entirely new scheme in promoting
the property. Generally the promo
tors sell the mine TO the company for
all Of its stock, and then put back into
the treasury from one-tenth to one
third Of the stock, which is offered to
the public at par or less. This money is
used to develop the property, and
build reduction works. When the
mine gets to paying the stockholders
may get a good thing on what they put
in, but it has to be good for them to
get their money back and interest on
IL, IL they put the money 10 as an in
vestment, aud do not intend to spe-
culate on the stock. The promoters
are on Easy street as soon as the prop
erty begins to pay, They are out only
the original investment Of the mine.
The price Of a mine is the most un-
certain thing in the world. 1t is
worth only what it can be sold for,
aud there is generallysuch a difference
between the cash price actually paid
aud the price the promoters get for
it in stock that the lrst dividend
squares the account, while it takes
many dividends TO square the accounts
Of the men who paid cash for the
stock. OF course the promoter, who
discovers a good thing aud puts it on
the market is entitled to a good thing,
but not all Of it, Col. Randolph and
his partners have invented a new
thing, in stock promotion, or more
properly speaking, mine promotion. 1t
was estimated that it would require
$3.50, 900 to build the necessary works
to care for the ore from this property
aRd put it on a producing basis. One
quarter Of the stock OF the company,
with a par value Of $1,000, 900 was set
aside for the purpose of producing a
working capital, and the following
proposition was made TO investors:
The company would take the inves-
tors money and give him the com-
paDy's note for the amount, payable in
afteen months, without interest.
When the note is paid the holder will
receive as a bonus, or interest for the
use of each dollar, four dollars, par
value, Of stock in the company, and
then he, as we'll the promoter, would
be on velvet. II the property proves
to be a failure the investor will lose
no more money than II 1t had been
promoted in the ordinary way, and II
it is a success he is in much better
shape. OF curse such a promotion
scheme could only work on a big gold
property, where the expenses for ma
chinery are comparatively small, and
where the returns are quick. On a
copper property, where it takes years
TO get It into a paying position it
would be impracticable. In this case
the allotment to the public was taken
up in a few days, and many people
only heard of it when it was too late
to get their money in.

The Salton sea has not yet been put
under control. 1t was thought that
the gates at the head Of the Imperial
canal were in shape to control the flow
of water, but the river washed a chan
mel alongside the gate, and soon was
sending down an immense amount Of
water. A heavy wind came up, and
the waves on the sea began washing
the Southern Pacific track out. For
several days the trains had a great
deal Of difficulty in crossing safely.
The companyhad a couple Of thousand
men at work in the valley, building a
shooly track around the lowest place.
The track is high enough so there will
be no danger from the sea for a long
time, even il it should keep increasing
as rapidly as it has for the past few
weeks. 1t is hoped that before the
water a get up to this new track
that the flow of water will be controll-
ed, and further danger passed. The
new line is some ten miles longer than
the old track, but the trains make
better time over it than over the soft
track.
