Common Colds are the Cause of Many
Sc, i0us Diseases.

Physicians who have gained nat
ional reputation as analysts of the
cause of various diseases, claim that
il catching cold could be avoided, a
long list of dangerous ailments would
never be heard of. Everyone knows
that pneumonia and consumption ORR
ginate from a cold, and chronic
catarrh, bronchitis, and all throat and
lung trouble are aggravated and rend-
cred more serious by each fresh attack.
Do not risk your life or take chances
when you have a cold. Chamberlain
Cough Remedy will cure it before
these diseases develop. This remedy
contains no opium, morphine or other
harmful drug aud has thirty years OF
reputation back of it, gained by its
cure under every condition. For

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, Nov. 5.-Early prices from
London were quoted fractionally higher
for American rails although there was
very few foreign buying orders &C
companying the higher quotations.
After the over-Sunday orders to buy
stocks in this morning were executed,
the market lapsed into stagnation and
extreme dullness was the order of the
day. A fair idea of the volume of bust
ness transacted may be had from the
fact that the sales up to the noon hour
We're scarcely 100000 shares. Without
any exaggeration whatever, it is safe to
say almost one-third of this amount
was confined to three or four stocks.
Reading probably was the largest in
dividual stock traded in and the tone
of this issue was exceptionally strong
1t opened one and one-half points high
er than Saturdays closing price and
then started upward scoring a further
advance of point, selling at 14S% from
close Saturday at 146. There is more
or less manipulation in this stock and
the buying power is credited at all
times to one of the largest stockhold-
ers in Reading who has been a con-
spicuous bull on the property for the
past two years. He invariably comes
to the support of this security whenever
the market becomes too panicky.
In the other higher priced rails,
fractional gains were apparent all
through the list. st. Paul, Union Pa
| cific, Southern Pacific, Atchison Mis-
souri, Pacific and Baltimore & Ohio all
had firm undertone. Union Pacific
scored an advance of a point over Sat
urdays close. The buying was pre-
sumably for the Hartman interests.
The all absorbing topic in Wall street
is the forth coming election and brokers
as rule are paying more attention to
wagers of one kind and another than
| they are to the stock market, as a re-
sult stocks remained neglected.
The market closed S@st as it opened
dull and steady without any particular
| feature.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1906.
NOW COMES THE VOTING.

Hammond and the whole Of Lake
county is busy today selecting the
members who are to represent them in
congress, in the state legislature, and
who are to conduct for them the grow
ing business of managing the county
General apathy is getting in some
good work for both Of the principal
parties, but there is considerable in
terest in the campaign at this late
hour an das there may be some sur
prises sprung when the vote is counted.
The campaign has been clean one
from start to finish, and the candidates
running strictly on their merits. Be
ing an off year there is considerable
talk about scratching the tickets and
the men who are elected will hold their
Office, not by the grace Of any politi-
cal party, but by the grace of the in
dependent voter.
The growing tendency to ignore
party lines and vote for the man was
never more pronounced as now and
there will doubtless be many ballots
wasted by voters who are not careful
in preparing their ballots.
The weather promises to be pleasant
and this will probably mean that there
will be a large vote. In fact. there
may be some surprises in store for
the politicians in the way of a large
increase in the voters Of the county
TO correspond with the large increase
in population the county has had in
the past two years.
The entire interest in the campaign
is confined to the election of sheriff
and representative in congress. The
democratic party is concentrating its
strength to elect a democratic sheriff.
and the republican party has accepted
the challenge.
There seems to be no question of
the election Of Mr.. Crumpacker to sue
coed himself in congress, but Mr..
Gompers' efforts to secure the opposi-
ton of the labor element in Hammond
and Michigan City, may reduce his
pluralities.

CHICAGO LETTER.

Chicago, Nov. -WHEAT-Liquida-
tions on a rather large scale in wheat
was the feature of the session, although
the news in a measure was somewhat
in favor of the bull operators. De-
cember opened around 741s and on lib
eral offerings by holders and short SELL
ing declined Is of cent for the day
The cash situation both in the North
and Southwest is reported less strained
than last week also the demand has
slackened materially. Receipts in the
Southwest are larger than a year ago.
Quite a little selling emanated from
that quarter against cash arrivals.
Foreign markets were only one-eighth
different from Saturdays close and was
of little consequence as market factor.
The market closed steady with a weak
undertone.
CORN-Dull and lower. Fine wealth
er throughout the corn belt; lack OF
cash demand and a break of one cent
a bushel for the new corn and one
half cent for the old were the bearish
features, Commission houses were ar
rayed on the buying side Of the market
although they met with quite liberal
selling from elevator interests who
have been buying old and new corn
from their country clients. The mar
ket closed steady, trife lower than
Saturday.
OATS-Again this cereal had the best
tone Of any OF the grain markets

Two Auburn young ladies have not

"Oh, did you ever see anything so
funny" exclaimed one to her CON-
panion, as they rode past big farm.
Il should think the crows would be
scared anyway by that thing. That
scarcecrow is good imitation Of
human being, but, Obi it is so stiff
and angular, and did you ever see
such outlandish clothes! That skirt
is skinny enough, must say, and

waist, but, Oh! We gods and little

objected seriously to being urged so
rapidly over the ground.-Lewiston

TEST FOR SPURIOUS COINS.
simF!c Method Disclosed by a Juror
During a Trial.

At this session of the central Grim
inal court there has been an excep-
tional number of charges of making
and uttering counterfeit coin, says the
London Tribune. At the conclusion
of one of the cases the foreman Of the
jury asked the authorities if they
would take a suggestion from IL bust
ness men who during the year had
to deal with considerable sums in sill
yer coin
There was a most simple test for
the detection of base coin 1t was to
cut the milled edge of a good coin
sharply against the m1lled edge of the
suspected coin. If the suspected coin
were a spurious one the metal would
almost Immediately Begin to shave
of. It was, he added, a test that
could be carried out anywhere, on the
top of a bus or in a shop, and the
public ought to be acquainted with 1t.
After making a personal test the
common sergeant said he quite agreed
with the suggestion of the jury as TO
the usefulness of the test and said II
ought to be made known.

GOLD AND THE SEA.

when the banks ship gold across
the Atlantic" said banker, they pre-
fer to ship it in bars rather than ia
coin. 1t loses less that way"
II loses less?"
Yes, sir. If 100000 in gold coin is
shipped across the sea it is only $685.
500 on its arrival 1t loses from twelve
to fifteen ounces, through abrasion.
through knocking about with the mo-
ton of the waves. The sea makes gold
lose weight. you see, the same as it
does human beings.
cold bars lose less. In fine weather
they don't lose over $3.50, whereas in
like conditions gold coins have been
known to lose $500
LAS gold shipments of $4,000, goo
often occur. to make these shipments
in gold bars instead Of gold coin is a
saving of $1,000 or more.
1T is odd to think when you cross in
one Of these gold-laden ships that every
wave that hits the boat clips of ten to
fifteen cents from its golden cargo"
