DOUBT CANNOT EXIST
Investigation Will only Strengthen the
Proof We Give in Laramie.

How "a doubt exist in the face OF
such evidence? Read here the endorse
ment of a representative citizen of
Laramie.
Jacob Weber, employed at the Lara
nile Iron and Steel works, 164 West
Clark street, Laramie, Wyo., says:
Some twelve Or fourteen years ago
| strained my back and for a number
of days was laid off from work ana
finally was obliged to give it up en-
tirely. Last spring l returned to it
and one day a sharp catch took
in the loins and for a few minutes
| could not move. The pain over my
kidneys became continual and |
thought | would have to lay off. A
Eeighbor told me about Doan's Kidney
Pills and advised me to try them, l
had my son get a box at the Laramie
Drug company's store. In two or
three days L could notice a decided ben
eft and l kept on with their use until
| had used two boxes and by that time,
| did not have a sign of backache and
the kidney secretions which had been
highly colored, heavy and scalding
were restored to a natural and normal
condition. Many of my fellow work
men can attest for the personal men
ton l have made of Doan's Kidney
Pills and how strong my opinion of
them has been"

We have used Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy in our home for seven years,
and 1t has always proved to be a re-

would do more than the manufacturers
claim for it. 1t is especially good for

candidate for United states marshal
Mr.. c. w. Garbutt of Sheridan county.
Mr.. Garbutt is a gentleman of high re-

officer. He has, however, two doughty
warriors to contend against, Mr., Frank
Hadsell. who has made good in the of.

Negotiations of French Loan Bills In

TO Discriminate Against
American Bills.

NEW YORK, Nov. s.-The stock market
was weak for an hour and then strong for
an hour today and closed firm al the re-
oOveryN Reading absorbed large share Of
the market and was the only stock to move
either way with any vigOr The early sell
ing Of this stock was plainly due to large
extent 10 the taking OF pro1ts In yester-
days business. The whole market was af-
tected by sympathy. There was some pro-
fessionai selling, also caused by fears OF a
weak bank statement, owing 10 the week
large Indicated outgo Of cash and the prob
ability that credit accounts had also been
extended during the week.
The bank statement verified the most ub-
eral estimates of the loss Of cash during
the week, the decrease In that time rising
to 1a2OOO. But whatever increase o.
credits may have been made In New YORK
during the week, IL was again kept out OF
the bank statement, which showed a loan
decrease OF S9,542S0O. The assumption that
known needs Of the November money set
Elements and the process of transferring
loans from the London market 10 the New
York market which has been going on dur
ing the week. There Is nothing to show
what was the source of the relief for the
banks from the increased loan require
ments IL is assumed that the trust COM
panies and private banking houses took
their share Of the burden. In addition to
this II is known that French loan bills have
been negotiated In this market during the
week. Gables from Paris report good
deal OF dissatisfaction there with this de-
velopment and discrimination by the Bank
of France against American finance bills in
an effort TO check It. But with the money
rate in Paris but slightly above per cent,
the attraction OF the profitable rate for time
loans hare apparently proves stronger than
the obstacles offered by the central bank
ing institution. 1t is this condition which
has given rise to rumOrs Of an intended
advance in the Bank Of France discount
rate.
Bonds have been dull and irregular; total
sale, par value d,16l, 900. United States

The chiIdless Rich.

From Success.
 Andrew Carnegie has no son and only one daughter. so his hundreds of mil lions will start no line of Carnegie kings. Russell Sage has neither son nor daugh- ter and his fortune will be scattered among strangers. Leland Stanford had only one son and he died c. P Hunt ington had no children. Frederick Van derbilt has no children. Perry Belmont has no children. And three of the young CT Rockefellers, although married for ten years or more have no children. So we might go on through the list of mill llonaires and while we should meet with some exceptions, like William H. Van derbilt, with eight children; George Gould with six. and J. P. Morgan with four, we should quickly establish the fact that the average number of chill dren In our very rich American families Is far below the general average; in- stead of approaching four 1t would prob ably not reach two. And have 1t on the authority of Dr. Guilfoy, registrar of vital statistics in New York, that the Fifth avenue residence Nsection, where our multimillonaires live. show by far the lowest birth rate of any other section in the city. I may add that doctor Of great authority on this subject assures me that as riches increase not only IS there a rapidly diminishing number Of births but there is an increasing number of crimes against birth. Probably this is a new, and it may be passing con dition, for we are told that seventy-hve years ago rich New Workers were accus- toned to have large families. Thus we read in New Workers of the Nineteenth Century" that Col. Nicholas Fish and Elizabeth Stuyvesant had five children and ffty-nine eat-grandchildren; that Col. William Duers and Catherine Alexan- der had eight children and one hundred great-grandchildren etc. Which shows how things have changed since then in the fashionable set.
