PROTECT THEIR FRIENDS

& New York, Dec. IA rapid decline
in the stock of the Nippissing Mines
Company, a Cobalt company, from a
high point of 1879 a short time ago TO
1874 today, attracted much attention
and was without change until this af-
ternoon, when it was announced that
the Guggenheim Bros. had decided not
TO exercise an aoption held by them to
purchase 100000 shares of the com
panys stock at SIS per share. NO rea-
son is given ia the statement for the
decision, but Louis Marshall, coun-
sci for the Guggenheims. said it was
because there had not been sufficient
time TO examine the titles to the COM
pany's property.
The par value of the stock is s. per
share and the total issue is 1200, 600
shares. The stock had been traded in
very largely on the curb and has been
n leader in the speculation in mining
shares. When it became known that
The Guggenheims were considering the
stock as an investment there was a
rush on the Part of the public to buy
and the price advanced sharply. When
the decline set in there were rumors
that the Guggenheims might not eXer-
else their right to buy at %. The Off
cial statement by the Guggenneims
contains a notice to the subscribers to
their syndicate that they, the Guggen-
helms, will assume all losses and that
the subscribers will not lose a dollar.
The statement by the Guggenheims fol-
lows;
Guggenheims' Statement.
ION October 80 the Messrs. Guggen-
helms took an option from a number of
gentlemen for the purchase Of 10000
shares of the capital stock of the Nip
issing Mines company at S25 per share.
They offered a large portion of this
block for underwriting to their friends
at the contract price, receiving not a
collar for commissions or otherwise.
They also intended to keep large por-
ton of the stock for themselves. On
November I they paid S2.500,0 900 or &C
count of the purchase price. In making
this payment they reserved for them
selves and their subscribers 10000
shares of the stock, leaving in the
hands of the vendors .e0.090 shares of
the stock as a forfeit in the event that
they failed to make subsequent Uay-
ments.
THE second payment would have
been payable today if they had con-
Guided to proceed further with the bus
mess. They have now decided rot to
exercise their option with regard 10 the
purchase Of the remainder of this block
Of stock and have so notified the ven
doris. Concurrently with this notice
they have issued to their several sub
scribers the following circular letter:

500 Reward, 500

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure
in all stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure
now known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional disease,
requires a constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
direct upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system, thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The propretors have so much
faith in its curative powers that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for lists of
testimonials. Address F. j. Cheney &

A Great Fertilizer.

Elsewhere we print the advertise
ment Of the f. S. Royster Guano
Company and call the attention of
our readers to the same. The Roys-
ter fertilizer people are the largest of
the independent manufacturers re-
naming. These people have had a
most wonderful success in their sales.
"Farmers' Bone" is their leading
brand of cotton fertilizer, and we are
told that its sale exceeds that of any
other single brand of fertilizer sold
in the South. Owing to the fact
that they use fish for ammoniates,
their goods are popular everywhere
they are sold. They claim theirs to
be the original fish guano. They
have large works at Norfolk, Va.
Tarboro, N. c., two factories in
South Carolina, and one at Macon,
Ca, and their goods are on sale in
nearly every town in the South
where fertilizers are used. Our read
ers will find it to their interest to
consider Royster fertilizer before
making their purchases.

G. f. Schultz, highly respected
farmer of Chester county, living on
the York road, about five miles above
the town of Chester, was the victim
of peculiar and very serious acci-
dent last Sunday morning. Noticing
hog in his front yard he attempted
to drive it back into the lot, and
while following it through cotton
patch, he slippled, lost his foothold
completely and fell on sharp cotton
stalk. The sharp end pierced his
eyeball and drove itself far into the
brain. The physicians pronounce
the injury very serious one that
will likely prove fatal.
