THE HAMBURG FAILURE.
Charged in Part to Fall In American
Copper Shares.

| HAMBURG. October 1.-THE liabilities
of Haller, Soehle & Co.. bankers, whose
| failure was announced today, are esti-
mated at from 100000 to 30 OOO. 600
marks (from 100000 to $1,000. .0O0).
The failure was due, in part, to the fall
| in American copper shares but the bank
also had great speculative investments
| In real estate companies and Industrial
| concerns, in which it embarked heavily
after the death some years ago OF tho
senior partner.
The present members Of the firm are
Oscar Leubbers and ]. c. Soehle. Repre-
sentatives Of various financia houses have
been discussing means for collective sup
port Of Haller. Soehle & Co, without.
however thus far reaching any conclu-
sion.
Herr Leubbers is chairman OF the board
of directors of the Hypotheken Bank the
Vereins Bank and the Warren -Kredit-An-
stalt. all of Hamburg, and Herr Soehle Is
a member of the Sprengstoff- -Fa brik-Car-
bonit (carbonite explosives factory.
The firm of Haller Soehle Co was
founded in $780, and has until the past
few months enjoyed the highest credit.
its bills being accepted at l per cent. 1t
had been borrowing enormous sums on
acceptances during recent weeks. both in
Germany and abroad. and a few days ago
sold $125. 0oO of acceptance at " per cent
above the market rate.
The announcement of the difficulties OF
Otto Heinze & Co. of New York was fol-
lowed within few hours by the report
of the suspension of Challer. SoehIe &
Co.. and caused intense excitement on the
bourse, as it was feared that the wide
spread connections of the Hamburg firm
would bring down other houses. but vari-
Gus banks speedily announced the amount
of their losse1. which were comparatively
small and adequately secured. so that 1t
is believed that no other bank will be
seriously embarrassed
The estimates of the liabilities of the
firm vary widely The best-informed
persons fix the amount of the accept
ances out at between $1,000. 900 and 3d.
100000. while the total Indebtedness of
the concern probably will amount to q
considerably larger sum.

ACTUALLY CURES CATARRH
Dodson Drug Cos Faith In Hyomei 10
So Srone They Sell It Under
Guaratee.

1t is one thing to claim, another thing
to back up the claim by a statement
that if 1t is not proven true, there will
be no charge for the service or the
goods.
1t is in this way that Dodson Drug Co.
sell Hyomei, for they have so much
faith in its powers to cure all forms of
catarrh and bronchial troubles, that
they give an absolute, unqualified guar
antee with every outfit that if the rem
edy does not cure, the money will be re-
funded.
Hyomei is based on natures way of
curing catarrh. 1t contains the concen-
trated healing oils and gums of the pine
woods, prepared in such form that they
can be brought into your own home.
1t gives the health advantages of the
Adirondacks in such form that you can
be cured of catarrh and affections of the
nose, throat and lungs while at home or
at work.
A complete Hyomei outfit costs but
81, and extra bottles, ifneeded; may be
obtained for soc. GQa ~a
With Hyomei you can cure catarrh
pleasantly and easily at small expense,
with no risk of the treatment costing a
penny unless it cures.

SIN a cage near the room in which ]
lived while in Khiva,' says Langdon
Warner in the Century Magazine,
"was q tiger from the Oxus swamps.
He had taken a dislike to me, and
every time l passed his cage he got
up and paced angrily toward me,
snarling.
Into the cage of this beast, at the
command of the prince, Turkoman
stepped. armed with short stick as
big round as his wrist With this
stick he struck the tigers nose as he
made for him, and then, with palms
out and eyes fixed. he walked slowly
up to the shrinking beast and stroked
his face and flank
1.-The tiger snarled and took the
mans hand in his open mouth. held
my breath and looked for the bleed
ing stump to fall away; but, keeping
that hand perfectly still, with the
other he tickled the tigers jowl and
scratched his ear till with yawn and
pleased snarl the big eat rolled
over on his back to have his belly
| scratched.
THE man then sank to hisseknees
always keeping his hands in motion
over the glossy fur, and with his foot
drew toward him a collar attached to
chain This he snapped round the
beasts neck and. rising to his feet,
| laid hold OF the chain and dragged the
tiger out.
"This was only the second time that
the cage had been entered. AS soon
as the tiger was outside he espied the
| watching party and started for them,
but came up short on the collar. If he
had chosen to use his weight and
strength no four of them could have
held his tether but as it was the
Turkoman found little difficulty with
him and held him, snarling, while a

VIEWS OF ABLE men
ON WORK OF ORDE. R
Bishop Gambler and Various
Others.
rALkueoNTHE Y. NJ. c. =. WORK
Oyer $4,000 Raised by the Ameri-
Gus Committee acknowledgements
son With Waycross BUILDING Work
May Begin Shortly.

While the generous people of Ameri-
Gus are taking so much interest in the
movement to build a Young Mems
Christian Association it might be wei
to consider the opinion of some who
have studied this institution from ar
unbiased view point. The outlook
says, editorially:
Comparatively few people in this
country are aware of the magnitude
and Importance of the religious forces
directed by the Young Mems Christian
Association.
They do not know unless they hap
! pened to have relations with these AS
sociatlons the vitality of their methods,
the increasing skill with which they
are using their instruments, and the
growing need of their work, -
Among all the forces which are today
at work in American society to build
the nation soundIy and solidlY on i'm
movable foundations, there is perhaps
no force greater than that of the Young
Mems Christian Association.
Bishop Warren A. Gambler, discuss
ing the subject, says:
81 have found the Y. NJ. G, A. OF
greatest value in communities where
there are many young mel without
homes, living in hotels and boarding
houses. 1t makes a social centre for
them under religious influences which
does much to supply the absent home
Influences
Ex-G Governor w. j. Northen thus
expresses his views:
''The demand of the time is the sal
any single force doing better service in
this splendid endeavor than the Young
Mems Christian Associa ton. Christian
young men are the needs of the times.
President Theodore Roosevelt re-
marked: L appreciate enormously the
work the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation is doing. 1t is one of the great
potent forces which must be continual
ly built up to overcome the forces OF
evil"
Where ever the cost of Y. M. C. A.
buildings have been carefully looked
into it is generally conceded that the
cost of building thoroughly equipped
for town of 10000 population is about
$40, 900.
But it is self evident that the better
the building is equipped and the more
it costs to put it up, Just in the same
proportion will the expense of running
the building be decreased as the in
come from membership and dormitor-
les will be increased.
Up to the present time $50, 182 has
been pledged though many have not
yet subscribed. Let every patriotic
citizen contribute literally so that
Americas can have Y. M, G.. A.
building thoroughly equipped.
Mr.. Lemly, the local Y. M. G. A.
secretary, recently received letter
from the Y. M. g. A. secretary at
Waycross, which says concerning the
Association movement there:
1.-THE contract for the building has
been let. With what we have spent on
the foundation and basement the build
ing will cost US at least calculation
$4,000, exclusive of the furnishings.
Adding the cost of the lot we must
have not less than $55 ,OO0."
But Americas has one point on Way
cross. Our lot cost about $4,000 less
than the lot in Waycross.
