Foreign Bourses Irregular.

Reports are still current of the embar-
EASEMENT OF several Berlin houses, and 1t
Is we'll known by the Wall street bankers
with German correspondents that the Sc
curities market there is not all that 1t
should be in point of stability. In Paris
too. early irregularity was reported.
The announcement this morning that At
torney General Stead of Illinois had made
his report on the Chicago and Alton deal
created no particular stir in the street be-
cause 1t WAS noted that he had come to no
decision In the matter of a criminal prose-
cution of the men responsible for the al
legged iilegality of the transaction. and civil
suits have become matter of such COM
mon occurrence against railroads that the
sentimental effect of them in the stock
market is almost negli gible.
For want of better news fancifui story
was started that a cabine. officer is about
to retire from the administration. The
speedy denial that followed hard upon the
heels of the rumor was not needed to con-
vince traders that the story had been
made out of whole cloth. No other news
occurred TO disturb duh market.
From the opening until shortly after noon
the market was absolutely featureless. At
12:l5 O'Clock prices were lower than they
had been in the first two hours trading,
but in few minutes they advanced slight
ly from the figures to a level where they
averaged about point off the opening.
Union Pacific broke through 40. Balti-
more and Ohio touched par again and Steel
preferred again fell below that figure.
About the middle of the day sterling eX-
change was again advanced. bringing it up
to the highest rates both for demand and
long time that had been touched for many
weeks a circumstance due mainly to the
large supply OF cash in the London mar
ket The dullness in the local market was
more pronounced as TIE afternoon wore on

Breathe HyOnaea and Get Quick Relief.
 Cures All Bronchial Troubles.
 As usual thing a remedy that has immediate action contains powerful drugs that should be used sparingly. This is one of the reasons why the or dinary tablets that are sold for coughs and colds should not be taken by people with weak heart as they have a dangerous stimulating effect.
 When Hyomei, however. is breathed quick relief is obtained in natural way. Its healing medication goes right to the spot where the disease germs are present, at once soothing and healing the irritated mucous membrane. The action In this way is similar to spread ing a soothing salve upon burn.
 No other medicine for the cure of coughs, colds and bronchial troubles is as rational as Hyomei. Breathing 1t through the neat pocket inhaler which goes with every outfit. 1t can be used either in the nose or mouth, thus getting full medication Into the nasal passages or the throat and lungs as desired. It gives almost instant re- lief in all affections of the bronchial tubes, and is guaranteed to break up a cold in ten hours, This guarantee is given by one of the best known drug gists in Montgomery with every Hyomei outfit E. c. Fowler sells.
 A complete Hyomei outfit, consisting of a bottle of Hyomei, an inhaler that can be carried in the vest pocket or purse, and a medicine dropper. costs but one dollar, with guarantee that if 1t does not give satisfaction tho money will be refunded.
 Should extra bottles of Hyomei be needed they can be obtained for only soc; the inhaler lasts a lIfe- time. (O.

eve Never Know We Have a Stomach Unless Something is wrong With It."
 When you begin to realize that you have a stomach, it means that this organ is not in good condition. and 1t Is reminding you of the fact.
 Do not feel discouraged and miser- able because of the presence of indi- gestion. It is the best thing in the world for you if you can only see 1t and give the stomach proper treat ment.
 Change the weak stomach to a healthy one by using Mi-o-na stomach tablets This remedy is not a mere digestive, giving only temporary relief. but a combination of remedies that actually strengthen the stomach, excite the secretion of gastric juices and en- able the digestive organs to care for food you eat in a natural, normal way.
 By taking a Mi-o-na tablet before each meal you can enjoy a good dim ner without distress and suffering, and you will never know that you have q stomach.
 E. G. Fowler has sold good many k0c boxes of Mi-o-na stomach tablets, and the more the remedy Is used, the more friends 1t has, for every box gives satisfaction It Is sold under an abso- lute guarantee that the money will be refunded should Mi-3-na fail to give satisfaction. F. G. Fowler will take all the risk, and the remedy will cost you nothing unless 1t cures. CD

 The following is sample of many that have been helped through the Ar my Home. A couple of weeks ago, @ gentleman. possibly thirty years of age, and of fair culture, but sharply wealth CT beaten, came to the headquar- ters and related his circumstances. He said he was a working man and had always been fortunate enough to earn an honest livelihood until recently when bad health obliged him to give up his work. He came to Montgomery thinking he might be able to procure work at once, but being unable to work he became Respondent. He was refer red to the Salvation Army and told the captain he had a notion of going to the river and putting an end to his wretch edness if something was not done for him. He had had nothing to eat for three days. He was kept at the Home for week and provided for until he was unable to get a position. He is now doing well.
