Heavy Tendency Follows Eff

BUYING POWER NOT GREAT
advances Seen In Union Pacific.

Declines in the Afternoon Bring
the Closing Prices Generally n
Little Below Final Quotations.

New York. Dec. 16-There was ut
terry no change to-day in the char
acteristics of the stock market. as
these were steadily exhibited through
out the week. The market was most OF
the day lifeless. but with generally
heavier tendency prevoiling. and although
at the close several of the active stocks.
principally in the railway list, were at
prices unchanged from those of Saturday.
and others even showed Slight gains. the
greater number were at small declines.
In The forepart Of the day the market
vas fairly strong, advances running from
one to Two points in stocks like the
Union Pacific, Reading, and Great North
ern shares, but the rise seemed TO bring
out fresh selling orders, and the gains
that had been made were lost by mid
day. In the afternoon a further selling
wave of moderate proportions broke out
over the market. although declines thus
established were recovered in greater or
less degree before the end Of business
hours.

COMMENT ON MARKET.

G. Bowie Chipman, OF r. r. Chapman
& Co.-''The industrials were weaker than
the railways. Several OF this class OF
issues broke quite badly. particularly Dis
tillers' Securities, Copper. and Smelters.
The greater part Of to-days totals was
recorded during the first two hours. and
a very large percentage OF the dealings
represented operations OF room traders.
This is about the class Of market
which I expect for some little time, and
while il may be that higher prices viii
be caused before the end OF the month Il
does not seem that IL is time for that
advance 10 start. I think, therefore. that
on proper rallies for medium profits stock
should be sold"

Sugar Refining IL Strong.
a notably strong stock to-day was, on

Possibly the apathy OF speculative sentl-

that call money rates ruled a little hrmer

broader market" There were also

be said that current judgment as 10 the

CATARRH IS DURABLE.
SuccessfuI Experiments in Abating
 and Curing This Disease.

Catarrh is an entirely unnecessary disease and should not be tolerated for single day now that Hyomei Is so generally known and has made so many cures in Montgomery and other towns.
 Until comparatively recent times ca tarrh was thought to be a blood dis ease and stomach dosing the only treatment. Modern science finally disproved this idea of the cause of catarrh. and found that 1t was a germ disease and. after many experiments. the remedy was decided to be Hyomei. Hyomei medicates the air you breathe; it kills the catarrhal germs; if heals the smarting and raw mem branes of the passages in the nose and throat; it cures all catarrhal troubles. As there is life and health in the air in the mountain-tops where the pine forests give off their fragrant and healing balsams. so there is life and health in breathing Hyomei There is no need of suffering from catarrh if tho simple and natural treatment of Hyomei is used
 So sure is this prescription to cure even the worse cases of catarrh, that E. G. Fowler sells it under an abso- lute guarantee to refund the money if it does not do all that is claimed for it.

 SNUFFS OUT
 HER OWN LIFE Mrs. A. N. Dobbs Com
 mits Suicide. ANGRY WITH HER HUSBAND Pensacola Woman Shoots Herself
 in Breast. Reproached Her spouse for Coming Home Late and Ended Existence
 when He Threatened to

Pensacola, Fla, Sept 14.-(Special) )- After being married for two months, Mrs. A. N. pobbs this morning sui cided at her home at the corner of Bel mont and Spring Streets, by sending a bullet into her lungs.
 The cause was disagreement with her husband, who did not return to his home until late hour, and when he announced that unless she ceased quarreling he would leave the follow ing morning for his home in Meridian, Miss, she secured revolver and pressing it against her right breast fired. Death came almost instantan- eously.
 Mir. Dobbs was in an adjoining room and did not see the act but hearing the report he rushed into the room, where he found his wife partly disrobed lying upon the floor. When other members of the family reached the room they found Mrs. Dobbs dying in the arms of her husband. She never spoke, but from statements made by her husband to the coroner the rash act was com mitted at time when she was despon- dent because her husband had gone on a fishing trip in the afternoon, when she did not know his whereabouts and did not return home until a late hour at night. When she upbraided him for being out SO late he replied that he would spend the night in an adjoining room, and when she continued he said he would leave that morning for Me- ridian. She then reached for revol- ver and shot herself.
 She was formerly Miss Ella Rehfield. and was employed as a stenographer before her marriage in the law office of Avery and Avery. She married MT. Dobbs, whose home is in Meridian. Miss, in New Orleans last July, and the marriage was announced here about two weeks ago.

ENROLL MENT so FAR EXCEEDS
 THAT OF LAST YEAR.
The Dormitories Are Overflowing And It Has Been Decided To Erect $ Temporary Rooms On

University. Sept. 14-(Speciai. )-The opening of the seyenty-seventh ses- sion of the University of Alabama has been the most auspicoaus in the his- tory of the institution. The total l. number registered to date Is $40, or thirty more than were registered dur ing the entire session last year. At the same date last year. there were only 275 registrations. The same rate of increase should give an attendance this session of 400 students.
 Not only is the enrolment larger than usual. but in general appearance, preparation and behavior of the stu dents at the University are far above the average. The largest representa- tion from any one section comes from Birmingham, which city have an even half hundred to it's credit The rep resentative from Jefferson county will probably reach the seventy-five mark. Montgomery and Mobile are tied. with fifteen students each. This, of course, does not include the students living in the two counties mentioned, but out side of town.
 The first football practice for the 1907 season took place Monday after noon. Between thirty and forty can didates were out in uniform, and while there was a noticeable absence of large men, there was no absence of
 
 Pollard will have the benfit of as- sigtance from Burks. the well known Alabama star who lives in Tuscaloosa, and also from Pritchard, member of last years Vanderbilt team, who is a student in the law department.
 The session just beginning will be remembered for several reasons, among them being the fact that no less than six new instructors have been added to the faculty. These new men are Elmer J. McCaustland. Professor of Minir& and Engineering, formerly As- sociate Professor of Mining and Engl- neering at Cornell University, N. Y.; Frederick D. Losey, Professor of Rhet- oric and Public Speaking, who comes from the University of Nebraska; Will liam Salant, Professor of Pharmacol- ogy, formerly Adjunct Professor at Columbia University, N. .Y.; T. R. Dick a graduate of the United States Mil- itary Academy, West Point, N. Y., Pro- lessor of Mechanical Engineering; James T. Rood, graduate of Wor- cester Polytechnic and Clark Univer- sity. Professor of Electrical Engineer ing and Physics, and F. G. Stickney, a graduate of the University of Ala bama and Harvard, Instructor of Eng lish All of these men have had, in addition to their excellent training, considerable experience in teaching, and come to the University with the highest recommendations
 On account of the crowded condition of the dormitories, it has been decided to erect twenty-four temporary rooms on the campus. With this addition to the living quarters of the students 1t will not be necessary to turn away any boys on actount of lack of accom- T
