STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Aggressive Speculative Element Lifts

The aggressive speculation leadership

again to-day and prices were lifted

market resulting from Yesterdays re-
action became manifest. The hesita-
ton In the upward movement yester-
day had resulted in a large extension
of the short interest as the professional
element had been distrustful of the ad-
vance from the outset and promptly
put out fresh short lines. These I'M
covered shorts made potential de-
mand for stocks on the advance which

barked in concerted bull movement

After the fire had swept that place
this year it was the prediction of
the Free Press that while the loss
was considerable and would be felt
by the good people OF the leading
city Of the Prairie, the spirit of
the people was such that from the
ashes would arise a better and
greater Cotton wood. Our predic-
tlon has come true as a visit to
that town today will show more
and better business houses at the
present than before the fire. Many
brick buildings have been put up
and more are in the course of con
struction. Business is excellent
and all of her citizens are most
loyal. Cottonwood will make a
city and there is no use DENYING
the fact for fact it is. Besides its
ideal location it has a population
OF people of push and energy.
Watch Cottonwood reach the two
thousand mark in another year.

Why Colds are Dangerous

Because you have contracted
ordinary colds and recovered from
them without treatment Of any
kind, do not for a moment
imagine that colds are not danger
Gus. Every one knows that pneu.
monia and chronic catarrh have
their origin in a common cold.
Consumption is not caused by q
cold but the cold prepares the
system for the reception and de-
velopment of the germs that
would not otherwise have found
lodgment. 1t is the same with all
infectious diseases. Diphtheria,
scarlet fever, measles and hopping
cough are much more likely to be
contracted when the child has a
cold. You will see from this
that more real danger turks in a
cold than in any other OF the COM
mon ailments. The easiest and
quickest way to cure cold is to
