Viteai and the rising movement Of val
ues in the morning and the recession
taat followed in the afternoon consti-
tuted the history Of the stock exchange
day.
During the earlier hours rumor made
some headway that at the meeting Of the
directors OF the Southern Pacife Com

No such action has heretofore been ex-
pected At this time. but the idea that
II was likely induced a rise Of nearly
two points IN Southern Pacific stock.
Decline Started.
With the prompt official contradiction
Of The story, Southern Pacific stock
sharply declined. and this was the signal
for the decline in the general market
OF additional explanations for the fall
in the market found them first in sup
posed Vague Impressions" in specula-
tive circles that liquidation Of stocks for

Rogers Not Interested.
He was not interested directly or indi-
rectl- in a speculative way In the stock
market AZ the time OF his death. and
had not been for nearly two years past.
Il is probable, however, that there was e
certain amount Of liquidation today IN

dust from the weeds. At night I
cleansed my limbs but felt prickly
sensation. l paid no attention to it
for two years but l noticed a scum
on my legs like fish scales. did not
attend to it until it came to be too
Itchy and sore and began getting two
running sores. My ankles were all
sore and scabby and l could not wear
shoes. l had TO use carpet and felt
slippers for weeks. l got a cake of

DIDN'T REALIZE
How Injurious Coffee Really Was.


Many persons go on drinking coffee
year after year without realizing that
it is the cause of many obscure but
persistent ailments.
The drug -caffeine-in coffee and
tea, is very like uric acid and is often
the cause of rheumatic attacks which,
when coffee is used habitually, become
chronic.
A Washington lady said, recently:
Il am siXty-five and have had a good
deal of experience with coffee. l con
slider it very injurious and the cause
of many diseases. am sure it causes
decay of teeth in children.
when | drank coffee | had sick
spells and still did not realize that
coffee could be so harmful, till about
Il year ago l had rheumatism in my
arms and fingers, got so nervous
could not sleep, and was all run down.
AT last. after finding that medicines
did me no good, | decided to quit cof-
fee entirely and try Postum. After
using it six months | fully recovered
my health beyond all expectations, can
sleep sound and my rheumatism is all
gone" There's a Reason"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek. Mich. Read the famous little
book. The Road to Wellville," in pkgs.
Ever read the above letter: A new
one appears from time 10 time. They
nre genuine, true, and full of human
Interest.

riods, when the heavens are lighted
with the glowing flames and fire from
it's crater the Mexicans here sit at
their open windows and doors and
lounge upon the benches in the pretty
plaza and view the grand spectacle
in silent wonder.
"Is it not grand" they comment
one to another
To the natives the eruption does not
portend their possible destruction
But they fear the earth tremblings
which frequently accompany the erup-
tions. An earthquake in Tuxpan, such
as has been occurring at frequent in
tervals since the volcano showed re-
newed signs of activity, quickly brings
the whole populace into the streets.
1t is said by scientists that these seis-
mic disturbances are wholly local In
character and are directly connected
with the eruption of the volcano.
Mount Colima is the only active vol
cano upon the North American conti-

up TO the eruption of 1903, when its
top was torn off and the height of the
mountain considerably reduced.

of making Il close investigation of its
crater during the more passive pc

time on account of the deep barrancas
that must be crossed
