Women Suffer Agonies
from Diseased Kidneys
And Most Women Do This Not Knowing the
Real Cause of their Condition

These poor, suffering women
have been led TO believe that their
misery OF mind and body Is entire
" due to "ills OF their sex" Usually
the kidneys and bladder are re-
sponsible-or largely so. And in
such cases, the kidneys and blad-
der are the organs. that need and
must have attention.
Those torturing. enervating sick
headaches, dragging pains in back,
groin and limbs, bloating and swell
ing Of the extremities, extreme
nervousness or hysteria. listless-
ness and constant tired, WORKOUT
feeling-are almost certain symp-
toms OF disordered and diseased
kidneys, bladder and liver.
DeWitt's Kidney and Bladder
Pills have. In thousands Of cases,
been demonstrated as remarkably
beneficial In all such conditions Of
female organism-afording the
most prompt relief and permanent
benefit.
As an illustration Of what these
Pills win do, Mrs. P. NJ. Bray Of
Columbus. Ga, writes that she was
very III with kidney trouble. and
that she Is now well-and that
these Pills are what cured her.

The Markets
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings In All
The Leading Stocks.

New York. July 28-The further mate
rial recuperation of stock market values
today followed the disclosure in addl-
tional detail of the arrangements by
which heavy blocks of securities which
had been hanging over the market had
been taken over by powerful banking
syndicates. thus saving the necessity of
further sacrifice of values in a ruthless
sale in the open market with no demand
sufficient to absorb the offerings.
Attention was focused on the operation
up by Kuhn, Loeb e Co. and foreign as
soCiates. The circumstantial and au-
thentic reports on this transaction gave
it a major interest but there were con-
lectures of other similar settlements. eS-
pecially one growing out of a project of
railroad amalgamation as ambitious al
most in scope the one oVertaken by the
transfer admitted The effect of these
the market was electrical. The relief
from threatened liquidation of dislodged
holdings was enough in itself to change
the complexion of the outlook.
The sudden adjustment of so dangerous
a situation left a very large short inter
est uncovered in the market which had
counted on continuance of forced
liquidation to depress prices to still
lower level The bear party were large
and urgent buyers in all departments of
the market and their necessities made it
easy for their opponents to bid prices up
on them rapidly.
1t was assumed that the settlements
which had been effected would include
the placing of substantial amounts of Sc
curities with foreign holders Some large
blocks of very high grade stocks We're
believed to have passed in the process
of protection and adjustment. part of
which were designed for foreign invest
ors. The buying in the open market also
included substantial proportion of or
ders for foreign account The low level
to which prices had been forced proved
attractive to investors when the fact be-
came known of the clearing of the situa-
ton.
The currents of the money movement
continue to move towards the strength
ening of New York bank reserves. in
spite of some offseting movements A
shipment of half million dollars in gold
today to Canada makes total of d mil
lion for that destination this week
The corn crop advices were more favor
able today and the poor cotton reports
were disregarded TheA reports of restric-
ton of copper production took more con
crete form with the authority for them

dent of the Amalgamated Copper Co.

DO HIGH PRICES PAY?
Is Question Being Asked All Over The
Baseball Circuit.

Not since the big four Richardson
Brouthers, Rowe and White were pur-
chased from the Buffalo Club by De
troit in 1886 for $4,000 has there been
such a sensation as that caused by the
reported recent purchase OF Lefty
Russell for $4,000 by Connie Mack
from the Baltimore club. 1t sounded
like the fall of Babylon when it was
announced that Connie had bought a
pitcher for that price who has never
shown in the big league
In 1887. when Mike Kelly was pur-
chased by the Boston club from Chi
cago for 100000 and then when Clark
son was purchased year later for the
same amount the baseball fans of
New England just went dippy. Presi
dent Soden of the Boston Club thought
so much of the deal that the cancelled
checks we're framed and hung over the
desk in his office.
Ten thousand dollars for single
ball player was the high water mark
until the New York National League
club paid $1,000 for RUDE Marquard
who was purchased from the Indian
apolis Club
Do these high prices affect the
player who is purchased for the
amount as he goes in to pitch his first
game in fast company?
This is the question asked all over
the baseball circuit. The White Sox
turned over $500 for Blackburn. and
so far he has been a disappointment.
So far, Rube Marouard has not been
much for the Giants.
