FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
DULL AND HEAVY.
Loses of One or Two Points Frequent
 During the Day.

New York, June Differentiation in court Zt St. Paul of the Hartman dis solution plan was the one development of day which otherwise was feature less. The plan contained no surprises. Its essential features having been known for some time but the Harrf- man stocks slumped and the whole list sold off on the news from St. Paul. a1- though the market rose strongly on Saturday when it was announced that the plan had been agreed upon with the sanction of President Wilson. The explanation given by traders of the markets action was the character of the statement made by the attorney general concerning the plan. The at torney generals intimation that he favored prohibition of the ownership of stock of one railroad by another and his request that the court approve the dissolution proposal, subject to condi- tiOnS which would not exempt stock holders under the plan from becoming defendants in any future suit, were points used as a basis for selling stocks. Union Pacific responded more readily to pressure because of the ex- tent of Its rise on Saturday and the contraction, of the short interest on the rise, which apparently was due large ly to covering. Union Pacific and Southern Pacific both sold down three ponts.
 The decline in the Hartman stocks fitted with the general tendency of the market, which was dull and heavy. AL though there was an occasional rally, gains were not well held, and losses of one to two points were frequent

CERTAIN RESULTS
Many a Norwich Citizen Knows How
 Sure They Are.

Nothing uncertain about the work of Doan's Kidney Pills in Norwich. There is plenty of positive proof of this in the testimony of citizens Such evidence should convince the most skeptica1 doubter. Read the following statement:
 Mrs. Mary Neff. 465 Main Street. Norwich, Conn, says: For many years a member of my family was subject to attacks of kidney complaint. He suffered from pains across the 1oins and at times could scarcely get about on account of his back being so stiff and lame. The kidney secretions were irregular in passing and often con- tained sediment. Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at N. D. Sevin & Sons Drug Store. proved of benefit from the first and soon every symptom of kidney complaint disappeared"
 The above statement was given August 27, 1908, and several years later Mrs. Neff said: T willingly con- firm all I said in praise of Doan's s Kidney Pills in the testimonial given for publication in 1908. Nothing has occurred to change my high opinion of Doan's Kidney Pills"

LAJOlE AND WAGNER
 DROPPING FROM CAME?
Two Famous Players Leaving Regular
 LineuP-Honus Hitting for .329.

New York, June 29.-Recent develop ments have caused questionings among the fans as to whether the passing of two famous players, one in each of the major organizations, was not impend- ing. Manager Birmingham's announce ment that he intended taking Larry Lajoie out of the regular lineup and using him for pinch hitting service came as a surprise. and has aroused a commotion. Larry's injury has kept him from working in prime form for some time, but there are no signs that there is anything the matter with what is probably the keenest natural batting eye that ever looked over the horsehide as it sped platewards. Followers of the game are watching with not lit tie Solicitude the outcome of this Cleveland development, as they are one at Pitts6urg, where Wagner. whose name is a familiar one wherever base ball is known, has been for some un- explained reason out of the Pittsburg lineup recently. Wagner has hit for .329 so far this season by unofficial av- erages, but he also has been handi- capped by injury which may have slowed him down, although there was little in his work on most occasions to show that he was other than the Ho- nus of old.

The home team tied the score in this inning on Lobert's single Wiltse's wild throw and Lobert's steal home.
