WEAKNESS OF LIST SHADES ALL PRICES

z New York, April 11-Opening-A slightly lower lever was established at the opening of the stock market to- day. Only a. small amount of orders had come in over the holiday and, although there was no pressure of stocks. the support was too weak to prevent recessions when light offerings were made.
 The only active trading was fin steel which sold off sharply on it's monthly report, showing a. large shrinkage in untitled tonnage. It opened with a block of 5000 shares at 61 1-2 to 1-4. Oil stocks were again weak. Mexican Petroleum lost 1 and Californian 3-4. Rume1y pfd. rose 1 3-4.
 Close-The market closed weak. Weakness of demand for stocks caus- ed shading off of prices today. The influence of the poor showing of l trade conditions in the steel corpor- ation's tonnage figures was felt | throughout the list with most effect on the stocks of steel companies and related concerns

A few of the specia1ties broke severely but comparatively few of the representa- tive shares sagged as much as a point.

JOHN l.. DREW THE COLOR
 LINE 22 YEARS AGO TO-DAY

When the heavyweight championship of the world returns to the possession of the white race, if ever, 1t is alto gether likely that the victor will fol- low the example set by John L. Sulli- van twenty-two years ago today and refuse to risk his title in a bout with a negro Mixed bouts are now gen orally drowned upon by the authori- ties and the sporting public in Ameri ca and England, and Johnson is likely to be the last of the black champic ms. It was on April II, 1892, that John L. Sullivan established a pugilistic pre- cedent by drawing the "co1or line and refusing to cross it to accept the challenge of Peter Jackson. Later in the same year Sullivan lost his title to Jim Corbett. who, the preceding year. had fought a sixty-one round draw with the big Australian black. If Jackson had not been 8, cripple at the time, as the result of injuries re- ceived in a fall from a buggy, he might have whipped Corbett, and h.. could almost certainly have defeated Sullivan if the latter hadn't taken re- fuge behind the "coIor line.''
 While public opinion is now against bouts between white and co1ored men, l it must be admitted by all fair-mind- led fans that the African race has pro-

Sluggish Bowels cause Gases, Indigestion and Food
 Fermentation.
Get a 1o-cent box now.

That awful sourness, belching of acid and foul gases; that pain in the pit of the stomach, the heartburn, nervousness, nausea, bloating after eating, dizziness and sick headache, means a d1sordered stomach, which cannot be regulated until you remove the cause. It isn't your stomach's fault. Your stomach is as good as any.
 Try Cascarets: they immediately cleanse the stomach, remove the sour, undigested and ferrnenting food and foul gases; take the excess bile from the liver and carry off the constipated waste matter and poison from the bowels. Then your stomach trouble is ended. A Cascaret tonight will straighten you out by mornings 10 cent box from any drug store will keep your stomach sweet: liver and bowels regular for months.

Anyone who is arrested between now and next Monday may have an oppor- tunity to have ride in a handsome six cylinder Locomobi1e touring car.
 This machine was dispatched to Police headquarters this morning to supplant temporarily the police patrol automobile. The auto patrol, in use for several years, is to be replaced by new LocomobiIe, a model L. chassis equipped with special body, of about the same general type as the body of the first automobile patrol wagon.
 Until this is delivered, probably Monday, the touring car will be used to carry prisoners.

THE WEATHER FORECAST

A long trough of lowt pressure ex- tending from Texas norfheastward to Ontario is causing cloudy and rainy weather with mild temperature in the Mississippi valley and the lake region. Pleasant weather prevails along the Atlantic coast. Frosts were reported as far south as North Carolina. It is probabl that the western trough of low pressure will be divided into two storms. one passing out of the St. Lawrence valley and the other re- tarded until the first of next week. Should this occur, the weather in this vicinity will be pleasant and slightly cooler, but in case the disturbance moves eastward as one storm the weather on Sunday will be unsettled and showery.

W. j. Logan, d. & c. Addition, EN-

too frequent action of my kidneys and
when the kidney secretions were pass
ing, they seemed to burn. A steady,
dull pain annoyed me and whenever l
stopped it was almost impossible for
me to straighten on account of sharp
pains that darted through my kidneys.
l had to work all stopped over about
seven hours a day and this made my
back much worse. An old gentleman
advised me to try Doan's Kidney Pills
and l did. Two boxes fixed me up all
right and since then l haven't had any

down 500 feet and still there want a
sign of moisture. Then he quit com

lower his grub down to him and at
night he slept in the bottom of the
well. He struck a ledge of granite
at that time and couldn't pick out over
six inches a day, but he never let up
minute. The ledge of granite was
175 feet thick and it took Abe year
to dig through it. When he reached
the lower side he had been down that
well continuous for a year and six
months. The neighbors would come
over and drop notes down into the
hole telling Abe that his wife was
about to elope with tree peddler,
if he didn't show up soon, but it never
touched him. He said that he was go
ing on down till he struck water or the

EDUCATION SHOULD BE USEFUL

In the days when people thought
less favorably of high school and col
lege education than they do now,
was asked the question:
"What is the use Of history? What
is the use of literature? Win man
get any richer if he knows the his
tory Of Greece and Rome for having
read poetry and philosophy
The answer to those questions is
not that he will be any richer, but
that he will find out that there is
something else besides riches worth
pursuing; not that he will practice
his profession more successfully, but
that he viii have ideals outside of
his profession which will make him
a happier man in his own life and
more valuable 10 his friends and to
his country. | am sometimes inclined
to the opinion that the knowledge
that really is most useful today is,
the kind which seems less immedi-
ately and obviously useful the
knowledge of what great men have
done and thought in the past, and
the inspiration which comes from
such knowledge Looked at from the
standpoint Of America as whole,
this is certainly true, There is little
danger that our people will forget
how to make money There is little
danger that we shall fail to practice
our various trades and professions
with skill. But there is considerable
danger that in the pursuit of those
objects we may forget larger ends;
that in getting rich ms individuals we
may lose sight Of the things that are
necessary for the making Of nations.
The most useful knowledge, then, is
that which will make us the best cit

man ever knew. When Abe got his

that matter He would just keen
hanging on and working away at his
fad till he would get what he wanted
or bust himself trying, Abe settled
out in eastern Idaho and was unlucky
enough 10 strike dry location. There
were them that tried to tell him that
it was next to impossible to get wa
ter in that locality, but Abe said that
he never failed to get water yet and
he was going down there till ne got
it. Then ne set to digging well. He
hired boy TO haul up the dirt and
he dug. When he was down hundred
feet and it was still as dry as a SER
mon on the doctrine of election, his
neighbors come round to advise him
to try somewhere else. 1t made him
mad and he went right on digging,
telling the neighbors that when he
wanted their advice he would call for
