1.-THE REASON WHY"

B. A. Thomas Stock Remedies
are the best, they are scientifically
made and all medicine. They keep
the health up, and the feed bills
down. There is a cause for every
effect, remove the cause the effect
removes itself.
The Poultry Remedies are espe.
cially made to relieve all the dis
eases in the Fowl family and makes
the Hens lay.
The Hog Remedy will positive
ly keep off the Cholera, and if gil
ven in the stages, will cure 80 per
cent.
Don't forget to keep on hand a
bottle of Fsrris' Collie Remedy for
Horses. 1t is so simple with a
dropper, that a child can give it.
Also bottle of Farris' Healing
Remedy for Cuts and Bruises on
man or beast, they never fail.
These remedies are all guaran-
teed to you by your dealer, to give
satisfaction, or your money back.

left the building and got into a
phaeton. They started off at a mad
pace, firing their revolvers at the pur-
suing militia.
The soldiers returned the shots and
killed TWO of the men in the carriage.
The third mar jumped out and fled
down q side street but was pursued by
a Montenegro, a brother Of one of

Oats Sagging.

New York, July 13.-Sharp breaks
On the corr today resulted from Presi-
dent Wilson's veto to the bill to hoist
the guaranteed price Of wheat. Bull
ish sentiment was further weakened
by improved weather conditions. Most
of the selling came from discouraged
longs. Opening quotations., which
ranged from 3-4@2 1-Sc lower, with
August $3.50 to IL and September
$3.50 to Ia, were followed by addi-
tional- setbacks. although not, Of a
radical sort.
Oats, like corn. sagged owing to the
veto and the favorable weather.
Trade, however. was light. After
opening unchanged to 3-4c ldwer the
market underwent a moderate further
decline.
Provisions gave way with grain.
Active issues were firm at the slug
gish opening OF today's stock market,
such leaders as United States Steel,
Reading and Marine Preferred scoring
fractional gains. Speculative issues
were irregular, advances Of 1 to / IL
in Texas Company, International Agri-
cultural, Chemical Preferred and
American Ice, being balanced by
losses Of one to- two. points in Console
dated Gas, Sumatra Tobacco and
American Zinc Preferred. The war
group was moderately higher. Deal
ings were of the most slender proper
tons. Liberty bonds held steady.
