STOCKS AND BONDS.
New. Tork, May 8. So far as the
transactions are concerned, this was
the banner day at the stock exchanse,
over 422,000 shares of stock and 14,743,-
000 bonds havlnB been traded In. Sum
mlng It up, however, the market did
not display the reslHtancy which has
been Its chief characteristic of late. In
fact there was a prencral disposition on
the part of traders, who turned bullish
after tho adjournment of congress nnd
loadvd up with Mb lines of various
stocks, to turn paper profits Into cash,
and the enormous realization from this
sourve had a tendency at times to offset
tho buying for Europe and by local
commission houses. Tho buying for
Kurope today was again heavy, the for.
elgners tnklng renewed Interest In the
bond department.
The Texas Pacific Issues appeared to
be In best demand, and a big block of
the bonds were tliken for London. The
foreign purchases are beginning to ex
ert an Influence on sterling exchange,
and late In the day demand bills sold
as low as 4K8&a4X8. A feature of the
share speculation was the Increased de
mand for Chicago and Eastern Illinois,
Big Four, Canada Southern, Michigan
Central, .Flint and ere Marquette, Pa
cific, Mail, Pan Handle, St. Louis,
Southwestern, Texas Land, Texas Pa
cific nnd a lot of other stocks which
seldom figure In the dealings, except In
times of miuHual excitement at the ex
change. Sugar felt the Influence bf re
cent liquidations, and after opening at
I15A f,,n to 114. and closed at 114.
Distillers was bouyant and Jumped to
20$. Chicago t!as was quiet, traders
preferring to hear from Governor Alt
geld In the matter of frontage bill be
fore engaging In new ventures. In the
closing hour the market was Inclined
to weakness, nnd the final transactions
as a rule showed net losses of al
per cent. A few stocks, however, re
corded gains of 14a per cent. Great
Northern perferred brought 1U4
against 105, the Uxt previously reported
sale.

ALMOST INCREDIBLE.
A Professional Nurse Afflicted with
Itright's IHbcoso of tho Kidneys
1 Inds a Cure. ,
(From the liufTalo News.)
Mrs. A. E. Taylor has resided In Buffalo
for over forty years, her address Is 250
Herkimer avenue; as a professional nurse
she has nursed back to health many a suf
ferer. Disease In all its varied forms )ve
become-as familiar to her as to the regu
lar practitioner. Her occupation Is one
that taxes the strongest constitution, but
the fatigue of long watching and nurs
ing at last brought her to a bed of sick
ness. Mrs. Taylor speaks of her com
plaint and cure- as follows: "After being
confined to my bed for some time my dis
ease assumed such a serious acpect that a
doctor was called In. He pronounced my
ailment IlrlRht's disease of the kidneys In
the third decree and a very bad case. My
limbs swelled up so that I could not walk
across the floor, or, Indeed, help myself In
any way. My face bloatod up and my eyes
swelled so that the sight was badly Im
paired. This condition continued for near
ly two months without any marked im
provement from tho doctor's treatment.
I have taken quarts of buchu and Juniper.
1 tried battery treatment, but nil with
out "any lasting benefit until I felt like
finally giving up In despair. Hearing of
Doan's Kidney Pills I gave them a trial,
and after taking three boxes I was able
to get up without assistance and walk,
something I had not done m months. 1
continued steadily to improvo wlU their
use. The swelling In my leg left, the color
relumed to my face, changing from a
chalky color to a healthy bloom. I now
consider myself entirely cured and I shall
never . rest .praising the little pill that
saved nn.
"Doan's Kidney Pills are certa'nly a
surprising discovery for kidney ailments.
I shall be glad to. tell anyone of the won
derful cure they'rierformed on me."
For sale by all dealers price 60 cents.

INDUSTRIAL TOPICS.
Notices have been posted Ini the Berk
shire cotton mills that an Increase In
wages would be granted May 20. The
amount is not stated.
The Central Traffic association lines
have decided to grant a rate of one cent
per mile for the annual encampment of
the Grand Army of the Republic at
Louisville.
In 1892 and 1S93 the New York and
New England freight trains averaged
350 tons. Last year Mr. Odell Increased
the tonnage per freight train so 08 to
save the company $300,000; some trains
carried 700 tons.
When the New York Central's new
code of rules goes Into effect the em
ployes will be required to undergo ex
amination as to their knowledge of
them, and those who do not pass a cer
tain percentage will have to leave the
service.
Pottstown, Pa., May 8. The large
plant of the defunct Young, Willever
Block Signal company was sold today
to Stanly, Flagg & Co., who will Btart
an Iron works, placing the machinery In
the plant at once, and starting with a
force of 250 hands.
The shipments of coal over the Read
ing railroad In the week ended May 4
were 276,446 tons, an Increase of 84.697
tons over the same week last year. For
the fiscal year to date the shipments are
5.316,646 tons, an Increase of 645,211 tons
as compared with the previous year.
While It is true that the Illinois Steel
company has orders ahead to keep Us
mills employed for a couple of months.
It Is also true that for more than a year
the company has accepted large con
tracts at absolutely no profit, Blmply to
keep the mills running and give em
ployment to Its men.
So many rumors have been afloat re
cently regarding a proposed scheme to
secure control of the Reading railroad
by a combination of the Pennsylvania,
the Jersey Central, the Delaware and
Lackawanna and other roads' Interested
In the anthracite coal trade that a
prominent Pennsylvania railroad offi
cial took occasion yesterday to brand
the story as absolutely false, so far as
his company Is concerned. President
Sloan, of the Delaware and Lackawan
na, has already denied that his com
pany has any connection with such a
deal..
Manufacturers say that the booming
of business Is beginning to be an ob
stacle to Improvement. This is due
partly to the fact that advances In raw
materials have been relatively greater
than advances In finished products, re
ducing the narrow margin of profits
still further. ' Added to this, operatives
have been quick to demand Increase In
wages. In some Instances It has been
granted, but In 'others manufacturers
threaten to close their works because
of Inability to get out even, with higher
cost for materials and higher cost of
labor on one hand and only a slight ad
vance In finished goods on the other.
This situation applies to a good many
woolen mills, some cotton mills and
some of the coal and Iron works.

during the winter season In the west.
Burgess H. C. Jessup and several of
the health board, accompanied by the
town council, visited Jones' lake to see
about the water. Tho article In The
Tribune some time ago evidently In
spired the health board to communicate
to the council regarding Montrose's
water supply. As the water Is now all
right, at least apparently so, the official
visitation amounted to naught. Will-
lam Walker, a director of the Consum
ers' Water company, from Mayfleld,
was In Montrose on Tuesday when the
inspection occurred. Now thnt the bad
water is gone, of course nothing was
discovered.
Surveyor D. D. Lathrop has for a few

Miss Pope is confined to her home with
typhoid fever, but her standing has
been so high that she will receive her
diploma, even If for a short time she
has been unable to attend school.
The Tribune correspondent has of late
been approached by a number of peo
ple In Montrose who have accused him
of sending news to the paper he repre
sents. It Is usually considered by a
conscientious reporter unlust to his na
per, Its readers and himself if he doe's
not endeavor to the best of his ability
give an impartial, full and correct ac-
count of all the news he can. The Idea
of suppressing unpleasant news is
prevalent In some localities; perhaps
this has been the past custom in Mont
rose. In a delicate manner The Tribune
man wishes It understood that the news
will prevail pleasant or otherwise.
Perhaps It's because The Tribune prints
the news that It has so Increased Its
circulation here. Who knows?

Miss Llna McCray, who resides at

swallow any solid food and for nine
years all food taken into her stomach
had to be reduced to a fluid form. Her
flesh gradually disappeared and she be
came a mere skeleton. After all hope
of her recovery had been abandoned
she was taken to Dr. Smith, at No. 312

three square meals each day. Not a
