CORRECTION
What the Governor ol Illinois Said
o! Pennsylvania Regarding
the Live Stock
A CORRECTION OP
CRITICISM DEMANDED
Mr. Yutes Asserts That It Is tho
Pennsylvania Iilvo Stock Board
That Has "Misled a Governor
Without Proper Effort to Ascertain
Pacts" Mr. Stone Asked to Cor
rect the Misapprehension That
May Havo Been Caused by the
Widely Published Letter Concerning-
the Cattle Quarantine.
By Inclusive Wire from The Associated I'rcM.
Springfield, 111., Dec. a 10. Governor
(yates, of Illinois, has sent a letter to
Governor Stone, of Pennsylvania, de
manding n. correction of tho IntteVs
criticism of Governor Yates' action in
quarantining the cattle of certain east
ern slates. The letter concludes us fol
lows: "1 desire to say that, as It appears to
inc. It is your live stock board, and not
mine, which, has 'misled a governor
without proper effort to ascertain the
facts.' The facts are that the procla
mation in question, a- copy of which I
herewith enclose, does not quarantine
against the cattle in the states of New
York, Pennsyslvunia and New Jersey,
but simply against the states of Ver
mont, Massachusetts, Connecticut and
Jthodo Island. The slightest examina
tion by you or your live stock board of
tills proclamation would havo satisfied
you of this fact. Tho only requirement
ufl'eetitig cattle from your state, or Now
York and Now Jersey, Is the require
ment that cattle must be accompanied
by a certificate to the effect that they
have not been within the quarantined
states for the past thirty days.
"As a matter of course, the premises
considered, I respectfully decline to
withdraw my proclamation.
"I sincerely trust that you will do
what you can to correct any misappre
hension you may have caused by your
widely published letter, and to see that
the correction is given as wide a pub
lication as your letter."
Ilarrlsburg, Dec. 30. Governor Stone
received today a letter from Governor
Yates, of Illinois, demanding a correc
tion of his recent note to the Illinois
executive criticizing his action In quar
antining the cattle of Pennsylvania
and other eastern states.
The governor has referred the com
munication to Dr. Leonard Pearson,
Mate veterinarian and secretary of the
Pennsylvania, state live stock board,
nni will make no reply to Governor
"Votes until after ho has heard from Dr.
Pearson.

A Scranton Citizen Tells Yon
What It Is,'
It Is not safo to experiment when
nnythlng important is at stake. Tito
surest way is to profit by the experi
ence of friends and neighbors. Tho pub
lic statemcrit of a Hcrnnton citizen
given hero is stilllclcnt proof to con
vince any reader.
Mr. Albert Itoskllly, of 311 North
Kverott avenue, Hyde Park, engineer at
the Cnpouse mines, says: "I had for
years a dull pain across my back. My
back felt lame and sore so much that
when I bent it was nil I could do to
strnlghten tip again. 'Whenever I took
cold it affected my back. At night It
bothered me a great deal with sharp
twinges, which kept mo awake for
hours. I often got up In the morning
feeling tired nnd devoid of nil energy
and ambition. There was also a kid
ney weakness which at times was an
noying nnd painful. I had my atten
tion called to Doan's Kidney Pills
through our papers, from time to time,
by reading the testimony from people.
I went down to Matthews Pros.' drug
store and got a box. They benefited
mo in every way. I have felt slight
touches of tho pain since, but a resort
to Doan's Kidney Pills never failed to
quickly relieve It."

THE MARKETS,
Wall Street Review.
New York, Dec. 16. Tho ntoek market
wiih a wm kon ol today from tho condition
or lethargy which hns recently prevailed
by an urgent and prcclpltnto selling
movement. Tho felling jtiilntd In volume
us tho day progressed until violent do
ellnen wrro rorctd In the Inst half hour of
thn trading. Taking of milck prollln by
thn room traders was the only source
of buying and tho closing was extremely
unsettled and aotlve, though above tho
lowest ' figures. 1hscs reached threo
points or over In.a fnw of the lending ne
tlvo stocks, moulding Ht. Pant, Pennsyl
vania, Now York Central, Heading, Man
hattan and Amalgamated Copper. Losses
generally ranged from ono to over two
points. There wero evidences of profess
ional attack on tho market, but tho de
cline In priors dislodged largo stop-loss
ordors niul Induced largo selling of long
stock by tlrrtl holders. Tho immediate
factor In ratulng tho decline was thn
shipment of a milioti dollars In gold tp
South America, ami tho growing evidences
of tho suveru pressure In the money mar
ket. In tho tlmo money market addition
al difficulty was found In securing loari3
on any tonus. Tho 0 per cent, rate for all
periods was purely nominal and tho ac
tual ralu pnld was entirely a mntter of
pilvato treaty botwosn borrower and
lender. Favorable fnctors wern ignored
In tho trading and tho weakness of tho
particular stocltn affected by special news
devdapmentfi had a sentimental effect In
weakening the wholo market. Thus tho
agreement affected In tho Colorado Fuel
dlsputo was greeted with a GVa point drop
in that security. The circulation of a
syndicate contract Inviting deposits of
Hocking Velloy stock for tnn purpose of
retiring the preferred stock and of voting
tho common stock for consolidation,
mergers and nthor arrangements, carried
a pretty broad intimation of plans matur
ing for tho control of bituminous coal car
riers In the middle states, but this only
served to induce, realizing In thoso stocks.
Reports of a working agreement, between
Union Pacific and St. Paul or tho
through business did not savo St. Paul
from being one of the weakest stocks on
tho list. Heavy selling of Northern Se
curities on the curb had a sympathetic
effect on tho wholo market. Total sales
today, I"2,(i00 shares. The bond market
continued dull and became weak In sym
pathy with stnctfB. Total sales, par value,
.rSO.OOO. United States old coupons de
clined ',i per cent, on tho last call.

OF FACTS ONLY
Sale of
Damaged
We are not having a fire
sale, but however, after the fire
in our old store last winter and
the skating season being over
before we reopened, we were
left with a big stock on hand.
About
200 Pairs of Skates Were
Slightly Damaged by Water
Owing to the reckless way the fire
men have of throwing water around they
rusted a little, just a spot here and there,
but we have cleaned and polished them up
and they are now practically as good as
new. We are going to sell them at very
low prices.
To give you an idea of the tremen
dous cut we have made on these goods :
In the lot is a large number of the famous
Forbes Skate. Regular price $4.50 and
5,00. We have cut these down as low
as $2,00, The entire stock has been cut
in the same proportion.
