Dun & Co.'a weekly review of trade nays: No Other event of the week apuroaohee In importance the disruption of the steel rail pool. In two daya aftet It a greater tonnage of rails was probably purchased than the entire production last year, reported as 800,000 tons, and Initoad of $28 In December and 26 In January $17 Is now the price at which 'Works east and west are seeking; or ilers, the Carnegie company even sell ing at $17. Chicago delivery. These sales will employ many thousand hands, with an Important decrease In the cost of track laying; or renewals to railroads. Even more Important Is the result that reconstruction of the billet pool will be Impossible as lonp as the con- teat over rails continues, and the man ufacturer of structural forms, bars, rods, wire, nails, tin plates and many other products has a chance to secure cheap material. In the near future also Is the struggle between the two great companies producing Mesabl Iron ore, one allied with the Illinois Steel and the other with the Carnegie company, which is expected to bring about lower prices for ore, and to push many mines to their utmost capacity, But In the war of rival Interests wages nre already reduced by some large concerns. Speculations In products has hardly been more active than of late, and prices generally tend downward. AVheat rose a cent on Tuesday, but has since declined 2.37 cents. The cotton market has been depressed in like manner by estimates that the American crop would prove 8,680,000 bales, but the quantity coming Into sight has also surpassed previous guesses, and Indi cate a larger crop than most specula tors estimate. Failures for the past week have been in the United States, against 331 st year, and SI in Canada, against 87 iast year. MAHANOY CITY. 15. W. AbIi Assume Cliavgo of tlio Lake side ltoatl.

BOARDING AND SALES STABLES. Francis Murphy, the widest known temper-' ance advocate in tlio world, was horn uu years igo in an humblo cottage in Ireland, He is the founder of the "blue ribbon" and "iron clad pledge" movements. Mr, Murphy and Mr. Moody have recently been laboring to gether in some of the large cities. How deeply they have entered into the eflectlons of the country everyone knowB. Five thousand peoplo have just signed Mr. Murphy's temperance pledge in lloston. Mr. .Murphy is a great believer in Paine's "elery compound. For years bo lias been thoughtfully observing and advising men for their bodily and spiritual welfare. '-'A sound mind in n sound body" has been the constant theme of this great philanthro pist. . Because of its nwoer of strengthening and restoring the nerves and brain Paine's celery compound is used to-day in many such faml- .ies as that of Mr. Murphy where no other remedy would lie thought of for a moment. Mr. Murphy writes to The Boston Globe : "Paine's celory compound has been used In my family with good effect. It is a splendid remedy. The discoverer of this most successful of remedies was no mere theorist. Prof. Edward 12. Phelps, M. 1)., LL. D . of tho Dartmouth Medical School, had accumulated tho most abs.oHitc.ly convinolng evidence of the re markable virtue of his great discovery, enough to satisfy the most skeptically inclined person, before he offered Paine's celery com pound to his fellow practitioners and to the world. For absolute reliability in routing otitobsti nate disorders from the system there is noth ing that at all resembles or approaches it. Paitie's celery compound should be taken by everyone who is trying to get rid of nerve or blnod diseases or a disordered condition of tho liver or kidneys. Snch evidences of an unhealthy condition ns those constant headaches, melancholy, dys pepsia orconstipation rapidly disappear under the cleansing, regulating action of Paine's celery compound. Don't confound Paine's ce'ory compound with the Ignoiant, catch-penny, short-lived remedies, sarsaparillas, nervines and tonics that bear as much resemblance to Paine's celory compound ns the parasite vines do to tho oaks that they ll"o on. Don't tako any 1 thing less than Paiuo's eclory compound. 11 Sometimes! 3333 i.,ii - o C -B -3 --O l -- -O tf CT t 2 -"O W -j a o o -o J a -e -- s a SS -e a -w -O -5 - -9 m --O -O 3333 333S -o 33if Here's a case in point. We have left a small lot of those excellent, popular warm-lined shoes. We haven't the room, nor the disposition to keep them until next winter, and rather than run the risk of so doing we've cut the prices even below the money-saving factory prices. It's positive loss to us, but we'd rather lose than carry them over. Factory prices were 65c, 75c, $1 and 1.25. The get-out-quickly figures are 50c, 60c, 75c. and $1. If you want a taste of this best of all shoe chances, you must come quickly. Can't last long at these prices. Checks with every purchase ; 25 worth gets a handsome Parlor Ivump.

A farmer Who itonped at the Hotel Fram y yesterday to sell produce told a story of a ml I discivery he made on West Line street. Uo statel that wheti he was wiling vegetables to some women who had gathered slioiit Ids wagon a man from a nearby house approached and made aliargalu for a umbel of potatoes. While the farmer aam toned hit attention to the women the man carried the potatoes Into tho house. Shortly after the farmer followed to have a settlement. lie was astounded to find several children ravenously devouring the tftw ilatttoes from which neither the dirt, or skin had been removed. The farmer learned that the man yho had pm-ohased the potatoes and a wife and eight children were starving. "I can't pay you," said the head of the family, "aud if it will do you more good to tako Die potatoes from the mouths of these children than to lose the prle of them, why take them away." The farmer only claimed the basket aud added another bushel of potatoes to the pile on the floor, lie failed to get the name of the family and his own name he desired to have withheld.

EmTOB : In passing down Main street yesterday my attention was called to a sign in a window of one of those catch-penny concerns with which this town seems to lie nrwd with mure tbaD any other town In the st 'te. It really does seem strance t lint with ah the legitimate business houses that we have here, that this place should be made the dumping ground of ail this cheap cast-off trash. They announce their business in "rcat ilamiiiK placards and labels to catch the itinerant and unwary by promising to give ti.em something: for almost nothing. What i- tho result? After running off their shoddy slock and gatherlug iu the shekels from the unwary, Arab like, they silently fold their tent and steal anay.. The dupes are fooled and the borough, iu most cases, in cheated out of its just licenses. It is but a few weeks S';i that a town in & neighboring county mnde the license so high for these fake con cerns that they now give it a wide berth. In justice to our legitimate business men, can not our Borough Council go and do likowi-e ? Having been a resident of this town for tho last 27 years, I havo seen a great deal of this "Cheap John" business practiced upon our people, and it is a singular fact that, not withstanding their past oxpeilence, they still allow themselves to be humbugged, I am aware that many of them think thoy aro getting bargains but find out their orror when too late, and when they go to look for an explanation or redress, what do they find the bird has flown and tho place that "knew them once knows them no more." How is it with our home merchants ? Many of them havo been in business here for up wards of 20 or 25 years, have invested their savings hore, have given tbeir assistance aud their money for the welfare and advance ment of the town; when subscriptions are taken np for the injured and the poor and the needy they contribute liberally. Why t Because they have something at stake. What havo thoso traveling concerns got? Nothing; they pay no tates, they contribute nothing to charity, they are no material aid to tho town in any form, but, vampiro like, thoy live upon tho life blood of an over- confiding and cosily fooled public. Fellow citizens, stick to the true and tried, hold fast that which la good, and eschew ovil, .Is the advice of your lnond, an EX-llEItCUANT. Shenandoah, Feb. 13, 1807. The Supreme Court.
