Op to the first of September Doctor McCoy Gawe all ufce opportunity of placing them selves iidAot treatment at ttie uomlnal fixed rate of $3 a month UNTIL CURED; that all who placed themselves under trcm&ment wore to be treated, not for one month, put for te entire course, that is, 3oet as tons as they needed treatment, at Uko rte.

COMPACT SEALED BY DEATH Agreement on Which One Brother Furnished Monev to Another. The Latter Was to Marry a Rich Girl or Commit Suicide "With in Two Years. "VMeawuSept. 1-4. A unimie case, grow ing Bt of e euicide of Capt. George Ltfweattal, has jnst terminated in the law cowrts; here. It appeared frooi the evidence la the case that in 1895 Emit Lowenthal.a brother of tlw captain, agreed to famish mony to tlte latter, wlo was a roue and canMr. oa condition that lie either marry the daughter of a mStioonlre or commie aic5de after tlie expiration jf two years from die time of catering uiwn the agree ment. Emit tln heavily insured George's life ia various companies and lad inserted in U policies a clause declaring Hat they wovM act be afiectMl after two yearn by the cuuuter in which the insured should meet hie death. George failed In his attempts to lu veigle the rich man's daughter to marry him. jrtl no the expiration of the two years be kept tteoUier part or Ms agree ment and blew out bis brains with a rewflrer. Then Ecnll applied for the pay ment of the jHiUcies m his brotla;r's life, bat thetompanleshadlearned of the agree ment Le had made with George and re fused to pay their losses. Later they cashed bis arrest on the charge of having Tra-KhrienUy secured the reversion of some of the rxilu-lr. The trial, which conclud ed today, retail ted In the conviction of the accorded and he was sentenced to two yer imprisonment. It appears that another brother and also a lister had (speculated by means of insur ance on Qectfre' sHlcitle. Emll was often hoard to Mr. after he knew that George coald not induce a wealthy girl to wed bim, that untes his brother stat himself be weald prove himself a scoundrel. One of the moat Important openings of the fail season, and one which is un doubtedly the earliest, Is that of D. J. Kaufman, at 1007 Pennsylvania a venue to day. Air. Kaufman, who lias been engaged in business here for the last twenty years, has taken the spacious building in which H. O. Towles & Co. was located for years, and has completely melamorpliosed the place Into a perfect example of a modern store. The ground floor of the establish ment is particularly effective. The fres coed wails are offset with broadly artistic ElasUc basielief. In every spot where it els been possible to place one are three electric bulbs. AU the interior fixings are of hardwood and beautifully carved and finished. In selecting its stock the new firm has dealt with the great firms of the country, whose name upon a garment guarantees Its style and quality. The new ctore will be exclusively devoted to the fitting out of men. In addition to the clothing department there is a most up to-date furnishing goods stock, and a com plete hat department. Tills evening the floors of the establishment will be given over to tlie friends of the firm, for whose enjoyment every preparation lias been made. Music will enliven the occasion, and fragrant flowers and waving palms and greens offset the scene. it "Where Did You Get That llat?"

ADVANCE IN GRAIN PRICES Large Engagements for Export Cause the Bull Movement The Gruuger Shares Again the At tive Features Advances in Omaha nod Northwestern. New York, Sept. 3 -i. -The developments In th situation today were a decline In the foreign exchange market, firmer con ditions in the money market and a gen cral advance in grain prices. The latter was in response to the large engagements for export and to the official Italian and French estimates of the wheat crop of those countries, the former statistics show ing a -10 per cent reduction in the harvest as compared with last year, and the lat ter stwwiag a comparative falling off from the harvest of 1896 of over 26 per cent. The fact that the middle of September has been reached without a single oneof the usual frost scares incidental to this period of the year has escaped attention, but is nevertheless worthy of note, and a fortnight more will put the corn crop en tirely out of danger. Of course, also, the later the frost tne more restricted is the possible damage to corn. In the foreign exchinge market the declining tendency of the past few days was continued, and the rates for sight sterling bills were quoted only a little over a cent in the pound in the profitable gold importing point. There was a complete reversal in the tonJ of the day's str-ek market from that of yesterday. The yellow fever scare disappeared alto gether, In spite of the further spread of the disease, and yesterday's extravagant uo lions in regard to the imminence of an out break of hostilities with Spain were like wise dissipated. A much more serious matter was quite overlooked also, namely, the advance in I'aris exchange at Madrid to the highest figures on record, owing to the apprehensions in regard to the posi tion of the Bank of Spain. London houses today had fairly large order on both sides of the account, nud on balance sold a small amount of stocks. During this hour yesterday's reactionary tone was again evident and the market was quite unsettled, but after that the tendency toward recovery was fairly con stand throughout the day. The Granger shares were again the active features of the market, and In that group noteworthy ad vances were scored in Omaha and North western. Trobably the most influential .factor ehaplng the sentiment of ' traders was the belief that the condition of ihe foreign ex change ir-aikct would soon result In early 12.75 to Columbus, O., nud 12.75 Heturn Vin Pennsylvania liuilroad.

Co 85s O.Jj' Doi Uti The rise of the market yesterday, after one of the worct declines in the last three lntntliH, perhaps the worst, may niosc reasonably be attributed to manipulation. It seems almost certain that the advances yesterday were not the flnj Ingenuous moves tf the public tliat we have seen during the gratrlsa, and thatconsequently there is much m.jre likelihood of instability. The openihgor the market was on a rather small scale, though at prices generaUy better than those of the elo.se the day before. About noon theie was an appear ance of active manipulation in the gmugers and other leading stocks, and the early afternoon brought with it 'considerably appreciation in prices and sigual evidence of artificial bullish support. A good many sleeks showed a significant qufrturie in ill-keeping with the impression held by some tliat the market was experiencing a natural resumption of the advance. With this condition of things in the market- pre diction as to what will follow is almost idle, ltseems liardly probable, however, thatthe manipulators, though they are apparently strung people, with a yreat deal of money behind them, will be either able or desirous to continue holding up a fractious and un willing market. The public is certainly not so wholly and uniformly bullish as It was two or three weeks ago. One of the authorities ex pressed till Idea to me last night, perhaps too strongly, as follows: "All the knowing ones are afraid of the stock market. But the market has two powers in It which arc hard to defeat-on the one side, the public, and on the other, a gigantic millionaire syndicate. If that syn dicuteshould withdraw its support the pub lic would be multilated.. If the syndicate backs the market they will sustain it for weeks to come. 1 have more confidence in their treatment of the market tonight than I have had for a long time." Foreign exchange had a further de cline yesterday, the most important feature being that demand sterling touched $4.85. ThiK figure, of course, suggests gold im portations, even if they are subject to some delay 'n making their appearance. The decline iu exchange, however, has beon largely the result of a decreased In quiry, better supplies of commercial bills, and, above all, the hardening of the local money market, due to the shipments of funds to the Interior for crop moving pur "poses . TJnlon Pacific was a feature in the mar ket yesterday, making decided gains, very evidently due to the artificial manipulative support. It Would seem more probable that there will be a decline in this stock today, though It may not come until later. Tne strong tone in St. Paul was also very evidently due to professional buy ing. There is a feeling that Northern Pacific preferred is going to move up. The buying a It seems to be resumed. rreshlent Cable, of the R. I. Itailroad, said yesterday: "Our dividend meeting will be held Thursday or Friday of next week. The matter of an increase in the rate is something for the directors to de cide. I believe that roads should pay out dividends as they earn them." Speaking of the corn crop, he said: "There has been some damage done to corn, but not as much as they are talking about. There is a great deal of old corn left. 1 don't think there is any loss In the supply cnat the rail roads will feel for a year." The "Wabash annual' meeting, held In TO CURE DYSPEPSIA. A Xew Hemedy Which Will Do It. Chronic dyspepsia is considered by many people to be nearly If not quite Incurable. No good reason can be given why they tnlnk K except that perhaps they have tried various remedies without much, if any. benefit. But the progress In every branch of medicine has been such that among other things a lasting cure for In digestion In its chronic form, as well as temporary, has been discovered, and is now placed before the public strictly on its merits, as a permanent cure for all stomach troubles or difficulties with the digestive organs. Tills new treatment is called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, being put up in tablet form so as to be easily taken and also to preserve its good qualities for an in definite leuglh of time. This remedy has produced surprising effects in the worst forms of indigestion, und in many cases where ordinary remedies failed to give even relief, Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets have fully cured. The splendid results from using this preparation are owing to the fact that it is prepared and Intended for Dyspepsia and stomach troubles ONLY. It is nob a cure-all like so many advertised remedies, claiming to cure everything under the sun, but it is claimed that it is a certain cure for Dyspepsia, and any one suffering from any form of indigestion cannot fail to get permanent relief and cure from its use. It is so prepared and the ingredients are of 6uch a nature that when the tablets are taken Into the stomach they DIGEST THE FOOD no matter whether the stom ach is in good working order or not. You get sustenance and strength to mind and body by reason of the food being properly digested, and at the same time the much abused stomach is allowed to rest and recuperate. Notwithstanding the great benefits to be derived from Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets, the price is but 50c for full sized package and all druggists sell them. A little book on Stomach Diseases mail ed free bv addressing the Stuart Co., MarshaU, Mich. sel3-3teod New York yesterday, iiTacTe "ho changes in the board of officers of :the.company. "Western Union seenifi'to be one of the good things lust at present. No founda tion can be learned for 'the rumor that there Is to be an i immediate-change in the directorate, and more unllktdy than any thing else is it that Ruseell Sage will re tire. The "Western Union has been tou good a mine for him- The-Town Topics' financial bureau says that Western Union pays Sir. Sage large fees all the time, and that he Is able to collect them, and backs the statement upbytthc assertion that Mr. Sage makes Itthtmself. These people predict that the stock will sell in the neighborhood of 1 1 0. It seems prob able that it will be one of the first, stocks to cross the par line, If the market con tinues at all favorable. Chicago Gup seems to be a good pur chase, for the same reasons that have sent the price of the stock up during the last four or five months. A stock like Chicago Gas, which for years nnd years never quhe got to par, although It trembled on the blink several times, when it has crossed the line should certainly go furthor. Mr. George "W. Silpby telegraphed to" his company here yesterday that he had made arrangements to resume business on the very best possible basis, and that In a few days ho will be able to iuare up his accounts. Sir. Silfiby'K customers still remain in his rooms from day to clay in an apparently friendly manner, though It may be thut it ih one of hope merely, and not one of friendli ness p&r se.
