WEEKLY STOCK MARKET.
The General Tendency Has
Been
Against Upward Prices.
New Tork, Dec. 8. The general ten
dency of the stock market this week ha3
been reactionary, but varied by the no
table strength of a few railroad stocks
for the most part low priced non-dividend
paying railroads.
The general outside buying movement
has lost its force, while the drain upon
the money market discourages opera
tions by speculators dependent on bor
rowed money. The market thus fails to
absorb well the offerings to realize. The
renewed movement of currency to the
'interior and the beginning of prepara
tions for the yearly settlements in Jan-
J uary are the forces depleting the money
market supply. The bond market has
separated itself to some extent from the
stock market. Business has been on a
large scale and at advancing prices. Low
grade and junior bonds have been in
most demand.

AHEAD OF TIME.
Pedestrian Reaches San Francisco
From Gotham in 129 Says.
San Francisco, Dec. 8. Harry "West,
known as "Kid" West, who on August 1,
left New York on a wager he would
walk to San Francisco in 135 days has
arrived here six days ahead of time.
West claims to have wagered $5,000
with Charles Morten of Kansas City.that
he would start from New Tork city
without a cent, walk to San Francisco
and get there broke. In the time speci
fied. A Gift to Give.
It is often difficult to decide what to
get your friends for holiday gifts. Here
is a suggestion:
"Good morning.Jennie, I have brought
you a nice present." said Gertrude, as
she handed her friend a neatly wrapped
package.
The pale, weary looking girl, who was
slowly recovering from severe illness,
opened the bundle and held up a large
bottle of clear, rich medicine.
"Hood's Sarsaparilla!" she exclaimed.
"I have been reading about it today
and wished I had a bottle."
On New Year's Day Jennie was able
to be out on the street, and to her
friends who remarked how well she was
looking she simply said, "Hood's Sarsa
parilla," and every one of them knew
it was the great medicine that had
given back her health.
Washington, D. C, Dec. 8. Senator
Harris, of Kansas, has withdrawn his
fight on the Oklahoma governorship.
Although the four years' term of Gov
ernor Cassius M. Barnes does not ex
pire for four months, the fight over the
appointment of his successor has al
ready begun. It is generally understood
now that Mr. Barnes will not be a can
didate to succeed himself, and will be
content to serve out his present term
In fact, such intimation has been made
at the interior department in reply to
inquiries as to the intention or tne ae
partment to send to the senate, in re
sponse to the joint resolution passed last
winter, copies of all the Charges, affi
davits, judicial opinions and other
papers on file relating to his adminis
tration of the federal offices in the Ter
ritory.
Senator Harris and Senator Jones of
Arkansas, both of whom urged the in
terior department to promptly comply
with the resolution, will now give up
their interest in the fight against the
governor, and save the department, as
well as Mr. Barnes, any further embar
rassment in regard to the publication of
the charges on file.
There are numerous candidates here
pressing their claims for the appoint
ment, of the governorship, but at pres
ent the man who seems to have the
best chances of landing this coveted
plum is Joseph McNeil, of Guthrie.
R. W. Calderhead. who has been re
cently mentioned in the press dispatches
as having arrived in Seattle, Wash., on
the steamer Dolphin from Dawson, is
a brother of Congressman W. A. Calder
head. He has been up in the Klondike
region prospecting for some time past
and is reported as having been very
successful in his expedition. This is an
instance where a silver man has been
seeking gold. He is a Populist. The
Calderhead family is one of diversified
politics. Another brother or wiese gen
tlemen resides in Montana, and is at
present secretary of agriculture and
mnine industries. The latter was a
PoDUlist candidate for United States
senator from that state four years ago,
but was defeated. Their father was a
staunch Democrat in his days. As a
matter of comparison in the interesting
political complexion of some families
this family resembles tne uayior lirauj
of Tennessee to some extent. It will be
remembered that in the campaign of
four vears axo one of the Taylor broth
ers was the nominee for governor of
that state on the Republican ticKet.
Another brother, a Democrat, was also
nominated for that office. Their ratner,
cher. who was a Prohibitionist,
was the choice for the same office by
F.nrh nartici nated in a vig
orous campaign, frequently holding
joint debates, which resulted in the
Democratic brother's election. He
claimed that he carried his fiddle on all
occasions during his campaign, and lit
erally "fiddled himself into office."
The Kansas delegation deserve much
credit which is due them for their ener
getic committee work in both branches
of our national legislature. Most every
one of them are good committee workers
and their opinions and conference is fre
quently sought.
Each of the Kansas senators are mem
bers of seven important senate commit
tees. Senator Baker is chairman of com
mittee on civil service and retrenchment.
He is also member of the following com
mittees, viz: District ot Columbia; im
provement of Mississippi river and its
tributaries; Indian affairs; pensions;pri
vate land claims; and committee on five
civilized tribes of Indians.
Senator Harris is a member of the fol
lowing committees: Civil service and
retrenchment; interoceanic canals; irri
gation and reclamation of arid lands;
manufactures; military affairs; Pacific
railroads; and committee on privileges
and elections.
In the house of representatives, Con
gressman Bowersock is a member of
three committees: Coinage, weights and
measures; reform in the civil, service;
and alcoholic liquor traffic.
Congressman-at-large Bailey's com
mittees are those of house claims, and
expenditures of department of agricul
ture. Congressman Calderhead Is on the
banking and currency committee, and
also a member of committee on invalid
pensions. Besides these he serves on the
sub-pension committee which has to do
with all the pension cases west of the
Mississippi river.

Warner's Safe Cttrb Co., Rochester, N. Y.
Genilenten ; Eight years ago I suffered greatly with
kidney trouble. I consulted several physicians but their
medicines did me no good. A friend of mine in the drug
business suggested that I try Warner's Safe Cure. I fol
lowed the suggestion and after using a couple of bottles
I noticed a slight improvement. I continued its use for
about eighteen months and am happy to say that it
completely cured me. I have waited several years be
fore giving this testimonial in order to s&e if my care
was permanent. I now believe it is.
Yours truly,

HAVE PINK EYE.
Chicago People Are Seriously Afflicted
With a New Disease.
Chicago, Dec. 8. A new disease which
attacks the eyes and in many respects
resembles "pink eye" is said to be epi
demic in the city. It is infectious and is
not confined to any particular part of
the city or class of people.
Or.e explanation offered for the origin
of the malady is that it is due to tha
clouds of dust which have been driven
about the streets since the windy season
set in.
An eye specialist who has treated a
number of cases said:
"The disease was first noticed about a
month ago, but during the last two
weeks it has spread very rapidly and has
reached the point where it may be call
ed epidemic."

DID NOT CURE
But Greatly Helped by Change of
Food.
A: laXST In Harrisburg, O., Is frank
enough to say that while she has been
helped, she was not entirely cured in the
change of food and taking up Grape
Nuts food. She says she began eating
rich and highly seasoned food when she
was young and followed it until she set
up a bad stomach trouble, with severe
attacks of nervous sick headache.
Finally rheumatism of the Joints set
in, and now some of her joints are dis
located by the heavy deposits forming
about them and pushing them .out of
place, so that she is almost helpless. Her
nervous system was' wrecked and the
optic nerve affected so that she could
not read without bringing on nervous
prostration and insomnia that would
last two or three nights.
"Last fall I heard of, and commenced
the use of, Grape-Nuts as a food. It
has since been both food and medicine
to me, for I have taken very little medi
cine since I began to use it. After 10
months I find a great improvement in
my brain and nerve power, am no
longer troubled with sleeplessness, I
suffer very much less with my rheuma
tism, and can read several hours a day,
one day after the other and sleep well
all night.
"I am by no means entirely cured of
rheumatism, but I have been made so
much better by the use of Grape-Nuts
food that I am sincerely thankful for
it." The name will be furnished by the
