(By Associated Press.)
MOW YORK, Oct 8.?Fluctuations!
In prices of stocks wert- quite wide to?
day and tho purposes of the profes?
sional traders were thus betto? serv?
ed than in the lethargic market which/
has prevailed for several days.
The drawback was that the flu? tu
at Ions became rather feverish and
erratic, making It difficult for the|
roomtraders to take advantage of op?
portunities.
Decline in Hill Stocks.
The Hill stocks abruptly declined'
when it became known that Northern!
Pacific was getting; its regular quart?
erly dividend of i-% and no more.
Their strength early had only partly
offset tlie heavy tone In the general
list which was inclined to react from
the sharp advance after yesterday of
Its own weight.
C. and O. Weak.
The reactionary tendency was em?
phasized by the weakness In Chesa?
peake and Ohio, following the publica?
tion of its annual report showing only
a nominal surplus left out of the years'
results after special appropriationsI
and the payment of the 1 per cent d!-|
vldend on the stock.
Money Market Firm.
The maintained firmness of tho
money market was a restraint on any
speculative ventures. Tho whole mar?
ket lapsed into extreme dullness again
late in tlie day.

"Gone to tho Devil."
The old Inns of England have lteen i
responsible for the origin of many
common sayings. An Instance of this
Is the proverbial phrase, "lie has gone '
to the devil." On Fleet street, Ixmdon,
near Temple Bar, was once n tavern
Which was known by the strictly old
fnshloniHl name the Devil and St.
Dunstnil, It was famous for Its good
dinners and excellent wines nnd re?
ceived n large patronage from the law?
yers of Temple Bar. I
It was familiarly known as Tho
Devil, nnd when a lawyer left his of?
fice to go there he usually left n notlco
on his door, "Gone to the Devil." I
There were some who patronised the
tavern to the neglect of their business,
nnd the notice was so regulnrlv exhlb- ]
IterT on tb?lr doors thnt It finnfly enmo I
to bo used to characterise the man ]
who was losing his grip nnd going to j
destruction.?St. Louis Republic.
Her Vaulting Ambition.
"The height of my ambition," said
the woman who hasn't always had to
work, but I.as to now, "Is to make so
much money that I won't have to rec?
ognise every piece of lingerie I possess.
I want to have so many pieces of ev?
erything Hint 1 can take up, sny, a
skirt to put It Oil nnd won't know It Is
mine because 1 have bad to wear It
over nnd over about n hundred times."

REASONABLE BULES
FOR RHEUMATICS.
Western Specialist Explains a Few
Simple Rules for the Avoidance
and Cure of Rheumatism, Kidney
and Bladder Troubles.
Dr. George Edmund Flood stales
thnt Rheumatism and the various
forms of Kidney and Bladder trou?
bles are among the most easily eura
14 n diseases?that Is, when they are
treated in a sensible manner.
According to Dr. Flood, those per?
sons suffering from any of these all
inents should exercise the greatest
moderation in the consumption of rich
food?. Dr. Flood has met with great
success In his practice in tho treat?
ment of those complaints, and he lias
advised all of his patients to snbsll
tute for such a diet as we have Just
mentioned, the simpler and more
nourishing soups, broths, fresh milk,
fresh vegetables, and plenty of pure
wnter?lots of water.
Rut, says Dr. Flood, observance of
these rules will not suffice to effect a
cure, although such observance is ne?
cessarily of the greatest assistance In
tho treatment. During all his prac?
tice, that Is. In the treatment of
Rheumatism, Kidney and Bladder
troubles, this eminent physician has
employed one simple prescription
which, he states, has proven itself
of unvarying curative vnluo. Dr.
Flood has kindly consented that we
reproduce a copy of this famous pre?
scription In this column for the bene?
fit of our readers.
This Is the prescription:
Fluid Extract Cascara Aromatic. |-2
ounce; Concentrated Barkola Com?
pound, 1 ounce; Aromatic Elixir, 4
ounces.
Adult dose, one teaspoouful after
meals and at bedtime; children, one I
fourth to one-half teaspoonful after
meals.
Dr. Flood says it is pleasant to tnke
and may bo filled by any druggist,
anywhere, or. better still, yon ran gel
the Ingredients yourself nnd mix them
at home Py shaking well In a bottle.
Dr. Flood guarantees the sitccesn of
this prescription If taken according to
directions'.

OFFICIAL JAMESTOWN
SOUVENIR
WATCHES
To Boys and Girls, and Older Folks, too
EVERYBODY SHOULD HAVE ONE.
The Oflicial Souvenir Witch of tho Jamestown Tercentennial is the most attractive of the Offi?
cial Souvenirs. It is a guaranteed timo-piecc, and a very pretty ornament. To begin with, the back
case of the watch is the officii! seal of the Exposition, ?uishod in fine colored enamels. This makes
the watch more valuable afteitho Exposition, as no more souvenirs of any kind bearing this emblem
will be struck off. Those, throforo, fortunate enough to possess any kind of souvenir bearing this
seal, will own something thatwill increase in valuo each succeeding yoar following tho close of the
Exposition, aside from its intmsic worth.
The watch dial is a pictoial representation of three centuries of American progress, 1007-1907
which dates appear on tho fac, the whole finished in oight colors harmoniously blended. To the
left of the dial is shown the Hod Spood" and tho "Susan Constant" sailing up the James river, then
known as the Powhatan, with;wo Indians watching them. In the centre is an excellent picture of
old Jamestown Church as it r,w stands. To the right can b3 seen two modern battleships and a
front view of tho Exposition. The whole design is artistic and correot in every detail. Everyone
should have a Jamestown Sou?nir Watch. It makes a handsome present for any boy or girl. These
watches are made in two sizesfor lady and gentleman.
