Nothing is more contagious, once it Is
fairly developed, than the fever of
J speculation; and, like fevers of other
sorts, It must run Its course.
At the present time much of the
buying is based upon the belief that
the big capitalists and syndicates are
obliged to support the market, rather
than allow the various deals which
] they have in contemplation to col-
lapse. Let one or two weak spots of
importance develop: let one or two
j important deals fall through, and the
whole bull movement would be check-
ed, and the results of a stiff reaction
just now would be disastrous. Fortu-
nately no weak spots of consequence
are at present to be detected. There

Written from Washington, D.C., says:

Delegate Wilcox, on reaching home
after the adjournment of congress,
started a movement for carrying the
whole Home Rule party over bodily
to Republicanism. Now it is reported
that some of the Home Rule leaders,
while acquiescing in the proposition
wish still to keep their faction separ-
ate from and hostile to the wing of
the original Republican party of tbe
islands which has Governor Dole for
its leader. One way of doing this is
to reject all the appointments to in-
sular offices made by the governor,
hut Delegate Wilcox is opposed to
such a course, and the political situa-
tion in the islands is more confused
and uncertain than ever. In view of
these facts. It is not surprising to
learn that Governor Dole is very sick.
DUTIES OF DIRECTORS.
Stock speculation has run wild In
New York the past few days, the
transactions reaching more than two
million shares daily. These figures
are unprecedented in the history of
the share market, and the excl^
ment ln trading circles has reached a
corresponding degree of intensity. It
has been a bull market throughout
and the rapid advance in prices has

The Muskogee Phoenix says: The
bonus asked of Muskogee by the
Eastern capitalists and the representa-
tives of the Shawnee railroad, which
runs from this place to shawnee and
the line running from this place to
Fort Gibson and to Guthrie, has been
raised and the contract signed up for
the carrying out of the project.
The propositions are, in brief, as
follows: Muskogee is to raise $60,-
000 in cash, or its equivalent in land
to the amount of one-half of the sixty
thousand. To secure both roads, and

Wheat Fields Will Soon Outgrow Ef-
fects of Insect.
Ponca City, Okla., April 29.—Close
examinations of the wheat fields show
no alarming development of the apis,
or green plant louse situation. It is
impossible to determine the question
of damage to the rapidly growing
wheat. It is safe to say, however,
that without either a very rapid in-
crease of the insect or some very un-
favorable weather conditions, the
wheat fields are likely to soon outgrow
all present effects of the insect. In
many fields the older insects are num-
erously dead.
No males have yet been discovered
Minn, says the following ln regard to
Peruna: "As a remedy for catarrh 1 can
cheerfully recommend Peruna. I know
what it is to suffer from that terrible
disease and I feel that it is my duty to
speak a good word for the tonic that
brought me immediate relief. Peruna
cured me of a bad case of catarrh aud I
know it will cure any other sufferer
from that disease."
Miss Mattie L. Guild, President Illi-^
nois Young People's Christian Temper-
ance Union,ln a recent letter from Chi-
cago, 111., says:
"1 doubt If Peruna has a rival In ijf
the remedies recommended to-day for
catarrh of the system. A remedy that
will cure catarh of the stomach will
cure the same condition of the mucous ^ A
membrane anywhere. I ha ve found It
the best remedy I have ever tried for
catarrh, and believing It worthy my
endorsement I gladly accdrd It."
Mrs. Elmer Fleming, orator of Reser-
voir Council No. 168, Northwestern Le*
gion of Honor, of Minneapolis, Minn,,
writes from 2535 Polk street, N. E.:
"I have been
troubled all my
life with catarrh
in my head. I
took Peruna for
about three
months, and now
think I am per-
manently cured.
I believe that for
catarrh in all its
forms Peruna is
the medicine of
the age. It cures
when all other remedies fail. X can
heartily recommend Peruna as a ca-
tarrh remedy"
The spring is the time to treat ca-
tarrh. Cold, wet winter weather often
retards a cure of catarrh. If a course of
Puruna is taken during the early spring
months the cure will be prompt and
permanent. There can be no failures if
Peruna is taken ' telligently during the

wherever it may be located. It cures ca-

that the young women who pay $5
each for a chance to wed and share
the proceeds of the raffle will feel
assured they have an equal chance to
win. To increase the raffling field,
also his chance of getting a young
woman for his wife, Dr. Winick has
placed the age limit for 18 to 30 years.
He still adheres to certain restric-
tions. These simply bar colored wo-
men and cripples. Any white girl be-
tween the ages of 18 and 30, in fairly
good health, is eligible to pay $5 for
a ticket and marry the doctor it she
wins.
Dr. Winnick believes that between
two and three thousand tickets will
be sold, so that he and the wife he ob-
tains will have $10,00 or $15,000 to
start them happily in their matri-
monial career.
"It is not necessary for the girl to
have any money on which to marry,"
said the doctor, "as the proceeds of
the raffle will be enough for both of
us."

effort would be made to have the
