DUN’S WEEKLY REVIEW. ‘
An Increase in "Vases and '11! Ball-
road Earnfilgs Mark the Month.
New York, Dec. 4.—R. G. Dun & C03:
Weekly Review of Trade says: “The
monthly report of failures shows de.
.efaulted liabilities of $11,610,195 in No-
"“vember, against $12,700,856 last year
Because of three large failures for $3,-
“ 250,000, not due to present conditions
the aggregate 'in November was only
$1,100,000 less than'last year, and ex-
cept for these would have been smallei
than in August, September or Octoben
The decrease in nearly all branches 01
business shows that payments have
been remarkably good and defaults unx
usually small. ‘Other evidences of the
state of business are convincing, ex.
cept in speculatiVe lines. Wages have
been voluntarily advanced for nearly
thirty thousand workers inwoolens and
iron. Stocks are somewhat stronger.
having advanced $1.47 for railways and
$1.57 for trusts. The true value of Amer-
ican railway stocks is steadily rising
with earnings, which for NovembeI
thus far are 20.9 percent. larger than
last year, and 3.7 per cent, in the samI
weeks of 1892.
The boot and shoe manufacture has
shipped from Boston 108,429 cases, 01
over 35 per cent. more than in 1892 dur-
ing the month of November.
The voluntary advance of 20 per cent
in wages of worsted workers at Provi-
dence, restoring the rates of 1893, is evi-
dence of" the prosperity of that manu-
- facture. After much hesitation in otheI
branches, which may be justified, this
important department of the woolen in-
dustry puts itself at the front, virtually
declaring its ability to face any foreign
competition.
The wheat market has deceived
everybody, dropping in the face of ar.
enormous foreign demand just when
some advance might reasonably have
been anticipated. But in the long run
the outward movement will affect
prices, although the surprisingly large
increase at the West indicates a con-
siderably greater yield than has beer.
anticipated. So the enormous receipts
of cotton from plantations, exceeding
those to date from the great crop 01
I-about ten million bales in 1894, tends to
check all speculation, although botl.
foreign and domestic demands for
spinners have been materially re
stricted. .
Nothing appears to indicate any
probable stringency in the money mar-
ket, and the demand for commercial
loans is still remarkably light, with re.
ceipts from the interior exceeding ship-
ments by over two million dollars. The
heavy excess is largely due to extreme
ly favorable collections in all parts oi
the country, and also to shipments
hithertomeet the very heavy disburse-
;ments on railway and other accounts

against '379 last year, and twenty-eight
in Canada, against fifty-five last year.
fpueR-ANT'S LAST CHANCE GONE.
G_onc_lusive.Proot that Blanther Did
Not Murder Blanche Lamont. '
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 4.—Joseph E. Elan.
ther, better known as Arthur 1).
Forbes, who was manager and proprie-
tor of the Southern Purchasing Agency
of Atlanta, and who recently commit-
ted suicide in a county jail in Texas,
‘ was in Atlanta on the day when the
murder of Miss Blanche Lamont and
Miss Minnie Williams occurred in San
Francisco. The statement is made by
persons in Atlanta who knew Forbes
, well and who had business dealings
with him, and to support their state
ments the books and records .which
were in Forbes’ office here have been
consulted, and it is shown that between
April 1 and April 14, 1895, the time ol
the two murders in San Francisco,
Forbes was there and doing business
with Kelly Bros. & Co., and other firms.
If these statements be true, and there
appears no reason to doubt the proofs
submitted, Forbes, alias Blanther.
could not have possibly been the mur-
derer of the young girls, and the decla-
ration made in a written confession ad-
mitting that he killed the young wom-
en, is false. ,.
Mrs. Blanther, the widow of the sul~
cide, has been exerting every energy
and effort to show that her husband
was the real murderer, and that Theo-
dore Durrant, now under sentence oi -
death for the crime, is an innocent
- man. ‘Mrs. Blanther, who was deceived
by her husband, is doubtless sincere in
what she says, but her whole course 01
action is based Upon the alleged writ-
ten confession which, it is said, was
mound upon the person of: Blanthei
when he committed suicid in the
Texas jail. :
“naked His Strained Leg .
Berkeley, 03]., Dec. 4.-——E. B. Hinman
a sophomore in the University of Cali-
fornia, has had his leg baked in an
oven at a temperature of 300 degrees
Fahrenheit to cure a sprain. This is St
degrees higher than the temperature 01
boiling water, twice the heat at which
meat is ordinarily roasted for the table.
The sprain disappeared with wonderful
rapidity; The injured limb was treated
..in a Specially prepared apparatus con-
- slsting of a copper cylinder resting on
iron supports, with a gas burned un.
derneath.
Hinman’s leg was wrapped in absorb-
ent cotton and placed in the cylinder,
with non-conducting rubber bags clos-
ing the interior so that the heat could
not escape. After three bakings the
sprain was entirely cured.
The Potato Blter Bit.
Denver, 001., Dec. 4.-—The farmers
of Colorado are disgppointed at the
failure of an attempt to corner the po- .
tato market. The chief market for the
crop has been in Texas and Southern
points. This year, when it was reported
that there was a shortage in the East-
ern crop, the potato growers decided
to raise the price of the crop out oi
sight. To-day they are trying to find a
demand for the potatoes, and the rail-
roads in Colorado that formerly han-
dled from thirty to forty'carloads a day
for five months of the year find that
traffic gone.
The business has been captured by.
the farmers of 'Minnesota. who are n w
supplying the South with tubers at 20
cents per hundred less than the Colo-
rado farmers. ' ~
Jackson will Fight Again.
_ San FranciSco, Dealt—Peter Jackson
and Jim Jeffries have, agreed" to fight
twenty rounds before the Occidental'
Club, at the Mechanics’ Pavilion. ‘early
in February, ..for 75‘ per cent. of the re-
ceipts. .The' two heavy-weights will

.You can tell just as well as a physi-
cian whether your kidneys are dis
' eased or healthy. The way to do is to
take a. bottle or glass tumbler, and fill .
it with urine. If there is a sediment——
a powderlike substance—at the bottom
after standing a day and night, there
is something wrong with the kidneys.
Another sure sign of disease is a desire
to urinate often, and still another sign
is pain in the back. If urine stains-
linen, there is no doubt that the kid-
. neys are affected. ' I '
Any and all diseases of the kidneys,
3 liver, bladder and of the urinary pas-
sages and co nslipaiicn of Ihe bowel
are cured by Dr. David Kennedy’s
, Favorite Remedy. There is no ques-
tion about its being the best and surest
1 medicine in the world for such trouble.
. It quickly releves and cures inability
‘ to hold urine, and people, young or old,
who take it are not compelled to get
up a number of times during the night.
For putting an end to that scalding
pain experienced in passing urine.
nothing is so good as Dr. David Ken-
nedy’s Favorite Remedy. It corrects
the-badfeflfects of Whiskey audibeer; is
pleasant to the taste, and does not
seem to be medicine at all. Diseases
of the kidneys and bladder often . re-
quire the use of instruments to push
back the sandy matter so the urine can
be avoided. In ‘such cases’ Favorite
Remedy should be taken without fur-
Ither delay or the disease may "prove
fatal. It is sold for one dollar a bottle
at all drug stores. It is well worth
many times its price.

If you wish to test Dr. David Ken-
nedy’s Favorite Remedy before buying
