The little key that opens the small pad
lock is the real thing that opens the massive
door. The door that will withstand the at
tack of a crowbar opens readily with the
proper use of a key one-thousandth part as
big and strong. Big- things are not always
, the most ttseful or the most effective. Dr.
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are little, so small
that forty of them w jll go into a vial no larger
round than a lead "pencil and two inches
long. They are tiny, sugar-coated granules,
but they do their work more effectively than
nauseous doses a hundred times their bulk.
They are for the cure of constipation. They
I cure the hundred and one symptom of con
stipation. They cure headaches, bilious
ness, sour stnach, foul breath, heart-burn,
.-. palpitation of the heart and pimples, and
Jhey assist in the cure of almost every dis
ease with which mankind is afflicted. No
one can get well unless the regular, healthy
action of the digestive organs is restored.
The " Pellets " will do this. One little
" Pellet " is a gentle laxative and two a mild
cathartic. Without causing any pain, grip
ing or any other unpleasantness, they will
restore the natural action of the bowels, and
"when this is done their use may be discon
tinued. They are not ment to' supersede
Nature, but to help her, and that is all she
nee.ds. There are druggists who fdr the sake
of a slightly greater profit, will endeavor to
sell you something else which they say is
"just as good." They are trying to make
a profit at the expense of your health.
For the physiology of women, in health and dis
ease, read Dr. Pierce's great work, the " Common
Sense Medical Adviser." A copy, paper-covered,

three dollars in round numbers, and'
with this statement the story of the
pecuniary success of the orphanage

pronounced a success it is possible 4o
make an affair of this kind. A num

New York Stock Market.
New York, December 28. Stocks dur
ing the early hours of business were
quiet and heavy, lower quotations from
London and the bank troubles at the
west iiaving been the disturbing fac
tors. At one time it was announced
from Chicago that the Dime Savings
bank, of that city and suspended, but
this was subsequently denied.. The
pressure to sell was not pronounced by
any means. After the publication of
the November report of the Burlington
and Quincy the market developed in
creased weakness. The statement of
the company showed a decrease in net
earnings of $195,735, and a decrease in
surplus after charges, of $202,780. Bur
lington and Quincy naturally scored
the heaviest loss in the railway list and
fell from 70 to 68. St. Pul reacted
to 72, and Rock Island 1 to 64.
Northwestern and Omaha were practi
cally unchanged. Consolidated Gas
was the feature of the industrial group,
and broke from 141t to 13694, with a late
rally to 139. The fselling of this stock
was due to the revival of the reports
of $1.00 gas. Sugar held tolerably firm,
considering all talk about a war with
the Arbuckles.i The losses in the gen
eral list were unimportant. In the last
hour of trading, the market developed
firmness on efforts to cover short sales
made early in the day. Sugar and
Reading were the notably firm stocks,
the last named having been strengthen
ed bv the announcement of the payment
of the January interest in general 4's
and the reported improvement in an
traeite coal conditions. The rally in
prices ranged from to IV per cent.
Speculation closed quiet and firm in
tone. Net changes' show gains of to
7i per cent. -in Reading, Manhattan and
Sugar, and losses of about as much in
the usually active stocks. Burlington
and Quincy was an exception, and lost
1 per cent, on the day. Total sales
were, only 100,804 shares, including 27,
"'00 Burlington and Quincy. 12,700 Sug
ar, and 11.800 St. Paul. Bonds were
irregular.1 The sales footed up $956,000.
Cotton Fntureg.
; (Special to The Messenger.)
New York, December 28. Cotton to
day reached the lowest prices thus far.
March opened at 6.96 and declined slow
ly and stubbornly to 6.85, closing at 6.85
to 6.88, but with the tone steady at the
decline. As the market goes down the
bull feeling is increasing, but a lack of
outride orders and the boldness of a
few local bears caused prices to give
sway. Tomorrow is notice day in Jan-
uary deliveries; out il is iuuusui uiai
the January holdings have been pretty
wejl liquidated and nobody here would
be surprised to see the market turn
with the closing year. If cotton is not
now at the bottom, it certainly cannot
be far from it. We believe that it is
a good time to buy. RIORDAN & CO.
(By Southern Press.)
New York, December 28. The Sun's
cotton review says: Spot cotton here
declined l-16c, with sales of 653 bales
for export, 68 for spinning and 600 de
livered on contract. Middling uplands
was 7 5-16c, against 8c last year; New
Orleans and gulf 7 5-16c, against 84b
last year. Disappointed at the failure
of the promised decreased movement
to the ports and interior towns to ma
terialize, -tired longs sold .out today,
causing the break in prices. Liverpool
started the decline by sending depress
ing cables, and in the absence of sup
port, prices receded and closed at
about the lowest figures of the day.
Liverpool "did very little here today.
New Orleans both bought and sold,-but
the trading was in the main of a local
character. The receipts, while still
large, were somewhat smaller than in
the previous week, and the total for the
week at the ports is now estimated at
225,000 bales. The worst feature of Jthe
situation, however, is the absence of
outside support. There was some new
huying at the decline today, but not
"sufficient to produce " a rally. The
quantity to come in sight this week
is estimated at 275,000 bales, against
337,000 last week.
rh Chicago Market.
Chicago, December 28. Affairs on the
board of trade were very quiet today,
but the wheat market presented, with
al, a firm tone, prices showing little
dispositon to yield to selling. The ab
sence of Liverpool quotations v a
serious drawback, tending to some
what curtail business and to restrain
the strong sentiment in favor of higher
prices. Towards the close some H
quieting rumors touching ft local bank
were in circulation, causing prices to
recede. Cash wheat was steady with
out particular change in price.
The corn market had nothing to rec
ommend it to attention or to observa
tion. The principal dealings, and they
were small, were for the account - lo
cal scalpers and floor traders. The
strength of wheat contributed to the
steadiness of prices. Cash corn was
easy to c lower.
The course of the oats market de
pended solely on that of the other
grains. The range of prices permitted
of but slight opportunity for remuner
ative transactions. Cash oats were
easy and 14 to c lower.
The hog market made an advance of
5c this morning and product reflected
the improvement promptly. There was
very little trading and nothing of inter
est developed. May pork closed a shade
higher, May lard and ribs each 2c
higher. ...- . (
Germany and the United States.
(Baltimore Sun.)
The Paris dispatch to The London
Times, representing that Germany
would intervene and assist Spain in the
event of war between the latter coun-,
try and the United States, is probably
without foundation. - Several months
ago our state department sounded, the
European' powers and received assur
ances that Europe would maintain
strict neutrality in the event of trouble
with Spain. There is no reason to be
lieve that anything has occurred to
change the attitude of any of the pow
ers since then, although " The London
Times' Paris correspondent announces,
with impressive seriousness, that Ger
many is prepared to make common
cause with Spain if the Cameron reso
lutions should be passed by congress
and be put into execution by the pres
ident, tuban independence will hardly
be recognized .by the present adminis
tration, but the alleged warning of Ger
many or of any other European power
will not influence this government. In
fact, it might be unfortunate foir Spain
if it were true that shejiad sought and
secured the assistance pf Germany to
make war upon us if we intervene in
Cuba. The conservative element of this
country, which is now in favor of main
taining the status quo in Cuba, as the
president has recommended, would not
tolerate a threat from any quarter, and
neither would the president, for that
matter, so that the suggestion of Euro
pean . interference, if it had any effect
whatever upon the situation, would
probably be of a character not to be de
sired by Spain.
There are many reasons whv Ger
many should not do what the Paris dis
patch to The London Times represents
her as willing to do under certain cir
cumstances. It is true that she has
large commercial interests in Cuba in
sugar and tobacco, but these are
scarcely a drop in the bucket compared
with the interests of German capitalists
in the United States, not to enumerate
the immense holdings of German
American citizens of this country.
Moreover, Germany has a . merchant
marine which has grown to. great di
mensions in the past few years, keep
ing pace with the marvelous develop
ment of German manufactures and the
extension of German commerce. "yVar
with the United States would mean waf
upon German capital invested in this
country, upon the property of hundreds
of thousands of American eitizens of
German descent, and last, but not least,
the loss of all of the .business with
Cuba. Germany's principal loss, how
ever, would be the damag inflicted upT
on its merchant marine. It has not a
navy euffflcient to protect its shipping
interests, which would be at the mercy
of the privateers fitted out in the
United States to prey upon its com
merce. A blow would be dealt from
which Germany could not recover for
many years, and Great Britain, of
which it is now aformidablecommercial
rival in nearly all the markets of the
world, would become so firmly estab
lished that there would be little hope
for German industries in the future.
For these reasons it is not likely that
Germany will give any substantial aid
to Spain if the latter should ever in
come involved in war with the United
States. However much Emperor Wil
liam, the "War Lord" of Europe, may
be itching ot give his army and navy
congenial employment, he will not un
dertake, to fight Spain's battles when
he has nothing to gain and sp. much to
lose by intervention. And even if his
fondness for war were to override his
prudence, he would find himself oppos
ed by the strong common sense and
conservatism of the German people,
who have no desire to enter into a con
flict with their own kin on this side of
the Atlantic. Moreover, war with the
United States .would be an invitation to
France to step in and regain the lost
provinces of Alsace and Lorralne.which
is the dream of every Frenchman.
Consequently, the statement from Paris
that Germany contemplates making
war upon the United States if our gov
ernment recognizes Cuba is discredited
upon any reasonable hypothesis, and
carries its denial upon its face. Ger
many, is too busy extending its commerce-
and developing its manufactures
to think of hostilities with the United
States, even in a better cause 'and with
greater provocation.

Durham Sun: Mrs. W. R. Beasley, of

one of the kind that folds twice, and
when it is all done up it makes a very

not know it was used for a bed. Sun
day : morning it was down, spread out,
and Mrs. Beasley was engaged in ar
ranging some part of the bed, near the
middle, when, from some cause, it
suddenly shut! up, like a jack knife,
and gave Mrs. Beasley -a severe lick
across the- head and shoulders, com
pletely prostrating her for some little
time. Dr. A. G. Carr was called in and
administered medical relief. - She wasj
confined to her bed all day yesterday
and part of today. She is now some
what better and is slowly recovering
from the shock the jar gave her nerves.

- Paying Teller Bosch Disappears.
Chicago, December 28. A special from
St. Paul, Minn., says; Leander Bosch,
paying teller of the suspended Bank of
Minnesota, has disappeared. He was
last seen a few hours after the bank's
suspension last Tuesday. JVIr. Bosch
prepared Thursday to place his ac
counts in the hands of the public ex
aminer. When the receiver took
charge, however, he w-as informed that
an item in the accounts of the paying
teller could not be satisfactorily under
stood without a personal explanation
from Mr. Bosch. The discrepancy
amounts to between $1,000 and $2,000,
and is so small that the assets of the
bank are not affected. The sum, in
deed, is so trivial that it is believed Mr.
Bosch could readily replace it from his
personal means should the omission
be not explained by a re-checking
of the books. The disappearance of
the paying teller arouses great anxiety
among his relatives and immediate
friends.
Fire in a Church at Wilson.
(Correspondence of The Messenger.)
Wilson, N. C. December 28.
While people were returning home
from church yesterday the alarm was
given that the Disciples church was
on fire. Both fire companies quickly
responded, reaching there just in time
to see the blaze as it was bursting
through th walls and roof. Without
delay, a flood of water was poured upon
the building from the hose pipes. Soon
the floor inside was hoe deep with
water. The smoke was intense. By
desperate efforts the Are was gotten un
der control and the building saved. The
damage, however, was great, reaching
perhaps over $1j000, partly covered by
insurance. The fire originated from the
furnace beneath the church, and had
gotten considerable headway before it
was discovered.
Until the church is repaired the Dis
ciples congregation, will worship in the
Baptist church, an invitation having
beeh extended to them before the fire
was extinguished.

P. P. P., Lippman'8 Great Remedy, Saves
a Man From Becoming a Cripple.
Mr. Asa Amnions, a. well-known
citizen of Jacksonville, Florida, was
afflicted by a terrible ulcer. Medical
skill seemed unavailing in stopping the
ravages of the terrible disease. The
was swollen and intensely painful,
as the ulcer had eaten its way. down
to tfle very bone. All medicines and
treatments having failed to effect a
cure, the doctors said the leg must
come off. Just when it seemed that
Mr. Ammons would become a disabled
and a crippled man, he tried P. P. P.,
Lippman's Great Remedy, and the re
sult was wonderful.
P. P. P. SAVES HIS LEG.
-" Jacksonville, Fla., July 1, 1895.
Two years ago I had the worst ulcer
on my leg 1 ever saw. It had eaten
down to the bone, and my whole leg
below my knee, and my foot was
swollen and inflamed. The bone was
swollen and painful, and discharged a
most offensive matter. My physicians
said I had necrosis pf the bone, and
my leg would, have to come off. At
this stage I commenced to take P. P. P.
and to bathe my leg with hot castile
soap suds. 1 It began to improve at
once and healed rapidly, and is to-day
a sound and useful leg.
"I think P. P. P., Lippman's Great
Remedy, is all a man could ask for as
a blood purifier, as I have known it to
cure so meterrible cases of blood poi
soning in a remarkably short time.
"ASA AMMONS."
TERRIBLE BLOOD POISON.
The body covered with sores two
bottles of P. P. P. made a positive and
permanent cure. This is only one of
many thousand similar cases.
Catarrh yields at once to P. P. P.
That smothered feeling at night, that
heavy feeling in the day can and
should be removed ; P. P. P. will do it
if yon only give it a chance.
Indigestion and constipation go hand

appetite are the results. Regulate
