St. Paul rained all and more than Its early fractional loss. Sugar promptly, advanced lornewhat over 1 per cent. Manhattan, Missouri Pacific and others of the Gould p*oup were decidedly firm. In less than ten minutes of trtading subsequently all it the international list had regained its tally losses. St. Paul and L. and N. de- &.*> reloped decided strength, B.

The bull pool in sugar put that up

per cent. The speculation is

rsetrieted as regards dealings, but the undertone is firm in further forecasts from Washington, indicating that the president's message would not be objectionable to the street. Government bonds were unchanged,

Directs That No Attention Be Given Matters That Should Come Before Justices. -J

The grand jury for the December term of the Circuit was sworn in and instructed by Judge Piety at the convening of court this morning. In giving instructions, the judge warned the jurors as to the significance of the oath they had taken and cautioned them particularly about the secrecy as to the deliberations. He told them that, the secrecy was for the protection of the court and the parties being investigated' in the event they should tie found to be innocent of any wrong doing. He directed that the prisoners in jail charged with felony, should be taken up first, and indictments, brought immediately, so they could be given a triill. He reminded the jurors that if the prisoners were guilty they should be given a trial and not be held ,it- the expense of the tax-payers and that if they were not guilty, tliey were entitled to their liberty at tlie earliest possible moment. He warned them to bo careful that each indictment was warranted by the testimony of witnesses. and thus avert any expensive" trial when there was no probability of conviction. He also told them to give no attention to matters, of "misdemeanors, for which a fine by a justice of the teace is prescribed-by the law. He instructed them to carefnllV investigate all the county offices, and to take groat care in investigating the iail and all other of the county's institutions, and to mort such investigations with an.v snnrestioij% they micrht desire to mnk\ to th" oourt.

For years I had been a sufferer with chronic stomach, trouble, pressure of ga# and distress of my bowels. I contracted what the doctors pronounced a. low type of malaria. I could not take solid food at all and only a very little of the lightest of diet, would create fever and vomiting. The druggist sent me a box of Ripans Tabules saying he sold more Ripans than anything else for stomach trouble. I not only found relief, but believe I have been permanently cured.
