The stock market to-day was more active
than Yesterday, bat the improvement was
confined to some six or eight stocks. which
monopolized entirely the interest taken In
speculation. These were Reading, New Eng
land. Louisville and Nashville, Lackawanna,
Norfolk and Western preferred. East TenneS-
see first preferred, and New 1otk, Susque-
hanna and Western stocks. The remainder
were quiet. and in many cases even dull.
London was free buyer, and TAIL in sterl-

creasing the prevalent confidence on the
street by reason of Likelihood of increased
imports of gold, Reading was again active,
and furnished nearly one-fourtb of the total
DAVIS business. Its fluctuations were neither
wide nor violent, and all that affected its
prces was the oft reported assertion that the
REORGANIZATION plan was complete and would
be issued in few days. East Tennessee
stock was favorably affected by rumor that
a representative had acquired controlling
Interest in Norfolk and Western. This had
depressing effect upon Richmond and West
Point, which 1t was supposed would be lett
out. Both stories lack confirmation. The
movement in Louisville ana Nashville con-
timed to-day, its advance being almost
steady until The close. Foreign purchases
were very prominent in this stock. Lacka-
wanna displayed more than usual activity
and strength. The opening was decidedly
strong advances over last evenings figures
ranging up to "a per cent. Texas Pacific,
however, was a notable exception. being "a
per cent. lower. securities which were the
features OF the day were all prominent early.
and the general list was firm. There was the
usual decrease in activity towards noon in all
except Reading. There was fractional re-
action after 2 O'Clock. which was followed py
advances. The bidding up of money late in
the AT. ernoon had the effect OF depressing
prices in the last hour. and the market closed
generally heavy. The days business was
asa 600 shares. Almost everything is higher
this evening. The following are the closing

Mr.. J. H. Hamilton, of Cottage

w. T. McElroy was before the con.
test court Monday as q witness, and
called on the REGISTER after he had

says that Kansas is good enough for |
him. He reports Cy. Simpson doing |

Capt. Sawyer engaged in building a |

fine oranges as samples Of the fruit |

THE CONTEST.

The defense in the Benton-Ewing
contest rested their case last Tuesday,
and as no rebutting testimony was of
fered the case was closed as to every
thing except the argument. AS the
attorneys on both sides wanted some
time to prepare for this the Court adj
journed until next Monday.
Stated briefly, the trial may be sum-
med up as follows:
The plaintiff showed, by referring to
the ballots, that 20 votes were cast in
Deer Greek township for G. E. Benton
for county attorney instead of for pro-
bate judge, as the returns showed and
as the vote was counted. The returns
from all the other townships were then
submitted showing, prinaG facie that
Including the Deer Creek vote) Ben
toms majority in the county was 81,
and the plaintiff rested.
The defendant showed that there
were gross irregularities in the count
ing of the vote in Humboldt township;
said Irregularities being that the bal
lots were handled at different times in
the absence Of the judges, by persons
not authorized by law to do so. The
DallOtS IN all The townships were then
opened and it was found that 40 split
tickets had been cast. 1t was shown
that these split tickets were printed so
as to resemble as closely as possible the
straight republican ticket. 1t was
shown further that at every voting
place where these tickets were peddled
every effort was made to pass them to
the voter as straight republican tick
cts. With this the defense closed their
Ease and as no rebutting testimony
was offered, the Court adjourned, as
stated, till Monday, when the argu-
nents will be heard and judgment rem
Tered.
We are tempted to say q thing or
;w0 concerning the facts proven, butt
IS it would hardly be in good taste to
discuss the merits of the case while it
8 yet before the Court, we withhold
comment until next week.

A SUGGESTION.

The REGISTER frequently receives
calls from persons desiring employ
ment and sometimes also from persons
wanting work done. The idea has
suggested itself that we might make
ourselves useful perhaps by acting al a
"go-between" to bring these parties
together. At any rate we are willing
to try it, and If those wanting work
done, and those wanting to do work
will leave their applications at this Of
flee we will keep them on file and en-
deavor to have the respective wants
met. No charges will be made.

JOHN I. BROWN.

John L. Brown was born in Saline
county ILL.,, May 4, 1888. He livet
there until une 1855, when he removed
with his parents to Kansas, settling or
what has since been known as the
Cook place, q mile north east of lola
In August 1861 he enlisted in the army
and served until(April, '62, when he
was discharged for disability. It was
during this time while directing the
construction Of q culvert in Fort Lin,
coin, thathe received the hurt which
eventuaIly caused his death. After
returning from the army he was mar
ried in 1852, to Matilda J. Master.
soH, Of Garrett, and settled on the
Tplace now owned by Isaac McCloud,
where he lived until the death of his
wife some ten years ago. After selling
his farm he spent something over q
year on the Pacific coast, returning to
lola in 1878, where he has since lived.
He was married about six years ago to
Miss Matilda Doeier, of this county.
He served as under-sheriff during most
of the term of g. A. Riggs, from 1888 tn
1885, and proved himself so capable an
officer that he was elected as MI. Riggs
successor in 1884. The old bruise re-
ceived at Fort Lincoln first::began to
trout BILE him seriously about five years
ago.( 1t grew gradually worse until
within the past year it has confined
him to the house the greater part
of the time. Some months ago an
operation was performed upon it, and
it was hoped the trouble was overcome.
But the bone was too much diseased
and it was finally though: best, as not
ed in our last issue, to have the leg
amputated. The operation was appar-
emily successful, but a day or two after
1t was performed inflammation set in
from which the patient had not enough
vital power remaining to recover, and
after terrible suffering he was released
by death about $50 CLOCK Sunday morn
ing, Dec. L. The news of the death
will be received all over the county. as
1t was in lola, with q .:shock of regret,
for there were few men who had more
or truer friends than John L. Brown.
The sincere esteem in which he was
held, was amply testified by the unus-
ually large attendance at the funeral
