THE ABSURD STORY ABOUT MR.. GOULD.

The story that Mr.. Gould had obtained con-
troll of the Atchison. Topeka and Sante Fe Rail
road by purchase of a majority of the stock or
by any other method too absurd to attract
any attention; and it did not attract any atten-
ton except as the orders of the authors of the
fiction that it be written up and that it be used
as an excuse for yesterdays late improvement

invented for the purpose of contradicting 1t, In
the vain hope that the contradiction would take
the edge off of an improvement in values, which

absurd story for an excuse at 2 o'clock had no
effect and was laughed at by every one cognizant
of the fact that the 1900 holders of Atchson
stock were scattered from the Pacific Coast Of
America, TO the eastern boundry of Germany.
