The following clipping from the greatest musical paper in America, the American Musician, speaks for itself:

 NEW YORK. May 5. To-days market was a continuation of the reac- ton that set in about the middle of the week. The trading more animated than yesterday, the ef- forts to depress prices pronounced, the selling more clearly professional, and support, except in few cases, more conspicuous by its absence. The exceptionally strong stocks were Louisville Nash vile, Reading and Northern Pacific preferred, and the last influenced similar movement in Oregon Transcontinental. The most pronounced weakness was developed in New England in connection with cumulative evidence that an amalgamation of the Stonington line with the New York, New Haven & Hartford company is under way. The market ig- nored better prices for American securities in Lon don.

Rock Island daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1886-1893, 1888-05-17

Mr.. Sam Davis, of the Merchants
Electric Light company, which operates
its tri-city plant by means of the Moline
water power, has caused an exhibition to
be made Of the actual damages done TO
the bulk head washed away last Friday
He found that the appearances on the
surface of the water were practically IA
correct Indication of the condition OF the
wall from top to bottom that is. that
the five hundred foot gap, is a gap all the
way down. The manner of the test was
as follows: Three scantlings were
weighted at one end, and so affixed to
floats at the other that they would float
vertically in the water, going down stream
with the current. Each Of these was
allowed to protrude above its float
and above the surface of the water about
two feet, so that should the lower
end strike any portion of the wall, the
upper or protruding end would tilt.
eleven feet below the surface, another
thirteen feet, and the third fifteen feet
below the surface. These were placed
in the river some distance above the
break in the wall, and some distance
apart. All sailed gracefully down over
the dam site, without fitting. But when
about two hundred feet below, they be-
gan bowling, indicating where detached
piles of the stone had lodged in the river
bottom.
This definitely negatives any lingering
idea that there still remains enough of the
wall to afford water power as soon as
the river should fall to an ordinary
stage. 1t is safe to say that there isn't
two feet of the wall left intact in the
bottom of the water.

stranger the impression that business is
everlastingly booming. Just about half
the time the cars are empty, but the COM
pany loses no money, for the voluntary
public contribution of 1915 a week is a
good guaranty. 1t is by such means as
this that Wichita has been made to boom.
We have a hotel out there that is big
enough for St. Louis; it doesn't pay and
