Stock Exchange.

NEW YORK. July 3.-The bank statement
to day showed the effects Of the out going OF
gold for the last week and the surplus reserve
was reduced over s2.00O.OO0 but this and the
further taking OF 81 go 90 gold for export failed
to have depressing effect upon the stock mar
ket. The dissolution OF the injunction restrain
ing the Western National bank from paying the
dividends OF the American Sugar Refining COM
pany gradually helped that stock up. The
strength displayed may with truth, be ascribed
in part to the announcement that the AZ per
cents would be extended. The opening showed
slight raise over last nights final
prices, the upward movement made
steady progress throughout the day
and the grangers, Missouri Pacific Sugar
and specialtes were prominent for ad-
vances made toward the close of business. The
market finally closed firm and strong, at the
best prices OF the day. St. Paul, Louisville and
Northern Pacific preferred. are up ~, Union
Pacific like amount; Southern Pacific rs,
Wheeling & Lake Erie and Missouri Pacific rs
and Rock Island. Pacific Mall Wabash pre-
ferred, each per cent.

ANEW BANK Sure This Time.

Mr.. Henry L. Rozier. of Ste. Gene
We've, has been in the city a day or
two talking to our people about a new
bank here. and we understand he is
meeting with considerable encourage
ment. We are told that forty thou
sand dollars has been subscribed by
the business men of this city and
others who have not yet been asked
to take stock have expressed them
selves as ready TO subscribe as soon as
they r called upon.
a new bank has been talked of for
a long time and several attempts have
been made 10 organize one but they
all fell through. This time. however,
we are assured that a bank will be es-
tablishcd, and it will be a National
Bank at that. If such small towns as
Jackson and Morley can support q
bank we see no reason why Cape
Girardeau cannot support two banks

marvel Of taste combined with utility;
an ornament pleasing::to the eye, and
bespeaks comfort, cleanliness aud con-
venience at a minimum of labor for
the housewife. We want to see more
OF these beautiful structures go up in
this city as they prove that we have
got mel of modern taste domiciled
amongst us.

Of Interest TO Teachers.

To The Teachers Of Cdpc GiTurieaH Co..
The meeting of the National Edu'
cational Association for this year will
he held III Toronto. Canada, July II
to II. and bids fair to be the most in.
tcresting session in the history of the
Association.
Very cheap rates have been secured
and everything has been done that
NAV serve to secure the comfort and
enjoyment OF the teachers who will
attend. The railroad fare will not be
more than S27. a single fare for the
round trip, tickets will be good re-
turning until Sept. 30th.
Thus a fine opportunity will be az
forded to take, at a comparatively
small expense. a trip which will be
not only profitable from an educa-
tional standpoint, but also enjoyable
to a high degree.
The work done by the n. f. A. has
resulted in great good to the schools
of our country and also to the pro-
gressive teachers. individually, who
have attended its meetings.
Believing that the time and money
expended will prove a judiciOus and
profitable investment TO you, we want
YOU to coIne and help us in the good
work.
If YOU conclude to go, please in
form Inc and | shall send you all the
information that may be useful TO
YOU. To make the trip to Toronto as
pleasant as possible, the teachers of
this district should go in a body, and
| in order to be able to make the ar
rangcmcnts with this end in view, il
is necessary that | should know the
number and names of those who in
tend to go.
Very Respectfully,

Thieves Make a Raid.

Wednesday night thieves broke into
Fritz Wittmor's saloon OH the corner
of Harmony and Frederick streets and
proceeded to 90 through the house in
search of money and valuables. Mr..
Wittmor resides in the second story
of his saloon building. and after the
thieves had examined the cash draw
ers in the saloon and went through
the safe they went up stairs and
searched all the rooms. They went
into Mr.. With. or's bed room and took
from his pants pocket about one hum
dred dollars-all the money he had in
the house. Mr.. WittmOr's revolver
was taken from a table near his bed
and laid Oh the floor in another room.
Nearly all the jewelry belonging to
the women folks was also taken.
The thieves got into the house by
pushing out a piece of plank that was
used as a substitute for a glass in the
west door of the saloon. The door
was locked and the key left in on the
inside, and after the piece of plank
was removed, there was nothing to
do TO effect an entrance but to reach
in and unlock the door. They I'M
doubleday supposed that there was
money in the safe in the saloon. for
they pulled the safe out. and in doing
so tipped it over far enough for the
door, which was not locked, to swing
open. The cash drawer in the safe
was locked and this they opened with
a large chiscl. The safe drawer and
the counter drawer they carried
away; but the counter drawer was
found in W. ii. Coerver's lot Thurs
day morning. The chisel used in
opening the draw ers was left i'll the
saloon.
Everything goes to show that there
were at least two of the thieves in the
house and their work was the work
of experts.
