NEW YORK. October 5. The market to-day opened heavy and lower in sympathy with the lower London market, but strong stone was immediately developed. At chison bore the brunt of the early pressure, but the entire list moved up slowly with here and there were more marked advances, principally among the specialties. The nickel plates, Rock Island, Burlington and Missouri Pacific rose over one per cent each. Prices slowly crept up in the general list until toward o'clock when the high est figures of the day were attained. Then rumor of new issue of stock on Hooking Valley caused a drop of nearly 11a per cent. in tn at stock and fractional concessions followed all along the line. Hooking Valley, however, after ward recovered all it's loss and the general list steadied. Among the strong stocks was Louis vile, New Albany and Chicago. The market closed dul but steady at close to the best figures of the day.
 Railroad bonds remain firm without material change of note among the leading issues. The total sales were only $S94ooo, of which $151 ,ooo were in Atchison incomes

 Charles Benham has started the foundation of fine new house to be built on Dixwell avenue Irwin Bronson has the builders contract.
 Friend Gibbard has received many congratula. hons on his election as one of the selectmen of the town.
 The election Monday was quite an exciting one. The license question and the houses of ill repute helped to intensity the interest. The time is fast approaching when, if the farmers of the northern sections are not more alive, the Ham burg element will rule the town. There is nc question but that the strength of the liquor vote IS there already. There never was a time wher the presence of the s'steadier'' element at the polls was more needed. No man who has "con victions is doing his duty if he neglects to vott them.

WANDERED FRON HOME.

Little Pearl Ward, a 6-year-old girl,
whose parents live on North Walnut
street, West Side, wandered away from her
home shortly after breakfast yesterday
morning and was not found until s 10 clock
in the evening. Her long absence natur-
ally caused her parents great deal of
anxiety. The police were notified and a
search instituted. but all in vain. No
where could the little one be found. 1t
was somewhat providential that she was
saved from being out all night. She was
seen out at Paramount by a gentleman
whose name could not be learned, who
was attracted by her cries. He inquired
what her name was and where TO find her
home. She could not answer the latter
question. so the gentlemen telephoned po-
lice Headquarters and an officer was up to
bring her down. When she arrived az the
station her appearance gave evidence that
she had been crying for some time and
was very much scared. She said she had
walked all the way from her home tc

Autiouity of Fishing.

Probably no branch Of industry can
lay claim to greater antiquity than that
of fishing. Its origin would seem TO be
coeval with the earliest efforts of human
ingenuity, for the Oldest monuments CT

and even those tribes of savages which
have learned neither TO keep focks nor

eastern Mediterranean was begun with
fishing. Sidon, which means 1.-The fish

and its enterprising inhabitants devoted
their attention mainly TO the collection
OF certain kind Of moIusks, from which
they prepared the famous Tyraa pur-

WOODLANDS BANK.

AS appeared by legal notice in these col
umns few days ago, U. S. Grant Wood
man and A. A Hyde have been duly con-
firmed administrators of the estate of w.
G. Woodman Jointly these men will
have control Of closing up the affairs OF the
First Arkansas Valley bank, and have al
ready entered upon the discharge OF their
duties.
The appointment of Mr.. Woodman and
Mr. Hyde was urged upon Judge Buckner
by large majority of the creditors OF the
bank. Mr.. Woodman, from his
long familiarity with the business
in his fathers bank, is better fitted than
any stranger could be, to know just what
the assets are worth and the best means
of collecting them. Mr.. Hyde having
had twenty years or more experience IN
the banking and loan business here, and,
being successful business man in every
way, is well qualified to take hold Of the
bank and assist in winding up its affairs.
That both men have the confidence of the
community goes without saying They

AS it is generally we'll known the assets
Of the estate consist largely OF real estate,
mortgages and judgments, and while these
are hard to realize upon at this time, con-
servative judges have said there is amply
sufficient, if not forced upon the market,
to fully pay the creditors.
The administrators desire to say that
all persons having claims against the bank
for deposits, drafts or bills, present them at
once at the bank for allowance when certlf1-

JAKE KELLER SUICIDES.
He Kills Himself in a oment Of Desponcency
in Room Near Five Points.

A pistol shot which rang out on yester-
day mornings air sent to the great beyond
the soul of Jake Keller. The revolver was
fired by his own hand. 3S caliber' Ameri-
can Bull Dog make, the ball entering his
right temple and coming out back of his
left ear The scene of this horrible deed
was in a room in the second story of a
house kept by Alice Connolly, on East
Waterman street near the Santa F'e rail-
road track. in which house he had been
boarding since the middle part Of last
February.
The deceased was driver of baggage
wagon for the Wichita Transfer & Car
riago Co. and was well known. He was al
ways considered a steady young man
and we'll liked by those with whom he
came in contact. Early yesterday morn
ing he went ont to his work, as usual, and
drove his wagon to the Missouri Pacific
trains. He then went tc barber shop IN
this city, where some one remarked that
he looked unusually sad. He replied that
he was in bad humor but would not re-
main so all day. From the barber shop
Keller went to his boardingplace, where
he found the inmates, Alice Con-
nelly and man, her lover, who had ar
rived that morning, at breakfast. He was
informed of her intention of marrying the
man, whose name, it has developed,
is C. a Wall. former lover
of Cyclone" as she is called.
This seemed to make no visible
impression upon the man but asked Alice
to come up stairs with him to get him
some socks. She informed him where he
could find them. At this he muttered
something and went up stairs into his
room, slaming the door after him. A
shot was heard Immediately after. The
woman says, did not go up stairs as she had
seen such thing before. Sergeant Bedford
Woods shortly arrivhd upon the scene
and broke open the door found the mas as
described.
The coroner was Immediately notified
who empanelled jury consisting of six
men. At the inquest nothing new was
developed and the verdict was that the
man, Jake Keller, came to bis death by q
pistal ball fired by his OWL hand.
The reasons assigned for the rash act
differ. Some claim that he was Jealous al
her getting married. This. however, the
woman stoutly denies She said that he
had been downcast and Respondent fol
some time which she believed had been
caused by letters he had received from
former girl of his, now out of the city.
Alice Connolly informed the EAGLE rep
resentative last night that her name had
been changed to Wall, the wedding cere

day evening.

this park was completely destroyed by
prairie fire, which started in neighbor-
ing field. A farmer living about half a
mile from the place had, on the proceeding
Thursday, set fire to an old straw stack TO
get it out Of the way. He thought that
the fire was out when he left it, but the
high wind of Sunday blew the ashes off
the top and scattered some of the slumber-
ing embers beneath through the dry grass,
starting the fire. 1t is said that all of the
trees in the park were totally ruined, and
will have to be cut down. The pleasant
picnicing place will be very much missed
by the neighboring farmers during the
coming summer, as it was their hot
weather holiday resort.
Adjoining the park was cemetery OF
five acres. The fire also swept over this,
burning all trees and shrubbery in it. and
blackening many of the tombstones, the
mortar around some of which was SO
baked that it broke apart and allowed
