estin g County Subjects. ,
The April session of the board of su pervis-
ors was commenced yesterday morning with
Chairman +. G., Hetzel aud Members Charles
Alexan der Alexander Osler, A. C. Ora IAN
and August Bostedt present After some
routine business had been transacted the
question of county bridges was taken up.
The bond Of d. S. McCannon for the faithful
performance of his duty was approved, and
the chairman was instructed TO sign his con-
tract for the building of the county bridges.
The auditor read his rep ort with regard to
the 'swamp-lands the controversy as TO
which was pu bished some weeks ago. He
stated that he had inv sstgated the matter as
he had been instructed and had found the
total amount of land claimed by the county
under the "Swamp-land Act to be So, $50
acres, according to the returns made by the
county surveyor, Samuel f. Watts, under
| authority Of the county judge In 1853. or
| these there were l5, $50 acres which had never
| been conveyed, and all or nearly all Of
| this amount was occupied by persons
| who traced their titles to preemptions. He
| had been unable to find that the government
had ever reimbursed the county for the lands
| which. had been conveyed in that way, and
| he believed that the county had claim on
the government for whatever amounts may
| have been received from the sale of the lands.
HE had his list of lands compared with the
| returns which had been made to the state
land Office and he found that all the returns
had been made correctly. He recommended
that the board take further steps toward
securluga settlement from the government.
1t was not decided what steps should be
| taken TO get satisfaction from the govern
ment, but il will be decided before the ses-
| sioh closes
A tabulated statement was laid before the
board, which had been made up by the secre-
| tary of state in accordance With the decision
| of the state executive council at its meeting
in Des Mones last month, with reference 10

on the evening when the murder was sup
posed to have been committed, within half a
mile of the fatal spot, and urging his COM
panion, who was under the influence of
liquor onward to what proved to be his
death. An indictment was found against
Brown Of murder IN the first degree, and he
was tried. Circumstantial evidence was
very strong against him, he was aquitted:
II was rumored on the street yester day
that Brown wanted 10 make confessi On a
few hours before his death, after he had been
given up by his physician Inquiry, how
ever, failed TO show any foundation for the
rumor. DR.. Birstow, who attended the dead
man in his last illness, stated that he aid not

been accused OF the crime until the day be-

FINANCaAL.
New York.

New YORK, Aug. 1.-The stock market to-
day was only moderately active, but il dis
PLAYED a decidedly strong tone on the whole,
and enjoyed a substantial rally, many stocks
closing at the best prices OF the week. There
were some buying orders for foreign account
in the market this morning, and disposition
was shown 10 continue the covering OF
shorts. To this demand the pears opposed q
further drive at the market, but it was di-
Tected at Sugar in all probability to mask the
covering in the regular list First prices were
generally from Is to p per cent better than
last evenings figures, but the pressure
brought to bear in the early trading knocked
Sugar off per cent and others frac-
tiOnaI amounts. The pressure was
Withdrawn before the expiration of the
first hour, when disposition TO discount
favorable bank statement appeared, and
prices shot up rapidly all along the line; Bur
fington rose per cent from its lowest figure,
and the rest of the list followed closely. The
bank statement proved TO be not so favorable
as expected the surplus reserve showing a
small decrease, while deposits were mate
rally smaller than last week. The upward
movement was checked at this point but the
best prices were well held and no reaction
was had. There were few marked move
ments among the inactive stocks and Evans
vile 4 Terre Haute, after rising from 1l4l2
to 217, reacted to ia, while Cordage pre-
ferred rose from 97l2 to 100. and Tennessee
Coal rose per cent.
The market closed dull but firm at about
the lowest figures. The final changes show
material advances in many cases, and Bur
lington is up 49, Western Union IL, Atchi-
son. c. c. {. & st. Louis Chicago Gas and
Louisville & Nashville each 1Is, and North
western Cordage, Northern Pacific preferred
and Tennessee Coal each l per cent. The
transactions reached IS, III listed and II, 100
unlisted, only St Paul with 11.050 reaching
five figures Railroad bonds were again very
dull, but while an irregular temper was
shown in general, the active stocks were
strong The final changes, however, are in
most cases declines, and Lehigh & Wilkes
barre fives lost at 95: and St Louis. Van
dala q Terre Haute firsts pa at 1914. Cleve
land & Pittsburg sevens rose 2 to 1905 the
trading extended to only S297, 900. Govern
ment bonds have been dull and heavy. State
bonds have been entirely neglected.
The Post says: If anybody doubted that
there was a large and unwieldy short interest
in the market, to-day's movement OF prices
ought to have settled the question. The buy
ing of this morning was maze up almost en-
tirely of the covering of shorts. and, as usual,
the small fry of the bear traders, seeing that
the leaders had already covered up good
share of their contracts, INDUCED in a hur
RED scramble to get back their own stock,
and in SO doing sent prices up at an I'M
usually lively pace. The general character
of the market was similar to that of last
Tuesday, when the bear leaders shook off
their uncomfortably numerous following.

The market was dull all the session. There
was no desire to open new business for the

Gables were not so strong as they were few

reports show smaller yield of winter wheat

was a fair scattered demand, but scarcely

AS has been usual in recent weeks, the state
ment of pank averages was entirely decep-
tive, and its returns of cash probably at least
g, 100000 away from the actual facts of pres
ent bank holdings. 1t should be observed,
however, that the flow of currency from
NhW York to the interior has decreased to an
unexpected degree this week, indicating that
certain interior commercial centers have all
along been much better supplied with money
than had been supposed. Indeed, New York
exchange at St. Louis and other Southern
points has been at premium during all of
this week
