RAILRoADs-Active; sales, 8, 1902, 900,
STOCKs-The stock market to-day was
again active and strong, with an unrnis-
taxable broadening tendency, and materi-
ally higher figures were reached in every
thing on the list, and this in face OF heavy
realizations and the strenuous efforts OF the
bears to prevent any further ad-
vance in prices To-day there
appeared TO be large buying
orders at concessions, and the upward
movement made steady progress. Atchison
was again the leader in point or activity,
while Louisville and Nashville still led
the upward movement, closely followed by
Rock Island. The operators confined them
selves entirely to the western stocks, and
the interest in the movement Of the grang-
ers was greater than in that Of any other
group of stocks on the list, and while
everything shared in the general advance,
the important movements were confined TO
those stocks. In the afternoon reallza-
tons in the general list became more alum
dant and prices yielded all along the line.
The market closed heavy and fractlonally

Even in very humble Households you will

and "A half dozen shelves of books the cab

giant oak book case for IS. There are thrcc
classes Of publications. which are found III
almost every honschofd-boeks, the weekly
paper, and the monthly illustrated magazine
The weekly paper gives all the news OF the
week, keeps the subscriber posted upon what,
is going on in the markets Y d in politics.
The illustrated magazine, owing to the fact
that it is seldom published in numbers less
t an 100000, can afford TO pay the highest
prices for both literary and artistic work,
and offers ut figure 80 low that 1t seems
impossible, the serious, sober thoughts OF the
great writers of the world, in addition to
those of the masters Of fiction, together with
lighter and more entertaining sketches.

A TOTAL WRECK Large crowds of
people gathered last week AROUND the ruins
of Boards Lutheran church, a short distance
east of Chcwsvillc, and which was dcmoiisll-
ed by cyclone which passed over that
ncghborhooi on Tuesday ey, ming, a full
account of which was given in last weeks
Ghbs The track Of the cyclone WAS rot
more than 500 yards wiaie and the church
seemed to be in tho center OF its path. \
portion of the side walls still stand upright
but are badly shattered. The roof and cell
ing are total wrecks The doors were com.
plctely twisted out of their positions and the
windows broken. The pulpit was over
thrown in TIE calamity. Large trees near
the vicinity Of the church were uprootel.
One week before the catastrophe the large
walnut tree which stood i'm the yard fronting
the church was blown down. The tree was
thought to be several hundred years Old as
it was there at the time of the building o..
the church, way back in 1857. The church
has been rcmodclcd frequently since its cree.
ton Ii is proposed to Immediately rebuild.
The entire structure will be raZed to the
ground, as il is thought to be unsafe To use
any portion Of it.-Gh6e.

1t Was His Own Stencil Plate.

OF all the thousand veterans who were at
Antietam Thursday none came away with
greater treasure than did Maj H. A. Hall Of
this city. The major did not uncover buried
wealth, nor was he the finder of a fat pocket
booA but he secured possession of a memento
which is not for sale.
Accompanying Maj. Hall was Mr.. T. H. Mar
tin OF tins city. and together they looked over
the enormous assortment of curios gathered
by an Cnterprising resident just they were
about to turn away from the collection
OF odds and ends the major happened
to see the name Hall cut in q
small stencil plate There was no impression
on his mind that he ever owned such an article
and his memory was not active even when he
saw that the full name Capt. II. A. Hall"
SuppOsing shat the little up of metal had
belonged to some other member Of the Hall
family the majO on the verge Of moving
on when he took another look at the plate and
read, cut in small letters beneath the
name, Company II. sixth n. Y. v. c.
That settled il. There might have
title to the name II. A. Hall. but there never
wa but one Hall who commanded company
of the sixth New York volunteer cavalry.
Seventy-five cents satisfied the curio dealer
(who said the plate had been picked up near
Burnside's BRIDGE, and the major once
more was the proprietor of the plate;
Just twenty-nine years from the
day when he dropped it. Eye witnesses say
that when the dealer found out that the major
and the long-lost slip OF tin were related he
wept bitterly, for he realized that seventy-tiye
cents was no price ut all under the circum-
stances.
