SPECULATION sTEADIEn IN TONE.
hpprehensiye Feeling Regarding
Money Is GrOMing strnnger.

NEW YORK, May 22.-Bradstrcers financial
review of the week says: Speculation during the
present week has been even narrower and more
professional than before The tone, however, has
on the whole been steader, and the apprehanslye
feeling in regard to the political results as bear
factors accumulates Large holders of securities
have not been affected by the recent liquidation
tendency which was confined to the smaller
semi i-professiOlal bulls. The exhaustion OF sell
ing from this quarter has imposed q check upon
bearish activity on the part OF the room traders
and the absence Of any decided pressure the
market has been no less significant than the
total lack OF outside interests, commission houses
n class being almost idle. London has not
been factor either way, Among the Incidents
= the week is tne news that J. r. Morgan has
placed an option for $4,000 of the new North

In the Minority.

1t was at a country election that the fol.
lowing took place, says Harpers Round
Table.
Every man for miles around was in at,
tendance, from the prosperous farmer to the
lowest farm hand, and here and there in
small groups they held lively discussions
about the respective candidates Finally the
chairman raped for order, and the speech
making began. The willy orator explained
loudly and long about the poor condition OF
the country's welfare, and wound up by ask
ing all those who wished for a betterment OF
things to stand up Every man arose except
an old gray-whiskered farmer, who had fallen
asleep over the long-winded Grafton.
Now" said the orator, after his listeners
had seated themselves, ''if there Is a man
here who does not wish for betterment of
things, let him stand up that we may look
upon him with scOrn."
At this moment the old farmer awoke with
a start, and catching the words stand up"
got upon his feet and stared slowly around
as number of Kisses were thrown at him.
This reused his ire and he said:
WAL, Mister Speaker. | don't know

ments Of my brethren here; but you and

Explosions Due to CnrcIcssncss, Not
to Gasoline stoves.

to Gasoline stoves.
OMAHA, May 21.--To the Editor Of The
Bee: The injury done stove dealers by
false reports of gasoline stove accidents is
nothing less than an imposition. Every ac-
c!dent that happens from gasoline is reported
as gasoline stove explosion, when in fact
there never was gasoline stove explosion
and never will be- The Gasoline Stove Man.
ufacturng association offers $500 to any one
that can prove case of a gaso inc stove
explosion If accidents from gasoline were
correctly reported, according to facts, and as
as other accidents are reported, accidents
from gasoline would be wiped out by this
time
AS it has BEEN people simply read of ex-
plo1i0ns, and they being told where they
bought their stove that 1t would not
plode, handled gasoline carelessy and the
result is an accident from careless handling
of gasoline. If the causes of accidents were
reported, people would read Of accidents
from the way they handle gasoline and they
would handle it right.
In The Bee of the 18Th inst. you reported
a gasoline stove explosion on North Twen-
teth street. Yesterday morning called at
the house where the explosion Is said to have
occurred and investigated the accident and
this is what Mr.. Taylor. in whose house the
accident occurred, told me:
My wife cooked breakfast on the cook
stove Some time after she wanted to use
the gasoline stove and found that the tank
needed fl ling. She took a pail, got the
gasoline, and for some reason set it on the
cook stove. There stll being fire in tho
stove it ignied the gasoline and caused the
accident"
Mr. Taylor said the gasoline stove had
nothing whatever to do with the accident
and they were going to use it as before.
There has never an accident happened
unless 1t happened from cause
similar to the above, or from
filing the tank while the stove Is lit or
using a stove that leaks gasoline on the
floor. Nobody but the user is responsible
for an accident from gasoline.
