JACOB STEPHEN HYER.
Republican Candidate for Nomination
for State Auditor.

Jacob Stephen Eyer was born.
in the then wilds of Braxton
county, Virginia, on the 10th of
January, 1s49. His ancestors
were of the revolutionary stock,
some of them having figured
spicuously in the war Of the
olution, as well also in many
Of the frontier hards hips and bal.
ties with the 1ndiars, and when
the dark clouds were towering
over the country in 1851. the
Hyer family was not slow to
answer the call of their country,
and, when the awful conflict
came on, many of them took
their lives In their hands and
went forth to battle for the Union
cause.
Mr.. Hyer had little educational
advantages, none in fact, but
three or four winter terms when
mere lad, in the country log
school house. Having permls-
sion from his father, at the age
of 10 years he Joined himself to
Gen. George A. Jackson. then
clerk of the circuit court of
Lewis county, remaining with
him, writing in his Office for is
months, after which he entered
as an apprentice with that prince
of merchants, Hon. A. A. Lewis.
of Weston, West Virginia, with
whom he remained five years.
All these years Mr.. Hyer availed
himself of every opportunity to
to give his attention TO books,
and through his persistent per.
sonal efforts acquired quite a
good English education.
In August, 1869, he embarked
in the mercantile business on his
own responsibility before he had
attained the age of q years and
has been so engaged almost con
tinuously to the present. He
has been the leader in many pub
lie enterprises, of which, in our
limited space, we cannot speak
at length. He is prominent in
Masonic and Knights of Pythias
circles. He is a liberal contrib
utor to charitable, benevolent
and educational enterprises, and
never behind any other man on
any of these lines. He is a mem.
Der (of the minority partly of
the Board of Directors of the In
sane Asylum at Weston for the
last FIVE years, and his efficiency
in this capacity is so we'll known
to the public, as q pains-taking,
careful member, that il is not
deemed necessary to dwell upon
it here, as he has filed this po-
sition to the entire satisfaction of
all, irrespective of political or
personal consideration.

upon the charge Of keeping train
load of stock In continuous motion for
twenty-eight hours without feeding,
watering or resting the cattle accord
ing to law. 1t appears that no notice
of such suit has ever been served
upon the Northern Pacific and the le-
gal department of the road knows
nothing of it except what has appeared
in the papers and court reports.
Neither has any complaint been filed
with the road The officials of the
Northern Pacific say that If keeping
a train load of cattle or horses on the
road longer than the period named is
violating the law, then all of the roads
are constantly laying themselves La
BILE to prosecution.
1.-The complaint refers to shipment
from a town in Montana, which is not
on our line, and no record has ever
been received from the shipper, owner
or purchaser of the alleged consign-
ment supposed to have been shipped
on the day specified. 1 believe our
cars are properly equipped for the safe
transportation of cattle, and the COM
plant is certainly mythical so far as
any service upon us is concerned"

NEW YORK, Oct. S.--The stock market
today moved irregularly both in point of
activity and prices. The volume of business
was fairly extensive, but periods of ANNA
ton were followed by intervals of intense
dullness. The speculation was no less pro-
fessional than heretofore, dealings by out
siders on margin being discouraged by the
large commission houses and handicapped by
the firmer tendency of money rates. There
was no news of special Importance bearing
upon values, aside from the further moderate
engagement of gold in London for shipment
to this country. The market opened weak and
lower on resumption of the heavy selling
movement that had marked the close of
Wednesday. Sugar was the special point of
attack in the early dealings and its course
reflected manipulation by the operators of the
first class who, yesterday and today, en-
deavored to emphasize in the stock market
the declining tendency of domestic and for
eign grades of the product. The early cables
this morning reported demoralized condition
of the foreign sugar market and heavy sales
OF Sugar stock were made in anticipation of
a reported probable further sharp reduction
in domestic sugars, but no action was taken
in that direction. The extreme declire was
11s per cent, the stock touching 1063s the
lowest point reached in many months The
general list also suffered sympathetically, al
though the losses were not so material At
the low points, covering of shorts impaired
steadiness to the price, and on rumors of ar
rangements making for the import of round
amount of gold, substantial rallies on prices
occurred. The high priced industrials re-
fected clearly adroit manipulation. In the
movement Sugar recovered practically all of
the early decline, but eventually eased off
point from the highest of the day. The
close was strong at fractional gains late
favorable influence being weaker market for
foreign exchange. Final prices recorded frac-
Railway bonds
were dull and irregular on narrow move
ment. The Reading and Atchison issues were
the most largely dealt in. An upward trend
was noted at the close The sales were $780,
600. Governments were dull but slightly lower
on sales of So, 900.
