HOLIDAY PRESSURE CAUSED IT

HOLIDAY PRESSURE CAUSED 1T.
Purnell, Hagaman & Co.'S stock letter
by private wire to the Alamo Brok-
erage company:
New York, July 3.-The stock market
was unfavorably Influenced today by
the lowering of values in London
the heavy break in tobacco and the
process of evening up contracts among
traders who did not care to remain
long over the double holiday There
was no heavy selling pressure, how
ever, and the undertone was satisfac-
tory. Tobacco fell 31s per cent. on Ii
quotation induced by the proposition
to double the tax on cigarettes. The
prices subsequently rallied about
point.
Sugar was fractionally lower, but
Chicago Gas showed steadiness. In
the railways Rock Island sold down rs
but recovered half OF the loss. Foreign
selling helped st. Paul to a fractional
decline in spite of its excellent state
ment OF earnings for the last week of
June. T. c. 1. dropped over per cent.
on fears OF strike troubles. The mar
ket closed irregular but fairly steady.

A QUIET (?) MARRIAGE.

One of the most beautiful and agree
able weddings it has been our good
fortune to witness took place at the
Sunset Baptist church Thursday eve
niung at o'clock, the contracting par
ties being Mr.. w. A. Young and Miss
NJ. Ola Thurman. The affair was
understood to be an extremely private
marriage: but some way these love
matters always will leak out and long
before the appointed hour the church
was packed to overlooking. 1t was
prayer meeting evening of course, but
the crowd got there unusually soon.
While the unlimited guests looked at
each other with bright and mischiev-
Gus smiles Mr.. Parvin, a tall handsome
soldier of Fort Sam Houston and Miss
Rikka Peterson, a petite, graceful and
very beautiful young lady walked
slowly to the altar, followed by the
lovely bride and most elegant groom.
A thrill Of silent admiration swept
over the audience as they gazed upon
the scene while the man of God read
the solemn ceremony that made two
souls happy.
The bride and bridemaid were beau
tifully attired in gauzy white and rib
bons. The bride carried a magnificent
bouquet, the gift of the husband.
The groom and his attendant wore
the conventional dress, an evening suit
of black.
AS the wedding party entered the
showers of rice were thrown
after them. They were driven imme-
diately to their new and elegantly fur
nished home near Arkansas Pass depot
where the bride was the recipient of
several beautiful presents.

Precipiccs In the HimaIayas.

There is one remarkable popularity OF
the series Of Himalayan ranges between
the vale of Kashmir and the central Asian
watershed. They are one after another
cut right across by ridges. The reason foi
this is that the rivers were there before
the ranges were formed, and as, by the
crinkling of the earth s crust the ranges
were raised, the rivers cut gorges through
them and maintained their flow.
Manga Parbat Is part of the true and
principal Himalayan range, and it's sum.
NIT rises to the stupendous altitude above
sea level Of 90, $50 feet. Close to it's foot,
not more than ten miles In horizontal dis.
tance from the peak, the Indus flows
through desert gorge, and here the height
above sea level OF the river bed Is not
much above 5000 feet.
1t Is easy to conceive from these figure

The poet Rogers was afflicted with no
