Secured the Purse and Deserted
From the Army.
John W. Elliott, Of Battery 81,
Wanted by Police, War Depart
ment and ii Betrayed Friend.

John W. Ellio tt, soldier in Battery
II, Fourth Artillery, stationed at the
Arsenal, is deserter from the ranks and
a fugitive from justice. He accepted the
hospitality of his friend and fellow-com-
Iade, Hugh L. Henry, drank his wines
ana fessted at his expense, and then last
night robbed him of $3.50 at Fritz
Reuters Hotel.
Mt. L enry Tor some time past has been
stationed at Fort Monroe, Va. Not long
ago he fell heir 70 a considerable for
tune, and when his time was up in the
Army recently be received an honorable
discharge from the ranks ana decided To
locate in business in the West. Before
doing 50 he concluded to come To Washing
ton and spend d few weeks with the
boys he had met on the field and In
campaigns during the past three years, be.
fore going 70 his old home in New York

expense.
Last night the three werein Henry 'sroom
at the hotel. They sat looking out OF the
window when Elliott called their atten-
tion t. a young lady who was passing
along the street. The young men rushed
TO the window Dut the beautiful female
had vanished and they ran out into the
halfway and into the next room to catch
a glimpse Of her. Elliott had seen her
and did not accompany Henry and Lake
When they returned Elliott had gone and
has not been seen since.
Thinking he had simply stepped down
stairs for moment, his absence gave them
no concern. After twenty minutes Henry
and Lake decided to go out, and when the
former reached for his coat, which he
mad taken off and hung on the wall
few moments before, he thought it felt
much lighter in weight than before, and
reaching in his pocket he discovered that
his purse, containing $3.50, was gone
The police were Immediately notified d
and search was begun for the missing
soldier. Up 70 a late hour last night no
trace had been found of him.

A PHENOMENAL ADVANCE.
The Jump In St. Paul Burns the

New York, Sept. 9.-For the first time
since 3S3 Chicago, Milwaukee * st.
Paul Railw ay common stock sold on the
stock exchange today at par. The ex-
element among the bull brokers in
this stock was considerable when the 500

until it sold at par.
During the panic following the Barring
failure the stock sold as low as 45.
The stock has been for some tine selling
above 90, and there have been frequent
runlors that it was the intention of the
directors TO increase the dividend, as the
Tecene weekly reports of The company have
shown Increases in the earnings.
From the time the dividend was first
announced on the exchange floor to the
hour Of closing the uproar was terrific.
From 100 the quotations on the stock rose
gradually to 101 and every eighth burned
the hides OF the bears. The burning went
ON even across the ocean, for London was
short of st. Paul between 40, 600 and
10000 shares. London used to hold $24,

Mr.. F. D. Carley, of Carley, Stokes *
Co.. SAYS Of the market:
.'The market has done exactly as We
predicted some two or three days ago, un-
der the leadership of st. Paul. The di-
rectors have paid the extra dividend ex-
actly as I have predicted for several
months This extra dividend came ST. late
in the day that it is rot possible now
TO tell what influence it Will have on
the general mark ct, because We must wait
for the influence in London. II Is the
most important fact which has happened
in the railroad world for years, aud what
ever critics may say to the contrary it puts
ST. Paul on q permanent per cent basis.
This is my statement to all our customers
as positive and unmodified prediction
for the future. We think Sugar is in a
down curve which viii include its lowest
quotations for several weeks. 1t may 20
lower, but when the down curve is com
pleted the upward tendency will ee ire
sistibIe."

noticeable that there are at the present
time none OF the so called bucket shops
doing business in Washington. The uI-
interrupted bull movement Of the past
month has mown them down in a terrible
manner. However, if anyone is inclined
to draw the conclusion from this that
the reign of bucket shops has ceased in
Washington, he viii very soon be forced
10 change his mind. The moment there
is any variety in the market, anything ex-
cept this terrible, steady advance, our
friends, the bucket shops, will spring up
again as plentiful and as prosperous as

THE MARKET VERY ACTIVE

the Days Trading.
Efforts to Revive the Cuban Situa-
tioD as Factor Another
Advance in Wheat.

New York, Sept. 9.-The general stock
market today was very active and its
tone was steady although the donlinance
of st. Paul in the market, on account OF
some uncertainty in regard to the rate Of
the dividend, gave feverish tone to the
trading. In spite of the large degree Of
actions elsewhere in the market Were on
a large scale, notably in the other granger
stocks, .Atchison, Southern Railway, and
Manhattan.
Falpable efforts to revive the Cuban
situation RS factor in the market were
noted, but they ut 10 time excited general
attention. The dealings in the bond
market were also upon large scale,
notably in Atchson and Union Pacific,
Denver and Gulf issues. Very favorable
statements OF earnings were made by the
Illinois Central Chicago Great Western
and the Oregon Railway and Navigation
companies.
The announcement that the st. Paul
company had declared the Regular divi
dend OF two per cent and an additional
dividend OF one per cent on the com
mon stock was made late In the after
noon, and was followed by increased
activity in the stock, which scored a
further advance.

once more upset many calculations by
leaving the banks discount rate un-

London market, and higher prices Were

vision The transactions here for for
eigu account Were not upon Il large
scale, una ON balance foreign houses sold
a small amount OF stocks in this mark ct, a
circumstance without any material effect

The course of Sugar yesterday was en-
tirely satisfactory to the bulls, although
there was no squirt upward. As suggested
in this column there was drop in Sugar

of dividend. but it Gid not 20 far, Tor
the reasons already suggested. Sugar IS
an excellent stock To buy at it's present
prices while it pays 2 per cent dividend.

In the grangers there was an entirely
different feeling toward the close from
that on the general market situation.
Here, as predicted yesterday morning in
this column, there was in the afternoon
excellent buying and fine advances.
St. Paul was the star feature of the
day It's extra dividend and its course
In the market came just as they Were
carefully suggested in The Times.
At meeting, whose result was not
known until just before the close, the
directors of st. Paul yesterday declared
an extra dividend of l per cent in addi-
tion to the regular semi-annual dividend
of per cent. This made the dividend
for the year ending June 80 per cent.
This course of the directors was entirely
warranted by the condition OF the road
by it's earnings last year and its BRIGHT
prospects for the coming year. The road
earned more than per cent last year,
and unless appearances are very deceptive
will do still better during the coming
months a great many people are of the
opinion that the directors might have
made the extra dividend regular with
great propriety. During the early morn
ing yesterday there was a considerable
weakness exhibited in st. Paul despite
assurances that several good auth horities
had Of the extra dividend. Later in the
day, however, people began TO realize
that the action of the directors was Ger.
tain, and the price scared upward. 1t

Some people go SO far as to believe
that the absence from our menus Of
plenty Of green vegetables and snlads
accounts for the biliousness of the
American people. The best known Of
such plants IRE lettuce, beet tops, dan
delion. kale and spinach, but there are
many other palatahle nd healthful
plants that, though rarely used, might
add pleasant variety to our list of
available vegetables. One Of these,
"wintcr cress," or Barbarea preco1,
which is sold in large quantities in the
Washington markets, is planted in late
summer or early fall ant needs very lit
tie cultivation. Another plant that be-
longs to the spinach and beet family,
though it is common weed in fields
and gardens in nearly every part of the
United States, is lambs quarters" or
Chenopodium album. 1t is in many
places commonly known either as pig
weed or goosefcot, but it is not the true
pigweed. The plant has u pale blush
green color, and if used when six or
eight inches high is tender, juicy and
pleasant to the taste. The teasing weed,
the common garden "pusley, or "pur-
slane, when boiled is also recommend
cd as most palatablo green vegetable
and can easily be had. In India, where
it originated, the plant has been used
for hundreds of years. In Europe it is
used both as pot herb and for salads.
