STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. June 10.-There was n
brief struggle in the first hour of to-
days stock market to extend the reac-
ton which has been in progress during
the week, when prices suddenly and Wig
orously took an upward turn and it was
a runaway bull campaign for the rest
of the day. The picking up of inactive
and dormant stocks, however, dis
tinguished the trading quite as much
as the aggressive strength in the great
speculative leaders.
Them was disposition at the opening

inundated by talk of yellow fever in
Mississippi where the outbreak was first
noted last year Later in the day the
market developed quite Il firm undertonc

A cadaverous man boarded Van
Buren, street west-bound electric car
downtown, and after paying his fare
told the conductor to let him off AT
Sangamon street. 1t was . O'Clock IN
the evening.
When the car reached Sangamon
street the conductor was at the frent
platform collecting Il fare. The ca
daverous man arose, expecting the car
to stop, but it bowled right ahead at
unbroken speed. So he yelled Mt the
conductor: Here! Hey. Didn'tzI tell
you to let me off at Sangamon"

NO, won't wait for no next
Don't you pull that bell roper

He made n lunge for the rear plat

in darkness. The mOtormnn clnppcd
on the brakes and the passengers
laughed with glee.
The cadaverous man had pulled the
trolley off of the overhead wire. BY
the time the infuriated conductor had
got the trolley back on the wire the
cadaverous passenger was out of sight
He had compelled the company to
break a rule and stop in the middle of
block to let a passenger off.-Chica-

Derivation of the Word Klon ndlke.

"The River Trip to the Klondike' is
the title of an article by John Sidney
Webb in the March Century. Mr..
Webb says:
From Dawson the trail to the mines
leads over steep hill to the creek
made so famous by its tributaries; for
there is not n single mine on the prin-
cipal stream. which in the miners
slang is called Klondike. And yet this
stream does in reality bear charac-
teristic name given it by the Indians,
which is utterly murdered by this pro-
nunciation, now so common.
"The Indians name the creeks
throughout the country from any char
acteristic in connection with the stream
itself; and rs this one is so swift that
in order to set their salmon-traps or
nets they We're obliged 10 use ham
mer to drive the stakes to anchor them,
the creek was named by them Hammer
creek, or in their language, phonetlcal-
ly, Troan Dix. The spelling klondike
means absolutely nothing, but has been
accepted. so learn. by the Board of
Geographical Names of the United
States."

from Colorado Springs was derniled
at Falcon, seventy-three miles from
Denver, at I:2O o'clock last night, and
the passengers in the two day coaches
had n narrow escape from what might
have been n frightfu accident. No. 8
is fast train. making the trip from
Colorado Springs to Denver in one hour
and forty minutes. The schedule pro-
vides but for one stop, at Elizabeth,
and at the time of the accident the
train was running at the rate of sixty
miles an hour. The escape of the pas
sengers and crew is regarded as mir
aculous. The train was in charge OF
Engineer Hoover and Fireman Harlin,
and when the locomotive struck the
switch at Falcon Conductor kimbrell
was sitting in the combination smoker
and baggage car. The second day
coach carried about twenty passengers
all of whom received a severe Sinking
up, bur, with one exception, no one
was hurt.
The switch is said to have been left
open by the crew of n freight which
passed Falcon shortly before the
passenger express was due. Engineer
Hoover reported that he was slightly
behind time and was running fhst
when he whistled for Falcon station,
covering at least sixty miles an hour.
When the train struck the switch Fire
man Harlin jumped. but Engineer
Hoover stuck to the throttle and after
the engine and two cars had ploughed
for 200 feet through the dirt he was
taken out of the overturned engine
with scarcely bruise. The engine
was badly wrecked and lies on its
right side. The two passenger cars
We're almost destroyed. The stove in
the baggage compartment was over
turned and the hot Goals thrown out,
but fire was prevented by the prompt
action of Conductor Kimbrell.
