that stock an extreme q, but the other
prominent Changers did not respond.
When it became known, in the after
noon that the directors of the Continen-
tai Tobacco Company had failed to de-
clare Il dividend, as many spectators
had hoped they would, there was
drop in the Tobacco stocks which
reached 2& in American Tobacco.
American Sugar, Brooklyn Rapid
Transit and Manhattan Elevated re-
sponded in sympathy and a number OF
railroads lost a point. The market
drifted rather uncertainty for the rest
of the day except for some strength IN
individual stocks. The reduction OF
the dividend rate in Consolidated Gas,
although it had been fully expected, had
a bad effect on the market. The stock
itself vibrated feyerishly over 3 points
and closed at a fractional loss. There
was quite notable display of strength
by a group of the minor Granger roads
including Chicago and Eastern Illinois,
st. Paul and Duluth, Duluth South
Shore and Atlantic preferred, Minneapo-
lis and st. Louis. the Wisconsin Central
stocks, Iowa Central preferred and Des
Moines and Fort Dodge. Gains in this
group ranged from 1 to 4 points, the
latter st. Paul and Duluth. Other
isolated points of strength We're Onta-
rio and Western, Chesapeake and
Ohio, Cleveland c. G.. and st. Louis,
Cleveland, Lorraine and Wheeling pre-
ferred the Reading stocks, the Colorado
Midland stocks and Detroit Gas. Real
izing was in evidence all day in some
of the Southern and Southwestern
stocks which had shown recent strength,
and this, combined with renewed weak
ness in the Specialties made the closing
rather heavy except in the cases named.
Money market conditions abroad ac-
counted for the cheerful sentiment from
that quarter, and the London buying
of stocks here had its effect In the frac.
tional decline in sterling exchange. So
also had the stiffness of the local money
market which ruled firm at about 3 per
cent.

These policies issued by the Aetna

80 per cent. on the annual pre- !
miums for the whole premium pc \
riod after the first two years. The
:. comparison corresponds with this I
for other ages. The simple pre- /
! sentation of this comparison ought I
J to be convincing argument when
clearly made, especially In view Of
the fact that paid-up policies are
more favorable to the assured Of
the fifteen-year than on the TWEEN
tyyear plan. The large dividend
paid by some of the companies
! has long been one of the strongest
claims made by them. Adividend
of 80 per cent. deducted at the
beginning of the year has so much
to be said in its favor that the
I Aetna seems clearly to be giving
points to its competitors.

COTTON.
New York, August 24-There was a
decided let up in the attention paid
to cotton futures by the general public,
and the volume of business today was
smaller, probably, than for any one
day since the excitement in cotton first
set in. There was no particular reason
for the change, as the average OF crop
news was quite as bullish as heretofore,
and there was nothing special in the
English advices to justify any material
change in sentiment. Nevertheless, the
market declined rapidly after the mo-
memtum Of yesterdays rise had ex
Blended itself in an advance of 3 to )
points, confined to the opening call
Trading was, for time, very active,
but liquidation soon commenced, and
few of the larger local bear operators
accelerated the downward movement
by pounding the market. The Govern
ment report indicated some possibility
of rains in the northerly section of the
cotton belt, with no relief for the CEN
trail and more southerly sections. The
market broke from the opening prices
about II to ID points. During the
afternoon very nervous feeling OBJ

of the market was such as to Indicate

Kansas City Visitors.

The Kansas City Commercial
 Club arrived in Springdale on
 their special train Monday
 night at half past ten o'clock,
 being one hour behind time. The delay was occasioned by having to divide the train into sections to get to Bentonville. Notwithstanding the lateness of the hour they were met at the depol by the band and a large delegation of citizens and escorted to the K. P. Lodge room.
 The meeting was called to order by Prof Shinn, who made a few brief remarkes by way of welcome, which were re spOnded to by MT. Evans presi- dent of the club. On account ot the train being delayed the gentlemen were only able to spend about thirty minutes here, but this brief time was made the most of in getting ac quainted. It would have been much more satisfactory if the visitors could have been with | us Tn daylight and spent two or three hours here. Springdale Is glad to have had them visit us, however, even for this brief time, and we trust 1t may prove beneficial.

FRANK PACE CLEAR.
Was Acquitted at Harrison of the
 Murdes of M. [. Aderholt.

A special from Harrison, dated February 3, says:
 "Today at 2:3o o'clock the jury in the Frank Pace murder case ra turned verdict of not guilty, IThc Henry and Troy Pace cases were continued until next court. Several lawyers were in the case, but ex-Circuit Judge B. B. Hud- gins and Senator Serry South made argument for the defense. w. J. and c. J. Crump for the state. all of whom acquitted themselves with credit
 This was one of the most inter- esting criminal cases Boone Coun- ty has had in many years, and the interest was not confined to that county alone. Frank Pace was for mer prosecuting attorney of the Fourteenth circuit, and is well known in Little Rock as we'll as throughout the district winch he has served so efficiently, and the result of the trial was watched with great interest.
 December 3, 1898, NJ. L. Ader- holt, prominent and wealthy planter, engaged in street duel with Capt w. F. Pace, on the streets of Harrison, over a divorce suit of his wife in which Pace was her counsel. Aderholt was the az gressor Capt. Pace was seriously injured, but afterwards recovered. Aderholt escaped, but returned af- ter short tune and surrendered to the officials. Ills preliminary hearing was set for December 2T, but on December 24 the three Pace brothers, Frank, Henry and Troy, sons of Capt. w. F. Pace, encoun- tered Aderholt on the streets, and duel ensued. Aderholt was shot down, dying the following day. The Pace brothers were arrested. Frank and Henry were released on sl9,0O0 bond each and Troy on sl, ,0OO. Frank Pace clarmed that Aderholt made a motion to draw his weapon and that Ne was too quick for him. The defence ot the Pace boys was that they acted only for selt-protection, and that AderhoIt had made many threats against their lives, saying that he had ..come back to finish the job. :"
