Joseph's Tins.

New York. May 26.-Foreign houses will
probably buy 1900 shares of stocks
balance today, taking L. N, Atchison pre-
ferred. Southern Pacific. and B. o. issues
Probably be some little appreciation ex-
pressed today regarding bank statement
You know liquidation was pretty general
in the early part of the week. and the
consequence will probably be again shown
in loan items tomorrow. Reserves ought
to make a slight gain and a general ten
dency ought to be towards hardening the
market. Traders continue to be pessimis-
tic, but buying by important interests is
of a character to almost guarantee higher
prices in the not far distant future. y.
r. T. will make a wonderful leXhibit. We
have been talking with some of very large
Vanderbilt interests and We have been
shown figures regarding B. r. T. that
are simply amazing. b. r. T. insiders be-
lieve that in the course of a year
earnings will rival anything made by any
other railroad in any city in the United
States. J. ARTHUR JOSEPH.

Another Worthless Report Passes

limit the report of the state board of
health prepared by DIR. H T. Gill to T5
pages and made an order to that effect

terests no one The data contained in
this report is of no value to tax payers
who furnish the money to print it and
there is nothing of scientific value in It

means the decision of the board was
not enforced at the first and most inn

Northwestern Changes.

ID. j. Lindsay, who was agent of the
Chicago & Northwestern railway at
this point for nearly year past, has
been promoted by his road to the
position of travelling freight agent
with headquarters at Salt Lake City,
Utah, whittier he will depart this
week. He is superseded as local
agent by Fred NJ Newton, the change
taking place on Monday. Mr. New
ton is an old and faithful employe of
the Northwestern and his advancement
is deserved and very pleasing to his
numerous friends. He is accommodate
ing and affable and ought to make a
most successful station master. His
former position as cashier is filled by
the promotion of Edward O'Byrne,
who has been serving as night oper-
ator. Mr.. Lindsay's departure for
other fields will be much regretted by
our business men and citizens generally,
with whom he had popularity estab-
lished himself during his brief stay
among US. His new position is a
marked advancement which his splen-
did business ability well merits, and
his Watertown friends will rejoice
with him in his good fortune.
