WITH ROCKS.
A Missouri Boy Kills Wild Cat After
q Hard Fight.

Springfield (Mo) Correspondent St.
Louis Globe-Democrat: Johnny Van
schaick, a Taney County lad living
near Bradleyville, has made himself
the hero of that locality by killing
full-grown wildcat. The boy was max
Ing trip through the White river
hills a few days ago when his dog
scented dangerous game. Johnny had
left his gun at home, and regretted
that fact very much when he saw
strange, furious beast of the cat fam
lily give battle to the dog. He could
not run away and leave the dog to
fight the "varmint" alone, however,
and arming himself with a handful or
rocks, the brave youth made an at
tack on the wild cat. few we'll

small tree, but Johnny kept up his hre
until the enemy sprang to the grouno
and took refuge under shelving clln
near a little stream. The dog coulu
not get at the wild cat here except by
crawling under the rock. and that he
refused to do. The boy then got long

seized the cat and the fight became
furious. The combatants rolled into
the creek and made the water foam
with their struggles Johnny was on
the edge Of the stream throwing
rock at the wild cat every time he
could get a good aim. Sometimes the
mad feline stood up on its hand feet
and struck the dog savage blows with
its deadly claws. The boy became
greatly alarmed for fear the dog would
be killed, and pressed his attack.
Finally, after stunning the animal
with another well-directed rock, the
lad seized a club and closed in on the
beast. A few blows on the head
crushed the skull of the wild cat. The
dead animal measured four feet, and
its skin now decorates the wall OF
Johnny's home, a trophy of which the
| boy is very proud.

The Sacred Fires of India.

The sacred fires of India have not all
been extinguished. The most an
cient which still exists was consecrated
twelve centuries ago in commemora-
ton Of the voyage made by the Par
sees when they emigrated from Persia
to India The fire is fed five times
every twenty-four hours with sandal
wood and other fragrant materials,
combined with very dry fuel. This fire,
in the village of Oodwada, near Bull
sar, is visited by Parsees in large num-
bers during the months allotted to the
presiding genius Of fire.

TUESDAY. Sept. D.
The opening OF the stock market was not
suggestive Of activity nor OF decisive move
nent OF prices in either direction. Speculation
was apparently held In check By q depressed
market In London. caused By the circulation
there OF disturbing reports regarding the sit
uation In the TrAnsvaal Before midday the
rumors referred TO we're dispos ed OF. and at the
same time several stocks began TO develop
pronounced tendency toward q higher level
Chief among these were Tennessee Coal and
Iron. Colorado Fuel. Republic Steel common.
American Tobacco. Metropolitan Street Rail
GAY. Brooklyn Rapid Transit. Chicago and
Northwestern. Consolidated Gas. Federal
Steel and the Anthracite coal shares. Laoka-
wanna was especially strong. The i'm
proven ent gradually extended to the usually
less active stocks. and In consequence num-
Der OF them enjoyed noteworthy net advances.
Conspicuous In this list were Hooking Valley
common. Chicago Great Western preferred
Issues. Laolede Gas. Buffalo. Rochester and
Pittsburg preferred, New York. Chicago 4 st.
Lou,- 1Js1sd preferred. and Omaha common
The net advances OF 81 and OF ~ per cent
respectively In Tennessee Coal and Iron and
In Colorado Fuel were accom- panied by reports
OF i'm pending settlements with the preferred
stockholders OF those companies for accumu-
lated dividends. 1t 10 known that both COM
panies are making very large profits and
It 10 obviously only question OF
short time when the way will be paved
for the distribution OF some OF these profits
among the common stockholders by the liqui-
dation OF the dividends In arrears on the pre-
fsrrsd shares. In the late trading an advance
In the rates for call money caused little selling

effect upon prices. While 1t seems probable
that money will command fair price for some
