Chief Justice Simmons, Of the
Supreme Court Of Georgia, has de-
cided that document not bearing
the special stamp required by Con-

decision is based on the contention
that Congress has no right to pre-

which would be conceded if an un-
stamped document was not admitted
as evidence.

for Two Years.
The old adege that when man mar

held good with David s.. Dewitt, Of
New Providence, who was married in
this city Saturday morning by Justice
Allen to Miss Minnie Mitchell, daughter
of George Mitchell, prominent cattle
raiser Of Providence township, Hardin.
county. Dewitt was here Saturday a
liapry man, but this morning he was in
the city again, with one leg shackled to
the leg of another prisoner, Lon Slater,
of Frankfort, Ind, and in charge Of
Sheriff A. w. Mitterer, of Hardin coun-
ty, bound for Anamosa to serve a SEN
tence of two years in the penitentiary.
Dewitt is a prominent young farmer
of Providence township, but a year ago
last June forged check for $216 on a
Hubbard bank. He was recently sem
fenced to two years in the penitentiary
and to pay fine of $500. Appeal bonds
had been furnished, however, and the
prisoner was hopeful Of securing new
trial. With this hope he took unto
himself a wife on Saturday,.a fact, it
seems, that created much Of a surprise
+ to friends OF both families. DeWitt's
l!bondsmen surrendered him this morn
ling and no sooner had they done so
than Sheriff Mttterer called for his
lprisoner and boarded the south bound
train for this city.
Slater, the other prisoner in charge
lsof the sheriff, is another young man
who has been sentenced to two years
hard labor in Anainosa for forging an
lcrder amounting to $5.T5 on an Iowa
Falls merchant. Skaters reputation has
lbeen bad for some time. and it is under

New York, Oct. S.-Trading on the
Stock Exchange today was marked by a
REVEAL of a considerable bear party
whose activities were aggressive and per-

were contested by the speculative holders
of long stock, who were successful last
week in lifting prices in spite OF the varl-
GUS unfavorable factors which developed
in the situation. The conflicting forces
at work were reflected in feverish ana
irregular movement of prices. The mark

by the Saturday bank statement had the

| apprehension over a construction of money
supply and the prospect of relief by i'm

pretty well settled as the day progressed
| that gold would move from London to-
wards New York this week. The market
for foreign exchange fell feverishly by
successive stages throughout the day and
demand sterling closed a full cent in the
pound below Fridays level, which was
the last day OF active business in the
exchange market. This price is within
small fraction of the level generally
agreed upon as offering a profit on i'm
ports of gold at the present price OF gold
and rate for money in London. and is
probably within the limit that would allow
the special transactions which generally
precede general gold movement in
struggling fashion. Owing to the tenn
porary abundance of money in London on

to the pressure for gold.
