SHOVELS HAVE A HISTORY
Were Used in Wichita's Development
and VIII he hept.

Visitors in the city engineers office in
the city building are attracted by two
shovels, nicely painted and kept in con-
spicuous place.
On investigation the two shovels are
found to be OF historic value and of much
interest to Wichita people
The first shovel has an inscription on
it which says that It was used by J. P.
Allen as mayor in removing the first
dirt in the construction of the Wichita
sewers. The date on that shovel is Oc-
tober Is, 1888. Painted on the blade is a
song bird, probably executed by some
Wichita person.
The other shovel so carefully preserved
was used by Mayor Ross in removing the
first dirt in making the beautiful River
side park. This shovel has the date Of
February l, 1898 on the handle and on the
blade is a painting showing the Greif-
fenstein bridge in the park.
The momentos of the advancement of
Wichita will be cherished and viii prove
of much interest in the years to come.

The above is the ticket nominated by
the socialistic Democratic party in their
convention which met yesterday at the
city Nall. Although the attendance was
not as large as expected, the enthusiasm
displayed by those who were present was
marked and many speeches concerning
the condition of Sedgwick county politics
were made.
After a lengthy discussion it was decid-
ed to put a ticket in the field, and this
was done with the exception Of county
superintendent, and this mater as left to
the discretion Of the county committee.
DR. W. L. Rose, the avowed leader of
the Socialist Democratic party in this
county, was unanimously elected as the
permanent chairman Of the convention
and under his direction the business Of
the day was carried on.
a number Of resolutions were presented
and adopted they are:
The Socialistic Democratic party OF
America declare that life, liberty and
happiness depend upon equal political and
economic rights. Therefore. we declare,
First-That capitalism, the private
ownership Of the means Of production, is
responss Bile for the insecurity Of subsist-
ence.
Second-As a remedy we recommend
public ownership Of all industries.
Thrd-We believe that corruption in
politics is a curse to the nation.
Fourth-We condemn the Populist party
for forsaking principle and adopting the
Democratic ticket
Fifth-The Socianstic Democratic party
Believes that to continue either of the
two old parties in power is to continue
the present system.
Sixth-We heartily indorse the national
platform of the Socialistic Democratic
party.
Seventh-We therefore call upon all
honest citizens to unite under the ban
ner of the Social Democracy Of America
so that we may be ready to conquer cap
italism by making use of our political
liberty
Numerous plans in regard to the cam
paign were made after the selection Of
the county committee and it was decided
to hold meeting on September 20 and
should there be a necessity for a meet
ing before that time the committee will
meet at the call Of the chairman.
The candidate for the position Of coun-
ty superintendent will be selected within

In spite of the Improved Bank state
ment--Net Changes lnsign ficant.

New York. Jan 20.-The market in
stocks continues an enigma which any
ordinarily rules of Interpretation are I'M
awaiting to solve. Yesterdays buying OF
stocks was prompted by the expectation
of a favorable bank statement. The
statement proved more favorable than
the most sanguine expectations, yet the
market lost even the small ANNA ton 1t
had been showing when the statement
appeared on the tape. The net changes IN
prices are without significance, those OF
any amount being restricted to insignih-
cant stocks. London reported firm and
confident market, but the confidence old
not extend to the point of holding Amer
lean stocks up TO parity level and the
opening here was very ragged and irreg-
ular The lack of any upward lmpei us
from London and the utter indifference
manifested to the bank statembent offer
ed a poor market in which to realize. or
selling by yesterdays buyers might have
been larger. In the absence Of demand
they seemed satisfied to keep their hold
ings, but there was no inclination to add
to them The bank statement fully re-
f1ected the expected refiux Of unemployed
funds to New York, the total gain IN
cases being no less than $11,5S6,0Ol. 1t
was not suspected that employment for
these funds had been found to as large
an extent as indicated by the loan eX-
pansion of $4.579 100 The good demand
for bonds continued today and prices
generally are advanced.

HOGS FIVE HIGHER
Market Was Firm and Strong
Yesterday.
TOP PRICE WAS S4.45
Demand Was Good but Sup
ply Was Light

The hog market in this city was strong
TO cents higher yesterday. The market
was firm throughout the day, and at no
time were there any soft spots or any
indications of the buyers desiring to bear
the market
The supply was light even for a Satur-
day. The hogs did not begin to come in
until noon and even then the receipts
werequite short. The shippers, as a rule,
are expecting much higher prices and are
very reluctant to sell their hogs on any
thing but the high points.
The market opened steady yesterday,
and when trading commenced advanced
at once cents. The demand was far
heavier than the supply and the buyers
were no able to fill their orders. The
market closed firm, with a better feeling
than mas been displayed for several days
past.
The market compared well with others
II the west. st. Louis quoted the market
being steady, While Kansas City was
steady TO strong. The market here was
good cents higher on all grades. The
Shippers are coming to see that Wichita
in the west; that prices are higher every
thing considered, and that they can get
back home without loss of time or great
expenditure of money.
The bulk Of the hogs sold yesterday for
81. 1872 to A45. The top price of the day
was $l.45. The quality was fairly good
although nothing extra choice was eX
hibited. The average weight of the hog
was quite heavy.

Weeks Features in Wall street

New York, Jan. 20-The Wall Street
Weekly says: The weeks dullness in
the stock market has been relieved by
some professional speculation in a few
of the mercurial industrial stocks, the
price movements being largely due 10
manipulation The uncertainty over the
military situation in South Africa was
a factor in the dullness, but the specula-
tive world awaits more definite develop
ments in the business world in order TO
more accurately guage the future. The
worldwide relaxation in money rates IS
proceeding to such unexpected extent as
to arouse some question whether de-
crease in business and Industrial actiy ~
is not involved Easier money has
brought funds into the railroad bond
market with resulting advances in price,
but the overflow into stocks has been
very small as yet"
