Wall Street Review.

New York. June 6.--About midway of today's

of 3 points in New Jersey Central on rumors
of control by Baltimore and Ohio. This incident

from the mood of depression which prevailed

American capital in foreign money markets ana
the extension of American commercial interests

which would prccipitae liquidation IN foreign

banker, city officer, an insurance man
and railroad employee, each with his
wife. With US were also Chester, my
thirteen-year-old son, and Eide, the
accomplished housekeeper, whose au.
thorlty in camp was never questioned
and whose cooking rarely failed to
evoke praise. Sometimes it led to gor-
mandizlng.
The ride from Lincoln, Nebraska, to
Manchester, Wyoming, is one of in
terest. The few hours of daylight left
us on the evening OF our starting re-
vealed Eastern Nebraska sea of corn,
wheat and pasture, broken with islands
OF trees, in which were nestled cozy
homes peopled with prosperous and
contented occupants. The next morn
ing We breakfasted at Edgemont, South
Dakota. On resuming our journey we
skirted the southern end of the Black
Hills, entered the coal and oil fields of
Wyoming, and passed through the Bad
Lands, which in turn gave way to the
rich irrigated valleys and we'll stocked
ranches lying north of and parallel to
the Big Horn mountains.
With proverbial promptness, the Bur-
lington set us down at Manchester on
time, little after two p. M. By pre-
vious arrangement, Tom Davis. the
mountaineer, teamster and guide, was
at the station to convey US to the noun
tains which, although appearing not
more than two miles away, were in re-
atty nine mills distant. With several
hours OF daylight before US We speedily
bundled ourselves into his spring carry
all, leaving him to follow with our be-
longings loaded on his big four-horse
mountain wagon. A delightful ride of
an hour took US to Dayton, a small
village on the banks of Tongue river, at
the base OF the foothills. The Hotel
Davis, we'll managed by the little
daughter OF our teamster, was our re-
fuge until the next morning. The eve
ming was spent by the ladies in stroll
ing about the village and beside the
river, while the male members of the
party bought some additional supplies
at the store.
The mex. day was devoted to the Sc
lection OF cite and establishing camp.

The women wore short wooden skirts,

enjoyed the luxury of flannel shirts,
sweaters and hunting boots. The woods
abounded in berries and wild fruit, and
their gathering made pleasant diversion
