did not remember they met two other
men. The three persuaded the Iowa
visitor to go into saloon, where they
had several drinks. Shortly aftergleay-

Wheeler Of robbing him of $500 and de-
manded its return. Wheeler protested
that ne had only s135, ard drew the roll
sof8 bills from his pocket. AS he did SO
the stranger who had accused him
seized the money and threatened to
have the Iowa man arrested il he8lnade

when Wheeler recovered from the
fright and surprise he complained to

fortunate as he might have been. He
still retains roll Of 5000, which he had

although there are few states where
women are allowed to vote. there is
not one in which they do not exercise

The impulse was upward from the opening on
a number Of influences accumulated over the

said to have been very small and momentary un.

Of more active demand for stocks from foreign
sources The latter strength was conspicuous
In the Southwestern and Western Changers, and
Is doubtless attributable to the prospects OF the
Writer wheat crop Atchison preferred and Bur

The strength elsewhere In the railroad list
proved to lie In sympathy with this movement
and was not widely disseminated Another
notable source of strength was the demand for
the steel stocks. which at one time from !
