The Celebration.

A large crowd gathered in Meade
to celebrate the greatest national
holiday of the United States. The
sky was cloudy nearly all day max
ing cool pleasant breeze. In the
afternoon and early evening showers
caused the crowd to seek shelter.
The ball game in the afternoon
between Meade and Minneola was
witnessed by large number of peo-
pie. The game was not the best
ever played here, our boys did not
seem to be at themselves. The re-
suit was IS to Fl in favor of Meade.
In the horse race Claud Leach's
mare won by daylight.
The egg, cracker, sack and foot
races were all enjoyed by the young
er. boys.
About 7 O'Clock ground spar
ling match was pulled off by Chas.

twp. The contest was quite lively
and drew large crowd. Itwas de-
clared a draw.
A number of country people stay
ed to see the exhibition of fireworks
at night which was we'll worth see
ing.
A very large crowd took part in

E. c. Kilborn, a Meade county
stockman, was in Cimarron Tuesday
after stray mare which he found
through an advertisement in this pa.
per.-Cimarron Jacksonian.
w. c. Foster, formerly of the city
wells, left Tuesday on the overland
for the Ray copper mines in Ari,
zona, where he has accepted a posi-
ton as chief engineer in their new
reduction plant.
We clip the above from the Col
ton (Cal.) Chronicle. All of Will's
old friends wish him success.
1t was discovered yesterday that
Charles Sullivan had been talking
to some of the jurors in a manner
that left the impression on theil
minds that he intended O bribe, con-
sequently the jurors were called be-
fore the court and taken through
an examination, after which Judge
Madison administered severe re-
buke to any jurors who would al
low anybody to talk to them about
any case pending in which they had
been called as jurors and had moi
been excused. He then ordered the
county attorney to bring an action
against Sullivan.
Charles Sullivan came before the
court this morning and pleaded
guilty to the charge of attempting
to bribe juror and Judge Madison
sentenced him to three months il
jail.-Court notes, Ashland Clipper
From the above it would seen
that Judge Madison does not permi
any "monkeying" with jurymen, 70
which we highly commend him, ant
if he had been at our last term O
court he could probably have prac
ticed the same thing on some fellow
around Meade. We observed mum
erous fellows talking to jurors ant
it very much reminded us of politi
clans electioneering. However, thi

gentleman In the banana trade, land
a stranger is very apt to put his foot
in 1t. The first time I ever went into
the country myself was as the repre-
sentative Of an American machinery
house There was good field for us in
one of the republics, but the tariff was
prohibitive, and I concluded to go over
to the capitol, and hove an interview
with the Minister of Agriculture, hoping
to persuade him to recommend a reduc-
ton. I spoke pretty fair Ollendorf
Spanish, but was otherwise green as a
gourd and as soon as / arrived I made
a bee line for the administration build
ing.
while was cooling my heels in an
anteroonl, waiting for chance to speak
to somebody in authority and ascertain
how the Minister could be seen, a very
black, fat little negro waddled In wear
ing what / took to be a species of liv
cry, He had exactly the air of an impu-
dent, overfed house servant, and he
looked me over in a way that made my
blood boil. Hi! boy! I said sharply,
how long must I wait here? How
should know he replied in Spanish;
If it doesn't suit you get out He
chuckled as he spoke, and his answer
so Infatuated me that I lost my head.
Jumping up seized him by the col
lar and the slack of his absurd en-
broidered trousers and propelled him,
turkey fashion, through the open door.
There you black scoundrel!' I exclaim-

amazed he couldn't utter a word. He
simply gasped and disappeared. Half

THE STOCK MARKET

Inert During Early Part of Yesterday.
New York, Jan. 9.-The stock market
was practically inert during the early
part of the session to-day, the buying
demand falling to scarcely appreciable
proportions The bear traders in the
meantime put out selling orders through
the greater part of the list and succeed
ed in effecting very marked declines
and in bringing out a certain amount Of
offerings by uncovering stop loss or
ders. But the volume of the selling
was not important and the success of
the bears was due to the listless atti-
tude of the public towards stocks and
the indisposltion of insiders to support
prices. There was no positive incident
In the days events for the bears to base
their operations on. For the present 1t
Is obvious that capital has no inclina-
ton to move into stocks, and it Is no.
ticeable that the quiet investment abb
sorption which was a feature of the
market during the last week in Deem
Der, and the first week in January, has
practically ceased at the present level
of prices. A series of encouraging
events has afforded pretty good test
of speculative sentiment by being total
ly ignored. There have been new en-
tries to the HIST of dividend paying
stocks and increases in the dividend rate
of established dividend payers, The
money situation has ceased to cause
anxiety owing to the return flow from
domestic centers and the cessation of
the drain into the sub-treasury. Money
markets abroad have come through the
crises of the yearly settlements and are
steadily working towards ease, so that
the drawing of gold from New York is
now believed to have ceased. Far
reaching accomplishments towards har-
monizing great railroad systems have
been announced and disastrous trade
wars have apparently been patched up.
The small effect produced by all these
important developments are cited by
the bear element as indicating small
hopes of any advance in prices.
There was a small opening advance in
stocks In opposition to the heaviness in
London and in sympathy with strength
in Sugar and Brooklyn Transit. The
almost entire disappearance of buying
demand, in spite of very light offerings
then allowed prices to gradually sag
under the active selling movement of
the last two hours which forced prices
easily and rapidly downwards. There
were few feeble rallies, sufficient to
cause some irregularity, but the tone in
the main continued weak until the
close. Dividends on Louisville and
Federal Steel common were announced
near the close, but the bears counted
upon their exercising an unfavorable
effect as not being up to expectation.
The bond market was dull and heavy
In sympathy with stocks. Total sales
