II. II. Downing: A shirt and overalls fac.

can be procured as cheap here as at any other
point. and will require but small capital for

Chas. Potter: Have always been of the
opinion that Wagon and Carriage Factory
would be of great benefit to the town. The
raw material represents but a very small por-
tion of the cost OF construction. The freight
rate on this kind of material is very low, and
! am confident that plant could Ike maintain

II. G. Stidham: Read your proposition

1t has been my observation that in town

wealth, the brains and the inclination, and !
know Of no good reason why something of

SANTOS DUMONT'S BALLOON.
ABRoNAUT CONFIDENT OF WINNING THE
PRIZE.

PRIZE.
Paris, July 25-keen interest is still taken IN the
balloon Of the Brazilian aeronaut, NJ. Santos Du-
mont. Each day he visits the grounds of the Aero
Club, the Pare d'Aerostation. at st. Cloud. where
the balloon is kept filed in readiness to seize the
first opportunity to renew the attempt for the
Deusch prize of 10000 francs offered for drigble
balloon.
The motor is working satisfactorily and producing
higher speed than at the last trial. but wind
and rain have thus far prevented thorough test.
Major Renard, director of the military balloon
station at Neudon. In the course OF interview
published to-day, asserts that NJ. Santos Dumont
will have accomplished nothing until he exceeds
the speed of six metres second attained by the
balloon La France, propelled by dynamos, IN 1884
He pays a tribute to the pluck Of the Brazilian
aeronaut. and admits that the first OF pc
troleum motor is due to his ingenuity.
To this NJ Santos Dumont replies that he has
not only surpassed the speed Of La France, but
has achieved over a distance of 326 metres speed
officially verified exceeding metres a second.
He says he regards speed a secondary consid-
Grafton, which can be developed after definitely
demonstrating the success of his balloon.

THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS

Prices generally showed Improvement IN yes
terday's market but there was no marked ac-
tivtty nor significant fluctuations. In the early
dealings the Western railway shares made sharp
advances over Wednesdays final figures while
the greater number Of issues moved higher with
out any important demand. Reports of good
rains in the AGRICULTURAL section of the country
encouraged renewed hope in Wall Street circles
Of better corn yield than recently expected.
Speculators who were in the dumps Wednesday
saw plenty of corn in sight yesterday. and in
some circles the estimate of a 1,loOooo,OoO
bushel harvest was accepted as conservative and
nrobable day before the same people would
not even admit the possibility Of anything near
an average crop. Wall Street is in the rapid
changing mood at present and one days opin-
ions cannot be depended upon as safe guides for
the morrow. The market is a good trading at-
fair presenting excellent opportunities for quick
witted operators. but little safety for inexperi-
enced commission house traders. General con-
ditions are in favor of holding all good stocks,
and the purchase on reactions of the cheap rail
road issues and Industrial stocks Of merit

a long way off.
All reports from the West agreed regarding
crop conditions. This unusual as in the
last week a most conflicting set of advices had
been received. And for the first time in several
weeks large grain houses recommended the pur-
chace of stocks. This fact was taken to indi-
cate that the rain in the West had been of sutt-
cient volume place the spring wheat crop out or
danger and TO save part of the damaged corn
area Chicago advices (Which recently have
been extraordinarily bad) indicated a break in
the drouth in Iowa and relief in Nebraska and
the other States in the great corn belt Heavy
rains reported throughout the West. and
a consequence stock market traders reached
the hasty conclusion that all uneasiness over the
crop situation could be banished. Shorts In the

WANT RECEIVER FOR OHIO GAS COMPANY

Dayton, Ohio. July 25.-Minority stockholders of
the Miami Valley Gas and Fuel Company brought
suit here to-day for the appointment OF a receiver
and asking injunction to prevent local banks
from paying any money TO the Central Contract
and Finance Company. The petitioners allege that
the late Calvin 5. Brice. acting with Others formed
a conspiracy whereby the company was allowed to
lose the ownership and control of gas wells gas
fields in Mercer County by allowing leases to expire
and by allowing the wells deteriorate with the
object of securing them under the name of the
Central Contract and Finance Company. The Pc
ttioners aver that since 1894 the Central Contract
and Finance Company has received about s400 600
under the guise of royalties and compensation for
gas from its wells TO be used by the Miami Valley
company for its patrons They claim that the

which is the official organ of the association in re-
gard TO the subject In his letter, which was print
ed IN the last issue Of the journal Of the organ
ization Mr.. Lewis says:
The beneficial results to the practitioner of this
defence against suits for alleged malpractice are
unnecessary to recite; the benefits to the public
are many. Blackmailers criminals and are as
olstaSteful to the layman they are TO the pro-
fessional man. The public accords you the right
10 this protection il expects you TO also pro
tect it from isms, imposters and quacks. The pro-
1esson OF medicine is then most sensitive public
critlclsm and the physician is for that reason the
most Vulnerable TO the attacks of the blackmaier
aided by the INSCRIPTIONS lawyer. It is therefore
necessary that a great, strong organization shall

yourself as gentleman and fear nothing" The
