THE BRITISH BADLY WORRIED.
Held AlOOf a Long Time, but Could
Not Resist Temptation.


Not Resist Temptation.
London, May 9.-While it is hoped rath
er than believed that the British market
is not committed to a great extent to
American Railroad securities, it cannot
be denied that the settlement which will
begin Monday is anticipated with keen
apprehension.
1t is believed that British spectators
held aloof a long time, but were unable
to resist the attractions of the long con-
tinued boom. The panic was the sole
topic of conversation at West End clubs
last night, and all kinds of rumors are
current regarding incidents of the day.
1t is asserted that an Amer
lean, who arrived from the continent
inquired the price of Northern Pacific
and was told that the quotation was 100
in New York and 100 in London. As he
had his stock deposited with New York
bankers he was able to sell at 100 in
Shorters Court after hours.
A prominent young dealer became COM
pletely unhinged and offered stocks at
prices largely below the worst quotations.
No one, however, tried to profit by his
temporary alteration. The Stock Elk
change is very superstitious and ominous
talk was heard last night of another

SMASH WAS INEVITABLE.
RUSSELL Sage Talks of the situation
and Its Cause.


New York. May 9-Russell Sage, when
seen tonight at his home and asked his
opinion of the stock market, said:
I have been associated intimately with
transactions in Wall street for half a
century, and can truthfully say that the
last two days have been the most remark
able l have ever seen. Fictitious and in
mated values have prevailed and the
smash that was inevitable has come. I

rue thousands will go to the wall, but
mat IS only an incident in the fight.
Ihis whole thing got it's origin in an
attempt to divert traffic from its natural
ana central source toward the West, in
omaha, to the Northern route-an I'M
natural route.
yesterday "wednesday was absolutely
unprecedented in the history of the finan-
cal world.
However, I do not anticipate serious
Iesults. BY tomorrow (Friday) things

country Is too great to permit of this

variant Dusk is simply the detached Q
of calf At first sight, bosscalf or buss-
calf strikes one as a compound or two
equalivalent words, like pussycat. When
we remember. however, that the o and
u of boss and buss represent a long o,
later long u, which became short before
the consonant group SIX, we see that the
first part of the compound is no other
than the word boose, boosy, Middle Eng
fish Dos @bosy, Old English +bos, bosig,
'cow-stall.'" A boss-calf, or buss-cali, Is,
then. a boose-calf that is, a calf that Is
still allowed to stay with the COW In the
boose or stall. Exactly the same notion
is found expressed in dialectic German
Stallkalb.
The use of boss or buss for boss calf
or buss calf is parallel to the use or
Jersey for Jersey COW, pug for pug dog.
Shanghai for Shanghai chicken canary
for canary bird, etc. That what was
originally a word for calf has come TO
designate a COW, Is to be observed IN
many similar cases. The animal grows
UP, but it's owner continues to call 1t
by it's baby name, which thus becomes
a sort of pet name, for which a dlmlnV-
tive, like Bossy, may be formed. Similar
ly, Sock, originally form of suck, still
addressed in Great Britain and some parts
of our country to calves only, Is in most
of our Midland and South the usual call
to cows, appearing as Sock boss, 500
COW, and in mary variations.

These are sweet words, but how much

different now. Since Mothers Friend has

been spared much Of the anguish OF child

Inc scene in ShOrters Court Re-
sembled Football Game.
LONDON, May 9.-Not in the memory of
the Oldest stock broker in London has
there been such a panic as prevailed this
afternoon in Americans. After the closing
OF the Stock Exvchange hundreds of deal
ers endeavored to struggle into the mar
row confines of Shorters Court, where
outside dealings are done, in efforts to
raise or reduce as the case might be.
Americans to New York parity Suddenly
there developed terrific slump in Unien
Pacific which was knocked down twenty
points IN as many seconds. st. Paul suf-
Tered almost as badly. Large and small
brokers' rushed to the scene until Throg-
morton street became impossible The
rain poured down, but the excited crowd
paid no heed to it. Parties formed them
selves into flying wedges and endeavors
to force their way into the center of
Shorters Court, at which spot the princi-
pal dealing was done. All sorts of condi-
lions and prices were shouted at the top
of operators voices. Down, down,
went Americans. The leading
houses sent urgent orders to buy
or sell. but found it almost impossible TO
have their orders executed. Rails of ev-
cry description were quoted at rock bot
tom prices. and steel and other securi-
ties fell in sympathy.
Continued Trading in the Rain.
Then, without rhyme or reason a re-
action set in. Up and down went Ameri-
cans. After about half an hour of this
panicky speculation a more reasonable
feeling prevailed, and stocks rose to with
in few points of their price when the
Stock Exchange closed. But long after
the usual hours hundreds of stock broR-
ers, most of them drenched to the skin,
traded in the hope of getting clear before
to-morrow's opening.

THE SEWER EXTENSION,

The city council held a special
meeting on THU sday evening OF
last week and approved the assess
ment rolls for. the extension of the
sewer system this year. The total
cost of the extension was $2,714.69,
of which amount 1862. 80 is as
sessed against the property.
In order to make up the deficiency
that exists by reason of the council
paying for the extension before the
assessments are paid in it was de-
cided to issue one certificate Of in
debtedness for $3.50, payable IN one
year, second certificate for $500 to
be paid in two years and a third for
the same amount to be paid in three
years. The certificates OF indebted
ness are to draw 6 per cent. inter
est. The balance of $21. 99 is to
come out OF the general sewer fund.
The council allowed the. bill of
Fraser & Elliott, amounting to
ST., 1926 for the balance due that
firm for constructing the extension.
OF this amount ST, $50 was taken out
OF the special fund created for the
extension and $3.50 was taken out
of the sewer fund, the latter amount
being for surveying, etc.
