ONE man killed and several wound
ed is the record Of steam boating on
the Ohio during the past few days of
flood. People living along the banks
say that the wash from the boats up
set their houses and damaged them.
Consequently they shoot at the boats
when they come near. The boat men
say that people should not build SO
near the water and that it is impossi-
BILE to tie up on account of passengers
and perishable freight. Consequently
it makes them mad to be shot at.
The matter will probably have to be
settled in some other manner than by
the shot gun method however.

The staying qualities of the situation
are strikingly evident from the compare
tive stability of prices. There is still
some realizing on speculative accounts,
and not few conservative operators pre-
fer to satisfy themselves as to the real
strength of the market by postponing
buying for a time, but selling readily
brings out buying with promptness
which shows that the under-element of
commence Is very strong.
The strong undertone of confidence is
the controlling factor; but no extravagant
bulF' movement is likely TO be under
taken at present, because the trained OPP
orators are willing to bide their time, and
feel satisfied that, in the fall, there will
be great revival of the speculative
spirit, which will be inspired by fine
seasons business and the harvesting of
crops, and, then the country will have
had its confidence confirmed in the new
scale of prizes, alb the conditions thus
being then forthcoming for return of the
boom to about the phase in which the May
panic found it. This, at least, appears to
be the conclusion to which a majority
of the speculative element is vending its
way.

Stocks Again Active and Buoyant.
Cotton VariabIe-Wheat Firm.
The stock market showed rapidly in
creasing rate of business during the past
week. The larger volume of business
was attended by a sharp upturn in prices.
The movement eliminated with quite
boom on Saturday, with a strong closing.
ST. Paul@was conspicuous with jump of
nearlg,l 70 points on Saturday to 172. Prac-
ticallE the whole list of railroads is high
er, some prominent features being Union
Pacific. Atchisons, Wabash, Delaware
and Lackawanna and Southern roads.
There were also good advances in New
York fractions.
Iron and steel stocks developed marked
strength latterly, especially United
States Steel and Tennessee Coal. Tobacco
stocks continued active and made a fur
ther material advance. Otherwise the in
dustrials were generally quiet, and either
lower or without much change.
The present temper is very bullish, but
the severe lesson of the recent panic can
not be so soon forgotten, and it looks
very dangerous to buy on the top of these
sharp advances Breaks will come, for
those who wait for them.
Cotton was very variable. July, under
manipulation, sold at SO on Monday
and down to TO on Wednesday; then
rallied again and close. at 7S9, a de-
cline for the week, of points. August
is about unchanged and new crop months
slightly higher.
The important news of the week was
the bureau report on Friday, giving the
acreage increase at S.3 per cent, and the
condition about a point below last year.
This condition is figured this year for
May 20, which is probably too early to
afford an estimate of condition of much
value. Crop accounts continue dubious;
in the eastern section particularly the
weather has been too cool and wet and
the crop is consequently backward. A
favorable June will bring 1t up all right,
but a continuance of present conditions
will result in repetition of last years
experience.
Wheat acted firm all the week, and be-
came quite strong latterly, closing at the
top. July 7512, an advance of PFC. The
causes were dry weather in the South
west and also in some parts of the spring
wheat region; there were in addition fur

In tie main, however, leading authorities

seem high enough, and may fall off

Charles f. Herreshoff, Jr. wrote of her:
THE Shamrock II is a boat that will
do credit to her owner and designer, but
in my opinion she won't bring back the
cup. There is no new thing in the form
of the Shamrock II. The boat has the
same modified fin keel which has be-
come familiar She is but a second

tened, with larger and more graceful ends
and q Stacker bilge. Her lateral plane
is much cut away and her short fin is
placed farther aft. Her bottom plating
Of manganese bronze, looked smooth and
fair. But with all her finish and sweet
ness l do not think she will come up to
expectations.
Her rig is different from that OF the
Shamrock l. There is comparatively
small fore triangle and large mainsail.
Her profile being toward me. her low
freeboard offered a great contrast to the
Shamrock |. This Is a marked feature OF
the Watson boats. Her stern Is rather
narrow in comparison with other cup
boats and not by any means like that

this is no novelty IN cup defenders, Il

Other points to be described are as
follows The overhangs fore and aft are
drawn out to exceptional length, and the
waterlne underneath looks deceptiyely
short. Her fin is probably 30 feet long
and Is finished at the bottom with pro-
nounced rocker. The chief characteristic
of the yachts design is the manner in
which her beam is thrown right forward,
almost into che eyes OF the boat. The

well into the overhang. and the drawing

"UncIe Dan" Emmett Tells Of the
Birth of the Famous Melody.

From the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
About five miles southeast of Frederick
town, on the state road, leading from
Mount Vernon to Mansfield, stands coy
little cot to which the casual passerby
would give but passing notice; but in it
dwells one of Americas most famous mu-
sicians and song writer's.
He is Daniel Decatur Emmett. father OF
negro minstrelsy, best known as the au-
thor of Dixie" the famous ditty which
served as a rallying song In two of the
worlds greatest wars.
"Uncle Dan" as he is Familiarity called
in this neighborhood, was born in Morris
township, this county, in 1915. His pres
ent hermitage is within a mile of his
birthplace.
He began his professional career as a
musician when boy in his teens, trav-
cling with a small circus. In his daily
performance it devolved on him to give
songs with banjo accompaniment. These
were Of his own composition.
1t was In 1853, In the 34th year of his
eventful life, that he wrote the soul
stirring melody which made him at once
famous.

peating Itself in my mind. In despair l
set 1t down, and Dixie was the result.
In twenty minutes the verses and music

Dixie is just what Bryant wanted for

On October 20 the third and last race
was sailed in a strong breeze after many
postponements. 1t resulted in another
Columbia victory by 6 minutes "a seconds,

Competent critics who saw the two
yachts said that the Columbia was the
more graceful in appearance and she was
picked to win by Americas, not only for
patriotic reasons but because they Judged
from appearances that she was the better
