MI IN ~ unarksk Tho expectations
Of che AFTERNOONS astion had held the
market IN check all through the day.
The stock was run up 2 points during
the morning. but when the increase in
the dividend was announced, selling to
realize wiped out all but a small frac-
ton of the rise. It looked as though
the heaviness in st. Paul would carry
down the whole market uEtn the rise in
the Fries stiffened the tone. For the
rest, the market was rather dull and
narrower of late. 1t continued to be
characterized by the movement of spec
ialties to a large extent. The south
western railroad stocks continued in
large demand on the general ground OF
the prosperity of that region of the
country and the expectation of q COM
ing amalgamation of important rail-
road properties there. The Wabash Sc
curities came to the front of the move
ment and were bought on a very large
scale. Many of the minor railroad
properties continued unusually con-
spicuous of the p~rofessed belief in their
coming absorption by the great sys-
TENS. Several of the subsidiary Van
derbilt lines were included in this
movement to-day, Chicago, ~Indianapo-
lis & Louisville and New York, Chicago
& st. Louis first preferred moved up 3
points and other stocks of those COM
panies and Canada Southern between l
and 2 points. Lake Erie & Western,
after an early advance of a point, broke
2 and closed unchanged. The Mime
apolis & st. Louis stocks rose 8 for the
common and 2Aa for the preferred st.
Louis & San Francisco suffered from
realizing, losing at one time IL.
There vas large realizing going on
under cover of the points of strength,
and many stocks which advanced re-
acted on profit taking during the course
of the day. Amalgamated Copper, at
ter early weakness, turned very strong
and closed with a net gain of liz. Con-
tinental Tobacco preferred rose 3A,
The continued ease of call money in
spite of the calling of some loans, quiet
ed apprehension on the score of money
rates. The calling of loans was in
preparation for to-morrow's large divi-
dend disbursements, including $4,000
900 by the Standard Oil Company. The
disbursement of these dividend funds
is looked forward to replenish the
money market or to find employment
in the stock market. 1t is worthy OF
notice in connection that some OF the
recent buying of stocks is attributed
to interests who will benefit by to-
morrow's dividend distribution. Lon
don bought quite freely in this mar
ket, especially of Chicago Great West
ern, and a cheerful tone was reported
there by reason of the belief in an
early peace in South Africa. Sterling
exchange hardened here in spite of cas-
Ter money in London and the buy
ing of stocks here for London account.
Buying for remittance on account OF
subscriptions to German municipal
loans is believed to be the cause of the
higher order of rate.
Business in railroad bonds contin-
ues very large, but profit takings in
the speculative issues caused some ir-
regularity in today's price move
ment. Total sales par value $685.

 Mrs. De Jarnette sobbed bitterly when relating the kidnapping to a Graphic reporter in the parlor of the Trulock hotel Thursday afternoon She said that her divorced husband, John De Jarnette, had frequently made threats to the effect that he was going to kidnap her son, but she had given the matter little or no thought, and he was allowed to see the child at any and all times, and by allowing him this privilege Mrs De Jarnette thought that he would not think it advisable to steal the boy. Mrs. De Jarnette stated that her husband also made threats that if she ever married again he would kill her.
 Chief of Police Craig has been un- successful in his efforts to locate the man or child in this city and he has come to the conclusion that the ab- ductor is in other parts Mrs. De Jarnette says that she will find her boy if it takes her ten years to do it. and also prosecute her divorced hus- band, if captured.

BY THE BUSINESS PEOPLE TO
 THE CALL FOR BONUS
For the Proposed New Opera House, and the $5,oo0 Will Soon Be
 Subscribed.

Messrs. M. E. and Simon Bloom and Dr. J. w. Withers, the gentlemen who are going to build first-class opera house in this city, continue to meet with encouragement and success in their work of raising a bonus of $5,000, which will go towards defray- ing the expense incurred in building the play house. The property owners visited have responded literally and there is not any chance for the enter prise to fall through now, as some thing over s3,000 has been raised by the soliciting committee and they are sure to secure the remainder of the amount in a few days. The mer- chants of the city are contributing such amounts as they can afford, as they feel that an opera house will benefit them in more than one way The show people spend lots of money Ill every city they visit. Much of this Will go to merchants. The hotels will especially feel the good effects of an opera house. Everybody should lend aid towards securing this needed en- terprise. The property owners on Barraque street should be more anx- lous than others to subscribe for the theater, as it's erection on that street Will greatly enhance the value of their property
 The largest and wealthiest proper ty owner in the city was shown the list this morning, but refused to even look at it. 4t was the first refusal the committee had received.

INDI1N SUM M ER.

There can be no dispute about the quality of the magnificent weather that came in with the Bicentennial and has hung around here since, as if 10th to leave place of such antiquity and at fractions, but there is some dispute about the time of the beginning of In dian Summer" and the history of the term. It has been traced in printed books as far back as 1794, and earlier references may be discovered. Profes- sor Cleveland Abbe of the Weather bu- reau is conducting an Investigation into it's etymology and history, and those who can contribute new evidence or im- portant data as to local use are request ed to send it to Professor Abbe or the editor of the Journal of American Folk Lore in Boston.
 More should be known about Indian Summer than is known. More knoWl- edge about it may not add to its beauty and its cheer, but it wont do any harm.
