TIE LEpaER OPPOSES BONDS.

DT. J. B. Hawkins thinks that the

posed to bonding a q general Proposi-

itself as opposed 10 Dr.. Hawkins pro-
position The LEDeKR led the fight

prosperity follows bond issues IS en-
tirely false. Surprising Mexico had a

fact maintains In reference to a city

uzL Dr. Hawkins seems to think that
the people Of Audrain are in need Of

in other particulars this would defeat
it before the citizens and tax-payeB Of

the LEDGER did not see any necessity

honest in reference to what he things

Wall Street is Not Easy Yet
as Regards
CONTROL OF THE MP,
Brokers Buying and Selling Northern
Pacific Stocks at the Same
Figure.

BY Associated Press:
New York, May 11.-Within the live
stock exchange and consolidated ex-
changes today, Wall street was very
quiet. All interest in the financial
world remains absorbed in the great
contest for the control of the North
ern Pacific and rivalries that have
been caused by that battle. Heavy
Union Pacific sales yesterday provok-
ed much comment and today the
street" was wondering whether the
fight of the railway giants was to be
transferred to that stock again. The
high price for Northern Pacific in Lon
don today was taken by many as in
dicating that buying for the control
of the property was still going on. At
the time Kuhn, Loeb & Co were settl-
ing with shorts yesterday at $3.50 a
share. they were paying the same
price over the counter to all who
offered securities for instant delivery.
