was very little cash demand and the move
ment in the country was light. Estimated

be no feature in corn and it is simply fol-

Oats have been very dull today, with
very moderate fluctuations. There seem

sale all day at 43, but very light demand
at any price. We note better move

moved in line with the general market.
In the miscellaneous group there were

in both stocks were shaded in the sub

NEW YORK, April 21.-The one essen
tial fact in todays stock market was
that for reasons sufficient unto them
selves the operators somewhat loosely
designated as the Chicago crowd pro
ceeded forthwith to liquidate a large part
of the stocks which they accumulated
throughout the last week. The selling on
this account alone was reasonably esti-
mated as aggregating fully 100000 shares
of stocks. II was conducted with the
same freedom with which last weeks pur
chases were made in the market.
Not the slightest attempt was made 10
disguise the sources from which the sell
ing orders originated. and no reasons
whatever were vouchsafed for the abrupt
change in front on the part OF the lead
ing spirits in the manipulation Ad
vices respecting the Western agricultural
situation we're conflicting. Excessive heat
was reported in some directions in the
early part OF the day, but later on there
was a rapid fall in temperature through
out the winter wheat belt, and showers
were promised in sections most needing

Decline Not Checked.

This news was sufficient to cause quite
a sharp reaction in the grain market,
but it had little effect whatever in check
ing the downward tendency of stocks.
This is not to be marveled at, inasmuch
as the weather reports from the winter
wheat belt were decidedly discouraging
throughout the whole of last week, when
the stock market was being actively man
ipuiated to higher level.
Still, today's decided recession in the
stock market caused a greater amount of
attention to be devoted TO the agricultural
outlook and when, with the course Of the
day. the grain market stiffened up again
the violent decline il stocks, which had
shown some appearances of eliminating
toward noon, was resumed.

FOOTBALL.
An Interesting Game between Jackson
and Sutter Creek

The first football game along the
mineral belt of this county was played
on the afternoon of New Years day,
between teams selected from Jackson
and Sutter Creek. Baseball of late
years has fallen to second place in
point of interest, when compared with
football. A number of young men
from this county have been attending
schools in the large cities, and have
naturally taken part in the games
played by their schoolmates. Return
ing home for the holidays, they con-
ceived the idea of getting up football
game, for amusement only, between
Jackson and Sutter. The game was
played in the Fullen field, near Mar
tells station. 1t attracted quite an at
tendance from both Jackson and SUIT
ter considering the shortness of the
notice, as the game was only arranged
two days previously. An admission of
Is cents was charged, and over S25 was
taken in at the gates. The players
were as follows:

New Years Ball.

Ursula Parlor No. ], N. D. G. W.,
gave its customary annual ball for the
benefit of the parlor in Loves hall on
New Years eve. The weather was all
that could be desired; and those in
charge exerted themselves in every
way to make the affair success. They
were rewarded with an attendance tax
ing the capacity of the hall to its ut
most. The patrons came almost ex-
clusively from Jackson and vicinity
Everything passed off smoothly. Mrs.
Rose Carley was floor director, and
Mesdames Lena Podesta, Carrie Cal
vim, Rose Podesto, and Misses Nellie
Mugford and Tillie Botto were floor
managers. Music was furnished by
Prof. Pothe's orchestra. Dancing was
kept up until five O'Clock next morn
ing. The financial outcome cannot be
aseertained at present, except that the
receipts will cover the expenses, with
probably q small sum over.

Gives Himself Up.

After nearly starving to death in the
chain locker of the transport Thomas,
Charles Allen, prisoner, finally gave
himself up Saturday night. He was one
of the chain gang sent home from
Manila to be transferred to Alcatraz en-
route for lone. From the reformatory
at the latter place he made his escape,
and giving a fictitious age had enlisted
in the army. In the Philippines his
record was looked into on account of a
number of escapades in which he was
the principal actor. This brought the
fact to light that he was runaway
from a reformatory. So he was sent
home.
The day the Thomas got in, Allen
managed to break jail and hid himself
in the chain locker. When the officer
on guard came to count noses he found
103 prisoners, whereas he should have
had 104. A search was made and Allen
was posted as missing. Saturday he
crawled out of his lair and asked
Steward Pfeifer to give him something
to eat, as he was starving. Allen got
square meal and was then turned over
to the army authorities, who will later
send him to the lone Reform School

Christmas at Franklin.

A Christmas tree and festival was
given at the Franklin school house on
Christmas eve. and without exception
was the most pleasant affair ever given
in that district. The room was most
tastefully decorated with ferns, cedar,
and berries, and from the center of the
ceiling was suspended the arms of a
cross, with the words that have lived
for ages and never grown old-''Peace
on earth" After well rendered pro-
gram, Santa Claus appearance was
hailed with delight. and the little ones
were repaid for the patience in await
ing his arrival. A curtain was drawn
and displayed an immense tree glitter
ing with lights and loaded with presents.
Truly, more beautiful or loaded tree
was never seen. Santa Claus, assisted
by three little girls, soon commenced
''the work of destruction, much to
the merriment of all, and the tree was
relieved of its load of toys, bags of
candy and nuts, and oranges, besides
many useful as well as pretty presents.
After this a dainty lunch was spread to
which all did justice. After more sing
ing and playing, those assembled went
home, their hearts filed with Christ
mas cheer and kindness. The program
was as follows: Song, by the children;
recitation, Mabel Wilson; essay on
breathing, Earl LESLEY; instrumental
duet, violin and organ, Jesse and
Minerva Denend; A Boys Dilemma,
Ray LESLEY; recitation, Myra Miller;
lecture on women, Jessie LESLEY; in
strumental duet, Jesse and Minerva

Mrs. F. Goodman and Mrs. w. ].
LESLEY; farce. Assisting Hesikiah, :"
Oliver Case, Birdie Mexican and Jessie

Much praise is due the ladies of the
district for their untiring efforts to
make the affair pleasant, and they may
feel proud of the success.

Lecture on sclavonic Race.

Rev. Sebastian Dabovich will deliver
lecture in Webb hall on Tuesday
evening, January 7, at o'clock, on
The Slavonic race, its history, GUS
toms, music, etc. The proceeds will
be devoted toward paying off the debt
upon the newly erected parsonage.
There is debt of about 5000 on this
building, and it is hoped by this lecture
and other lectures to be given in the
church. to wipe off this Indebtedness.
The lecture will undoubtedly be highly
entertaining. Ticket may be bad of
A. kPerovich, Freeman's store, r.

Tomorrow evening the rev gentleman
will lecture in the Greek church on
''The Immortality of the soul, 4" and on
Sunday afternoon at o'clock, on the
"Divine Revelation. Both these lee
lures will be free. A collection will be
made on each occasion to pay off the
before mentioned debt. The ability of
the lecturer and the intensely interest
ing subjects to be treated, combined
with the worthy object in view, will no
doubt command full audience on each
occasion,

A Runaway.
PardOe.

F A runaway team on Main street yes
terday afternoon came within an ace
of causing a serious disaster. It was
the team attached to the ice delivery
wagon of John Strohm. While the
driver was delivering keg at Arditto's
saloon the team started at full gallop
down street. In turning Ginocchio's IS
corner the wagon was capsized: scatter
ing its cold-storage contents in the
mud, at the same time carrying away
two posts supporting the porch in front
of COset's saloon. The horses still kept
up their mad gait up Water street, and
turned into Ginocchio's yard where the
fruit dryer is located, smashing both
gates in making the entrance. Ginoc-
chio's team and wagon, also a buggy,
were standing in the yard, and the out
look became grave indeed. Fortunately
at this crisis, one of the horses legs got
tangled up with the wagon pole, and
they were brought to a standstill. The
wagon came out of the contest sadly
battle-scarred; the horses escaped COM
paratively unhurt.
