There are many who believe that
the Mopres are getting ready to ac-
quire control of the Chicago & North
western, and it is fact that they
in that road But those well posted
in such matters do not believe that it
will be possible for the Moores to
wrest control of the Northwestern
from the Vanderbilts. The fact that
the Nanderbilts have induced the
Moore syndicate to be satisfied with
one representative on the board of
directors shows that they have the
control of the road well in hand.
Eyes on the Frisco.
Another and more plausible report
is that the Moores are, trying to Sc
cure control of the St. Louis q San
Francisco. This system would be of
far greater value to the Rock Island
than the Northwestern. The latter
is practically a parallel line while the
former would extend the Rock Island
system from St. Louis and Kansas

TENDENCY TO REALIZE PROFITS
Where Considerable Advances Had
Occurred. Shown In Stock
"a Market, Thursday.

New York, Feb. 14.-Thursday' >
stock market was similar in charac-
ter to that of Tuesday, but showed an
increased disposition to realize
profits where considerable advances
had occurred. The buying and bid
ding up of other stocks to make fresh
points Of strength to cover the realiz-
ing was in evidence, but rather less
effective and was less persistently
maintained, the earlier gains being
largely wiped out in the late reac-
ton. The local traction stocks were
under decided pressure, and notwith-
standing the support accorded to
them they exercised a depressing in
fluence on the rest OF the market.
The same was true of Amalgamated
Copper, which sagged away under
constant offerings without much evil
dence of support, closing at a net
loss of 211s. There was no news tc
account for the weakness. The de-
preston of the local fractions was
of course due to the proposition OF
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit direc-
tors to issue bonds to the extent Of
$3.50, 100000. The argument that this
abundant capital would check the dl-
version of current earnings into the
betterments and extensions and
would thus hasten the period Of divi-
dend disbursements apparently fail
ed to reassure speculative sentiment,
and the open buying of the stocks by
inside interests wtGS equally unavail-
ing. The news of the proposed bond
issue also upset calculations of a
coming merger of all the Greater
New York transit facilities, which
has been the instrument in the hands
Of the spectators for some time
past. The failure of the announce
ment Of the details of the Metropolis
tan Street Railways new financial
plan, which was expected Thursday
added to the feeling of doubt and dis
trust, although that stock itself was
best supported Of the group. Money
continued easy and did not enter into
consideration. London had appar
emily been relieved OF pressure fol-
gold from Paris. and further exports
from here are not in immediate pros
pect. The steel stocks showed some
early response to the very favorable
conditions reported in the trade, but
relapsed with the rest of the market
The market closed slightly irregular
but generally easy. Z

done in bonds, but the movement oil

IMPORTANT DECISION

OF Interest to ola Men aud Land OWE
ers Rsnded Dswn by Judge -. HI.
willis in the GREAT Court.
New Mar;insville, Feb. I3,-An
important oil case has just been de-
cided on the cbancery side of court
by Judge M. II. Willis. It Is a
case In which upward of 100000
was involved. The facts of the
case were as follows: In 1873 AL
len Edgell decided to his daughter
Mary, and her husband. Nathan
Higgins, tract of 400 acres of
land. A few months later Nathan
Higgins, her husband, decided the
entire tract of land to John w.
Starkey. Mary Hie gins died In
1875, she having, however. never
joined In the deed to Starkey. Her
husband. Nathan Higgins, survived
until 1898. A few weeks alter his
death the heirs of Mary Higgins
brought suit for the recovery OF her
one-half interest Ia the tract of land
and secured an Injunction against
the South Penn and Eureka Pipe
Line companies, restraining them
from paying for oil procured from
said farm, oil having been found
there In large quantities. The case
was referred to commissioner B. T.
Bowers. and his report at the Janu-
airy term of court was adverse to
the claimants. The court took
the same views and rendered a de-
cision which Is one of the strongest
decisions for the quieting of titles
of land In this state, yet rendered
by the courts. It Is as follows:
I. By the conveyance from Allen
Edgell to Nathan Higgins, Mary
Higgins was seized of an undivided
half interest In the tract of land in
controversy, as her separate prop
erty.
2. She had notice Of the entry of
John w. Srarkey and his posses.
sion of the land under color of title
to the whole tract, and was thereby
ousted and disseized of her interest
and estate therein.
3 Immediately upon such custer
and disseizlng taking place, by
virtue of the married woman's en-
aiding act of 1898. she had a right
to institute and maintain such suit
as would have protected he seper-
ate property, as though she were a
femesole, aud, therefore, the statute
of limitations began to run again
her In her life time.
q. The fact that John w. Starkey
received a deed from Nathan Hig-
gins did not make his, Starkey's,
possession any the less hostile
against the heirs OF Mary Higgins
S. After the death of Mary Hig.
gins the heirs were not without
remtd,; they had the right to 60
into a court o. equity, and have the
deed to John W. Starkey set aside,
so far as 1t affected their interests,
and cancelled TO that same extent
upon their titles as Reinstatement
In fee.
6. Where the statute of limita-
tons has begun to run against a
married woman's claim during her
life time, 1t will continue to run
against her heirs, though they are
minors, and though their estate Is
postponed to the surviving husband
as tenant by courtesy.
7. The adverse possession of Jno.
W. Starkey and those claiming un-
der him for more than twenty years
next prior to the institution of this
suit is a bar to the demands of the
plaintiffs.
This Is regarded by lawyers as
the most important decision for The
quieting of titles of land in this
state rendered by the courts on the
points involved.

One Hundred and Active.

r. II. Pitcher, who has been visiting
for the past week, returned to his home
in Custer City on the Burlington yester-
day afternoon. Mr.. Pitcher is the father
of Joe and Charley Pitcher, and although
nearly one hundred years Of a~ge-being
past ninety .seyen-still retains all Of the
energies of middle age, and is as youth.
full in appearance as any man Of fifty
years. He Is strong and active and to
talk to him, or to look at him, one would
not for a moment believe that he is as
old a man as he really is. Joe and
Charlie are both men Of middle age, and
although they can do a good days work
their father can hoe his row with them
any time. Before coming to Deadwood
the old gentleman not only assisted in
putting in the greatest part of a crop on
a 60. acre farm, but did more work about
the place than the hired man. He looks
as though he still had vitality sufficient
to carry him through fifty years more of
ife.-Pioneer-Times.
