NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York. June 23-The dominating IN
fluence of The small professional opera
tor was manifest in the tendency of price'
of railroad stocks to react to a previous
tive operations was in the Gould group
led by the Wabashes. and in Reading
The industrial department was weak with
the exception Of one or two unimportan'
stocks and was under pressure of what
looked like genuine liquidation.
The news of the day included a report
Of an appeal TO a higher court of the city
of Pittsburg's case against the entranc6
into PittsbuTg by Wabash and an author
lied statement of the project for a new
to connect with a proposed railroad t.
Los Angeles. But the large buying of the
various Gould stocks was not checked in
any degree by this news. Manhattan
shared in the strength of the Gould
stocks. The ~ point rise in Reading was
apparently designed as an answer to the
address to the public by the president o.
the United Mine Workers. Most of this
gain was lost on the reaction. The recent
heavy tone of AmalSamated Copper ais
gave way to positive weakness in view OF
the continuing decline in the price of cop
per and the unprecedented production.
Supporting orders seemed to be with
drawn in United States Steel and that
stock suffered net loss of nearly a
point.
The reports of minor labor troubles,
while not directly affecting any special
stocks. have a somewhat depressing ef-
feet on sentiment and several reports OF
voluntary increases in wages instead OF
having reassuring effect We're taken as
pointing to the prevailing discomfort of la
Dor. The closing was easy at the consid-
cradle reaction in railroad stocks.
The bond market was moderately active
and irregular. Total sales. par value, ST.

per cent. on the last call.

WatervilIe's Gala Week.

Not only all of old Kennebec but all
of Maine joins in sincere congratula-
tions to Waterville on this happy
birthday week, the week of one hun
dred years for that beautiful and pros
porous city. 1t is an occasion we'll
worth celebrating, the close of full
century of corporate existence as a
municipality, and that Maine city or
town is neglecting a privilege and 4
duty when it lets such an occasion
pass unobserved. Waterville is blessed
with loyal and public spirited sons
and daughters and this celebration was
conceived by them and is being carried
out by them in the proper spirit. 1t is
witnessing a grand homecoming and
reunion, which, though wholly in
formal. is one of the best features of
the week. And there are the music,
the bunting, the oratory, the parade,
the receptions, the games, and the
numberless festivities and functions
and features which are making the
week a memorable one for the city and
for all who are fortunate enough to be
it's guests. All that Watervile has I'M
dertaken it has done we'll. 1t had the
talent and the enterprise to make the
celebration an unqualified success and
they were wisely employed. 1t will be
a thousand pities if today, the great
day of all, is not blessed with perfect
weather.
Waterville has much to celebrate,
much to be proud of and thankful for,
as its Tooth milestone is left behind.
The city is excclled in prosperity by
none in Maine. 1t is highly favored in
its location; its great industries are
firmly established: it will be helped by
it's new railroad connections; it has
splendid educational institutions; its
past is full of progress and notable
achievements. and the skies of its flu
ture are bright with promise. The
growth of Watervile has been rapid in
recent years, and its loyal and tireless
citizens are justified in the faith they
have in its future. And so the Journal
joins the friends of Waterville every
where in congratulations and best
wishes, and hopes that at the end of
another century Waterville will have
as much in proportion to celebrate as
it has at this time, and that the Water
vile of POOP will celebrate as fittingly
and happily as does the Waterville Of
TODAY.

oath Of Office to his successor, Hon
| Clarence Hale.
Judge Smith put in a very busy day

! were for game violations. George +.
| Hildreth of ChesuncoOk was found
guilty of killing a deer and fined $40 and
costs. John Smart of the same place,
was discharged on payment of 500 and
costs for the same offence. The case
of Herbert Stanchfield, also of that
place. for killing a deer, was mol
pressed. The case of Hildreth and
Smart for killing a partridge was con-
tinued.
A young lad by the name of Frank
Glew was taken to Houlton, Saturday
morning, in a precarious condition.
Young Glew was at work on the gravel
train between Masardis and Houlton
and in some unknown way was run
over by the train. The unfortunate
boy sustained injuries about the head
and his right arm was badly mangled,
necessitating amputation at the right
shoulder. DIR. T. j. FitZmaurice per-
formed the operation, and says his pa
tient is slowly rallying. The youth is

City building, he opened them and
found that they We're packed full of the

committed to Jail in Dover Mcpherson

talk with him and an examination of
the warrant secured his release. Nc
Pherson was in Bangor, Saturday, and
was feeling mighty glad of his narrow
escape from a long term of imprison-
ment in the Jail in Dover. The evidence
which it has always been claimed Nc
Pherson could give in the case was of
the most important character and
would have been very important link
in the chain of evidence in the case.

There is an odor about Panama which
Is by no means entirely sweet in the
nostrils of Americans. If that route be
selected it is altogether likely that it
will be many long day before ships

That there We're French corruption
and French incapacity in the earlier at
tempt at a Panama canal does not
mean that there will be an engineering
flasco and the stealing of millions when
the United States undertakes a canal
project at Panama. Uncle Sam is a
different sort of a hustler from those
that France produces and has different
ideas of national honesty The old
odor about Panama should not prevent
the interoceanic waterway from being
constructed there if the route seems
better than that proposed at Mica
ragua. 1t is an isthmian canal that
America wants and that without any
more unnecessary delay.

Read II In His Newspaper.

George Schaub, well known Ger
man citizen of New Lebanon, Ohio, is
constant reader OF the Dayton Volks-
zeintung. He knows that this paper
aims to advertise only the best in it's
columns. and when he saw Chamber
lain's Pain Balm advertised therein for
lame back, he did, not hesitate in buy
ing a bottle of it for his wife, who for
eight weeks had suffered with the most
terrible pains in her back and could
get no relief. He says: After using
the Pain Balm for a few days my wife
said to me, I feel as though born
anew and before using the entire con-
tents of the bottle the unbearable pains
had entirely vanished and she could
again take up her household duties"
He is very thankful and hopes that all
suffering likewise will hear of her won
derful recovery. This valuable lini-
ment is for sale by John Coughlin, III

For Better Hiqhways.

The interest in the good roads move
ment which Maine is beginning to feel
and which is being manifested in sew
eral score towns by their application
for the State and provided by the last
Legislature. is small beginning. but
it is much better than nothing. 1t is
sincerely to be hoped that it will lead
to much more being done in the future
by State and county and town for i'm
proved highways than has ever been
done in the past. There is crying need
of such work in our State, as a drive
in any rural section will demonstrate.
If a private corporation owned Maine
one of its first improvements would be
better roads, ana it would be
profitable investment.
There is something to be learned from
New Jersey which is a leader in the
good roads movement. There were con-
structed in that state in 1901 no less
than 40 miles of permanent country
highway, the work being done at cost
of $500. 900 in accordance with the state
aid plan. by which the state and
county governments divide tie ex-
pense. The half million spent in New
Jersey last year seems an immense
sum, and yet we are assured that 50
popular are the good roads. and so sat
isfied are the taxpayers that from all
sections comes a clamor for extending
the work, and it is stated that this
wear the expenditure will be million,
and that 200 miles of road will be built.
Henry I. Budd has an article in the
current number of the Municipal Jour-
nal in which he points out the fact
that these new and everlasting roads
that are being built by New Jersey are
adding much to the value of property
throughout the country districts. Dur
ing the last year the taxable value OF
the state has increased twenty-seven
million dollars, and although this is not
all attributable to good roads. yet a
large portion of it is.
Mr.. Rudd says it is impossible for
New Jersey, or any other state in the
Union to have good roads without
some sort of a state aid scheme, adds
| that it is foolish to attempt any other
scheme, and then enters into the sub
ject in detail, and shows how impor-
| tant a place roads have held in history
MANY farmers in New Jersey opposed
the building of macadam, gravel and
| other permanent roads at first, and
complained of the expense, but now the
good roads idea has no better friends
than those who at first opposed the
movement so strenuously. New Jersey
has pointed out the way for Other
states. though money does not come
into all state treasures as easily as il
does into that of New Jersey.
