STOCK MARKET IS DULL AND
IN HANDS OF PROFESSIONALS.
VOLUME OF OPERATIONS
DWINDLES CONSTANTLY.
Motives of Operators Not Clear
From Any Apparent Influence
in Financial World.

New York. April 2-The stock market to-
day continued almost wholly in professional
hands. and there was a further dw!ndling
in the volume Of operations. The tone OF
the market was heavy TO weak throughout.
The motives which prompt the professional
operators are difficult to discern. on Tues
day they bought stocks with money at 10
per cent. in the confidence that the call
money market wal about TO relax. Yes
terday they sold stocks again. although
there was n distinct relaxation in the call
money rate, with a promise OF a further
growth of ease. Some other consideration
apparently had interviewed which caused a
question whether the easier money market
was destined 10 benefit the stock market.
The Southern Pacific quarrel weighed on
the market. The Developments in this con-
troyersy showed nothing to AFFECT directly
the value of the securities concerned. but
the bitterness Of feeling shown by the con-
tending. parties and the boldness of their
habitual methods I'm stock-market opera
tons kept alive a fear that a speculative
duel might be pIec!Pitated In the market 1T
self. with probably disastrous consequences
10 many Innocent onlookers.
ANOTHER BAD FACTOR.
Another disturbing factor was the enew-
al of liquidation in Pennsylvania, carrying
IL back to last weeks low level. The selling
received a renewed impetus from the Feb
ruary statement OF net earnings. which
showed the expenses increased more than
e"NS 10 hNNh a. inc ihCEcdsc IN 6EUSS
earnings. with 4 corresponding cut IN the
net returns.
The new earnings for the two months are
In CONSCIENCE over n million dollars less
than for the same two months last year.
Taken in connection with the February
Union Pacific statement published Tuesday,
showing a decrease in net earnings OF Sl3,-
IA. there is a disposition TO suTmise that the
recent liquidation In that stock may have
been from other than professional bear
sources. The mildnes of the demand for
stocks for short account. and the little help
given to any rally in the market from the
demsnd TO cover, emphasize this impress

the party has been divided into fac.
lions which fought each other for the
spoils. 1t is because of federal pat
ronage that the party has so often
suffered shipwreck." That statement
was expressly made for home con.
sumption, but Mr.. Kerens enunciates
other truths which are of general ap-
plicatlon.
Thus he says that ''if the welfare
of the Republican party, rather than
of self, dominated party leaders, we
would have no trouble" and further;
Experience and observation have
taught the lesson, which is as old as
this government itself, that appoint
ment of individuals to Office creates,
with the unsuccessful applicants, a
disappointed class, who become in
different to party success; even more
than thiS-in their keen diSappOint-
ment they are often willing to see
the opposition succeed" If this un-
shrinking condemnation Of a petty
and selfish spirit had been delivered
by professional performer, to whom
party pride and zeal are offensive and
scarcely Ineligible, it might have
done more harm than good, If noticed
at all; but, proceeding from practi-
cal politician of national reputation,
1t deserves to be prayerfully consider
ed. Mr.. Kerens has done creditable
thing In talking frankly to his Miss

which his letter has obtained leads

A Heart to Heart Talk.

The bartenders of Jersey City are

Well, why not9
Sensible, isn't 1t?
Many bartenders are total abstain
ers. Lay 1t down bluntly that the
bartender who drinks every time his
customer invites him will not hold
his job very long.
Notice two facts
l. The temperance question, so far
as the business world is concerned, is
In process of natural solution. Rail-
roads, corporations, business men have
put their ban on the drink habit.
Even the saloonkeeper demands a So
Der man behind the bari
2. The bartender knows the effect
Of drink better than any other man.
The object lessons are before him con-
Stantly. He needs no temperance lee
lures. He sees the outcome.
Now, Mr.. Workingman-
The liquor dealer openly confesses
that the wage earners are the main
support of his business. And
If his bartender cannot afford to
drink can you afford it?
The bartender Is also a wage.earner.
He gets good wages, too. But he does
not patroni2e the bar. He patronlzeS
the butcher and the baker. He buys
thick steaks for his family. There's
soup and celery and a course dinner.
His wife wears good clothes. His boy
wears white collars at school and his
daughter consults the dressmaker and
the millinsr.
Are you one Of bis daily customers?
How about your family? How long
since your wife had a new dress? Do
your children appear as well as the
bartender's? Or do you buy liver when
the bartender gets steaks
You love your wife and kids as the
bartender loves his. Doesn't it hurt
you in a tender place when at school
and in the street your children shrink
from comparison with the bartender's
well-grOomed children? Or your wife

Think 1t over.

"If the bartenders are going to form

More Political Strategy.

Because Phillips county did not &C
solldly republican In the last election
is the reason offered by some for the
removal Of Chas. Hull, Of Klrwin,
from the board Of directors of the
Hutchinson reformatory.
This is not good reason and prob.
ably is not the one that determined
the action of Gov. Bailey, Equally
shallow is the plea that Mr.. Hull was
removed to punish what is known as
the "bosS-buster" faction. Had the
removed official been representative
of that faction, this argument would
be good. The real reason is
more likely to be this: Our distlng-
uished townsman, John Q. Royce, has
interests which the machine element
is bound to care for, and it is expected
that be will be the next railroad COM
missioner. Two good appointments
10 this county is considered too
much, so Mr.. Hull had to go. II the
argument that Phillips county is not
republican is good in one case, why
not in the Otherf
This is only another shrewd polltl-
cal move 10 strengthen the machine
and to reward its most ardent sup
porters.

What is the matter with Phillips
county? Phillipsburg, Marvin and
Logan all report building boom,
actually begun. Land Is selling for
oetter prices than ever before and is
attracting foreign capital. 1t Is a
safe and alluring investment. Crop
prospects are extremely good. Some
few people are dissatisfied and are
moving out, but more are coming in.
No, there is nothing the matter with
this county-it's winner, and the
coming season will be the best In It's
history.

SUICIDE!
Maggie Dull Takes Her Life
By Shooting.

Saturday morning about o'clock,
Miss Maggie Dull of Mound township,
committed suicide by shooting herself
with shotgun. No cause is assign

She took the gun, went over a bank

and placed the gun to the pit of the
stomach and fired. Instant death fol-
lowed

of age and had been working for the
family of Walter Greene in this city.
About a month ago she was taken

work there. After her return she
showed signs of melancholia which
seemed to grow upon her and finally
ended in her taking her own life.
She was not known to have had
any trouble of any kind.
Coroner Nelson was summoned and
an inquest was held Saturday even
