Edgar S. Wilson, the Republi-
can referee, is fast losing out in
Mississippi. His connection with
the Roosevelt administration
helped to defeat Longino, helped
TO elect Vardaman and on top OF
it all the New Orleans Picayune,
whose Mississippi department
he has conducted for years, an
nounces that henceforth the Re-
publican referee will not be con-
nected with it. This looks like
rubbing it in.

New York Stock.

Wall Street. New York. Feb. 7.-STOCKS
Opening prices of stocks were inclined
to sag. although there were a few small
gains in the Gould group, led by wabash
preferred, and in Reading. The movement
in the market was very sluggish and the
business was very light
The Wabash stocks developed new
strength the common rising nearly
point and the preferred rs points St.
Louis Southern preferred and General
Electric gained IA points and Information
al Power 2 points. Other stocks were but
little affected and there was a sharp de-
cline upon the appearance Of the bank
statement which caused the average level
to sink below last night. Wabash pre-
ferred rose an extreme 81 points in the
final dealings and the market hardened
again. Buffalo Rochester ard Pittsburg
jumped A points and Sugar gained 4
point. The close was active and firm
Concerted buying of the Gould stocks
lent improved tone to the market and
there was a squirt of activity OF higher
prices all around. Wabash preferred, Mis-
souri, Pacific, the Kansas Texas stocks
Texas Pacific and Iowa Central preferred
rose a point or more. but gains otherwise
We're confined to small fractions. St Pau
Reading and Erie were bought with more
freedom and the United States Steel
stocks also displayed considerable firm
ness. Efforts to realize caused some show
ing of prices later and business became
cutie dull.

Ellsworth. Kan. Feb. 7.-On in con-
siderable quantity has just been dis
covered on the farm ofJoseph Urbanek
two miles north and one mile west Of
Ellsworth Mr. Urbanek found such
strong traces of oil in an open well that
he abandoned it and commenced the
drilling of a new well. hoping to oD-
tain supply of good water. Last
evening water was struck which show
ed q large percentage of oil. Drilling
was at once stopped and samples of the
oil brought to this city. A test made
by a local chemist showed about 20 per
cent Of crude oil in a gallon of water
An expert in oil will arrive from Chi
cago and make a thorough examina-
ton OF the find.

setting the lower movement IN quota
tons of country produce, coal and coke
petroleum, hides and some grades OF
leather. Owing to the steadiness Of the
large majority of prices, the net move
ment of prices as a whole was only very
slightly downward, less than per cent
decline being noted for the month OF
January. Chief among the staples
showing strength is raw cotton. While
buyers of iron and steel evince ten
dency to stand off as regards distant
deliveries, pressing needs for immediate
purposes induce numerous small sales,
which make up a considerable aggre-
gate of crude material. Finished pro-
ducts are as active as heretofore. Rails,
structural materials, wire, bars, railroad
material and even tin plates are IN act
i've request. Some large orders for pipes
have also been booked, but a good sized
order for steel rails had to be placed
abroad owing to the inability of do
nestle manufacturers to make de-
Hveries
The most important interest in the
trade reports orders on its books for
$500, 900 tons, the largest future business
of which there is record. The markets
for foreign materials are rather firmer.
An additional feature making for sta
bility of present iron prices is the feel
ing that iron ore prices will be advanc-
ed this spring. This. taken in connee-
ton with the higher cost of fuel and
advanced freight rates, would seem to
postpone the day when the long predict
ed downward revision of prices is to &C
cur Large sales $4,000 tons) of open
hearth steel are reported at PittSburg,
where structural material, plates and
bars are active. Tin plates are stronger
and most of the mills are in operation
Steel bar manufacturers will adhere to
the $3.50 rate. A Pittsburg concern,
building telephone conduits, has secur-
ed a 81 100000 contract from the Russian
government

Strong Opening in Wheat and
1t Holds Well.
Same Conditions Prevailed in
the Corn Pit.
LIVE STOCK TRADE.
Cattle Remain Stationary and
Without Feature.
Hogs Continue Weak and
Little Lower.

Chicago, Feb. 7.-WHEAT-Firm cables
and reports OF good export inquiry caused
g strong opening in wheat and May was
5kd3sc higher at 7s51a79lkc. The price held
strong at the advance, the majority Of the
sales being made around 795ac. The local
crowd was on the buying side, but Of
ferings were extremely light, the strength
OF the market being due more 10 the scar
city of offerings than any Increased de-
mand. Minneapolis and Duluth reported
receipts of 401 cars, which. with local re-
ceipts of SO cars q cars of which were con
tract grade), made a total for the three
points of 4S4 cars. against S52 cars last
week and 30 cars a year ago.
The market was extremely strong
throughout the entire session, advices from
San Francisco reporting good demand
there for export. Foreign advices in gem
eral were bullish which added to the
strength. Under these influences May sold
up to S014c and closed with a gain of Ia
Use, at s01s0s0l4c.
CORN-The same conditions prevailed in
the corn pit as were manifested in wheat
the local sentiment seeming to favor the
bull side with good buying orders, but
there was little corn for sale. The open
ing was firm. in sympathy with wheat and
on steady cables with May unchanged to
a shade higher. at 447sc to 447sQ 45c, later
selling up to 455sc on fair demand from
commission houses. Local receipts We're
Ffrmnes continued throughout the day
and May closed strong at the top price, at
454sQ45iac, a gain of 1au9sc.
OAIS-There was good demand for
oats at he start. influenced by smaller re-
ceipts. a good cash demand and on the
frmness i'm other grains May opened a
shade higher. at 371sc. and sold up to 3T9se
during the first half hour. Local receipts
were 1d6 cars.
VISIONS-Provisions opened easier
on larger receipts of hogs than We're esti-
mated and on lower prices at the yards

WILL BEGIN MONDAY.
Investigation of Harvester Trust to
Be Started.

The investigation of the harvester
trust viii begin next Monday afternoon.
The officers of the State Implement
Dealers association, and a number of
dealers not far from Topeka have been
subpoenaed to testify. Letters have
also been written to the managers of
the various divisions of the harvester
combine inviting them to appear before
the committee and tell their side of the
matter. These managers have their
Headquarters in Kansas City and the
investigating committee cannot compel
them to appear unless they wish to do
so, as they are outside the state
The dealers are summoned to bring
their contracts for this year and last
year also Senator Ward who started
the investigation. says that last year
some dealers where there was sharp
competition, got certain machines for as
low as SIS, while others were charged
$50 and S95. This year a uniform rate
Of S95 is charged. To the dealer who
has been getting the S85 rate this seems
like a big raise. But this is not the
only raise. Heretofore as a usual thing
dealers have had to pay freight only
from Kansas City. The new contracts
make them pay freight from the various
factories. This in addition to the other
increases makes a great deal of differ
ence to the dealers.

Mr.. "Bun" Adams, of Butler,
Breaks Out.
He Assails Mr.. fuckers Harm
less Little Bill.
A BATTLE OF WORDS.
1t Is Declared a Draw at the
End.
\ BATTLE OF WORDS.
A Few Suggestions About the
Trademark Measure.

Those who seem to know say there
should be printed instructions on the
person Of Representative Bun" Adams,
reading something like this: DO not
tarry too long after lighting. Gitl" IN
structions worded similar to the fore
going are attached to overgrown fire
crackers. This is required by law, so
that he who runs may read and he who
reads may run before the thing takes
off an arm. 1t is the publicly expressed
opinion of several prominent legislato
that Mr.. Adams should be classed with
the giants" He has an explosive way
about him, and is so extremely and I'M
reasonably sudden that the victim
sometimes fails to get away.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1903-02-07
REPRESENTATIVE BUN" ADAMS
BREAKS OUT.

Now. yesterday for instance, when
Representative Tucker of Greenwood
county wanted to pass a nice little bill
relative to bonded Indebtedness, what
ever that is, and school boards, he was
not looking for trouble. His mission
was not one of gore He was unarmed,
and neutral Then, just when it be-
gan to look like it was going to get
through a hole in the fence, behold this
man from Butler county, who rises up
and says that highway robbery and
grand larceny are juvenile crimes COM
pared with the one which the gentleman
from GreenwOOd-would fain saddle
onto an unsuspecting and innocent pub
lie. This called for return from Mr..
Tucker and at the end of the first round
lit was boss. and boss" fifteen all, a
draw.
The peacemakers finally interfared
and squelehed the angry flames by call
ing time. BlOOdshed was avoided. Mr..
Adams was cut off before he could do
any great damage. but 1t was made ap-
parent that It is unsafe to light him
without getting behind something. 1t
is a source of wonder how he ever came
to be called Bun" by way of a nick
name. 1t was certainly not because his
system contained any great amount of
rabbit. He should have been called. by
the full name, Bunyan, spelled different
~, If q nickname was insisted uD on.
It would have been more appropriate.
A buniOn is aggressive and makes its
bun is the personif1cation of meek
ness, with no great desire except to con-
ceal his person in the bosom of a corn
shock. That does not describe ]. Bun
Adams.
A bill providing for the destruction
of the false trade mark business has
passed the house. Hereafter the bogus
stamp. seal or stencil will be subject
to investigation. All trade marks
shall be filed with the proper authori-
ties, (by the way, the bill was made
to make a job for these aforesaid prop
er authorities). and then certain spot
ters, Ga few more jobs will soak out
that which is bogus, graduate the
same and deliver it to aforesaid prop
er authorities This may not be the
exact wording of Mr.. Chambers bill
but it is SO expansive that the mean
ing is no doubt touched around the
edges by this explanation. 1t follows
that every tool, utensil. fabric or gar
ment which the eagle eye of the inspec-
tor may size up as Tnis-trade marked
/ will be out of a Job.
