BEALS SCHOOL HOUSE BURNS
Frame Building Entirely Destroyed
by Fire Early Last
Evening.

! Fire which broke out early Tuesday
evening entirely destroyed thu north build
| ing OF the Beals schools, located at Forty
| eighth and Walnut streets, together with
the boiler house, which was located Just
south. Another building, situated south OF
the boiler room, was slightly damaged by
being scorched. Through the efforts OF the
| tremen most of the fixtures and books were
removed from the destroyed building. The
loss is estimated to aggregate $4,000.
Flames were first discovered in the north
building by a pedestrian, who was COM
PEELED TO run about ten blocks to the near
est phone before an alarm could be given.
Engine company No. 10 made a quick run,
considering the distance which it had to
cover and the elements and difficulties
which It had to battle against The snow
was drifted so deeply in places that the
horses were barely able to pull the appa-
ratus. After arrival 1T was found that no
water could be thrown. as the nearest hy-
drant was nearly three-quarters OF a mile
distant The men fought against the odds
which beset them and succeeded in rescu-
ing most of the fixtures and books from
the building before it vas consumed.
BY using snow the fremen prevented the
destruction of the south building.
The buildings destroyed were both one
story frames. The schoolhouse was a four
room affair. The last person to leave the
buildings is said to have been Janitor Arm
strong who cannot offer the elightest idea
how the fire originated.
1t is estimated that nearly $50 pupils who
attended at this building will be without the
proper accommodation until arrangements
can be made for their attendance at other
schools in that vicinity.
Fire started in the shipping room OF ]. p.
Cooks rubber stamp factory. 11l2 Farnam
street, and burned contents and wooden
partitions, causing a loss to building and
contents Of about 5000. There was insur.

Dear Editor:
Too much rain for cotton, they
all say. The price is the best for
many years, and couse quenly the
farmers are disappointed when il
rains so much.
Prosperity smiles on the farmer
az never before. Corn crops are
good and cotton fairly good.
Nothing pleases us more than
that item from Horse Branch, say

add to hls "laurels" by running

he has laurels. to which he may
add more. Say, come on with some
more Of those beautiful words.
Your kindness will never be tor
gotten. We are pleased 70 know
that our young men have such high
aspirations. Always aim high and
you will never have time or an oc-
caslon to try and belittle Others.

STOCKS STILL DULL
PRICE MOVEMENTS ARE MARROW
AND WITHOUT MEANING
Special Feature Is Totally Lacking and
Operations Are Almost Exclusively
ProfessionaI-News of the Day Is Not
of Encouraging Character.

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-The stock mar
ket today was even duller and less inter
esting than at any time for the past fort
night. Price movements were narrow and
whole was void of special feature and
operations were almost wholly profession
al. There was no pressure to sell, neither
was there even Semblance of investment
buying. Traders were lon the fence"
committed to neither side, but rather
hopeful Of rally. Aside from, the in
Europe brought about a further decline in
British consols the decision of Umpire
Wright favoring the hard coal operators,
ana reports OF a probable strike among
the Colorado coal miners Were quite suf-
hctent to check any trading that might
otherwise have developed.
The banks continue to lose currency
heavily to the interior. Several large
shipments We're made West and South
today, indications pointing to a heavy
weeks movement, considerably in excess
perhaps of that reported week ago. The
banks explain this movement as perfectly
natural and likely to continue in large
volume from now on. These shipments
Were partially offset, however, by the
lease at this center of 1862, 900 on ac-
count of Australian gold deposited at
San Francisco. This money was paid out
at the subtreasury and was Immediately
added to local bank reserves. The rates
for foreign exchange were practically un-
changed from those Of yesterday. The
demand for remittance bills was small
and offerings were moderate.

The days business was limited to the
better known railway shares and the
fractions, the latter showing marked
strength. The active issues were the Pa
cities, Atchison. st. Paul. New York Cen
trail, Reading. Pennsylvania, Rock Island,
Southern Railway, Erie and Amalgamat-

to the decision already referred. No def

sold and prices were bid up with some de-
gree of success. This move seemed to be
purely technical. however, although there
was an impression in some quarters that
offerings were being quietly absorbed. The
closing was steady. The crop situation
developed no new features. Railroad re-

MINNEAPOLIS.

Minneapolis-The government report is
now the, most important consideration in
the mind of the speculative wheat trader.
What it will show is not so important in
itself as the fact that once it is out of the
way the market will probably HVen up
more, and break out of the present rut.
December wheat although strong. was in
very narrow range, and to IL O'Clock held
between 80asc and soc, May meanwhile
selling from S2$sc to $3.50. 1t is the usual
dull market to be expected before a gov
eminent report. The bears meanwhile
have a number of things in their favor
and were taking advantage Of them to
the utmost, yet without affecting the
market much A higher barometer in the
Northwest was encouragement for clear
ing weather, and the posted forecast was
more favorable. Frosts are likely in Kan
sas, Nebraska and South Dakota, but
otherwise the prospect is not bad and
shows a great improvement over condi-
tions of the past few days. The greatest
bear argument was an important increase
In receipts at primary points. Receipts,
4S5 cars.
The new spring wheat. instead Of GO
ing to elevators who might hedge it by
selling futures, goes to millers who need
it, and that there is demand for it all is
evidenced by the fact that buyers here
take the good wheat to arrive in round
lots at firm, prices. The continued buy
ing every day of top grades to arrive
means that later on much of the wheat
received will go for delivery on previous
sale and will not crowd the cash market
of the day. Sentiment here is firm MANY
in the pit are short on the expectation Of
a break as soon as the weather clears and
a heavier movement begins but the aver
age trader is bull for long pull
The market turned frmer toward the
close and shorts covered sufficiently to
put the market back from the little early
sag. closing finally with a gain Of &c for
the day. September closed at S3Ac; De-
cember, S05sc, and May, S3hc. Low
grades suffered a little and there is tend
ency in the cash market to widen out
prices between the poor wheat and the
cellent demand and sold we'll both for
spot and to arrive. September price was
the ruling figure for No. 2. and 15c over
for No. l. Near the close the demand was
not quite so brisk Following was the
