THE COMMERCIAL WORLD
It Is Found That There Must Be a Re-
 adjustment of Prices.

New York, July 1.-The stock mar
 ket was again subjected 10 a severe selling pressure today under the inn pulse of the same motives that have prompted the selling for two days pre- vious. The pressure upon New York Central was the most conspicuous fea- ture of the market and carried the price down to 1142, an extreme decline from yesterday of 412 and from last week of 11A. The attack upon the market was obviously in professional hands. but it was equally evident that the bear tac- tics kYere based upon knowledge or con- viction of the existence of large orders to liquidate in the market. Behind the unshaken conviction of the necessity of an early increase in New York Central issues, there was no immediate news to account for the general decline, and it seemed to be based as much as any thing on the general belief that a re- adjustment of the price level of securi- ties must be made to conform to new conditions in the money market and in dustrial affairs before any real demand for securities can be attacked. The market closed active and near the low est, the few late rallies not being well held.

RUSSIA IN MOTION
For the Punishment of Participants
 in the kishineff Massacre.


 Washington, July 11.-Information of an entirely reliable character concern ing the Kisheneff massacre has reached here. From advices received today it appears that the protests which are made in the United States and many other civilized countries against the murderous attacks upon the Jews in Kisheneff last spring have not been without practical effect. This informa- ton states that the Russian govern ment has been moved to vigorous ac- tion in the matter of Investigating and punishing those who were responsible for the Kisheneff massacre. Eight hun dred arrests have been made and as a result of the preliminary examination $50 persons have been reInanded for trial in the lower court.
 Four hundred and fifty cases have been sent to the court of appeals, of which fifty-three are indictments for manslaughter, a change of venue hav- ing been ordered. The trials of those accused of murdering and horribly maltreating the Jews at Kisheneff will occur in September at Tiraspol, where the services of four distinguished law yers have been secured to assist the prosecution in the murder cases, and three we'll know lawyers will aid in the prosecution of the synagogue property cases.

ALYORD INDICTED
Held by United States Grand
 Jury on Six Charges
He Had Reason to Believe That He Had Squared Himself With All The Authorities.

Tombstone, July 11.-(Special) )-Burt Alvord, the train robber, was indicted here today by the United States grand jury on six charges of robbing and in terfering with the United States mails. The action of the grand jury was some what of a surprise, for the reason that it had been understood that the offense of Alvord had been condoned so far as it could be done by law.
 Alvord's first offense was committed while he was a peace officer of the ter ritory. constable of Wilcox precinct in this county and also a deputy sher- If. A Southern Pacific train vas held up not far from Wilcox and the express and mail trains robbed Alvord be- came active in the pursuit of the ban dits. Not long after the robbery AL word came under suspicion. but the de- tectives of the Southern Pacific kept the suspicion to themselves. About three years ago an attempt was made to hold up a train near Fairbanks, and in the fight which attended the attempt one of the robbers was wounded by Messenger J. D. Milton. Four others escaped. The wounded robber was found a few days afterward and short
 
 his associates were Alvord, Billy Stiles. Bravo Juan and another man who was afterward located in Idaho and brought back. Stiles and Bravo Juan were talk en into custody the former surrender ing. When the Idaho man was brought back and on the day of his arrival at Tombstone, jail delivery was arrang- ed by Stiles, and he and Bravo Juan escaped. The latter has never been captured, but Stiles subsequently, sur rendered himself again. In the mean time only the Idaho man had been sent to the penitentiary.
 Alvord fingered about the country sending impudent word to the authori- ties. Being hotly pursued after this he took refuge in Mexico, and remain ed there until after the capture Of the Graham county murderer. Augustin Chacon. Alvord had contributed to his capture. and it was understood that the territory's account with him had been settled. He was led to believe that the United States would net prosecute him. There have been several sessions of the federal grand jury since Alvord imag- ined himself to be a free and untram- meled citizen.

ONLY COOLER HEADS
Kept the Enraged Mob From
 Being too MerCifuI.
The Terrible and Deserved Punish meut Measured Out to a West vir- sinia Fiend.

Wheeling, w. Va, July 11.-A special to the Register from Bluefields says The little town of Devon, Mingo county, was the scene yesterday of the assault ing of a little fourteen-year-o old giel by negro, followed by his subsequent lynching by an enraged mob numbering over 200 men.
 The little girl was caught a short distance from her home by the negro and carried to a neighboring wood, where she was found tied to a tree. bound and gagged. Her absence was noticed by the neighbors, who immedi ately formed themselves into a search ing party. She was found in almost a dying condition, but was able to tell to the horror stricken searchers the story.
 Wild were the cries for vengeance when the little girls story was heard, but after a consultation it was decided to lay in wait for the fiend. In a short time he appeared and was just renew ing his assault upon the helpless child when the entire mob of concealed searchers emerged and made for him.
 He would have been torn limb from limb on the spot, but the horrible crime of the negro demanded a more cruel death and cool heads kept the enraged mob back, and the negro was dragged to the village common and bound to a tree. Again the mob gave vent to their wild desire for revenge. and it was by the greatest efforts of the leaders that they were kept back.
 The clothing of the negro was torn from his body and pins, tacks, pen knives and every conceivable weapon of torture was stuck into the skin of the negro as he struggled, vainly pleading for his life.
 He was allowed to suffer a hundred deaths with his body bleeding in a thousand places. The almost lifeless form of his little victim was then placed before the glaring eyes of the brute. while willing hands cut the tongue from his swollen mouth His cries became incoherent, and before the enraged citizens could be checked the skin was literally cut from his body and distributed among the villagers He died with his eyes on the little girl whose life he had ruined. His heart was then cut out with jack knives, his toes and fingers chopped off and carried away as mementoes. His bloody and mangled form was then soaked with Kerosene and fired.

THEY STILL HESITATE
Refusing to Act as an Organization Leaving the Matter to Individual Decision.

After an all-day session of the stock holders of the Tempe canal yesterday. called first to consider pumping plant propositions and later taking up the question of whether or not water users under the canal should sign the articles of incorporation of the Water Users association, the meeting adjourned without action, leaving the situation as 1t was before, every man at liberty 10 do as he pleased. The meeting. how ever. was productive of good results in that it brought new light to many wa ter users and gave them the fullest possible information on the situation. so they could act advisedly and on their own responsibility. The stock holders were still too greatly divided to reach a concert Of action. but many who have hitherto strongly opposed the association expressed themselves as ready to sign and undoubtedly will do
 SO on Monday.
 MT. Davis answered various questions
 they have been in doubt about. his
 most telling statement being that with the present water supply he felt per fectly safe in guaranteeing that not 10 exceed 1s0.000 acres of land would be | accepted for irrigation by the govern

 This means that there will necessarily
 be some trimming of acreage. but while he could not say where it would bs. it | was reasonable to expect that the solid | bodies and older lands would be given | preference over the lands on the out skirts of the irrigation district.
 MT. Heard also was instrumental in
 having corrected the figures respecting the Tonto reservoir and later annOunc-
 ed that with two of the points he has contended for dissipated by MT. Davis
 remarks, he felt it the wise thing for
 Tempe water users to join the asSocia- | ton, trusting in the fairness of their l fellow men and the government. to
 eventually grant them the other two

THE MYSTERIOUS MITRE.
Sent From Naples for the Saving of the
 Pope.

Rome. July 11.-In view of the seri- ous condition of the pope, the Neapoli- tans have had recourse to their most sacred and seldom used method of ren- dering him assistance. St. Gennaro is their greatest saint and his mitre IS preserved at Naples. It is said to work miracles. The aristocracy and clergy of Naples begged the archbishop, to send the mitre to Rome and he allowed it to leave the city for the first time in many years.
 The precious relic was entrusted to Monsignor Prince Caracioto, who ar rived with it safely in Rome today Al the vatican the mitre was received by Cardinal Rampolla and Mgr. Bis leti, who, with great ceremony, thanked the Neapolitans for their piety and self-sacrifice in allowing the mitre tt come here. After the cardinal had in vited Mgr. Caracioto to remain fol some days in this city. the sacred relic was deposited in the sick room.

POSITIVE POLICY
Adopted by the Japanese
 Against Russia
Alarmed by the Secret Russo-Chinese Treaty the Island Empire Sees Nothing But War Before It.

Tokio, July 1.-The political atmos- phere of Japan has been thick with ru- mors of impending war. The immedi- ate cause of the angry sentiment is a succession of reports of Chinese diplo- matic intrigue with Russia at Pekin and of Russian ercroachment upon Korea. Several secret cabinet meetings have been held. On-the 18th there was an. extraordinary cabinet meeting, at which Admiral Yamamoto, minister of the navy. who has been testing the war efficiency of all the Japanese naval ports, was present and it was rumored that the cabinet was unanimous for a positive policy" having for it's object the checking of Russia by an appeal to arms if necessary.
 On June 23 a conference of the elder statesmen" an ex-officio political pow CT, in Japan, was called before the throne. Marquis Ito, Field Marshal Marquis Oyama, Count Matsukata and Count Inonye were present, ard the premier ministers of war and the navy and foreign affairs joined. The grave political situation was discussed al length. While it was not learned what occurred. Japanese papers point to the conference as showing the increasing gravity of the situation.
 The compelling cause of these secret conferences was the announcement from Pekin that a secret convention
 had been concluded between the Rus
 sian minister and Prince Ching anC signed on the 20th. It was said that when the Japanese minister inte=rogat-
 ed Prince Ching on June 22, that tn, prince fiatly denied the existence of any
 secret agreement with the Russians Later it was announced that the agree i ment, containing fcur parts, had beer
 forwarded to St. Petersburg for i'm

 Mir Wo0lf spoke briefly on the Ob- iects of the meeting. which had been called originally to consider the detail ed report of the engineers employed to estimate cost and benefits to be de- rived from one form or another Of a proposed pumping plant for the pur- pose of augmenting the water supply of the Tempe Canal company as an al- formative project to that proposed in the construction of the Tonto reSer- voir Subsequently MT. Arthur P. Da- wis had been invited to be present and it was expected he would address the meeting some time during the day. MT. Woolf said he believed that the Tempe people are more conversant with the real conditions confronting them selves and the entire valley than are the people of any other part of the valley, and that he felt sure many had subscribed to the articles of incorpora- tion of the Water Users asSociati tion without really knowing what they had signed their names to. Tempe. hoWev- CT, had always viewed the matter from cold blooded business standpoint. just as he believed it would the discussions of the present meeting. which he hoped would be with entire good feeling and harmoniously conducted. as its purpose was solely for getting at the facts in the case
 MT Woolf then introduced P. F. Fuller. who presented in a lengthy re- port estimates and detailed intorma- | ton respecting the cost of three differ | ent pumping plants, their operation. the amount of water they would supply and the benefits to be derived from them, in comparison with cost. opsrat-

CURIOSITY The Motive That Leads to Knowledge.

They say curiosity once killed cat, but if it were not for curiosity little progress would be made. A Texan tells the following good story about his curi- osity and what he learned about food: "One day down at the store I noticed yellow package with a curious name, Grape-Nuts. The name fascinated me and aroused my curiosity. I didn't like to display my ignorance by asking. so bought package and took it home, where I read all about it. When wife and tried it we thought it delightful and commenced using it morning and evening with cream.
 Before this l had suffered from lack of assimilation of food and my stomach was so weak that what ate for break fast seemed to lie there a long time be- fore being digested. I was usually in distress and had no appetite for dinner. All this has changed since my diet has been largely on Grape Nuts. I have gained steadily in strength, health and weight, sleep soundly at night and get up refreshed in the morning. Wife says look like a new man and she herself has been greatly benefited by the food. After my breakfast of Grape-Nuts don't need anything in the middle of the day as a rule. but I always keep a little of the food handy, and if I have any sense of exhaustion I just take a few mouthfuls of it, It gives me imme- diate relief and does not destroy my appetite for dinner. but seems to sharp en it. It surprises me that we never seem to tire of Grape-Nuts although we have now been using it for several years" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.
