 market, which opened very heavy and unsettled. broke violently in the last hour of today's brief session, one of the disturbing factors being the unfavorable bank statements. Forecasts had prepared all hands for a loss of cash, but the increase of almost S400O,- 900 in loans excited general alarm and prices tumbled throughout the list.
 Union Pacific was subjected to a spec ial drive. resulting in an extreme loss of almost five points on very large trans actions. Brooklyn Rapid Transit suffer ed in similar fashion, breaking five points and number of stop loss orders in both stocks came out. In fact. the course of both stocks suggested forced selling.
 Rumor credited a famous operator, whose fortune have recently been some what impaired, with being the chief en- gineer in the attack on Union Pacific. This operator had grievance against the Union Pacific party.
 Net declines greater than those pre- viously mentioned were recorded. Here are a few:
 American snuf, points; Northwest preferred '; Consolidated Gas 5h; Della ware and Hudson 4; and Great Northern preferred 5; net losses of two to three and a half points were registered in

COLLEGE WATERS.
ON A TRANSPORT.
sixteen California students Have
Returned From Trip to Manila.

sixteen California students Have
Returned From Trip to Manila.
The transport Logan is in from Ma
Mia, says dispatch from San Fran
cisco to the New York Herald, and
brings back the sixteen college stu
dents from Stanford and the UNIVERSE
ty of California who went away on
months ago. The students arranged
with the army authorities to take the
trip for a summer outing and to have
the experience of an ocean voyage to
Uncle Sans new possessions in the
Far East
All of the sixteen young men come
back highly pleased with their unique
vacation. And, while they do not say
so, they also return with praise from
the officers of the Logan and the
many passengers who returned on the
vessel.
None of the young men had sea legs
when they left on the Logan. Now
they can boast of that qualification.
and are proud of the fact Not having
such thing-so necessary for a waiter
on an ocean steamer-when they sail
ed from here, they had ludicrous ex-
periences for the first few days out
from San Francisco toward Honolulu.
Now, I'm not going to mention
Names remarked Capt. Stinson, of
the Logan, as she lay off Meigg's
wharf. In serving dinner the first
evening out from this port a Berkeley

But l. do not want to make any
invidious distinctions the Captain
went on to say zone of the STAN
ford boys was serving an order of ffsh
for Mrs. -. He got from the kitchen
into the dining room with the plate.
He was embarrassed and cresttallen
to find the plate empty as he was in
the act of placing it before the lady
In coming from the kitchen the roll
of the ship had knocked him about in
the narrow passageWdy. Inc piece OF
fish by some means had slipped from
the plate into one of the pockets of
his waiter coat
The boys themselves have lots of
things to tell about their trip. They
tried to do their duty. Each one stood
his watch regularly, and. at times they
found the work pretty hard. This was
especially the case when they got into
warm ATTITUDES. OF their treatment by
the officers of the ship and by the
passengers, both going and returning,
they speak very kindly.
Lee Lucas of Stanford. whose home
us in Santa Barbara county, voiced
the sentiment of all the boys in saying
that they were "a raw lot of walters
the first two or three days out from
the city,
Save for querulous passenger here
and there, all of us had the best of
treatment, both coming and going"
continued Lucas. I'VE had made up
our minds not to obtrude ourselves on
anybody during idle hours and faith
fully lived up to that proposition. Be-
tween meals we had many invitations
to associate with the passengers and
here and there did so. All of US had
such invitations and spent many pleas
ant hours that way"
Lieut.. w. H. Reaves, United States
artillery, and Judge advocate in the
Philippines, is one of the passengers
returning on the Logan. He voices the
opinion of the passengers about the
student walters by saying:
Il did not go from here with the col
legians. Coming back they certainly
were the best of walters. All of us
passengers found them bright, refined
fellows and in their idle hours our
latch keys were al their service, so to
speak"
In Manila the boys had a most in
teresting time and were shown many
courtesies by Gov, Gen. Taft and other
officials of Uncle Sans government.
They had no opportunity to get any
distance out from Manila. Next to Ma
nilla a couple of days stay in Ma
gasaki is one of their pleasantest MEM
cries.

is throughout life to shirk the duties
which lite ought to bring. Life can
mean nothing worth meaning, unless its
prime aim is the doing of duty, the
achievement of results worth achtev-
ing A recent writer has finely said;
After all. the saddest thing that can
happen TO a man is to carry no bur
dens. To be bent under too great a
load is bad: to be crushed by it is la
mentable but even in that there are
possibilities that are glorious. But to
carry no load at all-there is nothing
in that. No one seems to arrive at any
goal really worth reaching in this
world who does not come to it heavy
laden.

BURGLARS AT FORT VALLEY.
Got Tools From n Hardware store
to Enter a Grocery.

Fort Valley, Ga, Sept. Last night
the stores of Hobbs & Co. and the
Gray Everett Hardware Company were
broken into by burglars, and as a re-
suit Hobbs & Co stock has been very
perceptibly diminished. Tobacco. cigars,
flour and other grocery articles are
missing.
1t is thought the burglars sole OBJ
ject in breaking into the hardware store
was to secure tools. as the proprie-
tors have been unable to find anything
else missing. They made an effort to
break into the money drawer, but it
is thought the ringing of the bell caus-
ed them to desist. After securing tools
they encountered little difficulty in
entering Hobbs & Co.'S store
The burglars are now prepared to
commit further depredations, and the
city officials will be on a sharp look
out for them in the future.
