The present little cold furry has
brought the old timer out of his

visited by heavy snow storm.

section "A severe freeze and snow
storm which killed all the grain. -
Capt, Getzendaner says this snow
put enough moisture iu the ground
TO bring cut some of the wheat and
that few farms made ten bushels

According TO the record kept by
Capt. Getzendaner this would have
made the date Of the snow forty
seven years ago today, instead of

During Q Session OF lSevea Weeks 100
Bills are ReturRee.

After a session lasting through a
period of seven weeks the grand jury
adjourned yesterday afternoon to
take recess for one week, when it
will reconvene for q session of two
weeks to finish up its work for this
term of court. During the time the
big twelve have been deliberating 100
bills OF indictment have been re-
turned in to the court. AT this rate
the number returned by the last
grand jury will be exceeded. The
deliberations of the jury this week
resulted in - bills being found. OF
this number one was for rape. one
for burglary, two for violating the
local option law and the others for
various misaemeanor offenses.
The two parties indicted for vio-
lating the local option law have been
arrested. They were George Wood
ruff of Ferris and young man
named Beauehamp at Ennis. Both
parties made bond and were released
from custody.
The most important matter COM
ing before the grand ie.y this week
was an investigation into the killing
OF Elmo Smith of Forreston at Red
Oak last Sunday night. The reia-
tives and friends of the unfortunate
young man are not satisfied with the
manner in which be died and they
propose TO make searching inves-
tigatian of the matter 10 determine
whether or not there was foul play.
The grand Jury took the matter up
Thursday morning and had several
witnesses here from Forreston and
Red oak. If anything of any i'm
portancs developed in the investiga-
tion it has not yet been made public.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, March 21.-The movements
of today's stock market was in large part
working out of conditions established
last week rather than response to any
new events bearing on values. The action
of the market today was looked upon as
a sort of test of the character OF last
week strength. The buoyant stock mar
ket seemed scarcely to have relieved the
doubts OF many skeptical observers, and
there was sufficient demand to cause a
higher opening this morning and to sus-
tain prices firmly, though without further
advance, during the active market of the
Ilrst -Four. Thereafter the market Ian
guished and attempts to renew the adj
vance met with Indifferent success. There
had been large realizing besides CON
siderable interest established on the short
side. The preponderance of the profess
slonal desire was, therefore. for a reac-
ton, and there was not sufficient buying
lpower for the coming to prevent it. The

bringing about the reaction. and was not
accounted for by any news of a change IN
last weeks better outlook on the trade.
Rumors of a cut in price of steel billets
were denied. Further rains in the win
ter wheat belt helped to sustain the gram
gers in the early market, but did not save
them from the late reaction. There was
sufficient demand for Northern Securities
on the curb to lift it nearly 8 points over
Saturday which is taken to indicate a
feeling of assurance against losses by
stockholders in the DISSECTION of the com.
pany. The recovery in the cotton mar.
ket was Il safeguard against further dam
age by speculative losses there. These
would have been regarded as items of
good news on Saturday, but they were
taken advantage of to sell today. The
announcement of ten million dollar
stock issue by the Cleveland and Pitts
burg on Pennsylvania guarantee of
dividends was q notice that the capital
expansion of the Pennsylvania system is
still in progress and was of rather chill
