The Book of the
Royal Blue" for 1905


The January number Book of
the Royal Blue" starts the New
Year with a most interesting col
lection of sketches and poems by
several of the best known writers
in the United States.
The illustrated poem, "Goin'
Home" by Mr.. Gillian of Balti-
more, gives a delightful impress
sion to the reader, which is kept
up to the end.
Mr.. Taber of New York, con-
tributes more "Ballads to Bad
Babies" and a most delightful
"Song of the Cat Bird" which is
published by his special permits
sion, and which is to form part of
an operetta under preparation.
Edmund Vance Cooke of Cleve-
land, the popular humorist-lec-
turer, contributes a breezy little
sketch entitled "Adam."
Mr.. DAILY of Philadelphia, fur
nishes a story entitled draft
ed"
Mr.. Robbins of Newark, N. j.,
has GA Page of Robbins. -
Mr.. Lewis of Norfolk, continues
"Stub Ends of Thought, " which
now are universally known and
copied.
The interesting description of
the Relief department of the Bal
timore g. Ohio railroad in this
number should be read by every

only from others in that its ad-

cases is better than the average.

On the Ohio side the Gordon
sand well on the Longfellow farm
in the Macksburg field, in Wash
ington county, is about the only
topic discussed. Thursday even
ing the well was drilled about 5
feet deeper into the sand and
during the night it flowed about
80 barrels. Yesterday morning the
well was flowing at intervals of
about thirty minutes. 1t has
been drilled about IA feet into the
sand, and it is understood that the
owners will put it to pumping.
The formation in which they stop
ped drilling was a dark sand with
traces of slate. There has been
a very great deamnd for terri
tory in that locality and it is
understood that some pretty stiff
bonus has been paid for some of
the stuff.
In the Rays Run district, in the
same county, the Associated Pro-
ducers' company has completed
it's No. 5 on the M. Pool farm and
has show for 15-barrel pumper
into the Big Injun sand.
In the same district the Ohio
River Oil company has started to
drill at a test on the Cochran heirs
farm.
In the same district, Altenberg
& company have made the loca-
ton for a test on the Ellison farm.

YESTERDAYS STOCK MARKET
Yesterday of Speculative
 Exeitement-widespread Interest.

Exeitement-widespr Interest.
 New York, Feb. 2T.-The total of over 100000 shares reached by the business done at the stock exchange to-day wit messed the continuation of the specu- IatiVe excitement and the widespread interest in the market. But the day was distinctly devoted to process of digestion and there were no such Yio- lent advances as were made last week. Very substantial progress was made, however, in realizing the profits caused by last weeks advances. During the prevalence of an active speculation and long continued rise in prices, Mondays are always chosen to effect a distribution of holdings and to convert paper profits into cash. Such move ment was clearly in progress to-day, and while a check resulted to the rise in prices the absorption power of the market was what was chiefly remark ed. The resistance offered to the sell ing was not helped by any notable new development with the exception Of a striking movement in Southern Pacific. The advance in this stock was explain ed in some quarters as an adjustment to the recent advance in Union Pacific, in which the subsidiary stock has not shared. But an additional motive for the buying was offered in the circula- tion Of the rumor that a dividend pay ment on the stock had been practically determined upon. This rufnor lacked official confirmation. The rate of ab- sorption in Southern Pacific in the first stage of to-day's movement was unprecedented on the stock exchange, not less than 100000 shares changing hands in a period of ten minutes dur ing the period of greatest activity. The effect of the fire loss at New Orleans was restricted to Illinois Central, the principal sufferer. Railroad traffic of- ficials reported progress making in the opening up of their lines all over the country after the storm blockades and the milder weather has also resulted in largely increased offerings of grain from the primary points.
