Stocks and Bonds.

New York. Dee. 12.-This Wass an
other day Of very active ana varied
speculation in the stock market Sell
ing To realize profits was very clearly
i'm evidence at many points through
out the day but this process was ac-
complished with good success ana was
i'm fact one of the most encouraging
incidents Of the market. The only de-
cided breaks were al the very last.
Nearly all the stocks which made
conspicuous gains yesterday were un-
der this realizing process TODAY some
OF them opened higher and maintaiend
some part of their gains without eX-
tending them, Reading being notable
example. IN others the opening gains
were yielded almost Immediately but
prices were not allowed to recedc to
any extent below last night. AS sus-
tanning forces in the market there was
q return to the method of furious ac-
tiVity and spectacular advances IN
special stocks, and those selected to-
day were found again amongst the in
dustrials in the majority of the cases.
Stocks having to do with the various
metal industrials. especially copper and
IRON. were conspicuous. substantial
basis for the strength in this crop
was the trade conditions in those in
dustries. II was asserted that the value
of November exports of the products
of the United States Steel corporation
was the largest on record, notWith-
standing the enormous domestic de-
mand and the high prices prevailing.
Some of the southern railroads haV-
ing large iron traffic We're affected
by this movement. The corn carry
ing railroads showed a degree of
strength. Rates for money on call
were decidedly easier, the rate for re-
newals ruling generally at ten per cent
or under. Nothing occurred in the
routine of the money market to indi-
cate a change in the course of affairs.
Foreign exchange was firm with the
relaxation in the money rate. Stocks
made good rally from the. profittak
ing early in the last hour but broke
rather feverishly in the final dealings
with the violent upward rush of the
smelling stocks and lead. The close
was decidedly unsettled and irregular
Bonds were firm. Total sales (pal
value) $3,000000.

In the report of the contemplated

"Jernigan was said to have been g

officer shooting upwards in an endeaV-
or to make them halt Jernigan was
at his house and got his gun, double
barrel shot gun. and went down to
the stin. He was trying to kill Stan
Gill, but the latter saw him, lodged
i'm the bushes and told Downing. As
Downing came up into an open space
near the still he saw Jernigan in tho
act Of raising his gun TO shoot him
and firing first with his revolver kill
ed Jernigan. Only the one shot was
fired. A few years ago a mob of moon

John T. Wood for Register of D seds.

We feel il our duty to call at
tention to the republican candi-
date for register of deeds, John
II. Wood. Mr.. Wood is a young
man of sterling qualities who has
until the past three years resided
in this locality and we might say
is Mason City man. During
his residence here he conducted
himself in an honest manner and
is young man OF ability, homes
ty and integrity. He has had
three years experience as deputy
register and is competent to fiji
the Office to which he aSpires.
We are sure our voters will make
no mistake in voting for Mr..
Wood for register of deeds. Let
us get out and hustle for John II.
Wood not only because he is a
Mason City man but because he
is able and competent and will
treat all the patrons of that Office
in kind, courteous and business
like manner. Vote for John II.
Wood regardless of party-he is
the right man for the right place
Mason City Star.
AS the Star is a nonpartisan
paper this should be regarded by
all fair minded men as a strong
endorsement for the republican
candidate for register of deeds.
MIR. Wood for a number of years
was a resident of Mason City and
vicinity and as the editor of the
Star grew up there he knows the
sentiment of the community
which he represents.
Mr.. Wood, Notwithstanding he
is the republican candidate and
as such has much at stake in his
own success, he mas not been
out of his Office day since his
nomination to solicit support,
but instead, remains at his post
of duty as register of deeds.
Such men, who have been tried
in the balance and have proven
true to their constituents are
those who the public should de-
light to honor and in his case we
feel confident they will do it.

correctly.
! During his twelve years resi-
dence in Galloway, Mr.. Smith
has proven himself to be a leader
among HIS fellow men. He now
holds the office of constable for
Delight township, having been
elected to that position number
of times, and always polling more
than his party vote. The good
work done by him in this Off ce
brought out his excellent qualiii.
cations as an officer of the law,
and his friends saw in him the
making of a good sheriff, and by
hard work persuaded him to
make the race. He is also a
member of the village board,
which position he has held for
several terms, and has proven
himself TO be a worthy and wide
awake member Of that august
body. He is the owner Of an
excellent farm at the edge Of this
city, where he resides, and where
he makes his living from the
products of the soil the same as
any other farmer.
Taking it as a whole, he is one
of the beSt-if not the best-wh
has ever been rendered nomina-
ton to any Office in Custer coun-
ty. Honesty, energy and deter
mination is stamped upon his
face, and should he be elected,
Custer county will be able to
claim the best sheriff in the state
of Nebraska. The Queen Sug-

for John S. Smith for sheriff and
forever feel proud Of the noble
act you have done --I.oup Valley

The effort to divide the county
is called off. We have tried to
treat the matter fairly, and have
recognized that everyone had a
right to think as he pleased in
the matter. If the majority of
ethe people of the county want
the county divided, they should
have the opportunity to divide.
If the majority want the county
as it is, then they should have it
so. We believe in the test of
majorities, but we want to say
right now that we dctest mere
agitation for selfish and personal
ends, and above all, the public

any man who thinks he is bigger
than everybody, and assumes to
direct public interests without
being solicited.-Sargent Leader.
