RARKET ACTIVE,

Railroads Showed Up Well
In First Hour.
SENSATION IN ANACONDA
Bank Statement Neutral in Character

Effect
SENSATION IN ANACONDA

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-The pre-
Christmas speculation was keen. and
the market unusually active. There
was no London to guide prices, but
feeling was fairly confident, and it is
barely possible that some little senti-
mental incentive existed in favor Of
a strikingly bull finish.
The bank statement was neutral. It
was expected that the statement ~ould
not be unfavorable. The actual items
showed minimum changes throughout.
It's publication was not followed by
noticeable changes In prices in either
direction.
Railroads Strong.
Strength in the railroad list was a
feature from the start. Union Pacific,
on heavy transactions. barely escaped
reaching $50. st. Paul, Southern Pa
cifc. Pennsylvania Railroad. and
many others were decidedly strong.
United States Steel. which speculative
ly behaves more like railroad rnan
an industrial stock, was in renewed
favor. The common rose to 39ss, the
best of the year, on the execution of
single buying order for 10000 shares.
The preferred edualed its high record.
4IdCIl0uS weak.
The traction stocks were prominent,
but not strong. They were rather
erratic. Metropolitan Securities was
heavy throughout, declining about 3
points. Metropolitan Street Railway
varied moderately both ways, closing
with tirv gain of slight fraction.
Third Avenue rose s15 per cent, then
reacted per cent Brooklyn Rapid
Transit, not sharing in the deal, finally
lost over ] per cent. Tennessee Coal
and Iron lost a point, and Hide and
Leather preferred as much.
Big Changes in Anaconda.
The sensational feature Of the day
was Anaconda, which opened a point
or more higher, and during the last
half hour made a remarkable record
of 23A per cent higher. Toward the
close it sold as much points apart
from minute to minute, reacting
points in as many minutes Smelling
and Refining gained a little over
per cent
The closing tone was wholly irregu-
lar The standard list was generally
rather heavy Copper was active at
the highest The bond market was
insignificant. The standard rope and
twine issues rallied sharply. Govern
ments were unchanged

Fort Dodge, March 15.-The school
election at Kalo, at which S6,o0o APP
preparation was voted for the erection
of q, union school. which will take the
place Of three schools that are now
being operated in Kalo, Claigs Hollow
and Ohio schools, was one ofsthe most
exciting and hard fought that ever
occurred in the county All day the
interested parties on both sides of the
question worked like demons to swing
the balance. When the smoke Of bat
tie had rolled back, however, it expos
ed the people of the south end of
the township in full retreat and the
north end Haunting the banner of vic
tory. The vote stood 113 for and 80
against.
The people of the south end of
the township who are out OF walking
distance to the school, will not get
the benefit from the union school that
those in the north end of the town
ship will be able to obtain, and this
was the cause of the fight. While those
in the outer district Will be compelled
to help pay the bill, they will not
profit by it, except that they may send
their high school pupils to the build
ing after they have become too far
advanced for the ordinary country
school. However, later it may be that
some of the other schools will be
closed and the pupils transported to
the union building, where they will
get all the advantages o. the graded
city school.
1t is planned to build a four room
modern brick building and as the
brick are to be had right there in Ka-
10, it is expected that they can be OBJ
tanned enough cheaper so that the
building can be made bigger and bet
ter for the same money than would he
the case IL they were forced to ship
them from distance.

Supreme Court Knocks Out Ono of
the Favorite Arguments of the Pro-

Without Lesalizine Business.

Without LegalIzlng BUSINESS.
Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, March 15.-The supreme
court decided yesterday that saloons
are not legalized in Iowa. THE legal
lied saloon" Is one Of the choice ex-
nressions of those forces which stand
for prohibition and has been the basis
for much of the criticism of the mulct
law of this state.
ut is entirely clear" said the SUI
preme court, that the legislature may
impose a tax without legalizing the
business taxed" The language was
used in the case of Newton against
Polk county in which the plaintiff tried
to prevent the collection of mulct tax
assessed against her property on &C
count of the nulct saloon conducted
therein, whose owner did not pay the
take
The contention of the plaintiff was
that the nulct tax was not tax out q
license and must be collected by ordin-
AIRY judicial procedure instead OF exc
cution The court decided that 1t is In
fact tax and not a license and shall
be collected as any other tax.
The court finds that not only Is the
payment of this tax no bar against
prosecution, but 1t is a tax not applied
to all persons who sell liquor--permtt
holders, for instance, being exempt.
The court reiterates the decision that
a property owner Is not entitled to mo-
tice before his property is impressed
for lien of taxes. That the owner
was in ignorance of the fact that the
liquor sales were effected in the prem
Uses affected, is not a defense against
the collection OF the tax in the judg-
lnent of the court.
