YESTERDAYS STOCK MARKET.
Creeping Upward Movement of Prices
 Flares Into Flame.

Flares Into Flame.
 New York, July 28.-The creeping up- ward movement of prices which has been in progress for several days fiared up into flash of speculative spirit to- day and the stock market was broader and more animated than for consid- erable time past. The sales effected in the two hours to noon eQualled the maximum for. whole day recently. Thereafter there was decided falling off in activity and some hesitation. The upward movement was not expected by any immediate event and seemed to re- suit rather from a specialization of confidence which has been gathering from day to day. The movement con tinued largely professional and there was evidence of manipulation here and there in the volatile rise of closely held stocks, of which little increase of the supply in the market results from a bidding up of he price.
 The very large occasional transac- tions in some of the market leaders, of which the market supply is large, also suggested a process of churning de- signed for effect upon the price or upon the sentiment of observers rather than for the accumulation of stock. Com- mission houses, however, reported an appreciable increase in orders from miscellaneous sources, presumably of Hess highly speculative origin. The tone of the bond market was also sensibly improved and the broadening of the demand for Investment securities in that department is considered of good augury.
 Of the high grade investment stocks Delaware, Lackawanna and Western was conspicuous for an advance to a new record price of 4041a. The confi- dent absorption of Illinois Central con- istituted an effective leadership for the market and this stock also touched a record price of 175h. Rumors of a combination with Union Pacific were held to account for the rise. There was a belated movement in the Gould group, which have long been quiescent. There were some notable laggards in the early movement among the most conspicuous | StOckS Tn the nlafkets put HloSL oL LHeSt responded later to the prevailing up- ward tendency and were effective in Sustaining the tone of the market after the influence of the earlier strong feat ures had commenced to wane.

although he left an estate of over
$4,000, the coroners virdict will show
that he practically starved himself to
death.
In his younger years Pothram was
bank teller, good dresser and con-
sidered quite a dandy. His fiancee, it
is said, rejected him just prior to the
day for the wedding. The story goes
that he told her he would never wear
any other clothes than the outfit he
purchased for the wedding, and that
he would pass her house every day UNI
til she repented.
For twenty years he dressed so shah
billy, that people believed he was still
wearing his wedding suit His over
coat was threadbare, and crudely
patched in thirty places, his hair was
always unkempt and the same straw
hat partly covered It, summer and
winter for many years.

CAVALRY HORSES ARE HIGH
GOVERNMENT WILL PAY $1a5 A
HEAD FOR ANIMALS FOR
PHILIPPINES.
WaIIa WalIa May Be Distributing
Point for Animals Bought in
Oregon and Washington.

An instance of the way horses fiji
for cavalry use have advanced in price
the past few years is seen in the
awarding of contracts at Seattle few
days ago for over 1000 head for the use
of the American army in the Philip
pines. Charles F. Clancy and Dudley
Baker and Simons of Seattle were
awarded the contract for furnishing
$40 head at $135 each. The contracts
for furnishing the remainder of the
1000 head wanted were awarded to
Portland and Tacoma firms.
A few years ago when the British
government was buying up horses to
be used in the South African war,
Walla Walla was made. the central re-
ceiving point and it is expected that
most of the horses purchased on east
for the Philippines, will be shipped
here for inspection. The announce
ment that the cavalry board will in
spect band of horses usually brings
out a big crowd as fun fast and furious
is generally the result.
One of the requirements in a sale is
that every horse must be saddled and
ridden and as many of the animals Of
fered for sale come unbroken off the
ranges the equestrian feats per-
spectacular and thrilling.

FOOLED BY ADVENTURES.
McDermott Of Atlantic Relieved by the
Courts.

DIES MONIES, Iowa. Feb. THE
McDermott divorce suit at Atlantic
took a sensational turn yesterday
when Judge Wheeler refused to grant
a decree and $4,000 alimony in favor
of the wife, and upon the assumption
that the woman is an adventures.
gave the decree in McDermott's favor
and allowed no alimony at all.
Henry McDermott is one of the old
timers in western Iowa. He helped
break $40 acres of prairie while a
blushing maid in Ohio waited for him
to get a start so she could come and
be mistress of his farm. The first Mrs.
McDermott died and he confined his
ambitions to piling up money. The
$40 acres of land to which he held
grew to be worth close to 500 an
acre.
In 1899 Mrs. Gorilla Thompson of
Decatur, Mich, moved to Cass coun-
ty and soon formed the acquaintance
of the elderly farmer. McDermott took
her across the prairies to prayer meet
ing, for she was a devout Cristian.
The couple were soon married and the
devotion is said to have Immediately
grown less fervent. Mrs. McDermott
demanded large sums of money and
trips to California and New York.
Last year the couple quarreled so
seriously over money matters that the
wife brought suit for divorce and asked
$4,000 cash alimony. A countersuit
was brought by the husband the
charges being kept secret, and it was
not known until yesterday that the
gray haired man in court had claimed
to have discovered that his wife had
not been legally separated from a hus-
band in Michigan.
In making the decree in McDermott's
favor the court held that the marriage
to McDermott was null because Mrs.
Thompson had another husband, and
McDermott- was relieved from all
financial responsibilities 1t is now
discovered that the name Thompson
was assumed and that the woman's
real name was holland

AL EYES TURN TO SEATTLE
INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION OF
CHRISTIAN ENDEAvoR MAY
GO THERE.
California Has Had Her Innings and
Now Northern State Should Be
Given Privilege.

Members Of Walla Walla's Christian
EndeavOr societies are anxiously
watching the fight that Seattle is MAX
ing to secure the International con-
vention of the society in 1907.
The movement was inaugurated at
the meeting of the state society which
which a resolution favoring Seattle
passed unanimously. The same action
was taken last month at Portland at
the state meeting of the Endeavors of
Oregon, so that Seattle has the in
dorsements OF. at least two Pacific coast
states for the convention to be held in
1907.
The only two coast cities in the race
are Seattle and Los Angeles. San
Francisco had the International con-
vention ten years ago, and while nat
urally the influence of California will
be thrown to Los Angeles the chances
of Seattle being selected are consid-
cred to be exceedingly bright
The Christian Endeavor society is
one that has had phenomenal
growth since it was founded twenty
four years ago. In past conventions
the attendance has ranged from 10000
to 10000, and with the increasing
growth of the order it is estimated that
this number will be greatly increased
in 1907.
F. Edgar Barth, president of the
Washington State Christian Endeavor
Union, has been actively engaged on
the project to have the Endeavorers
meet in Seattle, and the encourage
| ment received thus far leads him to
| believe that the desired result will be
| attained. The general sentiment all
over the Union is that the convention
| following the one to be held in Balti-
| more should come to the Pacific coast
and as California has been once IA
vored President Barth says there is no
reason why the workers should not
look with favor on Seattle.

Kiss Rewards Hero Of Runaway Cal

Kiss Rewards Hero Of Runaway Car.
NEW YORK, Feb. Thirty pas
sengers on runaway trolley car of the
Union railway, bound from Bedford
park to Mount Vernon, owe their lives
to the presence of mind Of Joseph Bull
ger of Brooklyn, who ran through the
car and shut off the electric power af-
ter the car had gone a mile through
the principal street of Mount Yer
non, at the rate of forty miles an
hour.
After it was all over, the passengers
gathered round Bulger and sl.cwered
him with thanks. Bulger refused a
present. Then a handsome young
woman edged her way through the
crowd and kissed him.
The runaway was due to the fact
that the motorman was thrown from
the car by lurch while attempting
to shut an open gate.

as After the Theatrical Trust-Has
Interested Capital and Agents
May Soon Be Here.

A string of theatres from Los Ange-
2es to Seattle and which may include
Wal1a Walla, is the plan of David Be-
iasco, leading theatrical man of San
Francisco, who has announced his de-
termination to fight the so called theat-
rical rust through the Sherman anti
trust law.
Belasco, as the manager of Blanche
Bates, has been compelled to fight the
trust in order to get his attractions
before the public properly and in sew
eral instances he has been compelled
to show in inferior play houses. This
has had the effect of rousing the fight
ing spirit of Belasco and he has in
terested enough capital to make it pos
sible to fight the trust. Belasco's
schema l. is to establish independent
play houses in every city Of prominence
on the coast If MS scheme works out
agents will soon be in Walla Walla to
negotiate for theatre building.

"The Sin of David"

A fashionable lenten audience filled
Dobinson auditorium last night to
listen to Mrs. George A. Dobinson's
reading of Stephen Phillips poetical
drama, 1.-The Sin of David"
This drama has it's plot summarized
in it's title, the identical temptation that
beset David concerning Bathsheba,
making him send her husband Uriah
to death that he might marry the wild
ow, besetting this stern warrior Lisle,
of the time of Cromwell. The setting
only is different.
1t is a significant and beautiful
drama with all of Phillips warmth
of color and music of language, and
Mrs. Dobinson did it full justice, maxi
ing the audience feel fully the moving
scenes, the different temperaments in
which the story deals. Especially con-
vincing was she at the dramatic finale
of the play when the two sinners, the
conscious and the unconscious, are
finally united over their dead child.
Mrs. Dobnson was assisted by the
Beethoven trio, Miss Elizabeth M
Jordan, piano; Arthur M. Perry, violin
and Paul Dennison, cello, with appro-
pirate incidental music and music be-
tween the acts.
