Referring to President Roosevelt.
Judge Gaynor added: II honor the Presl-

fortunate man was undoubtedly a
sicide Engineer William Ballen-
ger who was in charge of the engine
that caused the death, testified that
he saw a man on the track in front
of the engine wildly waving his
arms and apparently not needing the
approach Of the train. Before the
engineer could reduce the speed Of
his engine the man was struck and
tossed into the air Death must have
been instantaneous. The unfortun-
ate man is thought to have been de-
mented as several yard employees saw
him earlier in the day acting queer

of the way of passing trains on sew
eral occasions. The body will be

TAPEW0RM DOCTOR ARRESTED

Some time ago Dr. d. F. Bixler and
his brother were arrested at South
Bend for practicing medicine with
out a license. Attorney Drummond
defended him but the men were
found guilty and were fined 800
each The doctor and his brother
were unable to furnish the money
and Attorney Drummond finally
agreed to stay their fines. He took
the responsibility for the fellows re-
appearance and found that his conf
dence had been misplaced for Dr..
Bixler never put in an appearance.
Several days ago the police depart
ment received telegram from South
Bend asking if Bixler was in town
as he was wanted for horse stealing
he was found here last night at
1880 and was arrested An inquiry
was telegraphed to South Bend and
this morning Deputy Sheriff Keer
and Attorney Drummond arrived in
the city with warrant charging
Bixler with jumping his bond instead
of the former charge OF horse steal
ing. He was taken back TO South
Bend by the officers.

TITANs AT WORK.

AFFAIRS of great moment move
so quickly in this Calumet region
that one has to keep on the keen
jump and wear seven-league boots to
keep in even close touch with them.
Vast areas Of desert waste are con-
verified in a day. The concentration
of all the industrial combinations of
the United States at this point not
only seems reasonable but probable.
The strategic commercial position of
this territory was recognized many
years ago but it remained for the
United States Steel corporation to
begin the work of industrial coloni-
zatlon on scale OF such vastness
that now the eyes of the world are
turned hitherward. Struggling viii
lagos which few years ago looked
like warts on the wind-blown dunes
are destined today to be welded into
one vast community This is no idle
dream or the inspiration of a real
estate boom. The discoveries of this
region-its early pioneers. who
fought a stubborn, unpromising field
have been engulfed by the wave
which had its beginning in New
York, Chicago. Pittsburg and Phila-
delphia. Some Of them are proflting
by the value that has been added ia
their slender holdings Geography
and the shaping of the ends of mighty
projects have done much for this sec
ton. Nature did little for it ex-
cept to place il in the direct path OF
the stream Of commerce. Now that
stream is branching outward with an
outlet through the Panama canal.
The Titans of trade are working
wonders here.

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, Aug. 24-AnOther wild
and exciting day on the stock ex-
change with everything on the list
traded in. The volume OF tTansac-
tions were about on the same scale
as yesterday, only the fluctuations
were wider and more erratic than has
been the case lately. Manipulators
were at work again in Consolidated
gas. This stock sold 'ex-dividend"
this morning at lao and Immediately
advanced on the same class of buy
ing that appears every time any one
has the arrogance to sell this issue
short. 1t was bid up TO 143 without
an effort and shorts were compelled
to pay high prices to regain their
contracts sold under 40.
The Hartman stocks, Union and
Southern Pacific were taken in hand
again with renewed vigor and the
confidence displayed in the purchase
OF these two issues is simply mar
velous. Union Pacific opened around
1873 and from the opening gong there
was terrific buying in lots of one TO
five thousand At the close tonight
it shows a gain of five points, selling
at 1S9, the highest in the history Of
the road and within three points of
ST Paul a stock that has been paying
per cent for years and one that is
under very conservative manage
ment The enthusiasts on Union
Pacific are talking 5000 for their
stock They argue if it can afford
to pay 10 per cent annually, there is
no logical reason why it is not worth
this figure or more. Southern Paci-
| fc, also, was in the limelight. II
opened around SO and all during the
session there was large blocks of it
wanted at any price. 1t gradually
advanced until it had reached the
high level of 9215, rally Of over
three points for the day.
The market generally closed act
i've and strong for most of the high
class rails and rather weak for the
industrials. Sales 100000.
