The MfafIefne.

Many conflicting tales have been told about the mistletoe-how it came to be one of Cupid's strongest cards. In the old Morse mythology curses were heaped upon the unlucky plant because 1t had been the innocent in- strument of the death of Baldur the Beautiful, who was beloved by all the gods except Loki, the mischief maker, who naturally was envious enough to connive at ways to put Baldur out of the way.
 But while the sorrowing gods were heaping curses upon the plant the god dess of love stopped them and, catch ing up the very plant which had slain Baldur, exhorted them all in memory of the bright, beautiful, gentle god to greet each other whenever they saw it with kiss.
 "Baldur is dead, indeed" she said, "but Baldur's spirit lives, and that spirit Is love. Let us use the very thing that killed him as a symbol of love-"
 She hung the branch up, and one by one the angry gods passed out, hushing their sorrow at his death

 The six large ice houses at Orcutt- vile, owned by Robbins 6 Patterson, were burned Monday afternoon. It is thought that the fire originated from a spark from a locomotive. The houses were valued at $1O, 900, and the loss is partially covered by insur- ance. There was no insurance on contents, and owing to the scarcity the ice was more valuable than usual and the loss will be heavier. It is estimated that 5000 or 5000 tons had been gathered. and it was valued at about $2O, ,OOO. The ice had all been sold in carload lots, to be delivered as needed. One of the most regret able features connected with the loss, from the viewpoint of the owners, is the fact that they will have to dis appoint their customers. The fire started in the house farthest north at about B o'clock in the afternoon. At four o'clock three of the houses were in flames and it was evident that all would have to go, as there was no way of doing anything to extinguish the flames. The members of the firm live iD Norwich, and both came here as soon as they could after being notified of the condition. While the ice was not appreciably wasted by the fire, it is dangerous to get near it, owing to the fact that the blocks are beginning to fall, and the owners are not hope full of saving any of it. MT. Robbins stated Tuesday morning that the loss on the ice and the loss on buildings above the insurance would in all probability be about $25. 900.
 MT. Patterson. of Robbins & Patter- son, is at Orcuttville and will make every effort to save at least 8 part of the ice. The ice has not wasted materially, but it is dangerous to work around it owing to the possibil- ity of the cakes falling from the pile. 10 may prove difficult to build struc- lures around the ice, but it will be at- tempted,

 Paul Bennett, 42, died last Wednes- day after a long illness of Bright's disease. Bennett had lived in town about IA years. Very little is known of his history previous to his coming here. but he had talent enough to have made mark for himself had his habits been different. He was a ventriloquist, a mimic of more than average ability and clever as juggler. He was good enough for vaudeville. which has been such a rage for the past few years. He leaves a widow. The funeral was held from his home last Friday morning and the burial was in St. Edwards cemetery.

S., pitched a fine game, striking out eleven men, giving no passes and allowing only four scatter ed hits. His support was fine. Con- verse played his usual strong game at third and batted the ball we'll. 'Short" Walbridge was the bright spot on the Riversides, while the good work of Ingham at 2d and the catch made by Grundy at middle was ap- plauded by the audience.

THE STOCK MARKET
THE MOVEMENT IS SLUGGISH AND
 INCONSTANT.
A Favorable Bank Statement fs Ex- Pected and When It Comes Des- uitory EMort fs Made to
 Advance Prfces.

New York. July 14.--No significance can be attached to the sluggish and in- constant movement of prices in today g dull and narrow market A favorabt' bank statement was generally expect ed and bear room traders attempted 10 advance prices on the prospect. Nc serious selling pressure was met on the small advances. But there was nc following up to the movement and the traders operated only with the utmost caution, amounting to timidity.
 When they attempted to release prof It's on early sales before the .closs they found the market as bare or real aosorptive power as 1t was Of seliine pressure. A condition of profound neglect was disclosed. The taking ot profits left prices close to the level al which they left off last night. The bank statement showed restoration of rather r1ore than last weeks loss In the surplus item. The $l4,345.000 loan stock market liquidation and the ex- cess in the cash gain over the prelim- mary estimates was credited to cor rection of the discrepancy in that item last week.
 The weeks repayments of govern ment deposits are shown to have amounted to $1.34s.S00 exclusive of drafts by interior banks upon New York accounts for that purpose. Tns report from Washington that $4,00O,0VO to $4,500.500 of government money was neglected as promising an offset to the effect of the current withdrawal of Sl0.- 000, 900 which will affect principally the New York banks.
 The close was heavy. Total sales of bonds, $2,500,0 900.

Chicnrn GrnIn nnd Prn.lnce

Chicago. July 14.-Proht taking by local longs caused an easy tone at the close of the wheat market today, the final quotations on the September de- livery being off Is Corn was down 1-4@3S. Oats showed a loss of 3-S@1-2.
 Provisions were shade to 10 cents lower.
 The selling pressure on the wheat market developed late in the day and resulted in slight declines at the close Prior to that time sentiment in the pit was inclined to be bullish. Additional reports wero received today from the Northwest claiming damage by black rust, but the effect of these advices was partially offset by several reports denying that the crop had been injured by rust The weather bureau reported scattered showers throughout the Northwest and this encouraged the buying of wheat here. Another factor that exerted considerable weight was the continued rain in Southern Russia which is said to be interfering with harvesting. The market closed easy September opened a shade lower al
