(By Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-Trading IN
stocks was active. but nothing like
me same degree rs for some time
past. Outside of the speculative fav-
orites the market was exceedingly dull
ana sluggish and nearly stagnant at
times
The contrast in the call loan rate
quoted below G per cent. with the
stock market quiet and gilt-edged mer-
camille paper commanding 6 1-2 to Z
per cent. and also loans for GO and
30 days commanding premium equal
To an interest above z per cent. was
regarded in stock market circles as
glowing evidence of the innocence of
speculative borrowers of any part in
the responsibility for high money
rates This contrast was felt to offer
convincing argument in favor OF
new relief measures by the treasury
department.
~ The special strength of Southern
Pacific was based on reports of an in
tended issue of preferred stock to PRO.
vide means for taking over st. Paul.
Amalgamated Copper responded to an
advance III the price of the metal and
number of minor industrialS were
affected by special factors bearing on
their Industries.
The closing tone was heavy and
there was no relief from the predom.

IS A CANDIDATE.

John Stantial, of Grangevllle, IN
letter to the editor of the MINING NEWS
announces his candidacy before the
coming county republican convention
for the office Of assessor.
, Our old friend would doubtless proveI
an efficient officer in that caplclty.
However his comparatively recent con-
nection with Pinchot's bureau OF
forestry graft will in our opinion work
a hardship on his very honorable asplra-
tons in that direction, inasmueh as the
miners and prospectors look upon any
one connected with the attempt to
fasten that UBIQUITOUS system upon tne
west as enemies of the PUBLIC welfare
In connection with this vital question
this line of action will of course be tol
lowed with all candidates, whether II
county, state or national politics. AM
right here IT might be well to stat
that while silence Is considered golde
in some things, it will not be so conslo

The Harrison times. (Harrison, Boone Co., Ark) 1876-1938, 1906-05-12

If you can contribute to the De
partment ofAgriculture arat, mouse,
dog or rabbit fatally i'll of a contag-
eous disease you may confer bene-
fit worth millions of dollars. The
Department is seeking for some
means OF riding certain parts of the
country of "varmints" that are do
ing enormous damage but that defy
ordinary means of determination.
In one county in the state of Wash
ington field mice practically have
ruined all crops, while in Wyoming
wolves are raidlng the cattlemen's
herds with ever increasing boldness
and traps are of no avail against
them. Throughout the entire coun-
try field mice, field rats, ground
squirrels, gophers and such small
pests are costing the country millions
OF dollars annually. Some form Of
epidemic seems the only way-to get
rid of them.

COVE RNoR DAVIS receiving mark.
ed attention from the people of the
west where he is spending several
weeks. The Salt Lake Herald, pub
lished at Salt Lake City, Utah, in
speaking of the governor, says; No
body could mistake him for an east
erner. He is typically a westerner,
with but suggestion Of the south.
Though his face is stern ordinarily,
he greets his friends with genuinely
genial smile and a hearty handshake.
The impression which opposing po-
litical papers have sent broadcast oil
him as an uncouth swashbuckler, is
decidedly erroneous. 1t is a matter
requiring no expert in physlognomy
to decide from his countenance that
he is a man who makes friends and
keeps them, and is an undesirable
enemy" Governor Davis has de.
clined many invitations to speak
since he has been on his western trip,
prelerring to spend the time quietly,
resting and sight seeing.
The Harrison times. (Harrison, Boone Co., Ark) 1876-1938, 1906-05-12

THE merchant who doesn't adver-
tise is good merchant to let alone
In nine cases out of ten his prices are
SO high that he dare not quote them
publicly. He relies on the gullability
of the customers who drift into his
place of business. The merchant who
keeps the right kind of stuff on his
shelves and counters and who is
satisfied with reasonable profits is
the one who tells you right out in
the open what his prices are and
what kind of goods you may find in
his store.-Springfed Republican.

simmerman the Bigamlst.

Writing to Sheriff { B. Robinson
last week cora Briekey, the second
wiGe~of the bigamist arrested here
asst year, tells the particulars of'his
recent trial at Kansas City,
Edward Simmermanh had his trial
March 2Sth here in criminal court,
and was sentenced to two years in
the penitentiary by jury, He filed a
motion for new trial, and it came
up for decision before Judge Wofford
Saturday, April 29th. They plead
with the Judge for new trial, but
the Judge told him hehad fair trial
and was proven guilty. All the ex-
cuse he could give was, that he
thought his wife in Illinois had got
ten a divorce from him, but the
Judge told him thoughts didn't stand
in court My main witness was a
brother of his wife from Illinois; he
testified that he was very cruel to
her, and choked and abused her the
same as he did me. So, you see he is
a brute, His attorneys worked on
the sympathy OF the jurymen for his
two girls, but if they would have al
lowed me to tell how | saw him
abuse them, 'twould have been
worse for him, When he seen the
Judge would have no mercy on him,
he said he guessed he would have to
take his sentence, for he hadn't the
money to take it to the Supreme
court Judge Wofiord said he got off
lucky with two years; that if he got
a new trial he would get five years
sure, after lying a year in Jail. That
woman he was in company with
when you arrested him, ought to be
thankful, as heard she was going
to marry him in a short time; he
would have got her money and.skip-
ped. Well, would have been better
pleased if he had got five years, then
his two girls would both have been
of age when he came cut; but he will
have two years to think the past
oyer, and redeem himself if he wishes
to do so. Mr.. Robinson | wish to
thank you for the favors you did me,
both in arresting him, and for~the
So so you sent back to me, which

ceipr for your fees, l feel very much
relieved to know | am free from such
a cruel brute as Edward Simmerman
proved himself to be. | don't think
he will want to fool with another
Missouri woman again soon, and
twill be at least two years before he
will be able to choke and abuse an
other helpless woman.
