horse, and the stranger did likewise.
 The stranger was attired in a blue shlrt, corduroy trousers, broad brimed i nat and a red kerchief entwined about
 his neck. He had a long mustache
 which swayed gently to and fro in the
 morning breeze and a six shooter hung carelessly at his side.
 T am looking for gentleman by the
 name of Ike" said the constable. q don't exactly know his full name. but
 he seems to be an individual of some prominence in this locality and is sometimes referred to as Terrible Ike. Could you inform me where I would be likely to find him?' 'Wa-al, I reckon ye won't hey to go very fur to find him." was the gruff reply
 An, then you know him? If you would be so kind as to inform me where I shall find him I would greatly appreciate your kindness
 "Wa-al stranger. I'm him"
 To say that the constable was sur prised would be putting it rather mild ly. He was dumbfounded.
 "Ohi" he exclaimed, "I had hardly expected to encounter you so soon. I have document here which I was re- quested to read to you" saying which he drew the warrant from his pocket and began to read:
 "State Of Inconsistency,

 owing to the fact that certain indi- viduals have entered complaints as to your conduct during the past six months. alleging that you have. on nu- merOus occasions, suddenly and unex- pectedly relieved them of divers arti- cles of more or less valuable nature and whereas. there seems to be some dissatisfaction among relatives of cer- tain individuals who, with your aid and assistance. have shuffled off this mortal coil. and whereas the authori- ties of this county have been greatly annoyed by numerous requests to bring you into court. we regret to inform you that these divers complaints will no longer permit the matter to be de ferred and we therefore would be greatly obliged to you if. at your con venience. you would come into court and inform us whether or not you are guilty of such charges as hereintofore mentioned.
 ''Regretting that We are compelled to annoy you in this manner and trusting that it will occasion you no inconven- fence. we beg to inscribe ourselves ''The Prosecutor. The Sheriff.

 "Oh that will be perfectly satisfac- tory I assure you.'' said the constable. Just use your own pleasure about the matter"
 This mission now being performed, there was nothing to do but return, and as Ike was going a short way in his direction the two rede along togeth- CT chatting pleasantly.

The prosecutor reclined leisurely in a chair his feet elevated and resting on his desk. In one hand he had doc ument which he leisurely perused as he smoked his morning cigarette. After he had finished reading the document before him he lighted a fresh cigarette and sat for some moments in silence. Presently he arose, stepped to the op- posite side of the room and pressed the button of an electric bell which connected with the sheriff's office.
 Returning to his desk he began open ing the morning mail and was thus engaged when the sheriff entered.
 "Ah, good-morning. sheriff," he said as that gentleman entered.
 Good morning, prosecutor" was the pleasant response. Beautiful morn ing"
 Beautiful, indeed, In fact too beau tiful to impart the unpleasant infor- nation which I am about to disclose.'
 "So?" said the sheriff dejectedIy.
 Yes. The grand jury have request ed me to prepare a warrant for the ar rest of Terrible Ike.''
 Well. well, well: this is indeed un- pleasant news. What are the charges g'
 There is the warrant, you can see for yourself" and he handed the docu- ment to the sheriff.
 The sherih perused it and as he fn- ished. lifted his eyebrows. whistled softly and turned his eyes in the direc- uon of the prosecutor with an enquir- ing gaze.
 T regret said the prosecutor. that our duty compells us to participate in this unpleasant affair, and I trust that We shall occasion Ike but little incon- Nenience in regard to the matter. How ever 1t will be necessary for you to inform him of the contents of this doc ument. Of course you understand that there is no immediate rush about the matter, but I would suggest that YOU attend to it at your earliest conven. ience.'
 The sheriff carefully folded the doc ument placed it in his pocket and slowly strolled from the office, saying n1thing. When he arrived at his of flee he summoned the constable and. explaining the situation, handed him the warrant.
 Some three weeks later the constable Was returning from Thursday evening prayer meeting when he reached into his pocket to secure his handkerchief and in doing so discovered a piece of paper. Removing it he was somewhat surprised to discover that it was this t2ne warrant which the sheriff had /sven him some time previous. ' The following morning not feeling well, owing to his being out so late the previous evening attending prayer meeting, he decided that it would do him good to ride out into the country. 2 { some fresh air and incidentally in- fo-m Terrible Ike that he was wanted in court. Accordingly he mounted his horse and started for the mountains. Although the constable had often heard of Terrible Ike. it had never been his good fortune to meet him personal ! ly and consequently his mission was rather an uncertain one.

Steel Spring company by, the American
Locomotive company It is probably
true that there have been tentative
negotiations with this end in view, but
up to this time nothing has been done.
The fact that some of the directors of
the two companies are identical has
been used by the stock jobbers as a
basis for. the story. -. 49,.
Nothing more has been heard Of
rights to st. Paul shareholders, altho
an early announcement is expected.
The current report that shareholders
will claim the privilege to subscribe at
par for $11,OO0,OO0 stock, incidentally
being asked to take $33,00O,0OO 31a per
cent convertible bonds at par. This
is in direct contrast to the story that
the road would put out short-time notes
at current call-money rates! with the
intention Of refunding with bonds
when the money situation Is more
favorable. :.
THE heavy buying by a specialist in
SHELTERS has attracted attention. The
stock has been strongly Htipped' for
several days. The advance was refer
able to the rumor that a ''deal' was
pending between this company and the
United States Refining & Reduction
Co. According to the gossip, the for
mer company was to take over the
latter. The rumor mill has been very
busy during the past few days, and con
ffrmation Of this story, as well as those
bearing upon other properties, was
lacking. Indeed, it may be said that
scarcely one trader in ten expected any
confirmation. Stanley SchrOff.

THE FINANCIAL, OUTIuO OK

AS was the case in 19O3-04, the ten
dency in New York finance Is toward
note issues at time-money rates, over
$61, 100000 being put out last month
alone Many minor corporations are
only awaiting the satiation Of the de-
mands of more favored concerns to put
in their requisition for funds, as is
instanced by the many new projects for
lines in the south and west, the total
for which reaches several thousand
miles. In view Of all this underwrit-
ing the outlook for any immediate re-
duction of the almost unprecedented
glut Of securities is not promising.
The natural sequence of the heavy
demand for funds in connection with
corporate borrowing, to say nothing Of
the phenomenal business activity, is a
firm trend to money, which bids fair
to continue thruout the summer. Now
that the reopening Of the banks Of San
Francisco is thing Of the past, por-
ton of the $50,0OO,0OO transmitted to
the Golden Gate is returning, some au-
thorities estimating the probable ag-
gregate movement at $25,000,O00 This
would seem to argue for lower call
money, tho, in view of the likelihood
that these funds may be withdrawn
early, it can hardly affect time loans
to any extent.

the common stuff naturally was hard to
get rid of at last weeks prices. De-
mand from the country has been fully

limited during the latter end Of the

COTTON TRADE ALARMED

Exporters of American cotton goods
are seriously alarmed on account Of the
bad trade in the far east, particularly
in China. There is a glut of goods at
Shanghai which cannot be moved on
account Of the upsetting of China IS
currency system, due to the Russo Jap
anese war, the riots at Vladivostock, to
which place large quantity of goods
was destined, and to the adverse infu-
ence which Japan is exerting in China
in order to further her own trade. The
Japs are making every possible effort
to secure the bulk of the merchandising
in Manchuria and the northern prov
inces Of China. They are making it
difficult for the Cinnamon to trade, be-
cause Of the use of non-negotiable
funds, and besides pushing their own
goods they are endeavoring to secure
goods. which will sell, whether they be
American or English, and, in short.
they are trying to do all the business
to the exclusion Of the former traders
in the country.
At the end Of April there were
3,542,9S7 pieces of American sheeting
in stock at Shanghai, as against $780,
600 pieces at the same period last year.
The stocks Of jeans amounted to no.
349 pieces, as against 32,857 last year,
and the stocks Of drills to 1888 900
pieces compared with 571,9S5 year
ago. ~ .rr-.r

BIG JULY DIVIDENDS

July is the big dividend month. The
prospect is that the July distributions
will reach a new high record. Already
several mining companies announce
either initial or larger dividends, the
railroad payments will show moderate
increase, and the industrial total will
be bigger. Last July Industrial ICON
Germs alone distributed almost $29000,-
900, an increase Of 100000 over July,
1904. This year several companies Of
the National Lead type, will swell the
generous share Of the July disburse-
ments will be invested in bonds, since
at current quotations many Of these
form attractive Investments. The in
fusion of life into the bond market
would be even more welcome in higher
financial circles than stock market
