HAS SOMETHING TO LEARN.

John E. Fitzgerald has a good
and he is fast learning
to run it, but it took yesterdays
experience to teach him that even
a good machine cannot climb the
tower of the Chicago federal build
ing. Yesterday Mr.. Fitzgerald hir-
ed a chauffeur to teach him to run
his new machine He had just
reached the stage in learning the
A. B. c. of automobiling when he
thought it would be the easiest thing
in the world to run the thing him
self. just as his car was passing
the federal building Mr.. Fitzgerald
decided that he wanted to turn a
corner instead of going straight
ahead. The suddenness of the COM
mand made it impossible for the
chauffeur to make more than a ff-
teen-degree turn when it should have
ben forty-five The result was that
the fedral building was turned part
way around on its foundation and
Mr.. Fitzgerald's car was slightly
damaged.

STRANGER SHIFTS TICKET.

Mrs. Katrina Kopala is the victim
of misplaced confidence. She left
Indianapolis few days ago after
having purchased a round trip ticket
to Chicago On the way she made
the acquaintance of another Polish
woman who it developed later had
purchased a ticket only one way be-
tween the above mentioned cities
this woman persuaded Mrs. Kopala
to give her the return ticket which
she said would have to be exchanged
for another. She agreed to make
the exchange and did so by giving
Mrs. Kopala a worthless ticket. This
was presented to the conductor who
refused to accept it and the woman
was put of at Hammond. Here she
called at the police station and
through an interpreter explained her
plight The chief advised her to go
back to Chicago where she has a sis
ter, and remain there until enough
money to pay her transportation to
Indianapolis is secured.

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, July 2S.-Stocks open
ed strong and higher and continued
firm all day with one or two excep-
tions. The weak ones were Canad
ian Pacific and Southrrn Pacific.
These issues were the first TWO taken
up in this last bull movement, and
it is only natural that there should
be some profit taking in view of
the strength in the general market.
St. Paul Union Pacific, Atchison,
Missouri Pacific, Brooklyn, Copper,
Reading. Locomotive and the Fries
all scored advances ranging from
one to two per cent The best buy
ing was apparent in American Smell
ter and Copper, both of these stocks
being extremely active and highr
The return TO New York of Mr..
J. Pierpont Morgan and his enthus-
iastic bullish interview on the gener-
al situation had as much to do with
the advance as anything, and his two
pet stocks, namely Steel common and
preferred were taken in hand and
bid up with great confidence. The
entire market closed strong with the
advance we'll sustained.

MUST PAY 100000 BACK TAXES
Assessment Against Michigan Central
Railroad Held Valid.

The state of Michigan has gained
an important point in the case
against the Michigan Central rail-
road to collect 100000 in back
taxes, claimed to be due that state
under the original charter of the
corporation, and covering years from
1856 to 1898. The suit was brought
before Judge West in the Ingham
county circuit court TO collect on the
grounds that the company had made
a fraudulent report as to the amount
of property it had subject to taxa
ton.
The company filed a demurrer, al
leging that the state was barred by
the statute of limitation and laches.
The court below overruled the de-
murrer and the company appealed,
The arguments were heard by the
entire court except Justice Carpen-
ter, who was i'll, and Blair, who was
encouragement at the time the pro-
ceedings were started. The opinion
was written by Justice Montgomery,
all of the justices concurring except
Grant, who filed a lengthy dissenting
uplAAOn. e

Chicago. July 27.-WHEAT was
rather inactive today, having a range
of only about SIS of a cent. The
early news was of a bullish char
aeter, higher foreign markets, con-
tinued heavy rains in South Russia
and predicting a wet harvest in that
country were few of the bull fact
ors. Later in the session, liberal
selling appeared, presumably for the
Northwestern traders and one of the
larger elevator houses against cash
purchases in the country. Receipts
at Chicago and other principal mark
cts were large, this prevents any
pronounced demonstration by the
bull operators.
CORN-Very dull and featureiess,
the early tone was strong, but when
wheat became weak it affected the
corn market and commission houses
and sealpers sold a little corn.
Weather in the corn belt reported
more favorable today. The market
closed steady to firm.
OATS Receipts of twenty-five
cars of new oats at this market to-
day and of a good quality induced
considerable selling of the options

Clerk Runs Store.

Miss Campbell was seen at the
store this morning and she appeared
to be very much worried with the
cares of the establishment on her
slender shoulders, assisted alone by
the delivery boy. She declared that
the business has been paying we'll
and that she is sure that Reeht
would not stay away if he were able
to get back She said that the miss
ing man did not put any money in
the bank that day, although he
made out deposit slip. and that he
must, therefore, have had over $500
on his person when he started for
South Chicago. She stated that a
chum of Recht, John Madden of Chi
cago would soon be out to take
charge of the business and that all
would be right then.
The missing man has no relatives
in Whiting and boarded at the home
of the Fordyce family on Fishrupp
avenue, just back of the market.
Mrs. Fordyce says that Recht did not
come home to his evening meal night
before last, but sent his boy to tell
her that he wouldn't be there and to
be sure to awaken him early the fol-
lowing morning as he had to send
some meat to Gary on an early train.
When they went to call him in the
morning he was not there and had
not been there. Mrs. Fordyce says
that everything in the mans room
is just as he always leaves it and
that, contrary to his usual habit, he
did not change his clothes before go
ing away for the evening.
Can't Account for Absence.
Little could be found out regard
ing the mans business. All who
have had dealings with him speak
well of him and it cannot be found
out that he is involved to any great
extent financially A. Sugar, COM
mission merchant of Whiting, saw
Recht few minutes before he
boarded the train that enveloped him
in mystery. He says there was
nothing in the mans appearance or
actions to indicate that anything out
of the ordinary was to occur. Sugar
says that the missing butcher owes
him about $50 but that he offered
to draw check for the amount Tues
! day but Sugar did not want him to
do so, saying that another time
would do. Sugar expresses belief
that the man would return if he
could do so and says he is not wor-
ried about his bill in any event.
Recht is a little over five feet tall
and weight about $50 pounds. His
complexion is light, having light
brown hair and blue eyes and a
sandy mustache. On his chin is a
scar, the result of having been kicked
by horse When last seen the man
was dressed in a light gray suit with
a large check in the pattern. His
hat was a pearl fedora and he were
tan shoes. He wore a narrow leather
belt and carried small bundle
which some think contained bath
ing suit.
