Stocks and Bonds.

New York, March 31.-Thc slight
opening price trecesSions in the stock
market today were due largely to sym
patty With the London market in
which prices Of American stocks
moved irrcgularIy. The level of prices
was restored carly in the dealings hero
and the market displayed varying
strength up to the closing which was
firm and at abont the best prices. Con
ditions in the coal industry had special
reelection in the days movements, Cs-
pcci3IIy the decision of the miners
to accept h terms offered by that

and today tho great Republican party
is dominated in its policies by the
great Middle West-the great Missfs-
sippi VALLEY. Mr.. Reed was the last
Speaker from the East, which that
party furnished. and under norrrai
conditions the future occupants u
that high office viii continue to cone
from the West. Again, today the
principal committees of the House.
which control legislation upon ali
essential questions are made UP from

Blooms Mysterious Well

Fred Bloom Of Webster has a magic
we'll on his farm that is subject to
hts and starts that would bother a pe-
oiogist or even a magician to explain.
When the wind blows from a north.
erly direction the wind mill will bring
up water all day long, but if on the
Following day or auy other day the
WIND Is from a southerly direction the
well runs dry in ten or fifteen min.
utes. This is not a new popularity
but has proven true time after time
for several years.
Who can explain this strange phe-
nomenon? II the farm lay near a lake
or large body Of water one might
think the explanation lay in this, that
a northerly wind banked up the water
on the south shore and started it to
flow thru %crevices that we're high and
dry, If the wind blew from the other
direction, but his farm is nowhere
near a large body OF water and GER
tainly not near enough so that the
supply of water could be exhausted in
fifteen minutes. Mr.. bloom has been
down the we'll and says that the inlet
of water is on the north side of the
wel].-Webster World.
