APPLE TREES 90 YEARS OLD.
Planted by Indians at . Historic
 Michigan Spot.

Planted by the Indians eighty years ago, when the spot was an In- dian reservation and burying ground, two apple trees still stand side by side on the bank of the Shiawassee River near here.
 The trees are now of mammoth size measuring respectively six and eight feet in circumference, and notwith- standing their age they are still ill healthy condition and bear fruit each year.
 Near where they stand were To- cated the first settlement made by white men in Shiawassee county about 100 years ago. In those early days the spot was one of the chief trading points in this locality. It was located on one of the first trails here ab0uts, and being also on the river bank was accessible by water. In those days water was used for travel good deal more than it is now.
 So large was the business done by Indians and fur traders that in 1S4O bank was established here It was one of the wildcat variety so common in those days, and issued great amount of the wildcat currency.
 Tradition has it that while the bank was doing a flourishing business some of the large holders of it's currency became uneasy about the security for the redemption of the paper and plan ned a raid to loot the bank. The bank officials. hearing of the plan took the banks specie and buried it near the river. There still live in that vicinity some old-timers who believe that the money is buried there yet, and many excavations have been made fin the hope of uncoyering some of if.
 The trend of progress has been away from this spot, and any one vis- iting there to-day will find n peace full farming community. but if one chooses to spend little time culti- vating the acquaintance of the old inhabitants he will find wealth of historic lore and quaint traditions of nionecr life which will reward the ef- fort.

market which held that the paralysis
 of interest was largely due to revised
 views of the general prospect for divi- dend increase as eXemplified in the case of United States Rubber and, more notably, in the conservative dividend action of the Atchson directors yester- day in putting that stock on a per cent, basis instead of per cent. as was widely expected, Ever since the Union Pacific dividend increase speculative sentiment has looked for sensational developments along those lines. The Atchison decision has awakened sur- misses of differences of opinion among powerful capitalists over choosing the method of large dividend increases to stimulate inactive market for securi- ties. Speculative sentiment was dis turbed also by the rumors of hitch In the lore deal' and by the countenance which was given to these rumors in some quarters regarded as authorita- tive. What part political considera- tion played in the halt of the market was not so clear. But some influence was allowed to this factor bv common consent. The present action of the is- sues by the opposing candidates in the state of New York threw the subject lnto prominence and the large atten- ton given by both sides to questions or corporation abuses and means for thelr control struck the situation of Wall street anew. The impression was emphasized by the publication during lll9 session ot the presidents address at Harrisburg. Holders of shares in cor porations feel some trepidation when the power and profits of those organi zatlons are presented as a menace to the public welfare and the action of to-day's stockmarket was not without reference to this subject The money market continued to relax both here ana abroad. Discounts yielded in Lon don and Paris, inspite of the weak re- turns of the government banks owing 10 the strain of the October settlements The financial community was favorablv impressed by the plan of currency re- form presented by the committee of the chamber of commerce. Neither the early strength nor the midday weak ness persisted and the market closed irregular

STOCK MARKET FEATURES
NOTHING IMPORTANT THE DAYS
 RESULT.

Constant Rise and Fall With Little Net
 Change--Bnnk of England Reserve
 Ratio Goes to Lowest Point for Six
 Nevertheless Bank Discarded Its Pro-
 tective Measures-CaH Money Easy
 Time Money at Per Cent.
 Alternating nipples of advance and retreat marked an uneventful market yesterday with final results making lit tie impression on the market records
 There was TO change made in the Bank of England rate yesterday. The week has resulted in loss of nearly $12,0OQ,00O gold from that institution. The banks ration of reserve to liabil- ity went down to 9S 1-2 per cent, the lowest figure at this time of year since 1890.
 What the bank did yesterday in the face of this situation was suddenly and without warning to abandon all its protective measures of a fortnight ago, reduce it's leading rates from the figures then arbitrarily fixed. It is hard to understand just what this means, evil dently financial London does not un- derstand it.
 A break in United States Rubber was o5 hot a o ing of directors, supposed to take place later in the day, the dividend would be postponed.
 London traded in only 10000 shares here, selling a little on balance, in- eluding Canadian Pacific and other Pa cifc stocks. American stocks were generally heavy on the other side be- fore the local opening Other securities, however. were fairly steady, helped by the failure of the Bank of England to advance the discount rate.
 The ease of call money and the growing east of time accommodations had a good effect on sentiment, but did not induce many to enter the stock market Time loans were reported to have been made at 6 per cent. for all perids from two to six months.
 A feature of the day was the selling of some 5O,OOO shares of various stocks by prominent trader who had just returned from Europe. These were put out during the early rally. Some issues rose little after his selling. That the incident had any significance does not appear.

 Since the announcement was made that Miss Mabel Mckinley, the favor ite niece of the late President McKin- ley, had been engaged to appear all next week at Polls theater, friends of her distinguished uncle have been stir ring themselves to make the engage ment notable in the way of the well come extended to her Wherever Miss Mckinley has appeared on the vaude- vile stage admirers of the martyred president have taken a personal inter- est In her, rendering social invitations and turning out in large theater parties to hear her sing. The young lady, however, has not been able in many cases to avail herself of these invita- tions because of the physical weakness under which she labors as result of an accident that befell her in her youth that she is forced to walk with the aid of erutches During her engagement In this city next week Mrs. Mckinley will accept but a few of the many in- N1ldIlOlo LlicbI llC1NC dlICduy Uttu GX- tended to her, and these will be confin- ed entirely to persons that she met while living in the family of Presdent Mckinley at the White House. Con- gressman Sperry win undoubtedly be one of the personal few, as his ac, quaintance with President Mckinley was very close and he has also met Miss Mckinley on several occasions.
 As is well known Miss Mckinley has had the advantages of the best vocal training under the leading instructors of Vienna and Milan, and during her engagement she will introduce among her repertoire of songs the well known Indian song "Anona" that was written specially for her. The other selections will be of character to show her won derful soprano voice and her superb vocal culture to the best possible ad- vantage, SD that the engagement Will he a notable one for lovers of high class singing. Poli's theater will, un- less all signs fail, be the most popular pace in town next week and will un- doubtedly be visited by hundreds of people who are not regular patrons of the vaudeville theater.
