BOOST IN STOCK PRICES
Sharp Recovery Is Feature of tho
Days Operations in Wall Street.

New York, March 27.-A complete
in the stock market. Although Lon
don prices were lower, the New York
exchange soon after the opening
showed a much stronger tone than for
some time past and quotations were
advanced sharply on very heavy buy
ing. The bears began to retreat on
rumOrs that further government as.
sistancc for the money market was
imminent, and when the formal an
nouncement came from Washington
that such assistance was to be given
the shorts began to cover up their out
standing contracts. At the same time
there was a renewal of purchases for
investment. The trading was wild
and excited, as the bears sought to
cover. Accompanying the upw ard
movement was an industriously circu-
lated rumor that an enormous pool
had been formed by the greatest bank
ing houses in Wall street to support
prices. This report, which lacked
confirmation, made it appear that
$50,O00,000 had been subscribed by
bankers to buy stocks with the OBJ
ject of putting stop to the recent
precipitate declines. The extreme ad-
vances reached to over seven points
in most Of the Hartman and Hill
stocks, to six or over in st. Paul, Ca
madam Pacific and Smelling and from
three to four points in a large number
OF the most active stocks. The ex.
treme gains were not all held and
the closing tone OF the market was
rather irregular.

The comparatively new science of dry farming has brought the price of arid lands in Oklahoma and Texas from nothing to $S and $10 an acre. The build ing of scientific roads and treating them with petroleum has doubled the price of farm lands in Madison county, Ten nessee,
 The value of mining lands is usually not related to the real estate value of the tract. In the phosphate beds of Ten nessee, however, it is different, for the phosphate rock underlies the richest of farm soils. A woman bought little patch of ten acres for $25 an acre the first of this year. She intended to manage small truck farm. Phosphate was found under the soil. She leased 1t for royalty of T5 cents a ton, and since February has had an income of $40 day from her investment of $250. It will take more than a year to get out all the phosphate, and then she will have her ten acres, much enriched in fertility, to use as she pleases.

 The little parcel of ground on Wall street which sold for $500 a square foot and eclipsed all records of the world for valuable land was almost twice as high at the bit of precious London dirt which the Bank of England bought for $375 a square foot, the highest ever known In England. Yet New York and the United States have scarce 300 years behind them, while England and London have 2000 years of history.
 Farm lands in the western states, espe- cially, city property in New York, Dal- las, Los Angeles, Seattle, Colorado Springs and other western cities, are now increasing in value at old-fashioned boom rate of upward flight. In other cities the Increase is more annually than 1t used to be in decade. All over the United States the values of farm lands increased 32 per cent in five years and the values of the products of the farms increased 40 per cent in the same period But there is no heavy mortgaging, such as preceded the last panic, and even If there should be a temporary halt in the march of prosperity, the people are in much bet ter condition to stand still Meanwhile, let every man who is a good American own bit of good American soil.

Miss DrysdaIe Dies After Short Ill., ness In Memphis, Where She Went a Few Days Ago
 On a Visit.

Selma. June 4-(Special. )-Before Justice Lloyd today appeared OctaVia Flannigan, the well known Lightning Calculator" The charge against the Calculator was shooting into house with shotgun, and from the evidence the justice bound the negro over in the sum of S20OO. Flannigan is a wonder. He can do almost any sum in arithmetic in his head and give the correct answer, the more fractions con- tained in the sum the better it seems to please him. He picks up many a dime from crowds that collect to see him per form the feat.
 He lives in the neighborhood of Beloit and went to work for a negro by the name of Robert Scott. The two negroes had a falling out and Flannigan claims Scott tried to rob him and would not let him have his property. Scott claims that Flannigan just refused to work and that he told him to come and get his things Any way a few days ago Elan nigan took his shotgun and a number of shells and went to Scotts house. The latter stepped out of the door and fired a shotgun twice in the expectation of seeing the 'IlBntnlnS CalculalOr tdhe lO HIS heels. Scott was not as good a calculator as Flannigan, for the latter stepped back and pumped the contents of about ten shells into the side of the house.
 Upon Flannigan making his bond be- fore Justice Lloyd he went before Justice Gayle and swore out a warrant against Scott The latter waived examination.
