AMMONIA HOLDS BOY
PRISONER IN CELLAR

Abilene, Nov. 12-An accidentoccurred
in the Rabe meat market which might
easily have resulted in loss of life. A
belt on the machinery broke and this
in turn severed an ammonia pipe.
The ammonia, escaping from the
pipe, drove everybody out of the build
ing who could get out. But down cell
lar was Lloyd Reese. He could not get
out the doorway as the ammonia was
streaming into the cellar from that
direction. He vas practically impris-
Oned.
He went to the front end of the build
ing to get away from the ammonia as
far as he could. Then he remembered
the iron grating in the sidewalk and
up this he climbed. BY sticking his
nose up through this he was able 70
get sCrae fresh air while he called for
help.
The grating was pried out and Reese
pulled up through the walk. The boy
was rushed to a physician who treated
him. No serious results are anticipated
although his throat was badly burned

The impression is growing among

that it is an~t9g0nistic to the progressive
spirit of the age, and that until it is
repealed serious disturbances in COM

New York, Nov. n.-Bradstreet says,
Good progress has been made in accom-
rsodating the country to the changed H.
nancial conditions; this, too, with strik-
ingly little friction, considering the scar
city of currency and widespread substitu-
ton of credit for actual cash.
AT the same time wholesale and jobbing
trade has quoted down very perceptibly
and the disposition in industrial lines has
been to curtail production wherever pos
sible. and aim being to avoid unnecessary
or possibly burdensome Accommodations Of
stock.
There is, in fact, a rattle more opti-
mistic opinion prevailing this week than
last, the outgrowth of the better feeling
at the east, the large arrivals of gold from
Europe and the idea that conditions, both
as regards the purchasing power of the
people and the absence of large strikes are
better than in some preceding years of
stress. There are. it is true, increasing
evidences tina the level of commodity
prices has been forced un~reasonably high
and that the process Of r~eadjusting will
compel numerous revfsions. In this re-
spect the easing of iron and other metal
prices, the further decline in cereals and
the sharp falling off In live stock quota
tons are taken as an earnest of revision
in other lines yet to come.
From two sections, the northwest and
the south. complaints are numerous that
the absence of actual cash prevents the
movement of wheat and cotton to market,
but the countrywide issuance of bank and
corporation checks in small denominations
has eased the currency situation greatly.

United States and Canada for the week
