New York, Feb 6.-After the sharp
decline of prices last week the stock
market made brave attempt to rally
the early part of this week but the i'm
pr0vement could not be held and there
was another turn downward. Every
thing on, the list has shown more or
less weakness but it continues to be
especially notable that there is little
support for the so-called Morgan
stocks such as Erie and southern rail-
way. Even United States steel which
is classified with the Morgan group
was not improved by the remarkable
good statement of earnings and orders
on hand just issued. 1t is generally
held in the street that the steel cor
porations business is an accurate
barometer of general trade conditions
and that when there is good demand
for steel it may be accepted without
further discussion that the railroads
are doing we'll. Notwithstanding this
feeling, however, the steel state
ment was of little effect and prices
were not benefited in any substantial
way.
1t is true, there had been some pre-
dictions of 1 per cent quarterly divi-
dend at this time, as against the 1-2
of per cent rate voted last July and
last October This prediction did not
materialize yesterday. but few people
seriously imagined that it would. With

over any previous quarter, the COM

l can only reason and conclude. 1t
is said by those who are best qualified
to Judge that it will mean the aban-
donment of the passenger service on
many of the branch lines and the run
ming of mixed trains.. 1t is claimed
that legislation can be enacted which
will compel the roads to operate a
certain number of trains, but such
law would not be enforced by the
courts, if it could be shown that the
operation of the same in this manner
is done at loss. In fact it is one of
the principles established by the
courts that a legislative enactment
which attempts to compel a railroad
to operate at a loss is confiscation of
property and therefore unconstitu-
tional. If the two-cent passenger rate
bill becomes a law, the railroads will
either make fight against its consti-
tutionality and retain the service
which they now have on the branch
lines in this state, or they will reduce
this service by the installation Of mix
ed trains twice or three times a week
and permit the public to have the bene-
fits of the legislation which the pres
ent political conditions seem to de-
mand. Certain it is that the farmers
can hope for no reduction in freight
rates in which they are especially in
terested, either from the present house
or from the railroads as a result of
the action taken by the house on the
passenger rate bill.

But suppose for the sake of argument
that legislators and state officials can
be so bought. Is it not then true that
these men could be more easily bought

trusting to such eXpedients in behalf

is why the company is setting aside,

create the dividends upon the stock
of the company. The policy of the re-
fern element in the legislature seems
to be to still further reduce the in
come of the passenger department by
the enactment of a two-cent passenger
fare-a condition which will benefit
possibly enc farmer in a thousand in
the state to the extent of couple of
dollars per year-and leave the way
open fer the railroads to make up the
losses thus incurred in extra freight
charges which every producer of grain
and every buyer of merchandise must
pay.

ESfiARP UNEXPLAINED DECLINES
IN SOME RAIL way STOCKS

stock is selling about so points below
the high point reached on the big bull
movement, and apparently with little
buying power to Offset the selling Or
ders. What is true of Reading is
true in measure of the whole list.
The selling that is being done does not
appear to be forced liquidation, al
though, naturally there is some of
that. The pressure to sell, however,
whether forced or not is sufficiently
heavy to break down whatever buying
power may develop. 1t is not at all
clear where the mass of selling orders
comes from. Many of them are undoubt-
eddy speculative sales for the decline,
based On the usual theory that the
markets position could be under-'
mined. One influence favoring the de.
cline undoubtedly has been the mar
keting of the American shares thrown
overheard in London. But the pre-
cision with which the Simultaneous
starting of selling pressure is timed
throughout the market. and the obvi
Gus effort to reach the lowest prices
possible gives what Wall street calls
professional aspect to the market.
What the outlook is the street does
not seem to bother about just at the
moment The selling raids are
profitable to the traders and even the
rallies held them by making new high
levels for putting out short stock.
When the rally comes. however, an
extended short interest will have to
cover its lines.

TELLS YOU HOW.
directions TO Prepare Simple, Yet Re
markable. Home Mixture.

A well known authority on rheuma-
tism gives the following valuable, yet
simple and harmless prescription,
which any one can easily prepare at
home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; !;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in bottle, and
take a teaspoonful after each meal
and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip-
ton pharmacy at small cost, and, be-
ing of vegetable extraction, are harm
less to take.
This pleasant mixture, IL taken reg
ularly for few days, is said to over
come almost any case of rheumatism.
The pain, and swelling, II any, dimin-
ishes with each dose, until permanent
results are obtained, and without in
juring the stomach. While there are
many so-called rheumatism remedies,
patent medicines. ETC., some of which
do give relief. few really give perma-
nent results and the above will, no
doubt be greatly appreciated by many
sufferers here at this time.

That Pocatello is seriously abolish
ing all her saloons is shown by the
following from the Pocatello Tri-
bune, OF which L. Bush Livermore,
a Pendleton boy, is editor:
That the "Cltizens' party coun-
Gil has virtually decided to levy an
occupation tax and to refuse to re-
new the saloon licenses in force in
Pocatello, after their expiration on
November 80, was currently reported
on the streets yesterday, says the
Tribune.
1t became known that during last
week two caucuses Of Citizens "
party members of the council were
held, at which the rough draft of an
ordinance, levying an occupation tax,
was submitted to each member, and
one copy handed to the two republi-
can members of the council, who
were not invited to the caucus, for
their consideration. o.
At these caucuses the matter Of
closing all the saloons in Pocatello
was also discussed, the proposition,
1t is said, meeting with the approval
Of at least five of the members Of
the majority wing of the council. 1t
Is understood that the occupation tax
ordinance will be introduced at the
regular meeting of the council Thurs
day night Of this week. 1t Is said
to be the plan to pass the measure
under suspension Of the rules, max
ing the levy effective Immediately.
The tax as proposed will apply to
all business men in the city-store-
keepers, hotel and restaurant keep
ers, barbeds, bookkeepers, livery sta
BILE men, blacksmiths, newspapers,
drugstores, etc.
The various occupations will be
and each will be subject
to graded tax. 1t is estimated by
the majority wing OF the council that
this tax will provide the administra-
ton with sufficient revenue to carry
on the city government without the
necessity of Licensing saloons. These
places will therefore be closed up,
so it is said. What means will be
adopted to this end has not been def
initely announced.
1t is said. however, to be the plan
to refuse to renew the Is saloon IL
censes now in force in this city,
which expire November 80, the last
day of the present month.
The right of the council to refuse
to renew liquor licenses is being Sc
riously questioned. A suit against
the city, involving a question along
this line, is now pending in the su-
preme court. The district court of
this district held that the council had
no option in the matter, so long as
the APPLICANT for a license complied
with all the forms of law. other
district courts have held similarly.
The council finds its authority for
levying an occupation tax in the
state law creating cities of the sec-
ond class, passed in 1898.

LOVEJJoY ANNIVERSARY.
Seventieth Anniversary of Tragic
Death of Early Martyr to Abolition
Cause.

Death of Early Martyr to Abolition
Cause.
Alton, ILL.,, Nov. To-day was the
seventeen anniversary Of the tragic
death here of Elijah P. Lovejoy, one
of the earliest martyrs to the cause
of abolition. 1t was on November Z,
1887, that Lovejoy was killed by an
Alton mob that sacked his printing
office, and he was buried two days
later on the 35th anniversary of his
birth.
A young man of "a, Lovejoy had
come from his home in Maine to st.
Louis, where he established a school
and became an industrious contrib
utor to the press, acquiring some fame
as a forceful writer. But the people
Of st. Louis were in such violent op-
position to his views that in 1886
he came to Alton, which was to be
the scene of his death.
The citizens OF Alton did not take
any more kindly to his preachings
than the people of st. Louis. They
threatened him and when this was
without result they destroyed his
press. AS often as they wrecked it
he replaced it, until three presses
had been destroyed and a fourth or
dered.
The night after it was received a
mob attacked the building. Love-
Joy was there with some friends ready
for the conflict, and in the fight that
followed they defended themselves
bravely and succeeded in killing one
member of the mob. When the
crowd undertook to fire the building
Lovejoy was one of the three volun-
teers to make a sortie. AS soon as
he got OUTSIDE he was assailed with a
storm Of lead and fell dead with five
bullets in his body
