THE MARKET CONTEST
Some days ago, The Goldfeld News announced a Market Contet
which vas based upon the theory that, upon the settlement of the local
labor dimculties stocks would make a substantial gain, and that a contest
such as W inaugurated, would only lend zet to a rising market. But dis
appointment in the upward movement in stocks has resulted, n conse-
quently, such a contest as the News had started, cannot be carried out to
a successful end. It will therefore be necessary 20 suspend the Contest
for time being, but it IA be promised with the utmost assurance, that the
Contest will be resumed as on as the market shows a decidedt tendency
to advance, which will be not later than the early fall.
The present state of the market cannot be attributed to local condi-
lions The physical condition Of the camp and individual mines as never
better. The physical investors n Goldfeld have beer the heaviest buyers
Of stocks, n the belief that the bottom had been reached; but as they
have n o control rel outside conditions, they have suffered disappotnt-
ment with the rest. aold6eld is suffering only in sympathy with San
francisco and the East. Railroad and industrial securities In the great
stock centersh have declined OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES in fact than in Ne
vada mining shares, and it only argues the inherent strength Of mining
shares that there as not ben q complete collapse. The Market Contest
will positively be resumed when market conditions are more conducive
to the success of the plan adopted.

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, Feb. 19.-Despite a firm
er tone in the London market for
American securities, the local market
opened weak and feverish with a dis
position to sell stocks by the larger
professional operators.
The Hartman shares, both Union
and Southern Pacific were probably
the weakest of any OF the active spec
ialties. The forthcoming investigation
by the Interstate Commerce commis-
sion is assigned for the weakness in
these two properties Liquidation has
been on a large scale ana the selling
has been ascribed to traders very close
to the inside interests. Union Pacihc
lost almost four points while Southern
Pacific declined one and one-half.
one of the bearish features which
Is giving considerable attention az
present is the dispositions on the part
Of the legislatures in almost every
state in the union to reduce the rail-
way rates. This will undoubtedly
cause the reduction OF dividends of a
great many of the railroads. Some Of
the higher priced shares are not earn
ing very much over their fixed charges
at the present rates in vogue. A re-
ductton of one or two cents in the
passenger rate means a great deal to
these corporations.
The market all during the session
had a ragged. feverish and weak un-
dertone. St. Paul Copper, Atchison,
Smelters Peoples Gas. Colorado Fuel
and in fact every active stock on the
list showed declines ranging from one
point in the higher priced shares to a
half point decline in the minor ones.
Liquidation and persistent selling
continues unabated in all Of the Cop
per stocks listed on the New York
exchange. The selling has been much
more influential than the buying.
The market on the whole closed
with a little rally caused principally
by shorts covering. 1t was, however,
very feeble one and indications point
to further liquidation tomorrow.

Webster Meets His Tenant.

Daniel Webster once became the
owner of some land in New Hamp-
shire, with buildings thereon. He left
the tenant, who was there when the
premises were conveyed to him in
possession. One summer, a few years
later, as he and his wife were Journey
ing in the vicinity of the farm he de-
cided to take a look at it. He found
an aged woman in charge. She said
in reply to questions, that the place
belonged to a lawyer down in Boston
named Webster.
What rent do you pay?" asked the
amused owner.
Remit" she exclaimed 'T don't pay
any rent. It's bad enough to live here
without having to pay for it, and if
he don't fix up the house pretty soon
I'll leave. anyhow. Wonder if he ex-
poets I'm going to freeze to death this
cold weather"
We'll" remarked the proprietor. at
is a pretty hard case, but if you'll ac-
cept this SIS bill toward holding on an
other year, Iii try to see Mr.. Webster
and have something done about it."
With which final remark he took
final leave of his farm.

Fulfill Their Pledges ?

Hon. j. J. McEvoy. representative in
the general assembly from Grant coun-
". is quoted as saying: 7 tell you
that it would be good thing for the
people Of Indiana If when Adjournment
is taken by the legislature In little
more than two weeks from now It
would not convene again for ten years"
a good thing for whom? In the pres
ent trend Of affairs practically all Of
the legislation proposed and seriously
considered IS for the regulation OF cor
porations at points where they in
fringe upon private right. There never
has been time when there was so
much sentiment, operative through leg
lslators, for the correction Of abuses
that have long existed. Mr.. McEvoy
is not alone in the wish that the
legislature should adjourn for ten
years. But there are many people who
not only do not wish for ten years Of
this sort of stand-pattism but who hope
that the governor Will call the general
assembly IN extra session if it comes
no nearer fulfilling the pledges cf both
parties to the people Of Indiana than
now seems probable.-Marion Chron-
tcle.

THE ANIMUS IN THE CASE.

Without wishing to detract in any
sense from the horror OF the Iroquois
tragedy in which so many persons
met death in it's most agonizing form,
and without belittHng tho responsible
lity of anyone who may have been
responsible for the holocaust, it is no
more than fair that the anlmua of the
case against Will J. Davis, which
was called in tho circuit court at DAN
vile yesterday be given a fair anal
gsis.
1t IS palpabIy a case Of persecu-
tion on the part of the Hearst news
papers, that no one who is conversant
with the relations of these pestiferous
sheets and Will ]. Davis, can for a
moment fail to see the form Of William
Randolph Hearst looming in the back
ground.
The facts in the case as understood
by those who have the opportunity to
know, are these. A few years ago
some five or six, perhaps,-there was a
play presented in the Illinois theatre
which offended the fine moral sense Of
the editor Of tho Chicago American
He crusaded against the play and Incl
dentally the theatre to such an extent
that Mr.. Davis withdrew his advertis-
ing from the paper and announced
thereafter IN tho pages OF the Illinois
theatre programs that the Illinois did
not advertise in the Chicago American.
When word to this effect reached the
knowledge Of the publisher, IN New
York, the latter lost no time in wire
ing back the message. Close the IlH-
nois Theatre" Hearst and his hench-
men have never succeeded in closing
the theatre, but their opportunity to
get even. arrived when the roquois
theatre in which Will J. Davis had
large interests. was burned.
Had it not been for the persecution
of the American and Examiner, there
is no doubt that the case against VIII
Davis, would have been dismissed at
the same time those against the other
parties who We're at first regarded as
technically if not morally responsible
for the fire. were abandoned.
Everybody against whom indictments
We're sought and obtained, went free,
from Mayor Harrison to the police
officers who were on watch when the
fire broke out.
a. matter of fact Will Davis was
about as much to blame for the Iro-
quois theatre holocaust as Noah was
to blame for the flood.

CAUSE OF CERTAIN DREAMS.
Each Type Has Its Origin In Matter:
Purely Physical.

Every dream, like every laugh or
tear, has its cause" said the psychol-
ogist. Every well-known type Of
dream has a cause equally we'll known.
You dream, for instance, that you
are in church. or at the theater, or on
the street, with hardly any clothes
on you, and you nearly die of shame.
The bed coverings falling off is the
cause of this dream.
You dream that dog has bitten
you or an enemy has given you a
stab with a knife. Some slight pain
cramp, a touch of rheumatism-is
behind all such dreams.
Innumerable persons dream of fly
ing. Time and time again they dream
this dream. 1t is because the respira-
tion of sleep. the great deep, billowy
breaths. rising and falling rhythmic
ally. are so akin to flying that they
bring visions of it to the sleeper's
mind.
An uncomfortable position in the
bed causes dreams of painful effort. of
unendurably hard work, like mountain
climbing or the lifting of heavy
weights.
Il say nothing of the mental causes
Of dreams, since We all know well
enough that the things we talk or
think about awake are apt to be talked
and thought about that night in
sleep"

A Marrow Escape.

one Of the most miraculous escapes
in the history of our town was that of
James Hayes, agent for the United
States Express company. yesterday af-
ternoon. He was coming up from The
b. g. o. depot and had his wagon filled
with new furniture for the Eagles
nest. When he reached the Lake Shore
tracks at the Front street crossing
the gates were down to allow a west
bound suburban passenger train to
pass. The gateman, who is up in a
tower, did not notice the Eighteen Hour
Limited, which was going east, rap
idly approaching when the gates were
raised. Mr.. Hayes started to cross.
but just as he was in the center his
horses We're struck by the flyer and
every bone in their bodies was broken.
and spectators say they were thrown
higher than the stack Of the engine.
Mr.. Hayes was thrown several feet
and the wagon was badly smashed and
furniture strewn in all directions Mr..
Hayes was picked up and his hand
seemed TO be the only place where
he was injured at that time, so he
went to the doctors and had this dress
ed and then was able to walk TO his
home in Lincoln avenue, Robertsdale.
In response to inquiries by a TINES
correspondent last night, Mrs Hayes
said he was feeling much worse than
he did after the accident and although
there are no bones broken 1t is feared
that he might be injured internally.
The horses We're buried by the Lake
Shore section men between the tracks
This crossing is known to be a very
dangerous place, and 1t is one at which
the council ordered the companies to
slacken their speed several months ago.

haps it will be lesson for the other
companies whose tracks pass through
