NAMING A TOWN.

How Abilene Came to BE Selected by
gss Mrs. Hersey. Is
@ Abilene was named BY the wife Of
the founder OF the town, T. F. Jersey.
With her husband she had come, to
central Kansas in the spring Of 1857.
They lived in a log house on the west
side Of Mud creek and were the first
settlers on the town site, although no
town then existed nor was there one
until 1860 Then G. 81. Thompson, who
had moved to the county from Leaven-
worth, bought from the Kansas Pa
cifc Railway company tract east Of
Jerseys and laid out q town. h ;s s.55
When It came to the naming of the
future city Mr.. Thompson went to
Hersey and asked him to suggest a
name.
mo" was the reply, let my wife
do 1t. She is ii great reader 5sz
Mrs. Hersey was q graduate OF a
seminary Ia the east, and her little
library, which she carried with her In
her wanderings, was one Of the ties
that bound her to the girlhood life. She
was devout Methodist and knew her
Bible from .scover to cover When
she was asked to name the town she
turned to the New Testament for sug-
gestion. There, in the third chapter of
Luke, first verse, she found this: Now
In the fifteenth year of the reign OF
Tiberius Caesar, Pontius PLATE being
governor of Judaea = = and Lysanias
the tetrarch Of Abilene !" Il IA
sCall the town Abilene 2 said she.
1T means City Of the Plains, and that
exactly describes the location #
So Abilene 1t was, and in the fight
for the county seat, wherein it contest
ed with Newport, Smoky Hill and IN
ion City, all long since passed away,
good fortune attended it, and the new
town became the county capital for
the 37s jewellers then in Dickinson
county Kansas City Star. # II 5.5 II. 81

Th,. pepper vine.

The pepper vine grows best in 4
wooded valley where there is plenty OF
nj sture and abundant foliage TO pro-
tect it from the heat Of the sun. It is
given rude sort of cultivation. The
growers plant 1t, keeping the grass
from its roots. and when the tree near
which 1T Is planted has no lower
branches strings or poles are placed In
proper position to enable the vine to
climb the tree. 1t needs no further at.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The cause of the lack of activity In the
stock market, whether the local securities
are considered as coming within that term
or the wider one Of Wall street. Is still re-
garded due to the great and general
prosperity which prevails in this country
There is undoubtedly an easier money mar
ket. as the lower rates of interest indicate.
but it seems that does not make money
plentiful for the use of those who wish to
operate in the stock market
The demands for money in other fields OF
activity have the effect Of lessening the sup
ply that is available for the use OF nose
interested in the buying and selling OF Sc
| curities, and 1t Is thus explained why 1t Is
that the movement in the stock market
does not reflect more faithfully the change
in the money rate that has taken place dur
ing the past week or SO.
There has been no increase In the volume
OF business done on the local exchange since
the opening of the year and apparently
there is no prospect Of anything Of the sort
in the near future. Certainly those who
have control of large amounts OF money, as
the heads Of financial institutions. do not
hold out any sanguine hopes OF improvement
in the immediate future. The general idea
seems to be on the part OF such authorities
that money IS going to continue TO De
tight. Those that have pubic money On de-
post allege also as a reason for caution In
making new commitments the probability
Of calls on the part of the treasury for the
funds which have been from time to time
placed with the banks.
At the same time there Is q belief that II
a statement was made at this time of the
resources of the institutions In this city
that 1t would show a larger amount OF
money on deposit then was on hand at the
last statement made month or so ago.
Certainly there are not the inducements In
the form Of high interest rates at such
center New York to attract money and
that fact would seem to indicate a liberal
supply for local use.
The trading at today's meeting Of the
stock exchange did not show much change
in the conditions of the past week. Gas
stock and the common stock OF the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company made
up the bulk of the trading and in both
cases the range was only fractionally lower
than that of yesterday.
The rest of the list was neglected.
The directors Of the Columbia National
Bank this afternoon organized for the en-
suing year by re-electing the officers as fol-

dent, Charles P. Bailey, and cashier, Clar-

EpecIal Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK. January 15.-For a few
minutes near the opening of business to-
days stock market showed renewal of
the very unsettled tone which prevailed
at the close Of business yesterday. With
in a short time however. it became evil
dent that the pressure upon the market
of one sort or another was by no means as
general or as urgent as 1t appeared 10 De
yesterday afternoon, and consequently the
larger floor traders elected to cover their
short contracts and to adopt for the time
being the long side of the speculative &C
count.
1t was largely In consequence OF their
purchases that there ensued fairly gen.
eral although rather jerky rally in prices,
and throughout the business session the
dealings were characterized by unusual r.
regularity. The business of the rank ana
file of commission houses was upon noth-
ing beyond a nominal scale.
American stocks showed decided weak
ness in the early part of the session on me

course of the day, and previous to the open,

Old Influences In Evidence.
At the opening of the market the same in
fuenCeS which were Slfnlldrly elleCtiNc SOS-
terday were cited as accounting for the re-
newed depression in prices, namely. the con-
tinuous increases in the captalizations or
various railway companies. and the appre-
hension that in the event that there shouio
be any disappointment with regard to the
dividends on Amalgamated Copper and
United States Steel common. more or less
serious market unsettlement might ensue.
There was nothing any more authentic
upon which to base forecasts Of these dlvi-
bends today than there has been previously.
but United States Steel common rallied
quite extensively from its first hgures; ana
while AmalgamateS Copper at all times
moved irregularly, tie stock at any rate
showed more rallying power than 1t did
yesterday. So far as the new capital issues,
which have been matters of recent rumors,
were concerned. definite announcement was
made In the afternoon of an increase In the
common stock of the Chicago and North
western Company by $25OOO.OOO. Chicago
and Northwestern suffered another severe
decline during the first hour Of business,
