STOCK MARKET OPERATIONS

In the last half hour of business yesterday the
stock market, which up to that time had been
irregular and inclined TO reaction. suddenly be-
came strong, prices advancing rapidly on heavy
buving for the long account and covering of
shorts, and closing at about the best of the ses-
sion, with general net gains, many OF them nf
substantial size. The immediate incentive FOR
the upward movement was the news from wash
ineton that the directions of the President to
the Commissioner of Corporations covered only
the subject Of bucket shops and did not Involve
an investigation of the methods or conducting
The business OF stock exchanges, the inference
being drawn that no interference with stock
market speculation carried on through the
agency of reputable stock exchanges was con-

lion. Theodore AIvord, State Super
intendent of the Anti-Saloon League,
has been in this panhandle during the
past two weeks looking after the in
terests of the league and on Sunday
last delivered three lectures in this
city He spoke In the First Baptist
church in the morning, in Trinity M.
+. church at O'Clock and in the First
Nj. e. church at night.
Mr.. Alvord is man of learning and
ability and was at each of these meet
ings listened TO by large audiences
with much interest.
The afternoon meeting was especial
~ interesting as he spoke Oh the
question of Prohibition from the stand
point of lawyer and as he has for
years been practicing att orney OF
recognized ability he was able and
did give the best legal reasons iii the
world why the people have the
right to prohibit saloons and that too
without compeusa ton.
The advocates of the liquor traffic
have hereabouts been advancing the
argument that the people have no
tight to prohibit the tratlis and es.
pecialIy without paying The distillers
and saloon keepers for all damage to
their business.
Mr.. Alvord read decisions OF the Su-
preme Court of the United States
clearly sustaining his position and
which settles the question beyond con-
troversy.

trieal storm passed over this section on
wednesday and considerable damage
was done
The lightning struck the new barn
being erected by Mr.. q. w. Nanmetre
on his farm about mile and hall
southeast of this city and though the
building seems to have suffered no
material injury some of the workmen
were badly injured and two came very
near losing their lives.
1t seems that the men were standing
near the barn when the crash came.
The whole building appeared to be en-
shrouded in the flash and the men
were knocked down in an unc >nsclous
condition. Messrs. Charles Cushwa,
son of the late John S. Cushwa, and
Mr.. George Stevens were the most Sc.
riously effected, and the condition OF
Mr.. Cushwa was for some hours
thought to be hopeless. DR.. j. NJ. Sites
was hastily summoned aud did what
he could for the unfortunate men.
Stephens was soon brought around but
Gushwa was hauled home in an ans-
bulance in an unconscious CONDITION
and was little better until the next
day.
The weather during the past week
has been decidedly hot but the hot
spell was broken on Wednesday even
ing when the wind and rain storm
passed over.
The thermometer on Tuesday went
as high as 90 and on Wednesday
reached 100 in the shade. The storm on
Wednesday was the heaviest in this
section for years and much damage
was done by the lightning aud the
wind Besides the accident above men
toned the Lightning struck the home
of Mr.. Chas. v. Pownall on Winches.
ter Avenue, the home of Mr.. Allen
Cushwa near the base of North Noun
was struck about the chimney and
considerable damage was done but no
one was hurt.
The metal roof on the barn of Mr..
John Sperow on the wiiiiamsporl Pike
was blown of, the barn OF MIR. Walter
Riner, at Berkeley Station, was blown
entirely down, end the hay barn on
the farm of Mr.. Bud Kuipe near
Hainesville was blown down. The
wheat and hay were blown fiat to the
ground in many places. The rainfall
was very heavy and billy ground was
badly washed.
Later we hear that the barn on the
George Light farm was blown, that
the Kennedy mill was nearly wrecked
and that part of the walls of the new
church at BedIngton was blown down.
