The whole story of yesterdays mar ket is told in our New York telegraphic report. The advance was confined to a few stocks, mostly railroads and copper industrials, and the latter sold of be- fore the close, with few exceptions. one being Old Dominion, which closed strong at 5. There is likely to be some liquidation today and Monday, but we believe the best of the coppers can be bought now with safety and expectation of substantial rise within the next two weeks.

 PRESCOTT
FRANK SPENCE SAYS HE KILLED EDGAR SULLIVAN TO SAVE
 HIS OWN LIFE

PRESCOTT, October 30.-Frank Spence, notorious for several killing af. fairs, shot and killed Edgar Sullivan in hut on a small ranch six miles from this city. Spence, who came to Pres colt and surrendered to the sheriff, as- serts that Sullivan attacked him with butcher knife and he shot him in self defense.
 The evidence deduced from a visit to the scene of the tragedy leads the district attorney and coroner to believe that Spence shot Sullivan from behind as the victim was eating his monday meal.

II Didn't Come Natural.

about notorious New York capitalist.
"Well," said Mr.. Lawson. III have

but it doesn't come natural to him. He
reminds me of the Russian moujik.

anxious froWn on his face. A friend

".What is the matter, Piotr?'
"I am worried Piotr answered,

older, they'll stick him in the army.

smaller stations will be used where
additional help is needed to make
the three shifts
may attempt to reduce wages along
with the reduction in hours. The ques-
ton will be discussed at a meeting OF
railroad officials and operators in jan
uary. 1t is probable that much the
same difficulty will be met generally
when the federal law limiting the days
work Of a railway telegrapher to nine
hours goes into effect on March 1.
Altho the limit Is one more hour
than provided in the Wisconsin law,
the result will be the same, as the
twenty-four hours cannot be divided
equally by nine and there must be
three shifts. Some of the roads have
been hiring Students for several
months, and by keeping them in the
offices with trained operators, hope
to have them sufficiently proficient to
handle the work on the lighter shifts.
Others. however, expect to follow the
example of the Wisconsin roads and
abolish the service at the smaller
stations.
The elimination of the telegraph
service will not work hardship on
the roads where automatic signals
have been installed. as these can be
depended on to do the emergency work
of an operator. 1t is expected that
one good effect of the law will be
to stimulate the installation of these

Draw Ladies'.
(Harper's Weekly.)


A short while ago there was started
movement to have the kits of a
certain one of the British Highland"
regiments discarded in favor Of ordin-
airy trousers. 1t was observed that the
men would be discontinued at this
change, and the colonel gave orders
that census of the regiment be TAX
en- in order to ascertain the wishes OF
the men themselves. The colonel is the
descendant of a long line of Scotch
lairds and strives earnestly to uphold
the old traditions.
The sergeant who took the census OF
the regiment finally appeared with his
report.
"All the men with the exception OF
three, are in favor of the change, sir"
he said.
Indeed" the colonel said. '"rell me
the names of these three true clans
men. They shall be promoted"
The sergeant read from his list!
"They are sir,' he said, Patrick
Doolan, Hans Steinbrenner, and Moses
Ikenstein."
