MAY Affect Freight Crews.

There is the probability that the
freight crews on the Laramie-Rawlins
district will be affected like the pas,
senger crews when the s~ixteen-hour
law goes into effect March s. At pres.
n crews going from here to Rawlins
in about nine hours return after three
or four hours rest and do it willingly.
Under the new federal law they would
have but seven hours for the return
trip and will be compelled to lay over
at Rawlins longer than they would
otherwise. In the summer time,' said
enc of them this morning, I'VE wouli
prefer returning to Laramie, particu
larly by daylight, as often We cannot
sleep and would rather come home ana
Sleep at night. The new rule will com
pei us to stay in Rawlins. We shall
petition the president to so change the
rule that, if we are compelled to spend
the warmest part of the day in Raw,
Inns, that We may be chloroformed SO
we can sleep"

General Manager Takes Hand.

Orders that will tend to put out OF
business the Shylocks that have been
preying upon employees of the Union
Pacific have been issued by General
Manager Mohler. The practice of Dor
rowing money, usually at high rates
of interest, has grown to such an ex
tent in the headquarters at Omaha
that some of the clerks had themselves
begun loaning to their fellow employees
and some had built up a lucrative bus
mess. General Manager Mohler has
issued formal orders that all these
practices must be stopped and init
mates that dismissal from the service
of the road will be the pentlay for dis
obedience.

u. S. CUSTOMS OFFICER
In SERIOUS TROUBLE

Special to The Republican:
There landed at the New York port
the other day an emigrant who was
unable to speak a word of English.
The custom officer in charge called in
all of his interpreters, but none of
them were able to make either head
or tail of the mans nationality or the
language he spoke, although his dress
proclaimed him to be from the land of
pyramids. Finally the custom officer
in charge produced a pencil and paper
and motioned this strange foreigner to
write something.
The emigrant at once grasped the
idea and also the pencil and wrote a
queer lot of hieroglyphics that resem-
tezuma writings and the pricemark
(cost) on a pair of false teeth at
Roots secondhand store.
The strange writing was immediate
lly sent to the Smithsonian institute at
Washington, but was Don returned,
the learned professors there being I'M
able to translate it. They, however,
advised the custom officers to send it
to a certain Frenchman student at the
Colorado university.
The curious writings were at once
sent to the student, who returned
them today, explaining that they were
written in a now extinct language, that
was spoken at Tie Siding in the early
days, with the English translation,
which read as follows: MEET ME
AT THE CRYSTAL, ALWAYS A
GOOD SHOW"

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Digestion of Prices Causes Unsettled
 Tone and Irregular Movement.

New York, July 16 The movement to
 take profits in stocks which developed
 yesterday was extended for time in
 today's stock market This process of
 digestion of profits caused an irregular
 price movement and unsettled the tone
 to a degree. The chief market was not
 essentially congested in spite of the
 moderate shrinkage in it's dimensions
 and the shifting of speculative atten-
 tion, to a new point in the list The
 industrial stocks and specalties, some
 Of lower grade, received the greatest
 share of the days new buying orders,
 while issues which have figured hlth- erto in the strength of the market were
 new factors were introduced into tho situation The publication by the bu-
 reau of statistics of the country's for cign trade report for June and for the completed fiscal year offered a striking exhibit, although it's main features have been foreseen from the preceding trend of events. It became manifest carly in the financial storm of last Oc- tober that the resulting shrlnkage in the export trade was being outstripped by the curtailment of imports so that the excess value of exports from month to month was greater than in the cor responding period of the year before. For the completed year they trade bal ance in our favor has reached $666, 457,- 10S, which Is $260, ,027450 greater than in tht preceding year and esta bllshes record for that item. The shrinkage In the twelve months of $240079,43 in value of our imports points clearly to the prime cause of this showing and trade was light on the comparative of the reHux gold move ment which has followed the $1O0, 0OO,- poo imports of that metal last fall Less than half of that amount has been re- shipped. The June figures show with | equal clearness that a shift has oc- cured in these tendencies Additional | .estimony to the readiustment to nor nal conditions Is received daily in the [ financial district, that in the form of . published interviews from prominent | capitalists and expressed in general
 erms receiving the greatest amount of attention That for today, coming from
 he executive head of the Amalgamated Copper Co.,, implied q rather striking exception In the case of that metal rom the cheerful views he expressed if conditions 0Eewhere, The effect was
 cen in the early reactionary tone in he copper group. The days changes !
