FLUCTUATIONS IN
PRICES 4 PUZZLE
Pressure To Sell Much Less
Pronounced Than On
Day Before,

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-Constant
'fuctuation of prices in today's stock
market made puzzling the discern of
the prevailing tone of speculation.
The pressure to sell was much less
pronounced than late yesterday. On
occasional declines there developed
Sufficient demand to check the ten
dency to rally prices. There was sell.
ing here of stocks for foreign account
in spite OF easier tone in the London
discount market. There was a lull
in the iron trade. Copper sold at a
lower price, and silver dropped in adj
lditional consideration of bearing the
metal mining stocks. Steel sold be
low 81 for the first time since the

name for the Newark baseball team,

name has a great deal of meaning,
such as firmness. endurance and also
that they will never give up. A great
deal of history is also connected with
this word. it being the name of that
famous army that fought under Crom-
well during the English Civil War, and
also the name of the American frigate
Constitution (Old Ironsides), which
fought SO many battles during the
War of 1872. Hence | suggest Iron

 The directors, S. G. Smith A. J. Moss and A. J. Stevens, will advertise for bids at once and the contract for the new levee will probably be let imme- diately after the closing of bids, on December 2I.
 An application will probably be made to the next legislature for an act empowering the dis trict to issue bonds for the work.

New Prosecuting Attorney Achieves Great

Returning home yesterday from the second term of court since he assumed the office of prosecuting attorney, George w. Clark is the possessor of a record which has probably never been equaled Ill the courts of his district. In the term of court just closed at Claren. don MT. Clark secured six con victions without an aCquittal of fel- ony cases, and 29 convictions in misdemeanor cases, with only one acquittal. Two of the felony cases were compromise pleas of gully and the others jury trials.
 At his first court at Dewitt a few weeks ago, MT. Clark won all ol the cases for the state except one, securing about fifteen convictions of which six were for felonies.
 Fifty-nine indictments were re- turned by the Monroe county grand jury and forty eight by the grand jury in session at Dewitt.

TO
 HANG HIMSELF

J. w. Cartwright, held on a charge of murder in the first de- gree, made an unsuccessful at tempt to hang himself in the county jail here last night about 9 o'clock. Cartwright made a moose out of some straps from his bedding and his suspenders. The straps were attached to the bars of his cell, and his struggles while dangling from the impro- vised moose awakened the other inmates of the jail, who aroused Jailer Jo Harrison. The sus- penders broke, however, before MT. Harrison reached Cartwright, and he was little injured by his attempt at self-destruction.
 This is the second time Cart wright has tried to end his life. With broken bottle he tried last Saturday to cut his throat, but was restrained before he had injured himself to any great extent.
 Cartwright was indicted at special term of the Faulkner circuit court last September for the murder of his wife at their 
 home near Wooster few weeks before. His defense will un- doubtedly be insanity, and whether his mental condition is genuine or feigned is question upon which opinion is divided.

munity would be the natural out come.
 Have the People Been Burdened?

Have the People Been Burdened? We we're solicitous about these things in the beginning. But whatever our anxieties may have been in the beginning, the fact in the case is that up to the present the community has not burdened itself with the church enterprise. Of course the Baptist people, as a rule, have gone their limit, but they are comparatively a small part of the community. And right alongside of these have stood some eighteen or twenty friends who have spoken words of encourage ment and have given cheerfully; but the number has been small so far. l have no word of censu1e whatever for my friends who have not contributed. They are better judges of what they ought to do than I, but I would have it very clearly understood that the con- munity has not been hurt financi- ally. If, therefore, any calls are made upon our citizens within the next several years for factories, waterworks, new schools, new churches and the like, there will be small foundation for anyone s assertion that the community in general burdened itself this year with new church building.
 A Word of Appreciation.
 A day like yesterday brings out the best in men. Who could ever forget the words of some who spoke of their present burdens, expressed regrets that their subscriptions could not be larger, then put down the amounts they felt able to give, and sent the committees away with smiles and words of encourage ment? I discovered number of noble souls when took list last year and solicited for the State Normal I discovered others yes terday, and I hope to make the ac quaintance of yet others. This letter is heart message to the public, and the editor is pre-empt ed from interfering with the follow ing sentence: We have in the young editor of our daily paper a citizen of whom Conway should be, and is proud; for he is far sighted, fair minded, progressive in promoting all movements for which our good people should stand, whether State Normals, gubernatorial campaigns, church canvasses, or business expansions.
 As to the Future.
 Hereafter, as we'll as heretofore, we will not attempt to constrain anyone to give. The Scriptures teach, and we believe, that gifts to religious objects should be made cheerfully. As soon as the sub scriptions are large enough we will, if the project can be financed satisfactorily, take steps toward the erection of the house. We want it to be a structure that will be an honor to Conway. It will be To- cated on Robinson avenue, on what is known as the "Weinmann property, just west of MT. J. M. Lipon's. It is as vet a temple in :he air, but we hope to make it touch earth within year.
 This morning, with smile for everyone, whether a subscriber or not, I can say, "I am a citizen of no mean city,"
 Sincerely,
