The Lake Crystal Gun club did not
make a very good showing in the
contest with the Mankato Gun club
yesterday afternoon, getting a total of
only l65 scores to 230 for the Man
kato club. Each club had twelve men
in the contest, and each man shot
at twenty five birds.
The Lake Crystal men were not used
to a trap that threw the birds so
swiftly, while the Mankato boys were
used to- shooting at them going more
swiftly The Lake Crystal club was
entertained at supper at Ben Williams
restaurant by the local club. The visi-
tors said that they would have to
practice up little before inviting the
Mankato men to 60 to Lake Crystal
for Il shoot.

James Morris, who is engaged in
battling hay mile from Judson sta
ton, yesterday sent his aemploye, Frank
Willoughby, to the station to get some
gasoline. Willoughby went on horse
back, and after several hours, when
he did not appear, Mr.. Morris became
worried about his horse and called
UP the station. He learned from the
storekeeper that Willoughby had been
there and ordered the gasoline deliv-
cred. as he said that he was not going
back to Morris.
Mr. Morris notified Sheriff Donahue
and a: search for Willoughby was be-
gun, but without success. He had not
been to his home, and no one had
seen either him or the. horse.
This morning Sheriff Donahue re-
ceived telephone message from Mr.
Morris. saying that the horse had ar
rivel home at six o'clock this morn
ing. This will probably end the mat
ter. 4t fah f#f s

The Automobile club held well at
tended meeting last evening, and took
in half dozen new members. The road
committee was Empowered to help fix
the roads in several directions from
the city. These roads will include a
seven mile loop north of the city in
the Minnesota valley, around by Henry
Heinzeman's 4 place, the Eagle Lake
road to Madison Lake, the Lake Wash
ington road and the st. Peter road.
The club will do what it can, but
the outlook for very much being done
is not good, for the county and the
various townships are well tied up
with bridges and culyerts to be re-
newed or repaired. 3.'
Nearly all of the roads in the coun-
try have been left in bad shape by
the almost unprecedented storms, and
the work of years has been undone.

2 Mrs. Chichester was attacked by a
COW last evening in North Mankatp
and roughly treated, and might have
been killed had it not been for the
timely arrival in a buggy of two gen.
tlemen who are convassing for the sale
of law books. The COW was picketed
in the street, and was standing near
the sidewalk when Mrs. Chichester
started to pass by on the walk.
The COW attacked Mrs. Chichester
fiercely, without any reason, threw her
down, and was continuing her attacks
when the gentlemen drove up and
stopped and beat the Infatuated COW
off from her victim. Mrs. Chichester was
badly used up, both from her in
juries and from fright. -
People having cows with vicious tend
encies should not tether them where
they can attack people on the public
street. Streets are for the use OF
people and not pastures for cattle.

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Tone Irregular, Laid Ao Action oI
 Democratic Convention.

New York, July 10.--The tone of the stock market was irregular again today and the professional traders were good deal confused by the obstacles they encountered in the movement of prices in both directions. The start was lower than last night, the disposi- ton being, apparently, to take profits on the action of the democratic nation al convention. There had been buying stocks recently on the assumption that with the uncertainty over the two can ddates definitely removed there would be some outside demand for stocks aroused, At the lower level induced by this realizing an aggressive demand developed and prices advanced vigor- ously. This movement had not pro- ceeded far when stocks began to be of- fered in a volume and with a persist ence that argued some large participa- ton in the market on that side. Sell ing orders in several separate stocks came from an individual source in D., coo to 10000 share portions and this led to supposition that plunging opera tions were being renewed on the part of a recent spectacular performer in tho market. Some of the stocks which have figured most prominently in this weeks rise were affected by an exhaus- tion of demand at the higher prices to which they have been carried and the prices gave way easily before realz- ing sales This was particularly true of American Smelling Amalgamated Copper and two Hill railroads stocks
 which were strong yesterday and U. $. Steel pfd., which rose buoyantly on a previous day The sentimental effect of theee weak points was considerable and there was no such conspicuous point of strength to offset 1t as during other periods of realizing during the
 week. The general list, therefore, showed more sympathy with this weak mess than yesterday There was a sud-
 den drop in the rate of activity of the market during the midday period af- ter a first hours business larger than for any day of the week
 New factors were not important. The Iappearance of support in the market
 disappeared Il the late dealings and
 the closing tone was distinctly weak. Bonds were irregular. Total sales par
 value s2, 415oOO.
 U. $, Bonds were unchanged on call.

Plant at Denver is Demonstrate
ing Efficiency Of Western
Black Diamonds.
MAJORITY PRODUCE COKE
Idea Formerly Held That West Could
Not Compete With East Now
Being Dispcllcd.

Washington, July 20-The fuel-test-
ing plant of the United States geologi-
cal survey, Mt Denever, Colo, one of the
factors In the conservation of the coal
supply of the country. VIII resume OPP
erations the latter part of July AT
this plant the government Is endeavor-
Ing to obtain greater efficiency from
the Goals of the Rocky Mountain fields
by washing and coking them. Many
of the Goals of the west contain such
quantities of impurties-ash and sui
phur--that they are not of much value
for commercial use 1t has been the
governments purpose to wash the i'm
purities out of these Goals SO that they
can be utilized. The success already
obtained warrants a continuation of
this work. During the last fiscal year,
30 tests of Goals were made at the Den
yer plant. resulting in many of them
being decidedly improved.
PRODUCE MUCH COKE.
OF 81 western Goals tested, at the
Denver plant. all but three produced
good coke though number of them
were considered as on-coking. The
Importance of this is seen when the
immensely of the smelling business of
the west is realized and the there
fore enormous demond for good coke.
Several of these Goals without washing
have failed to make coke fit for metal
lurgical purposes owing to the large
amount of sulphur in them Other Goals
would not even make steam without
the washing process.
1t is likely that the final results of
these tests will add millions of dol
lars to the fuel values of the west. Il
has already been shown that a number
of Goals that in the past have not
been mined because Of their impurities,
can now be profitably utilized. This
will extend the life of the fuel supply
and make possible vast Industrial en-
terprises in the west that would not
locate there had the government not
taken this step.
HAS BEEN HANDICAP.
The lack of knowledge of the nature
of the Goals of the west has been
its chief handicap to commercial de-
velopment. With the finest supply of
bituminous and anthracite coal in the
world located in the eastern part of
the country. 1t has been felt that the
west, in some instances could not COM
pete IN manufacturing. The results
shown by the government have done
much to dispel this idea and the west
has been going forward at u rapid
rate. Still further developments are
expected upon the completion of the
tests this year. The Denver plant is in
charge of A. w. Belden, assisted by
q. r.. pelamater a bulletin will soon
be issued by the geological survey on
the work already accomplished at this
plant.

THE poCnE GATOR.

The Smithsonian Institution has lust
issued an account of a series of obser-
vations OF the American alligator con-
Quoted under its supervision by Prot.
Albert NJ. Reese. The observations were
made in the Everglades, the smaller
swampe and lakes of Central Florida
and the Okefenoke swamps in lower
Georgia
Prof Reese indicates that In spite
or its hoarse below and the legends
of its RIGHTEOUSNESS handed down nv
the American negroes of long ago. the
alligator Is really docile animal. In
fact, II is said that In some southern
seacoast towns gators have been do
mesticated
II has been popular belief that pick
aninny meat Is the favorite diet OF the
alligator, but that is not true, for n
little negro boy can chase a gator
anywhere. When gator stretched out
on a log summing itself sees. out of one
eye that 1t keeps open even while
asleep, the approach of a little negro
with stick, II takes a dive and stays
under water until the shadow passes.
The American alligator Is pronounced
to be not as bad as Il has been made out
to be in story books, but in fact a
meek and lowly freak of the water and
marshy places. 1t Is gradually becom-
Ing extinct disappearing before the on
ward march of civilization. and es-
pecially because of the hunt for its hide
for leather.
Prof. Reese was aided In his hunt for
alligator eggs by u Miami half breed
down In Florida. who is known as the
Gator Swamp merchant and is called
Alligator Bill. 1t Is said that when
Bin is through coddling a gator the
animal VIII follow him around like a
dog.--Ney York Sun
