NEW YORK. Aug. ll.-Stocks re
acted about one point In the early
trading in Wall-st.. today. The meta
shares were the chief sufferers under
leadership OF Shelters, which lost
nearly two points. Amalgamated
Copper followed closely with de
cline OF Ia points and Anaconda
was off IA. National Lead dropped
- points.
The reactionary tone of the metal
shares extended throughout the en-
tire list and with the exception or
Colorado Fuel and American Ice
which enjoyed advances OF one point
each, the whole list showed losses.
At the opening. room traders sold
heavily and worked for reaction.
AT the end OF the first half hour OF
trading Reading had declined Ia
points and Union Pacific "a; while
Southern Pacific was OF nearly one
point. The United States steel shares
showed a firm undertone. and were
only fractionally lower. The trac
ton shares were quiet and showed
no material changes except In BROOK
Ign Rapid Transit, which rose one
point.
In London, American stocks were
lower In the early trading. There
was considerable profit taking III
Canadian Pacific. Wheat was snght
ly higher in Chicago and Cotton was
"a tritie lower.

The cars met opposite the Shelby

car out of Piqua was speeding 10 reach

bound car from Sidney. due here at
6:18 O'Clock, but late. A misunder-
standing OF meeting orders, due TO the
fact that a seldom used country switch
was indicated as the meeting point
because of the southbound car being
overdue, is blames for the collision.
One Man Unhurt.
Both cars were made into kindling
wood. Only one man OF the 80
aboard the two cars escaped unhurt.

farmers and employees OF the county
infirmary to carry the injured to that
Institution, which soon was converted
into temporary hospital. Physicians
were hurried TO the scene from Piqua
and from Sidney In automobiles TO
care for the wounded. Ambulances
carried the dead into this city.

D. Urls RECEIPTS
SHOW SHR|NKAGE.

That the receipts Of the Detroit
United Railway on it's city lines are
falling OF this year is shown by the
tax statement filed, Tuesday. The
street railway company pays spe-
cifc percentage tax on the receipts
from its fve-cent lines and this is
less than for the corresponding por-
ton OF 1907.
This is interesting as showing con
dttion similar TO that in Cleveland
where Tom l.. Johnson complains that
hard times have cut down the car
rides and hurt his traction plan.
The payment made by the ID. l. X.
amounts TO $20.203.02 for the first six
months OF the year. Last year the
city got $20.769.07 for the same period.
Past experience has been that the
receipts increase from eight TO u
per cent per year.

tary dirigible balloon built for the
signal corps OF the army by Capt.
Thomas s. Baldwin will be accepted.
I'VE are going to buy Baldwin's ma
chine, because we need It," said Gen.
James Allen. chief signal officer, and
he indicated that failure to comply
with the speed requirements will not
prevent the purchase of the airship.
1t Is generally understood, therefore,
that the speed and endurance trials
will merely determine the price to
be paid for the dirigible.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER "a, lsOS
REPUBLICAN, COUNTY TICKET

That was a mighty good ticket
the Canyon county Republicans
nominated last week, and it will
undoubtedly receive the full par
ty vote, which insures its cleo
ton.
The platform adopted is fair to
middling. 1t could have been
strengthened by declaring for a
railroad commission law. If there
is another state in the Union that
allows a railroad corporation to
do as they please and the people be
id. we don't know where it is.
The taxation plank IS a good
one. The trouble with the present
system OF taxation in Idaho is that
the real settler is taxed to the limit
for every Improvement he puts on
his place, while the speculator who
holds raw land solely for its future
increase in value, is assessed at
the minimum; the business man
who erects buildings and stocks
them with goods must pay for
his enterprise, while the man
who hides his cash in the vaults
of the banks goes scot free. That
is what's the matter with the sys-
ten of taxation in Idaho.
The direct primary is endors.
ed, and the nominees for the leg.
islature are instructed to support
such a measure. No argument
is necessary 10 prove that such a
law is needed; simply, throw the|
calcium on the methods employed|
in nominating state ocffiers and|
the most skeptical will repent
and believe.
