DAYS DECLINES

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE trend OF
values was a gain toward a higher range
under mastery manipulation but the
market lacked the life, the resliency. the
snap that characterized # yesterday.
1t is a case Of too much advance and
the room traders themselves are hesitat-
ing on following it still further. a
healthy, liberal reaction is past due and
unless it comes trading is bound TO be
restricted. There is a general DISPOSE
ton 70 circulate better business stories
and the fact that the Homestead mills
of the United States Steel Corporation
are in fun blast once more. But back
of all industrial Improvement is the
light tonnage offered the railroads, as
evidenced by ,he big loss in gross re
Ceipts, and the natural disquieting in
tiuence of a Presidential election.
The rise Of p TO Is o. a point in some
of the leaders was extended a little
further and then there was something
OF reaction on very moderate scale,
with a little better tone lately, but the
market eased up in SO far as trading
was concerned.
Going into the cause for the rally IN
Stocks. for the big gains that have
been made, one fnds the Standard Oil
CROWD and T.. II. Hartman ct al. lined
up Tor higher prices and able to dc
what they Will. The question is viii
they hold and lift, or viii they dis
tribute and let down? If you can solve
this riddle. buy or sell stocks. If you
have faith follow the leader, If you
haven't wait for the reaction that must
come.
A big failure In Cleveland, one that
would have knocked the list of several
points had IL occurred in October, was
brushed aside as If II were a cooling
Zepher and not matter of financial
import. After the noon hour It was a
race for still higher figures than ever
and the splendid strength removed the
Nestige OF q doubt and started things
going again with a WhOOp.
Great is Hartman when Roosevelt
let's him alone, and the conference OF
the governors is all-suAicient to occupy
part of the Executives time
Great is Rockefeller and the STANDARD
Oil and the combination Is something
that works while you sleep.
Stocks were making good progress at
100 for higher prices. Northern Pa
clfic was points higher, Union Pacific
a point. and the list / TO points or all
the active leaders. The Steels were up
a point.
About 2:30 the market changed from
and the traileFs, the room traders and
the sitterk IN brokers' Offices started In
10 taking profits, the result being a
very serious setback TO the general
list, this being extended in some cases
10 actual declines as compared with
Wednesdays closing. but the leaders
stiu held a good part of their gains
and recovered slightly in the last Ten

PINS BY THE BILLIONS
Over 100000 Miles of Them
Made Here in 1905, Says
the Census Bureau

The census bureau issues a
statement to the effect that
80, 100000 gross of pins was
the output Of this country for
the year 1905. Nineteen bill
ion pins. 1t is not strange that
mankind has for many years
wondered where all the pins
go; for 10000 100000 pins is
surely a stock of pins, and
these figures are for the COM
mon everyday pin and do not
include some tons of hair pins,
safety pins nor the imported
article from other countries.
1t takes a mathematical
genius to even conceive 49,
0O0,00O,O0O pins; but one has
come to the front. He tells us
that if we assume that the
average length of pins is one
inch, it appears that in a single
year we produce 19,00O,000,OOO
inches of pins, 1,6oo,0oo,o0
feet of pins, 100000 miles of
pins, pins enough if laid end to
end to go around the world
thirteen times, pins enough to
make a hundred.strand cable
between New York and Liver
pool. But why pile it up? 1t
is enough to say that it is a
deuce of a lot of pins. And the
whole lot cost only about ST.
100000. For the benefit of
sticklers for exactness we will
say that the figures are 1872
632,232 gross, valued at 81, ,l29,
OO6, for the year 1905 alone.
We have to take the mayne-
matical genius at his own fig
ures. Il is all too lnutk for The

increasing interest in the crop
ana its growing Importance as
a food for cattle. The palace
is to be built of bales of alfalfa
and lined with exhibits of al
falfa and other grasses. Valu-
able premiums are to be offered
for the best types of the alfalfa
plant, and many growers will
secure hay presses and modern
machines for baling the alfalfa.
Much attention is to be given
alfalfa at the National Corn
Exposition as it is now recog-
nized that it is a necessary
food for stock. The best author
tiles have demonstrated that
cattle cannot use to advantage
all the carbohydrates and oil
in corn without a protein ra-
tion. 1t is a waste to feed
straight corn to stock in pre-.

Payunk-Walker.

A very pretty June wedding
occurred at the home of the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
John Walker, of Logan, last
evening at z o'clock, when Miss
Mae Walker, was united in
marriage to Mr.. Ed. Payunk, Of
Council Bluffs, by Rev. Lew G.
Harris, of the Christian church.
The ring ceremony was used,
Miss Consuella johnson being
the bearer.
A reception was given the
bridal couple at the beautiful
home of Mr.. and Mrs. w. H.
johnson from 8 to 10. The dec
orations were beautiful and the
refreshments elegant. Mr.. and
Mrs. Payunk were the recip-
tents of many useful and costly
presents.
They left on the evening
train for Lincoln, Nebr., for a
few days visit afterwhich they
will reside at Co. Bluffs, where

They Join in the Results .

1t may be a mysterious, but
it is no less a certain law Of
destiny, that whatever of good
or i'll a man works in this life
those whom he loves must par
ticipate in the results.
When he goes wrong, his
family and friends, absolutely
innocent in thought and deed,
suffer with him. When all has
been fair and true and manly,
with him they join The fruits
of his well-doing and his sue
cess is theirs. Shakespeare,
for a wonder, was only half
right when he said:
"The evil that men do lives
after them;
The good is oft inferred with
their bones"
The good and the evil alike
live with men, and remain be-
hind to bless or blast their
memories. If a man has failed
in the essentials of thrift and
prudence, he must suffer and
others with him. If he has
been faithful in these few
things he shall be mao ruler
over many things ruler in the
consciousness of duty we'll done
in the knowledge that peace
and security from want are the
heritage, through his efforts
iof those near and dear to him

Trouble Over Homestead.

IlOuOlS OVCl llOIllCSlCdus
Washington June 25. The
controversy between William
Quinlan of Blair, Neb, and the
Northwestern road and Mo.
Valley bridge company over a
homestead entry made by Quin-
Ian near Blair, was argued to-
day before the commission of
the general land office. The
case has been beforn the local
land office at Des Moines and
there decided against the rail-
road company, whereupon it
appealed to the general land
office.
The case involved a home
stead entry of land about half
a mile east of the Iowa end of
the bridge of the Northwestern
Railroad company across the
Missouri at Blair. The title of
the homesteader (Quinlan) is
disputed by the railroad and
bridge company, it being their
contention that the land enter
ed upon is not subject to home
stead entry because prior to the
entry of Quinlan the land in
question had been held and oc-
cupied by the railroad under
claim of title derived from the
state of Iowa.
The land in question is chief
ly valuable to the railroad for
the reason it desires to control
it so as to use it to protect the
abutments of the railroad
bridge which crosses the Mis-.
souri at this point. The case
will be laid before Secretary
Garfield upon his return from
Honolulu for final settlement

Back From the Isthrnian
Canal.

Arthur Ernstdorf who has
been gone from Logan over
two years and has been for the
past year working for the gov
ernment as a machinist in Pan
anna, made a very successful
surprise on his relatives and
friends here Friday afternoon,
by coming in on the afternoon
train. Nobody here expected
him, but the surprise was none
the less pleasant on that ac-
count. He brought with him a
number Of relics secured dur
ing his travels. He visited
Alaska before he went to the
Isthmus Among other things
he brought home was a snake
skin which he bought from a
negro a short time before sail
ing. The reptile was over sew
en- feet long and a good healthy
speciman one that a person
would sidestep for quickly if
met in the road. He expects
togo back to the Isthmus as
soon as his leave of absence ex-
pires which will be in about two
months. He visited Judge r..
S. Garrison just before he
started. Mr.. Garrison has Just
been released from the hospital
where he had been having a
run of fever. Observer.

Death Rate Great.

The report of the State
Board Of Health will not be
published till in October but the
figures on the mortality for
Iowa for the year ending June
80, 1907, have just been COM
pleted. They show that there
were 95 persons died during
that time of measles and 81 of
whooping cough, and that 88
died of scarlet fever and three
of smallpox. The number dy-
ing Of measles and whooping
cough combined is more than
double the deaths from scarlet
fever and smallpox, and yet
the latter two are considered
the more dangerous diseases
and the first two are consider
ed innocent children's diseases.
The total deaths for the year
were 10000.
David Rankin, a member of
the Missouri delegation to the
republican national convention,
is said to be the largest indi-
vidual farmer in the world.
He was the oldest delegate in
the convention, having passed
his eighty-third year. His
farm IN Atchison county, Mo-,
comprises $4,000 acres, $4,000
being given to cultivation Of
corn and the other 1000 to
pasturage. Last year his corn
crop reached 100000 bushels.
He has 10000 cattle and Is COO
hogs. At the present price of
cattle he would certainly realize
a neat little sum from their
sale.
G. w. Pugsley has received
w,1rd of his appOintment as
general manager of the Ne
braska division Of the big Ma
tional corn show to be held at
Omaha in December. Mr.. Pugs-
ley has been closely identified
with husbandry interests of
Nebraska, having taken a de-
gree at the university at Lin
coin a couple Of years ago. He
did short-course work last win
ter to a considerable extent

tion as general manager for
Nebraska is right in line with

Five are Killed in Wreck
Rushville, Neb., June 30
The worst train wreck in the
history of Sheridan county oc-
Cured between l and 2 this
morning about a mile east of
Clinton. A terrible hail and
rain storm had cut through
there, piling the stones up from
six to eight feet some places,
and where the wreck occurred
had washed the earth from the
top of a culvert twenty feet
high, leaving the rails unsup-
ported. A double header freight
train going east plunged into
this trap, destroying eleven
cars and two locomotives and
killing an engineer and brake
man in the rear engine and the
fireman of the front engine.
The cars were splintered into
kindling. Two men who were
beating their way were also
killed. The engineer of the
front engine had a marvellous
escape, being thrown out of the
cab into a torrent of water in
which he stood up to his shoul-
ders. He lost his little finger,
which was torn off with his
glove, and otherwise escaped
with a few bruises. The names
of the dead are
w. Graham, engineer.
Fred Epner, brakeman.
O. c. Myers, fireman.
Two unidentified men.
The passenger was forty min
utes late and had it been twen-
|ty minutes late it would have
met the same fate. Doctors
from along the line to Chadron
were hurried to the spot and
everything was done to allevi-
ate the suffering. The fireman
on the second engine had his
leg broken.
The surviving engineer had
a premonition of what was
coming in a dream in which he
saw himself struggling in dirty
water and scrambling out up a
steep, muddy bank; when the
accident occurred his dream
flashed across his mind as he
|scrambled out of the water up
the sides of his engine which
had half keeled over on it's
right side. Graham, the dead
engineer, has a wife and two
children, and it is believed the
awful shock will kill her. Pace,
the surviving engineer, has a
wife and three children at
Johnstown, Ind, when he said
goodbye to his family his little
boy cautioned him not to get
into any washouts. The pass
enger trains east and west were
delayed and the mails and pass
engers transferred.
The dead and wounded were
conveyed to Chadron.
A travelling man arrived at a
