NEW YORK, Nov. l3.-No appar-
ent obstacle presented itslf to the
advance in prices today. Except as
bids were raised. there seemed to
be no stocks offered. The mere
fact OF the advancing tendency OF
prices served to reduce the offerings.
holders retaining their stocks In the
hope that they could just as well get
higher prices for them. Such Or
ferings as were encountered were abb
sorbed with ready confidence. STOCKS
which have lain dormant were reviv-
ed by putting in bids at gradually ad-
vancing quotations without bringing
out any stock. the result being some
remarkable advances in the sale
prices over preceding transactions.
All this served to feed the specu-
lative enthusiasm. which was prevail
ent in a degree. The market TOOK
on all the appearance Of bull move
ment. The general prediction ad-
vanced by the enthusiastists was that
a quick restoration Of prosperity was
in sight with prospects Of larger re-
turns to capital than ever before.
United States Steel was made an b.
ject lesson for all followers Of the
prevalent speculative spirit. That
stock forged upwards to successive
new record prices, so that each stage
of it's advance offered an additional
profit to any purchase that had ever
been made Of the stock since the
formation of the company. Its top
figure of 59% represented a rise OF z
points over the closing price last
night. which in turn showed a gam

traders caused a slight reaction IN
realizing their days profits, but the

with remarkable consistency. and the
closing tone was very strong.
Bonds were strong and very active.

A BURN PROVES FATAL


Hillsboro, Texas, Jan. 4-Thurs-
day afternoon about O'Clock, while
Mrs. DR.. B. F. Smith was engaged in
burning some trash in the back yard
of their residence on North Pleasant
street, her clothing caught fire. She
was alone at the time and evidently
the flames made such rapid progress
that she was unable to suppress
them and before she could be reach
ed by the relief which came in re-
sponse to her cries almost her en-
tire body was enveloped. Mrs d. j.
Sawyer, who was at the time in the
back yard of her own home. was
perhaps the first person whose at
tention was attracted and she at
once notified some workmen on n
nearby building. who made all pos
sible haste to the place and under
took to extinguish the flame but met
with little success, when a son of
the unfortunate lady who had been
at work in the barn in the rear Of
the lot, heard the cries of his mother
and rushing into the house secured
quilt and wrapped her in it, and
succeeded in extinguishing the fire,
but not until most of her clothing
had burned off and Mrs. Smith s
body, arms and face had been terri
bly, burned. She was carried into her
home and her husband notified by
telephone and Drs. Buie and Vaug-
han also FASTENED to the residence.
The injuries were dressed and all
that was possible was done through
out the night to preserve her life, al
though little hope was entertained
for her recovery, and at Z O'Clock
Friday morning, death relived her
of her sufferings.

Henry Miller, the distinguished
actor manager, will bring ''The
Great Divide" which has won the
recognition as ''the long awaited
great American play " to the opera
house on Tuesday, January 7. The
coming of this famous drama which
has recently been presented at the
Princess and Days theatres in New
York for over 500 performances
has for some time been held by our
play lovers as bright spot in the
indefinite theatrical future, and this
positive announcement of the date
of the engagement will be greeted
has added much to the celebrity of
Mr. Miller as a producing manager
and brought from dramatic obscuri-
ty into permanent renown an author
who will have to be reckoned with
from now on in the American drama.
VIM. Vaughn Moody had already be-
come established as this country's
leading younger poet, and through
his occupancy of the chair of Eng
lish in the University of Chicago, his
several publications relating to the
language have long been quoted as
an authority upon English litera-
ture. Bur until Mr.. Miller produced
"The Great Divide" even Mr.. Moo
that the brilliant young poet could
write a play which would be not
only the most successful of its time
from a pecuniary standpoint, but
which would also be declared by
leading critics to 'set a new mark
in American drama" The play is in
three acts, the first two being repre-
sented as taking place in Arizona
and the third in Massachusetts. In
! way, the drama is conflict be-
tween the spirit of the East and the
spirit of the west An eastern wom-
an weighted down by generations OF
tradition and conventionality, is
strangely wooed and still more
strangely won by western man un-
fettered by custom and ignorant OF
restraint of mind or action. The
mating of these opposite natures
provokes great storm and stress
and raises many intensely interest
ing and highly dramatic situations
One must see this masterful exposi-
tion of American manhood and
womanhood as portrayed in this
really great play to understand ade-
quately how the storms are weather
ed and the problem solved.

City Authorities Issue Orders TO Arrest
All Crowds on Street.

Muncie, Ind, Jan. 4.-Whether
to bring the state troops to Muncie
to put down the daily outbreaks re-
sulting from the street railway strike
was a question decided in the affir-
NATIVE by the city and traction Off
cials last night. The mayor and the
chief of police are strongly opposed
to the appearance of soldiers on the
street cars. On the other hand, Ad-
jutant General Perry declared that
the rioting must stop.
Rioting in connection with the
street railway strike was resumed
yesterday. The cars started running
on regular schedule at O'Clock
without interruption and were not
molested for several hours A crowd
attacked two cars in the outskirts
of the city shortly after 10 O'Clock
hurting stones and other missiles,
and after driving off the crews, com
pletely wrecked the cars. Squads of
police hurried to the place and over
fifty arrests were made The Jail is
nearly filled with rioters and orders
were repeated to arrest every mem
Der of street gathering that con-
tanned more than three persons
There was no attempt at violence in
downtown sections of the city. Two
rioters were badly hurt, one of them
being cut about the throat with a
knife, but not fatally hurt.

The beautiful auditorium of the
Sims Library has been unused so
far this winter, but its doors will be
open to the public for a series Of
lectures on Strange Sights in For

NJ, traveller and lecturer, next
Thursday, Friday and Saturday
nights Mr.. Lumpkin has travelled
around the world twice in prepara-
ton of these lectures, and delivers
them dressed in the native costume

entertainment comes strongly back
ed by fiattering press reports and
favorable comment from educators
where the lectures have been given,
and we consider Waxahachie fortu-
nate in securing Dr. Lumpkin as the
tir3t high class attraction OF this
kind for the season.

Sheriff Forbes has about arrived
at the conclusion that misfortune ac-
companies him on his hunting trips.
Several days ago he went with a
party of friends to the Mountain
Peak country and lost a grip con-
tanning his supply of ammunition.
New Years day he made another
trip to Mountain Peak, this time aC-
companied by B. +. Thornhill and
T. J. Bullard Having no hunting
coat Sheriff Forbes borrowed one
from Mr.. Bullard. When the hunt
ing field was reached Sheriff Forbes
took the coat from the surrey. and
two inches of chest expansion, re-
marked that the pockets seemed
well filled with cartridges. Several
hundred yards from the vehicle q
covey of birds was found and the
big sheriff cracked away at them
with both barrels Inserting his hand
in a pocket of the coat for cartrid-
ges he found it to be filled with
small rocks. An investigation of the
other receptacles Of the garment re-
vealed the same state of affairs,
much to the chagrin of the sheriff.
When it dawned upon him that he
had been made the victim of joke
he enjoyed good natured laugh
