PROCLAMATION!

Notice is hereby given that, beginning Tuesday, July 28, 1908, the law prohibiting weeds will be strictly enforced, and arrests made for violations of Sections 495 and GOA of the City Code. No further delay or notice will be given after that date.
 These sections make liable to fine and imprisonment any owner, lessee or occupant or any agent, servant or employe or representative thereof of the premises or sidewalk which maintains or permits the un- lawful growth of weeds. The law makes a growth 4 inches high unlawful.
 The public is warned that there will be no remittances of fines or failure to arrest on ac- count of absence from the city or ignorance of this proclama- tion or of the weed laws.
 A prompt and cheerful con- pliance will prove of benefit both to the health and comfort of the entire people, and will be appreciated by the authorities.
 Given under my hand this 18th day of July, 1908.

One feature of the market for some time past has been large buying of steel stocks for foreign account and for account of Americans who are abroad on their vacation. An influential bunch of Steel Corporation insiders are on the other side at this moment and they are doing great deal of talking, much of which finds it's way back into American newspapers, and which is very clearly having a bullish effect at home and in Europe. The mega phone brigade of Steel Corporation adver
 tisers on the other side includes Judge Gary and at least half a dozen other di- rectors. In the face of very serious and protracted depression in the iron business and a certainty of more or less important tariff revision next year many of the in- siders predict par for common and 130 for preferred before the end of 1909. A convincing feature of this flood of optimis
 tic advertisement is that those who in duge in it seems earnestly to believe what they. are saying. This Is one of the things that make the steel issues leaders in the stock market.

NICHOLAS WALL
 STREET LETTER Talk of Pressure on Stocks a Conspicuous Feature LARGE STREET BUYING Bankers of Wall Street Give Open En- couraeement to Moderate specu-
 lation-call Money Goes
 as Low as Per Cent
LARGE STREET BUYING
BY W. G. NICHOLAS,

New York, July S.-(SpeciaL )-Lack ot pressure of stocks continues to be the conspicuous feature of the market. The investment public, which has its money Tn shares, seems to have made up its min 10 hold on to what it has while specula- tors who are carrying securities on bor- lowed money are well content to let well enough alone so long as they get their little "scalp"-the difference between the cost of the money to them and the larger income received from dividends.
 A great majority of the people who went into the market on the low level made between October of last year and February of this year have a handsome arofit and are compacent. Those who bought long ago have seen a very sub stantial recovery from panic prices and they too feel satisfied. Hence it is that pnfavorable reports of railroad earnings and disappointment as to the predicted general business revival have small senti- mental effect.
 The prevailing disposition is to sit down quietly and go through any ordinary en- ddrance test which the future may have in store, calm in the faith that the country will sooner or later resume it's upward and onward march, This is T comfortable feeling for a majority of those who are in a position to stand the strain. There is cold comfort, however, for the millions of men who are out of employment or who gre working on short time. This lhase of the situation does not now affect Wall street or the prices of stocks. The market drags along with occasional spurts of manipulatiYe activity and with an ap- rearance of underlying strength, which is stubbornly maintained in the face of sta- tistlcal Encouragement of the rankest kind.

PLANS FOR CONGRESS-
/ AT SALT LAKE CITY
Great Chorus Will BE Among Feat
ures of the Occasion.

Great preparations are being made
al Salt Lake City for the reception of
delegates to the Trans Missouri Dry
Farming congress, which will gather
at that place January % and be in
session for three days. This infor-
nation was contained in a letter re-
ceiyed yesterday by Richard A. Riepe,
enc of the local delegates, from
Fisher Harris, president of the or
ga nization.
Mr.. Harris in his letter congratu-
lates Riepe on his appointment as
delegate and calls his attention to the
elaborate program which viii be car
ried out Beside the regular business
of the gathering several social feat
ures, which cannot prove other than
pleasing, have been arranged. Chief
among these is a great concert to be
given in honor of the assemblage in
the tabernacle. In this 1000 good
singers will take part So large a
chorus, with skilled soloists, will
make an event worth travelling far to
| hear.
Arrangements have been made with
various railroads, Mr.. Harris states,
for unusually low rates. Although
little can be learned at present, it is
thought that several persons other
than the delegates will attend from
this district.

The report of City Marshal Hud-

First on his list come IL drunk and

the most popular cause of arrest.
Next in number come those who were
guilty of disturbing the peace and
dignity of Ely. These number six.

an equal number were charged with
assault and battery.

MINER COMMITS
SUICIDE AT
RHYOLlTE
Domestic Troubles and
Heavy Drinking Occa.
sion Tragedy.

Word was received here yesterday
of the suicide at Rhyolite on last Fri
day of Martin O'Toole, formerly a
we'll known miner of this district.
O'Toole was AS years of age and
while in this district bore good rep
utation for industry and sobriety. AT
Rhyolite, however, he seems to have
departed from the habits which he
followed in this respect here. Ac-
cording to the report received in the
city, O'Toole had been drinking
around Rhyolite heavily for several
days. Last Thursday evening he
raised a disturbance at his home and
was arrested and put in jail over
night. Friday morning he was re-
leased and told to go home and be-
have himself.
O'Toole went home and again COM
menced raising row. With an axe
he broke in a door and some furni-
ture into kindling wood and threw
the pieces in the yard. An officer
was again sent for and for the sec
ond time arrested him, but O'Toole
refused to accompany him to the jail,
and the officer was compelled to hand
cuff him and send for conveyance
While waiting for the vehicle, an au-
tomobile, to arrive O'Toole walked
across the room and dropping a white
lumb of stuff in a cup of coffee
drank it. The officer supposed the
man was putting lump of sugar in
the coffee, and did not try to STOP
him. Later events proved the white
stuff to be cyanide. After drinking
the coffee and while on the way to
| jail, O'Toole commenced breathing
hard, and after being placed in jail
physician was summoned, but the
man was dead before the doctor ar
rived.
