TO LAWSON
Is the Stock Decline
Charged Fault IL
That of Overly
Eager Traders

BOSTON, April lin its weekly
resume of copper stocks and metal.
the Financial News says:
Compared with last week the
transactions during the past few days
havs been light. The trading has
been mostly done by the local trading
element. the outside public not be-
ing interested to any great extent.
Brokers have been complaining each
day of the scarcity of new business.
What has brought about this sud-
den change is a question Which cam
not be definitely answered. but 1t Is
accounted for in way by the mac
tivity of Mr.. Lawson. No one said
he was going to do anything In the
local market. but everyone seemed
to think he was and acting on this
belief they all jumped into the mar
ket and began to buy the coppers.
particularly the ones in which Mr..
Lawson was known to IN interested.
They kept on doing this until the
Yukon Gold had been sold and then
they discovered that Mr.. Laws0n'x
plans did not include any immediate
movements in local stocks. Those
who couldn't hold on for the long
pull began to dump their stocks when
they discovered their mistake and
since then the market has been even
quieter than usual.
On top of this there has been con-
siderable weakness in the copper
metal market. which has been rather
discouraging. so that taken as a
whole the conditions have not been
favorable for activity and strength
and it is but natural that the pub
lie should withdraw until more IA
vorable developments are repofted.
Leading wire drawers say that the
copper metal situation is better from
the producers standpoint than 1t has
been for months. Representatives
of the United Metals Selling company
who were in Boston this week were
very cheerful over the outlook for
the market They claim that the
stock of copper in this country Is
down to a minimum amount and that
while there is apparently more than
normal visible supply abroad. figures
can be made to lie. They
also claim that the consumption of
copper must soon return to normal

that electrical development Is but In
its infancy In this country and the.
world at large. On the other hand,
at the moment local producers--es-
pecially the smaller Lake companies
are finding it hard work to get rid
of their copper.
In regard to Cumberland Ely. Me-
vada Consolidated and Utah Copper,
interests working for a combination
have already secured more than .
majority of the. Utah company stock.
The syndicate also owns a majority OF
stock of other companies mentioned
in connection with the merger. II
will not be surprising to see Law
son advertising campaign started on
this copper combine almost any day
now. The Yukon fotation has not
been the fat failure that the street
has imagined AS matter of fact.

"pikers" who have been "sewed up"

forth, but at the end of the day most

IN started home, and the others
went into the house. Mr.. Martin

of the News office, III passing
through James Henry's farm

two large trees, and to satisfy
his curiosity, measured the girth
Of the trees four feet from the

would indicate a diameter OF more

The Sunday school convention is
not picnic--it is conference Of

One feature of especial inter

different grades of the work.
This ought to prove beneficial to
uperintendents and teachers.
Still another feature will be the
alumni banquet. A meeting of
all the graduates of the teachers

District Convention.
Sunday School Workers Making Their
Annual Tor OF The County. Good
Work Being Done.


The annual series of District
Sunday School Conventions are
beng held IN this county at this
time The first of the series was
held at Center Church in Taylor
township on Tuesday of last
week. Notwithstanding the IN
clemency of the weather, about
seventy five persons we're pres
ent, and tiue interest prevailed.
Prof Beery, one of the State
Workers WINS present, and very
successful meeting was held. On
Wednesday, the convention was
held at Clear Ridge; and while
the neetlng was good, the attend
ance was limited on account of
the inclemeucy of the weather.
At Knobsville on Thursday, the
attendance was much better; in
fact, about l25 people were there,
and an en- husiastic meeting was
held. The meeting at the Asso.
cate Church on Friday was not
so largely attended, but the meet
ing was among the most pleasant
of the y eek. The County>~Capl-
tai was reached Saturday, and In
the afternoon the people turned
out by score, for the services IN
the Methodist Episcopal church.
In order to avoid the necessity OF
providing place for an overflow
meeting, the Presbyterian church
was selected for the evening ses-
sion. The committee had made
no mistake; the church hel / tie
Hsrowd all right, and there was,
really, room for more.
The principal address of the
evening was made by Mrs. S. M
Cook, Teacher framing Superin
tendent, of the County Force
The subject discussed was
Teacher Training" Several
talks were made in addition tC
Mrs. Cook s address, and as a re
suit of the conference, severaI
Teachers Training Glasses may
be formed IN town.
OF the meetings that have been
held since that time we have nc
report, but as the weather is sc
fine this week. the meetings. will
likely be largely attended, and
the interest grow.
The Sunday School is a great
work, and it is unfortunate, that
there is such a marked apathy
among even those C whom more
should be expected.

Down Stairs in Night and Kill
ed Himself.
STUMBLED OVER TRUNK IN DARK.

On Thursday night of last week
death came to Mr.. Peter Bath, a
citizen well known IN the upper

expected way. Mr.. Bath had
for some time heen making his
home with his son Frank at Coles

Thursday morning he went over
to New Grenada and spent the

the graves of his departed friends
and relatives, and in the evening,
went to the home of his son-in-
law, Samuel Wagner, who lives
on the old homestead-ln the
house that Peter Bath had, him
self, built, and IN which he had
lived most of his lifetime.
At bedtime he went upstairs
and went to bed. About one o.
clock, he arose with the purpose
of going down stars, and, of
course, beng entirely familiar
with the house, did not think 1t
worth while to make a light. Just
at the head of the stairs he STUN
bled over a trunk TN it had been
placed there to keep the small
children from falling down the
stairs, and Mr.. Bath pitched
headlong, falling heavily at the
foot of the stairs, a distance oil
perhaps ten feet. The noise
woke the family, who arose quick
ly to investigate, and when the
scene was reached, found the un
fortunate man at the foot of the
stairway unconscious and bleed
ing. a messenger was sent fol
DR.. Campbell immediately, bu
before the Doctor could reach the
place, death had done it's work.
Mr.. Bath was a veteran of the
Civil War, a memb ber of Company
81, 22nd Cavalry, and served near
ly two years. His funeral, which
took place Sunday afternoon, was
conducted by Rev. Sollenberger,
os the Church of God, and inter
ment was made IN Bethel GENE.

day of his life in keeping green

remains were borne to their last
resting place by his army com
rades-Jesse o. McClain, M. w.

ter. and William Alloway-asslst-

and 27 days. He is survived by

Alice Livingstone, In Virginia

three sons-Frank, of Coles Sum

Mr.. BalLh was an indulgent and
loving husband and father-hon-

ly death was a shock to his many
friends.
