A MILLION SHARES.
Volume of Business
Transactions on Yesterdays
Stock Exchange.

New York, Nov. T. Excitement in
speculation was maintained today
as it Witnessed by the transaction of
nearly a million shares. The list of
different isues dealt in is an unus-
ually long one, thus testifying to the
variety and breadth Of the market,
The dealings in fact, gave many
signs of widespread buying fever,
such as breaks out IN periods OF a
great bull market The flodo of buy.
ing orders went ON uninterrupted and
the speculative appetite gave no evil
dence of being appeased. 1t was
stimulated by roseate views of the
industrial outlook contained in pull
lished reports Of great orders placed
for commodities, wholesale resump
ton by mills and sudden activity in
commercial lines In the case Of some
detailed reports Of railroad orders on
enormous scales for new equipment
and other outlays there came specific
denials. Lively effect on speculation
was caused by the belief that rail
roads We're embarked upon a con
certed attempt to secure higher
freight charges. The temporary IN
junction against the enforcement Of
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion's order for the reduction Of Mis-
souri, River rates fed the conviction
that the railroads are TO have a freer
hand in fixing charges, Some effect
On prices was in the second hour by
extensive reainzing sales but new
points Of strength We're developing
when the market closed in great AMI

SHOT ON HIS PORCH.
DIR. RuStin Assassinated as He Was
Entering His Home.

Omaha. Neb.. Sept. 2.-Dr. Frederick
Rustin. one of the most famous sur
geons in the west, was shot and killed
as he was on the point of entering
his home this morning at O'Clock.
There is not a single clew to the muir
derer.
Dr. Rustin had remained out late for
the election returns. His wife was
awakened by a pistol shot and rushed
down stairs and out on the porch.
DR. Rustin was sitting in chair.
II have been shot," he said, and then
lapsed into unconsciousness. He died
half an hour later without recovering
consciousness. A single pistol ball had
entered the abdomen.
The first theory of the police was
that Rustin had suicided, but as no
pistol has been found and from the
fact that surgeon would have shot
through the heart or the head, the
murder theory is now accepted.

OFFICE BOY AT SO.
He Still Holds the First Job He Ever
Had.

New York, Sept 2.-Without any
special observance to mark the
occasion, Samuel Bracket, of Tren-
ton, N. J., said to be the oldest office
boy in the world, is SO years old to-
day. He is employed in the Office of
the Anvil works in that city owned by
Mrs. Clark Fisher, and he is known
as an heirloom of the family having
been in its employ for the last So
years. He now occupies the same
position he did when he first went to
work.
"Strict attention to business is the
way to stay in this world" Bracket
said. THAT is why / did not want a
lot of fuss made over my birthday.
Some Of my friends wanted to arrange
a big celebration, but 1 was afraid it
would take my mind and too much of
my time from my office duties.''
Bracket was pupil in the Sunday
school class of Mark Fisher in 1893
when Mr.. Fisher had a large tannery
in Portland, Me. AS he seemed to be
a bright lad, Mr.. Fisher put him to
work in his office. When his en-
ployer moved to Trenton in 1912 and
helped to establish the Fisher and
Morris anvil works, Sammy" accom-
panied him. Instead of staying in the
Office he went into the shops When
