This may be true, but it must not be forgotten that there is a very large short interest in this stock, especially in Lon don, where over 100000 shares have been sold. against calls and in view of this it would not be surprising if steel common went higher as result of a squeezing movement with the English shorts the sufferers.
 Unusual activity in Chicago and Alton 2A points on talk that an initial dividend of 1 per cent would be declared on the common stock Tuesday.
 As the Western Union Telegraph com pany is scheduled to come up for copsid- eration Wednesday there was talk in the street today that the rate would be at per cent and would be paid in cash. The basis for this gossip is that as the last declaration in April used up all the stock in the treasury of the company the com ing disbursement should be made in cash. In view of the way Wall street was de- ceived regarding the finances of the Gould stocks and as the Western Union comes under the management of the Goulds, conservative interests are of the opinion that the dividend will be passed

BE coOd-obey the Law

If anyone has any doubt of Judge
Ruppenthal having the back bone or
playing politics for democratic votes in
his official duties they want to read the
Court proceedings. He addressed the
audience and prisoners from the bench
this term. He believes ir the Parole
law and that in a first offense, in ac-
cidental cases, it may do good to give
the offender chance to ''be good, "
make a good citizen, but he gave it out
distinctly that persistent offenders,
that vicious offenders must expect no
favors but take the punishment the
law requires. He did not make the
law. 1t is on the book so every old of
fender knows the penalty and if they
want to be violators they must take
he cOrst quepces. 1t is a plain warn
ing 10 the violators in the 23rd Judicia
district.
He will recommend to the County
Con missioners in the district the es-
tahlishing of rock pile in their court
house grounds where the prisoners car
be made to break stone to be used in

what they really knew, resulting in the
several convictions and sentences below

q like sentence, SO n onths. $2400. Jake
StaaE. who also was convicted upon
IS counts received Jail sentence of AZ
mo. and $3.50 upon each count or $3250
It was also ordered that each defendant
enter into bond in the sum of $1,000
to keep the peace and be of good be-
haviOr for the period of two years be-
ginning at the expira ton of their Jail
sentences and that they stand com nit
ted to Jail until the sentence of the
court is complied with, Also that they
pay the costs of the prosecution which
will add another $1,000 which they will
have to pay before they can even be
paroled.
Complaint was made to the Judge on
Wednesday that Alcis Staab had vio-
lated the terms of his parole by getting
under the influence of Intoxicating il !
quOrs. The Judge Immediately cited
Staab and witnesses to appear before |
him and the matter was investi2 ated
by the Judge and County Attorney.
On account Of another case that was on |
trial. and the inability of witness to
be pre- sent the being sick) the hearing |
was continued, the Judge intending to
return specially to hear this matter
If found true, as Staab has been pa
rolled, he must, by law, this time stay
in Jail the eight months remaining of
his former sentence.
In the gambling (contemptl cases
