New York, Sep. THE tone O
speculation in stocks today was based
on the heights to which prices hav,
been carried already and found eX-
preston in retraining from further
buying and bidding up of stocks. NOR,
than in any active attempts to gel
them lower. The lesson of punish
ment administered to the bears last
month is too fresh in the mind yet to
have lost its intimidating effects. The
doubts about the warrant for the pres
ent level of prices are due to some
skepticism over the alleged rate Of re-
Cuperation in business owing 10 the
lack of confirmation in figures Of rail
road earnings, currency movements.
bank clearing. and other uusual in
deNes of any but moderate growth of
business activity. The redundant
state of the money market while CON
s%tituting the mainstay of the specu-
lative position on the long side Of
stocks is itself a matter for suspicion
of tagging commodities and merChan-
disc markets. The absence of the
usual ~seasonable demand from the in
terror for funds Is the subject of grow

Heir to Large Property

Mrs. ]. o. Goatley Of Pawnee Rock
Kansas, who came to attend the
funeral Of Charles Moorehouse, who
was supposed to be her uncle, has
startled Hiawatha people by making
the claim that she is the child of
Mrs. Charles Moonehouse, by a for.
mer husband. Mrs. Moorehouse died
year ago under peculiar circumstanc-
es, and II Mrs. Goatley can estab-
lish her claim she will fall heir to
a large part of the property left by
Charles MoorehOuse. Her story is TO
mantle in the extreme. She says
that her mother, Mrs. Charles Moore,
house, was in convent in Indiana,
she fell in love with a man with
whom she eloped few months lat
er. She says that she is the result
of this union. When her father died,
and when she was Is years of age,
her mother married Charles Moore
house. No children were born in this
union. She went to the home of
Charles Moorehouse, and made the
claim of being a daughter of Mrs.
MOOrehouse. Hiawatha people re-
membered that she attended school
here for year, but was known as a
niece Of Mrs. Moorehouse. She says
this was done to pacify Mr.. Moore
house, who knew thatshe was the
daughter of his wife, because he re
fused her a home unless she was
known as his niece. Her claim was
a surprise to the mother and sister
Of Mr.. Moorehouse, who are now oc-
cupying his house. Mrs. Goatley says
that she can Justify her claims and
can give evidence that will prove her
statements. When in the Moorehouse
residence she said, "I'll show you
that l know what I'm talking about,
and went to the organ and took
out from the back a picture of her
mother and father. She is now ON
her way east to visit the convent in
order to get absolute proof. While
here she stayed with Mrs. Frank
Case and all who met her say that
she is a refined Christian woman"
Mrs. Goatley is the wife of ]. o.
Goatley, proprietor of the Rock ho-
tel at Pawnee Rock. She is we'll
thought of by all who know her
and it is hoped she may be success.

A Wonderful Demonstration.

Taft waged war against our con-
stitution, and asked us to give up our
right to liberty and self-government.
But the greatest apostle of human lib
erty advised us to accept it, and by a
majority of over 100000 Oklahoma
rejected the advice of Taft and &C
copied the advice of Bryan"
1t was enough.
The pent up sentiment of the wait
ing audience had burst from its bonds.
The storm cloud that had been gath
ering was upon the multitude. Like
the rush of many waters came the
torrent of applause. 1t was spontane-
Gus, mighty and unceasing!
