Dizziness was an unexpected Characteristic
of the local produce market Monday. Usu-
ally this day is active but the absence of
the usual number OF buying hucksters was
charged up to the rains of Sunday, which
made transportation difficult.
The supply of vegetables was ample, FOR
any demand and late in the day there was
a free delivery of additional quantities.
Butter and eggs showed weakness and
there was no change in quotations, but
transactions were nearly contaminated at
prices below the market and were only pre-
vented by fractional differences. The rains
should have made the market strong, but
it was said they only served to maintain
frmness temporarily.
Potatoes remain at bottom with CON
slant supply that prevents hope or I'M
provement Sweet potatoes are still below

Me&icans are arriving in fair quantities out

Poultry remains unchanged, but large
catches of barracuda and halibut which
were sent to this market, prevented scar

otherwise fish are scarce and high

carneqie's First Investment.

It was due to Thomas A. Scott that Andrew Carnegie made his first invest ment ten shares of stock in the Adams Express company, valued!at $500. This he did with considerable trepidation. He had labored hard for the money he had saved up while he had worked as a telegrapher. It is part of railroad history how he later fell in with the inventor of the sleeping car, saw the enormous advantages which that man. ner of travel held out to passengers and promoters and how he interested others in the invention of MT. Wood ruff. This occurred shortly after his return from Washington, when gthe problems of transportation! were still uppermost in his mind. He was now on the road to success and wealth as he then pictured earthly possessions. The Pennsylvania oil fields yielded large returns when Carnegie and oth- CTS turned their energies in the direc- ton of the newly discovered territory. In one year land purchased for $4O,O00 increased in value so that 1t paid div idend of $1, 00,O00-Exchange

Readinn a Horse. Eaea-

Every horse carries an index to his temper and intelligence in his face. The teachable, tractable animal Is broad and flat between the eyes; the bony ridge of his face dishes slightly from the point where the face narrows toward the nostrils. His ears are well set. sensitive and far apart, with a well defined ridge of bone extending across the top of the head between them. Always feel for this ridge in judging a horse. The eye should be large, clear and bright, with prom inent ridge of bone along the inner and upper edge of the socket.-London An SWerS

Chief Fitzgerald of Ware
 Shot.

Chief of Police Maurice Fitzger- through the body Friday after noon in the Hampshire House office by Frank B. Hannon of Leomin inster, wanted on charges of horse thieving and burglary, and is not expected to recover. After the shooting Hannon escaped from the hotel and made 8 break for liberty, but was headed off by the crowd attracted by the shots and the ringing in of the fire alarm and shot himself in the right temple, dying about 9 15 o'clock
 On Hannon s person was found what is said to have beeen complete con- fession of his various crimes, indi- eating his desperate mood and that he purposed murder and suicide if corner ed or captured.
 The shooting occurred about II. 45 o'clock Friday noon and was wit messed by no one except Clerk w. A. Segar of the Hampshire House, imme- diately upon Chief Fitzgerald propos- ing search of lannon's person after a brief questioning of him in the street and in the hotel office.
 Hannon drew revolver from his pocket and fired four shots in quick succession. Seeing the movement of the man to draw his gun, the Chief grabbed him around the neck but fail ed to prevent the movement.
 One of the shots took effect in Fitz- gerald's abdomen, one over the right lung, one in the left shoulder and the fourth in the left side below the heart
 Chief Fitzgerald had more con- fortable day yesterday, and is con- sidered by the physicians as on the gain and nearing point when he can be considered out of danger.
