STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Further Rise in Prices With lndivid-
 unl stocks Strongest.

New York. May S.-Explanation of the further rise in prices of stocks to- day was directed to the play of gen eral causes, rather than to any inn mediate new developments or to any thing specially affecting the individ- ual stocks which were strongest. The Hartman Pacihcs and Reading were brought forward once more into the foremost rank of the movement and their activity and strength had the usual powerful effect on spe sulative sentiment on the whole list. The prin- cipa fact regarding Union Pa fife is the well known immincnece of bond Issue of $25,000,00O to $60,0o0 000. Many rumors circulated to-day of the amount of these bonds to be offered and tho price to be realized. Mean time Union Pacific rose aRgressively with scarcely q pause al the round figure of TAO. Readings movement was even wider, the extreme advance running to over points. The princl- pal news item regarding this stock was an unvcrhed report that 100, 900 shares of 1t held by Lake Shore had been sold in the course Of the present rise This supposed large increase in the market supply of the stock did not check it's sharp upward tendency. A marked feature of the market, in fact, was the light supply of stocks offering, at any stage of the advance, This condition much facilitated the efforts of those seeking tO establish a higher price level Such a re1djust- ment of the price level to conform to the emorgence of affairs from the rofound depression and dstrust of the panic period is avowedly one of the main purposes of the persistent mark ing I'D of stocks in the present move mcnt, 4 similar process made itself plainly manifest in tho bond revision to-day where q number of low grade and contingent interest bonds were re- vived suddenly from a dormant condi- ton into one of considerable anima- ton. Comparatively small amounts of these bonds had to be taken by ad- vanced bids while the higher prices thus reached established q quotation for theae securities accepted by bank CTS and money lenders as a basis on which to figure their security as col lateral in loans. The forecast of the weekly currency movement gave promise of another large addition tc bank cash, estimates running from i $11,O00,00O upwards,
 There was q momcutary halt in tho rise upon the appearance of the gov. ernment crop report, which was less favorable than expected, but the mar kct became strong again afterwards.
 Bonds were active and firm. Tota, sales par value, $7946,000.

WHY RATES WILL STAND.
Railway Officials Believe Step Would
 Hurt Rather Than Help.

New York, May In well Informed quarters, two reasons were given to- day for tho decision reached by East ern railway officials at yesterdays meeting to postpone the proposed n- crease in freight rates until after the presidential election: First, the oppo- eltion of shippers, and second. the arr guments presented hy representatives Of some of the roads that the step would hurt rather than help business.
 It was declared that there was no truth in the stories that the increase was postponed until october or No- vembcr because of the work attached to getting up now schedules.
 While railway officials admitted that there WIS no signs 'of immediate re- covery in earnings, tho consensus of opinion was that by November the ne- oessity for increasing freight rates will have disappeared An increase In earn lngs and further reduction ini ex- penses Is expected to bring about the desired results. When conditions are favorable, it Is believed that a read justment of rates In some cases will be effected

WALL STREET NOTES
Reading and Southern Pacific Advance to New High Fig

LACKAWANNA LEAPS UP
Rise of Hartman Stocks Demonstrates Splendid Campaign Man
 agement.

While the early trading in stocks was without much change in prices, there was a good undertone, and the bears were not allowed to secure any &dvantage. Before the first hour was over Reading, Southern Pacific, and other grangers were advancing sharp ly to new high figures for the year, and in the second hour the advance was continued at the rate of 100000 shares a day Between twelve and one o'clock Union Pacific was the leader, having crossed 40 on very large transactions Stocks appeared to be very well absorbed at midday, and if distribution was going on it was cleverly concealed. Trading in bonds was also on fairly large scale. The sensational feature of the last half hour was a Appoint rise In Dela- ware, Lackawanna and Western at , points between sales, from 500 to 525 o1 1000 shares. The next sale was $40. The low price of last year dur ing the panic was S60 12. r. sold at 56O in May, 1906, the highest on record,

Under ordinary circumstances this would cause some liquidation of Reading, on the assumption that if the Lake Shore found 1t profitable to get out at this time individuals would do well to follow its example. Just what was back of the further rise in Reading, except move against the shorts, was not clear. There were no facts.

TAKES POISON FOR WHISKY
Mistake of Alfred HRrtry Proves Fatal
within q Couple of
Hours.

Thinking that a carbolic acid bottle con-
tanned whisky, Alfred Hartry, a painter
who lived at 1921 Ohio street, drank some
of the poison when he returned home from
work about 6 o'clock Tuesday evening and
died at 7:4O o'clock. Hartry had been TAX
ing medicine for some time. and on the
Doctors advice had also taken a small
drink of whisky with each dose of the
medicine. His taking the poison instead
of liquor was purely accidental, as the I'M
fortunate man came home last night in the
best of spirits and was laughing and joking
with members of his family when he took
the fatal draught.
Hartry discovered his mistake as soon as
he could taste what he had drank, and
called to his wife to get him something to
counterfeit the poison. Drs. N. f. Steiner
and w. s. Gibbs were summoned at once,
but their most strenuous efforts failed to
save the life that mere accident soon
snuffed out.
Coroner Brewer, the police and Under
taker Jackson were notified of the case.
The latter declined to give out any informa-
ton of the affair except to the coroner's
office, which he told of the mere fact and
cause of death, and it was necessary for
a police officer to visit the Hartry home to
get the particulars of the case.
1t is thought that the dead man was
about IS years old. He is survived by a
wife and family, and by his brother, Harry
c.. Hartry.

the weather has been ideal for outdoor
work of all kinds. Corn husking has COM
menced in some localities. although the
corn is not yet dry enough to crib. Some
fields are yielding forty-five bushels to the
acre, others much less, but the average
yield throughout this section of Nebraska
will not fall much short of forty bushels.
Potatoes have practically been all har-
vested and many carloads marketed. The
weather is dry and warm. WINTER wheat, of
which a larger area Is sown in this vicinity
each year, shows a surprising stand and
ing the sowing of this crop has been eX-
ceedingly favorable TO its development and

Election Of officers, final reports of com

morning.
Jesus was not God, but man." exclaimed
the Rev. Edward Day of Wichita, who
read a paper on the theme What DO We
Know of Jesus?'
Mr.. Day also referred to the attacks on
Taft on the score of his religion and told
of his own answers to attacks upon us,
who are called Unitarian infidels." He
based mis- paper upon a recently published
volume on the same subject and made
much of the point that just as the con-
ception of the Bible has changed from n
belief in its infaIlibility to Individual in
depreciation, so likewise the conception of
Jesus. He argued further that the second
change is logically necessary If the first is
made.
Out of Sympathy with East.
II am out of sympathy with Unitarians
of the east" said he, who are disposed
to gloss over the essential difference be-
tween us and others for fear of offending
their Trinitarian brethren" He then went
on to tell of the community of spirit DE
tween us liberals and the Reformed Jews
and state that the Reformed Jewish con-
gregation OF Wichita had several times
made use of his church building and that
he himself felt so much in sympathy with
