NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-There were

which have made up the in
fuences in the stock market for some
time past. The effect was to throw
the market into a state of seeming un-

feverish fluctuations and final sharp
break In the prices. Feeding out of
stock which had been the favorite me-
diumns Of speculation during much of
the recent rise was clearly percepti-

Erie. Even the expected movement
in Reading was not able to detach
Erie from the prevailing tendency in
the Hartman group, although Balti-
more and Ohio got the benefit Of this
division. Illinois Central also moved
in sympathy with the Southern group
and apart from the other Harrimans.
The most influential incident of the
day was the decision Of a United

MISS IVA COLE
HOME FROM PARK
WINNER OF GAzETTE's CONTEST
RETURNS FROM WONDERLAND.

The following letter, received yes
.terday from Miss Iva Cole, tells of
the joys of travelling in Wonderland.
Miss Cole has the misfortune to be
deaf and dumb, but in spite of that
says she had the trip of a lifetime.
The letter follows:
Editor Of The Billings Gazette:
l am going to write and tell you
about my trip through Yellowstone
National park.
l returned home safely OF Train No.
l6, and must say I had a most enjoy
able time. ! met many people who
had deaf and dumb friends, and they
knew how to entertain me. When l
stopped at the Stump lunch station I
found a young lady who could talk on
her fingers, and it made it more pleas
ant and cheerful for me. She took me
in her coach from the station, and !
went on through the park with her.
She and two friends of hers came
down with me on their way to Billings.
! I enjoyed their company all the way.
1 can say that the park trip was the
best time I ever had in my life, and
Ii hated to come back. The park is
livery beautiful, especially in Grand
: canyon.
1 wish to thank my friends, through
the columns Of The Gazette, for help
ing me to win the trip, and also to
thank you for giving me the chance
to tour the park. I remain,
Very truly yours,
IVA COLE

ACCUSES THE ILLINOIS MAN OF
UTTERING a FALsEHooD.
VEHEMENT
GROWS
First Time in Political History that a
Presidential Candidate Has Attacked
= Man Running for Congress, It Is
Said.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Sept. 10
Heavy personal onslaughts on Speak
er Joseph G. Cannon were made today
by. William j. Bryan in the course of
his travels through Illinois. The
Democratic candidate attacked Mr..
Cannon from all sides. He charged
the speaker with being the favorite of
predatory corporations, with having
strangled reform legislation and with
having falsiied the facts with re-
gard to Mr.. Bryan's wealth. Mr.. Bry-
an bided his time before giving vent
to his %utterances, until he had reached
Speaker Cannon's congressional dis
trict about 8 o'clock this morning,
when a 1O-minutes' stay was made at
Toledo, Ills. A great crowd had as
sembled to hear him and the Nebras-
kan Immediately launched into his
philippe against the speaker. Nov
ing on from Toledo Mr.. Bryan repeat
led his remarks at Newton, Ills.
Not content with his statement at
these two places, the Democratic can
ldidate for president later on at Olney,
Ills, where he stayed for three hours,
openly accused the speaker of telling a
falsehood when the speaker estimated
Mr.. Bryan's wealth at a million dol
lars. 3
In great detail Mr.. Bryan gave fig
ures showing how his money had been
acquired from the day he entered con-
gress until the present time. He de-
MED emphatically that he was worth a
million dollars and fixed the amount
of his earthly possessions at $150,O00,
as the extreme limit. He had come by
1t honestly, he said, through saving
a portion Of his congressional salary
and from receipts derived from lee
lures and writing. He demanded that
Cannon be as frank as himself and tell
1.-The public whether he had made any
money through lecturing and writing
! and what extent his money making
had been hampered by strict attention
Ito public duties.
Not since the campaign began hal
Mr.. Bryan spoken with such We
|hemence and it is said to be the hrst
time that q presidential candidate evel
went out OF his way to attack . can
didate for congress.

Judge E. F. Colborn, president of the

tatlve Howell, asking them to take up
the matter of setting apart a congress

are found the natural bridges and the

The letter points out the fact that forty
acres, which the president has set aside
Tor the purpose, are entirely inadequate.

pared by IL. l.. a. Culmer, the artist.

gressiOnal delegation. This map gives

ship instead of forty acres. Among other
things the letter says:
This reservation is wholly insufficient.
Forty acres could not cover the bridges
and will afford little protection At
least congressional township should be
set apart, to cover the bridges alone.
A national park should be established
of sufficient area to cover everything
in that region worth preserving from van
