MARKET
SHOWS signs Of
PROFESSIONALISM
(By Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-The stock
market today again demonstrated the
narrow professional rut into which
it has fallen. There was little trace
of anything beyond the reversal of
yesterdays operations. Traders who
bought yesterday attempted to sell
today and the list moved, therefore,
in a contrary direction to that of yes
terday The resumption of the hear
ings at Pittsburg in the government
suit to dissolve the Hartman rail-
road merger was viewed with some
concern as a possible source of some
sudden development unfavorable to
the market. Bonds were irregular.

PLACER HELPS QUARTZ MINING.

The placer deposits in the Man
haitian gulch and in the tributary
gulches are improving very rapidly
and with the better facilities being
installed for hosting the gravel 1t
will only be a short time until they
add materially to the bullion output
of the camp. The placer discoveries
have had stimulating effect on
quartz mining, not SO much by way
of new work on quartz lodges, as in
an aroused interest in the sources
from which the rich placer has come.
The quartz miner reasons that where
there is SO much rich placer there
must be lodges in the near vicinity
from which it came, and unless
something unforeseen happens there
will be more and deeper mining done
in the spring than has heretofore
been done in the camp.-Manhattan

In 1927 the Turkish feet was de-

fleets of Britain, France and Russia
took part in the operation.
In 1928 Greece was acknowledged
as a free and independent kingdom,
with king of its own.
For nearly century, Egypt, which
the Turk conquered in GAL, has been
more than name, and since 1882,
when the English occupied Pharaoh's
country after Arab Pasha's rebel
lion, the Turk has had practically
nothing to do with Egypt.

acknowledged the sultan as their
suzerain, but were defiantly indie

Their swift sailing dhows preyed
on the commerce of all Europe, and
from start to finish they seized many
thousands of white captives, many of
whom they ransomed, while others
they doomed to slavery
When asked to keep his piratical
subjects in order the sultan declared
himself helpless to do anything. The

1880.

The Terrible Turk" who may be
taken as typifying the empire of the
sultans, holds one record at least
which he is not likely to be deprived
of. He has won and lost more ter
ritory than any other nation.
| There was a time when the sultan
was the bugbear of the world. Even
little children in England shook in
their shoes when they heard his
name mentioned, and those people
who lived anywhere near him dared
not call their lives their own.
But at last the tide turned. The
Turk began to lose, and one great
misfortune followed another.
Spain was the first big bit of the
Turkish empire to break free. The
Moors, who were subjects and paid
tribute to the sultan, were driven
from province after province until at
length they were cooped up in the
solitary kingdom of Granada.
Theslast Moorish king to reign in
/ Spain was Boabdil-el-Chaco,o or Boab-
dill the Unlucky In 1912 Ferdinand
and Isabella, the king and queen of
Aragon and CASTLE, declared war on
him, and in 1892 he had to surren-
der everything.
Hungary, which now forms half of
the dual monarchy of the Emperor
Francis Joseph, was province of the
sultan for $50 years. Then it was
torn from him by the sword.
After this came the turn of the
czars. The Russians, whom he once
despised, have been the Turks worst
enemies. They have either robbed
him themselves or encouraged others
to rob him.
Peter the Great set the example,
but was not, on the whole, very sue
cessful in his wars against the Mos
lens. At one time the Turks could
have captured and massacred Peter
and his army but were frustrated by
the slave girl, Catherine, whom
Peter had married.
Catherine the Great tore the
Crimea from the unhappy Turk, to-
gether with thousands square miles
of territory along the shores of the
Saspian
In 1921 the Greeks, who had been
slaves of the sultans for many cen
turtles, rose in rebellion and drove
the Turks out of the country But
then the Greek leaders began tc
qaurrel among themselves, and civil
war followed. The Turk took the
opportunity to seize the country once
more
But the massacres and other hor.

hide Rustler comes to us this week
in the form of mid-winter special
edition. The paper contains sixteen
pages. every page being illustrated
with large half-tones and writeups

that Rawhide is fast coming to the

BLUE RIVER MOVES.
Change of Channel Leaves Manhattan
Two Miles From Stream.

Manhattan, Kan, Dec. 1.-Manhat-
tan, which, since it's founding, has
been at the confluence of the Blue
and the Kaw rivers. can no longer be
considered in that position. DR..
Blachly, the local weather observer,
and other old settlers, believe that
the main channel of the Blue will
now be two miles east of this city.
The recent food has cut a wide, deep
channel and even at a low stage of
the river a stream of water rs feet
wide is passing through the cut off.
The first indication that the river
was seeking a new channel was no.
tfced in the spring of 1908, when,
during the flood the rivers overfiowed
all the lowlands for several miles east
OF this city. When the water receded
a narrow channel had been cut across
the neck of land about a half mile in
Width between the two rive>s. On
account of the nature of tSxe soil for
nation, which is heavy black gum
DO, the water did not cut through the
ceeding rise of the rivers a deeper
and more clearly defined channel has
been cut away.
Three wagon bridges have been
built across the new stream, which
have been washed away as many
times, there being no bridge at all
at present, while the residents of this
end of Pottawatomie are clamoring
for relief from the commissioners on
account of being unable to do their
trading in Manhattan.
The forming of the new channel
has destroyed about forty acres of
valuable land belonging to John
Dempsey of this city, besides flooding
a considerable tract with each rise of
the Blue. The cut off has formed an
irregular shaped island, ranging from
half mile to mile and a half in
width, and about two miles in length.
Various names have already been
suggested for the island.

BEER OUTPUT DROPS.
kmount of Distilled Spirits Produced
Increases 6,OOe.0OO Gallons.

Washington. Dec. lit is estimated
that there will have been collected from
the special corporation excise tax by
July 1, 1910, $4,000, 900 and that an adj
ditional $4,000 GEO collectible for the
calendar year from January 1. 1909, to
December 81, 1909, will be collected sub
sequent to July 1, 1910, making the esti-
mate for the total amount of the col
lection for the fiscal year 1910, $25,000,-
900.
In this way Commissioner of Internal
Revenue Cabell, in his annual report
made public today, discusses the cor
poration tax law.
The internal revenue receipts for the
fiscal year were $246, PIP, 719, a decrease
of $5,453, 230 from last year, but the re-
ceipts for the first three months of the
current year $65, 176, 62S, increased $780,
657 over the same period a year ago.
TT is estimated" says the commits
sioner, that receipts from corporations
in 1910 will amount to $15,oo0,Oo0 and
from all other sources to $253, 100000,
making total of S26S, 000, 900. 1t is also
estimated that the receipts from cor
porations in 1911, will amount to $25,-
O00, 900 and from all other sources to
S255, OO0, 900, making total of $3.50, 000,-
900. During the last year there was
collected on distilled spirits $12S,315, ISL;
on fermented liquors $685. 97, and on
tobacco S51, S87,17S.''
Beer production has decreased and
tobacco and snuff manufacture has In
creased. There were 139,S91, 631 gallons
of distilled spirits produced during the
Gus year. The total estimated expense
of the service for the fiscal year ending
1911, is IS, 302, $40 including 100000 for
the CORPORATION tax.

STINK BALLS THROWN.
Audience Nearly Driven Out of -Four
Chicago Theaters.

Chicago. Dec. IA stencil COM
pounded seemingly of all known evil
odors pervaded four downtown thea
ters last night.
Performances at the Colonial. the
Grand, the Cort and the La Sale
play houses were given under diff
ficulties that were enlarged, rightly
or wrongly, to the efforts of strik-
ing bill posters.
In each theater balls giving forth
a nausecus smell were thrown or
dropped at nearly the same time of
the evening.
In no case was an audience dis
missed, but in each instance such an
outcome was averted narrowly.
The chosen hour of invasion in all
but once instance was 1880 O'Clock.
The exception was the Colonial,
where the odor came early and
stayed late. It was noticed in the
lobby by the first corners. Some
thought it sme1led like fresh paint on
canvas scenery Others thought its
faint was like paint with a quantity
of aged eggs added All agreed that
it was a compound to remember.
