HARTMAN STOCK WAS HlGREF
SECURITIES MADE SENSATIONAL
GAINS AND HELD THEM.
Volume Of Business Amounted to !,
100000 Shares Largely Stocks In
Which He Was Interested

New York, Sept. 1.-Two belief
concerning the death Of Edward II
Hartman came to be accepted as factl
FIRST, that his great railroad organi
cation will not be disturbed; second
that he was a victim Of cancer.
That the financial world had thor
oughly discounted the great mans
death and dissipated all fear Of .
panic was attested by one of the most
remarkable scenes in the history o.
the New York stock exchange. There
instead Of . downward movement Of
stocks, a sensational and spectacular
advance occurred, while in London
and Berlin railroad and industrial
securities showed unusual strength
In all quarters. paradoxical as It may
seem, the so.called Hartman stocks
were strong.
The volume Of business was amor
mous-well over 100000 shares and
to this vast amount the better known
Hartman stocks, namely Union Pa
cific common and Southern Pacific
alone contributed over .one-third, while
other properties in which the late
magnate was more remotely interested
added probably as much more to the
sum total.
The day resulted in complete rout
Of the short interests, which was prob
ably more extensive than even the
best informed had imagined.

bad In around the pit Of my thumbs

Topeka, Sept. 9.--The preliminary
hearing Of Mrs. Stella Barclay and
Joseph Gentry for kidnapping Marian
Bleakley In Topeka last month wai
called before Judge Simon Of the city
court. When court adjourned at noon
the hearing was not half over
There was little brought out during
the morning additional to that which
has alerady been published The
drivers of the kidnapping motor car ad'
mitted, however, that they knew they
were in kidnapping case when they
saw Gentry come to the waiting car
with the baby. They contended that
they were afraid to notify the police
because of a huge revolver that Gen.
try carried. Although Mrs Barclay
was with the party all the time 1t was
Gentry who was the chief in the entire
enterprise.
Proved the Assault.
DR.. H. H. Keith testified that he had
been called and treated Clarence Bel
KNAPP, who had been slugged in the
kidnapping. He testified that Belknap
had been struck three times with a
"blunt instrument.
Charles Ross, who drove the motor
car which was used in the kidnapping,
testified that in the motor car to To-
peka were Gentry and a man and q
woman he did not know.
Another woman, declared to be
the divorced wife Of J. N. Gentry, the
Kansas City detective, was brought IN
to the kidnapping case during the testi-
mony taken in the preliminary hear
ing. W. N. Cloughty, owner Of a gar
age in Kansas City, declared the sec
ond woman to be the wife of the Kan
sas City detective. She went to the
Bleakley home with Mrs. Barclay, It is
alleged.
All Must Stand Trial.
All of the prisoners were bound over
to the district court on charges OF
Kidnapping and assault with intent to
kill except David Gregg, the Topeka
lawyer, whose bond was reduced to
$500 and against whom the single
charge Of kidnapping now stands.
Mrs. Barclay and Capt. F, H. Tillotson
gave bond in the sum of $4,000. Cen
try is still held here, having been un.
able to give bond.
It is not believed that the kidnapers
will come to trial before the January
term Of court.

Your Work and Your World.

You are never worth much until
some one needs you. Happiness de.
ponds on being useful, or, at least, be.
lfeving that we are. The superfuous
person is always in danger. He is out
of place in a universe so ordered that
its perfection depends on each one
taking his place and doing his work.
There never was normal life of
which it could not be truly said that
the world had need Of him.
It is better to make the vain mans
error of thinking that the fate of the
world hangs in suspension, dependent
on your existence, than to fly to the
opposite extreme and to lie inert, be.
Iieving that it makes no difference
whatever whether you are alive or
not, whether you do your work or not.
The value of any life depends much
on its sense of being essential to all
lives.

Queer Disposal of the Dead.

The Sese islanders have attained
peculiar notoriety in Uganda because
of secret society called the Bachi-
chi, which is not burial society. al
though its members take deep and
intelligent interest in all deaths and
burials. In the more retired villages,
although greatly discouraged by the
British authorities, it is said to be still
the custom for the sorrowing relatives
to bear the body of the deceased
wrapped in bark on a rough bier to
some forest thicket, desolate ravine or
other unfrequented spot, where it is
left unburied by the bearers who
never revisit the place again. The
Bachichi, who are denizens of a neigh.
boring village and distant relatives of
the deceased, avoid the necessity of
burial or cremation and show their re-
spect for the deceased by simply eat
ing him.-National Magazine.

PAINT EVERY YEAR.
No One Wants to Do It, But Some
Paint will Wear Ne Longer.

When you have a job of painting
done you don't expect to have it done
over again very soon. But to make
a lasting job, several things must be
taken into consideration-the proper
time to paint-the condition of the sur
face-the kind of materials to use, etc.
All these matters are fully covered in
the specifications which can be had free
by writing National Lead Company,
1902 Trinity Building, New York,
and asking for Houseowner's Paint
ing Outfit No. 40. The outfit also in.
cludes a book of color schemes for
both interior and exterior painting,
and simple instrument for detecting
adulteration in the paint materials.
The outfit will solve many painting
problems for every houseowner.
Meantime while buying paint see that
every white lead key bears the famous
Dutch Boy Painter trademark, which
is an absolute guarantee of purity and
quality. If your paint dealer cannot
supply you National Lead Company
will see that some one else will.

Future Ideal Town.

In the ideal town of the future, az
pictured by Sir Oliver Lodge, the
houses will have gas for heating by
open fires and for cooking, and cleo
tricity for lighting. The gas, pro-
duced from the coal at the mine, will
be sent long distances through pipes,
as water is now distributed. It is
hoped that the experiment will be tried
soon, the burning of crude coal in town
being absolutely forbidden, and at least
two English towns are already consid-
ering the plan. The publication OF
the air is one of the greatest needs in
the Improvement of the conditions of
city life.

THE TWO SIDES OF HISTORY.
Writer Evidently Not Fond of
Subject.

History is running account of how
King Somebody-or-other either did OF
did not get to certain place, which
nobody ever heard of, before King
Somebody-else got there, from which
we are usually supposed to conclude
that it would have made quite a differ
ence whether he did not not.
Like nearly everything else, history
has two sides. The history of the
Garden of Eden depends upon wheth-
er it is related by a man or a wom-
an. The history of the American rev.
olution reads quite different in Eng
lish books from the way it reads in
our own books The history of the
civil war depends upon which side of
the Mason and Dixon line you happen
to be sitting when you write it.
History is bore, not only because
you are unacquainted with the people
who figure in it, but because it repeats
itself-Life.

SERMON ETTE.


canst thou by searching find
OUT God? canst thou find out
the Almighty unto perfection?"
!. eucn was the question pro.
pound by Zophar the Mama
tnlte in his controversy with
Job, and II is the question which
comes some time or other to
every seeking heart.
Esdras was troubled by the
mysteries of God and souqht to
fathom the infinite. How hope
less was the task! And rest
and quiet could not come to his
heart until the angel of God had
come and led him to realize that
he could not do more than to
rest content with the thought
that God was, and was re-
warder OF them that diligently
seek him.
Esdras was troubled, as was
David Of old, by the prosperity
OF the wicked. He knew that
the misery Of his people, the
Jews, was the result of sin, but
the question arose in his heart:
Are not the people Of the world
transgressors OF Gods law also,
and are not they the masters of
the Jew? Where was the JUS
tice Of it all?
But he forgot, like many 9th.
ers OF Gods children, that it is
"the son whom the Father
chasteneth." They who are not
of the household live and work
and reap and sow and pass away
without special care or discip-
line at the hands Of the Father,
but not so those who have
yielded their hearts and lives to
God and come int9 the house
hold of faith where God. is
Father and Jesus Christ is elder
brother. Then begins new re-
Iationship of love and care
which Is no more strongly mani
fest than In the clustering
which comes, 1t is thus that
the gold is tried out and the
dross destroyed. It is thus that
the life is purified and made fit
to abide In the presence Of the
Father and to enjoy the bless
ings of the eternal home.
