MARKET NEVIS
NEW YORK STOCKS.


 Nv York, Oct 1s.--The frequent Fluctuations in the prices of stocks to- day gave the market an appearance of gist. irregularity and feyerishness.
 Some of the movements were trace able to specail influences, but the ac- ticn of the market as a whole was regarded as a normal sequence of last weeks market.
 The more frequent and narrow movements today represented the iy- ing down of the influence which caus. ed the wider and more sustained movements of last week The violent rebound in prices of the latter part of last week was due manifestly to the covering operations of q large out standin gshort interest.
 The rebound was extended at the outset today but the reduction which had occurred in the uncovered short interest and by consequence in the potential demand for stocks, made themselves quickly felt.
 Bonds were irregular Total sales, par value, $3,513,000.
 United States bonds unchanged on call.

 Bullish sentiment was fostered by continued good spot demand and by the general tendency to shade crop estimates.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago, Oct .1s.-Wheat prices succumbed today to the colossal worlds shipments, December closing }. to 7s lower Other grains ruled slightly higher at the close, although starting with bearish figures. Pro visions followed a drop in live hogs and finished weak.
 Bullish Speculators crowded the wheat market up, advancing Decem- Der A to 3-S and May 7-S, but were not able to hold it at that top notch, the near months dropping A to 7-S below, and the more distant falling k under Saturdays closing figures.
 The bearish sentiment. which coun- teracted temporary advance, was largely due to the spectacular world s shipments, which broke the record at 15.104 ,000 bushels, compared with H. 712,000 bushels year ago. Decem- Der grain closed at the lowest point of the day.
 Corn quotations, while having a small range. were generally upward. and trading showed activity
 Oats were steady all day.
 Lower prices in the pork on the hoof governed the provision market and trading was of small volume and without feature. Closing prices for January products ranged from 1-2 lower for pork to 5c lower for lard and ribs.

there in time for the Christmas
holidays, making the journey from
Velva in thirteen days. Elias. the

The young wife of Mr.. VIM.
Ruminson, living two miles west

Friday evening from Bright's dis
ease. The funeral was held on
Sunday, interment being made on
the farm. This is a very sad case,
and Mr.. Ruminson has the heart
felt sympathy Of all in his hour of
sorrow. The couple had been
married less than a year. and the
bride was not quite seventeen
years old.

GENERAL NEWS
FROM EXCHANGES
Two deer found with inter
locked horns, One
was dead.
Underwood Hiner.

We have all read the story Of
the deer with interlocking horns,
and many of us have seen the
skeletons of such animals mounted
but it remains for Mclean county
to go one step farther and produce
the animals u the flesh. While
hunting rabbits in the Hancock
bottoms the first Of the week
Hugh Solenberger and a COM
panion discovered two buck deer
in the last scene OF their earthly
career, with horns locked beyond
all hope Of the animals ability to
pull themselves loose. One deer
was already dead, having been
killed by coyotes, but its COM
panion was alive, and upon being
released managed to hobble to
cover. The boys report that
numerous deer are being killed by
wolves this winter, the deep drifts
rendering the former an easy prey.
The school board Of Weller dis
trict will hold it's regular meeting
next Tuesday. After the usual
routine business is transacted, the
question Of submitting to the
voters the plan of a bondissue for
new school house will come up
for discussion. Public sentiment
Jas expressed seems to favor the
plan, and the board will probably
permit the electors Of the district
Ito decide the matter.

of a bill to amend the constitution,
providing for the location of a

ness of its introduction: and
Whereas, the State Superinten-

cation Of a normal school, in the

Max Enterprise.

Mrs. Will Huntington died at
her home east of town last Friday
and was buried Sunday. The
cause of her death was Bright's
disease.
A-sad death occurred Wednes-
day when A.. B. Rowe from south
Of Douglas surrendered to the
grim messenger while being brot
to this place to take the train for
the Bismarck hospital where he
was to receive treatment for
stomach trouble. The fact that
there had been no train service on
the branch when it was considered
necessary by the doctor in charge
to send him TO the hospital made
it necessary to move him overland
by team. The trip proved too
much for his enfeebled condition
and he died when within about a
mile and half from town. The
body was taken to Freitag &
Freitag's to be prepared for burial
and his nearest relatives who
reside at Carpio are expected to
arrive today to take charge of the
same.

ENDS HER LIFE
in CHICAGO
Alice Law Considered
a very bright woman
Engineer

MISS Alice Law, whose mother
and sisters live near Wilton. com
mitted suicide last week in Chicago.
She was in the employ of a
Chicago publishing firm as an
editor. She left the following
letter:
ITO all whom it does not CON
cern--I am ending my life because
J. am seized with an acute disin-
clination to live, aud | believe L
have an absolute right to end my
life if l wish. The. struggle is too
hard. There is to much monotony;
too much weariness and not
enough art, music. recreation and
rest"
A Wilton correspondent writes
thus of the woman who suicided
in Chicago and whose people live
near that place:
Miss Law was unluckey in love.
She was to have been married
November 25th to young Hun
garian doctor in Chicago, the frat
man she ever cared for in the
least. 1t had been arranged ii 20
Miss Law and former chum. who
was Miss Anna Schubert and is
now Mrs. Frenerick Weihofen,
should have double wedding.
But the Hungarian proved in
constant. The match was broken
off just before they were to have
been married, and Miss Laws
treasured love story was hopelessly
lost.
The story of the young woman
is tragic She was one of very
few woman engineers graduated
from the technical colleges. Her
career at Purdue university was
brilliant one. She was known
from coast to coast as a brilliant
technical writer.
II have forced myself to this,''
she wrote. Il love music, I love
color, warmth, beauty, daintiness
and the delights that fasciuate all
womankind. but my dear. | am
condemned everlastingly to CON
