New York, Aug. 14.-After a brief
show of the hesitancy at the opening
today in which small fractional losses
were general, the market turned front
and rose in a frequent n buoyant
manner until almost every stock of
market influence vas ruling between
/ and , points above yesterdays clos
ing.
The bulls were ~agrceably surprised
with the comparative stcadincss of
prices at the opening despite the
h%eaviness of the London market and
the veal closing here yesterday. The
stability Of Union Pacific disconnected
the shorts, expectation of a sharp re-
action in the stock market being en-
tcrtained owing to the pressure
against it in London, where it was
down G a point.
Except for Il decline in the first few
minutes in Union Pacific, the sub
scqucnt rise in the stock was almost
continuous until it reached 21S1a or
2fS& beyond where it left off yes
terday. Reactions which amounted to
a point at times had only a moderate
effect on the general market and
seemed to serve as q new basis to start
renewed manipulation. The preferred
stock showed the effect of heavy real
ling sales and ruled over , points be.
low yesterdays closing at n period.
Along toward the end of the day pro
fessional operators who were rcluc-
tant to carry stocks over Sunday be-
was some recessions running to a
point, notably in Union Pacific, the
offerings were comparatively we'll
taken and the bidding up process was
being resumed in various quarters at
the close which was rather confused
and irrapu1ar C1ocinr etockS.

YOUTH ACCIDENTALLY 4,
KILLS HIS CHUM
Henry Rickner, aged IL, Shoots and
Kills Arthur Bcrnor at Bismarck.

N Last "Wednesday evening about
half past seven O'Clock, at the resi-
dence of G. w. Parker In Bismarck,
Henry Rickner, aged about II years,
accidentally shot and killed Arthur
Berner, a lad of about 10 years.
From the evidence at the inquest.
which was held during the night, II
appears that the boys, who were
staying at Mr.. Parker's, had fin
ished their supper and gone into the
front room, leaving the other men,
bers OF the family in the dining
room. Young Rickner was sitting
by table and had the baby on his
lap, and young Berner was standing
at the table selecting u record to
place In the graphophone. Rickner
picked up a pistol that was lying on
the table and In some way-he
couldn't tell how il was done-the
pistol was dischasged, the ball strik-
ing young Berner In the breast, In
fiicting n wound from which he
shortly expired.
DR.. J. II. Yount Of Doe Run, the
Coroner, was notified and went at
once to Bismarck, arriving there a
few hours after the accident oc'
CURED. He determined to hold the
inquest that night, so he phoned ia
Pennington for Sheriff London, who
arrived at Bismarck about II O'Clock.
A jury was summoned and the In
quest proceeded with. The verdict
was accidental killing.

ABOUT THAT CHARITY PLAY.

The young folks who have been
rehearsing for the play "Hunkers'
Corners" to be given for the benefit
of charity, have been so greatly
handicapped by illness and bad
weather that postponement of the
date has been found unavoidable
The play will be given during the
month OF February, and next week IS
papers will contain definite an
nouncement of the date. The play
is good one, and the young people
are working hard to get 1t In good
shape, and the audience can depend
upon thoroughly enjoyable produc-
tion, unlike anything ever before
produced by home talent In Farm
ington.
