NE WORK, Nov. 5-There are indi-
cations of a creeping bull market, ("
small net gains being made in many
stocks, but not any large aggregates in
the market. While there is good
strength here and there. evidences of
weakness continue elsewhere. These
operations are expected to continue
during the interim between now and
the resumption Of the bull movement
on a larger scale. So slow and gradual
is the uplifting process. attended by
such weak spots here and there as TO
cause caution, that the public win prob
ably discover a little late in the game
that the market has run away from it.
Bull pointers are given out first on
one stock and then another. 1t is stated
today that Southern Pacific viii be used
as the leader in the next bull move

placed on a per cent dividend basis,
although there is little chance for such
action at the next dividend meeting.
Great Northern ore also has It's
friends. Reference is frequently made
10 the action of the directors with re-
gard TO dividend in December, and here
also there are expectations Of an in
creased distribution to shareholders.
Colorado Fuel IS being referred To as

Of deferred dividends, but the story mas

is partially attributed to the increase OF

Short Interest in U. P. and Reading.
There is evidently a short interest in
Union Pacific, and also in Reading, for
both OF these stocks were in demand IN
the loan crowd. Union Pacific surprised
its friends by a sharp rally, gaining 2

steadily. This fact furnished a tonic

NO SUMMER SCHOOL AT
UNIVERSITY THIS YEAR.

Norman, Okla, May 1.-THE faculty
of the university of Oklahoma regrets
that it has to announce the suspen
sion of the summer school for the pres
ent year. For financial reasons it
has been found impossible to make
provision for carrying on this work
1t is hoped, however, that plans may
be made so that the work will be re-
sumed next year and the summer ses-
sion will become a regular part of
the work of the university.
The suspension of the summer
school will make it possible for a
number of the professors of the uni
versity to visit various teachers in
stitutes throughout the state. Pro
fessor Henry Meier of the university
extension committee, will be glad to
hear from any who are desiring to
make arrangements for special lee
lures or addresses at teachers institu-
tes or other educational gatherings
during the summer

JURY TO DECIDE
IF MAN IS DEAD
Attempt to Collect Insurance BY
Widow of Legally Dead Man
Developes Interesting Case

Spokane Wash, May 17.-Whether
August snyder, declared legally dead
by the supreme court of Washington
died, in contemplation of law, at the
beginning or the end of seven years
is a point which jury in the Spo-
kane county superior court will be
called upon to decide in the suit by
his widow, Tena Butler, divorced and
remarked. against the Independent
Order of Foresters, to recover $1,000
on an insurance policy, upon which
she paid premiums for three years.
If the jurors decide that Snyder was
dead at the beginning of the seven
years, Mrs. Butler will be entitled to
recover If they say he died at the
end of that period she cannot recover
because of non-payment of premiums
the last four years.
The case has been heard three
times in the superior court here and
has been appealed thrice to the su-
preme court. Judge William A.
Huneke, before whom the original
suit came for trial, decided the court
had no jurisdiction. The supreme
court reversed this opinion. AT the
second trial, before Judge E. II. Sui
livan, the jury disagreed. The su-
preme court sent the case back TO this
county, and at the third bearing Judge
II. l.. Kennan held that Mrs. Butler
was estopped. The court dismissed
the case on the ground that when the
woman secured a decree of divorce
from Snyder TO marry Butler, she ad-
mitted that her first husband was liv-
ing. Judge Kennan took the position
that if Snyder were dead there would
have been no necessity for the di-
vorce, and that if living his bene-
ficiary could not recover on the policy
When Snyder disappeared, about
seven years ago, thorough search
was made by Mrs. Snyder, who was
aided by the local lodge, but not
trace of the man was found. Mrs.
Snyder paid the premiums for three
years an then discontinued payments
Afterward she obtained a divorce on
the ground OF desertion and married
again.

ROMANCE ATTENDS
THIS MARRIAGE
After Termination of Unhappy Union
Oklahoma Woman Weds Her
Former Sweetheart.

Spokane, Wash, May 17.-Back Of
the simple announcement of the mar
riage of Mrs. Laura A. Elliott of Du-
rant, Okla, and Harry Allen of Cash
mere, at the home of Rev. W. A.
Stevenson in Wenatchee, Wash, west
of Spokane, is a little romance that
had its beginning near Pueblo. Colo,
more than Is years ago.
Mrs. Allen, who was then Miss West
and Allen met there in the fall Of
1898, when the young swain pressed
his suit so persistently that he won
the fair Laura's heart also her prom
Use to become his wife. However, the
fates decreed otherwise and several
years afterwards she met and wed
Mr. Elliott Their union was not
happy one and the aid of the court
was invoked to undo the knot
In the meantime, Allen came to
Washington, established himself at
Cashmere, Wash, where he became
one of the most active members of
the Bachelor club. He learned
short time ago that the "one woman"
was free and their correspondence re-
suited in Mrs. Elliott going to Wen
atchee, where they were married.
Mr.. and Mrs. Allen will make their
home on Mission Greek ranch, where
the bridegroom has a cosy cottage,
covered with vines, in the midst of an
orchard, in which the trees. are thick
with fragrant apple blossoms.
