u. S. STEEL DOMINATED.
Expectation of Gold to South Ameri-
ca Raised Money Rates.

New York. July 24.-U. S. Steel
and Union Pacific have divided the
dominant influence on the stock mar
ket during the week with varying eff
feet towards strength and reaction
Z. S. steel has receded on growing be-
lief that the dividend would remain
unchanged at the directors meeting
next Tuesday. The approach of the
conclusion of the tariff revision tends
to halt the speculation to see what
response may follow from the gem
eral outside speculative demand.
How far the speculative demand
until now has been in anticipation of
strong market after the passage Of
the tariff bill is a question that can
be answered only by the future action
of the market. Time money rates
worked higher this week with the
large outgo of gold to South America
and the expectation of growing de-
mand for money.

appeal to the Well-Informed in every
walk of life and are essential to permanent
success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
taxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
It acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co.. only, and for sale by all leading drug

/ Washington, July 24.-A long and
plalntlVe< cry, like that of a cat in dis
tress, came from somewhere in the
vicinity OF the desk of Representative
mlttee on appropriations.
'Meow-W-w-w" The cry was
sharp and evidently prompted by
fright.
Great Jehosophat, where's that
cat? exclaimed the astonished Mr..
Tawney. Getting down on ''aIl fours'
he found under his desk d fancy
green and white basket. AS he lifted
it and deposited it upon the table
there was a scratching inside which
changed to purring as soon as the
cover of the basket was raised.
On a carpet of cotton sat a Maltese
kitten-au fluffy and round as a ball.

Bill Kercher of the Kansas Topics
department of the Kansas City Jour

about one of LincoIn'S speeches in
which the famous war president re-

Secretary Martin of the State His

Brown County World wrote to Her
bert asking for information about the
extract from the speech in order that
he might get the Grafton entire for the
archives of the society. Secretary
Martin wrote a pressing and urgent
appeal for help. Herbert replied that
the article had been copied and that
unintentionally he had failed to give
credit. He referred Secretary Martin
to Kercher. When Martin came to
Kercher anxiously inquiring about
this great Lincoln speech the latter
gravely referred him to the shelves
of his own library on the fourth floor
Kercher had found it. The joke,
however, is not on Secretary Martin
to any great extent, for he has thou

Seattle Times.-Mr. and Mrs. Au-
gustus T. Knudsen, representing the
Hawaiian commission Of the depart
ment of the interior at the Alaska
Yukon-Pacifc Exposition, gave a most
exclusive and thoroughly delightful de-
ception and ball last evening at the
Washington State Building on the ex-
position grounds. The surroundings
were never before made more attrac-
tive and the Hawaiian decorations were
particularly effective.
At the foot of the stairs large arch
was formed of green's, with "Aloha J"
in the center made of yellow Hawaiian
flowers. The stairs were banked with
palms, bay trees and tropical plants.
A quartet of Hawaiian singers with
the picturesque leis about their necks
sang Hawaiian airs during the early
part of the evening.
An aisle made by the pretty leis in
tertwined with green's, separated the
receiving line from the main body of
the hall.
Large American flags, with Hawaiian
flags, held in place by A.-Y.-P. Expo
sition pennants, were draped about the
balcony, where a buffet supper was
served.
The melodious strains of the Hawai-
ian orchestra seemed particularly adapt
ed to the dances last evening and the
decorations were harmonious with the
brilliant uniforms of the Army and
Navy officers who, with their stats
were all present. The ladies were
never more handsomely gowned and as
several of the nobility of Honolulu and
a number of the Hawaiian girls were
among the guests the affair was given
an unmistakable air of distinction.
Mrs. Augustus F. Knudsen wore g
beautiful gown of embroidered blue
satin, trimmed with pearl passementerie
and pearl fringe; diamonds.
