That old veteran, Geo. A. Blackwell,
of Riverside, who has resided in Okla

among the pioneers, spent Tuesday in
Oroville. Time is handling Mr. Black
well with care, as he looks no older
than when the writer first met him a
dozen years ago.
w. w. Scott, a resident of the Ellie

Monday Mr.. Scott recently pulled in
from q threshing run and reports crops
much better in that neighborhood than
reported earlier in the season. One
piece on Mr. SCOTS home place yield
ed better than 40 bushels per acre.
Floyd Wickersham returned home
this week from trip to Spokane and
Republic. He reports that Republic
has taken on new lease of life. Min
ing is active, large mill is to be
erected at once, and the town has an
air of thrift and hustle. Mr.. Wicker
sham believes that the place is on the
eve of boom.
Some unknown party broke out a
window light in Geo. Devons store
some time during Monday night and
distracted pair of 81 shoes from the
window display. 1t was shoes the ma
rauder was out of, for not another ar
ticle was missing. Any individual pa
rading around wearing a new pair of
workingmen's brogans is liable to be
nabbed on suspicion.
1t will be seen that large amount OF
school lands in the upper part of the
county are advertised for sale. Won

be the next congressman from this dis.

had the doing of it, instead of the ig.

would get more money out of it, and tC
hell with the state, anyhow.

The result of the gathering of this

! pARP DECLINE IN MANY STOCKS avy Selling Is Met When
 Offerings Are Made ARS ARE VERY ACTIVE. scuIators Are Hesitating About Car ryins the Advance Any Further When Opposition So Strong Is
 Shown in Market.

New York, April 6.=The demand for
 cks today encountered an amount of
 brings that overbore the balance and
 Tried the price movement backwards.
 e extent of the recent advance evil
 htly was in itself a main incentive
 ptive profit taking in large part. The
 bfessional bears were alert to take
 vantage of the wavering appearance
 the market and to help on the de-
 ne with short selling and with of ling down of prices. The addition bm day to day of new stocks to the It which have risen above the prices
 lched Tn the advance in the latter
 Tt of last year,-brings the market
 a stage which Is recognized as crit bl as between the alternatives of re- ttion of further advance.
 The arrival of the movement at the
 treme of a former stage after long ntrary movement finds 8 waiting &C., unt that has been held through the terval for a chance to liquidate with 1t loss. All previous purchases thus me in for a profit on any further hvance with an incentive, in conse- lence, to sell. New forces of improve ent must be relied upon to carry @ advance through such a stage.
 The average price of the most ac- We stocks on Monday reached about level touched on the sustained ad- ance which set in last year after the residential election. Some of the most bnspicuous stocks have risen well oove that and some are far short of |. but the averages as usually com derable body of professional traders stocks which relies upon the charts t price movements hesitate to extend in face of this condition ntil the market has given clear indi- ation of it's new impetus.
 New impelilng factors are not many [ important today, but the growing about carrying the specula- on forward left the market without lfficient supporting power to hold rices. Foreigners were disposed to ike profits as well as home spec lators. The fact that the present week i the stock market will end on Thurs ay added to the disinclination to ex- end speculative commitments.

Killed Bv Slster-In-LaW.

Roanoke, Va, April GA special from Buena Vista says Henry w. Amos of that place was today shot and killed by his sister-in-law, Mrs. William Campbell. Amos wife recently left
 him and went to the Campbell home to live with her sister. When Amos returned to Buena Vista today from Richmond he called at the Campbell residence and sought a reconciliation
 with his wife. The latter refused to go with her husband and a quarrel followed. Mrs. Campbell fired several shots from a revolver at Amos, none of them taking effect. She then se- cured shotgun and discharged it at Almost at close range, the contents taking effect in Amos body, killing him. It is said Amos was not armed.
