IMPORTANT
MATTERS CONSIDERED
BY THE CITY COUNCIL
From TUESDAYS Daily.

Ionl uCoudg 1oAs@
Messrs. Kent L. Eldred, j. G. Hys-
song and l.. D. Beckwith, representing
the Elks Lodge, appeared before the
city council last night. and, on behalf
of the Parker Amusement company of
Abilene, Kansas, asked waiver of the
usual license fee for the various shows
in connection with the carnival to be
held here next week on the ground
that the proceeds would be devoted
to charity. Judge Eldred as spokes-
man for the committee stated that the
net income from the weeks entertain
ment would go into the charity fund
of the Elks lodge and the city would
In the end be a gamer from the carni-
val. Monday evening there will be a
parade and public band concert and
the members of the council were cor
daily invited to participate in the
former; Mr. Beckwith promising to
provide them with automobile accom-
modations OF they would indicate their
acceptance. In view of the fact that
the revenue to be derived from the
carnival was to be used in the COM
munity for charitable purposes Alder
man w. T. Wallace moved that the IL
cense fees required by ordinance in
such cases be collected from the Elks
lodke and then refunded to Its treas
urer. The motion was unanimously
adopted.
A communication was read from
Warden lyman of the penitentiary ask
ing the cooperation of the members
OF the street. alley and bridge commit
tee in the work of substituting an S.
inch drainage pipe for the 3-inch
water at the Soda springs. Mr.. Ty-
nan stated that he had secured per-
mission from the Denver & Rio Grande
railroad company to install the pro-
posed drainage pipe under it's tracks
and that there would be no opposition
to the proposition from any source SO
far as he had been able to ascertain.
The present facilities for drainage at
the Soda springs are inadequate to
meet the situation, especially after a
heavy rain, and it was generally con-
ceded that something ought to be done
to remedy the trouble. At the close
of a somewhat exhaustive discussion
OF the matter It was voted to refer the
street. alley and bridge committee
with power to act.

from B. F. Baker. president OF the Ma

Accident With Car.

DR.. and Mrs. M. L. Babcock suffered
an accident with their Overland touring
car Sunday afternoon which might have
resulted seriously. About half mile
from Ovid the car skidded in turning a
corner and the left rear wheel was COM
pletely demolished. Owing to the rate
at which the car was going it was i'm
possible to stop it Immediately after
che wheel gave way, and the result was
that the car ran for quite distance. If
it had not been for the Doctors presence
of mind the car would undoubtedly have
turned over. There were five people in
the car and it seems miraculous that
none were injured. Inside of ten min
utes five or six cars were there and
friends brought the party home.

Tuesday morning, and as result the
handcar was completely demolished.
The foreman who has charge of the
section west of town had sent crew
west, while he remained with a crew
which was working in town. The
local freight had taken the siding at
Red Lion for No. l3, and when
the crew saw the block signal drop,
they thought it was caused by the local.
The engineer on No. 13 blew the whis-
tie, but as the wind was blowing, the
section crew did not hear the passenger
until it was the distance of four rails
behind. The crew jumped but did not
have time to remove the handcar from
the track, and it was thrown into the
ditch and broken into pieces. The en-
gine was not damaged.

CAUSE
BIG SCARE IN
WALL STREET

New York, July 27.-Forced selling
of stocks without regard for what they
would bring made yesterday in many
respects the worst day Wall street has
had since 1907. The leading active
stocks did not fall as far as on one
of two previous occasions this year,
but preferred and inactive securities
were slaughtered In a fashion which
even the panic of 1907 did not excel.
More than twenty such shares lost
between three and thirty points and
drops of three and four points between
sales were Transactions
were large, but by no means of rec
ord variety, and one of the most dis
concerning features of the day was the
way in which stocks fell ON small of
ferings.
Brokers asserted they rarely had
seer a market in which so few per-
sons wanted to buy at any price and
this utter lack of buying power was
one of the chief causes for the vio-
lent smash in prices. The main cause,
however, appeared to be a widespread
movement on the part of banks and
other lenders to call in loans and close
out speculative accounts.

STATE MONEY
To BE COTTON
SPECULAT0R

New York, July 27.-Stock Exchange
gambling is believed to have swallow
ed up most of the fortune In bonds
and securities which Erwin Wider,
missing cashier of the New York
agency Of the Russo-Chinese bank,
stole from the strong box Of the for
eign financial concern. Wider is said
to have plunged In cotton.
1t is known that Wider had an ac-
count with one of the brokerage houses
most prominent on the short or
bear" side Of the cotton market dur
ing all the long fight waged against the
western plunger and his associates in
the alleged pool to advance the price
Of that staple.
Wider's method of stealing, like all
of the present day, was extremely sim
pie. Each package of securities he
stole from the strong box of the bank
he replaced with one made up to re-
semble 1t, but filled with ordinary
newspaper. This practice he continued

what sardonic grins he looked on as
this box of worthless paper was
solemnly locked each night, put in
charge Of two messengers chained to
each other, followed by a third armed
with revolvers, was carried from the
bank to tie safety deposit vault and
with equal ceremony returned each
morning.
The bank formally reported the mat
ter to the district attorney Of the
ty. He will begin an investigation at
once and, it is said, will summon all
Of the members of the Stock Exchange
who had any dealings with Wider.
Investigation of the affairs Of the
bank was followed by rumors that as
the $4,000 which Wider at first was
accused of having embezzled had been
swollen to $6S0,000, SO the latter
amount had been increased to even a
vaster sum.
1--WE don't know where we are at"
said julius Goldman, attorney for the
bank.
George w. Ely, secretary of the New
York Stock Exchange, said no com
plant had been made to the exchange
by the bank and no action had been
taken by the exchange concerning the
reported" speculations of Wider with
Stock Exchange houses.
The case Of Wider, 1t was learned,
had been presented to the Stock Ex-
change governors about a year ago by
a broker fearful of mourning the anger
of the exchange In handling the ac-
count of a $1,000 a. year bank en-
ployee. On that occasion the exchange
gave a clean bill of health to Wider on
the ground that he was a cashier"
and as such was an officer Of the bank
and not q clerk The exchange per-
mits Its members to gamble for bank
officers, but not for clerks.
