Warfare May Occur in Your City
as No Time or Place Has
Been Too Sacred.

Having broken all records in the
big cities of the coast, which includes
San Francisco. Los Angeles, Port
land. Seattle. Tacoma and Vancouver
the great Sells-Fl Shows come to
Springfield for one days engagement
on August 25th.
The wonderful success which has
rewarded the proprietors of this
magnificent attraction this year may
be traced to two sources. In the
first place, the character of the per-
Torrance given is such as to return
full values for the money. In the
second place, these Western showmen
have become converts to the idea Of
popular prices.
For the nominal sum Of twenty
five cents it is possible to see this
great attraction in it's entirety. This
is something which has never before
been attempted in the history of the
big shows, and the results have more
than proved the truth of an argu
ment in its favor.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The advance in the figures for the
stock Of the District National Bank
which occurred at the meeting Of the
Stock Exchange yesterday was not con-
tinued today. The best selling price
yesterday was 137h. with the bid at
the close at 1913. and the asking price
at $50. Today there were no transac-
tions in the stock. The bid did not rise
above 1876, with the asking price UNI
changed.
The movement in this security is at
tributed in part at least to the ruriior
which has gained considerable circuia-
ton to the effect that it was intended
to increase the capital stock, which is
now 100000. to half a million, and
that the stockholders would be- given
an opportunity to take the new issue On
favorable terms.
The president of the bank. Robert n.
Harper, said today that individual stock
holders have spoken of the advlsablllty
of increasing the capital stock. but the
subject has never been taken UP by the
board of directors. and there is no pres
ent Indication that 1t will be. 1t was
possible that something OF the sort might
be done at some time, he added. but
that was all that could be said just now.
1t might be thought appropriate at the
time when the bank went into Its new
home which is being built on G street,
nearly opposite the present bank buaid-
ing but Mr.. Harper said that was mere
ly a Surmise of his own.
Lanston figured largely in the transac-
tions at the meeting today of the Stock
Exchange. and, in fact, the list would
have been slim one without the en-
tries OF the sales of this stock. The
range of the selling was narrow, being
confined to 93B and 93sa, with the Offering
at the close at the former level, while
the bid was cay.
The buying was by no means general.
