FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
A aEARIsH DAY. ~
News Received in Stock Exchange of 8
 Depressing Character.

New York. Sept. S.-Sentiment was distinctly bearish in the stock market today, and the downward movement of the preceding session was carried measurably further. There was little to counteract the array of unfavOrable factors which operated against the market yesterday and the same forces were influential today, being rein forced by additional news of like character. Several railroads, including Rock Island and St. Paul. reported shrinkages in net earnings for July. The effect of yesterdays decidedly un- favorable cotton crop report was heightened by the governments week ly weather review telling of the un- broken drought over large sections and fears of serious damage to the corn and cotton crops were instrumental in depressing the stock market. Still an other weakening feature was the con- tinued loss of cash by the banks. De- mands from the interior were heavy, and the loss by the banks on sub treasury operations so far this week RppToximates the entire surplus re- Rerve reported at the end of last week. The railroad stocks were heaviest as a class, although Amalgamated, Steel and a few other industrials showed weakness. Losses among the usual leaders extended to more than two points in some cases. Toward the close there was a rally which was

 Announcement by the underwriters that so per cent of Union Pacific's holdings of Southern Pacific had been subscribed for, assuring the success of the undertaking, may have played a part in bringing about the late rally. The result fell short of recent opti- niistiC predictions that virtually the whole amount would be taken, and Southern Pacific declined fractionally after the announcement to 89 3-8, the gears low. It was generally held, however. that the markets ability to absorb so per cent. of an offering of tss.

SEPTEMBER VOTE BEING EXAM
MED
Mr.. Pattangall Having It Done for
Various Reasons.

The ballots cast on Sept. 8 at the
special election for congressman Fl ON
the Third Maine district are being in
spected and tabulated at the state
house by a representative of William
R. Pattangall of Waterville, the Dem
ocratic candidate. who was defeated
by John A. Peters Of Ellsworth, his
Republican opponent, by 525 plural
ity. BY the provisions Of the revised
election laws, all ballots must be fol -
warded to the office of the secretary
of state Immediately after the elcc-
ton where they may be inspected by
interested parties. The work of in
spection will enquire about ten days.
This work is being done to civ
Mr. Pattangall a complete record of
his vote and get a line on the way
doubtful ballots were decided in va
rious towns. The canvass thus far
shows that the candidate broke about
even on decisions of election offic' ais
and that Mr.. Peters plurality should
be reduced somewhat.
The work is also being done to de.
termine how the new ballot law is
being observed by the towns Handl-
ing of the ballots may be of vital
Importance in coming elections ir
this state and a much stricter observ-
ance than can be found in the special
election will be necessary.

The October Stars.

The most conspicuous sta figure
in the southern sky is now the Great
Square of Pegasus, whose upper lett
hand star forms the lower limit of
the great constellation of Androricda.
In the southeast, below the Great
Square, we now see the long, faint
group Cotus, or the Sea Monster. But
the most striking object of this con-
stellation is the wonderful variable
star, Mira, which every eleven months
shines out with a brightness Tany
thousands of times greater than US
ual 1t may be remembered how con-
spicuous this object was for few
weeks last April, while now it Is only
of about the ninth magnitude. and so
is far too faint to be detected with
the eye. 1t is expected to reach its
greatest faintness on next November
20. after which 1t will again begin &c
steadily brighten.
But the most interesting arrivd! in
our evening heavens is undoubtedly
the beautiful planet Saturn, which
may be seen shining out of the east
at almost exactly the same height
from the ground as the bright AIDE
baran, the brightest of the stars OF
the Hyades. The planet is nov two
and one-half times brighter than the
star and its golden radiance con-
trasts strongly with the reddish cot
or of the latter body.
Toward the end of the month Mer-
curry approaches its greatest distance
east from the sun, but at this time
it will be so far south in. the sky
that it will always set less than one
hour after sunset, and so can scarce
ly be detected in the twilight glow.

holes and uneven places in the road
to see whether they make it easier
or harder for the wheels of loaded
wagon to go along. Study the kind
of footing that the two roads give
to the horses.
Now, study the same stretches of
road after a good rainstorm. You
will see that one road holds small
puddles, or pools, of water that keep
the road soft and so allow it to be
cut up by the wheels of the wagons
and the hoofs of the horses. How do
road builders keep water from gath
erng on the Travelled way of road?
Should the road slope to the side
bitches? How much higher should
the center or crown, of the road be
than the outside edges of the road?
Why do good bitches at the side of
the road help make the center of
the road better for hauling? What
happens when bitches get full of rub
Dish or weeds? When a ditch along
road holds water or collects it into
pools, how does this injure the road?

faces forward aud upright. They are
fastened together with braces. A pair
of horses are hitched to a chain fast
ened to the front half of the log.
Should these logs be drawn straight
down the road or should it be drag
ged at a slant so that a little of the
loose earth will slide toward the CEN
ter of the road? Should the dragging
be started next to the ditch, or at the
center of the road? Should you drag
the whole road in one way, or drag
each half of it in an opposite direc-
ton? Should the dragging be done
when the road Is dry, or after ii has
rained9 A good strong pair of horses
with a well built drag can drag about
three or four miles of road in day.
What would it cost farmer to drag
four miles of road? How would he
be repaid for tho cost of his labor?
Remember, children, you are not to
answer these questions as if you were
answering an examination paper fou
are to think about the answers and
ask people for information and watch
people actually working on the roads
and then write a composition that VIII
be lust the same as if you were writ
ing a letter to friend, telling him
or her, how they made the earth road
near you better, and kept it from get
ting full of holes, ruts, and puddles.
