with Union Pacific officers that the
prospects for an agreement on the lat

able. The market had no opportunity
to reflect any favorable turn in the
situation if such turn has come.
Business was in small volume today
but prices held firm and the stock
market as whole reflected fairly
strong .one There was no pressure to
sell and except for the weakness In
Chesapeake and Ohio which declined
rather sharply the general list held
well. Union Pacific which opened at q
loss of nc advanced to lat on fairly
good buying. Then there was a res
action and in the late trading the
stock declined fractionally with the
rest of the market. The best prices OF

the last hour the movement was dull

The progress OF the suit for $685.
900 filed by ]. l.. Edwards against
the steamer G. w. Hill took an abrupt
turn late yesterday when Marshal
Kenney tried to serve the warrant OF
seizure on the captain of the boat.
The Hill came to port with eight
hundred passengers from Hannibal
yesterday and when she landed here
Marshal Kenney boarded her with the
warrant of seizure issued by Judge
Mcnamara. The warrant was not
served. however, Marshal Kenney ex-
planning the matter as follows on his
return: 81 was informed by Captain
S. t. Wadlington that the boat was
under the admiralty laws of the Unit
ed States and not subject to the iuris-
diction of the superior court My
jurisdiction as an officer not extending
under the admiralty laws did not
execute the warrant
The matter of jurisdiction put Mar
shall Kenney in hot water. II he
seized the boat in lieu Of a $4,000
bond and it was decided the boat was
under the admiralty laws he could be
sued and if he did not serve 1t and
had the right he could be cited fol
contempt to court. The question Of
this jurisdiction has seldom come VI
| in the local courts.
Attorney F. M. Ballinger for Ed
wards, said that the suit would prob
ably be filed in the federal court
which has sole jurisdiction under the
admiralty laws.

To win "Y" button this year Is
no snap. Last year 1872 boys learn

This year each boy winning button
must actually be able to swim unaided
the entire length Of the pool. or so

Natures Balance Of Power.

In view of facts. one Is almost will
ing to accept the statement of we'll
known French scientist. who has as
serted that without birds to check the
ravages of insects, human life would
vanish from this planet in the space
of nine years. But for the vegetation
the insects would perish; but for the
insects the birds would perish, and
but for the birds vegetation would be
destroyed. Nature has, therefore,
formed a delicate balance of power
which cannot be disturbed without
bringing great loss and unhappiness
to the world.
