NEW YORK, Aug. l6-Continued lack
of rain in the west and southwest was
made the basis of another selling move
ment in today's early market. Declines
of point were abruptly registered by
st. Paul. Atchison, Rock Island pre-
ferred. Union Pacific and Erie, and
United States Steel also felt the force
of the initial impact more than any
other industrial issue except the Har-
vester issues. which, were notably heavy.
Supporting orders soon brought gen.
eral recoveries, thereby giving color to
the belief that the pressure had Its ORR
gin largely In short selling. In final
dealings the market gathered fresh inn
petus, and closing prices for the favor
ties were well above those or the pre-
vious day.
Apart from crop considerations the
days news was favorable: The mercan-
tile authorities are agreed that business
in general is holding up well, With
promising fall outlook. and the effect OF
tariff revision largely discounted.

after the opening stocks were offered
freely and prices declined sharply,
catching many stop orders and reduc-

When those who sold for the purpose
of bringing about the break tried to
buy back they found that the supply Of
stock was small and prices rallied
briskly.
On the whole the effect of the raid

REMARKABLE
PRODUCTION
THE TYPHooN, WALKER WHITE
SIDES VEHICLE, is ONE
OF THE MOST UNUSUAL AND
WONDERFUL PRODUCTIONS ON
THE AMERICAN STAGE.

The Typhoon. is a play that has
created a sensation wherever it has
been presented. 1t will come to the
A. C. armory interpreted by Walker
Whiteside, just now accounted the
best of American actors, surrounded
by a company of players engaged by
himself for this most singular and in
teresting Of dramas.
Wherever Mr.. Whiteside has >ap-
peared, critical writers have declared
The Typhoon not only the most inter
esting play Of the decade. in theme
and treatment entirely new and
strange, but giving to Mr.. Whiteside an
opportunity to reveal a character the
like of which has never been given to
the stage.
His characterization of a young
Japanese diplomat entrusted with n
secret mission to Berlin, and his "af-
fair with a beautiful Berlinese en-
chantress has been declared not only
an im~personation Of unusual power
but to have given to the drama an
entirely new type and an interest
compromising oriental and occident-
al passion portrayed in %singularly
convincing fashion. Mr.. Whiteside
will bring to this city the company
that made this unusual play the ring
ing success of the season in New
York, and the splendid and solid pro-
duction in it's entirety.

FAIL TO LOCATE
. NORM. WATSON

Grand Forks, N. D., Nov. 6.-The
strange disappearance Of Norman
Watson, Bathgate farmer, his report
ed purchase of a revolver but a few
days ago and his strange actions dur
ing the past few days have led the
local authorities and others interested
in the inquiry following the death Of
Mary Ryan to fear that the connec-
ton Of his lame with the inquiry
may nave unbalanced his mind and
resulted in violence at his own hand.
Sheriff Benson and Assistant Prose
cutting Attorney e. Lind of Hennepin
county, Minnesota, returned last eve
ming from Bathgate, where they were
Investigating the case, without a~trace
whereabouts, though they visited at
his home. His wife. and others at
Bathgate stated yesterday that he
had not received either q. telegram or
a phone message since his return to
Bathgate early in the week. 49,.
Mrs. Watson knew that the Ryan
girl had died in Grand Forks, but did
not know that the testimony of her
husband in connection with the case
was desired, and did not ever know
that an inquest had been held to de-
termine the cause Of the girls death
until reading it yesterday in the local
paper
She stated that her husband had
been in i'll temper for a few days, and
that he told her that she had better
be careful what she did,. She became
frightened and Tuesday night she
phoned for the sheriff to come and
arrest him, but the trouble was later
amicably settled. =.
Watson has not been seen in Bath
gate for two days. and did not take a
train from that city, which strength
ented the theory that he might have
wandered off. on the prairie while
temporarily deranged and some vio-
lence has befallen him. 80.

Big GAME ON

Much interest is manifest in the
game here tomorrow between a
Forks high school and the midgets
Of Fargo high. IF Fargo should win,
by even one point, they claim n a
they have as much right to. the cham
pionship as has Grand Forks.
A number of errors in the play OF
the Fargo boys in the recent game
with Grand Forks have been corrected
by the efforts of the coach. and the
players, and they are prepared to put
up a hard fight for victory when he
ball is kicked off tomorrow.
The large number Of injuries to
both the Fargo players and the Grand
Forks men in the last. game incap-
acitated them for their best work. 1t
is not often that SO many men re-
ceive injuries in any M game.
There are other teams in the state
who are contenders for the champion
ship also. II Park River defeats
