LEVEL FIRM
ON A DULL MARKET
New York Exchange Has In
active Session-Prices Are
Slightly Irregular.

NEW YORK. MAY .2S.-In a session Of
dull trading on the New York Stock
Exchange, price levels. though slight
- irregular. remained comparatively
firm this morning. Fractional reactions
were noted in the majority of Ameri-
can issues on the London Exchange.
but these were not very generally re-
hected on the local exchange. The
tendency to recessions that was noted
was due more apparently 10 inactivity
than to weakness
Southern Pacific was one of the
strongest spots in the dull market. This
stock, having closed yesterday at y4as.
went to 95l. early in the day. The
strength was attributed to the optinS
istic view now being taken of the Me1i-
can situation, as this road stood to
sustain heavy losses in case of hostili-
ties.
Missouri Pacific. despite the fact that
the success of the plan for caring for
the S25,0o0.oo0 worth of maturing notes,
has not yet been assured, advanced
more than q of point during the first
hour. General Motors, the sensation of
trading though il did not
register further gains. maintained fairly
we'll the advances which il has made.

Hudson, colored, but not colored
as much as Joe, were arrested
last Thursday on a warrant
sworn out by the county attorney,
upon complaint made by the hus'

derstand it, Hudson charges that
his wife and Joe have been liv-
ing in adultery, contrary to the
statutes made and in such cases
provided. The couple was taken
before Justice Jones, and pleaded
not guilty. Jones fixed a bond,
but they were not able to give it,

Our Farmer Friends.

F. M. Congdon, living on Route
4, lost a fine mare Monday.
John Banning was in to see us
Monday. He is just recovering
from a severe sick spell, and he
had a hard time of it for a few
days, but he is able to be out
again, we are mighty glad to say.
Say, you Route 2 fellows: Can
you beat this? John Pliler, out
on Route 2, says he has 130 acres
of corn, up, perfect stand, and he
has IS acres of wheat and so
acres of oats, the best he ever
had.
Jake Lowe was in from his
farm out on Route / the fore part
of the week. He thinks he will
have to hurry up and get his
thrashing outfit in shape, as
there is going to be big lot of
thrashing to do if nothing hap
pens to the wheat and oats.
BLACK Ike" Bingham was in
from his farm out on Route 2 the
other day. He came in in a Ford
machine, and we thought he had
perhaps "blowed" himself, but
upon inquiry we learned that his
brother, Riley, is the fellow who
had money enough to buy such
machine.
Mrs. Rene Havens, wife of
Frank Havens, living on Ronte
2, died on last Saturday. Funer-

conducted by Robert Denton, and
interment was made in Peoria

loving wife and a fine woman.
Besides her husband, she leaves
one child. She was 18 years and
nine months old.
