GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
Dnylag aad selling.

The rudden shift TO weakness In the
late trading after the early strength OF
the market and the heavy offerings of
stock that met the advance were a sur
prise and a disappointment to the bull
party. The cause appears to lie in the
technical condition In which the market
found itself on the receipt OF the I'resi-
dents message. Probably there never
has been an important public document
OF the kin upon which the Street as "a
whole vas SO thoroughly well Informed
In advance as the present message. For
a week past everybody had the contents
OF the message conhdentiaily and every
body discussed II confidentially. Con-
s~equently when the message appeared
the maract was overbought and there
was a natural movement 10 liquidate

RaiIroads Weak.

The weakness In the railroad list was
Just as pronounced as IN the industrials.
As weak as anything else were the
Hartman issues. Southern Pacific, af-
ter selling as high as 1929, a new high
market on tho present movement, fell
off to 1908 on very small dealings.
There was no specific explanation Of
this movement. II Is understood that
the constant supply OF Union Pacific,
which has been noticeable whenever this
stock held up it's head. represents the
Liquidation OF German owned stock,
which is being conducted by a big inter-
national banking house. Union Pacific
preferred has also been sold perslstently

down, dictated letter to CITY news
paper asking that "the legislature of
her state pass law allowing herself
and Others suffering as much to be
put to death to end their misery"
Her case had been declared hone
less by eminent physicians. She was
a young woman with nothing to look
forward to but years upon years of
the death in life she was undergoing.
This year, on Thanksgiving day. she
sat up in bed, able to move the upper
part of her body, and with hope fol
further improvement. She expects
to be walking in another year. Pro-
gress will be slow, but after nine
years of helplessness, two or three
years devoted to recovery seems a
small matter.
The first thing this woman did
when she began to grow we'll was to
call up the physicians who had de-
clared her case hopeless and beg of
them never again to tell a patient
there was no hope.
The little Chicago baby who could
never have been a human being was
case in itself-death was undoubted-
ly merciful there. But artificial ecu
thanasia" is a different thing. So long
as we have apparently hopeless suf-
ferers on our hands, so long will every
effort be made to discover cures for
hitherto incurable conditions. They
are spur to medical research.
And to say that cure is incurable
because none like it has been cured
before reminds one a little of that
patent Office clerk who in 1888 re-
signed his job because, since every
thing had been invented, he felt sure
the patent Office was destined to a.
out of existence very soon.
1t doesn't pay to sit back and say
This cannot be done because it never
has been done" DISCOVERIES in all
lines have just begun to scratch the
surface of human possibility.

ELLIOTT FOR CONGRESS.
ISt. MarIeS ReCOrd.D

State Senator F. f. Elliott of
Boundary county has announced his
candidacy for the Republican noniina-
ton for congress The announce
ment was made while he was at Lew
iston Friday He followed it with
the statement that he had visited II
counties of south Idaho and had
found the sentiment to be strongly
in favor of one congressional nom
NEE coming from the north.
Mr.. Elliott said that with only one
congressional nominee from the north
before the primaries, there was no
doubt of the result, but that if two
candidates from the north should
develop with anywhere near equal
following the case was hopeless.
Senator Elliott has served two
terms in the legislature from Bonner
county and was one of the leaders on
the Republican side He was former
ly professor in the state university
but resigned his position to take up
scientific farming and is the owner OF
a fine ranch in Boundary county.
