CHANGE IS FEvERISH
Dealings in Steel Are on an Enormous
Scale.

New York, April 17.-F'everish
trading in stock was resumed at the
opening of today's two hour session
on the exchange. Industrial and
equipment shares were again the most
prominent features, principally New
York Air Brake, Baldwin Locomotive
and Pressed Steel Car in which gains
of to 5 points were made. American
Locomotive, Yesterdays sensational
feature, was again reactionary, de-
clining over points to Sc, from which
it soon made full recovery.
Other specialties, including Bethle-
hem Steel, rose 1 to points and lead
ers, especially United States Steel,
denoted further accumulation at sub
stantial advances. Dealings in Steel
were on an enormous scale, with sew
eral lots of 1900 to 1000 shares.
Profit taking made absolutely no
impression on prices, the entire list
continuing it's advance in the second
hour on an increasing scale of actlv-
ity. War shares added materially to
gains of the first hour, closing with
advances extending from to points
The extraordinary demand for
United States Steel was the outstand-
ing feature. The stock frequently
changed hands in blocks of 1000 to
1000 shares and just before the end
touched so, the high price of the cur
rent movement. other former lead
ers attained to best prices. Buoyancy
was maintained to the end. Total
transactions approximately $4,000
shares.

QUIT A few DAYS
Passenger Rate Hearing Adj
iourned Until Wednesday,.
Plenty of Evidence Scheduled
for Next Week.

After concluding testimony as at
fecting the Missouri Pacific railway
in the passenger rate case, the pub
lie utilities commission adjourned the
hearing until Wednesday morning that
it might clean up routine business IN
the office A number of railroads
will introduce evidence next week to
substantiate their claims that the two
cent rate in Kansas is not remunera-
tive and the hearing may continue INTO
the following week.
Witnesses for the Santa Fe, frisco
Missouri Pacific and Topeka & LeaV-
enworth roads have testified before
the commission. Next week witnesses
will be called on behalf of the Union
Pacific, Rock Island and Katy roads.
Railway officials have indicated that
they expect to close their case with
but a few more days for the introduce
ton of evidence But the case has al
ready dragged through two entire
weeks and but a half dozen OF the
twenty-five or thirty witnesses have
been examined.
Should the hearing continue to drag,
it is prObab that the utilities COM
mission may be compelled to jump
from the passenger rate case to the
gas hearing. The gas case is set for
May 13. During the two weeks or the
rate hearing, the utilities commission
has given over but four or five hours
a day to the introduction of evidence.
1t is hardly believed that the commits
sion will extend the time for taking
testimony aid use of all of their wit
nesses by the railroads may mean that
the case will drag over into next
month.

The Shawnee County Sunday School
association has recovered a six-foot
pennant which disappeared from the
fair grounds last year while the an
nual picnic was in progress. 1t was a
good pennant which the association
earnestly desired back, but until to-
day it's wherea bouts remained I'M
known. Yesterday, at request, The
State Journal published the following
item in it's Local Mention column:
At the big Sunday school picnic
on the state fair grounds last year
some one walked away with a six
foot pennant which was the prop
orty of the Shawnee County Sum
day School association. II. w.
Bomgardner, head of the aSsocia-
ton, stated this afternoon that he
will give two dollars to the pos
SCISSOR of the pennant if it is re-
turned to him by o'clock Friday
evening and will ask no questions.
This morning a boy OF about 1 4
years appeared in Mr. Bomgardner's
office with the missing pennant
Can get that two dollars? he
asked. e.
No questions were asked and no in
formation was vo1unteered; the lad

TRADE GROWS BETTER
Stock Market Takes Lead in Revival
of Business.

New York, April 17.-R. G. Dun
&, Co.'S Review of Trade says: PRO
gress in trade continues and the i'm
provement as a whole is of gratifying
proportions, but there is nothing in
the commercial situation resembling
the remarkable revival of activity on
the stock exchange, with the sales of
over a million shares a day This
speculative movement, while having
a somewhat stimulating effect upon
business sentiment as perhaps dis
counting the future, has no counter
part in actual Industrial and merchan-
dising conditions as they exist today.
The cotton goods markets are active
and the mills are well supplied with
orders. Wooden goods are strong.
Foreign trade continues active in
certain lines. The war orders con-
tribute to great prosperity. The in
creased domestic and export consun1p-
ton of raw cotton is one of the 1nflu-
ences working mlgnII1y for business
betterment. Activity in export trade
still contrasts with limited domestic
buying in iron and steel. There has
been a marked expansion in the for
eign demand. Bank clearings for tho
week amounted to S3,U21, 8O1,927, an
increase of 81 per cent as compared
with the same week last year.

AN OLD LANDMARK
DiSmantling of Livery Stable
Erected in 1868.
Timbers Sawed From Native
Trees on Kaw.

One of Topeka's oldest landmarks
is being torn down to make room for
a modern garage. The Old Love livery
stable, 207-9 West Sixth street, which
has been used continuously as a livery
stable since 1858 is being diSlEantled
The timberS were sawed from ma
tive trees on the banks of the Kew
at a lumber mill where the Davis mer-
camille building now stands. Col. Hank
Lindsay was the first proprietor.
There was no water in that part of
the city then, and he hauled water for
his horses from the Kaw river. He
was succeeded by Silas Rain, who was
there 'graSShopper" year, and had to
haul Slew-grass from Dover to winter
his horses. James Love, who has Just
vacated the place and moved to an
other old livery stand at 112 West
Fifth street, terminated a continuous
proprietorship of thirty-two years.
When the building was erected it
was ten feet lower than it now is, and
was raised when Sixth street was
brought up to it's present level. The
entrance is the same as has been used
since 1868

as she did when gowned in the

Billie Burke'S company was Sc
lected with care. Shelley Hull, as
Wade; Selene Johnson as Joan Dou-

mother all took their parts easily and
well. H. Lawrence Layton as Peter
Flagg, was the English monocled gem
Thomas Reynolds, was a Ikeable sort

Jerry was written by Catherine
