TOPICS OF WALL STREET.
Pullman Under Pressure.

In the final hour of trading. when the
general list was mounting to the highest
levels OF the day. there was one issue.
Pullman. which was making new low
marks on almost every sale. The selling
was very heavy. and Wall Street was
at loss to account for 1t. A commits
sion house informed its wires that the
selling was largely by professional
bears, who have been short of the stock
for considerable time. and who were
utilizing the railroad strike as an ex-
c'ise for hammering the stock. That
theory was accepted generally until the
old low mark. 91M. was reached and
broken. but the continued pressure un-
der the previous low led traders to be-
lieve that something more than bear
selling was in progress. So far as could
be learned. the only Pullman Company
meeting scheduled for to-day Is Its an
nual stockholders meeting. but 1t was
pointed out that possibly statement
regarding its dividend policy for the
year might be made. Among houses
heavy sellers of the stock was one with
Chicago connections which has had e:om
time to time excellent information on
the inside doings OF the Pullman Com
pany.

G. D. WATERS IN NEW POSITION

State college alumni and old resi-
dents of Brookings will be interested
in the following item from the Par
sons, Kansas, newspaper concerning
George ID. Waters, brother of Miss
Waters of this city and a gradu-
1894. Mr.. Waters visited Bookings
last June during the alumni home-Com-
ing week.
George ID. Waters, manager of the
Parsons Gas Co., has resigned that
position, effective April /, and will en-
gage in business for himself at Wich
tia. Mr.. Waters has joined his brother.
inlaW, Ii. l.. Gates, as an equal part
ner i'm the North End Commission Co.,
dealers in wholesale fruit and pro
duce. His successor as gas manager
here has not yet been named. News
of Mr. Waters intended departure
from this city will be received with
genuine regret by the people Of Par
sons who have grown to respect and
admire him as a courteous, aifable
gentleman and a business man who
looked upon his management Of a pub
lie utility as a public trust, as well rs
the representative Of the utility COM
pany. But his friends, as well as
Judge LoOmis, head O. the gas COM
pany. recognize his opportunity for
greater personal gain in a profitable
business venture of his own. The
North End Commission Co. at Wichita,
last year did a gross business in c&-
cess of $50, 900.
Happy Waters is now in his
fourth year as local manager Of the
gas company. having taken charge Of
the plant when Judge G. A. LOOMS
purchased the distributing system. He
came from indianapolis where for over
three years he was associated with the
National Underwriters Corporation,
but prior to that he vas for many
years in the gas business and as audi
tor for II. NJ. Bilsby & Co, n Of the
largest gas, electric and street rail
way corporations in the country, cs-
tablished the first natural gas service
at MuskOgee. During his incumbency
Of the Parsons Gas company manage
ment he has added 1000 new custO-
mers TO the business here and has put
the distributing plant into a state Of
efficiency where it Is generally recOg-
nized today as the best local gas dis
tributing system in the mid-contin-
nent field. Judge LOOmis, himself has
on more than one occasion said that
the Parsons plant was the most eff
cient, freer Of leakage and waste, Of
all Of his properties. and he didn't
know of a better one in the entire
observation-disclosures field.

civic activities in which he has taken
a leading part without whimpering
