RESUME OF WEEK’S
0EALIN6S0II
WmiJTBEET
(By THOMAS C, 8H0TWELL.)
Kew York, Oct. 14.—Stocks cl08«d
strong today under leadership of
Reading, Union Pacific and Steel.
The close was at about the best
prices and strength was maintained
throughout the session. Death of Jus
tice Harlan caused covering of
shorts in Reading on the theory
that the proceedings against the coal
trust in the supreme court would be
delaved.
Prices were not nsaterially changed
as a result of the week's transac
tions except in a few specialties and
American Beet Sugar was the chief
of these, moving to high record
prices In expectation of a dividend.
Tobacco bonds were extremely ac
tive and made sharp advances, both
i.ie fours and sixes. Cotton sold at
the lowest price in three years un
der an overwhelming movement from
the farms.
Reports by the United States gov
ernment showed that the crops have
not changed materially in volume
tin^'e the previous report of a month
n^TO. The bnd crop report for the Unit
ed States was suplemented by an of
ficial report showing that the Rus-
i!:m wheat yieid this year is 240,-
('00,000 bushels less than last year,
r‘=t8 150.000,000 bushels less and rye
48,000,000 less. Estimates of the cot
ton crop in the United States are
b» ing raised to above fifteen millioxi
1 i*es and the stapie is the finest
ever grown. Earnings of railroads
reiving the crop belt are holding up
well but In other sections of the
country the gross is yielding:, al
though in many cases the net is be
ing reduced to match it.
jn connection with the advance of
Beet Sugar stock It can be snld on
official authoritv that a dividend will
be declared in les5 than thirty days
and djref'tors of the company do not
hesitate to say that the stock will
soil higher than it is. But small in
vestors are being warned by banking
intereEts that ihe high cost of liv
ing this winter and particularly the
high price of sugar taken in connec-
t?on with the frauds upon the United
States government committed by the
American Sugar Refining Company
will cause agitation in congress
nrainst the sugar tariff. Although the
Heet Sr.Rar is innocent of any fraud
V '.ill Euffer along with the Ameri-
r.^n Company in the event of tarilt
r jita'ion. Even the American Compa
ny .s uot guilty of any particular
'• rong Ctolns; in connection with the
(ivance in sugar which is based up
on trade conditions. The past record
of the corporation, however, is such
as to rob it of all hopes of getting
f?>ir play in this connection.
The steel cororatlon reported that
on the first of October unfilled or
der*; on its boolis were 81,668 tons
smaller than on the first of the*pre
vious month. Prices have been re
duced officially by the steel makers
aud unofficially they are reduced to
wnatever figure a purchaser is will
ing to pay. There Is considerable
demoralization in the Industry ex
cept in the steel rail department and
rails hold firm at $28 as an invitation
for the government to make an at
tack.
The principles of fair play demand
that the government make known Its
intentions In the near future regard
ing the steel trust. It is only honest
• in view of the agitation to let the
public know what it proposes to do.
in view of the collapse of the Electri
cal trust and President Taft’s reitera
tion that he proposes to re-establish
okl fashioned competition In the
United states it looks as though the
government would be forced to begin
some action against the steel trust
regardless of considerations for ex-
President Roosevelt. .

Kendrick, in a letter from Jonesville,
“and at times. I could not bear to
stand on my feet.
The doctor said I never would be
any better, and that I would have to
have an operation, or I would have
a cancer.
I went to the hospital, and they oper
^ated on me, but I got no better.
They said medicines would do me no
good, and I thought I would have to
die.
At last, I tried Cardui, and I began
to improve, so I continued using it.
Now, I am well, and can do my own
work. I don’t feel any pains. Cardui
worked like a charm.”

the findings of the committee the
best method to provide for the main
tenance of these cases w’as to offer
employment of sufficient value to en
able the mother and her children to
make a decent living. This employ
ment to be under state supervision.
The employment of school build
ings after hours, in the evenings
and on Sunday afternoons and even
ings was also put forward as a move
ment that v.’ould greatly tend to
keep men, women and children from the
coniaminating Influences of the
street. These buildings to be used
not alone as houses of instruction
but as reading rooms and clubs
where the colnmunity could meet to
discuss questions of mutual Interest
without having recourse to the street
corners or saloons.
The committees’ views upon the
care of the feeble-minded are in
part:
“More effective care of the feeble-
m.inded of both sexes is a preventive
measure of the utmost importance.
Probably no measure would bear im
mediate results to such a fruitful
depree as would this. Every feeble
minded woman left at large during
the ca'.Id bearing period becomes the
source of a nev.- generation of delin-
o.uents and defectives, and communi
ties that feel that they cannot af
ford the funds necessary to seg
regate such cases are simply pro
viding for a much heavier burden
in the future. Feeble-minded men who
constitute a constant menance to
the communities in which they live,
often being guilty of the most re
volting crimes, instead of being ef
fectually and permanently segregated
in custodial institutions are sent to
some penal institution for a longer
or shorter period and then allowed
to come out to again prey upon the
community and beget their kind.”
The committee advocated the seg
regation and detention of all feeble
minded persons, with adequate ar
rangements for their maintenance in
old age. If this measure were taken
in the committees opinion the race
feeble-minded delinquents would soon
show a nsarked decrease in num
bers.

tional system of crop rotation to leave
the soil richer year after* year when

ucation and health will also be treated.

EDITOR AND GOVERNOR AT WAR
Chief Executive Going .to Fair With
Chip on Shoulder.
Spartanburg," S. C., Oct. 16.—Gover
nor Cole Li. Blease has taken
charge by Charlets H. Henry, editor
of the Spartanburg Journal, and in
a letter to Henry, published in the
Journal says he will soon come to
Spartanburg for the,, county fair, and
dares the editor to repeat the of
fending epithet to his fa:be. The sen
tence which aroused the Guberna
torial ire was:
“There is fine material in South
Carolina politics just now’ for a comic
opera, with Cole Blease as the vil
lain.”
In reply to the Grovemor’s threat,
Henry says he would liot dignify the
governor by, any such action; and
again calls him “ridiculous, cothlcal,
grotesque, droH and absurdly vain.”

Varies Greatly With Cities Acocrding
to “Billy” Sunday'a Figures.
Chicago, 111., Oct. 16.—“Billy” Sun
day, erstwhile baseball player and now
evangelist, has issued a soul-saving
pamphlet, showing the average cost of
saving souls to the various citiea of
the United States. The cities and the
cost in each of leading a soul „ .into the
Ghurih fold are as follows: Chicago,
$395; New York $545; Indianapolis
$620; Boston $450; New Orleans $78;
Atlanta $75.
Chicago pastors shown the process
of computation declared that a res
cued soul was cheap at any price in
comparison with the actual and incal
culable value of a soul.
It was also ascertained, that the
price of soul-saving in a religious cam
paign or revival like those given in
Chicago by “Gypsy” Smith, or Dr. J.
Wilbur Chapman is much cheaper than
the average cost to Chicago churches
in the course of their year’s work.

he arrived at the face of the breast a
heavy fall of coal and rock occurred,
burying him alive. It took five hours
to recover his horribly-mangled body.
Had his men gone with him, as they
generally do, all would have been kill

heavy fall.
