Clows, head of the banking house of Henry
Clows & Co., writes of tho situation in Wall

Tho stock market appears to have reached
the llrst staRH of tliti prcat election ao

were willing to seo tho murket tested In
order to Mod out what extent or staying
power thero Is 111 It.
Viewed as an experiment, this rcaltzltiK
movement has been a success. Thosu who
wero doubtrul of tho continuance of the
boom have hud their rontldenco strength
ened. Those who had hoped to shako
prlceM and f?et In nr;iiln at lower figures
liavo found buyers promiit to accent their
largo reallzlnfc-s wltli llttlo snadlng or
vnlues. Thin buying hns not come trom
tho country merely, nor from an enthuslnu
tic crowd or small local speculators! It rep
resents, for the most part, a class able to
carry considerable lines of stock and who
urn convinced that tho market hns not yet
renchel Its highest point of ndvancc. The
realizing sales have also been taken to an
Important extent by Inventors, who from
their characteristic raullon havo rollowed
tho ndvnnco too slowly and therefore found
themselves compelled to pay unexpectedly
high prices. It would therefore bo a mis
take to BUpposo that the sellers havo un
loaded upon a set ot buyers whoso weak
ness Imperils tho markut. Home of those
who havo realized may ilnd that "short"
contracts to which they then committed
themselves will not bo so easily taken caro
of as thoy havo hoped.
AVliu ! llelilnd It f
H Is not fully realized to what nn extent
tho present market Is concerned with largo
capitals. Tho extent to which rich men
and great llunnclal Institutions had put
themselves In a. position to fuco the ruinous
results of tho election of Uryoii has not
been generally realized. Tho consequences
or HUcn an event would havo been so dlro
that capital deemed It prudent to discount
thn worst ixiHslbllltles. Instead or tho
worst, however, the best has Impelled, and
It Is tho undoing or tho damaging ante
election precautions that moro than any
thing eltm constitutes tho rorce of this
boom: but tho breadth nnd practical forco
or this factor Is not siitllclcntly appreciated
In estimating tho vitality or the boom.
Tho consciousness or escape rrom a great

the current movements, llesldes that nega

added security to tho llnances nnd tho pub

contributions to conlldence, tho country dis
covers that we are In tho midst or tho most
rcmarka olo expansion In tho history or our
Industries. It needs no exercise or tho
Imagination to seo what such a concur
rence or circumstance! means for the rutu-o
or tho United Htates. It Is not likely that
Wall street has yet done with a situation
so full or stimulus and promise. It is not
unlikely that prices, having hnd such a
largo perpendicular rise, will In ruturoshow

detriment to legitimate investing Interests.
Indeed, taking the. country In all its Inter
ests, thero has never been a situation so
uniformly calculated to bespeak conlldence
and to assurn national prosperity.
Itelntlniis More Complex.
Wall street, however, has got to learn
that this Is becoming less nnd less an lndo.
pendent country. Tlmo has been when our
Shlef dependence wast upon borrowing Tor
lgn capital. Within a very few years this
position Is reversed, and wo aro dependent
n funds loaned to foreigners. Our Inter-
sU havo becomo Interwoven as never be
uro with thoso of Huroe. We have been
rawn Into International politics: our troops
ire marching side by sldo with those of tho
freat powers and our navy is spreading Its
hips over all tho seas. This closor political
tininlty carries with It a closer llnanclal nf
Inlty. Our relations with tho transatlantic
murses must becomo moro Intimate, nnd
w must be moro In evidence In the rorelgn

part and parcel or tho world's system or
nerve-centers, ami thereforo must sym
pathize with a thousand matters which It
has hitherto viewed with tho eyes of a dis
interested stranger. With this broadening
or our national interests Wall street must
widen tho scop or Its dally outlook and ln
creuso the number of factors to bo reck
oned in dealing with tho affairs or tho Htock

We cannot bo unfothen In restricting our

A young man, bearing a Boiled Batchel
and a sad, melancholy expression, had
boarded tho boat and sought a secluded
corner. As tho steamer passed the break
water he mado mental observations of the
scenery.
A young man at his elbow looked up in
nn appreciative way. ile, too, seemed sad
and retrospective.
"Ueautlful, isn't U7" ho obserred, blink

"Fine!" responded his new-round com

"Let a go down on tho lower deck, whero
we can get a better view," suggested the
first speaker.
On tho stairway they met another sad-
appearing young man. Some way or an
other sympathy seemed to draw the trio
together and they all Bought tho lower
deck.
They did not find the dealred scenic in

thoy tumbled along the surfaco of the
lake, looked tempting.

'A terrible trip undor the circum

"What 11 wo do?" queried the third.
"Pray for a storm and tho customary
antidotes that are provided on board Bhlp,"
said tho Drat.
Then tho trio sat alone and disconsolate
in a corner and watched the waves dancing
In the sunlight. After a while the broeze
stiffened and the water began to stir fret
fully.
A nervous man sitting opposite tno trio
reached Into his satchel and pulled out a
fat bottlo containing a rich red fluid. He
took a long pull. One of tho trio nudged

Thn third siirang to Ilia ieet ana quicmy

that ho had neglected to provide certain

Owing to the condition of tho funds In

With tho COmnlatlon of thn hlstnrv nf Milo

clared up to standard by the municipal bond
attorneys it will most likely bo necessary

buyers who deal lartalv In Rntlth Omnlin

point tno city wns in a bad way as far as

that buyers aro naturally a llttlo backward
about investing their money in Rnmh
Omaha bonds Just now. This buyer said
that tho only thing South Omaha could
do to savo its credit would bo to lssuo

Thero is a constant and Increasing demand

ALASKA'S ONLY TIIAIX DOY.
The YounisKter Is on the Klondike
Limited nnd Itnten Are HlKh.
Tho old query as to whether or not you
would llko to bo tho lecman will bo rapidly
forgotten, says tho Chicago Tribune, as soon
as song writers and ballndlsts learn about
tho train boy In Alaska. Thero Is a train
boy In Alaska. Just ono. Or rather thero
wa3 a few weeks ago, but by this tlmo he
may bo Bomowhcro In tho Mediterranean
on his prlvato yacht blowing rings from his
AO-cent cigars and swearing at his $5,000-a-
year sailing master becauso ho cannot
whlstlo up a breeze.
Think of being tho only train boy on a
railroad that brings minora with thousands
and thousands of dollars' worth of gold
out of the greatest mining camp in tho
world. Thero Is only ono railroad to Alaska
that is tho White Pass & Yukon railroad.
On that railroad thero 4a a train called the
Klondike Limited,
Tho Klondike Llmltedr 'Isn't tho sound
of that namo enough ,10 make a common
candy butcner on mo run between l'cona
and Lafayette, Ind., stick his head Into his
basket ot salted peanuts and strangle him
self to death? For ithore Is a train boy
on tho Klondike Limited. On the Klondike
Limited, that brings prospectors and miners
and adventurers weighted down with golden
nuggets back to the states and civiliza
tion, and tho girls they left behind them,
thero 1b a caudy butcher. And nil these
prospectors and miners and adventurors on
this Klondlko Limited aro bubbling over
with Joy that tho days of their exile aro
over and that soon they will be back to
their boyhood homes again. Think of turn
ing looso a candy butcher In such a crowd as
that. To quote another popular song, "It
seems llko a shamo to tako tho monoy."
Tho trnlnboy on tho Klondlko Limited,
llko his brothers on tho Kenosha local,
deals In peanuts, candy, books, papers nnd
magazines. Hut more than that, ho soils
shirts nnd collars and bright red neckties.
Ho ulso has a full line of whiskeys and
plug tobacco and cigars of the finest cab
bage Eclected leaf. Tho tralnboy does not
llko to sell cigars. Ho only gets B0 cents
npltco for thorn and thoy cost hlra 75 cents
a hundred. Ho sells the cigars to snow
he's a good fellow. He didn't originally
deal In shirts nnd habcrdashory, but he
found that tho miners returning to clvlll
ration yenrn madly for a "blled" shirt.
So after he had sold the shirt ott his back,
together with his collar and red necktlo
for $100, ho decided to carry a stock of
Fhlrts and tics.
Thero are stringent restrictions in Alaska
In regard to selling whisky and so the
trnlnboy doesn't sell It. He gives It away
and lots tho man who drinks it tip him
for his trouble In pulling the cork. If the
mun wcro to glvo him a nugget any smullor
than tha slzo ot thn cork tho tralnboy
ould haughtily refuse to let him buy any
moro cigars and would charge him at least
$5 for u two months' old nowspaper, which
ha ordinarily gives away tor only $1.50.
Then the tralnboy Bells playing cards
and tho passengers aro nlwnys wanting a
game. Ho puts up tho table, too, hands
around tho matches and, of course, a large
and substantial "kitty" Is maintained on
one side of the table for the sole support
of tho obliging tralnboy. If anybody was
to put a quarter or a silver half dollar
Into tho "kitty" the tralnboy wouldn't be
angry. Ho uses those things to pay store-
kerpers for fresh goods for his next run.
A Seattle newspaper man interviewed the
tralnboy on the last trip from Alaskn.
Quoth the tralnboy: "Am I It? Am 17
Say. ain't I a naughty boy? I know It's
wrong to tako the money, but I need It
In my business and, besides, as coon as I
get enough I'll buy the railroad and give
stmo other good, deserving boy a chance
to fasten onto a little honest money. Hut
$1 for n sack of peanuts! Say, that's a
prnltontlary offense In Illinois. But I need
tho money."

Tho pence of tha world may hanir unnn

CATTLE There wns nothlnir on naln tn.
day but a few odds and ends and con
Bequently nothing with which to mako n
teat of tho market. Tho few catt'o that
did arrive today woro mostly consigned
direct to packers.
The receipts tho past week have been tho
lightest on record for somo tlmo past, but
inai in, oi course, accounted tor ny tno
fact that neonlo usually avoid Hhfnnlnir
around a hoMduy, In view of tho light
receipts the tendency of prlcen has lieen
upward on all classes of good cattle. Corn-
iea steers ato prouaoiy jixui&c Higher man
thoy wero at tho close of last week. Choice
handy weight cattle nro tho best sellers
and command tho greatest premium. Tho
mgn lincu, oi ma. weeic was ta.oy, which
was rinld oni'Krliliiv for n. Winlrn hnnnh nf
cattle of medium weigh ""he half-fat and
common stuff is sell.ng very little, if any,
uouer won it was a wees: ngo, as pacxers
never can tell how that class of cattle aro
going to kill out twd eonseauently thoy do
not want them unless they can get them at
a very low llgure.
Tho light supply of cows and heifers hns
had a tendency to ndvunce prices, tho
snmo as was tho -hum with tho steer
market. It Is safe to say that all classes,
both good and bad, aro selling 1015c higher
than they wero a week ugo. Packers
seemed to want a few cows nnd owing
to tho llcht reeelnts they linil tn n:iv fur
whnt they got.
ino feeder trndo has not been particu
larly brisk this week, but owing to the
very light supply on sule tho good kinds
Bold a llttlo strongor. Choice feeders of
good weight command very satisfactory
prices, but the light, trashy sttuft Is hard
10 move, as country ouycrs no not seem to
want that class or cattle. Stock cows and
heifers havo not been In good demand and
prices nave not picKcd up as much as on
feeder steers. Stock calves urn nlmiit rut
slow salo ns they have been of lato and
quotations aro not much uirrerent.
Tho proportion of wostom grass cattle
Included In tho receipts Is growing smaller
each week nnd very few cholcu cattle are
arriving. Ueef steors may be quoted
stronger for tho week and cows also, tho
market being probably 10lGc higher.
Feeders, If of good quality, aro nlso selling
a llttlo higher than they wero a week ugo,
tho samo.n.1 tho natlvn cattle.
HOOS There was a good liberal run of
nogs nero toaay ror a Saturday, and as
other markets were nono too tlrm prlcei
lie re wmii n iimo lowor. opening DHH
wero from W.GOfi4 65, but largely at Jl.62,
or 5S7V40 lower than yesterday. Hellers
were not exactly satisfied with tho prices
offered and hung on for u time, liopliu
packers would havo to rnlfo their hands,
but Anally sellers began to cut loose, and
everything wns sold In good season. There
was very little change In tho market from
start to finish, though there my have
been a weak snot ut ono time, whon quito
a few hogs sold at $1.00. Tho close, how
over, was good and strong.
Thero has teen a good supply of ho.is
hero all tho week, taking everything Into
consideration, though hardly as many us
arrived on tho mnrket the preceding week.
Tho demand has been In good shape, but nt
the same time tho tendency of prices wns
downward. The weok started in with tho
average cost at J4.S7& nnd kept going down
until Snturday, when the market uveruged
about or practically 25c lowor. As
will be seen from the table of average
prices, Saturday was tho low point of the
month with the exception or tho llrst three
days.
SIIEI3P Thero were practically no shoep
on salo today with which to mako a tost
or tho murket. Tho desirable grades of
feeders nro well cleaned up. so that tho
coming week will open with the sheep pens
prnctlcnlly empty.
The receipts of cheep havo been light all
ino ween, inero iieing a decrease as com
pared with laot week amounting to 4,0.'il
head, but as compared with tho correspond
ing week of last year thero Is an Increat..
ot 9,916 hend. The demand hns been full'
equal to the supply, and while prices ara
not much different from what they wero a
week ago, the market Is strong and packers
evidently nro anxious for good stuff. Weth
ers und yearlings brought as high ns Jl.n'i,
but they sold largely around $1.00. and somo
at $1,06. There havo been very few Inmbs
coming In of late, and tho market on that
class of stuff Is strong.
Feeders aro also selling about the same
as they were a week ago If the quality Is
desirable. The demand ror good wothirs
Is equal to tho supply, nnd prices nro fully
steady. When It comes to common stuff,
however, such ns old ewes or cull Iambi,
the market Is not so good and might be
called dull and weak. Anything good, how
ever, has met with ready salo at satis
factory prices.

Every reader, every student, every searcher aft"
knowledge, depends a great deal on his dictionary. In
fact, no study, no home library is complete without h
good dictionary.
The latest and best Is
The Standard
No dictionary has received so much praise from the
people scholars, students, teachers, professors and the
people.
An opportunity is offered the people to procure a
Standard Dictionary
for $7.00
Thl low price places the book within the reach of bo
many that a discussion of the merits of the book seems in
vain. But here are some of the opinions:
R. D. niaclcmore, the English Nfvel
1st: "The Standard Dictionary Is most
comprehensive and correct."
William BUclt, tno Scotch Novelist:
"Admirably comprehensive and exact."
A Connn Doyle, the Eminent Eng
liio Novellnt, London: "It haa
become quits a Joko with ue that we
cannot trip up this dictionary. W
have several times been sure that we
would, but have always failed."
Blr Edwin Arnold: "A noble piece
