SHOULD SUIT THE JAPS A CHICAGO FLAN TO PAY FOR LAST CARNIVAL. SAY; BAND'S FALL FESTIVAL WILL CLOSE TONIGHT Rain Practically Put Shows Cut of Business Yesterday A Hope For Fair Weather and Patronage Accorded Make Vendors Feel Good Today is the last day of the Parker carnival. Just the kind of goods which the weather pian will deliver is unknown, but it is hoped that it will be fair so that the satisfactory record of the proceedings four days will not be marred. Up to the coming of the showers on Friday morning, the patronage at the carnival had been very satisfactory. Yesterday, of course no effort was made to open any of the attractions.

Not enough water has fallen, however, to preclude the possibility of a pleasant Saturday should the sun come -out. If, the weather clears up, today will be the banner day of the carnival.

York, Oct. 25. The stock market gave evidence this morning that prices have settled on a stable basis for the present. Thecr were irregular opening advances followed by moderate recessions and then a recovery, after which the dealings became craiet. The mornings' transactions were only about half as large as large as those of yesterday morning The difficulty of obtaining money for speculative operations has caused the commission houses to ask large margins in payment of customers or in sist on the payment in ful for stocks! and this policy has eliminated much of the purely speculative clement from chedailns g.

the dealings. In the final dealings the market de veloped decided strength. Union Pacific rose 4 points over yesterday's closing price and the whole market made good gains. SANDERS' SISTER ILL. Prisoner Taken From Jail to Visit Dying Relative.

Whitlow, charged with the murder of May Sapp, was concluded yesterday afternoon, when at the close of a conference between the attorneys ofr the state and for the defense, the state announced that it rested its case. The defense immediately announced that it would also rest. Carl Peterson, county attorney, then addressed the court as follows: "If the court pleases, the state has proven that the offense of murder in the first degree was committed on the person of Caroline May Sapp at the home of her parents in Moran on the evening of September 27, 1907.

The state has proven that S. F. Whitlow, now under arrest, charged with the crime, was alone with May Sapp when she received her death wounds; that competent medical testimony shows that the wound3 received by Miss Sapp could not have been self-inflicted; that Whitlow, after arrest, tried to commit suicide while en route from Moran to Iola. "Therefore, under the new law, making all offenses bailable, we ask the court to bind this defendant over for trial in the sum of $12,000." Attorney Oyler for the defense stated that he did not care to argue the question cf innocence or guilt at that and asked the court to pass on the question as to whether a crime had been committed and there was evidence tending to show that the defendant was the guilty party. Judge Potter said: "The court finds that a crime as charged ha3 been committed, and that there is evidence tending to show that this defendant committed the crime." Captain Ewing for the defense said that he believed the bond asked by the state $12,000 was exhorbitant.

Attorney Gard, also fo rthe defense, told the court that a $12,00 bond was practically prohibitive. Justice Potter finally fixed the bond at $10,000. 1 adopt me Japanese soum.uu ui uhoi and moral teaching in the Chicago nnblic schools.
