Oklahoma City, Sept. 21.—Following
protracted litigation, an order dissolv-

months ago by the district court of
Comanche county, but was superceded
by an appeal to the state supreme
court, but without success.
The Swanson county officials have
ignored the court’s action, however.

Vienna, Sept. 22.—Among the many
ancient buildings in Vienna which are
fast falling prey to the modern builder
is one of particulai' interest to the
m'edical faculty. It is situated in the
Weihburggasse, in the heart of the old
city, and dates back to the fourteenth
century. It was then the house of the
medical faculty, and in it took place
the first legal dissection of a human
body in central Europe. Emperor
Frederick had decreed for the purposes
of medical science a human body might
be cut open only once in five years.
An Italian physician, Galearo of .Pa-
dua, brought the art of anatomy to
“Vienna, and performed the first dis-
section in this house on Feb. 12, 1494.
The work continued eight days, and
after it was ended all the participants
joined in a high mass for the soul of
the departed.
Further dissections took place in the
fifteenth century, but only five in Vien-
na, in the years 1418, 1444, 1552, 1455
and 1459. Until 1452 only male bodies
were allowed to be dissected. In that
year, at th'e urgent request of ’the
faculty, a female body was permitted
to be dismembered. It happened in May
of that year that six women had been
condemned to death, and the burgo-
master gave the body of one of them
to the faculty. Th’e dissection took
place on May 19 in the old house now
being torn down. Deacon Johannes
Zeller was the lecturer, and the prose-
cutor was the Surgeon-Master Jakobus.
Eighty years later th’e old faculty
house passed into the possession <?£
the church.
The many friends of Rev. Thomas
Slavin, the well-known Jesuit mission-
ary, will be glad to learn that he is*

New York, Sept. 22.—The stock mar-
ket was again deluged with selling or-
ders for United States Steel at the
opening today, the first sale of the
common was 45,000, a block of almost
unprecedented size, which sold from 54
to 55yz an extreme loss of 4%. On
subsequent transactions the price fell
to 53% . In the first ten minutes of
trading, 105,400 shares were sold,

sible for large losses among the rail-

ferred fell back 4%; Northern Pacific.

Pacific, Lehigh Valley and Atchison,
1% each, and Union Pacific, Southern
Pacific, St. Paul, Missouri Pacific,

in General Electric continued and the
stock lost 4 points.
After the first staggering effects of
the viol-ent slump in the Steel stocks
and the issues immediately concerned
in the defeat of the reciprocity agree-
ment, the market began to respond to
banking support. Union Pacific bound-

The Fort Worth Record prints the
following:
“Because it is feared that the bridges
on the line in Texas are too light to
p'ermit the safe passage of the big
850,000-pound Mellet locomotive, the
Santa Fe’s demonstration train will
not visit Texas. The company prom-
ised to exhibit the train in Texas, but
its engineers decided a few days ago
that the bridg’es here were rather frail
for the big engine, although sufficient-
ly strong to hold up locomotives as
large as any now in use in the South-
west. The train reached Ardmore
Wednesday, but will not come farther
South. It turned back to Kansas.
“Th’e locomotive is the largest in the
world, and weighs nearly twice as
much as the largest engine now used
in Texas. It is pulling another engine,
one used in the seventies, and sixte'en
box cars, all representing past and
present day railroad equipment. The
train was designed to show the public
what marvelous progress has been
made in the last thirty years in rail-
roading. '

New Orleans, La., Sept. 22.—Cotton
futures opened barely steady at a de-
cline of 13 to 15 points on poor cables.
Selling was heavy around the first
call, the .bulk of it appearing to be for
short account, although some long cot-
ton was thrown overboard as a result
of stop-loss orders.
Commission houses had much to sell.
The weather map was generally con-
sidered favorable, for though scatter-
ed showers were shown over a large
portion of the cotton country, the pre-
cipitation was light everywhere. At
the end of the first half hour prices
were 20 to 22 points under yesterday’s
close.
At the low levels of the morning
profit taking by shorts was very heavy
and this buying checked the decline
and brought about a recovery of 10
points. Even on this slight reaction
fresh short sales were in evidence in
large volume and the market was un-
able to hold. Selling was stimulated
by the weather for’ecast promising fair
weather over the larger part of the
belt and reports from the interior to

indications are that this figur’e will not

all the precautions for a complete cen-

find one million school children in
Texas. The total, however, will be
close to that number.

New York, Sept. 22.—In two hours of
wild trading today the stock market
was thrown into confusion by a violent
break in prices, followed by an equal-
ly violent recovery. For a time it ap-
peared as though the market might be-
come utterly demoralized.
Widely circulated reports that the
United States Steel Corporation was
prepared to dissolve, or that a dissolu-
tion suit was soon to be filed by the
federal government ,led to a flood of
selling orders. Transactions in

Canadian reciprocity,
sharply.
After the first sharp break, in which
245,000 shares of United States Steel
common were sold in thirty minutes, it
became apparent that support was be-
ing lent by powerful banking interests
and trading became steadier.
Once the decline was stopped, the
market turned abruptly. With the ex-
ception of the Hill stocks and Steel
common, the early losses were elimi-
nated. Officials of the Steel corpora-
tion still maintained their silence. Re-
ports that negotiations between Attor-
ney General Wickersham and officials
of the corporation were under way
were denied by persons in close touch
with the situation.
Within a half hour after the open-
ing 260,000 shares of Steel common had
been thrown on the market.
The slump in Steel had its
throughout the general list,
were declines of from 1 to 4 points in
industrials and railroad stocks.
Representatives of the United States
Steel Corporation continued silent re-
garding the various rumors of volun-
tary dissolution. It seemed to be the
general belief in Wall street that the
Steel Corporation had received intima-
tions from the government that it
could not continue in its present form.
Defeat of Canadian reciprocity added
to the early weakness of the market.
