Good TempIars Social.

|
About 100 Good Templars and Their
friends met at Fraternity hall Monday
/ evening to take part in the lodge social
/ that had been previously announced.
The early part OF the.evening was spent
in social converse until the program
committee was ready to proceed, and
then short but very fine program was
presented, Walter Reevis acting as chair
man. The first mum Der was a piano solo
by Mrs. Varney, rendered In that lady's
best style. The recitation bv Mabel Allen
was the description of missionary lady
calling on her friend for subscription
toward the work of sending help to the
heather. She is met by the friend'a
little freckled faced chatterbox, whd
tells her many interesting things about
what ma says and Uncle Dick SAYS; in
short she is well posted as to her own
standing when the mother of the littlel
chatterbox appears. Fred Snipes bassI
solo, "Cast Aside" was well received. ).
Walter Reavis rendering Of the recita-
4 stion, ''Flying Jim's Last Leap" affected
many in the audience to tears. Mrs.
Briggs told an interesting romance in
connection with the singing CT Coming
Through the Rye" Mrs. Varney's
vocal solo "Murphy's Daughter Nell''
was comic song which all eDj jlyed. -
Part II OF the program was the 'dra,o-.
iTg card, and 1t consisted of the sale of
young ladies, who after the close of the
program had retired to the ante room,
and prepared for the ordeal of being
sold, by decorating themselves in fan
tastic costumes and covering the head
with paper sack, thus completely
hiding their identity. One lady was ad-
came in, Auctioneer Brown announced
that he was ready to receive bids, on the
lady before them. Then the bidding be-
gan, and when the head gear was re-
moved our old friend and co-laborer in
the temperance cause, whose identity
was SO well concealed that no one was
able to tell who she was. More than
score of bargains were thus disposed of
at the ruinously low prices of from so
cents to $1.10. After the sale was COM
pleted tables were brought into the room
and the purchases had been claimed by
their respective buyers, they sat down
to the contemplation and investigation
OF the finest lunch you can imagine,
which each lacy had provided for her.
self before being admitted to the pleas
ure of being sold.
Everybody seemed happy. and after
eating their lunch enjoyed the rest of
the evening in games and social inter-
course till nearly midnight.
Mrs. Joles informs us that the Juven-
lies are about ready with Juvenile
social, such as only the boys and girls
are capable of giving. You that want a
pleasant evening watch out for the
Juvenile social. B.H.

at the start. May sold off to elise and
July to 62ssc, but the decline was recovered
later on, May advancing to 621ac and July to
6SAc. The influences at the opening were
generally bearish, but the offerings were
readily taken, and 1t was soon apparent that
the large shorts were covering, and the mar
ket turned. Early Liverpool cables quoted
the market there off 1a0a4d but private ad-

MISER ROBBED.
Bold Chicago Thieves Secure
Booty of More Than $4,000.

CHICAGO, March 24.-Christopher Schrage
who is seventy-eight years old and lives alone
at No. I'LL South Jefferson street, was bound
and gagged by two men this evening at $50
o'clock and robbed of money and papers
amounting to more than $50, 0G0 The rob-
berry was one Of the boldest ever perpetrated
in this city. No arrests have been made and
the police are at in the matter. At the
time the robbery occurred, Schrage was alone.
1t was some time before he was discovered
and the police notified. The valuables stolen
included 900 worth of Cook county and
Chicago city bonds, mortgage papers amount
ing to $4,000, $500 in registered government
bonds, $3.50 in currency, 500 in gold. The old
man lives entirely alone and has always
kept his money and securities in a safe in
a rear room in his house. 1t was a matter of
common report that he was in the habit of
counting his money every evening before clos
ing up his house for the night. The robbers
were evidently aware of this habit and timed
their visit accordingly
The men gained an entrance to the house
by pretending that they were anxious to rent
some rooms, and, as Schrage was showing
them through the house, they threw him to
the floor and bound and gagged him. They
did not injure the old man to any extent, but
threatened him with death if he attempted
to make any noise for at least an hour after
they left the house. At midnight the police
had not the faintest ciew to the robbers.

NEW YORK, March 24.-Althoueh the deal

yesterdays record, manipulation was no less
potent an influence, and the trading reflected
lnoecislon on the part of the professionals.
London prices came lower for Americans.
This fact and an advance in foreign exchange
rates had disturbing influence upon prices.
In addition, stress was laid by the profession
ais upon the somewhat unsatisfactory condi-
ton OF railroad rates in the West and North
west and upon the old topic of the light move
ment in corn. On the other hand the money
market exhibited slightly easier tendency
TO buy commercial paper. The conflicting re-
ports in relation to the crop prospects usually
incidental to this time of the year are begin
ming to be noted. Other unfavorable factors
sto1;+i are tne prolonged uncertainty of European
politics, and the infammatory tenor of the
discussions in relation to the Cuban question
at Washington. Liquidation was apparent in
a number of stocks and the traders were on

summer, resulted in an agreement by
which the latter company was to guar
antee the bonds of the Northern Pa
cific and to obtain a practical control
of the property. Legal and other OBJ
stacles prevented the carrying out of
this arrangement, but it was supposed
that the plan to be adopted would in
some manner provide for the co-opera-
ton of the Great Northern. Interests
connected with the latter are, indeed,
understood to have secured considera-
bic holdings of Northern Pacific Sc
curities, particularly the per cent
consolidated mortgage bonds. The
fact that this interest was consulted
and acquiesced in the issue Of the
present plan is, therefore, significant
1T is stated, indeed, that on full con-
s1deration the advantages of an inde-
pendent reorganization of the property
without any entangling alliance with
its competitors seemed to outweigh
any possible benefit which direct
financial assistance from the Great
Northern would have involved.

MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
The Tarde Dull, but With Prices
Ruling Il Shade Higher

There was dull trade early in the day,
but the market was ruling shade higher.
The opening price was lower for May wheat
but from the first trade there was buying
enough tc advance the price and hold the
advance. Large clearances of -four from New
York caused quite a few shorts to run to
cover. Then came report from California
telling of widespread damage to the crop, and
this latter brought the short interest in a
hurry. The market turned strong in mo-
ment. and took on a good advance, which was
continued up to the middle Of the noon hour.

poorly nourished nerve tissues, and Of
thin, pale-colored blood, some means
must be devised to supply these def
ciencies briskly and rapidly. Professor
Phelps prepared Paines celery COM
pound on this basis. 1t has proved an

spring days for throwing off poor
health. There are few persons who do
not need to take spring remedy.
Many not downright sick, but tired or
ailing, would be immensely benefited
by taking Paines celery compound, es-
pecially at this particularly favorable
season Of the year.
This great compound will Danish that
tired feeling, cleanse the blood and
regulate the nerves.
