purchase of stocks.
Nearly 5000 u of town merchants
have asked to be enrolled as non-resi-
dent members of the Merchants associ-
alton Of New York. Several hundred of
these applications We're received today.
As soon as the action of the railroads
In granting low rates in favor of New
York became known in Baltimore and
On Philadelphia the merchants of those
cities entered a protest, claiming that to
favor New York would be inimical to
their interests. Thereupon President w.
Il. KIM of the Merchants association
sent a note to the secretary of the Joint
Traffic association advising that stop
over checks at these cities be issued.
The railroads will adopt the suggestion.
Mr.. King said today that merchants
tickets from Chicago and st. Louis will
be Issued some time in August, good
seven days going eastward and good to
return within thirty days, and that
these tickets will be issued at the rate
OF one and one-third fare for the round
trip. Mr.. King added that he was sorry
tina the roads west of Chicago are dis
posed to throw obstacles In the way OF
the movement, but he was confident
that no western opposition could pre-
vent the movement becoming a success.

Deadwood, July 13.-Last week n
block of 100 shares of IIomestake min
ing stock was sold for $4,000 or $40 u
share. The Homestake stock has in
creased in value SO much that it is
very rare that IL transfer is made. The
company nov pays a monthly divi-
dend of rs cents. OF all the gold mines
on the American continent the Home
stake stands at the head in the mount
of dividends paid up to date. The to-
tai amount is $6,275,000 and is still
paying. The Granite Mountain of
Montana, a gold and silver mine, has
paid SIP, 100000, but the last dividend
was paid in July 1892. The Homestake
has made assessments to the mount
of 100000, the last levy having been
made in July, 1878. The capital stock
of the company is SIP, 100000 with 1885,
900 shares valued at 500 each. Since
January /, dividends to the amount of
$1s7, 500 have been paid to the stock
holders. There are two other rich
mines which this company owns and
operates, the Deadwood-Terra and the
Highland. The first j. capitalized az
$1,000, 900 with 200, 900 shares with a
par value of S25 a share. The mine has

800 n share. The last dividend was
paid last February amounting in all
to $4,000. The mine has paid a total

These three mines have IL total capital
stock of S27, 500, 900 and have paid div
idends to the amount of ~$10,S39,91S,
which are virtually the dividends of
one company since the same men own
and operate all of the property. The
three mines are within a radius of one
mile and are three and q half miles
from Deadwood. People holding stock
in any one of them consider they have
q good investment and do not often
make transfers.

A DISASTER AvERTED BY A BOY
Minnesota Tramps Try to Wreck a
Train but Their Plan Is
Rlorked

Fosston, gdinn., July 14.-By his quick
Actions and rare presence of mind Frank
Anderson. a 1~6-year-oid boy, saved the
Great Northern west bound express
from being wrecked and the lives of
many people who were on board.
Anderson was walking along the road
Just out of Burwell, MINI, where he dis
covered a number Of ties placed across
the tracks. Te tried to get them off,
but was unable to do so. He knew the
flyer was due at that point In a very
few moments after his discovery. There
was no house within a mile where he
could get help. He ran to the station at
Burwell and, breaking in a window. Sc
tured some waste" which he saturated
with Oil n placed in little punches
along the road for a distancl Of 300 feet.
AS soon as he saw the headlight of
the engine as the train rounded a curve,
half a mile away, he set fire to the.
waste" This attracted the attention of
Engineer Winney, who put on the air.
brakes and reversed his engine. The
train did not stop, however, until the
pilot of the engine was on top of a tie
that lay across the rails. Had the train
been going at almost any speed it would
have been wrecked and thrown down a
twenty foot embankment.
The trainmen think the ties were
placed there by tramps who had been
refused a free ride.

Chicago, July 14.-A special dispatch
from Washington to the Times-Heraid

The administration has taken steps
to keep its grip on Hawaii. Any ag-
sresslve interference on the part or
Japan will result In the landing Of ma

CALL FOR ELECTION IN GERMAN
Citizens Refuse to Understand tho
Official Language.

Pierre, July 13.-Complaint has been
made to the Office of superintendent of
public instruction that the only call
posted tor the school election i'll Jack
son school district, Mcpherson county,
at the annual school election was in
German, and u copy of the call printed
in the German language is sent along
as a part of the complaint. The party
sending it in wants to know if such an
election is legal, and desires the mat
ter to be set right. The Germans up
in that part of the state seem to have
a hard time understanding that Eng
lish is the language of this country, as
complaint was made in regard to tho
use of German in the official proceed
ings of the general election last fall.
The superintendent is out of the state
at the present time, and it is not known
what action he will take in the pres
ent case, but there is no question as
to the illegality of the proceeding.
Governor Lee is enthusiastic in re-
gard to the work of the state militia.
He thinks that the legislature made II
great mistake at the last session in
not making al appropriation for the
benefit of the guard, and says that he

SOME BIG MEETINGS ARE HELD
A Claim Made That the Cities Must

DlSCU6&cO.
San Francisco, July 13.-With the
meetings today the most successful
christian Endeavor convention ever
held will be brought to u close. The
program for the day and evening is in
teresting. Besides the early morning
prayer meetings the Christian Endea-
sor missionary force will speak at the
meeting at the Mechanics pavilion,
and u practical school Of Christian En-
deavorer methods had at Woodwards.
At both pavillions this evening spe-
cial conservation exercises will mark
the close OF all proceedings. With the
end OF the convention thousands will
take advantage of cheap rates to visit
the places of interest throughout the
state. The rush for tickets for these
side trips was so great this morning
h clerks could not keep the crowds
moving as rapidly as they gathered.
While the number seeking admission
to the big pavilion this morning was
still there were packed houses and the
enthusiasm was great as ut any time
since the beginning of the convention.
In Mechanics pavilion Rev. Charles
Roads Of Chester, Pr, delivered an in
teresting address on the necessity of
evangelization outside of churches for
the purpose of saving the cities of the
country. He said unless the cities
were saved all Christian dominion
would perish. "What can the Chris
tian Endeavorer do for comprehensive
evangelization? We must be loyal to
u churches, but we cannot save eth
er our churches or our cities unless we
work outside. The forces of Christ are
not adequate in any city to redeem it..
Organize, energize by the holy spirit.
Evangclize with penticostal faith and
power. Localize railway workers in
definite fields centralize the results
in your own churches"
Amos r. Wells of Boston uttered
these sentences: Some men pray for
the millennium and don't give q mill

lars. Why, E~ndeavorers, every year

necessity of q new pentacost to awaken
the world, spiritually.

his millions of followers to show the
old world something of the strength
of their organization. Nashville was
chosen as the place of meeting in 1893.

NOW SAVING THE LOW GRADES
Dumps Considered Worthless Arc
Enll of Wealth.


Rapid City, July 12.-Mine owners
in the Black Hills IRE at the present
day taking great pains to save and
store low grade ores. With the com
ing of the railroad, the narrow gauge
road to the mine, the chlorinntion and
cyanide works and the smelters, ores
which run $50 a ton are handled at Il
handsome profit now, while seven
years ago ore which ran $50 at Bald
mountain could not be handled at a
profit. Some OF the mills work ore at
much less than $40, one mill having
purchased recently a dump of ore
which went but $500 a ton. There is
close competition between the chlori-
nation and cyanide works and the
shelters, the former charging 81 less
per ton for treatment of ores. The
Cripple Creek ores in Colorado are
handled successfully by the mills as
lows as 50 to the ton. There are n
great many waste dumps about the
mines in the Hills which assay $12 and
less which some day will pay a good
profit to the owners when the cost of
reduction is lessened.
