FRACTIONAL BREAKS
ON THE STOCK BOARD
LOSSES SUSTAINED BY DEALERS
Heaviness Caused by News From
Paris Concerning Peace
Negotiations.

New York, Nov 1S.-Tne stock market
after the opening, became heavy and
fractionally lower with the trading ele-
ment ranged on the bear side. The news
from Paris regarding peace negotiations
was regarded as disquieting and a bearish
feeling was encouraged by hints of in
creased friction between the Pacific
Northwestern interests. A sharp break of
over per cent in Delaware and Hudson
and of over point in New Jersey Central
and a fall of ii per cent in American
Tobacco helped to induce selling for both
accounts.
Chicago Gas was an exception, advanc-
ing a point on rumors of a coming stock
subscription privilege.
Comparative firmness was shown by the
Atchison preferred, Rock Island, and B.
& o. issues.
In the general list the character of buy
ing seemed improved. In Government
bonds the threes were up TO Is per cent.
At noon the stock market was again
irregular with the ma jority of the list be-
low the opening quotations. Among the
stocks which made gains were American
Sugar American Tobacco and Chicago
Gas, the latter advancing IA per cent.
The balance of the changes were frac-
tional Trading continued active.

Eastman. Of Lake Charles, at the ST. Charles
Hotel last night, that is fast being converted
into a fertile rice belt. Pumping plants are be-
ing put in all through that section, which are
converting the place into one OF the richest and

has been big rice year. The crop was damaged
by the September storm, but moi so very much.
All through the Lake Arthur region the irrigat
ing system is being adopted. The planters are
not depending upon Providence rice any more.
They found that it was too uncertain, and they
could not afford TO get only one crop out OF
every three or four. But with canals Of water
penetrating the prairies and powerful pumping
plants scattered here and there for raising the
water the Louisiana rice belt is assuming new

Willett and Gray of the Sugar Trust
newspaper are responsible for the
strength OF Sugar undoubtedly. They
publish a statement that the total raw
sugar in sight is very small, compared
with last week and with year ago. The
Trust is popularity supposed to have
fine control of a large part of this raw.
If one insists in speculating IN Sugar the
best advice at present is undoubtedly to
buy. despite the continued attacks of the
bears.
There is much interest in tobacco trade
matters among the brokers and specu-

ing definite shape. and is of a nature in
every way inimical to the Tobacco Trust
1t is predicted with great confidence by
people who are closely in touch with the
new company that its business will be
very large from the beginning. One of
the statements made is that the Nation
al Tobacco Company. the maker of the
Admiral ciragette, is to be a part of the
Union Company. Another story is that
several of the important people in the
Trust Company have deserted for the
new concern. Tobacco should be at a
much lower figure within a very few

The Name Sent In.

The Washington correspondent of the
st. Paul Dispatch says: Senator Hans
brough wins the second round in the
North Dakota fight. President Nc
Kinley, on the showing made by Hans
brough and Mayor Patterson, today
sent in the name of Mrs. Patterson for
postmistress at Bismarck. It is hardly
likely that a contest will be successful
in the senate. Senator Wolcott, chair
man Of the committee on p~ostofices
and post roads, is a warm friend of
H~ansbrough, who believes like Wolcott
in bimetallism. Chandler of New
Hampshire, and Carter of Montana,
are also warm friends Of Hansbrough.
These dispatches have maintained from
the first that Mrs. Patterson would be
appointed and confirmed. Representa-
tive johnson says that the matter is by
no a closed incident, but is not
ready to say what his next move will be.

HONE DRESSMAKING.
HOW THE. WHOLE FAMILY CAN
DRESS WELL AT SMALL
COST.

No Need Of Looking Shabby Even
Though Times Are Hard-Easy to
Make Old Gowns and Suits Look
Like New When One Knows How.
Il is astonishing how much can be
made from seemingly useless garments
by the woman who knows how. The
old faded gown that is out of style can
be readily dyed with Diamond Dyes to
a fashionable color and then made over
so that it will look almost like new.
Suits for the boys can be made from old
ones discarded by the father, and bath
in Diamond Dyes will make them look
like new. Dresses and cloaks for the
little girls can be made with but little
trouble and scarcely any expense, from
cast-of garments of the older folks, and
when the color is changed with Dia-
mond Dyes, the made overs will look as
though they were fresh from the dress
maker.
Diamond Dyes are made especially for
home use, and the plain directions on
each package make it impossible for
even the most inexperienced to have
poor luck with these dyes. They color
anything, from ribbons, feathers, and
scarfs to heavy coats and gowns, and
make perfectly n%on-fading colors. even
handsomer than those make by the pro-
fessional dyer.

recently named for the Gothenburg,
Sweden, consulate, who was summoned
to take the departmental examination
Preliminary to his appointment, arrived
here today. Senator HansbrouRh said
today that he had no doubt the appoint
ment of Mrs. Patterson to be postmis-
tress at Bismarck would be sent to the
senate ina few days. He said that Mrs.
Patterson is now holding the Office and
has had the Endorsement of the leading
citizens of Bismarck, and he feels GER
tain the president will not act upon the
suggestion Of the representative who de-
sired the appointment recalled and an
other person named. Mr.. Hansbrough
denies that D. .. Tufts, whose name
had been sent to the senate for confir-
nation as register Of the land Office at
Fargo, is a silver man. The sem
ator says:
Mr.. Tuft was elected in the state SEN
ate as a republican in the last campaign,
and he is a straight republican today.
Mr.. Tuft, like a large number of repub-
licans in North Dakota, believes in the
use of silver through an agreement with
the leading nations Of Europe, but he is
squarely against the United States
opening it's minis to the free coinage of
silver.

Various Items of Local Interest Gath.
cred in and Around the Capt.
tai City.
Hunters Must Paw.

In the suit of Commissioner Shoe
maker against E. G. Cook and other
eastern parties, for damages caused by
a prairie fire set by them while hunting,
destroying his entire farm property, the
jury at Steele has returned a verdict
$500. The amount involved by the suit
first was about $500. The case has
been a hard fought one, the testimony
showing that after the prairie fire was
set, a back fire was started by other
parties and this was what had destroyed
the Shoemaker place. But it was argued
by the plaintiffs attorneys that the
original fire was the cause of the back
fire, and hence of all the damage, and
the jury apparently took that view of
it. General Hughes represented the
plaintiff in the case and j. E. Greene of
Fargo the defendants.
MI. Cook was the only defendant at
the trial. The other defendants had
their dispositions taken. Each defend
ant is over so years of age. The plant
if is past GO. and the fire practically
wiped all his property out of existence.
Mr.. Cook on the stand did not deny that
he set the fire. He was not asked the
question, and strong inference urged by
the plaintiff is that if he had been asked
the question he would not have denied
setting the fire. The contention of the
plaintiff is that Cook set the first fire
and therefore is responsible for the loss,
and further, that the back fire which
the other defendants set out, and which
joined the first fire, contributed to the
loss Of MIR. Shoemaker. Almost a car
load of law books have been used in the
trial. All the prairie fire losses dating
back from a time long before locomotive
engines ever set a prairie fire have been
invoked. The defense made desperate
efforts to keep the case from the jury,
but their efforts were unavailing.

to restore to the public domain lands at
the headwaters Of the Mississippi and

act by the president.
