deal of liquidation, resulting in material
decline in prices all around. The prices
kept within comparatively narrow

followed by fresh attacks by the bears.
Both domestic and foreign crop news
was favorable. Shows crop summary es-

to be far better than previously reported.

THE MARKETS..

New York, Aug. 25.-There was mark
ed decline in activity in the stock market
to-day total sales falling to less than
half a million shares. Very little evidence
was left of the recent upward tendency
of securities. The spots of strength were
few and far between and for the most
part in obscure and usually inactive
stocks which moved under the influence
of special causes. Depression from for
eign stock markets reflected here and in
creasing anxiety over to-morrow's bank
statement were the impelling causes of
the heaviness. Financial centers in Eu-
rope obviously labor under renewed I'M
easiness over the situation in the Trans
vail. There was in addition the prospect
of holiday tomorrow on the London
exchange to discourage new commit
ments there. The buying in New York
from that source was discontinued entire

ficient to exercise a notably depressing
influence.
There was an opening squirt in Amer-
can Tobacco which carried it up 1R per
cent, but this was almost Immediately
lost. The specialties were weak for the
rest of the day, Sugar being under severe
pressure at times. Its extreme decline
was q points and its net loss only about
a point less. Brooklyn Transit and
Manhattan succumbed to the prevailing
weakness. There was a notable buying
movement in Union Pacific preta""e5,
based on suggestions of a good inc"4a7e

Yesterdays dividend reduction and a
semi-official intimation that even the re-
duced dividend was not earned, climbed
up an extreme 9ss points on the urgent
demand from the short interest. Brook

INTERRUPTED HER SLEEP

There was a case of wife beating last
night and it wasn't reported to the po-
lice, either There have been several
cases reported recently, and some of
the compliments have failed to appear
and prosecute their bully husbands.
Had the last affair been put in the
laws hands and brought into court
there would have been a very interest
ing report to make, no doubt.
Out near Timber butte there is a
small camp of Indians, and among the
nomads is an ugly old buck who, it
appears, takes delight in pummeling
his squaw. Last evening he returned
from somewhere and found his wife
reclining on an improVised diVan in the
family tepee. There was no fire under
the tripod in front of the castle gate,
nor was there any cold grub for the
buck. The good wife had been up town
foraging all day and succeeded in
scraping together a few ham bones and
wooden shirt. She was tired and. nat
urally enough, following the custom of
her race, she lay down to rest her weary
bones. But, alas! the old man came,
and there was trouble.
The big Indian roared and the good
wife was aroused from her peaceful
slumbers. She sat up on the couch. and
when squarely seated her husband
slapped her face and she fell back in
an affected trance. That made the old
man hot, and he kicked his wife while
her face was turned to the wall She
pleaded in Cree, but the old man was
hard of heart and he kicked her again,
this time so hard that she rolled out
under the tent flaps and found her.
self piled up on an ant hill.
She talked and thought in the Ian
guage of her tribe, but it was inter-
preted to mean. II will get even on the
old duffer if it takes all summer"
Accordingly, she crawled out to the
woodpile a few feet distant and, taking
up a. four-foot sapling. went into the
tent on tiptoe. She espied the old buck
peeping out under the flap through
which his good wife had gone a few
minutes before. The attitude as he
peeped was the most picturesque thing
the good housewife had seen since she
marched in Sol Levy's phalanx on July
4. The sapling at once became uneasy
and difficult to control. Before the
squaw gould say jack rabbit the long
saplfng had found Judgment on the old
mans frame while he peeped. He bolt
ed out and across lots towards another
tent, where he had figured that his wife
had gone for protection, after he had
sent her out through the same passage
way he had so unceremoniously taken
Before he reached the tent he saw
his wife running after him. He con-
tinued hct-footed and his good wife pur-
sued him. She chased him as far as
the Holland rink and returned to the
tent and resumed her nap.

IMPROVE MENTS.
The Order of the Day at the Police and
Fire Stations.

Great Falls, Aug 25.-Down at the
fire house and police station the Off
Gals have been taking advantage of
the quiet summer season and have
made numerous improvements in the
place. In front of the fire hall the side
walk has been raised so that the wagon
can go out without jolting the teeth out
of the men on it and the doors have
also been recessed so that they will no
longer be the sport of the winds. In
the eastern wall a window has been
cut and the place on gloomy winter
days will no longer look like the interior
of a repentant's cell, Fresh paint ap-
pears all through the building. In the
marshars office the walls have been re
papered, a new carpet laid on the floor
and all of the woodwork touched up
The same improvements have been
made for prisoners, and again up stairs
in the police court. The latter has been
so beautified that Judge Hawkins when
he returns from his summer vacation is
likely to forget himself and, believing
that he is in church instead of his Of
flee. give voice to melodious hymns in
stead of the old grind, "Your face is
getting altogether too familiar here.
and I will have to give you about 10
days on the rock pile. Mr.. officer, see
that he gets a heavy hammer"
