BOSTON COPPERS

The Boston News Bureau Ct a recent is
Sue has the following comment on the
copper mining shares:
Nearly all the available copper securi-
ties-or. otherwise stated, nearly all of
the copper securities in the available
market-have now been disposed Of from
the assets of the lately failed concerns.
Boston copper stocks are now selling at
about one-half the price they would be
selling at We're they listed i'll the London
market, Notwithstanding England is in
the throes OF a foreign war that vibrateS
to every part of her empire and in every
monetary center
The only thing that is needed in the
Boston stock market for cOppers is lit
tie less Standard Oil and its methods, and
little more publicity. Utah Mining
would not now be selling at $25 share,
directly after the exhibit made in the COM
pany's annual report, were it not for the
fact that the report does not tell the
whole story and does not give the assets
and liabilities of the company, and posi-
bly, for another fact that every Boston
stockholder now knows, that the so-cali-
, ed Standard Oil party has been playing
him in the share market.
There has been altogether too much
monkey business" in Standard Oil cop
pers. The methods that have been Dur-
sued in oil will never go down with Bos-
ton coppers. The daily trading in Anal
gamated has been reduced to beggarly
100 shares to cover both the Boston and
New York stock markets, because every
body knows that the City Bank people
are loaded with it and would sell it at
these prices if they could mark down the
price of copper, drive other copper COM
panies into their control, buy up the
stocks again, and make another "deap'
! in "coppers"
Everybody knows that intrinsically
! cl,o
every three months, should not be selling
around 40; but if the great Standard Oh
party with it's many hundreds of millions
cannot put it up to proper price, who
can say If it is cheap. for who can know
when this companys ore is going to the
Anaconda smelter, and it's own smelter
has been practically dismantled, what is
the intrinsic value Of this property?
The same is more or less true of the
Anaconda. Here is a stock selling under
40, after the Standard Oil people had
bought three-quarters of it's capital at a
higher price, and the question still re-
mains unanswered, in respect to these
stocks, as to who has had the monkey
end and who has had the parrot" end in
the "cOppers" game.
| What is wanted in Boston, to restore
confidence, Is a little plain speaking. The
world is wide, the New England people
have many millions of money to invest
each year, and they are willing to put it
where they can see it, or at least be able
| to see it when they want to.
There has been nothing in the copper
| situation since the first Standard Oil at
| tack on Boston & Montana, either in the
| Lawson announcements. the Arcadian
booms, the Butte promises or the ANAL
gamated f1asco, to warrant confidence in
| entrusting New England money to a
| blind pool to enable A. c. Burraee.

Trio of Youthful Offenders Be-
fore Judge Sullivan.
HUM EPP USED HIS GUN
Attorney Burt Marsh Treated to a
Roast For UnprOfeSSiOnal
Conduct.

The case against Hum Epp, charged
with discharging fire arms inside the city
limits, was dismissed in Judge Sullivan s
, court this morning. Hum Epp In common
with many of his oountrymen in the
Chinese quarter, is keeping open house
during the Chinese New Years celebra-
ton. Last night he was entertaining a
number OF callers when the door was
kicked in by some boys, and Hum Epp,
who was standing near the door, was
dragged out Epp drew revolver and
fired it into the air several times to at
tract the attention of the police officers.
An officer came up and arrested boy
who gave his name as Tim Harrington.
Hum Epp was also arrested. Judge Sui
livan held that Hum Epp had not violat-
ed the city laws and discharged him. The
Harrington boy, who was charged with
malicious mischief, entered plea Of not
guilty and will be tried Friday.
William Kelly and John Killham, two
boys who We're arrested last night on a
charge of petty larceny, pleaded not
guilty and the case against them was
continued. Two cases Of beer bottles were
stolen from Marco Medin's place on West
Broadway, and the boys, while denying
their guilt, admit that they know who
took the bottles. The case against them
will probably be dismissed.
There was a mild sensation in Judge
Sullivan's court yesterday afternoon,
during the trial of Red" McNally on a
charge of vagrancy. during which Law
yer Burt Marsh was given some free ad-
vertising. When the case was called, Nc
Nally made a statement in which he said
Marsh had called on him after his arrest
and agreed to defend him without cost
Later he learned that Marsh had gone to
his (McNally's) friend and secured an or
der for his pay in consideration Of his
services in McNally's behalf. McNally re-
pudlated Marsh before the court and said
ne would prefer to take the full penalty
OF the law rather than have Marsh defend
him.
Marsh in reply, stated in justification
Of his conduct that his family was in
need. asa

A GRAND EXPOSITION

Nine Days.
Phinney'S United States Band Of 30

the Leading Attraction.
There Will bs Many Special Days for

BUT A SHORT TIME AWAY,
The Opening Of the Corn Palace is
But a Short Time Away When
the Show is On.

On Wednesday of next week the corn
belt exposition will be open to the pub
lie and the great show will be in full
blast The work that has been carried
on for the past two or three weeks will
be submitted to the gaze of the public.
That it viii be appreciated there can
be no doubt-of that we are quite sure
for we have heard the expressions of q
large number of strangers in the city
within the past week and no remarks
we're made bus what we're entirely in
praise of the fine and attractive build.
ing.
There is not very much to do on the
exterior of the building. Nearly all
of the towers are covered with designs
and about al there is left to be done is
the decorating Of the two gables and
the balcony on the south side of the
building. Decorator Robe has wrought
out some very handsome designs this
year and the whole building with its
myriads of ears ofcorn, grains and gras-
ses will presenta bewildering spectacle
to the assembled crowds during the
palace week.
On the inside Of the building the
work is being pushed along as fast at
possible. The ladies expect to have
their departments decorated and fin.
ished in time for the opening day
Some very handsome and tasty work
| will be shown at the conclusion of their
labors.
The one great attraction, OF course
will be Phinney's United States oand
Of Chicago. The band is composed o.
so musicians and concerts will be Civ
en- every afternoon and evening. This
band is to the west what Sousa's bsnG
is to the east and Phinney's popularity
with the musical public was never 81
great as it is at present, for his banc
simply plays its way into the hearts o
the people. Other attractions will b
seen that will add to the features of tn,
exposition. The military drill by tn,
4S young ladies of this city will b.
worth seeing. They have been drill
ing for the past two weeks and are max
ing rapid progress in mastering the in
tricacies of the drill. A chorus of lO
voices has been organized for the after

THE GREAT EXPOSITION.
Mitchell Will Show to All Who Come
Here on Corn Palace Dates a
Rich Show of Products.

Things are shaping themselves to-
Mitchell this fall and without question
the event will be greeted with the same
kind OF crowds present during the first
two corn palaces.
The work on the corn palace building
is progressing rapidly and the beautiful
designs that Decorator Eohe is work.
ing out on the exterior of the building
with the grains, grasses and other
material at hand will make an impress
sion on the visitors that will be lasting
of Mitchell's enterprise and of South
Dakota's ability to produce fine crops.
The south and west sides of the build
ing are being covered with the products
of che soil and this one feature alone
will be worth coming long distance to
see.
The interior of the building, how
ever, will attract the crowds. There is
hardly aperson who makes such trip
but what enjoys good band music, and
their taste in this respect will be graft
fed to the full. Phinney's United
States band of Chicago has been secured
for the nine days of the exposition, and
with so musicians, the music the
band will produce will be more than
satisfying to the people. The band has
fine reputation in the east and gives
fully as good satisfaction as does Sousa
or any of the other leading bands. AS
another musical feature chorus of 100
voices has been arranged for during the
palace week and at various times the
singers will render some fine music
with the accompaniment of Phinney's
great feature.
Another attraction that will be seen
frequently during the palace will be
the military drill of 4S young ladies of
this city. The company has been
organized and they meet two or three
times week in order to perfect them
selves in the movements and intricacies
of the march which they will perform
before the admiring crowds. Elegant
costumes will be prepared for them and
they will make handsome appearance.
Particular days have been set aside
for surrounding towns on which days
they will send delegations to the ex-
position. A Aberdeen and Redfeld will
come Sept. 81, Sioux City and Yankton
will be here Sept. %, Chamberlain and
intermediate towns will come Sept. %,
Sioux Falls and Canton is scheduled for
Oct. l, and on Oct. 2 Sioux Falls Elka
will have possession of the city. The
Elks from all over the state will come
to Mitchell for the occasion and it will
be one of thy biggest days of the nine.
The palace will be read for the OPEN
ing day without any question. The
work is far enough along to insure that
everythin will be in readiness for
Sept rs and from then until and includ-
ing Oct. it will be one round of pleas
ure for the visitors. There is every as
SUI ance that Mitchell will have 3 big
crowd during the exposition and the
people will be assured that they will be

Militarism and imperialism be re.
garded as mere hobgoblins, arrayed
only for the purpose of frightening the
people with something that could never
come to pass in free America. He said
that the South Dakota regiment could
be turned loose in the state and that
six young women could take the boys
by the ears and march them all over
the country-such was the fear OF inn
perialism among the people. Mill
tarism is an abhorent idea TO every
American citizen but the idea of ex-
pansion is one THAI is coming fast into
popularity and the results OF the past
three years along this line are most
the Philippines and of the war which
put our country there. The
war with Spain made it necessary to
fight the Spanish wherever they were
found and when Dewey was ordered to
destroy the Spanish feet and he
found it at Manila he obeyed orders.
This mad'- /. necessary to put up the
American flag. Had Dewey found the
fleet on the seas there would have been
no acquisition OF the Philippines.
When the insurrection came it was the
duty of the president to quell it the
same as he did when the trouble with
the Indians took place. had the pres
ident acted otherwise he would have
been critised for his forbearance. That
was all there was to the imperialism
idea. He referred to the great ad.
vancement made in Cuba since the
education of the Cubans commenced

accomplished in the Philippines. Az
to the policy OF government he stated
that it was the idea of Bryan to issue

THREE TIMES AND OUT.
The Jury Could Not See That Kear
ney was Drunk According to
the Testimony.

W. A. Kearney for the past three
days has occupied the time and the at
tention OF Justice McKinley's court in
his efforts to make the court prove that
he was drunk. Kearney was arrested
about o'clock Wednesday night by
Officers Rogers and Tremaine for being
drunk and when the time came for his
examination before Justice Mckinley
he demanded jury trial. Kearney
processes to, be lawyer and what there
was to the case he conducted in such q
manner as to prevent the jury from
agreeing. The first trial was held on
Thursday afternoon and after present.
ing the statements Of Kearney in bis
own behalf the jury disagreed. There
was nothing else to do but to try the
case again. This was done Friday
afternoon, and nearly the entire half
day was consumed over the case. The
officials made statements that they were
sufficiently positive that the man was
drunk, and Kearney at the same time
said he took several drinks of whiskey
during the evening. In his testimony
to the jury he stated that he was sub
ject to heart disease and that his con.
dition was due to that on the evening
in question. The officers both stated
that he fought them with great deal
of vigor for man with the heart
disease. Friday evening the second
jury made it's return and disagreed.
Saturday morning the third jury
was secured and the trial was rehearsed
again, the officials making the same
statements and Kearney proceeding
about on the same line, About O'Clock
the jury came in and reported to the
court that they were unable to agree or
a verdict. Justice Mckinley then
ordered the prisoner discharged, after
piling up the costs on the city for about
$50
| Any fellow in the future that nigh,
he arrested for being drunk can have
the same right and if he can make his
own defer Sc it seems he has a pretty
good show for his liberty.
