Philippine Cattle.

The enterprise OF the American
breeder has again been exemplified by
a western live stock enthusiast import
ing some cattle from the Philippine Is
lands, says The National Stockmsn. As
no specially valuable features have
been found in the breed of cattle found
on these islands it is doubtful whether
importations Of this kind will prove
profitable or popular. 1t shows enter
prise, however. and demonstrates that
there are but few things beyond the
reach of the wide awake breeder. It
will be a long time before a classified
ton will be made for Philippine Cattle
at our fairs, but they might be a valua.

IN FARGO.

PROHIBITION CANDIDATE FOR
PRESIDENT DISTINGUISHES
HIMSELF BY A BITTER ATTACK
ON REPUBLICANS.
John G. Wooley, candidate of the pro-
hibition party for president, was in
Fargo yesterday and in his speech made
a bitter attack on the republicans.
Nh. Wooley began his address by
congratulating the people of North Da-
kota, and of Fargo in particular, that
liquor was not for sale as a beverage,
for any price or to any person, within
the state. He admitted that there
might be places within the state where
liquor could be purchased in defiance
of the law. You may hunt drink in
this state" he said, but by the grace
of God it shall not hunt you"
In speaking of the army canteen, he
stated that 1T fourished by the grace,
or disgrace if you will, Of William Nc
Kinley."
He was particularly bitter against
the republicans throughout his speech,
and while he assured his audience that
he would not attack either of the old
parties, yet almost in the next breath
he hurled oratorical grape and canister
into their ranks.
Speaking of any party opposed to
the prohibition party in politics, he
said: II will not make an assault upon
any political party, but I wish to say
to you Christian voters that the saloon
man is better than the goodish man
who, by his ballot, makes the saloon
as lawful as the public school or the
church Of Jesus Christ. II you look
yourself over you will find that the

Mr.. Miller's Masonic records show
that he was born at Vienna, Austria,
Aug. %, 1916. He was made a Master
Mason by Mandan lodge in November,
1887. He was also warmly interested
in Odd Fellowship and was a Past
Noble Grand of Mandan lodge. In
the early eighties, when he first went
to Mandan to live, going there from
Minneapolis, he associated himself in
the real estate and insurance business
with the late Governor Briggs. The
firm dissolved when the latter entered
the political arena and was elected
treasurer of Morton county. For sew
eral terms Mr.. Miller held the Office of
register of deeds for Morton county.
Later he became official abstractor and
his records were noted for their accur-
acy. He was a member of the second
and third sessions of the state senate
and many of the valuable public meas
ures which are now a part of the state
code were framed by Mr.. Miller. In
all public movements his advice was
always sought on account of his supe.
rior judgment and foresight. He was
a thoroughly respected citizen, and his
loss will be greatly felt.

Continuance of Mckinley.

BERLIN. Nov. II. - German bourses
were completely dominated last week by
the election in the United States and
Wall streets Interpretation of it. FL
nanciers here had been arguing that
since a reaction here was started in
April by the decline of stocks and iron
prices in the United States, so the cleo
tons effect upon business would be
strongly felt here. This view has been
strilIingly confirmed. The large sales
in iron in the United States last week
attracted much attention, causing I'M
usual firmness in German iron shares.
and also giving a great impulse to
American railways.
Financiers here express satisfaction
with the outcome of the election inter-
preting the result as favorable to the
German money market. The Vossische
Zcitung says:
1.-The immediate future of the European
money markets depends upon whether
America will prolong the loans made 20
us or will withdraw considerable sums
from its balances. Should the latter
result have been caused through any
doubt with respect to the financial policy
of the United States the German market
particularly would have experienced M
slight stringency toward 1901. Mr.. Nc

The situation in America from the
British point of view is thus summed UP
in the financial column of the Sunday
Times:
1.-THE remarkable progress which the
United States has made during the -as+
three years will now proceed at an ac-
CELEBRATED pace. The situation is sound
with plenty Of money, every promise of
great activity in trade, increased profits,
greater earnings and better dividends for
railroads. America will continue to buy
and Europe to sell Europe will buy Ia
ter on"
The boom in Americans impaired vital
ity to the other markets, although con-
soils were lower. Owing to the frmness
of money the loan market recovered to
par. Home railways were mostly high
err South African mines, after improve
! ment, relapsed and closed lower, but
firm.
The hardness of money is not surpris-
ing, as the Bank of England has taken
100000 off the market within week.

while e3,O0O,O 600 will be needed this week

brisk, rates for call money ranging from
