Canadian Thistle.

The Can adam thistle, the worst pest
ever infesting any country, has, accord
ing to reports to The Gazette, gained a
foothold ia North COlfaX. AS the story
goes, three years ago an agent for a
northern New York nursery delivered a
shipment of trees near the depot. In
the packing we're the seeds of Canadian
thistle, a scOurge wherever implanted
and especially so in the eastern prov
inces of Canada and northern New York
There is now nearly half an acre near
the depot in bloom. If not cut down
quickly, while the stems are hollow, the
winds will carry the seed all over the
country; and while The Gazette is not
an alarmist, it simply warns against
this evil, taking the word of Canadians
and New Workers, that it is the worst
pest known to broad and fertile acres.
There will be enough seed from this half
acre to sprOut the whole country, and
wherever Canadian thistle gets a foot
hold the country is ruined "a stitch in
time saves nine," and it is the duty,
under state law, for the road supervisor
to look after such pests. There is pc.
cuiarity about the Canadian thistle
that, if mo we'd while the stalk is hollow,
the 70 OTIS will rot. Left later, they never
rot and will grow several feet in the
ground,

THIS is A MERRY ROW.
Democrats Are Fighting Over A
Telephone

lhere Is merry row on between the
democratic end of the county commiss-
toner's and Assessor Duff, democrat
MT Dun is gentleman of the old school
with stiff backbone. He considers
himself badly used by HinchIiff and
k'emgard. He says the republican
member, Mr.. Willard, is the ONLY gentle,
man on the board.
The trouble arose through a recent
order by the democratic majority of the
commissioners that the telephone in the
assessors office should be abolished. II
costs something like 81 month end is
great convenience and time saver in
the transaction of public business in
that office.
When the commissioners ordered the
telephone out, Assessor Duff put 10 the
plea that 1t was necessary to the proper
performance of his duties. The plea
carried no weight with Hinchhff and
hlemgard and they insisted on abolish
ment. Then Mr.. Duff and his deputy.
Ortls Hamilton, agreed to personally
pay the toll. The matter run on thus
Tor month or two and came to a eli
max Monday, when the democratic end
OF the commissioners sent Mr.. Riggs of
the telephone company into the assess
or's office to tear out the instrument
personally paid for by the assessor. Mr..
Dun forbid the telephone man touching
the phone, and he acknowledged that he
mad no right to tear it away so long as
the tolls were paid.
Assessor Duff declares thet HincbIiff
and Klemgard are simply bull-headed;
that his telephone is paid for out of his
own pocket, costs the county not a cent,
and that these commissioners are az
gressively bull-headed in something
which does not concern them or their
constituents and are trying to show an
authority over elected officers which
they do not possess.

MADE TWO HOME Runs
Business Men and Court House
People at Ball.
Court House Declares 1t No Game
Because of Professional
In the Box.

The base ball game Friday between
the court house people and picked nine
from the business streets was productive
OF much activity, good and poor ball
| playing on both sides, and gentlemanly
row. The official score showed IS for the
business men and IA for the court house
people, who, up to that time, imagined
they could not be beaten by any aggre-
| cation.
In the first inning, with the business
end at the bat, seven scores at home
plate were counted before BeIlinger's
arm warmed to the work in the box
The court house boys walked out nurs-
ing a goose egg, with Goodyear in the
box for the business men and Chandler
Woodward behind the bat. Charlie
Bramwell stood behind to stop Bellin-
gers swift ones. Fan outs we're frequent
on both sides, and so were the errors,
but many good plays we're sandwiched
IN, Schultz for the business men and
Commissioner Hinchliff for the salaried
people especially distinguishing them
selves for heavy batting and earthquake
running. Schultz made a home run in
the fourth, and was closely followed by
ID. Warner. The ball was out OF sight
In the brush. Hinchliff kept up the
reputation of the people voted for by
couple of clean three baggers.
The game was pleasing to the crowd
until professionals were called in. De-
putty Assessor Duff was hit squareIy on
The nose while making third base by
swift liner from the field Ed Ewart,
on third, went down with him. Duff was
limp for few minutes and then pluckily
took his stand on first base. When Duff
was hit the courthouse people set up a
yell for Mitchell, salaried professional,
who was sent to short stop, and Abrams
was given seat on the bench
In the fifth inning Goodyears arm
wore out and he was retired by the
business men, Hilton taking the box.
The court house men made three and the
business men were sent the field with
goose egg in the sixth. In this inning
Captain Stuart retired and substituted
Rome Ripley, a professional. When he
was sent to the pitchers box a lusty
roar went up from the court house side,
but he was allowed to pitch that inning,
at the end of which the court house boys
had IA to ID. Then Fred Coleman was
placed IN the box for the business men,
who made five in the first half and shut
out the court house, scoring Is to IA.
The court house boys have declared it
no game because of Ripley going into
the box, and have issued challenge for
another game in which professionals will
be barred upon either side.
The first and second mines of the
COlfax ball club played a 81 to game
Sunday in favor of the first.

Bankers Organization Assures Finnn-
o. ciaI Steadiness.

w. G. Nicholas, in New York Telegraph.
Conditions in Wall street are in sharp
and favorable contrast to conditions reign
ing one week ago and two weeks ago. 1t
is the fashion to make comparisons be-
tween business and market prospects now
and during the period coincident with. and
following the assassination of President
Garfield. During the times between the
election of Garfield and the murderous as
Prices were practically at heir best when
he was stricken down. Stocks broke sharp
ly on the commission of the act, then raj
lied and remained fairly steady within
moderate fluctuations until the death
scenes, ninety days later. A protracted de-
cline set in and continued with unimportant
famous bankers panic of 1884 might be
said to have been the climax of forces set
In operation in the summer and fall of 1881.
The Garfield assassination Is therefore as
ISOLATED in mems minds with calamity and
depression.
4 bankers panic on Wall street now
would be next to impossible. The bankers
are organized as they never have been
berore, and they work in pursuance to
agreed programmes and policies. They pull
together in emergencies. In those sacri-
fetal days of ~1SS1-1SS5 they had no o~rganiza-
ton and it was every fellow for himself,
the old man catching the hindmost. AT
the present day there is a hard and fast
combination under the style of the Asso-
ciated Banks, an organization consisting
of sixty-two banking institutions. The

ton and a committee of less than a dozen
picked man dominate the association and
control it's actions. Back of the recognized
combination are the great trusts and in
surance companies, with an aggregated
cNiital of hundreds of millions of dollars.
In normal times the financial district Is
split up into factions, struggling for a
lions share OF profits on innumerable
schemes and projects for the production
and sale of new securities. but when a
real emergency appears fractional quarrels
and Jealousies disappear and a united front
is presented against a common danger.
This was s~trikingly illustrated in the crisis
incident 10 the assassination of the Pres
ident. The giants forgot their selfish plot
tings for each others downfall and their
own advancement, and got together for a
campaign for self-preservation. The or
ganization of the multimillionaires and
their loyal followings became instantane-
ously compact and common cause was made
against the forces of disintegration, cow
ardice and suspicion. In protecting them
selves and their selfish interests they con-
tribute amazingly TO the well-being of the
whole country.

Copper Leads the Market.

IGranger Farwell & Co.'S telegram
NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-To-day's market
opened irregular. Morgan and Vanderbilt
were disposed to bid prices up moderately,
the Goulds were buyers of Manhattan, but
the Standard Oil interests were not dis
posed to help the bull movement. but
seemed rather willing to see the market sell
a shade lower until later, when the money
market is in better shape to permit a sus-
tanned advances: the situation, therefore,
was confusing and brokers were loath to
make any predictions. Foreign exchange
was strengthened by the report that the
other war loan. but call money was offered
readily at 4 per cent. Foreign houses had
only moderate orders, about equally dis
tributed on both sides of the market, but
did not figure. as largely in the days trans
actions as during the last week. The scalp
ing element; which early in the day took
the long side, later threw their stocks on
the market, causing a sharp break, which
was but partially recovered at the close.
Steel stocks declined in sympathy and
closed at near the lowest price of the day.
Boston is said TO have let go of 10000 shares
of copper in the last week. There seemed
to be two factions at work, with the one
acting on the belief that the urgent neces-
sity of supporting values incident to the
death of the President had passed, in the
ascendency. Sugar sold ex rights 61s per
cent. and made a recovery of nearly two
points in the last half hour. Berlin, which
bobbed up as a factor, bobbed up again
this morning with an advance of 2 per cent.

caused a glOOminess in London.
