The Williston Cornet Band will give a
grand ball on New Years Eve in the
Opera Hall. Every persons who has the
best interests OF the town at heart should
purchase ticket and do all in his power
to make the affair success. The bows
have been practicing steadily several
nights a week for q long time and we
now have band Of which we are justly
proud, and the public should do some
thing to show its appreciation OF their
efforts. New music is expensive and
when the boys give their time the
people should see that the band does
not have to bear any Of the financial
burden. So buy ticket when the boys
come around and show them that YOUR
heart is in the right place.

days but it WAS only on Friday that the
neighbors learned of the fact and true to
promise made to the groom, and at his
former invitation, they set out for the

gratulations, and the accepted western

and shot guns-annOunced the coming
Of the boys, but Carl showed signs of
bashfulness and WAS reticent about max.
ing his appearance. Finally however
the stove commenced to smoke and later
the doors of the house were thrown open
and the boys met with warm recep-
ton, something hot in the way of liquid
refreshment was offered the guests,
which they were more or less reluctant
in accepting. After short stay the
visitors departed to the tuneful and

someone recognized the tunes of"A Hot
Time" and "Come Around Some Other
Night.

Williston has had during the past fall
and early winter a few cases of diph-
liberia, all of which, however, seemed to
be sporadic. At present there is only
one case in town, and so far as is known
there has been but one other case here for
two or three months past. There should
be no fear of an epidemic, but it is al
vays we'll to take precautions as to the
thorough CLEANING, disinfectlng and
fumipating of houses and out buildings,
TINS minimizing the chances of catching
apv contagious or infectious disease. 1t
is now universally believed by the best
nl,ysicians that MANY diseases are caused
hy small living organisms called microbes,
which can be transferred through the
air. water, or by actual contact to a
healthy person and then start up the
original disease. Among the diseases
that can be so communicated are con-
sumption, typhoid fever, typhus fever,
small pox. dlphtheria, measles and
vbooping cough. So bear in mind, while
cleaning and disinfecting, that you les
sen the chances of any contagious dis
ease obtaining foot hold in the COM
munity. Proper disinfectants cost onlv
few cents and they may be the means
of saving your lives or the lives of those
dear to yon.

Says Philippine Government Should
 Conform to the Constitution.
 Manila, May 17.-(3:5o p. m.)-Asuin- aldo. in an interview with the core spondcnt of the Associated Press today expressed the opinion that the Ameri- can government of the Philippines. in order to be internationally satisfac- tory, should conform strictly to the con- stitution. Asked whether he consid- cred the Filipinos capable of exercis- ing all the privileges guaranteed by a literal interpretation and application of the construction, he declined to express an opinion. Concerning the political and commer- cial future of the archipelago, Aguin- aldo was reserved. He said 1t was hardly time to discuss it, while in what he considered to be captivity. The military officials say he is kept guard ed principally for his own protection Aguinaldo says that he knows of no enemies, needs no protection. and Is willing to go out unattended if per mitted to do so. He is pleased with the municipal Ia wondering full local self lf-government.
 It is not expected Aguinaldo will con. tinue to he prominent in Filipino af- fairs. though his friends concede his exceptional abilities for leadership.
 Next week the balance of the Fili- 1no infantry will proceed to the Island of Semar. Squadrons of the 9th and 10th cavalry will also be sent to Sarnar.

STREET RAILWAY DECISION.
Question of Negligence in Operatini
 of Cars During Strike.

St. Paul. Minn.. May 1.-The Su- I'preme Court today filed a street rail- way decision, said to be the first in its line by any Supreme Court in the United States.
 The question whether the street car companies are guilty of negligence when they attempt to operate their cars in time of strikes was injected by the District Judge at Duluth in his charge to the jury, and upon that question the decision of the appeal case has turned.
 The Supreme Court, holds that as to
 its passengers, the company is not lia-
 ble for negligence in attempting to op- crate cars during a strike, unless the conditions are such that they ought to
 be reasonably anticipated. but cannot 1 do so and at the same time guard from violence those who accept it's implied invitation to become passengers.

DUN'S TRADE REVIEW.
Crop Reports in the Main Continue
 Favorable.

l New York, May 17.-R. G. Dun & Co. s review of trade tomorrow will say:
 l Crop reports continue in the main | favorable and ease in the money mar
 ket tends to encourage business enter
 prises which looked aghast at the col | lapse of stock speculation. The calm
 CT tone in securities is welcomed in all
 directions. As against the favorable departments referred to- there Is but
 one adverse factor. and the labor dis | turbances in several quarters are not considered likely to be a long draw back. Less urgency for early deliv-
 cry of iron and steel products was re-
 ported at manufacturing centres. With mills assured of activity beyond the
 middle of the year and some uncer- tainty regarding the labor organiza- tions' attitude on the wage schedule, there is a disposition to let new en-
 agreements lie as long as possible. Unusual activity is seen in agricul-
 tural supplies and some noteworthy shipments were reported during the week, while makers of this class of machinery purchased freely of bar iron. Structural shapes are in such active domestic demand that little at tention Is given to available foreign contracts.
 | COkei ipTOQuCIlOH IS Sllil euOTIIlOuS, dS | is natural with iron furnaces operating | at the greatest weekly capacity ever | recorded.
 Forwardings of boots and shoes from
 Boston for the last two weeks reached
 the exceptional total of 1902 cases. or AS per cent. more than in the corrcs-
 bonding weeks of 1900, /and since January 1, shipments excedeed last
 gears by l2.147 cases, while the increase | over all previous years was much more. | Both wheat and corn continue to sell l at more than 10 cents q bushel above
 the price at this date last year and the 1 fluctuations in speculative options are
 much wider. Contracts in May corn have been closed at phenomenal prices
 owing to clever manipulation at Chica- go and next crop options are sustained
 beyond the prices warranted by en- couraging crop reports. More foreign
 inquiry for corn increased Atlantic ex-
 ports for the week to 2,45S 6S1 bushels,
 aganst only 1,211.243 in the previous
 week, but the movement Is still far
 below the figures of year ago.
