Another Battle for Control of Unior
Pacific Stocks Seems to be on

mense buying in that stock is credited
tc the Morgan-Hill crowd as a retalia-

today is that the Harriman-Gould side
has won the first round by gaining con-
troll of the Northern Pacific. Hill ap-
pears to be worried. 1t is said Nor
gan has sent him a peremptory mes
sage that he must go to Hartman, sue
for peace and get out of the situation
as, gracefully as possible. General
fear fills Wall street. The battle for
Union Pacific stocks looks so much
like the disastrous Northern Pacific
fight that traders are holding off.

AFFIRMED.

The supreme court of the United
States has affirmed the decision of the
supreme court of North Dakota in the
case of the Red River Valley National
bank of Fargo against Archibald J.
Craig and others, involving the state
law relating to mechanics liens. Own
ers of certain property in Fargo exc
cuted mortgage in favor of the bank
and afterwards built on the land, the
the defendant filing mechanics lien on
the property to secure payment for
material and labor. The bank fore
closed the mortgage and the sale did
not realize enough to pay both claims.
Thereupon the lien claimants fled a
claim for the amount of their bill
which was allowed by the state court
as against the mortgage. This claim
is sustained in the opinion rendered.

dinner on market days at small hotel

She had long suspected that he ate
mere than the price lis. CD warranted,
SO she determined to test him. She &C
cordingly arranged matters SO that
there was no room for him at table. but
she took him into a private room the
table OF which was graced by a steam
ing leg of mutton. He set to in good
earnest. and soon nothing was left but
the bones. ,s.5. 3> SSs Ss 5ssxgS, j..

that will make everyone at home.
Many improvements are being made
around the city, the streets are being
graded and put in the best possible
condition and new tile walks that are
being laid will add much to the com
fort and looks of the place. The hard
work being done by the committees
III charge, including our friend George
Hughes as secretary, is a guarantee OF
success. A good rain appears to be
needed to put the country in the con

Messrs Cunningham and Bartron of
the committee reported the bills for
payment. Mr.. Reade wanted the bills
referred back without Recommendation
to let the council dispose of them.
He was not satisfied that all the bills
were authorized by the@council.
Mr.. Cunningham said the bills from
the old board OF health had been ap-
proved by Dr. Bentley and ought to
be allowed.
E" The McHugh bill for seventeen days
pay, $42. 80, for assisting the health
officer was discussed to some extent.
Mr. jackson said the agreement with
the board of health had been that the
compensation should be 81 day. He
believed in living up to agreements.

but didn't feel certain that the compen-

on.

allowed for this work.

to allow the bills until it was seen
whether warrants could be drawn and
the bills allowed might overrun the
debt limit, which was an important
matter when the question of bonding

INSURANCE FOR COWS.
Novel Association Formed at Ne
gauucex

The very latest thing in insurance prof
ects Is local association to protect own
ers of COWS against loss by their death
from natural causes, or the violent taking
off of their bovine property of that class.
says Il Negaunee Mich dispatch 1t
has just been formed and is known as
the Negaunee Cow Insurance associa-
ton. When 4 COW dies from old age or
disease, or is killed by the cars or in any
accidental way. the owner, if a member
Of the association, is paid $50. that be
ing the value placed on all animals in
sured. regardless Of pedigree, age, or any
other consideration.
The association already has a men,
bership of 40 and the number of cows
insured i more than 800. Each COW is
closely described and the description is
kept on file. SO that when a COW dies the
defunct bovine can be identified as one
on which insurance was carried When
loss occurs the amount to be paid is
raised by an assessment on the mem
hers
