THE DEMOCRAT is in receipt of a
copy of the Dakotsn, a monthly
magazine devoted to the history
and progress Of Dakota, going
back into the territorial days and
including what today includes both
North and South Dakota. The
Dakotan, with its May number,
starts on volume FIVE, has every in
dication of being successful aud
contains just the style and charac-
ter Of matter cid timers can appre-
ciate. It is published by Doane

oumuiation of wealth or to the ad-
vaneement of purely material ends.
Men ought to be judged today
by what they have done, rather
than by what they have or what
they are. Bret Harte wrote few
short stories which will enable him
to live in literature for generations
to come. Admiral Sampson was
close upon ending his professional
career by the achievement of great
honor in his profession when his
physical ailments combined With
accident to deny him what appear
ed to be within his grasp. Arch
b,shop Corrigan by his able adj
ministra.lon of the affairs of his
church at the great center of
American wealth and population
and by the piety and elevation of
his life, realized all that he could
in reason have hoped for
In the face of the great good
achieved by these men for them
selves and others it cannot be said
that success such as theirs, or in
such directions as they labored, is
what appeals to the American of
today. The sordid thought is dom
inant that man to succeed in his
life work must die the possessor
of wealth. Yhe idea is perni-
cious one. Great wealth may come
to man in the achievement of his
undertakings in life; but he> who
makes the acquisition of wealth
for its own sake the object of his
life, no matter what his calling, il
no better than those beggars that
We road of from time to time who
have died in restitution possessed
Of much money.

NEW YORK, June 13.-There was a
further moderate rise in cotton. espe-
cially as the statistics continued bullish,
the worlds visible supply for the week
showing n decrease OF 141 900 bales
against 900 last year, spot markets
being firm and bears manifestly rather
nervous.
On the other hand, bulls were not ia
clined TO be over aggressive. No rain
was predicted for today in Louisiana
and North Carolina, but was Indicated
for the rest of the cotton belt, and It
does not appear that as yet the plant
has been seriously damaged, although
the growth has undoubtedly been ar
rested.
The continent continues to be good
buyer and the South and Wall Street
bought to some extent.
The market closed quiet and steady
with quotations 1 to 10 higher, as com
pared with yesterdays closing prices:

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Wheat Rules Firm on Covering by

CHICAGO, June 13.-Further covering
by shorts on unsettled weather condi-

all day and the close was nc higher
than last night. Foreign markets were
generally steady. Liverpool closod y
higher for the day. Continental mar
kets were quiet. and Paris. after open
weather conditions. Trade was large
all day and great deal of short wheat
has been covered
Corn had light trade today and the
market ruled quiet. The principal fea- :
ture was selling by Armour & Co., sup
posed to be for the bull crowd. while
st. Louis shorts were said to be the best
buyers. Outside of this there was no
special feature to the market, which
closed July n lower, September un-
changed, and December 4 higher than
yesterday. Offerings continue light. but
cash demand is still quiet Foreign mar
kets were weak.
Oats-There was large and active
trade in oats and the market during the
greater part of the session ruled strong.

Provisions opened stronger on higher
hogs and advance in grain. Later ruled
very dull. with advance mostly lost.
There was selling of July ribs credited
to a prominent holder that sold so free

bullish feeling of pit traders and the
selling of pork by prominent brokers
brings out some longs that are loosely
held.

New York, Feb. ia story was CIR
culated yesterday that securities-holdlng
company is to be organized under the
laws of New Jersey with capital OF be-
tween $50. oOO 900 and 500, 100000, which
would 'practically unite under one man
agement and in community OF interest
some of the principal smaller banks OF
the country"
According to the story. at least one
hundred banks would be embraced IN the
Man. which, if carried into effect, would
'mean that the branch bank system that
is so successfully operated in Canada ana
Great Britain will, in effect be in opera
ton in this country. only in another way
that is, through the medium of the Sc
curities company plan"
Tn some quarters it was supposed that
the story grew out of a scheme suggested
some time ago for a combination OF Ger
tain banks. The National Park bank OF
this city. two banks in ST. Paul and
bank in Chicago were mentioned in con-
necticn with it, and st. Paul man, IL
was said is to be president.

Schooner Is Abandoned by Crew In
Sinking Condition.
Gaze May, N. J., Feb. Is. - The
schooner Frank Herbert, with cargo
of pine lumber from Opecoke, N. c.,
for New York, was abandoned in a
sinking condition off here yesterday, 1T
being the second vessel to fall a victim
this week off this coast to the great
ice fields floating out of Delaware bay.
The distress Of the schooner was first
disco vered on shore by the Gold Spring
lifesavers. who Immediately launched
their yawl and made an attempt TO
reach the vessel. The Herbert was
about five miles off shore, and, owing to
the heavy ice fields the life-savers were
unable to reach the distressed schooner.
Fortunately the tug Harold, with a
tow of barges, hove in sight and after
signalling the barges to anchor the tug
went to the rescue. 1t was found that
the schooner had been caught in the
