A SoNG To NoRTH DAKOTA.
A song for the State that we all love best
20 our own North Dakota we sing.
Her broad stretching prairies from cas-
to west
To our own North Dakota we sing.
Her dawns crimson splendor, her sur
sets warm light
On clouds purple lustre that melts
into night
70 our own North Dakota we sing.
Her wheat fields aglow with the fair
golden grain,
To our own North Dakota we sing.
Who strive for such gold never seek il
To our own North Dakota we sing.
Her blue fax bells kissed by the vino
tenderly
Like waves softly stirred on great
asure sea.
No State boasts of treasures mors love
~ than these,
To our own North Dakota we sing.
In battle undaunted her heroes wer,
found
To their State bringing honor and
fame
And when with victory our nation is
crowned
They still bear the same glorious name
In stations of honor her people shall
stand
And share in the praise, of our owr
native land.

The jurors who have been sit
ting at the present term OF Dis
trict Court for Ward County
have ia every case brought in a
verdict for the plaintiff in both
the civil and criminal actions.
They probably go on the theory
that when a man begins an ac-
tion he should be recompensed
for his pains. Or perhaps they
mean to hold that every man
accused Of a.crime is guilty until
he establishes his innocence. No
wonder some Of the apiggers"
flew their kites and forfeited q
bond Of only 5000. rather than
take chances with such a jury.

Bears start Prices I'm Morning, blu
Inter Market

NEW YORK. March THE relief to the
banking position afforded by yesterdays
sharp iiquidation In the stock market was
manifest in the quleter tone of the trading
today. The banks were apparently saus-
fed with the cooperation erected yesters
loans. The bears started prices durlrg the
morning. but they found they were dis
p ISfissHs and nf'i they STOCK Covered SS theirs SIs't short con-
tracts. The result was to bring prices BACK
to about last nights close. At that point
proceedings came almost to a standstlll.
The ~relaxation of the selling pressure en-
couraged a resumption OF operations py
the bull pool in Manhattan, which lifted
was given A~malgamated Copper. the
strength in other local fractions and In
Missouri Pacific seemed to be largely due
to sympathy with the movement in Man
haitian. A rise of 4 points In General Elec-
trio and a recovery of AZ In Northwestern
from yesterdays wide decline had a reas-
surfing effect on sentiment. On the other
hand, there were large receSsions on small
offerings on the generally active stocks;
The stock market steadied with the ces-
sation of calling loans by banks, proved
that holders of stock will not sell at the
present level unless compelled to do so by
are restrained by the same restriction OF
credits. The action taken by the United
and stock conversion plan and the elabo-
rate outlay projected for Improvement
had the same chilling reception as has
been accorded similar projects by the rail-
roads, which promised heavy inroads upon
the vanishing surplus supply of capital.
The steel stocks made little movement,
but the bonds when issued were offered
freely on the curb. Syndicate support was
offered for a while at 95- but the bonds
were offered down to 92. Tine sellers argued
that the privilege of conversion for 20 per
cent of the preferred stock In the bonds
warranted an assumption of a parity OF
market value for the two Issues. The
prospect Of action on the Cuban treaty at
the extra session Of the senate, as well as
an advance In the price of refined sugar,
helped sugar. The decrease of 20 per cent
in January net earnings reported by Union
Pacific seemed to be ignored. h sub
treasury statement showed $47S,0OO more
taken from the money market and New
York exchange at Chicago fell back from
20 cents to IS cents discount. Call money
rose to ~ per cent late In the day and
additional offerings Of loan bills in the
exchange market caused a decline in
quotations there. The market closed
rather irregular.
Bonds were dull and irregular. Total
sales. par value, 31,76O.000. United States
bonds were all unchanged on the last call.
The following are the closing prices on
