THOSE ENERGETIC BOARDMAN LADIES.
 The Ladies' Aid society held their third annual supper and sale in the Sunday school building on Thursday afternoon and evening. About 175 persons attended and partook of the good supper, consisting of biscuit, sliced ham, baked beans, pressed chicken, beef loaf, escalloped potatoes, potato salad, pickles, cake. cheese, pies, buildings, tea and coffee. After the supper, at about 10 o'clock, it was announced that an auction sale would take place and the many useful and fancy articles made by the ladies of Boardman, consisting of bedquilts, ticks, aprons, shawls, sofa pillows, cushions and many things we are un- able to enumerate were sold to the highest bidder. The bidding was brisk and nearly everything was sold, the gross receipts of the evening being SHEA, netting the society S1OO. This society was organized about three years ago. Their object was to estab- fish furnishing fund for our Sunday school building. In December last the society expended about $175 for furnishings for the Sunday school building. Now their efforts are turned toward relieving the Sunday school society of their indebtedness on their building, and we trust that be- fore April 1 we shall see the society clear of debt. They are laboring on earnestly and faithfully, pressing on l to the mark, the prize, the high call ing of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. I*

SLIDE BLOCKS UNION PACIFIC
Second slip at Aspen Tunnel VIII
Require Ten Days for Re-
mOval.

EVANSTON, Wyo.. April 1S.-(special
Telegram.)--A second landslide occurred
this afternoon at Aspen tunnel, where the
slide came down yesterday. The second
slide was Of immense proportions cover
ing the track twenty-five to fifty feet deep
for distance Of 500 feet, and as this por-
tion of the track is in a cut 1t effectively
blocks up the way. 0fieials stated tonight
that it would require from ten days to two
weeks to make the track passable Other
slides occur at this point at frequent in
tervals making the work of clearing the
track extremely dangerous. At least 50 900
yards. Of dirt and rock now lie In the rail-
road cut and the end OF the tunnel is BADLY
caved in so that no work OF clearing the
track can be done from that end There
are now 800 workmen and a steam shovel
at work hauling away the dirt from the
cut.
1t is the intention of the railroad COM
pany to transfer its two fast mail trains
around the slide. All other trains will
run via Pocatello, over the Short Line rail-
way from Granger. Assistant Superin-
tendent G. NJ. Ward and Tranmaster H. j.
Roth are on the ground personally super
intending the work. They state there is
no way a track can be built around the
slide and the only way of getting through
is to haul every cubic foot OF dirt away
with construction trains.

WALL STREET HAS BAD DAY
Decline in stock of Northern Securi-

Whole List.

NEW YORK, April 1S.-shares of the
Northern Securities company were ex-
tremely weak on the curb today, selling
OF to 9Sh, a decline of 5h points from
last Thursdays closing quotations, during
the early session. Much of the selling
came from Stock exchange houses and
there seemed to be no support. There Is
little doubt that some Of today's selling
was OF forced character.
The course of Northern Securities was not
without its effect on the general stock
market, prices yielding considerably. De-
clines of to points were common.
Call money was offered at per cent, but
the demand was light.
During the noon hour Northsrn Securities
broke to SO and then rallied a point
The break in Northern Securities was
followed by increased weakness all through
the active stock list. A number Of stand
ard railway shares made new low records
for the present move. including Pennsyl-
vania and New York Central. The decline
in these issues was less severe than in a
number of other stocks, for example, Atchi-
son, Baltimore & Ohio. Northwestern, st.
Paul, Delaware & Hudson, Union Pacific
and Rock Island, all OF which broke or
more points. Lackawanna fell 10 points
on the very light trading. st. Paul g.
San Francisco common fell 6h, Reading

There was a 1O-point decline in American
Express on a sale OF 100 shares. Southern
Pacific sold to within a fraction OF its low
record and a number OF the minor railroads
registered material declines.
Common report attributed the severe
break to heavy selling by the western
clique and a prominent local operator So
! far as could be learned in the early after
noon the banks were not calling loans, but
brokers we're demanding additional margins

STAMP TAXATION SUSPENDED

PEKIN, April 13.-The dowager empress

The edict assigns the poverty of the peo-
pie as the reason for the repeal of tho
scheme. but it is believed Yuan shi Kai's
enemies procured It for the purpose OF
crippling his proposed reforms.
One OF the contemplated effects of the
plan would have been to secure honest re-
turns for taxes collected and to deprive
minor officials Of large perquisites. The
