Polly Piper Party.

Mrs. j. B. Lyon and Mrs. w.
3. Wisler entertained very de-
lightfully yesterday afternoon
at the spacious home of the
former on Eighth street. The
company was rather a mixed
one and one would not have
thought it to have been very
congenial as it was composed
of the Irish, Dagos, one Rus
sian, two Bostonians and one
Icslander, but if you could have
stepped in about 4 o'clock you
would have thought them all
the same nationality. After
the merry company had assem-
bled Mrs. Lyon passed clay
pipes, tissue paper, needles.
pins, ETC., and informed each
lady that she was expected to
make a doll out of the material
she had passed. For several
minutes silence reigned SUI
preme, which sounds incredible,
but the ladies were too busy
even to talk. After the dolls
were completed the judges
awarded the prize to Miss Mar
jory Lyon for having the most
artistic doll. The prize was a
large bottle of perfume, of
which Miss Marjory gave each
lady a portion. Later on a de-
licious three course supper was
served by the hostesses. After
supper the guests we're treated
to some very lively music,
which made it very hard for
some of the ladies to keep their
hands and feet still. After
much talking and laughing the
guests departed at a late hour,
thanking the hostesses for
such a delightful afternoon and
voting it one of the most en-
joyable parties of its kind ever
given.

37tll Birthday.

Monday last Mike Carver was
81 years old, and his friends be-
ing aware of this fact, conclu-
ded to make him remember it.
About 30 of the men from the
boiler shops, friends of Mr.. Car
yer, marched to his home and
took possession of the house,
and for about two hours the Wis
itors made it so lively for Mike
that he will never want to be
81 years old again. They pre-
sented Mr.. Carver a very fine
parlor lamp as a small token OF
their esteem and friendship for
their fellow workman, and at
near midnight they departed
for their homes, feeling that it
was good to have helped Mike
celebrate his 9th birthday.

OBJECTS TO BOYER DAM
A. D. Searles Wants Injunction
AGAINST Contractor Smiths
Plans.
(Monporo;l
MOnpareil.l


A. D. Searles, a farmer re-
siding near the Boyer river,
and owning a quarter section
of land near the point where it
is proposed to begin the Boyer
cutoff drainage ditch, filed an
application in the district court
yesterday asking an injunction
restraining Contractor w.
A. Smith from going ahead
with his work of excavation in
accordance with the plan he is
alleged to have in view.
Smith is a resident of Harri-
son county, and has secured
the contract for doing the work
at the price of l3 cents a cubic
yard. The ditch, which is for
the purpose of shortening the
channel of the Boyer river, will
be two miles long when it is
completed and through it will
flow all of the water of that
turbulent and uncertain stream
until it reaches the Missouri.
1t is alleged in the petition
that Contractor Smiths plan OF
campaign is to make the stream
itself do the chief part of the
work of excavating it's new
channel, and for this purpose,
it is asserted, he intends tc
merely scratch the surface,
making a shallow ditch the en-
tire distance. Then by dam
ing the Boyer at the point
! where the ditch starts raise the
level of the water so that it will
begin to run through the new
shallow channel. AS the fall
will be sharp, owing to the
shortening of the distance its
waters will have to travel from
that point to it's outlet, the cur
rent will be swift enough, it is
figured, to quickly cut out
new channel, thus saving the
contractor the expense of {;
large part of the excavating.
The farmer living in the
vicinity have reached the con
clusion that this dam will be
J the means of flooding all the
bottom lands and making it inn
possible for them to raise any
crops next season. Hence they
are backing Mr.. Searles in his
application to the court for {
restraining order preventing
the contractor constructing the
proposed dam.
The petition recites that the
Boyer river has a large part OF
Harrison and Pottawattamie
counties for it's watershed, ano
: that in the spring floods next
season incalculable damage will
: be done to the adjacent farms
if the level of the river is
raised by the construction OF
!, the dam.

Bad Service cn Wall Lake Branch
Moorhead Times.

The C. & N. w. railroad
company is further agitating
the feeling against them by
closing up several Of the sta
5ions along the line. The sta
tion at Preparation was closed
last Monday. Mr.. Daniels, the
former agent, will go to Bron-
son. AS soon as arrangements
can be made the post office at
that place will also be closed.
The depot will still remain and
those who wish to leave from
there can do SO by tagging the
train themselves. Berne, the
first station the other side of
Ute has also been closed. 1t
seems to be a hopeless case for
any better train service on this
branch. Trainmaster Smith
was over the line the other day
and made arrangements which
indicate that the service will
never be made better till they
are forced to do so.
The post office is now located
at the farm residence of Dave
Evans about a quarter of a
mile from the depot. Train
waits at the depot while a
brakeman carries the mail to
the office.
Orson also has been closed.
Hon. w. G. Whiting has written
to the railroad commission
asking that they take the
matter up with the company.
A letter of the company was
returned saying that they were
losing $l00 a day on this branch.
This statement is regarded as
hot air, however.

The groom and groomsman wore
the conventional black. At the

Official firures show that Il G
United States merchant marine
is now at the highest point
reached in the history of the
country, and this is in spite OF
the absence of a ship subsidy.
The tonnage is now 6,087,345.
Since 1900 there has been a
noticible revival in our mer-
chants marine and we have now
reached a point where we stand
second only to Great Britain
although it is by no means a
close second as England's mer-
chant shipping exceeds 9,000,-
900. However those who will
try to pass a ship subsidy bill
through congress this winter

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. June 15.--Prices Of securi-
ties had decided backset as a result
Of to-day's trading. Pressure deveI-
oped from the outset and with only
occasional halts and small fractional
rallies the level of prices sank lower
throughout the day, and the closing
was heavy at the lowest.
The stocks in which the great bulk
of the trading occurred have lost all
the way from TO points from Sat
urday's level. This includes the prin-
cipal coalers, grangers, Pacifics and
Southwesterns. The question whether
the market was on the eve of a re-
vival OF speculation for the advance
was thus decisyeiy answered and there
was a corresponding relapse In prevail
ing sentiment about the Stock Ex-
change into dependency and appre-
hensi0n. London took part In the sell
Ing and Western wire houses also sent
orders on an important scale. The SELL
Ing was not 50 large later In the day.
but prices yielded without resisting
power and there was no attempt per-
ceptibie 10 support the market.
The result u 10 Omen up former
doubts about the motive Of the sell
Ing and the extent 20 which liduida-
ton may nov be- pursued on the de-
cline. Most of the current discussion
had 20 90 with factors in the siiuR-

fore the previous decline was arrested
last Thursday. The uncertainty over
the corn crop, which fell into the back
ground in the satisfaction over the
government report on wheat, came in
to play again to-day and the excited
jump in the cotton market called at
tention afresh to the dangers of that
crop. Last weeks feeling chat the Gull
mination of the Western floods left that
factor amply discounted gave place to-
day to the realization that statistics of
railroad earnings from that region for
several weeks to come must show the
large inroads upon traffic and the large
expenses for repairs Of the damage
caused by the floods.
The assembling Of the coal miners
convention and the extension of the
lockout In the New York Building
Trades revived anxiety over the labor
outlook. Money was easy, but sterling
exchange recovered here and ran of
sharply both in Paris and Berlin. AS
a consequence there was close calcu-
lation over an export of gold by to-
morrows steamer, keeping alive ex-
pectation on this point. The market
closed however, with no announcement
OF any engagement. The satisfactory
recuperation shown by the banks in the
Saturdays statement leaves the sur
plus reserve still at low level for this
position 70 await with great interest
the compilation OF the returns to the
controller for June Of the condition
OF national banks throughout the coun-
try. The inference from the foreign
trade statement for May. which shows
a falling off In total exports compared
with last year Of over s2.000.000. is that
our exports Of manufactured products
are declining as the exports OF agri-
cultural products were slightly above
those Of last year. The news from
London that q prominent financier has
booked a passage home for this week

New Orleans, however, showed little
disposition to respond to the bullish
impulses end later cables from Liver
pool denoted a substantial reaction
there under what looked like profit TAX
Ing by bulls. When the first rush Of
covering here had somewhat subsidized,
therefore, the market became very ir-
regular and showed a generally down
ward tendency under realizing with
rumors circulated that the bull lead
ers here as well as in Liverpool and
New Orleans were availing themselves
or the advance to take profits. July
was soon forced down to 12.l7c; Aus
gust to 11.S4c; September to Hip, and
January to 10.10c. Then there was a
period of comparative quiet during
which prices fluctuated rather aimless-
~. But in the fasI hour there was an
other rush of covering and strong New
Orleans support with reports of a
break in the levee at Vicksburg,
which again sent values kiting with
the late months, especially SURPRISING
all previous high points for the season.
September sold at 11.S7c; October at
10.5Sc, November at 1045c and Febru-
airy at 10.20c. The list was finally
steady with 2@4 points of the best on
the late months and net IA to 3S points
higher on all options except June and
July, which closed net unchanged. To.
tai sales were estimated at LOCO, 900
bales. Port receipts to-day were LAT

lures.
