Falls Into Holiday Rut-Brief Recov-
 cry in Early Dealings.
 New York, Dec. 19.-The stock mar
 ket fell into holiday rut to-day. Be
 yond that fact there is little to chron-
 icle. There was a brief recovery in the early dealings from the decline which
 was in force when the market closed
 on Saturday, but fresh eccentricityt, on the part of Amalgamated Copper was the signal for subsistence of interest and sinking of prices as on Satur- day. The movement in Amalgamated Copper was not violent but the quick response of the rest of the market to its slight demonstrations was tes- timony to the state of terrorism in which an element is held by the threat of this stocks actions. The advance which was Interrupted by the intimi- dating effect of the break in Amalgam- ated Copper was not resumed with any l force or confidence afterwards, al though the copper stock itself steadied without disturbing manifestations. The TtSG McbS lSQ COlAopiCQAUuSly Uy United States Steel stocks and many reports were placed in circulation of the prosperous condition of the affairs of the corporation at present. The
 Pennsylvania group aof railroad stocks made it's almost invariable response to news of steel trade conditions and to reports of traffic officials, to tsle effect that the congestion of all commodities
 connected with the steel trade was so
 great as to threaten car shortage on
 the eastern railroad lines affected. Re- ports of railroad traffic from other secs tions were almost equally favorable and the days returns of gross earnings of railroads for the second week of De cember showed good uniform increases through the country. The bank state- neht of Saturday was considered as giving assurance of exemption from stringency over the year end. The year. ly requirements remain to be met and the current of gold is still outward.
 Demand was strong for exchange for Wednesdays steamer. that being the

Two Giants to Wrestle.

The wrestling match between
the south prairie farmer, F. A.
Fuller, and the giant Norwich
butcher: Ole Olson, will take
place in Jacobson's opera house
March 25, instead OF Marth II,
as formerly planned. Fuller
weighs PIT pounds and the big
butcher 300 pounds, SO there will
be sport for the boys when they
step onto the mat. Fuller has
never wrestled on the mat but as
he says, he has, tossed" a few
OF them elsewhere and he expects
to wallop the Norwich wrestler.
They will wrestle for 500 a side
and the gate receipts.

1t Makes a Difference.

When you stop to think OF it,
says one Of our exchanges, it
makes all the difference in the
world whether you are in church
or a theatre when it comes to Sc
Letting a front seat. In a theater
people will pay an extra price to
get a front seat while in achurch
the average person must be drag
ged to the front if he gets there
at all, and after he gets there he
will be 50 busy GUESSING the usher
for putting him there that he
does not hear a thing that the
preacher says. Yes there is q
difference.

Cursed Mark Hanna

A creature in the semblance of
a man stood in one of our hotels
recently and cursed Mark Hanna,
the man who died but a few days
ago, and for whom every true
American citizen is now mourn

whether you search the ranks of
the Democrats. the Republicans,
the Socialists orany other party
you will find great men, and
Hanna was one of them.

A Starch Factory.

Not long ago a manufacturer
in the east wrote to parties in
Minot for information regarding
the advisability OF opening up a
starch factory in this city. The
matter was not attended to on
account of the ones being busy
who were written to, and the
latter has been dropped. A bust
ness mems club might have in
ducetl that manufacturer to at
least come here and look over
the field-which would have been
as good as one as he could have
asked for. Some day we will see
the mistake that we are making
by not getting together and or
ganizing.

The case OF w. H. Carr vs.. Hon,
stain Bird & Co., contractors,
has been transferred from the dis
triet court to the circuit court OF
the United States, the defend
ants being non-residents. Carr
is suing for $4,000 and has en-
gagged the services OF LeSueur &
Bradford, of Ainot, and Atty.
Gilmore, of Mohall. Carr fell
81 feetfrom q scaffold while build.

The Reporter Knocks.

The Williston Graphic and the
Ward County Reporter want the
Minot land district divided. The
Independent is against this. In
the first place, we do not want
the district divided for mercen-
airy reasons. We will admit, here
in Minot, that we are public spir-
tied enough and loyal enough, to
want all the business that we can
get. That is why we have such
a prosperous city. You may call
it selfish if you please, but that
is the kind of selfishness, the In
dependent likes to see. The
Graphic calls the Minot people
who oppose the division of the
district pin heads. We want all
the pin heads we can get IN Minot
if they are OF that sort. The
Minot land Office is the best in
the state and the officers are get
ting the work out on time. Time
was when Congress might con-
slider the division OF the district,
but we do not believe that such
a thing will be done at this time.
While it may be true that some
people living in this district trav-
ell $50 miles to Minot to tran
sact business, think sOf the ad-
ditional expense for the govern
ment to sustain two Offices. A
paper which attempts to cut
from Minot, a trade which she
richly deserves, is disloyal to
every branch of business here
which is helping to support that
paper.

The mayor Of Kenmare an
nounced that all old maids in the
town would be required to marry
this year or pay a tax, unless
they could give a good reason
for remaining single. One lady

pected to remain single, but when
hizzoner got one look at her he
said, MADAM, you are excused. !"

No Cause for Alarm.

And still the ambitious mortals
in Williston hope to have the
Minot land district divided.
There seems to be no cause for
alarm however as there is no bill
before Congress. Williston had
a hard time to hatch up an ex-
cuse for the division of the dis
trict and in sending in the pc
tition had to count heads several
times to make 1900 population.

htINOT HIGH SCHOOL
BAND IS A SUCCESS
Pleases q Large Crowd at the Opera House
Friday EveSisS In It's lsltial Concert-
Boys Show Reaaskabae Skill.

Rah! Rah! Rah! Sis! Boom! All!
Minot High School Rah! Rah!
Rah.
Thus were several hundred of
Minot's best people greeted by
the members of the Minot High
School band at the opera house
last Friday night, in tones loud
and lusty. The band iscomposed
of 32 bright young men, who
were trained by Prof. Wolfe. Mr..
Wolfe has demonstrated the fact
that he is not only an excellent
teacher but band master as we'll.
Mr.. Wolfe organized the band in
November, 1908, but this was
their initial appearance in Minot.
To say that the people of this
city were well pleased with the
entertainment, is not putting it
half strong enough. Every nun
Der was encored, and nearly
every encore was responded to.
The curtain raised at 9 o'clock
sharp and the members OF the
hand seated in a semi-circle about
the stage, decorated in the
schools colors, Crimson and
Maize, made an excellent appear
ance. There was not a balk in
the entire program. The sue
cess of the entertainment went
beyond the fondest expectations
of any member of the organi-
zation, including Prof. Wolfe.
The boys play with expression
and keep excellent time. They
have gone to much expense in
purchasing instruments. The
High School Orchestra rendered
a number OF very enjoyable Sc
lections.
One OF the most pleasing num-
bers on the program was aviolin
solo by Matilda DAZZLE daughter
of Nlinot's popular merchant.
The little lady plays with great
ease, her execution being almost
perfect. She has been studying
the violin but two years. She
has a great future as a yiolinist,
if she keeps on with the work.
The vocal solo by Miss Blanche
Lynch, was we'll received. Miss
Lynch has a sweet voice which is
well trained.
Edward Ellison and Andrew
Carr rendered a cornet duet, in a
way which showed that they were
familiar with the instruments.
Leon Ellithorpe's guitar solo
called forth an encore.
Miss Katherine O'Dell sang a
solo in a very pretty manner.
Miss O'Dell's voice shows cult
walton.
One of the best numbers was
the piano duet by Misses Lucille
Weiland and Hazel Robinson.
Willie Cooper, impersonated
Indian Chief, Mud in the Eye,
giving his war dance to perfec-
ton.
The band cleared nearly $3.50
from their entertainment, and is
considering the proposition OF
travelling in this part OF the state.
The final entertainment will be
given in June.
The following is the instru-
mentation OF the band and or
chestra.

THE APPLE TREE BoRER.

The fly OF the apple tree borer will
soon be abroad and this suggests at
tentiOn to the importance OF watching
the trunks of the apple trees. The
tree in branch or leaf gives no indica-
ton of the fatal ravages of the borer
until utter destruction has been accom-
plished. The trunk and limbs of
weil-kept young apple tree will look
as vigorous and clean as though in
perfect health, whereas borers may
have girdled the tree with the excep-
ton of n single inch Of bark.
The only safe method lies in care
fully examining the trees at their bases
at least twice year. A slight spot
ting Or diScoloratiOn Of the bark indl-
Gates the presence Of the worm and in
spite of various elaborate cures and
preventives the old time method with
q sharp knife ana Wire. and also
sharp pair Of eyes seems to be the
most effective.
The fly prefers 10 lay lis eggs in rough
places or cyeyiceS in the bark of the
apple and Quice trees jllay above the
surface Of the grouudiuSt the place
where it is most inconyenient TO find
them and dig them out. \ practice
which / have found useful is to hill
mp the trunks about the time of the
year before the lily deposits her eggs.
Later this can be lcveled away and
what eggs have been laid will be fur
Their up on the trunk. where they never
seem to do so much Gamage.-G. f. NJ,
in Indiana Farmer.
