NEW YORK, August There was
sone increase in point of activity In to-
days stock market in comparison with
yesterdays total, but the whole volume
of business still failed to measure up to
last weeks averages. The tone or the
market at large was again decidedly
strong. and the mean level of prices was
carried during the day to the highest
point reached on the recovery in prog
ress during the past four weeks.
There was observed in today's dealings
quite a marked shifting of activity from
those stocks which have recently been
most conspicuous in that respect into
other directions. Thus, in today's mar

stocks were aggressively strong and act

Notwithstanding the animation IN the

Agricultural Prosperity.

Breeders Gazette: Apparently the
railroads are satisfied that their bust
ness will be large enough during the
present crop year. Traffic managers
all over the country have it figured
out that the demands on their freight
service will be Is per cent greater
this year than it was last. Returns
from railway operations during the
year ending June 80, 1906, were the
largest in the history of the iron high
way in America. If the returns are
to be Is. per cent greater this season
surely a most prosperous year is
prognostieated for agriculture. The
|yice-president of the New York Cen,
trail lines, after an extended personal
investigation, has compiled a state
ment of what will be coming to the
farmers from the present crop. Ii
round numbers the total value o.
grain and other farm products il
placed at s6,734,250, 1000, or some
81, 100000 more than in 1866. TIL,
increase in the carloads to be trans
ported is s0,213 in a total of 5,705, 00t
cars The total revenue to be derived
from this haulage by the railroads i

WHERE is. BISHOP?
His Wife Becomes lnsane--A Very
Singular Case.

Minot Optic: Mrs. James Bishop,
wife of the farmer who mysteriously
disappeared several weeks ago and
whose body is supposed to be at the
bottom of a slough on his farm, is in
the county Jail on a charge of insanity.
The woman will be examined as to
her mental condition by the board of
examiners.
The disappearance of Bishop is
still a mystery. The police authority
who have been at work on the case
for several weeks at first thought that
Mrs. Bishop in a fit of insanity killed
her husband, but little direct evidence
to this effect has been secured.
Bishop who lived on a farm four
miles south of Minot suddenly dis
appeared a few weeks ago. 1t was
supposed that he had committed sui

FOOTBALL AT The
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE

closing game of the season, as has
been the custom in previous years.
Some years there have been two
games between the university and the
agricultural college, but the boys are
always opposed to this arrangement,
as in the nature of the thing a foot
ball contest can seldom be reversed
in the same season as it is played.
The last game IS therefore apt to be
an uninteresting game, especially to
the team which was defeated in the
earlier part of the season. The an
nua1 contest with the university is
due to be held in Grand Forks, and
no doubt hundreds of enthusiasts will
accompany the team at that time.
Among the features of the game
which will make the spectacle new
this season is the forward-pass: any
player being allowed to throw the ball
to his opponents goal; and the ex-
tension of the distances to be gained,
from five yards to ten yards each
trial In the old game the heavy
team only had Ito win five yards. 1T
will now be necessary to gain ten
yards. Not being able to do this
they will either have to pass or kick
the ball forward, usually losing it
under this arrangement, to the op
ponent This it is thought will oper
| up the game so that there will be less
injuries and more play in sight fol
THE spectators. It is thought tina
this last point will prevent the com
hitting of fouls. :t.>, 2. = -

Justice of the supreme court by Cover

considerable show of authority that a
petition from the lawyers of the state

court, asking that the September term

date early in January. The grounds
on which this adjournment will be

Judge Engerud has publicly an
nounced that he will resign from the

elected to the position ne now holds

made charges against Judge Engerud

RESUBNISS SION PLANS
THE DEMOCRATS HAVE WORKED
a SCHEME TO BRING THE ISSUE
s#% w. TO THE FRONT. 55s5ss

# Forge Forum: Hon. George NJ.
Young, state senator from Valley City.
was in Fargo last evening on business
and representative of The Forum
CHANGED to run across him, and asked
him about politics in Barnes county
and he replied that everything was in
very good shape there, and the entire
republican state ticket would be given
a good majority when it came to cleo
ton time. He asked if the scribe had
considered what was meant by the
initiative and referendum plank of
the democratic platform, and reeeiv-
ing negative reply, he said:
Whatever merit there may be in
the principle of the Initiative and
referendum as applied to conditions
in other states, in North Dakota it
means resubmission of the liquor
question. One clause of the state
democratic platform reads: We are
in favor of establishing by constitu-.
tional amendment the Initiative and
referendum If this was done there
would be a movement at once for the
repeal of what is known as the prohi-
ibition clause of the constitution, and
a minority could force a vote on that
question. A majority of the people
believe in retaining the prohibition
clause in our state constitution, and
they are not liable to permit it's re-
moval by back door initiative and
referendum methods. The democrats
have made bid for the votes of the
resubmissionists. They may get
some of them, but they should not get
any support from members of the
Iprohibition party, or those in the re-
publican or democratic parties who
believe in the retention of the prohibi-
ton clause in the constitution. 1t
may be asserted that even if minor
ity may initiate, it requires majority
to enact, and if the prohibition ques-
ton we're referred to the people that
the majority could sustain the pres
rent law IT is titisss true thai they
could and probably would, but they
wculd be obliged to fight an immense
campaign fund contributed by the
brewers and distillers''

has practically eliminated all appro-
