NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-Amid scenes
of frantic trading on the stock ex-
change, Union Pacific stock rushed up
ward 171s points share and that of
Southern Pacific 6% points today, after
an announcement of dividends far in
excess of what the traders had any rea-
son to expect.
The result was that a large number
OF traders who had sold the stock
short suffered sharp losses. and. c =
cording to an estimate reported by the
Evening Post, pool in Union Pacific
stock realized profits amounting to $17.-
100000 and a similar pool in Southern
Pacific $10,000000
Today's dividend was the first ever
declared on Southern Pacific common.
Brokers were swept into mad strug
gle to buy the two stocks within a
minute after the announcement was
circula ted and the excited scenes which
ensued had hardly been exceeded since
the. great struggle to control Northern
Pacific five years ago.
Shorts Unprepared
The shorts in both Pacifics were sur
prised and unprepared for the upward
rush which followed and led the
scramble to cover.
Within half an hour after the an
nouncement Union Pacific had bounded
up more than eight points and Southern
Pacific nearly seven.
Feverish activity prevailed the two
stocks throughout the session with
various halts in the upward movement
when the traders sold to realize profits.
Except for these halts the upward
movement in Union Pacific continued
throughout the day to the close, when
there was a slight recession on profit
taking.
Southern Pacific's advance, however,
was halted early and held. Union
Pacific's extreme advance was from
1925 to 179% and Southern Pacific's
from S37s to SO. Union Pacific closed at
17S1s and Southern Pacific at S7as.
The total sales of Union Pacific were
647, 100 shares and those of Southern
Pacific 4l1,6OO.

Pleased With Yellowstone.

]. R. jacob, cashier of the First
National bank of this city, was with
the party of North Dakota bankers
who recently returned from trip
through the famous Yellowstone park.
Mr.. jacob is enthusiastic over the
magnificent scenery and the many
curiOsities and wonders of nature to
be found in this playground of giants
and gods. Five days were spent in
the park, and with the exception of
two days, the stage trips do not cover
more than nine to seventeen miles,
thus giving the tourist an opportunity

3O6 feet and with every color of the
rainbow playing in the canyon below.
The party were fortunate enough to
see the Giant geyser in action, though
1t Is only active about once in every
seven or eight days, the monster hav-
ing been decidedly irregular in his
habits since the San Francisco earth
quake. This geyser throws out
stream of hot water twenty feet in
diameter which reaches the enormous
height of $50 feet, the stream con-
tinuing to flow for something like half
an hour when it subsidies to remain
until the next periodical flow. Old
Faithful, another geyser, not so large
as the Giant, sends forth a volume
of water every seventy minutes by
the watch, and never varies more than
a minute or two. At one point is
what is known as Hell's Half Acre
and Mr.. jacob thinks it is about as
near the proper name as could be Sc
cured. Sulphur fumes, boiling water.
kissing steam cause bad dreams to the
wicked who behold it for many days
afterward. 1t is the famous bath, a
basin surrounded by stone formations.
1t is the basin of a periodical spring,
and about every fifteen minutes the
cavity which before had been entirely
empty, begins to fill with a cloudy
colored water, and at the same time
begins to boil as though 1t were in
the hottest portion of his majesty's
domains. The basin rapidly fills and
as it does so the water becomes a
seething mass of amber liquid and
continues until the basin is filled,
when without warning it quickly SUBJ
sides and nothing is left save the
damp walls of the basin until the un-
seen power again begins preparing the
tub for another satanic plunge. The
government is constructing another
roadway through the park which will
add about thirty miles of scenery to
the itinery. The hotels and coaching
arrangements are under the control
of the government and there is no
opportunity for grating or over
charging The hotel accommodations
are the very best and everybody fares
alike.

Has Been Discharged From
Asylum and is Now on His
Claim Near Minot.

Martin Jensen of 4O21h DeMers ave-
nue., this city. a postal clerk on the
Great Northern, last evening received
letter from Henry G. Howard, a
former railway mail clerk, who, it will
be remembered, was adjudged insane
two or three months ago and COM
mitted to the state hospital for insane
at jamestown. noting that he has COM
pletely recovered his health and is at
his claim in Ward county for the bal
ance of the summer.
Mr.. Howard received his discharge
from the state hospital last week.
simultaneously with his recovery of
mind and body Towards wife, nee
Ethel Beavers, whom it will be re-
called he met and married through the
medium of matrimonial agency, Sc
cured divorce in the district court
OF Grand Forks county. Howard and
Miss Beavers were married in April
and before the honeymoon had waned.
the groom gave unmistakable signs
OF insanity. His friends In Grand
Forks are now assured, as were some
OF them at the time, that his aftliction
was but temporary and the result of
overwork or mental strain. He is a
young man, in the thirties. The d.
vorced wife, it is reported, has re-
turned to her home in the sunny south.
Possibly the news of her former hus-
bands recovery of mind will come
somewhat as surprise.

AANN|F|N Was
HERE
''Squatter Governor" of Dako.
ia Territory in the City to
Visit Exposition.

The only and inimitahle Dennis Han
nifin, more recently of Billings, Mont,
formerly Of Bismarck. Yankton, Fargo,
ct al. for thirty years "squatter gov
ernor" Of Dakota territory. by permis
sion of the succeeding legislatures.
was a visitor in Grand Forks yester-
day and made himself known and
heard in the Office of The Evening
Times, among other places.
Hannifin is one of the UNIQUE char
acters Of territorial days, a one time
soldier. Indian fighter, scout. townsite
promoter and writer. It ia in the
Office of townsite promoter that Mr..
Hannif1n. now in his seyenty-second
year, is serving. He is making his
home between Billings and Glendiye.
Mont.
Il have just come from my old
stamping ground at Fargo" said
Denny. as he likes to have the boys"
call him. Il had long visit with
Major Edwards, who, l am sorry to
say, is in very bad health. l told the
major the only thing for him to do
was to take to the trail and camp with
the Indians until he got better.'
IN answer to a query as to how long
he had been in the state, Mr.. Hannifin
answered that he was resident of
the territory at the time of the big
fight with the Sioux when General Gus
ter and his brave men were wiped
out. II placed the flowers on their
graves, that is, those of the officers
and OF two newspaper men from New
York who, while reporting the Indian
fights for their papers, met DEATH"
You are we'll acquainted, l suppose,
with Jud LaMoure, the Pembina chief
tain?
Sure. was around Yankton in
the spring of 70 when Jud is reported
to have won the townsite of Pembina
in a poker game. Enoch Stutsman
was then owner Of the site. e. A.
Williams, chairman of the late state
republican convention at jamestown,
was also there and, I understand, It
was he who dealt the cards. The story
as remember Is that deck of steam
boats was shuffled and five cards, one
at time. dealt of to the men. There
was to be no draw, simply a turnover
OF the hands, the best hand to win.
Jud, l think, got two dueces while
all Enoch Stutsman had was king or
queen high"
MIR. Hannifin has in his possession
letter written to him by the martyred
president. Abraham Lincoln, short
time prior to his assassination, in
which he praises Mr.. Hannifin for
bravery in battle. Naturally the pos
SCISSOR of this letter feels himself one
OF the richest and proudest men in the
United States.
Mr.. Hannifin expresses himself as
pleased with Grand Forks and was
surprised at the size and fine appear
ance of its hotels and buildings.
Yesterday afternoon he spent at the
Red River Valley EXPOSITION grounds,
greeting old time friends, watching the
races and buying popcorn and red
lemonade same as all the "boys" do.
He is interested at the present time
in townsite which is being estab-
lished along the right-of-way of the
Milwaukee road in Montana.

by the last session of congress, which

gin today and that they shall apply to
all carriers who have been in the

There is small army of them and
while they are away in the mountains

In the 2:16 pace and 2:10 trot this
