GRAND JURY
FILES REPORT
The County Officers are All Com.
mended-JaiI to be Enlarged
Books Exported

TIE grand jury concluded its
work, filed its report and was dis
charged by the District Court Tues
day. The jury was in session, IS
days not counting Sundays and
one day that there was no session;
81 witnesses were examined and 6
indictments returned. The total
expense to the county of the grand
jury was $Iooz. TO of which 1884 was
for witness fees. The jury did its
work well. Everything presented
to it was thoroughly investigated.
The final written report says that
thorough investigat was made
of repc rts that alcoholic liquors were
being sold to minors. The investi-
cation confi med the report but in
sufficient evidence was obtained to
return true bill of indictment
against any particular offender. 1t
was much the same with the reports
of gambling. Undoubtedly gamb-
ling had been going on in Canyon
County. but the evidence could not
be procured. The jury recon-
mended that the citizens of the
county help the officers on all occas-
sions in putting stop to these IL
legal practises.
A neat compliment was paid |
Sheriff Nichols and his deputies.
The sher ifs office was thoroughly
investigated and found to be as
straight as a string. Sheriff Mich
OILS was commended for his ability
as an officer. The probate Judges,
Auditors, County Attorneys and
Supt. of Schools offices were found
to be in excellent shape and each
officer was Individually commended.
They each and every one were good
officers. The only criticism of
the treasurer's office was that
balances were not struck monthly
instead of quarterly. 1t was found
that the county has sos, 900. 90 in
cash, of which sos, 900 came from
the sale of the court house bonds.
The Jail and poor farm were ex-
amined. The poor farm was foun-
to be unprovided with proper
quarters for women inmates.
1t was advised that the poor farm
be so arranged as to provide for
women. The Jail is too small and
an enlargement was deemed neces-
sary. The jury recommended that
as soon as the new court house was
occupied that an expert accountant
be employed to expert the books
from the time of the organization
of the county. This is not done
because it is thought that the books
are wrong in anywise but just to
satisfy all. Judge Smith thanked
and discharged the jury.

Bad Fire at Dubois,

Dubois was visited by the most
destructive fire that has eve visited
that town, on Monday morning
last. Shortly after IL o'clock the
north portion of the Poison hotel,
kept by Mrs. M. Poison, was found
to be on fire. A terrific gale was
blowing from the north, and in a
few moments the entire building
was in flames. Adjoining the ho-
tel was the Dubois Mercantile Co.,
owned by Mr.. Ledford, which was
soon in flames. 1t was then feared
that the entire town was doomed.
The Miller & Pyke store, over 100
feet away, was on fire several times,
but by superhuman efforts was
saved. Mr.. Pyke moved his goods
and family from his residence, over
900 feet from the store building,
feeling sure it the store went that
would go too. This was some
thing of task, as Mrs. Pyke with
a broken arm was helpless. The
saving of the Miller & Pyke store
saved the remainder of the town.
Mrs. Polson's loss was about
$1,000 with 81, 800 insurance. The
Dubois Mercantile Co. about 81, 900.
with s., 500 insurance. How the
fire started is still mystery.-Ida-

DISTINCTIVE MILLINERY.

There is a charm and beauty connect ed with millinery at Muhlfelder's that has been long known and duly appre- ciated by discriminating people who want the best and only the best. The Muhlfelder business occupies a com manding position. Muhlfelder styles are authoritative. and when a hat is purchased there the buyer feels confi- dent that she has obtained the very latest and best that can be, obtained. There is a good deal of satisfaction in that No old style or left over goods are ever found on Muhlfelder's count CTS. Everything is of the newest c'ea- tion.

} Es1 ERDAT'S STOCK MARKET
A Dull AfTair--Almost Stagnant After
 First Hour.

New York, Oct. 15.-To-day's stock market was but a dull affair. There was considerable number of shares sold during the first hour, but after that the trading became almost stag nant and the sluggish movement of prices was almost imperceptible during the midday period. The selling was most noticeable in Union Pacific and Reading. Its character was not clearly understood, Revived assertions that government measures were in con temptation to contest some of the Un- ion Pacific holdings of lands taken over from the public domain were given as one ground for the weakness. Active selling was attributed to the so-called western crowd" who have been cred tied with most of the large operations on both sides of the market for some time past. The profound dullness which overlook the trading when these oper- ations ceased indicated strongly that they went far to mske up the whole market. The public attitude towards the market is one of entire neglect. The action of the market suggests also that the large financial interests which have been credited with a purpose to keep
 the market alive have desisted from
 the purpose. Various views are held as to the motive for this attitude. Polit-
 ical uncertainty is a fayorite explana-

 The market opened quietly with { downward movement prevailing during the csorning. Declines were from 3-4 tc point in some cases with Southern Pacific, Reading, Union Pacific, St Paul, and United States Steel standing the main pressure. Amalgamated's early weakness caused misgiving or account of the action expected by its directors at the Thursday meeting or the quarterly dividend Irregular re- coveries followed and the days net changes were very slight.
 The market closed with strong un- dertone, the advance in Reading, to- wards the last, being noteworthy. Some slight tendency towards increased ease was noticeable in the market for time money.
 The rally at midday seemed to be due purely to covering operations. Union Pacific and Reading were the most active issues, representing about third of the total transactions during the first hour,
 After half an hours operations by FAy. ho ,ti iV, orders came in for Reading below 1S0 for Union Pacific, for Southern Pacific at 94, and for United States Steel at AS 1-2. Some of the blocks taken on the decline around the prices mentioned were 1000 to 5000 shares.
 A report of some interest was that S2,0O0,O0O to $S,OOO,OOO gold had been withdrawn from New York for ship ment to Toronto for the purpose of pro- tecting the Ontario Bank in that city from a possible run Copper advanc- ed about IA cent a pound, but this did not have much effect on copper stocks.
 The foreign exchange market broke 15 points during the morning to 4.s455 for demand, under a heavy offering of cotton bills, but when the supply was exhausted the rate recovered all the loss and ruled steady during most of the afternoon.
 The international money market was prominent in financial affairs yester- day. New York exchange on London continued downward reaching ASA 5-S. At London private discounts moved up a fraction further towards the level of the bank rate. They are still, however. nearly S-8 per cent, below the official minimum, but money rose quotably on the German, French and Austrian markets. What was very noticeable was, that at Paris and Vienna, the open market stood squarely on level with the bank rates.
 London bought 15,0O0 shares on bal ance purchases being facilitated by the higher level on the other side. It is probable that this represented merely short coverings against sales on the other side. That there may have been some fruther shifting of Hong &C., counts from London to New York is also considered very probable.
 Steel common reacted to AS 1-2, where it has some support. It was claimed in the board room that w. L. Stow & Go had sold 50000 shares from 50 down They offered stock yesterday. Very definite statements are being made that the dividend will be increased at the end of this month.

directly according to compass and at rate of

In the year $780, when the center Of population was

joke about the young fellars" There
was no question of sentimentality with
them.
Lois and Jim were forbidden to give
a concert to spoil the last evening, so
they padded swiftly along the south
shore. At length Jim broke the unusual
silence. This has been the best sum-
mer of my life," he said, "and it has
all been due to you, Lois"
The girl looked up, startled at this
sudden transition from bonhomie to
something very like sentiment
I'm not going to break our PROMISE"
Jim said in answer to the look. II
want you to be as true as ever to that
man. But I'm going to tell you this,
that other girl was a dream"
They both laughed.
II mean she wasn't real, like you.
understand now that she never could
have been wife to me. Why, we
weren't friends"
Lois was silent.
Lois (Jim's voice faltered, so in
tense were his feelings), would 1t be
unfair to the other man or to you II I
tell you that you are truly the only
woman I love; the only one l could
possibly marry? A man ought to spend

1850 and 1861 when eighty miles were covered The
regularity the movement Of the center of population
while population Of the country has increased at such
an enormous rate is obviously very remarkable.
BY reference the accompanying map 1t will be seen
that the digressons of this line either to the north or
south have been somewhat less than fifty miles in full
century. These figures apply, however, only until the
of the century Since 1900 the line has shown
a tendency to move southwark, while at the same time
its OF has been abruptly checked In other
words while the movement the line at the rate
about forty miles every Its movement during
the decade from 1890 1900 but fourteen miles,
startling contrast with previous decades for century
This abrupt check to its movement and its southwark
tendency indicate of rapid Increase of the

it moved into Ohio, to a point twenty miles south of
Chiicothe having Travelled eghtyone miles, the longesv
movement in its history.
Ten years later it had reached point eight miles
northeast of Cincinnati eight miles The southern

years, between 1870 and $780, 1t Travelled to point
eight miles west by south Of Cincinnati. 1t next
