NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, Nov. 16.-Stocks started
the day off precisely in the same man
ner that they have every previous day
this week-strong and higher for every
active stock on the list.
The particularly brilliant features to-
day were the two Hill stocks. Great
Northern and Northern Pacific. The
continued talk of large disbursements
TO the holders OF these two securities
has been the paramount issue in them
and has induced some very heavy and
influential buying. 1t is presumed that
the buying is discounting the future
action of the directors of both com
panies.
Great Northern advanced almost ten
points for the day. and Northern Pa
cifc scored an advance of nearly i've
In the other high-priced rails, St.
Paul, Reading. Union Pacific, Baltimore
& Ohio. Atchison, Missouri Pacific and
Southern Pacific were in brisk demand
by traders, who sold short during the
last few days.
Nearly every one Of these issues
scored advances ranging from one to
two points.
on the whole, the market was the
DTOddeSI tndl we nave ndQ SINCE the
inception of the present bull move
ment
Influential interests are making ev-
cry endeavor TO induce a public follow
ing in the stock market, but as yet
brokerage houses do not report any
great increase in the amount of out
side speculation.
The money situation seems to be in a
healthier condition, call loans ruling as
low as four and one-h half per cent. to-
day.
The general market closed strong
and within fractions of the highest
prices so far on this upward swing.

DEAD AT 1O2 YEARS.
Pioneer of Southern Minnesota Passes
Away at Tracy.

Tracy, MINI, Nov 14-Mrs Mary
Williams Hoag, who resided with her
daughter, Mrs. George Donaldson, of
this city, died yesterday at the ripe
age of 102 years and seven months
Mrs. Hoag was of illustrious parentage,
being a direct descendant of Roger
Williams, the founder of Rhode Island
and renowned in the history of the
American Baptist church. She was
born in South Kingston, Rhode Island,
May 3, 1904. When three years old
she removed with her parents to the
state of New York where they settled
in Oneida county near Rome. At the
age of II years she was married to
Russell Hoag OF Utica, N. y, with whom
she soon afterwards moved to Wyom-
ing county, where Mr.. Hoag in associa-
tion with Mr. Cole. founded the vii
lage of Colesville. Six children were
born of this union. Mrs. Harvey Hill,
now a resident of St. Paul. Mrs Lyman
Walker of Alden Mimi; Reuben Hoag
of Houston county. Mrs. George Nc
Donald Of Tracy. and Mrs. Wallace
Hills and Russell Hoag. jr. Al lsurvive
except the last two named.
Mrs. Hoag came with her family to
Olmstead county in 1857, when Mime
sofa was a territory, where they pass
ed through the trials and hardships
incidental to frontier life and where Mr.
Hoag died in July of the year 1885.
During the last few years her health
has been gradually declining and she
had been confined to her bed during
the last eight weeks.
She had read the Bible through from
Genesis to Revelations more than
twenty five times. Recently asked to
what she attributed her long life, she
referred to the last two verses of
the third chapter of the book of Pro
verbs for her reply: My son, forget
not my laws. but let thine heart keep
my commandments; for length of days
and long life and peace shall they add
to thee" Besides her own children
twenty two grandchildren and thirty
five great grandchildren are left to
revere her memory.-St. Paul Dispatch

POLITICS IN MOROCCO.

Tagging Morocco has at last caught
up with the times. 1t has learned one
OF the American ways. The sultan of
that exalted state has appointed onh
Raisuli. sometime bandit, TO be gov
ernor of town and it's provinces
Raisuli as bandit displayed great
genius fot government, and that genius
has not been allowed to grow stale by
repentance of incarceration. No. the
sultan believes in the conservation of
energy, in keeping right on and on
when one has once begun the develop
ment Of such sterling abilities, and so
he plucks Raisuli from his bandit bust
ness and transfers him instanter to
the office of state.
In this country we are too prone to
sidetrack the political aspirant Just at
the period when he should be allowed
10 go ahead. He gets a very good
reputation as highwaymen, or bucca-
neer, all that any one could ask. His
novitate has been served to the utmost
satisfaction of all. But then we bid
him pause oftentimes and do little
byplay in political hypocrisy. He
must 90 through all the PAGES of the
practiced saver of lies. He must shout
his sincerity from the housetops and
immerse himself in whitewash thrice
daily. Meantime he is forgetting some
of the nice points of brigandlge, is
growing rusty or dull when he should
be kept ever bright.

BEGIN DUTIES IN TEN DAYS.

According to an opinion given by

auditor OF state last Tuesday, and Fred
Sims, who was elected secretary of
state. Will enter upon their respective
terms Of Office within the next ten

term of David E. Sherrick. Mr. Sims
VIII succeed himself, he having been
appointed by the governor to fill the
unexpired term of Daniel 2. Storms.
Mr.. Sherrick's term would have end

would have ended Jan. II, 1907, but the
appointments to the vacancies were
not made only until their successors

THE LOCALIZED boss.

Discussing Secretary Bonaparte's
suggestion to elect bosses. the Louis
VILE Courier-Journal thinks the scheme
a good one If the boss has come to
stay that it were better to recognize
him under his real tille thus
II we once. recognize the fact, If it is
a fact. that the boss system has come
10 stay, the logical idea Is that set out
BY Mr. Bonaparte. Let the boss be
legalized. Let him say who shall be
candidates for office without the inter
vention of conventions or other nomin-
ating agencies. which he CONTROLS so
absolutely as to render such agencies
entirely unnecessary. There IS, OF
course, one other way. If the people
who do not believe in party bosses
can command majority. it is eompe-
tent for them 10 destroy the bosses al
together. But If they are resolved to

THE UNITED STATES ARMY.

Recent figures show that there is
much yet to be done to make the
American army what 1t should be. The
death rate in certain other armies is
prevails in any other army save the
British. Statistics. however, are some
times deceiving. and 1t is so, to some
extent, IN this case. We have too much
sickness and too many deaths, but the
case is not so bad as it seems. The low
death rate in certain othe rarmies is
largely due to the fact that when men
are fatally sick they are promptly dis
charged and die outside the army.
Nevertheless our medical department is
not what it should be. We seem to
have learned little from the Japanese,
when we should have learned much.
Surgeon General OReilly says in his
report:
1T will be impossible for the medi-
cal department to reach a high degree
Of efficiency without this assistance
Cthe assistance of congress). 1t should
not be postponed until war is immin-
ent, as it requires years Of time for the
selection and training of medical Of
fcers."
He predicts that unless immediate
steps are taken in the direction Of
strengthening the medical corps tnere
will be another "lamentable breakdown
In case of war"
1t appears further that there is more
drunkenness in our army than in any
other Here we hold an unchallenged
pre- eminence. 1t seems further that
many Of the diseases from which the
soldiers suffer are due to the fact that
they are virtually driven outside of the
posts for amusement We think that
congress should look the facts fairly In
the face. We have tried the anti-can-
teen policy. With no canteen it is al
legged that we have today the drunk
enest army in the world. Every eff
fort should be made to discourage
drinking in the army. We agree that
it would be better If all the soldiers
were total abstainers. But as things
now are such an army is impossible.
The question is whether the men who
will drink anyhow shall do it under all
the restraints it is possible to impose,
and under the eye of the officers or in
the dives that cluster about army posts
or in the saloons of cities.-Indian-
apolis News.

BAD MONEY N CIRCULATION.

Washington, Nov 1.-THE United
States secret service announces the dis
coyery Of new counterfeit $40 Buff
falo" United States note.
This counterfeit is apparently a pho
to-Ithographic production printed on
two pieces of paper with silk fiber dis
tributed between them. The face Of
the note Is grayish black The num-
bering, seal and large X ten are of
good color and workmanship. The
check letter and platinum. however, do
not appear in the lower right hand
corner The back of the note is dark
blush green. BY itself this counter
felt is apt to deceive, but when handl-
ed with genuine notes the marked diff
ference in the color of the back should
lead to its immediate detection
