PROFITS or YEARS
ARE SWEPT OFF

The decline In prices which have
been in progress for some time past
on the New York stock market con-
tinucd during the past week with
many securities reaching the lowest
quotations in years. Successive
wnves Of liquidations during the last
few months has swept away the profits
Of years and have made the stock
market extremely sensitive and vul.
nerable to America. The contribut-
ing causes to the situation have been
and are the fears of further restric-
tive campaign against corporations,
the next congress and the Legislatures
of tho various states higher rates for
money with reduced supply Of avail
able funds, apparent Indifference to
tho decline in stock prices on the part
of interests with large capital invest
ments at stake. visible signs of weak
spots in the trade situation and mOne-
tary conditions that preclude any
hope of immediate aid from Europe
for American business enterprises or
stock market operations.
The week began with the market
under cloud. Liquidation had to
run its course even after the fifteen
points decline Of preceding weeks.
Tho heavy reduction in loans the
previous Saturday hardly compensated
for tho large loss in cash and with
another government report Of Stand
ard Oil company published yesterday,
Wall street began the week nervously
and apprel,ensive. Combined with
this were the expressions Of mem
-her -coQcexnipg the -nrnnosed nlau of
who violated the law. As a result
holders of securities did not know how
long their shares would be imm une
from attack. Fears of further pio.
ceedings against corporations made
the capitalists back Of then, indifYe
ent an to tho outcome and fts was oh.
vious that they were giving no sup.
port to the market. This Indifference
was a valuable asset to tho specula.
tors for the decline and the offered
prices down with continuing success.

BANKING BOARD D. R
PRESENT MEMBERS OF STATE
. BANKING BOARD ARE DIES
...,~ clPLES OF BLACKSTONE. !.

On Saturday the state banking
board, which board is composed of
John Burke, governor, Alfred B1ais-
dell secretary of state, and T. F..
McCue, attorney general, held an inn
portant meeting at the capitol -
The present banking board is prob
ably as WE'LL if not better, qualified
to cope with matters pertaining to
the banking institutions of the state
than any previous board of this char
acter, from the fact that all of the
members of the present board are at
torneys-at-law.
/. The banks of the state are rapidly
increasing in numbers and as the
wealth of the state advances the
volume of banking business also in
creases, therefore it is important that
the board having these financial in
stitutions under their supervision are
amply qualified to safeguard their
trust. 1t is to believed that the pres.
ent board is in position to greatly
enhance the welfare of the system OF
state banking. ..5%. .5z>,

500 ON POST GARD
CARL JoRGENsoN RECEIVES GIFT
FROM HIS GRANDMOTHER IN u
AZ NOVEL WAY.
SHE SENT HIM "a ROLL or BILLS
TIED TO Al POSTAL CARD
ss. IN PLAIN SIGHT.

Carl Jorgenson yesterday received
from his grandmother In Belgrade,
Mimi, probably the most unique and,
withal, the most valuable postal card
that ever came to Bismarck. 1t con
sisted of an ordinary postal card with
a little greeting to Carl on the back
But the remarkable part was what
was attached to the card, and what is
still more remarkable, is that it ever
reached its destination, and shows
that there is not much danger In send
ing money through the mails after all 1
Through a hole in the card was at
tached bit of narrow ribbon about
six inches long, and at the end of the
ribbon dangled roll Of bills good,
long, Uncle Sans greenbacks con-
tanning $50. Now, what do you think
of that! The outside bill was gold
note and looked considerably like the
advertising money one sees about the.
street, but it was the real stuff and
smelt good. Few would believe that
it was real money in the. roll, but.
such it proved to be. And it looked
good to Carl, for it was a present.

AN ARMORY
COMPANY "A MAKING HEROIC EFF
n FORT TO SECURE THIS MUCH
DESIRED BUILDING.

Although they have met with cold
comfort in their efforts in the past to-
secure assistance in the matter OF
securing an armory building, the
members of Company A are not dis
couraged. Captain Murphy has taken
hold and, ably supported by the mem
bers of his command, is doing all pos
sible to reach the goal Of his desire
in this direction.
An armory building such as the
state law requires would be an excel
lent thing for the city, as a large hall
that can be used for general purposes
is greatly needed in this city. If a
site and $4,000 in cash can be secured
by the company the state will adj
vance $4,000 toward the project in
consonance with law recently
amended and passed If the citizens
can be brought to look at the matter
in the light they should, it ought not
to be any very difficult matter to raise
| the money on a time loan, the money
received by the company from the
state annually being enough to NOT
| only pay the interest but to create a
| sinking fund which would in few
/ years lift the principal. ..,......
The possession of an armory would
greatly benefit the company as vel
as the city, and it is certain it would
result in the improvement of the per
| sonel of the company and secure The
establishment of more young men O
| substance in the guard.
Inasmuch as the state sees its wa.
clear to aid in the building of armo
ries the city and people, general.
ought to look at the matter in tn
same light, and lend a helping ham
to the company. -

UNOFFICIAL
LIST or THOSE EioLD DING sPE-
ciAL Lilo UoR TAX RECEIPTS
IN BISMARCK

The county auditor has a list OF
those holding special government
liquor tax receipts in the city Of Bis
marck, which he will publish off
scialIy" soon. In the meantime, a local
paper having stated that there were
twenty-seVen such licenses or special
stamp tax receipts held in this city,
it may be well for the people Of the
state to know that there are only five
such receipts held BY parties in Bis
marck, which indicates a pretty rigid
enforcement Of the prohibition law in
the capital city. The five are as fol-
lows, as the Maennerchor is mere
ly social organization and not en-
gagged in the sale, there are really only
four holding government tax receipts
with possible illegal intentions:

MORE Than PLEASED
OWNER OF FAT ACRES WHICH
y COST HIM $40, PASSED UP
OFFER or $25 AFTER SEE
ING THE LAND. II 3S3. 81

Il D. HI. Summers, secretary and treas
urer Of the GerTish & Summers Luln-
Der Co., of Minneapolis, has been
spending part of the past week in Bis
marck and vicinity looking at his;
land four miles and a half east Of the.
city-haying half section which he
bought five years ago paying $40 per
acre for the same, and coming UP: for
the express purpose of closing out, az
he had cash offer Of $25 per acre,
but after looking at the crops on the
land and seeing the general Develop
ment of the country, he decided not to
sell and has taken the land off the
market, as he feels sure of more
rapid advance in the next few years
than in the. five past.
Samples of wheat brought in from
this farm measure about four and a
half feet high and the heads are long
and we'll filled. Flax and oats respond
in a like manner, the flax sown sixty
days ago measuring about "a inches
in height and the corn is in roasting
ear ,t}s r #$ Z.
Mr.. Sumner will be back next
spring, at which time he will put out
several thousand two-year-old trees
mostly cottonwood and brown willow
and make other improvements. &
This gentleman says that if eastern
real estate men and knockers wnc
tried so hard to belittle the state las
winter would only come out and see
the crops and country for themselves
that they would be ashamed of thei1
attacks and many converts and buy
ers would be found among the scoffer:
and knockers. .I-.

GEORGE BATTLEY is HELD BY
AUTHORITIES FOR ASSAULT
WITH DEADLY WEAPON. a
He NAY BE WANTED FOR ROB
Berry OF MANDAN PosToF-
FicE THURSDAY NIGHT.

AS told the Tribune at a late hour
yesterday morning the account of the
arrest of the man who pulled the gun
upon Officer Toole was not quite ac-
curate
1t appears that the officer was at the
depot when train No. 6 came in from
the west. The conductor and brake.
man told the officer that Battley was
trying to steal a ride on the train and
| that he was bad man and had a gun,
and that he had better be arrested.
Officer Toole made the arrest, after
calling upon stranger to assist and
the two were taking Battley to the Jail
when the latter stepped into the jew
/ elry store doorway and Ieveled his
gun gun at the officer. The police
man had his hand on his own gun at
! the time and quickly covered Battley
1 and told him to drop the gun, which
Battley reluctantly did. Toole then
/ picked up the others gun and soon
/ had him in the cooler. q ....%e
4 Yesterday afternoon George Bat
tley, for that was the name he gave,
was taken before States Attorney
Patterson and questioned. He proved
/ a very cunning rooster who had evil
! IDENTIFY been cup" before and the at
! torney got very little satisfaction out
Of him. Bailey said he had been in
had sent back to Minnesota ahead Of
him and that he had sent his wife
money from time to time as he worked
his way back, but he would not give
his wife's postoffice address. ..
4 He denied that he had any intention
OF shooting the officer, but that hi
slipped into the doorway to drop thu
gun, thinking that it would make his
case worse if the shooting iron was
), found on him. He admitted that h
! had been in Mandan a few hour!
Thursday but said he did not do an.
b peddling as another peddler was Their
at the time with the same kind o
cement, and he came over here earl
in the afternoon of the day of the post
office robbery there, of which he sal
: he knew nothing beyond what he ha
! heard on the streets.
Policeman Toole is confident tina
t Battley's idea was to shoot him an
q make ihis escape, but his sand faile
him when the officer was SO quic
with gun, and dropped the weapo
r when told. That he regretted droI
ping his gun was shown from the fac
that as the officer was reaching dow
for the pistol Battley made a quicI
effort to pick it up before the Office

l for him.
. He will be held by the authorize
l for day Or two to see if he is wante
