Drowned in the Missouri

Frank Moore, u young man of
Fort Pierre, was drowned in At
tempting to cross the Missouri
river last Saturday night. A party
has been searching for the body
most of the week but so far it has
not been recovered. is believed
that the breaking up of the ice
may carry the unfortunate mans
remains far down the river.
Moore started across the river
to Pierre late in the afternoon.
The ice had lately been thawing
and was considered unsafe. He
managed, however, to get within
a few yards of the Pierrs side,
before the ice gave way. Friends
watching his progress, saw him
throw up his hands and disappear
from sight. The current carried
the body swiftly away and he was
not seen again. The dead man
leaves relatives and many friends
in Fort Pierre.

receipt for the same. On arrival
at Pierre he was required to pay
an additional $40 before being sent
west, and at Philip, called upon
for $25 more before he would
be allowed to unload his car. He
complained of the classification, in
which he alleged that goods which
should be shipped as fourth class
were put in the third class rate
and the freight charge increased
by the change. He next cited the
different rates east and west of the
river, alleging that the rate on
wire was 50 cents per hundred
from Joliet, ILL.,, to Pierre, about
800 miles, "a GEMS per hundred
from Pierre to Philip, distance
of 80 miles. The rate on meats
from Sioux City to Pierre 80 cents
per hundred, and from Pierre to
Philip "a cents per hundred.

The Great Empire of Stanley

Owe. one hundred cars of emf
grant movables went west from
this city for last week, half that
number coming in on Friday. 1t
is reported that over three hun
red cars are on their way from
Iowa and Minnesota points, and
will arrive within the next week.
Practically all of these are bound
for the country west of the river,
with all occasiona! car being un-
loaded on this side by purchaser
of land, who preferred to secure
title at once rather than to 20 into
a new country. Besides the cars
coming here a number are dropped
off at Blunt and Harold for land
buyers who purchased lands in the
eastern part of this county and
Sully county last fall and are now
getting out to their new posses
sions. This year is going to in
crease the population Of the Mis-
souri, valley east of the stream, as
we'll Us west, and population figures
will have to be revised after the
next census is taken for the state.

The Fort Pierre Brick Company
are working a force of twenty
men, their payroll amounting to
about $50 per day, and their new
press is turning out pressed gumbo
brick at the rate of $4,000 per
day of ten hours. The first kiln
is now ready for burning and the
fires will be lighted today. An
other kiln is being stacked up, and
the third will soon follow. We
may say that the enterprise which
means so much to the business and
industrial future of the city of
Fort Pierre is now we'll launched.

Democratic Meeting Here

AS mentioned last week the
democratic rally here was not full
ly under way when we went to
press and so we were unable to
give all the details of the affair.
Hon. Granville Jones of Rapid
City was present and delivered q
stirring address. Mr.. Jones was
born in Arkansas and has spent
most of his life in Texas, so it is
unnecessary to say that his democ-
racy is of the type that is usually
termed bred in the bone.'' He
is a gifted speaker, and something
of wit besides.
Other speeches were made by
various members of the party. In
fact the meeting was free pitch
IN for all. Likewise number of
candidates were suggested for the
various places on the ticket. 1t
looks as if Philip were going to
have Il candidate for the office of
county treasurer. Perhaps there
are other aspirants for fame and
county office in our midst.
Among the representative demo-
Gratis here may be mentioned; Hon.
Warren Young, Hon. Dug Carlin,
William Frost, City Auditor Nc
MILAN of Fort Pierre, Hugh JEFF
fries of the Stock Growers News,
George Philip of Fort Pierre, and
others whose names would con.
siderably extend this list.

GOLDF|ELD CON.
CONTROL IN
THE EAST

Recent issues of the supposedly
best informed eastern papers mike
the positive statement that the con-
troll of the Consolidated has passed
from the hands of Senator Nixon and
George Wingfeld. and as Senator
Nixon is in Washington and Mr.
Wingfeld is in New York, there is
no means of confirming the state
ment locally, says the Goldfield News.
That New York brokers hold large
blocks of Consolidated Is we'll known,
but at the last annual meeting of the
stockholders Nixon and Wingfield
had away above the necessary ma
jority for control and 1t is known
positively that no transfer of suffi-
cient stock to change 1t has been
made since that time. Hayden, Stone
& Co. and Bernard Baruch and as
sociates have been after the control
of the Consolidated for some time,
but In order to get 1t they would
have to secure a large part of the
Nixon and Wingfield stock, and while
there is always a possibility that the
present holders would be willing to
part with their stock. 1t is also we'll
known that they consider their stock
much more valuable than the pres
ent market price, and any transfer of
their interest would be preceded by
the gathering up of all the loose
stock on the market.
However, 1t is believed that event
ually the majority of the stock will
be held in New York and the policy
of the company dictated from there,
but 1t is not believed locally that the
control has passed at the present
time.

NEW YORK, Feb. THE stock
market today was less affected by the
evidences of the contracted stage to
which traffic and industry has fallen,
although those evidences continue to
accumulate. The stock market was,
in fact. unresponsive to anything and
for much of the time was lethargic.
Brief excursions into one or the other
account by professional room traders
were responsible for the wavering
fluctuations of prices, but these ven
lures were never carried far and
were retracted almost as soon as
taken. The general public. and SO
far as could be discerned the import
ant class of capital interests, were
profoundly Indifferent to the market.
This dullness and Indifference fair
ly represents the present uncertainty
of the world of capital and finance
over the future. Over the question
of the duration of the present depres-
sion in our industries there is no set
tied conviction. An assumption that
IL would be long continued or fur
Their aggravated would represent a
new phase of the situation which
would prompt new operations and a
new position in the MARKET for Sc
curities. The feeling Is more general
