Largest Ever Held in the German
Settlement

1t had been our plan to print this

connection with an extended notice
of his life. but the relatives were
unable to hand the photograph to US
until it was too late to send away
and secure the cut for use in this

Owing to the large acquaintanceship
of Mr.. Reimers and his high standing
there was very large attendance at

MRS j. W. SMITH SURPRISED
The Lady Friends of Mrs Smith Liv-
ing in Grace Park Gave Her
Surprise

One of the most justly popular la
dies of our city is Mrs. j. W. Smith
wife of the auctioneer. who resides
UP in Grace Park. On Monday a
group Of her lady friends decided to
give her surprise. and so nearly
thirty of them gathered at the home
of Mrs Bale her near neighbor.
Mrs. Smith had been notified that her
friends o. M. Criswell and wife and
Miss Hart would be with her for sup
ger. but was not expecting quite SO
many to make demands OIL her hospi-
tality. The surprise was complete.
but those knowing Mrs. Smith will
understand that little matter like a
surprise would not Illustrate her long.
The friends brought along good things
Co eat. tit for banquet. and having
banished from the house every 1nap,
much to the disappointment of Mr..
Smith who had seen the preparations
for the meal. they proceeded to enjoy
themselves as only group of light
hearted good natured ladies can. We
hear Mrs. Smith was much pleased
at this mark of esteem from her lady
friends.
At the masked ball at the dance
hall up near Grace Park on Monday
night there was fierce fight between
two young men over the smiles of one
of the girls. City Marshall Savery
sworn out warrant and Charley
Brown and Mike Clinton were up be-
fore the Mayor on Wednesday. Both
were badly bruised. Clinton having a
cut over his eye requiring the need
of sewing up by surgeon. One
plead guilty and the other will have
sentences later in the week when it is
found out whether brass knuckles
were used in the fight. 1t is evident
no police officer was present, for the
fight went on for some time no spect-
ator wishing to stop it.
w. G. Conrath. Asst. Special
Agent of the Northwestern has been
in the city this week in connection
with the Weber Eland- Allemann
cases. Mr.. Conrath is a shrewd de-
tective and is employed by the COM
pany in unearthing just such matters
as the one here.

fist church each afternoon and even

The public does not seem TO be taking
any interest in stock market move
ments at the present time, and the
trading seems TO be almost wholly con
fined to the so-ealled millionaire
pool - and its following among the pro-
fessional traders. The outside buying,
which was a feature of the early ad
vance, has wholly disappeared, and the
public seems 10 have disposed of the
greater part of its holdings acquired
during the panic and during the early
stages of the recent movement. Odd
lot selling has been just as pronounced
as was odd-lot buying during last De-
cember and January. The lambs have
been deceived by the famil-
lar attempts of the manipulators to
establish high range of values in
order to accustom the public to these

MINING, COMPANIES
CONSERVING RESOURCES

The pccuniary position of the cop
per mining companies is improving
steadily, and it is to the credit OF, their
management that n large part of their
profits is being added to reserve funds
instead of being paid out in dividends.
The business man understands the
equity of such a policy, the Spectator
will not There are times when the
payment of dividends does not guaran-
tee continued prosperity; namely, when
part of the money is taken from the
reserve fund. Every well managed
mining company must carry a certain
surplus in cash to meet current and pos
sibe expenses, especially in a period Of
financial uncertainty as we have just
passed through. An investor in mining
shares should be told this to prepare
him for the time when dividend pay
ments must be suspended. The frantic
method of tapping the till of the com
pany to pay dividends when the mine
is not earning expenses should be con
demned, and any management that per.
sists in the practice should be tabooed
by the investing public. The Mining

units of population. The expansion of
gold production is helping the silver,
copper, lead, iron and other mining in
dustries, and, in fact, is stimulating the
increase of the material well being of
people in all lands.
1T is remarkable that in commu.
nifty like New York, which is most large.
ly engaged in ordinary merchandising
at very small profits, there are so many
men who regard mining as speculative
business. Mining is an exact science,
devoted to strictly commercial ends, and
it is by far the most profitable business
in the world. Speculation is very
small factor in mining. No other in
terest has paid or is likely to pay so
well upon the capital invested as legiti.
mate mining. Compare the results from
investments in railroads for many years
with the annals of sound mining, and
ii is easy to see that railroading, in com.
parison with mining, may be termed
speculative pursuit, whereas mining has
made record that places it among the
steadicst dividend earners known in
modern times
