stock Market.

New York. Sept. 10.--The concen-
trated support By the financial pow
ern has cleared UP the situation ma
terially in stock exchange circles.
Drastic liquidation made its appear
ance at the opening on account Of
Mr.. Harriman's death but the wave OF
selling did not deter the cliques from
advancing prices we'll above the pre-
vious close. The advance was so
rapid that the belated shorts were de-
moralized by the buying movement.
Union Pacific was by far the heading
feature showing gain OF 10 points.
The advance reflects a harmonious
feeling OF the insiders In regard to
the segregation plan and we would
not be surprised to see the announce
ment within short time. In view OF
the favorable action of the market
we do not believe In getting over en-
tf1usiastic as the reaction has been
too fast and profits should be taken
on any further rise.

DR.. THROND EGGE
IMPRESSIVE FUNERAL SERVICES
HELD THIS AFTERNOON OVER
REMAINS OF SLAIN PHYSICIAN
TRINITY CROWDED TIC DOORS
WITH BORROWING FRIENDS

Wholly without demonstration of
any kind. but Intensely impressive,
were the obsequies this afternoon for
DIR. Thrond S. Egge. who met his death
in a horrifying manner last Monday
night.
1t was the earnest wish OF the sud-
denly bereaved widow that the last
rites for her husband be as simple as
possible. at the same time she wished
to have every opportunity afforded for
the doctors many friends TO pay their
last respects, and all who wished were
invited to attend the funeral. 1t was
the intention OF members of the sew
eral secret societies in which the doc
tor was affiliated to attend i'm body,
bur in obediance to the wishes of the
family the societies were simply rep
resented by individual members. How
ever, floral emblems, expressive OF
sympathy and respect, were sent to
the home.
Before the removal OF the body
from the house there was a short SER
vice conducted by the Rev. John Peter
SON, pastor of Trinity Lutheran church,
being practically a private service for
the family.
Afterwards the casket was removed
from the home to Trinity church
where the public services were held.
The pallbearers were Messrs. w. M.
Nesheim, 0. J. Kittelsrud, Ole Chris
Hanson, M. o. Vented. o. e. Flaten
and L. r. Moe.
At the church the obsequies were
conducted by the Rev. John Peterson
In English. and by Prof. r. Bogstad
OF Concordia college, In Norwegian.
The floral tributes were profuse and
beautiful.
At the conclusion Of the solemn
services the funeral procession was
reformed and the body was taken to
Prairie Home cemetery where the in
terment was made, according to the
Norwegian Lutheran ritual. 1t was
the largest attended funeral ever held
in Moorhead. especially was the at
tendance of friends outside the city
vary large indeed: many from Wild
Rice and the adjacent communities,
the home Of Mrs. Egge. being present.
Every member possible OF the Clay
Becker Medical society, of which Dr.
Egge was vice president, was in at
tendance at the funeral and II was
expected that there would be gath
ering Of the members after the obse-
quies to take appropriate action, ratn-
es than TO wait for the regular meet
ing. the last Monday in October.
The drug stores Of the city and the
First State bank we're closed, out Of
respect to the deceased physician,
during the funeral hours.
