RECORD WEEK FOR BANKS.
Officials Believe That Students Have
More Money.

The banking business in Columbia,
during the last week, has been heavier
than ever before, according to the
statements of several bank officials
here In each of the five banks in Co
lumbia the Office forces have been
compelled to work overtime in order
to attend to the unusual amount of
business.
"Of course there is always an in
crease of business at the first of each
month"; said one bank official, but
this month the rush is unprecedented
| attribute this to the fact that the
students have more money this year
although the increase of business in
Columbia in every line is no small
factor"

Says Congress Will Work.

in the days intervening until Monday,
when congress will open, in comforting
with committee chairmen, house lead
ers and others, Speaker Cannon arriv-
ed here from Chicago yesterday. The
speaker remarked to some of those
who met him that he expected a busy
session and that he did not agree with
those who had predicted that little
would be accomplished outside of pass
ing appropriation bills.

consideration" said the speaker, how

during the evening, land will require
careful thought. / have no doubt that
congress will cooperate with the pres

priations within the revenues"
The speaker said he expected from
Mr.. Taft's speeches, that important
recommendations would be embodied
in the presidents message.

MALVEY RECEIVERS
STOLEN WATCH
FARMER, AFTER HIRING NEW
MAN, LOOKS TOO LONG ON THE
CUP THAT cHEERs-NEW MAN
TOOK CARE" OF HIM TO GOOD
PURPOSE.

P. E. Brown, a farmer living eighty
miles west of Fargo on the N. p, was
very profuse in his thanks to Chief
Malvey last evening for the recovery
of valuable gold watch, on which a
Fargo pawnbroker had been liberal
enough to loan the man who stole it
the sum of IS.
Mr.. Brown came to Fargo and Moor
head on business in the course of
which he hired man named Preston
to work for him. Brown toyed with
the cups too much and became in
capable. The newly hired man took
care" of his employer. When the lat
ter came to he missed his watch and
reported the matter to the police of
both cities. Chief Malvey had two
prisoners in the lookup and from one
little hint he thought he "smelled a
rat'' in regard to the taking of the
watch. In fixing affairs for the night
the chief had uhe two prisoners sepa-
rated and then waited for a climax.
Yesterday afternoon Ed Preston,
the man the farmer hired. appeared
before Justice Malloy on a charge of
drunkenness, but when he emerged
from the cage he came face to face
with his employer and the watch and
was asked, What about his?" Pres
ton said the jig was UP and told the
court he was guilty and he was sent
to jail for three months at hard la
Dor. Chief Malvey recovered the,
watch from a Fargo pawnbroker and
there he learned a few things which
will be useful in the future.

No sect, faction, society or corpora

Chicago Gossip.

Chicago, Dec. 3.-There is too much
uncertainty in the speculative situa-
tion for traders who care about their
opinion to express it publicly. With
the railroad strike in the northwest,
no telling how long it will last, and
it's ultimate effect and possibilities of
its spreading into the eastern roads,
even the bears were not inclined to
press their advantage and the bulls
were decidedly opposed to make large
committmnts until they see the sit
uation more clearly. The big traders
who are short nope that prices will
work lower and they believe that it
is only a question of time before the
trade begins to realize that prices are
too high sall things considered, and
that everything is discounted. There
was a feeling among the bulls That
there was to be no decided break I'M
til there is a greater falling off in
the cash demand and a decided in
crease in receipts. Corn specialists
say with the pressure on December
lighter and until there is an increase
in receipts or a change in the wealth
er that the bear was not to have EASY
sailing. A good many tired holders
have liquidated their December and
bought May and the commission
houses have a good run of buying or
ders for May at 81 cents and at every
half decline.-Inter Ocean.
