Stocks Open Weak.

NEW YORK, March 1S.-Noon.-The
market this morning has gone through
the general movement of the past few
days Stocks opened weak, as the STAN
pede of the shorts at the close yester-
day left large supply of stocks on
hand. In the first half hour prices gen.
orally receded from 1s to Il a point.
This was followed by a rally, chief
support being given to Union Pacific.
Reading, Southern Pacific, and the
Steels. In fact all the morning Union
Pacific and Reading have been unusu-
ally active and the fluctuations OF Read
ing In particular are suggestive OF the
days when it was the leader of the mar
ket- Reading sold about the middle OF
the morning up 10 130A, the first time
since the break in February. The nigh
points were not held long, as profession
al traders began TO unload on the hulgeS
for the daily turn, and at this hour
most stocks are back at the opening
figures. with the railroads mentioned as
the active features OF the trading.
Tariff Bill Has No Effect.
The tariff bill is having no effect upoG
the market other than the better feel
ing engendered by the fact that Con-
gress has met. will be organized with
out delay and will proceed with its
work. The progress OF the discussion
en- the tariff will be watched in Wall
Street with great interest, and brokers
will be prepared TO discount every move
made by the politicians on Capitol Hill
in Washington. but for the present the
work there has no influence upon the
market here as il is well understood
hefe that the Payne bill Is likely to be
torn to shreds before It passes either
house of Congress
A report widely circulated that Mr..
Harriman's health is still in a precari-
Gus condition, and that he will soon
abandon all participation in the active
management of his railroad properties
felffat. so far as influencing the prices
of the Hartman stocks Union Pacific
did not fall an eighth of a point on the
rumor, and the other Hartman stocks
are all firm and steady
This is indicative OF the profession al
character of the market and shows that
floor traders of experience are not
moved by wild stories OF this kind
The market at this hour is in strong
position, and if a drive is started by
the bulls this afternoon il Will naturally
have the effect of driving out of the
market a long line OF shorts that has
been accommodating for several days.

THE BATTLE BEGUN
Hatcher Bros. Start Big Contest and
Offer Gold Watch for First Prize
TO Agents.

During the past two years, Hatcher
Bros. have put on several contests and
have given number of fine prizes to
their agents, but they arc now starr
ing 7one that is larger than all the
others put together. They are offer
ing fine gold watch to the agent who
writes the largest number of applica-
tions during the month of April. A
watch fob is given as a second prize
In addition to- these prizes, they arS
going to give a fountain pen. worth
$3.50, for every five applications. This
means that if an agent gets twenty
applications, he will be given four
fountain pens. This is the most lih-
sral offer ever made in the state. Every
young man can get a fountain pen ii
he wishes as it will be an easy matter
to get five applications. Not only are
the prizes given, but the agent re-
ceives his regular commission, which
will well repay him for the time spent
Hatcher Bros. expect this contest to
give them large number of new
agents, as someone in every town in
the state viii no doubt write for sup
plies and enter the contest.

LEAVE MONEY IN STATE
MeCIusI<y Independent Man Cannot
See Why He Should Pay for
Minnesota Advertising.

McClusky Independent: We were
approached by a representative Of one
of the Minnesota dailies this week,
which was right and proper as far
as it went, but the nerve of some of
them and the easy marks they must
find in the country print shops, ac-
cording to their arguments, make a
round number, and whenever we can
be shown, why those dailies are in
dispensible in a country Office which
receives the dailies of the state in ex-
change for their weeklies, we'll put
UP with the solicitors con talk,
whether or not we cough up the price
Of years subscription. If we ever
get so much money laid by we don't
know what to do with it, we might
invest SIS or Sc year for Minnesota
advertising and a comic section, but
we believe our state dailies are entitled
to support Of the weeklies, as well as
the patronage of those who can afford
dailies. Patronize home industries
and build them up to compete with
outside competition, thereby reapine
the benefits of the money you spent
is our motto.

co-5oTH WELL KNOWN HERE.

The announcement Of the approach
ing marriage was received in Fargo
today that will bind the hearts and

here, and will be of general interest.
That OF Mrs Luella Compton Thomp-

sion of one of the keenest legal minds
in the northwest won for him some
very important cases, among them the
Temperance Commission case a few
years ago, the first Major Murphy
case and the Neurenbery case, an i'm
portant legal controversy over per-
jury in connection with old soldier
land entries. He was appointed from
Fargo to the present important posi-
ton he holds, one that he is filling
with the greatest credit to himself
He Is nephew of N. d. Grover of ST.

in Portland. Many old friends here
will extend the most cordial congrat-
ulations.

HIGH IN CIVILIZATIONS SCALE.
Unknown Peoples Of America Who
Have Perished Utterly.

Between the region occupied OF old
by the Aztecs and the realm far to the
south over which the Incas ruled lies
an immense stretch of territory, a
thousand miles long and 500 wide.
where the remains of unknown and
wonderful civilizations are being dis

den's Magazine This region extends
from the northern boundaries of Peru
to the southern limits of Costa Rica.
In one section alone along the coast
Of Ecuador six entirely unknown civili-
cations were recently brought to light
by Prof. Marshall H. Saville, and

brought to New York This collection
is to be the nucleus of great Amer

Terms on Which Strangers May Enter
British House of Commons.

One Of the most important altera-
tiors which members of the British
house Of commons will notice when
they reassemble will be a strangers
bureau. Its construction, which is now
in progress, is the sequel to the scenes
crested by the suffragettes in the
house during last session. In the
last month Of the autumn session as
the result of their conduct no strange.
waa seen within the house of com.
mons.
A committee was appointed to draw
up new rules for admission of
strangers. The members recommend
ed the passing of an act making it a
criminal offense for strangers to brawl
within the chamber, and they also
recommended that strangers should
be made responsible for their own
good behavior and should sign a pa
pei accepting that responsibility. That
being done the committee saw no REQ
son why women, as we'll as men.
should not be admitted to the
strangers gallery.
IT Is in preparation for the change
that the new bureau is being made. AS
her etofore, tickets for the gallery will
be balloted for by members in ad-
vaEce.
