ANNUAL SUPPER AND MEETING

NiNG-cHuRcH SHOWS GREAT
GAINS IN MEMBERsHIP-RE-
PORTS OF ELECTION

The First Presbyterians met last
evening in their annual church meet
Ing for the election Of officers and as
usual one of the most tempting sup
pers was provided by the ladies of the
church.
After the supper which was par
taken of by something over $50 of the
members, the business meeting of the
cnurch was held and a thorough dis
cussion INDUCED in of the several
phases Of the reports submitted by the
officers. There has been marked in
crease in membership in the last year,
the largest of any in recent years,
and consequent increase in expenses,
the past year showing larger deficit
than usual but one of the most hope
ful features was the manner in which
pledges have been met.
A most cordial spirit of unanimity
prevailed throughout the meeting and
on every hand the feeling was ex-
pressed that there must be still great
err efforts made to care for the in
creasing needs of the church. Few
churches in the country make better
showing, especially for a church which
has no members of large wealth and
where the burden must faIl upon the
shoulders Of very large percentage
of the congregation.
Reports from the different societies
of the church showed a fine condi-
ton of affairs, the Ladies Aid society
showing an especially fiattering years

HOUSES RAIDED
At BISMARCK

Bismarck. D., Feb. 15.--Last night
the houses of Clyde Townsend and
Ted Garrett who live in that part Of
Bismarck which is known as the "bot-
TOMS" were raided by officials who
secured quite bit of evidence and
placed Townsend and Garrett under
arrest on charge Of keeping a blind
pig.
The raid was the indirect result OF
a fight which occurred in Townsend's
place Monday evening between some
soldiers who were celebrating pay day.
The authorities of Fort Lincoln notified
the county officials and made the COM
plant against the alleged violators Of
the prohibition law.
In the search of CARROTS premises
about cask of beer was found. Gar
rett was a hack driver and was struck
by a Northern Pacific train last fall
and laid up for the winter. This is
his first offense.
Townsend is an old offender. Al
though no evidence was found on his
premises in the raid, the state has
sufficient evidence against him already
to warrant his arrest and detention.

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
Chicago Gossip.

Chicago, Feb. 15.-Wheat--It was the
belief among wheat traders last night
that the market was due for a little
more rally. There has been a decline
OF II cents from the high point Of a
month ago, which, according to many
of the traders, is enough for the time
being. as it discounts the effects of re-
ciprocal developments up to date.
Traders who were among the largest
buyers on the decline said they We're
covering shorts and playing for an adj
vance in the hope OF being able to get
their wheat out again at better prices.
