IN Mr.. FRANCIS HONOR.
Splendid Supper Given by Mr.. John
n. DilIinuham

A Splendid Supper Given by Mr.. John
H. Dillingham;.
On last Monday evening the resi-
dence of Mr.. J. H. Dillingham; was the
scene Of one of the most unique and
pleasant social affairs our city has
ever witnessed.
Very few men among us have ever
had so spontaneous and unanimous
expression of regard and high esteem
bestowed upon them as the stag sup.
per which was given in honor of w.
T. Francis Esq, by Mr.. Dillingham;.
AS is we'll known Mr.. Francis, who
has graduated as stenographer, a
telegrapher, doctor and a lawyer,
is one Of the most versatile men OF
our city. He has been found in the
fore front at all times and on all
occasions looking to interests and
welfare of his fellow men, and it was
very fitting to thus honor him while
he was living and could himself en-
JOY the enconiums which were justly
bestowed upon him.
It would be vain to attempt to tell
of all the good things that were set
before the Twenty-Five gentlemen who
gathered beneath the hospitable ROOT
of the host as evidence of the rare
culinary skill of his better half, and
vainer still to tell of the good things
said of the guest-of-honcr But some
idea may be CLEANED when it is told
that the speakers were: T. H. Lyles
T. D. Parker, o. G. Hall, G. H. Miller
O'Howell Walker Williams, B. S.
Smith, c. S. Smith, j. H. LOOMS, G.
w. James, A. Payne, F. D. McCrack.
ney, G. F. Adams, J. @. Adams, W.
R. Morris and J. H. Dillingham;, al
OF whom outdid themselves in words
Of commentator, respect and esteem
The other gentlemen present were:
S. E. Hall, T. B. Simpson, DR.. Voldo
Turner, G. B. Lowe, E. De Baptiste,
Ed. James, r. D. Chapman, Geo. w.
Wills, w. V. Howard, L. M. Terrill, J.
H. Charleston, c. H. Booker, w. H
Parker.
Mr.. Frances is at present chief
clerk of the Legal Department of the
Northern Pacific Railway to which
position he rose by personal merit
from office boy. He was the leading
! candidate for the position of minister
to Haiti a short time ago and for
which he is still in the lead, and it
was in recognition of the magnificent
showing he made in that. matter that
prompted Mr.. Dillingham; to give the
splendid supper for which both he and
Mr.. Francis are to- be heartily con-
graduated It certainly was good to
be there as it was one of the jolliest
and most helpful and uplifting social
functions our city ever had.

STABBED WHEN
IN A QUARREL
Claimed That Farm Hand
Waylaid Employer-Is in
Serious Condition

Minot. n D.. Oct. 2s.-With knife
wounds SO serious that his life Is de-
SPARED of, AL Campbell. manager of
the Auslander farm near this city. is
in a local hospital, while Frank Smith

rel with Campbell. and there sharp

they paid the salary claimed by Miss
Bessie McManus. the teacher for the
district. over a period of several
months during which time no schoo
was maintained, members of the board
Of education of the Little Butte school
district have been placed under ar
rest charged with Misrepresentation of
public funds. II. Van Worst is the

succeeding the old board. The former
board OF education had engaged Miss
McManus as the teacher for h dis
trict and she was given a contract
covering " e months.
Shortly after the new board took
hold of affairs the number of children
attending school vas brought down to
such a low figure that the board DEEM
ed it advisable to close the institu-
ton. and paid Miss McNIanus her sal
airy up to that time.
But Miss McManus. acting on the
strength of the contract which she
held with the board. remained in the
district and made herself ready each
and every morning to open the school.
AT the close of the contract period she
made demand upon the board for her
salary.
Refusal resulted. but after a con-
ference with the states attorney. the
board decided to pay her the amount
in full. The teacher was just about
to bring civil action to the
amount she claimed al due to her.
It is nov charged by Van Worst,
the complaining witness in the GRIM
inal proceedings. that the board was
without power to pay the districts
money to the teacher.

The Markets
THE FINANCIAL
TRADE REVIEW
Future Relation of Govern.
ment to Corporations a
Strong Factor

New York. Oct. 23.-The stock
market last week seemed to be in the
hands Of operators Of the habituaily
speculative class. dealings being con-
centrated in a handful Of stocks.
Prices did not move far in one d.
rection without encountering OBJ
stacles. chiefly on account of efforts
to garner speculative profits.
Stock market discussion continued
to deal largely with the probable con-
sequences of enforcement Of the anti
trust law. The controversy over the
reorganization plan Of the American
Tobacco company served as a medium
to keep alive that subject. Accept
ance of the proposed plan by the
court would be hailed by corporations
as Offering a way out Of those which
have cause to fear the inhibitions of
the law. This wa indicated by the
stock market depression occasioned
by opposition to the tobacco plan.
Corresponding stimulation had been
caused previously by news of the
progress Of the plan and agreement
to It Of the various classes Of secur-
ity holders. =
The same influence was at the bot
tom of the response: Of United States
Steel shares to the report" that the
contract for the Great Northern ore
supplies was to be terminated. This
report was coupled with one that ore
freight rates would he reduced by the
railroads controlled by United States
steel. The special Importance attach
ed to these intended actions grew out
of the stress laid by the commission
er Of corporations In his report to the
president, upon the steel corporations
control Of ore buildings and ore trans.
portation facilities as contravening
the antitrust law.
In the copper trade an advance in
the price of refined copper was taken
to indicate improved conditions. A
fall in cotton to below nine cents a
pound was symptomatic of plentiful
supplies with helpful effect on textile
production.
Evidences multiplied of the exceed
ingly strong financial condition of the
country. September foreign trade
made a record for that month in val
ue of exports. of imports. and Of ex-
cess Of exports. Sustained strength
Of foreign exchange in face of this
strong credit position marked the re-
lance Of foreign money markets on
borrowing in New York.
