THREE TO FIVE
POINTS IN FALL
Stock Market Tumbled Over
the Bull Prices of Three
Weeks.

New York, Aug. ia selling move
ment of greater scope and proportions
than any that has overwhelmed the
stock market in the three weeks of
its almost uninterrupted decline was
witnessed. Prices fell from three to
five points in shares which have long
been accepted as gilt edged, while
losses in more obscure and less ne
gotiable shares extended to ten points.
The day opened with little promise
OF betternlent, London's market for
our securities being one to two points
under last nights closing. The weak
est issue in that market was Canadian
Pacific, its loss of two points being
soon doubled here. Other stocks, in
cluding Union Pacific, which has been
the barometer of the market soon fell
point or more and by noon all the
active and speculative issues were at
the lowest levelof the year. The con-
tinual weakness Of the Union Pacific
constituted the greatest element of
alarm, that stock at it's low price to-
day showing loss of over twenty
points in less than a fortnight. In
fact the selling of the Harrimans has
been the most conspicuous feature
throughout. New interest was lent to
the movement today when it became
rumored about that the Hartman es-
tate had some time ago disposed Of
its holdings in the trans-continental.
These reports were later denied in
authoritative quarters.
There were additional reports which
added to the unsettiement Of the situa-
ton. Foreign banking and general
financial conditions seem to be under
some tension at the moment, as was
shown in private cables which hinted
at embarrassment of some financial
interests at the German capital While
nothing apparently came out of it, the
mixed conditions in London and fur
ther evidence that the bank of France
is making strenuous efforts to curtail
it's credits i'll other countries could
hardly be regarded with serenity.
Canadian Pacific, which at one time
was six points under yesterday, was
affected by reports of unfavorable crop
conditions and heavy selling both by
London and Berlin. Three unimport-
ant failures were announced in Lon
don, where the fortnightly settlement
was accomplished with some strain
particularly in the American depart
ment
The market rallied in the last hour
under the lead of Reading, Union Pa
citic and Canadian Pacific, those is-
sues recovering from one and one-hali
to two points from the maximum de.
clines, but the markets undertone re.
mained uncertain to the close which
was heavy and hesitating.
A notable feature Of the session waa
the weakness of many minor railway
shares, few of which had suffered
earlier In the reactionary movement
In this list were included Wabash

Money Scarcer.

London, Aug. 1.-THE much-feared
settlement was concluded on the stock
exchange today. There were three
small failures, principally connected
with the recent fall in American rails.
J. The American section opened steady
and small fraction higher. A down
ward movement followed, but the mar
ket rallied on covering near the end
of the first hour. Canadian Pacific
was weak exception and lost one
and one-half points before noon. Later
forced liquidation due to the failures,
caused a reaction and prices fell from
one to four points under the lead of
Canadian Pacific. During the decline
New York and the Continent offered
stocks and there were rumors of trou-
BILE in Berlin. The closing was weak.
In the other sections trunk line
shares and Mexican rails were de-
pressed, but British shares finished
firmer on hopes Of settlement of tho
railway dispute through the confer
ence going on between the strike COM
mittee and the officials of the board of
trade.
Money was scarcer and discount
rates were firmer.

SCOUTS SUCCESSFUL
Is Creating Favorable Sentiment with
People of State.


Bathgate. N. D.. Aug. 17.-oBy
Scouts of Bathgate have been sue
cessful in creating sentiment favor
able to the organization of similar pa
trolls in several cities of Pembina
county as a result of a long hike TAX
en- by the local boys, and which took
them through number of cities.
Cavalier, Legion. Backoo. Walhalla,
and Tyner are the places at which the
boys made, stops and great interest
was manifested in the organization
and the probabilities are that several
new patrols will result.

FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
is GIVEN TRIAL.
Demonstration Yesterday Evening"
Called Meeting of Council
to be Held.

Quite large crowd OF persons inter
ested we're present at the demonstration
yesterday afternoon by Mr.. Dee, rep
resentative of the General Electric
Company Of Rochester, New York, ot
modern automatic fire alarm system.
The demonstration was made in the
chamber OF the Board OF Aldermen in
the City Hall. The committee on
finance, streets and police OF the Com,
mon Council, who were there, aud tie
authorities in general. it is understood.
we're we'll pleased with the demonstra-
ton, believing as they do that an up
to-date fire alarm system in this city is
an essential.
After the demonstration the above
committees met in joint meeting and
unanimously decided to petition the
presidents of the two branches Of Coun-
Gil to call a meeting of Council one day
next week to consider the purchase by
the city of modern fire alarm equip
ment.
By the arrangement proposed there
will be no chance of the different fire
companies proceeding to separate quar-
ters OF the city when an alarm is sound
ed. When an alarm is sent in, it is
transmitted instantaneously and stimuli
taneously to the three engine houses
aud also the residence of the chief
of the fire department.
Between 40 and 60 boxes will be
needed to place box on every third
corner of the city.
The boxes will be about the same
size as that of an ordinary mail box.
The front Of it will be of thin sheet OF
glass. Inside of this there will be a
door, to be opened by a key which will
be hanging near the lock. When the
door is opened the person VINO is send
inn in the alarm will turn a lever,
and this sends the alarm to the three
houses and to the chiefs house.
The alarm is recorded as follows,
taking the number OF the box TO be Al
the number of each box, together
with its location, will be given on a
chart at each engine house and at the
chiefs house: When the alarm is
sounded, the gong at each house viii

Morning.

Newport, R. l., Sept. 9.-One-hun-
dred- d-million-dollar John Jacob Astor
and his S., 100000 girl bride. Made
leine Force, were united in marriage at
$1,000 ceremony today by Rev.
Joseph Lambert, Congregatlonallst
Minister.
The ceremony was performed at As
tors imposing villa, Beechwood, shortly
before ten O'Clock, after the bridal
couple and the handful of witnesses, 10
racing automobiles. had dodged into
Newport, pursued by an army OF news
paper men. The women of the party
we're SO heavily yelled as to be un-
recognizable and had to be led like
blind persons when they landed 10
launches from the Astor yacht. The
rush from the shore to the villa was 10
the nature of stampede.
Rev. Lambert was ready ano
waiting when the party reached the
mansion and promptly began the build

While Astor displayed nothing but

millions and one previous wife. The
ordeal to whirh she had l,een >IbjGci' q
during the last few weeks had left tell
tale marks on her fair young check
and when, the bridal couple emergcu
from the7 house the expression upon
her features was one more OF relief

The ceremony performed, the party
was bundled into throbbing automo,

down to speculation on the probable
scene of the honeymoon. The Noma

honeymoon would be long voyage,

LITTLE GIRL KILLED
AND BODY CAST IN LAKE
Seven Year Old Child Abducted from
Her Home, Denuded and
Murdered.

Madison, Wis. Sept. 9.-The nude
body of Annie Lemberger, aged z,
stolen from her home Tuesday night
was found today floating in Lake Mo.
mona.
The girls head and shoulders were
severely bruised, but in tue first exam
ination made, it was not determined
whether this was due to the action OF
the waves or whether the Child was
beaten before her body flung into the
lake.
The finding of the body today has
left the police as far from a solution OF
the mystery as they we're when the
first report OF the kidnapping was made.
No clue has been found that would sug-
gest who broke the window in the
Lemberger house, through which it is
believed the child was taken, nor who
stripped off her night gown; carried
her to the lake and threw the body in
to the water. That the child was borne
almost directly from the house to the
lake was established Friday when
bloodhounds, sent out to find the trail,
started on a trot from the Lemberger
home, and without once losing the
scent went to the lake front stopping
at point only a short distance from
that where the body was found today.
A search to find the child's gown,
which she wore before she was taken
from the house was beginning, and on
this the detectives are placing hope of
finding the kidnapper.
The heartbroken parents have been
unable to aid the police. They assert
that they know of no enemy who could
have stolen the little girl. The coroner
says the child was not the victim OF an
assault.
An autopsy over the girls body was
held this afternoon. No water was
found in the lungs and it is believed
the Child was killed and then thrown
INTO the lake.

. How long your light summer clothes
last depends not on how, much they are
worn, but on how often they are washed.
That is, if they are washed in the old-fash-
ioned way.
If they are washed with Fels-Naptha
in cold or lukewarm water, the washing
won't harm them bit.
Boiling hurts any clothes, but it is par
ticularly hard on light stufs, such as sheer
linens, lawns, laces and muslins- the
fabric SO they will tear easily. And hard
rubbing on the washboard wears them out
and trays them.
You avoid this by washing the
Fels-Naptha way in cold or lukewarm
water. Boiling and hard-rubbing are un-
necessary, because Fels-Naptha dissolves the,
dirt into tiny particles which are sent flying
by light rubbing and thorough rinsing.
Then, too, the cloth hes are cleaner,
whittier and sweeter, as we'll as longer-wear-
ing.
Be sure to follow the easy directions
on the red and green wrapper.
