RUSH THE
NORMAL ACTION
Committee Proposes to Sc
cure Early Decision From
the State Courts

Minot, \. D.. Jan. 1O.-A meeting
of the conciliation committee appoint
ed by President Thompson of the Mi
not Commercial club for the purpose
OF hurrying the legal proceedings now
pending in district court over the loca-
ton of the Minot normal school. was
held at the Commercial club. Every
member Of the committee was present
with Grant Youmans in the chair. Per-
sons interested in the two sites over
which the controversy has been raging
were invited to meet with the commit
tee and several did SO. Mr.. Youmans
stated that the meeting was not for
the purpose of discussing any of the
old issues nor would the merits of
either of the two sites be entered into.
He called attention to the fact that
nothing could be gained by either side
by delaying the matter further and
stated that the committee wanted to
devise some can of having the legal
proceedings disposed of as quickly as
possible.
n discussion of the various phases
of the problem confronting the COM
mittee was remarkably devoid of Bit
ter feeling or animosity. Those who
are behind the injunction suit now
pending agreed to use every possible
influence toward having the case tried
as quickly as possible. Attorney f.
+: Sinkler stated that he would be in
Bismarck on Wednesday with D. c.
Greenleaf and other Minot attorneys
and that they would urge Attorney
General Miller to use his influence
toward having the ease disposed of at
once. Judge Leighton was communi-
Gated with and was asked as to when
the matter could be heard in the dis
trict court here and he informed the
members of the committee that he
would wire Judge Fisk of Williston
finding out as to when he can come to
this city to sit on the case. He ex-
pected word by noon today. AS soon
as the decision is handed down in the
lower court the matter will be certi-
fled at once to the supreme court and
it was the opinion of those present
that the entire proceedings could be
disposed of within the next ninety
days.
Committee Pleased.
The members Of the committee ex-
pressed themselves as delighted with

UNION PACIFIC
HIT BY BEARS
It Went Down More Than
Four Points During the
Raid

New York. Jan. 10.-Two sharp
bear raids depressed stocks today. At
the opening and again just before
the close the market was attacked
savagely. Both times prices gave
way quickly and on the stump in the
afternoon Union Pacific sank more
than four points below the previous
days close. Canadian Pacific also de-
veloped acute weakness, losing three
points. Many Of the other important
stocks, including Southern Pacific,
United States Steel, American Smelt-
ing and A~malgamated Copper fell
back 1 to 2 points.
The fire which burned all day long
in the Equitable building was Of sub
stantial assistance to the bears. Re-
ports cabled to London early in the
ers of American securities and prices
were depressed. The decline was has-
tened by selling orders from interior
points and from London.
Traders who securities were in safe
deposit vaults, which were ~inaccessi-
BILE on account of the fire saw no way
Of making deliveries Of stocks, which
added to the confusion.
After the stock exchange governors
ruled that deliveries need not be made
today, the tone of the market became
better.
There was no apparent reason for
the action Of the market. The ON
tinued weakness Of Union Pacific was
an unsettling factor. Various explain
atoms are advanced of the action Of
this market leader, the most common
being inside selling" on account Of
some u~nfavorable circumstances not
yet disclosed.
The copper shares made no re-
Spouse to the December figures Of the
copper producers, although a decline
in stocks OF the metal on hand of 3d.
10000 pounds was revealed. The
effect of h report, which was in line
with expectations. appeared to have
been discounted. and the copper
shares went off with the rest Of the
market at. the close.
The money market was lifeless. The
business of several of the large banks
was interrupted by the fire, and there
was considerable unsettlement
through the. day. Sterling exchange
advanced to a point half cen above
the level at the opening of the year.
The, market was influenced by the de-
mand for remittances with which to
pay off obligations maturing at tomOr-
morow's stock exchange in London,
count rates in that market.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales,

Poor Compilations Are
Beautiful Underneath
Pittsburgh Index.)

Many of the poor compilations
one sees have been made ugly be-
cause the women insist on cloggiIg
up the pores with lotions, creams
and cosmetics. But, like the child
in the story, We find it much easier
to be naughty than to be good; so
we keep on patching up our faces
from day to day, while, if we but
knew it, we could actually renew
our whole complexion by the use
of the oId-fashioned home remedy,
coleated balsam. We should get
an ounce and half of our druggist
and apply it to our faces at night.
Quickly it takes hold" of the dead
ened portion of the outer skin
which causes sallowness, pimples,
liver spots, freckles, tan, ETC., and
gradually fakes 1t on Thus
very quickly the faultless, bloom
ing skin beneath is free to assert
itself. Another good old home rem
edy TO use in connection with the
balsam is little thermodized jel-
", which smooths out wrinkles and
fills out holIows by gently heating,
nourishing and stimulating the tbs
sues which have begun to sag.

Near midnight on Sunday a wedding

in other romantic spots, but no one,
