There are not many connected with
the organization who cannot find at
all times something for idle hands to
do, and the success the organization
has attained in this country and es-

all hands of the Young Women's

energetically and intelligently every
duty that is assigned to them, gather
ing interest and enthusiasm as that
work is progressing and jollify when

their labor for the cause of righteous

Association is up and doing. All the
machinery of the organization Is
running smoothly. Go to the associa-
ton rooms from early morn to dewy
eve and you will find the wheels OF
industry buzzing, not alone buzzing,
but accomplishing something worth

The Stock Market.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.1
NEW YORK, July 20.-In its issue
of Monday Financial America will
say:
1t might be said that some inter
ests desired the speculative public to
forget that presidential campaign
is in progress which may end in a
complete change in the national adj
ministration. At any rate, politics
were little spoken of during the past
week, and the subjects brought up
for discussion were chiefly the crop
outlook from the northwest and south
west and the probabilities of changes
in corporation organizations and in
crease in developments.
There was pressure against the
market at times but when declines
occurred such stubborn resistance was
met that some of the brokers regard
ed the market as 'pegged' and after
declines were checked, enough buying
orders appeared to compel quick COW
ering of shorts. This made the week
one of constant raids, followed by
quick rallies without the range being
materially higher at the close.

Sea Serpent Washed Ashore.

The skeleton of sea serpent re-
Gently washed ashore on Satala island,
off Vancouver island coast, was
brought to Seattle last week, to be
prepared for shipment to the Smith
sonian institution museum. The deni-
zen of the deep seas had been dead
but a short time. If real live spect
mems of this species of semi-fish and
semi-serpent are still Inhabitants Of
the North Pacific Herbert Webb ana
party from the Washington State uni.
versity will attempt to find them.
Capt. J. T. Walbran, of the UniteG
States revenue service, saw this
strange creature through his class and
went ashore in a small boat. This
skeleton is 16 feet long and IL inches
in diameter. The eyes are still in theie
sockets and are as large as applea
The top of the head was still covered
with coarse brown hair. The teeth.
about an inch long, are like miniature
saws and are hinged where they attach
to the jaw bone, thus enabling them to
work crosswise, after the manner Of
scissors. The skeleton Is one of the
most remarkable ever found on the
Pacific coast and is a specimen Of a
rare and strange sea monster. China
men at Seattle state that on the coast
of South China smaller, but similar,
fish are seen during the season when
typhoons are prevalent.-Exchange.

Cattle Earring Well.

Forest City.-Earlier reports from
the range country concerning loss of
cattle due to the extremely cold win
ter, prove to have been exaggerated.
The Forest City Press, which printed
a rumor to the effect that 1000 head
of cattle belonging to the Matador out
At were punched together on Swift
bird creek, near Forest City, corrects
the statement, saying it was based
merely on rumor, and that managers
of the company state there was no
foundation for the report. Other SINH
lar reports have, been denied, and the
only losses of any consequence that
have been verified are among some
thoroughbred cattle stationed at the
government Indian school near the
North Dakota line, that were not ac-
climated.

that proved fatal to one man and in

miles west of town, which was driven
by the son, Raleigh, became unman-

Main steet on a run. At just this time,
Section Foreman Lewis Johnson and
his crew of section men, consisting OF
Carl Peterson, Tom Chandler and
himself, came east in front of the
depot on one of those gasoline motor
cars used by section men. A COLI
sion occurred on the first crossing
east of the station. The team appears
to have reared as the car approached
and fell, jerking the wagon partially
on the car. Carl Peterson, the first
man, was killed instantly; Tom Chan
dler, the second man, escaped with a
broken arm and many bruises; Lewis
johnson sustained injuries on the
head and back. Both Chandler and
Johnson will live. Carl Peterson is a
Dane and has no relatives in this
country except an uncle at Hooker,

man, who is a cousin. The team and
driver escaped without injury of any
kind.
