MARKS THE DAY
Leading Stocks Stood Still
and Traders Awaited
Developments

Ne WORK, Jan. 19.-In it's apathy
and narrowness the stock market to-
day duplicated those of the proceed
in gdays of the week. Traders said
the market was waiting for something
t ohappen. Nothing did happen, and
the leading stocks stood still most of
the day. Five minutes before the ses-
sion ended the bears alta sd the

ket leaders. Union Pacific fell to a
point below Yesterdays close but
Reading and United States Steel held

vious prices.
The geenral list at the close show

instances.
Some. of the specialties broke away

was particularly true of the tobacco

QU|N|NE DOESN'T
CURE, BAD COLD
Tells How to.Break a Severe
Cold and Grippe in a
Few Hours

You will distinctly feel your cold
breaking and all the Grippe symptoms
leaving after taking the very first dose.
1t is a positive fact that Pape's Cold
Compound taken every two hours. un-
til three consecutive doses are taken,
will end the Grippe and break up the
most severe cold. either in the head.
chest, back. stomach or limbs.
1t promptly relieves the most mis-
cradle headache. dullness, head and
nose stuffed up. feverishness. sneez-
ing, sore throat, running of the nose.
mucous catarrhal discharges, sore
ness, stiffness and rheumatic twinges.
Pape's Cold Compound is the result
of three years search at a cost of
more than fifty thousand dollars and
contains no quinine which we have
conclusively demonstrated is not eff
fective in the treatment of colds or
grippe.
Take this harmless compound as d.
rected with the knowledge that there
is no other medicine, made anywhere
else in the world. which will cure your
cold or end grippe misery as promptly
and without any other assistance or
bad after effects as a 25-cent package
of Pape's Cold Compound. which any
druggist in the world can supply.

ROAD DEFENDANT
Another Feature of the Bauer Cast
on at Mandan This Week.

Mandan, n. D.. Jan. 19.-The dis
trict court is grinding away and gra-
dually reducing the calendar. The
case that is occupying the attention
of the court at present is one of
Fred Bauer VS.. the Chicago. Milwau-
kee and Puget Sound Railroad com
pany. The case is III of long stand
ing and has attracted the attention
Of southern Morton county.
When the road had the right of
way condemned and began working
on the grade. Fred Bauer refused to
let them enter upon his farm for the
construction work. He built a wire
fence across n end Of the farm, and
when the graders, Egan Brothers, cut
the wire and began to work, Bauer
gathered together a number of
friends. With these, his wife and
himself, heavily armed, the graders
were driven from the place and kept
ava" for some time.
The road lost heavily. The grad
ers were tied up for a few weeks.
And the matter of damages between
the railroad and the Egan Brothers
company has not been adjusted.
Bauer now is trying to o for
the land condemned by the courts and
taken by the company.

PLAN BIG PROGRAM
At VALLEY CITY
The Chautauqua There Gives
Promise of Being an I'm
mense Success

Valley City, n. D.. Jan. 19.-The
second annual assembly of the Valley
City Chautauqua will occur July L.
Fl. inclusive. in h beautiful natural
grove known as "Chautauqua Park"
one mile north OF the city on the
banks of the Sheyennc river. The ten
days program will be n of the best
ever offered by Il chautauqua in the
northwest.
y program committcec of President
George a. Mcfarland of the normal,
Superintendent G.. w. Hanna of the
Valley City public schools and Il. S.
Delaney, president of the Barnes
County One Hundred Dollar an Acre
club and manager of the Northern
Seed company. have been engaged
several months in selecting for this
seasons assembly.
"Chautauqua Park" made IL hit with
the public last year, and. many i'm
provnmcnts will be made before the
assembly opens. From the present
outlook, the park will be inadequate
t" the needs this year and the over
flow campers will be cared for in adj
.j:lccnt groves on the banks of the
S%h"Ncnne. Arrangements are being
made to secure street car service to
the park and Il better driveway will
be provided.

the association to accommodates the
traffic to n from the grounds and
the bus service will be either "A s cent
fare or Is cents for the round trip at
the most. A larger assembly tent
will be provided and larger and better
swimming Ii bathing pools and re-
creation grounds. Free camp sites
will be provided and tents can be
rented on the grounds for n nominal
charge.
To Emphasize Education.
The management is determined to
continue the policy of an educational
assembly. The show and vaudeville
features will be minimiZed and the
educational emphasized. There will
be plenty of wholesome fun, muse
ment n recreation provided on the
grounds, but the educational features
will be kept steadily in view. A we'll
established ch%autauuua of many years
standing in the northwest last year,
turned a yearly losing program into
one which netted Il profit of $4,000 by
cutting out the vaudeville and sub
shutting an educational chautauqua.
The Valley City association expects to
win along the same lines.
