The Trademark of the Northern Pacific
Railway, since its adoption by the COM
pany in 1893, has become a very familiar
figure in the Transportation and CONNER
cial world. It is unique in its historical
significance and adaptation as the symbol
of a transportation company.
The symbol is Chinese in origin and is
known among the Orientals as the Great
Monad. In divergent form it is seen
among the Japanese and Koreans and is
also found among other eastern peoples.
Indeed, the study of the figure as to its
appropriateness for a trademark for the
Northern Pacific, resulted from seeing it
~emblazoned upon the Korean flag at the
Chicago Worlds Fair, in 1893.
The original Chinese diagram itself
dates back to the eleventh century, A. D.,
but the ideas or principles which it repre-
sents, or is supposed to explain, extend
back to many centuries before the Chris
tian era, being, in fact, more than 5000
years old.
The story of the Monad in all its vari-
ations, is most interesting and is told in
detail in a booklet fresh from the press
called eaThe Story of the Monad', pub
lished by the Northern Pacific Railway
Company and sent upon request by Al. M.
CIeland, General Passenger Agent, Saint
Paul, MINI.
The booklet is illustrated with numer-
GUS interesting cuts showing the Monad
in its several modified forms that illus
trate its various meanings and uses, both
ancient and modern, for it has its modern
applications as well.
The story illustrates the strange pecu-
liarities, even the vagaries, of the human
mind as it reveals the divergent uses ia
which this symbol has been put. Based
upon the discovery of a peculiarly formed
cave, Chow Lien ri, q learned Chinaman
of the 18th Century, used it to illustrate
a system of philosophy established by
Fuh Hi 5000 years B. G., and of which
Chow Lien XII was a devotee.
The two spiral like forms in the center
of the Monad and Trademark are known
as the Yang and Yin and have a sexual
significance, and this notion is reflected in
every subject referred to in connection
with the symbol. The Monad represents
light and darkness, heat and cold, rest and
motion, mind and matter. One of the
theories based on this unique symbol re-
sembles the nebular hypothesis. Tho
figure il used to ward off evil, as a good
luck sign, in China, and as such is for SALE
N stores.

FOR CHAIRMAN
Jones Of Rock May Be Compromise
Candidate for Democratic Chair
man If Factions Disagree.

On the eve Of the organization meet
ing of the democratic state central
committee at Bismarck next Wednes-
day, it is rumored that George p.
Jones of LaMoure county. defeated
for the nomination for governor, has
been centered on as the compromise
candidate for state chairman, in
case neither the Macarthur nor the
opposition forces see that they can
win.
Rumor has 1t that Mr.. Jones was
offered the secretaryship by Me-
Arthur to succeed Mclean, but he had
declined. Pat Byrne, secretary to the
governor, is said to be the choice of
the opposition forces but that in case
he will not accept Mr.. Jones will be
urged to take the craftsmanship.
Jones, 1t is claimed, would be sat-
~isfactory to both factions as he has
warm friends in both camps. The
state chairman's close friends, how
ever, claim his reelection by a small
majority. Secretary Mclean. says he
will not enter the fight.

Speculative Gossip.

Chicago, Aug. 31.-Bearish sentiment
among the best men in the wheat trade
who have been bullish up to within a
few days, was more pronounced last
night. Those in closest touch with
the export trade said they considered
large sales passed for time being, but
added that possibly there may be more
business on a decline of 4 or 5 cents
1t was said that local shorts had cov-
cred and that with favorable weather
the northwest would get a big run OF
receipts, which are expected to depress
prices. Bulls figured that Chicago will
o get any hedging business from the
northwest until receipts increase and
stocks here are too light to make II
safe for hedgers at present.

Busy Police Court.

The principal occupation of the police
nowadays, is the caring for over inn
bibers, who get into all sorts of trouble
and danger of losing any money or
threshers and farm hands. Several such
were before Justice Wade this morn
ing. On the CHEERS desk today there
were a score of more boxes which are
used for packing away the belongings
of the unfortunates. One very young
man was picked up last night with
considerable loose money in his pock-
cts and he gladly paid the fine and
costs assessed to him. He left to put
the money in shape SO that he could
not spend it. A number of loafers who
spend their time looking ror prey were
sent to the county jail.

Seeding Winter Rye.

Louis Miller, the we'll known farm
er, near Rustad, was in the city this
morning and surprised his friends with
the announcements that he had left his
force at the farm busy seeding forty
acres of winter y and that it would
be all finished before shutdown. Mr..
Miller said, the threshing on this
particular field was out Of the way
early and I set the boys to blowing
it right away. I hold the theory that

ground the better for it. I have an
other field nearly ready and I think
I shall seed that to winter rye"

ports a rather singular experience last
Wednesday night out in the vicinity of
Bismarck when he was STOPPED in his
automobile Just on the other side Of
Mckenzie by a couple of men in an
other car. 1t was just after midnight
and the men asked him If he had any
firearms and searched Brown and his
car. They introduced themselves as
Warden Hellstrom and an assistant
and said they were in search of the
men who had made their escape. Di-
recttng him on the right road to the
capital, they left him. He had not
proceeded far until two more men on
horseback held him up. Again estab-
fishing his identity the latter two told
him they were penitentiary guards al

In modern times it is a curious fact that
the present manner in which our own base
ball covers are cut was suggested by the
Yang and Yin of the Monad.
Again, in our own land, we find orna-
mental colored figures upon baskets, shell
disks, etc, made by the American Indians,
in various parts of the country. Whether
these specimens of Indian art, often more
or less crude, may or may not be merely
initiative, or whether they may, indeed,
have a deep and intrinsic significance to
the Indian, it is a fact of much interest.
This is particularly SO if the latter sug-
gestion be true. Among some of the
tribes in the North Coast, the real North
ern Pacific country itself, Monad basketry
is found. In view of the fact that there
is a widely prevalent belief among an
th~ropologists and ethnologists of the
present day that the origin of the tsIn-
dams" is, at least in a degree, Asiatic,
this fact may be a really significant one.

Minneapolis. There seems TO be
nothing In sight at the moment to
stop the evidently lower trend of
prices.
Corn, A generally easier tone pre-
vailed In corn owing to the weakness
in other grains and to the fact that so
much short stuff vas covered yester-
day. The September showed particu-
lar weakness with scattered liquida-
ton and due to lower cash prices
all around. 1t may likely prove rath-
er hard to hold prices for the time
being with the pronounced weak
tendency in both wheat and oats. At
the same time we feel that we do
not car to become really bearish and
therefore prefer to wait for good
weak spots on which to buy.
Oats: The market continued to
show the decidedly weak tone of yes
terday and fair declines were again
recorded. The whole list looks Rs IL

evitable. Chas. e. Lewis & Co.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER a.. 1912.
ALL ALONE.

One OF the best indications OF tho
attitude OF the people OF the capital
city toward the bull moose movement
was that OF last evening, when the
meeting scheduled to take place fiat.
tened out like a pancake and evapo.
rated or rather failed to m%aterialize.
Some time ago a list of meeting
with dates was sent out from the bull
moose headquarters. advertising the
candidate for governor on that ticket,
with Judge Allen, Of Brownsville.
Texas, as speakers. Last night was
the date set for Bismarck, and Mr..
Sweet and the judge arrived in the
afternoon. Announcement of the
proposed coming event was made in
las: evenings Tribune, but nothing
materialized, and this morning both
left for Washburn over the North
500.
Judging from reports from over
the state this is a fair sample of con.
ditions over the entire state. There
IL no sympathy in North Dakota for
the 'disgruntled politician. The re-
publicans do not relish this userpa-
ton of title, this sailing Of a POLITICAL
ruge under their colors. The party
has its ticket, national and state, and
the crowding in Of this belligerent
faction in the hopes Of victory under
the guise Of republicanism does not
meet with favor. 1t is. a case Of both.
feet in the manger and. some chilly
November morning this unlimited
guest, this chief Of the outtered tribe,
IL domed to find himself standing at
the empty rack with winters SHOWS
upon him.
