WOMAN
SEEKS PENSION
Amelia Oman Through Her
Attorney, Dennis Hanni-
fin, Applies for Pension

Bismarck. May Airs. Amelia
Oman of Fargo is visiting with rela-
tives in the capital city. While here
she is consulting her attorney, Hon.
Dennis Hannifin, regarding the matter
of securing a pension.
Mrs. Oman is the widow of William
Oman, who was we'll known by the
pioneers of this city, and is still re-
membered by them. During the Civil
war Mr.. Oman served his country in
one of the volunteer regiments. After
that bloody conflict was ended he
Joined the regular service. He was
stationed at Fort Abraham Lincoln
and served with Reno in the memoir
able battle Of Little Big Horn which
cost the lives of Custer and his men.
Mr.. and Mrs. Oman were married in
Steele, kidder county. July 8, 1877.
They resided there and in Cass county
until April. 1901, when Mr. Oman
died. He was buried at Fargo, April
&c, 1901, under the auspices Of the
G. A. r.
Mr.. Oman at the time of his death
was drawing a pension of $50 per
month. Since his death his widow has
never APPLIED for a pension for her
self. The commander of the G. A. r.
post at Fargo has Mr.. Oman's dis
charge papers and pension papers on
file. Mr.. Hannafin will take immedi-
ate steps toward making application
for a pension for the widow of the
brave soldier.

EUn'S Report.

New York. May Ar. G. Dun and
company weekly review of trade today
says:
While the advance in industrial and
TRADE activity is still gradual, evidenc-
es OF Improvement continue to multi
PLY. I'll" agreement to arbitrate the
differences between the railroads ana
the engineers is a distinct help to the
situation. The expansion in bank
credits. especially in the west, the
large OUTPUT ot new securities in April
and the number of new Incorporate ons
both gre*lly in excess of last years
the notable CCmand for steel products
and cotton and wooden goods and the
statistics Of traffic and clearings all
ret'ccT a growth in business.
Reports from the leading trade GEN.
ters reveal improving conditions, eN-
eept in those cities chiefly in the east
where the weather was ~unfavorable.
New demands in iron and steel have
diminished somewhat, following the
advance in prices. but miels generally
are booked ahead practically to ca
pacity during the second quarter of
the year In finished lines concessions
are the exceptions rather than the
rule, although wire products are be-
ing shaded in some instances. addi-
tiunal car orders are reported and
fabricators of structural shapes are
provided with considerable work.
On the other hand, the higher quo
tations have not been thoroughly test
ed. Yet it is expected that the present
level Will be maintained. There is no
particular activity in pig iron. 1t is
predicted that tie forthcoming state
ment of the leading interest will show
a substantial gain in untitled tonnage,
owing to the recent heavy demand for
bars.
Adverse weather conditions in the
early part of the week checked house
trad with dry goods iobbers and re-
%tailers, and the distribution of the sea-
sonable cottons have been necessarily
slow. The size Of the cotton goods ex-
ports is unusual, running fifty per cent
ahead of a year ago. and shipments
from the port of New York last week
reached over $4,000 bales. Worsted
yarn markets are buoyant and repeat
orders on o~vercoatinSs and c%loakings
are frequent. Leading mems wear
and dress goods mills are busy.
Business in footwear for fall de-
livery is good. but as most manufac-
tuners have not started to produce
these goods the factories are not gem
orally actively employed. Notable
strength continues to charactize the
entire market for hides and skins,
with especial firmness in calf skins, in
the latter both domestic and foreign
stocks showing sharp advances.

SOIL CONDITIONS
Soil Conditions of the State Said to be
Excellent.

Bismarck. n. D.. May Among
the distinguished visitors at the state
capital is A. D. Gaines Of Minneapolis.
MIR. Gaines is perhaps one of the best
Known land men in the state, having
large interests both in the Red river
valley and in the slope country.
Mr.. Gaines recently came up from
Valley City. where he has been looking
after his farming interests in Barnes
county. He will visit his Riverside
ranch near Sanger during his stay in
this section.
The farmers in the valley are get
ting along very nicely with their seed
ing and spring work." said Mr.. Gaines.
The soil conditions were never bet
the ground, and it has already thawed
out beyond two feet in depth. Below
this thawed ground there are still
about five feet Of frost. This was
learned at Valley City by workmen
who We're eXcavatiig for some Oil
tanks.
Excellent reports have reached me
concerning conditions in the slope
country. They are very favorable for
wheat and oats about in. 1 propose
to start the teams and two gasoline
traction blowing outfits at work on
my ranch in Mercer county to break
new land for flax. The amount of
course will depend largely upon
weather conditions. I expect to put
in several hundred acres of flax how
ever.
THE acreage throughout the state
will probably be a little small. In
many places the farmers are planning
to summer fallow much of their land.
The early arrival of wintr caught
othrs with thir fall blowing far from
completed. and although the spring
plowing is being rushed. it is not eX-
pected that the acreage will be SO
large as was anticipated.
Some of the winter wheat and rye
are now making their appearance.
The sprouts are looking fine, and the
terminating conditions have been
splendid.
There will not be as large a corn
acreage in the state as expected due
in q large measure to the inability of
the farmers to scure properly tested
seed in any quantities."

Evidences of Better Trade

New York. May 4.-Bradstreets says
today: Though activity in some
wholesale lines is not so marked as
heretofore. dry goods for instance,
trade in general is of fairly steady
proportions and what is probably most
significant, current business is being
done on a basis That allows of room
for profits. In this respect the situa-
ton is quite the antithesis of what it

cold, wet weather.
However, temperatures this week

former having been affected by spells
of wet weather, while the latter zone
still suffers.

the United States and Canada for the
week ending May 9, aggregate $685.

A DULL MARKET
IN NEW YORK
Business Drags Until Later
in the Day When Market
is Overwhelmed.

New York, May 4.--That portion
of the speculative public which so
stubbornly resisted the rise of the
past two months in the stock market,
seized upon the sudden reversal in
the railroad labor situation together
with a batch of u~nfavorable reports,
to depress prices. The selling was
neither extensive o p%recipitate UNI
til the final hour. when offerings rep
resented in some important instances
lowest prices of any day in the past
fortnight. The decline was acceler-
ated by moderate liquidation on the
part of discouraged outsiders.
In the early part Of today's opera
lions the selling and resultant weak
ness conferred chiefly around the
standard railway shares, with acute
moveemnt spread to Reading, Lee

New York Central. Louisville and
Nashville and other assure dividend

busy with the status of affairs be-
tween the railway managers and
their employees. The demands Of the

engineers, came as a complete sur

Nothing in the local monetary sit

setback in stocks. Forecasts point to
a cash gain by our institutions and

Minneapolis. May 4~.-Liverpool
market closed today before us opened
owing to it being Saturday today. The
closing cables showed an advance
ranging from is to 3-S compared
with their closing prices of yesterday.
Domestic conditions seem to be in
control of the market in this country
and little attention was paid to the
foreign news. The large abandoned
acreage in this country in the winter
wheat belt is causing apprehension
among traders that the 1872 rop will
in great part be used right at home.
Longs had l%iquidated pretty we'll and
quite a short line had been Hccumu-
lated on the way down from the high

the market bare of offerings with Il
