The lawyer said someone had gone to
his client and offered her $500 to de-
fray her expenses since she had been
in town and she had changed her mind
about Mr.. Long.
A terrible accident occurred in Cole
harbor Thursday when the four-year-
old child of the Parks family got hold
of some strychnine in one of the up
stairs rooms and swallowed the poi
son, dying before DR.. Tyrrell, who was
sent for from Underwood, could reach
him. The family have the heartfelt
sympathy of all in their tragic be-
reavement.
North Dakota's present population,
based on the federal governments es-
innate, is 752,26O. This estimate, just
issued by the census bureau at Wash
ington, is based upon the census of
1910, and the percentage of growth
during the ten-year period previous to
that time. Anticipating that such a
growth has continued, the new popu-
lation figure is issued as being the
present population.
Lynn J. Frazier spent just $518.80
to become governor of North Dakota
by the largest vote ever given can
didate in the history Of the state. The
governor-elect filed his expense ac-
count with the secretary OF state
early. Frazier was entitled to spend
$500, or Is per cent of the $4,000
which he will receive during his first
years service. In his expense he has
listed railroad fare at $3.50 and hotel
bills at $1O2.55, items which it is not
necessary for candidate to show. The
largest single item was 5000 contrib.
uted to the republican state central
committee.
One can say what they like, but
there are heroes in civil life as we'll as
on the firing line. This was demon
strated few days ago when five cit

parted with strip Of cuticle in order
to assist poor little fellow in local
hospital who had been badly burned
and in order to save his life must have

Make Life Hard to Bear for Many
MinOt Women.

Make Life Hard to Bear for Many
Min0t Women.
Too many women mistake their
pains and aches for troubles peculiar
to the sex. More often disordered
kidneys are causing the aching back,
dizzy spells, headaches and irregular
urination. Kidney weakness becomes
dangerous if neglected. Use time
tried remedy-Doan's Kidney Pills.
Hosts of people testify to their merit.
Read Minot case:
Mrs. Jackson, TOT Valley St., Minot,
says: II haven't needed a kidney
medicine since Doan's Kidney Pills
cured me several years ago. Doan's
Kidney Pills removed sharp twinges
across my kidneys and rid me Of head
aches that were often so bad that I
couldn't walk"
Price SOC, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mrs. Jackson had. Foster-Milburn

new YORK LIST
CONTINUES firm
Market Shows No Tendency
to Anticipate Outcome of
Chicago Convention.

New York, June s-There was no
changes In the general aspects of Ihe
stock market today, or in the average
price level, which would Indicate that
Wall Street vas disposed In any way TO
anticipate the outcome of the Republican
and Progressive national conventions.
Aside from political advice, the budget
of news overnight and during the day
was sufficiently diversified to furnish
contradictory reasons for stock market
action. but II was not apparent that
quoted values reflected matters of tnfor-
nation external TO the market itself,
The stock market maintained trading
on a scale of moderate activity. The
course Of prices was irregular. but there
was a general display of aggressive
strength which implied that stocks
might readily respond to developments
encourag ging confidence.
Rails provided uniform leadership at
FIRST, but there was no pronounced de-
preston in any part of the industrial
quarter and toward close the market
exhibited all-around hrmness.
Call money relaxed, the accommodation
renewing at 3 per cent as against L.
per cent on Wednesday. The report of
a hardening tone in the market for COM

of money had shifted. The gold move

BONDS Lead ON
LOCAL MARKET
Prices Fairly Firm in Stock
List-Graphophone Con-
tinues Weakness.

Bonds furnished the greater part of
the activity at yesterdays session of
the local exchange. but without offer
ing features worthy of particular COM
ment.
Sales were at prevailing levels for
the bonds and fairly firm in the stock
list. though the Grsphophone stock
continued the weakness displayed
Wednesday.
Railway Is led the bonds. with sales
to a face value of $4,000 at 81. There
were more orders to be filled at this
figure, but the asking price refused
to drop beneath 81 IA, traders being
unable to close up the difference.
Graphophone first IS sold, $4,000 at
100 Is. and an additional $500 at
100 IA. after which the asking price
jumped to 100 "a. while the bid
dropped back to 100.
Potomac cons. 5s sold to the ex-
tent of $1,000. and Norfolk and wash
$1,000.
In the stock list Capital Traction
dropped to s57-s after two lots had
gone for ss, and offerings at the lower
figure went begging after the nrst
transaction at that level. The bid
price dropped to Ss1-+ at close.
Washington Gas again sold at So. and
an odd lot Of Railway preferred
brought 50.
While there were no sales in GRAPHIC
phone, concessions were offered in both
common and preferred. The bid for COM
mon dropped TO l39 3-4. IL below yester-
day, while the asking price came down
IA points to 40 3-4. The bid for the
preferred-139-was one point off from
Wednesday, while the asking price drop
ped three points to ll2.
Good Tone to List.
The professional viewpoint is reflected
in the following summary OF the New
York list for yesterday received by w
B. Hibbs & Company, from their New
York correspondents:
while strength was not uniform. the
list exhibited a good tone. A rather fair
demand developed for rails OF a sort on
which dividend increases or extra pay
ment may be looked for. This was no
tably the case in the instance of st
Paul and Chesapeake and Ohio. The wal
news was about a stand-or Russia r
victories being reported in Gslicia. where.
as one of the outer Verdun fortifications
was said to have fallen. As far as
domestic politics was concerned, the news
from Chicago was indefinite. Nothing au-
thoritative will probably transpire for q
day or so. Speciality operations. notably
in the rails. seem likely to prevail. but
the industrials are being hquidated or
all the little upturns."
