There was a very weak feeling on the market all the way through, but s fuirly good clear~ ance was effected, There was no change worth mentlonlng in the Cow market, The trude was brisk und th moderato offerings changed hands in goo season with pricos very generully in Tuosdiy'’s notches, Calves were in good demand at rather stronger prices and rough stock showed no weakness any where. There was hardly enough business trans- acted in the stocker and feeder line to estab- 1lsh the tone of the market. Offerings both fresh and stule were Umited and the demand was not brisk. Prices, however, were quotubly steady. Representative snles: DRESSED BEEF, Pr. Pr. 3 3 8 90 4 00 4 00 > 20! SS Saaaa SEssEEREREELEEoo oSO oo REESaAOS.

A, Mears, North Dakota building, World's fair grounds, Chicago.” A reporter called at the Sturtevant house twice Monday to learn from Mr, Mears more details as to his advertised attractions for eastern capitalists, but was told that Mr. Mears was not in. He had been staying at the hotel only three days. The reporter called again to learn from Mears whether he knew of E. Ashloy Mears, president of the Na- tional bank of North Dakota at Fargo ond the First National of Lakota, which were ordered closed by Comptroller of the Currency Eckels. It was said that Mr. Mears had gone to Washington, Complaints about “E. A. Mears of North Dakota” began to be made a year or 80 ago by persons in the east, es- ecially those who invested in North akota property on the promise of 12 per cent interest and had received little or no return for their money. o Inveetigation of the condition of many institutions started by L. A. Mears of North Dakota was begun last July by a committee of eastern stockholders con- sl“ing{of Messrs. R. 8. Griswold, Fred- erick K. Alvord and H. W. Wells of Hartford. Lawyer Edward D. Robbing of Hartford in their behalf visited Fargo. Mr. Robbins issued a printed report in which he said that Mr. Mears is aotive manager of twenty-eight banks and guarantee companies. The report then continued: ‘‘Some of these corporations are almost altogether owned in the east. Others areentirely owned by Mr. Mears. Yet they are engaged in frequent deal- ings with one another and in every case Mr. Mears fixos the terms of the bar- eain. He has also at various times bought and sold these corporations, at prices fixed by himself, both real estate and personal property of large nomina- tive value. The National bank of North Dakota has bought most of its paper from other banks of which Mr, Mears is president. Iam told by him that this paper is guaranteed by the small banks. A great part of it has been, however, returned for collection ~ to the very banks who are said to have sold and guaranteed it. Moreover, I found notes listed among the property of one bank yet payable on their face to another belonging to Mr. Mears and not endorsed at all. could not make the books of the different corporations har- monize with one another. These cor- porations are curiously tangled together as holders of one another’s stock, and b means of this creation of flctitious capl- 1 whoever happens to get control of this coterie ot corporations cannot be easily reached.” In asecond paper issued by Mr. Rob- bins he declares that he has no bias for or against Mr. Mears, but hoped that time would result in reassuring him in the honesty and capacity of Mr. Mears. ———— Piles of people have pues, but Do Witt's Witch Hazel Salve will cure them. sty BLUE AND GKAY MINGL D, Secretarlos Gresham aud Herbert Btrew Flowers on Unton Soldiers' Graver WASHINGTON, D. C., May 81.—Just twenty-nine years ago today Colonel Hilary A. Herbert of the Eighth Ala- bama volunteers was lying at the point of death in a temporary field hospital as a result of a dangerous wound {m lezl received while leading his confedernte forces in a desperato charge during the battlo of the Wilderness, At the same time Brigadier General Walter Q. Gresham was also ina flold hospital nursing a wound which he had received in leading the Fourth division of General Blair's corps before Atlanta. Yesterday these two veterans—one of the north and the other of the south— now associated in Mr. Cleveland's cab- inet, sat side by side on the platform at Arlington and participated in the —memorial exercises over the graves of the union dead. Around the platform were grouped hundreds of the veterans of the war, most of them in the blue uniform of the Grand Army, although there was a sprinkling of members of Potomao post of ex-confederate veterans. Thus on the platform and in the throng the blue and the gray mingled and fra- ternized. Judge Gresham was the heroof tho hour, and his arm was wearied with the constant shaking of hands of the old sol- diers, quite a number of whom had served under him. Secretary Herbert came in for his full share of attention and cordial greetings. After the exer- cises he and his two daughters walked along the lineof little white tombstones, and assisted in strewing flowers upon the graves. Ajter this the two cabinet officers went to Fort Myer, where the salute of nineteen guns, due to members of the cabinet, was fired, and the regiment of yellow-plumed cavalrymen appeared on dress parade.

He said that it belonged to the friends of the soldier and ¢ no one else to remedy the evils which mn(v have crept into the pension u{stem, aeneral Black, who sat upon the stand, grew uneasy and when his turn to speak came he sald: ‘The pen- slon rolls are polluted with the names of cowards, deserters and imposters, and no true soldier would object to measures caleulated to remove the disgrace.” Both speakers were wildly applauded. ———— Piles of people have pies, but De Witt's Witeh Hazel Salve will cure them. —— Foster Will ¥ay Fifty Cents.
