miles from Point Barrow, where

much exertion, took off the crew OF

Mr.. John Jessrapg, the city jailer of St

ers of criminal character il the country. He
has had to do with the "toughs' of America
in various cities in the capacity of policeman
and turnkey for time out of mind. He has
been in st. Paul score of years. Before com.
ing to America he was connected with the
Bavarian police system and had abundant op-
portunity to observe the operation OF the
police in Paris. When he hasn't gang OF
criminals around glaring at him from
their cages he feels like a
sword. fish out of water. But one
thing he has never failed to notice, aud has
never grown reconciled to, namely the una.
dulterated cussedness which gets into the
boys during the dog days. 1t has particularly
impressed him this present season. II don't

A Year of Maruels.

The old crop year substantially closes with
July. The old wheat is about all in and gone
and the new wheat is arriving. New corn will
not begin TO arrive for some time, but the old
stock is nearly exhausted. The year just clos.

board of trade. 1t has been marked by series
of big deals run by men of nerve and daring
aud unlimited capital. A brief review of the
field from August to August will not be de-
Void of interest at this time.
At this time last summer two deals were on
the McGeoch provision corner and the
Handy wheat corner. They are called corners,
thoug h in reality neither of them was a cor

was on the ground, and stayed with it from
$l3 aud $l4 barrel up to $40 S.,
the highest point touched during the
season. He was loaded to the
