KAssoN, Mimi, Aug. 1.-THE heaviest
rain fall of the season occurred in this vi
cinity to-day. The morning opened cloudy.
which gradually thickened until about 10
o'clock. when the storm commenced and
rain fairly fell in torrents and continued al
most necessarily for nearly three hours,
with scarcely any perceptible slackening.
At intervals the wind blew fearfully and
the rain seemed to be driven in great sheets
before it. 1t has rained at intervals the en-
tire afternoon. but not so hard. Very few
farmers have come into town since the
storm. but these report heavy damage to
the standing grain. Considerable wheat
had been cut, and much of it had not been
set up and is badly drenched.

Tennessee was committed here last night
by a negress named Anna Davenport. She
had fight with another woman named
AIillie Plummer about week ago, and had

Mile became frightened and moved to an
other part of the city. Early last evening
AIillie left her 4 months baby at home
and went to a ball. About 10 o'clock a
policeman passing her house heard the
infant screaming and broke in the
door. Anna Davenport was standing over
the child, which was half covered with
quilt. The policeman threw back the
covering and found that the head, face and

Hopeful Grading Outlook.


BISMARCK, Oak, Aug. 11.-W. f. Nc
Kinney. grain and commission merchant Of
this city, yesterday received a cOmmunica-
ton frost his Duluth correspondent reading
as follows: ''Our state inspectors took
charge of grain inspection here on the LIST
inst. and the first day the elevators refused
seventeen cars of their inspection. The
matter was referred to the grain committee
of the board of trade and the chief state
inspector here, and it was decided that
eleven cars should 90 in as inspected and
the remaining six cars reduced in grade.
The makeup of the state board of inspec-
ton is in the interest of good grades, and
Justice will be done to the farmers by them.
and as soon as they get fairly to work we
think their grades will be the most satisfac-
tory that have ever been given here" This
is certainly pleasing information to the
grain growers of Dakota, who are neces-
sarily at the mercy of the Minnesota mar
ket. and it looks as if legislation i'll the in
terest of the farmers is beginning to bear
fruit in Minnesota. 1t is likely that be-
tween the inspectors of Dakota and those
OF Minnesota something like justice will be
done the farmers this year"

TOO HEAVILY INSURED.
Mrs. Baner of New Jersey Takes Out
Policies for 5000,
And Suddenly Dies, Creating Suspi-
ciOns of Foul Play.

PATERSON, n. J. Aug. 1.-THE coroner
of Paterson, accompanied by the chief of
police. the coroner of Hunters Point, Long
Island, and a couple of physicians, went to
the Lutheran cemetery near the latter place
to-day to exhume the body of a woman.
On the way to the cemetery Chief of Police
Grant told representative of the ASSO-
ciated Press the following story: For two
years past family named Baner. occupying
highly respectable position in society,
resided at HaledOn, near Paterson. n. J.
The Baners had previously resided in New
York city and appeared to be people of
wealth. Early in last June Mrs Baner was
taken sick, and after
TEN DAYS ILLNESS
died. as certified by the attending physician,
of peritonitiS. Mr.. Baner seemed to feel
the loss of his wife deeply, and had an eX-
pensiye funeral. The memory of the late
Mrs. Baner had almost died out in HaledOn
when some strange rumors got afiOat
which startled the community. 1t
was learned that Mrs. Baner's life had been
heavily insured in several companies and
some peculiar circumstances surrounding
her illness and death led to the suspicion
that she had been murdered in order to OBJ
tain the amount of insurance and defraud
the companies.
THE INSURANCE
on Mrs. Baner's life was as follows:
Equitable Life Insurance company of New
York. SIS. 900; New York Life Insurance
company, $4,000; Mutual Reserve Insur-
ance company, $4,000; Mutual Trust Iu-
surance company, 100000; Penn
sylyania Insurance company, $1,000;
Fishkill Insurance company of
Massachusetts,. 50. 900; making a total of
S53. 600. 1t is understood that the Equita-
be and New York Life Insurance compan-
les paid the amounts of their policies before
the rumurS of fraud got abroad. The off
GERS Of the Mutual Reserve company learn
ing of the supposed foul play, after con-
SUlting with the other companies, decided
10 refuse payment until a thorough inveSti-
CATION had been made. The theories adj
vanced by them We're that Mrs. Baner had
been poisoned or that she had been taken
away and another bOdyas
DUMMY BURIED
i'm the cemetery. Arriving at the cemetery,
the body was eXhumed and the coffin
opened. Upon being measured the body
was found to be six inches shorter than
Mrs. Baner's height when she was alive.
One of tine physicians who had examined
MIS- Baner when tle appIlcauOnS IOf IN
surance were put in. said that Mrs. Baner
had pag nose and light hair, while the
corpse had Grecian nose and light hair, but
he would not be positive on all particu-
lars. DrS. Satterthwaite and Cheeseman of
New York then opened the body and took
out the intestines, which tuey examined and
sealed up. They refused to give the result
of the examination until they shall have
made more careful examination in New
York, where the intestines have been taken.
The body was placed in the coffin and rein
tered. Lewis Baner, the husband of the
dead woman. TO whom all the policies were
payable, carries on real estate agency at
$50 Broadway, New York.

Iowa Corn Crop.
Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
Dies MONIES, Aug. lit has been
catching times during the week with farm
ers to dodge the showers and make hay or
secure grain while the sun shone. There
will be considerable loss from this source.
In some of the southern counties grasshop-
pers are doing considerable damage in corn
fields. Over the state corn is growing, the
farmers say, too much. 1t ought TO rest
and fill out the ears. One farmer reports
an average growth in one field of thirty
eight inches in seven days. One stalk es-
pecially measured went up eight and one
half inches in twenty-fOur hours. If frost
holds off until the LIST of October Iowa will
have big lot of corn to sell.

Larrabee the Coming Man.


Dies MONIES, Ia, Aug. liver since
the Republican primaries in Polk
county, which showed an indisput-
able majority of about twenty for
Hull for governor, the Given supporters
have been busy trying to undo that result.
They had claimed that the state delegates
should be chosen by supervisor districts
and to-day the Hull men made no
opposition. But on Mr. Kava-
nagh's motion to instruct Hon. j.
S. Runnells offered substitute
that as Polk has two candidates it would be
improper to instruct, supporting it in
mastery speech. On the roll call the sub
stitute was adopted, ten delegates instructed
for Hull voting therefor. The delegates are
said to stand eighteen for Hull to fourteen
for Given. 1t is generally conceded that
this result makes Larrabee's nomination
extremely probable. Mr.. Taylor was nomi-
mated for county superintendent.
