The Knnsns Whont Crop

KANSAS CITY, Sept 9.-Ever since
the wheat harvest in kansac was begun
receipts of wheat at this place has been
enormous. Many of the farmers with
big crops were anxious to market their
wheat at the earliest possible moment
and secure ready money to pay their
debts. Up to within the past week
railroads have been able to handle crops
with moderate promptness, but since
then receipts have been SO heavy that Il
blockade of serious dimensions now ex.
lists. This morning there were in the
Missouri Pacific yards 500 cars of loaded
wheat waiting to be forwarded, in Santa
Fe 400 cars, in the Union Pacific yards
$50 and in the yards of all other roads
about 800. Reports from various points
in Kansas state that loaded cars OF
wheat are waiting on switches for trans
portation. The railroads are doing ev-
erything to break the blockade. All
the spare engines Lave been brought
into the service of moving the wheat
and it is expected that in few days all
the cars of loaded wheat will be for
warded with reasonable dispatch.

President French on tho Crops.

ST. PAUL, Sept. ST. L. French,
president of the Peoples Bank, at
Wahpeton, is guest at the Merchants.
"Wahpeton has already begun to feel
the effect of the good crop in her busi
ness AFFAIRS" said he. with nearly
three times as much money for their
crops this year as they did last, they
are using their money to pay their
debts among the merchants and at the
banks, and we have great deal more
money in circulation up there now than
we had last year. The Sisseton and
Wahpeton Indians spend great deal Of
money in buying bu ggles and wagons.
They selected these from catalogues,
and some of the selections were trif1e
odd, to say the least. Chief Renville
saw nothing that caught his fancy ex
cept hearse, and all the explanations
of the dealer could not deter him from
the desired vehicle. He will
cut great swath when that arrives

Laid to Rest,

The remains of s. s. Avery arrived in
the city yesterday morning, accom-
panied by his brother. AS the body
had been in the water for some days it
was not in a fit state for exposure, and
the proposition to allow his many
friends to take last look at his feat
ures had to be abandoned. The same
reason made it impossible to use q
hearse on account of the size of the
casket.
The funeral services were conduct. d
by Rev. W. 81. Van Horn at the Bap-
tist Church. in the presence of large
audience. The preacher took for his
text the passage from the gospel of st.
John, LET not your heart be troubled,
ye believe also in me-" He alluded to
the deceased as needing no words OF
eulogy from him, as all Of these present
were familiar with his kindly spirit, his
integrity and his manly and
upright conduct In his walk
through life he had won the respect OF
all who came in contact with him by his
uniform kindness and willingness to
help those in need of any kind. He was
born in Augusta, Me-, in 1859, and
while yet young man became promi-
nent in business circles among his
townsmen. Besides his brother, who
was here to mourn with us today, he
left o brother in Boston and two sisters
in Maine. 1t had been his privilege to
have paid many visits to the deceased,
and to be intimately acquainted with
him, and though he was not member
of their church, he was constant at
tendant and liberal contributor.
To the sorrowing friends he would
say in the word of the passage of scrip
ture which he had read: "Let not
your heart be troubled" Instead of
looking upon death as sad and gloomy
thing, we must remember that it is but
the gateway through which all must
pass to reach the many mansions pre-
pared for us in that better and brighter
world, where we hope to meet him
again.

Buckbee and male quartette, the pro.

Charged With Much wicledne.u.

TORONTO. Ont. Sept. s.-Frank Risch,
son of prominent merchant here, has
been the central figure in two sensa.
tions. With his brother he met Sadie
Lavelle. a pretty Hamilton girl of 1s, at
Hanlan's Island, with friend. The
young men invited the girls into the
private boat house in Toronto, where
Miss Lavelle found that her companion.
1G year-old girl from London. was not
altogether of the best character and
this fact had much to do with Sadies
downfall. A few nights after she asked
young Risch to marry her. but he re-
fused and left the city. Soon after
Sadie died. after having made state
ment that she had been drugged. A
DOCTORS certificate that death Was the
result of typhoid fever was obtained
and the body was taken to Hamilton
and buried there. No proceedings were
taken against Risch because there was
no proof that he had drugged the girl
thing but natural causes. Today while
Risoh was in st. Georges Episcopal
Church in st. GATHERINGS waiting to be
married to a 16-year old girl, he was
arrested by the police on charge of
abduction. The girl was Miss Luen
Rolls. She attended school in Toronto,
where Risch met her. She is pretty,
and will be worth $25. 600 when she be-.
comes 25 She is the ward of firm of
lawyers, at whose insta ce the arrest
was made. Risch's brother, who was
waiting with him in the church at the
time, was also arrested.

here by the appointment of Hugh

Northern Pacific Crops.

New YORK, Sept. Tt is stated that
President Oakes of the Northern Pacific
Railroad is preparing an estimate of the
grain crop in the territory tributary to
the company's lines. Incomplete re-
turns indicate an increased yield of
about 90 per cent, we'll distributed over
the entire area travelled by the road.
To meet the pressure of shippers the
equipment has been increased by 1900
freight cars. all of which have been de-
livered, and the Baldwin Locomotive
Works has turned over the last of forty
eight locomotives. Elevators have been
erected at various points, and the work
of hauling the crop to market will be
accomplished with little confusion, in
spite of the immense amount of grain at
hand.
For the first time in several years the
region east of Bismarck has escaped
drouth or some other calamity, and the
harvest there is exceptionally abundant.
This fact, it is believed, will stimulate
the demand for land in that district,
which has been very light of late. Pay
ments for land east of the Missouri
River may be made in preferred stock,
and in fact nearly all payments may be
so made, and a revival of the demand
for agricultural laud in the eastern part
OF the company's grant would undoubt.
edly result in the retirement of con-
siderable block of the preferred stock.
