WHEAT CROP RUINED.


cent storms.
CHICAGO, Oct ia special from
Minneapolis, MINI, regarding the re-
ported damage of the wheat crop, saysi
The suspense over the wheat crop of
North Dakota and the northern counties
Of Minnesota has grown into positive
alarm. Up to Tuesday it was con-
eeded that the grain would be threshed.
During Monday night, however, heavy
rains set in all over the northern coun-
try, which changed to snow and kept
falling steadily.
The 8 orm extends as far south as
Minneapolis and all threshing opera
lions are suspended, and will not be re-
Bumed until next week, even if there be
no more rain or snow. Mill and eleva-
tor men declare that from 5000, 900 to
B. OOO, 900 bushels of wheat will be utter
ly ruined.
Col. Z. r. Walker said of the situation
yesUurday: 81 have just returned from q
trip through that section. 1t made my
heart ache to witnes the ruin. In order
TO appreciate it one must actually see it.
There are thousands of simply wonder
full wheaJields almost utterly destroyed
by the rains. The reports published d 0
not cover half the devastation -

with Catarrh, finally and completely,
or you have $500 in cash.
That's what is promised you, no
matter how bad your case or of how
long standing, by the proprietors of
DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
Catarrh can be cured. Not with
the poisonous, irritating snufTs and
strong, caustio solutions, that simply
palliate for time, or perhaps, drive
the disease to the lungs-but with
DIR. Sage's Remedy.
The worst cases yield to its mild,
soothing, cleansing and healing prop
critics. "Cold in the Head" needs
but a few applications. Catarrhal
Headache, and all the effects of Ca
tarrh in the Head such as often
sive breath, loss or impairment of
the senses of taste, smell and hear
ing, watering or weak eyes-are at
once relieved and cured.
In thousands of cases, where ev-
erything else has failed, DR.. Sage's
Remedy has produced perfect and
permanent cures. That gives its
proprietors faith to make the offer.
It's $500, or a cure. They mean
to pay you, if they can't cure you.
But they mean to cure you, and
they can.

GAofh hNout ana tho way re hont thc
Firm OF Konnott. Hopkins & Co.
NEW York, Oct. 15.--An investigation
Of the methods Of Mr. r. II. Stout the
employe Of Kennett, Hopkins s. Co. q,
who disappeared last month, has result
cd in the discovery Of some interesting
facts
Tho firm had a customer Of the name
OF Thomas j. Briggs, who deposited
cash and stocks with them. Mr. Briggs,
thinking he had $50, 600 with the firm,
called for that amount and was told
that there was but $50, 900 placed to his
credit.
He was much surprised, and produced
statements which be had received from
Stout showing that he had $50, 000 Mr..
Briggs concluded TO investigate aud
placed the matter in the hands of his
attorneys.
1t is said that the investigation shows
that Stout sent Briggs false statements
and kept back the regular statements
sent out by his employers. He took the
checks deposited to Briggs credit and
also forged Endorsements
The checks sent from the firm to Mr.
Briggs were also appropriated.
The firm NAME with Mr. Stout's sig
nature beneath IT,, was affixed to tho
checks, and the trusted employe then
negotiated them at the Holland Trust
Company.
He manipulated checks Of both Ken
nett, Hopkins & Co., and their GUS
toners, Mr. Briggs, for months in the
most reckless way to the amount of $40,
600 or $50, 900.
1t is said that Mr.. Stout also took
stocks and bonds deposited to Mr..
Briggs credit, thus swelling the total
amount Of his stealings to about $40 600.

CUTTING THE RATES.
Lively Competition on Skagit
River Route Steamers.
THREE OF THEM IN THE FIGHT.
The West Indians Rough Trip From
Chile-The Steamer Arago Saved
A British Barkentine Wrecked.

There Is an interesting rate war in progress 90
tween the steamers Cascade and w. F. Nun )e
on the skagit river route, and in consequeh ce
the fare has been dropped from 81 to 50 cents,
and freight rates from 81 to 81. The Henry
Bailey and W. F. Munroe, formerly the only
boats on the run, had regular rate of 81 for
freight and the same for passengers, but the
Cascade started in on the route last week and
made a 81 rate. Yesterday the Munroe went her
one letter and put the rate down to 50 cents.
This seemed to please the public, and she took
out big load OF passengers. The fight promises
to be warm one it also involves
the fight between Hatfeld's wharf and the
Merchants wharf. The latter some time ago
reduced the rate OF wharfage to . cents and in
duoed the steamer w. F. Munroe, then docking
at Hatfeld's wharf, to call there for skagIt
river freight, until finally she went there TO
dock altogether. Hatfield then tried to get the
Henry Bailey, which was docking at IL. w.
Baker Co.'s wharf, to go to his wharf for
skagit river freight but Baker & Co. would not
submit to this, and, after going there once or
twice, the Bailey stopped receiving freight from
Hatfield's wharf. Now that the Cascade has
started in on the same route, docking at Hat
fields wharf, it gives Hatfield chance to take a
hand in the fight and add spirit to it. So far the
Henry Bailey has refused TO meet the reduc-
ton, but it is only question of time until she
will be compelled to and then it will be race
for Hfe-the survival of the fittest.
