The Pious Cabinet Omcer Getting Into Deep
Water In the Bardsley Investigation
"A Busy Oniciai--other Tele-
graphic News.

PHILADELPHIA, June 30. CONTRARY to
the general impression. Posmaster-Gen-
eral Wanamaker did not appear before
the investigating committee of the
councils yesterday afternoon to explain
the apparent discrepancy between his
sequently developed by the Keystone
books. Instead he sent a letter saying
that If any information is wanted from
kim he should be glad at twenty-four
hours notice to meet any members of
the councils and explain every item of
his statement.
President Dunham, of the Mechanics
National bank of Trenton, testified
that the bank had loaned Yard money
ON certificate of keystone bank stock
for 200 shares, in the name of John
Wanamaker, and the transfer was
signed by him.
President Morris, Of the Girard Trust
company, said his company once held
certificates of the keystone bank as
collateral for loan made to Wana-
maker. In November last temporary
loans were made to the keystone bank
on electric trust stock President
Marsh, of the keystone bank, came to
President Morris and borrowed money,
stating at the same time that il would
be great obligation to Wanama<er.
Morris gathered the idea that the loan
was To be made to Wanamaker, and, as
he put it, 1--WE are willing at any time
to loan Mr. Wanamaker $400, 900" The
loans were repaid by the keystone
bank the next day. Morris said that
subsequently his company loaned
Wanamaker money on what he thinks
were the same shares Of electric stock.
Howard Spencer Jones, clerk in the
employ of Wanamaker, and in whose
name several of the certificates pledged
by Wanamaker TO the brokers stood,
explained that he signed transfers at
the request of WanamalSer He stated
that w. Ranken, in whose name sew
eral of the certificates stood, was
boy formerly in the employ of Wana-
maker. After some other witnesses
were examined adjournment was taken.

The Postal Exhibit.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June 3O.--Third
Assistant Postmaster-general Hazen
will have charge of the government
postal exhibit at the worlds fair in
Chicago. He says he has given but
little attention to the subject as vet,
but has outlined several of the princi.
pal features of the exhibit. The pos
tai exhibit will contain, among other
things, the most practical features yet
suggested. General Hazen will have
on the exposition grounds in Chicago,
as he had at New Orleans in 1884, a
fully equipped postoffice for the use of
the exhibitors and AL others who care
to use it. This idea was found so ac-
ceptable at New Orleans, that after
the exposition closed General Hazen
received numerous letters from boards
of trade, exhibitors and a number OF
institutions connected with the expos
ition enclosing votes Of thanks for tina.

ment in establishing such useful adj
junct to the exposition.

WoLsEY, S. d., June 30.-Another
train load of 1900 sheep direct from
Montana We're unloaded yesterday
forenoon from the Milwaukee track and
they were driven to Huron and Iro-
quois, where they will be disposed of
to farmers. They are n splendid lot of
sheep and it is the intention to bring
in several thousand more by fall, as
the demand is greater than the present
supply. Beadle now justly claims to
be the banner wool growing county of
this state, with over 80, 900 sheep within
its borders. j. c. Shepard has just
finished shearing his fine flock of 45O
head. One hundred of them, all ewes
with lambs, averaged fifteen pounds
per head, while the whole flock made
an average of ten pounds per head.
He recently refused an offer of ST.
each for his spring lambs. 1t is easy,
therefore, to figure an enormous profit
for Mr.. Shepard, which others can also
make by judiciously handling good
sheep. The wool clip of the county
will probably be about seven pounds
per head, which is very good consider
ing that all out sheep are ewes and
have raised lambs this season.

North Dakota sheen,

JAMESTOWN, y. d., June 30.-Wool
is slowly coming in from the country.
About half of the shearing has been
completed. The average weight of the
pelts is fully as great as last years
and is about ~ or 8 pounds. Many
tieeces will run from to 10 pounds.
Wool this year is of better grade than
last year.
Last year there were about 100, 600
pounds of wool shipped from James
town and this season wool men claim
there will be 300 900 pounds. Most of
it goes to Boston. Prices range from
13 to Is cents, the latter being gener-
ally obtained.
The great need of wool buyers who
pay cash and compete for the clip is
seen again here this year. The local
buyers have not the facilities or the
eastern advantages to give the best
prices. Every merchant in the city is
anxious that the farmers get the
most for their wool, and it is believed
those buying now are paying all they
can afford without loss. There has
been no grade established for Dakota
wool in the eastern market, because
the product is of such recent origin
that buyers have not been able to figure
on it. Dakota wool is still classed un-
der the fiuctuating and uncertain des-
cription of territorial woods. One firm
expect to ship about $4,000 feeces to
Boston. These are the product of
sheep in which they are jointly inter
ested.
In explanation of the sheep losses in
Grand Forks county, it is believed here
that the loss was caused by pneumonia
and not poison weed or gopher poison.
The sheep were accustomed to being
housed nights, and after shearing
were taken on the long drive, exposed
to cold weather and naturally took
cold. This is a matter of interest to
all sheep men in tie state.

HURON, S. D., June 3O.-Oliicer Glenn,
of the United States weather bureau,
South Dakota branch gives the follow
ing in his crop bulletin, based on re-
ports from over thirty South Dakota
counties and half as many in North
Dakota, received up to yesterday:
The amount of rainfall during the
week was about the average. 1t oc-
Cured in showers, well distributed
and some heavy. The temperature
was possibly little below, with about
the average fmount Of sunshine. The
conditions were very favorable TO the
growth of all crops, except that corn
has not grown as rapidly as it would
have done with warmer weather. The
report is general that wheat, oats, bar
ley, rye and flax have made very
marked growth. Corn is stocliy, in
fine color and growing finely. Where
the wheat and other small grain were
injured by the dry weather and winds
of several weeks ago, their condition
continues to improve, and in most lo-
calities the yield, under favorable
conditions from now ON, will suffer
comparatively little reduction. In most
counties, however, these crops did not
suffer materially from the influence
named, and consequently they are now
rank in growth nud. pranAis-a elsS Ssnt
results.
Small grain that was thinly sown
and lightly covered is now being
crowded by a rank growth of grass and
weeds. This is the case on stubblc
ground. In several localities farmers
have plowed such crops under, and be-
causc of ample moisture are seeding to
millet. A large acreage has been de-
voted to this crop, and it is generally
reported in excellent condition and ad-
vanced stage of growth.
The week has been very favorable to
potatoes and all garden stuffs. Re-
ports continue TO indicate that the
prospects are excellent and conditions
the most favorable for years.
The foregoing applies to North 'as
well AS to South Dakota, except rs to
corn, which is little later north.
Grasshoppers are reported doing con
siderable damage in the vicinity of

The River Rapidly Rising.

KANSAS Cry, June 30.--The river
continued to rise all night and by day
light this morning had passed the dan
ger line and flooded the lowlands. The
entire town Of Harlem is under water
up to the first floors of the houses,
with the exception Of few built on
the knolls. The street car line run
ming to Midway has suspended opera
tions, as the tracks are under water
almost the entire distance. In West
Kansas City many families have been
driven from their homes, but as there
is little or no current in the overflow
the damage TO property will not be
heavy. t
