The Rise I'm wheat,

Minneapolis Tribune, Aug. IA: The
wheat trade at the beginning of the week
was full Of doubt and perplexity. At the
end of the week operators in our local
exchange were full of hope. Taking the
week as whole it has been good one
as compared with many weeks past, the
price of September wheat showing a net
gain of 3tc over the previous Saturday
night 1t Is safe to say that nowhere in
the business world are improved condl
tions more quickly felt and responded to
than in the speculative wheat trade.
On the first day of the week everybody
felt very gloomy because of financial
stringency. On Tuesday they were afraid
to do anything pending the receipt Of
the government report. The report was
received late on Tuesday, and, notwith-
standing the fact that everybody consiu-
cred it very bulIish report, "Wednesday
witnessed another break In values be-
cause of aggravated financial conditions
In the way of failures. On Thursday
there was better feeling, but trodipg
was light. Friday produced an active
market because of easier finances, and on
Saturday the reports of financial ease
were even more pronounced, causing a
very active, strong and higher market for
both speculative and cash wheat. The
exports for the week were again on an
enormous scale, and from the clearances
on Saturday there is every reason to be-
lieve that they will be equally large dur-
ing the coming week.
The government report shows . great
shortage in our prospective crop: Euro
pean news all points to larger wants than
usual. In fact all legitimate news is Of
the builish sort. Finances are fast right
ing themselves and great wave Of good
feeling is evident in the wheat trade.
1t is an old saying that latter things
get to the worst they begin to mend. ;"
This has been on the minds OF spectators
for months past, but the seeming worst"
from time to time was only the compare
tive of bad. All that, however, has
changed in the last two or three days, and
it is believed that the lowest depths Of
the speculative mind have been faith
omed. From Thursday to Saturday night
great gains we're recorded. More mate
rial gains have frequently been made in
less time but coming after such pro-
tracted season of gloom, it seemed to the
traders like the finding of water in des-
ert.
It is now figured out by the best in
formed that we shall not raise more than
sufficient for bread and seed, and that the
quantity available for export Is exceed
ingly limited, even taking the large sur.
plus held over from 1892. From the
latest and best advices procurable at press
cnt, Europe will require to import more
this year than last year, and for the sup.
plying of her needs Europe is more dc.
pendent than ever on America. 1t docs
not take an expert IN the business to Gals
culate froms such data that the present
low level OK values is not likely to last
much longer. There may be . few set.
backs from time to time, but it is gen
orally believed that the course of prices
will be onward and upward until legiti:
mate price for wheat shall be reached

A Wolf In the Fold.

1t is likely that some of the people of
the Williamsport neighborhood will re.
member the Rev. Deets, formerly sta
toned at Steele, aud who was down here
once or twice with that other eminent

some time, until recently, Brother Dcets
was shepherd of a flock over in Mime.
sofa, and how faithful he was to his
trust is related in the following from the
Mandan Times Probably many of our
people will remember one Rev. j. D.
Deets, formerly of Steele, and who as
sisted Rev. E. P. LaCell in camp
meeting held IN Hannah's Grove about
three years ago. Dects was an 'ornery,'
insignificant appearing creature, but for
some reason he appears to have been a
lion among the lambs-not here, but IN
some other places. He had trouble in
Richland county. but 1t was hushed up.
This seems to have emboldencd him, and
he finally ran up against the wrong
crowd. Recently he has been engaged in
the work of saving souls and 80 forth at
Long Prairie, MINI. He kept up his rec
ord, and was soon on entirely too init
mate terms with one of the lambs of his
flock. Their merry gambols were discov-
cred, and about three weeks ago he
skipped with the lamb. After he had de.
posted his mutton in secure retreat he
returned to Long Prairie and tried to run
bluff by demanding an investigation !;
but his bluff was promptly called by his
brother preachers, and, on trial before q
jury of twelve, he was unanimously ad.
judged guilty and bounced from the min.
istry. There is much sympathy expressed
for his wife and children"

ONE thing the editor noticed during
his recent visit to Chicago That. the
"hard times" are not confined to the New
Northwest. The writer talked with q
farmer from Lee county, ILL.,, who was
visiting the fair. He said, in response to
remark made by the writer that times
are hard in the northwest: "Yes, and
they are hard in Illinois. They are hard
for farmers everywhere. Prices of farm
products are so low that there is little
margin of profit in raising anything. All
the farmer can expect to do until there is
a brighter outlook is to hire as little help
as possible, aud live off Of that which he
can ralse by his own labor. I have 100
acres within 100 miles of Chicago, but at
present prices of produce do not make
as much profit out of it as I would if
had sold it a year ago anu lived off of the
purchase price invested at 6 per cent y
l tell you, the present hard times are gen
cral among farmers"
And along the railroad scenes were wit
messed that brought to mind the fact tina,
the farmers in this part of the world arc
not alone in possessing reasons for com.
plant. Almost without exception, the
gram crops all the way to Chicago were
wretchedly poor, and IN many instances
the uncut grain was being plowed under
And of the corn that could be seen from
the car windows but little was fairly
good. There win be larger average
of corn per planted acre IN this county
than IN northeastern Illinois. The pas
lures seen we're all dry and closely
cropped, and the cattle and horses brows'
ing. therein would be considered very
very poor in this part of the world.
To settler in this country visit tt

1t would convince HIM that his lot is MOI
so bad as that OF the average small farm
er or wage-workcr in the older states.

SOMETIMES settler is heard to "cuss'
the country because Of the poor crop and
the hard times. But are not the tempo
rary conditions prevailing the chief cause
of disappointment? When we came here
we expected dollar bushel for wheat

pectations had been fulfilled. wouldn't t
the country have been all right to-day :
Nor is "the country" to blame because

should not forget that the low prices of
farm produce hurt the farmers elsewhere
as badly as here.

Bismarck Rl0ZcN.

Monday and Tuesday of this week were
busy days for the Bismarck fire depart
ment. On the former day. about p. m.,
fire broke out in the residence of Andcr-
son Healy, on the edge Of town. About
the same time his barn caught fire. The
house was saved, but the barn was total
loss--about $500--fully covered by insur-
ancc. The house and furniture we're
damaged to about the same amount, also
covered by insurance.
About o'clock the same evening fire
was discovered over the Sheridan House
barber shop. The flames had gotten un-
der considerable headway. but were ex.
tinguisbeed before much damage was
done.
The small loss at both fires is supposed
to have been due to Attorney General
Standlsh, whose knowledge of all things
movable rendered the firemen great as
sistance. He spit on the ire and it went
out.
At $50 a. IN. Tuesday fire broke out in
one of the old shells east of the Banner
house, and before it could he extingulshed
four buildings burned.

SAVED BY A PAWN TICKET.
a Philadelphia Society Swell Who Feared
Disgrace If Ee Died.


A young man well known about town
in Philadelphia came very near pass
ing in his chips a short time ago, but
anxiety about a pawn check probably
saved his life. He was suffering from
a severe case of pneumonia, and ac-
cording to the Record, his physicians
despaired of pulling him through. The
grim reaper was about to cut him
down. when the young man suddenly
recollected that during q financial en-
barrassment previous to his illness he
had pawned his handsome gold watch
in order to raise the necessary cash.
The pawn ticket was even at that mo-
ment under his pillow. With renorse
gnawing at his v;tals he hastily sum-
moned his bosom friend, to whom he
conided his plight. Il don't want 10
die and have any pawn tickets found
on me- he exclaimed. For heavens
sake get it out" The friend took the
ticket and hurried away with al pos
sible speed to execute his commission,
fearing he would return aid And the
owner of the watch a corpse. Strange
to say. the experience seemed TO have
an exhilarating cz;ect upon thca sick
man and he began TO mend al once.

ORIGIN OF THE BALLET.
known to Have Flourished in Italy -Four
Hundred Years Ago.

known to Have Flourished in Italy Four
Hundred Years Ago.
Strictly defined, the ballet is proper
ly theatrical exhibition of the art Of
dancing in its highest perfection, COM
plying generally with the rules of the
drama as to its composition and form.
1t was in existence in Italy as far back
as A. D. 1900, according to Music and
the Drama, the court OF Turin in that
day making especial use OF it and the
royal family and mobiles taking part in
it. The ballet was first introduced in
France in the reign of Louis XIII, and
both that monarch and Louis XIV. oc-
casionally took part in it's dances.
In its earliest presentation the ballet
appeared dexterously in combination
with the other theatrical acts and is
said to have completed the chaotic
medley exhibited in these spectacles,
which were at once neurological, al
legorical, fantastic, warlike and pas
toral." The reader win not be slow
to observe that its development in the
present day has not apparently lost
sight of these conditions.
About the year 1900 women made
their first appearance in the ballet,
which up to that time had been per-
formed exclusively by men, as was the
case also with plays and operas, but no
woman ballet dancer of any note ap-
peared until 1890, or about a century
ago. As early as 1850, however, the
ballet had been separated from the
opera and given an independent dra-
matte form. Later on in the century
the ballet assumed the form of a great
rhythmical pantomine, and for many
decades was kept up in the theater of
Milan in most exalted style.
