COUNTRY BUYERS QUIT
And in Consequence the Price Of
September Corn Took q
Drop.
THOUGHT IT HIGH ENOUGH.
Corn Is King However, and Other
Cereals Merely Fluctuate In
Sympathy.

excited and higher again, but the ductu-
ati0ns In the early trading were not 90
wildly errntic. The dominant feature
is still the corn crop situation, and other
cereals merely fuctuate In sympathy
with corn. Country buying orders con-
tinue TO push prices up The givers Of
these orders are in the midst Of the corn
belt, know the situation ait first hand,
and the weather has been kind to them.
The local professional traders have been
lighting the advance for the past 10
days, feeling assured that rain must
come berore the absolute ruin Of the
crop occurred. "A single general rain,
which past experience made q very
strong probability, would have reversed
the conditions at any time within the
past two weeks; but, instead Of rains,
there were hot winds, and the result has
been that the country speculators have
been making money hand over fist,
while the city speculators who have
learned to be chary of ''crop scares,"
have been losing il as fast.
Thank Prices Too High.
Local traders feel that prices for grain,
especially corn, are perilously high; that
In fact they are top heavy, and that
anything like general rain within the
next few days would cause elump In
values. The country speculator, how
ever, continues to look at the brown
fields and the blue sky, and then tele-
graphs his broker to double his buying
orders. This, with the bullish state crop
reports. the continued high tempera-
lures, scorching winds and lack
OF rain throughout the corn belt,
together with strong cables, were the
bullish influences at work when the
market opened.
September corn started at 0O3<c, but
ON heavy offerings by local traders broke
at once to 58116c; then rallied to 50c, but
reacted to 6614c; but doomed again to
$3.50, on 70 561kc, and back 10 571kc.
Ceuntsy Ordsrs sssppsd.
The sudden slump In corn soon after
the opening was due TO the giving out
Of country buying orders; execution Of
country ''stOp loss' orders which were
placed at about 10 below the opening
price, and which were reached through
heavy sales by local dealers. The coun-
try has evidently come to the conclu.
sion that corn il high enough for the
present, and the buying orders which
have 50 far doomed the market, failed
altogether soon after the opening.

Lake Hanska and Linden.

Martin Clausen has left for Norway
after having lived in Lake Hanska for
years. Several others will follow soon.
Theshing is over. The crops have
been fair, but the remuneration for
threshing unusually poor. There were
too many machines in the field, and
bitter competition was the result instead
of healthfnl combination.
Several of the political candidates have
visited this section, and MI. Gilbert has
made speeches in both towns.
1t has created had impression for L.
B. Krook that he should leave his office
in the midst of term and engage in
other business. 1t may be that the duties
of the office will be administered equally
well during his absence, but the tax-pay-
ers generally expect to see a man do
the work who receives the wages.
Rev. Dahl of Iowa conducted a meet
ing in the Lake Hanska church on the
18th, and is now engaged in securing
contributions for the aid of a theological
school in Northfeld, Iowa. Last Sun
day Knut Stoke, an cmissary from the
Chinese Mission Society of Norway de-
livered an address.
The new Lake Hanska church will be
dedicated on the 18th of November.
We hope in this section for the cleo.
ton of Mr.. Ahlness as auditor. As to
his honesty and ability, there has never
been any question and probably never
will be. His record as Legislator is
still fresh in our minds, and even Re.
publican papers give him the deserved
credit of having never faltered from
what he believed to be right, notwith
standing his position as the first voting
member was not an easy one. If elected
there need be mo doubt but that he vii
be fair and just. and furthermore i
seems no more than proper that one of thu
county officials should come from out
side of the cities. Mr.. Bertrand is Ger
tainly man of more than common abil
ity, but it tastes trife of greediness
when his party nomlnates him to anothe
and more lucrative office while his tern

We have gained the impression from
this that he was nominated solely for tn,
sake of making strong antagonist K
Mr.. Ahlness, and it Is our honest opinion
that neither Mr.. Bertrand nor any othe
man is entitled to a life lease on county
positions.

The Extraordinary Differences Betwee
History and Poetry.


History and Poetry.
Verdi, it seems, is responsible for the
rehabilitation of '-old Jack" 1t was his
Falstaff that set the erudites TO work;
and now it appears from French sources
principally that Sir John was born at
Caistercastle, Norfolk, in 1877. and that
he died in his native country at the age
of eighty-two years. He was brave
soldier, and gave and received many
wounds. Toward the close of his life
he lived like country gentleman. and
evinced the most tender solicitude for
the universities of Oxford and Cam
bridge. establishments of which he was
one of the founders.
When he was sixteen years of age he
went to France in the capacity of
squire to the duke of Clarence He
distinguished himself on many ocea-
sions by his bravery in action. and was
soon charged with important military
functions In l4l5 he was lieutenant
governor of the town Of Honfeur.
After the battle of Agincourt. where
he fought with his usual bravery. he
captured the duke of Alencon. Later
ON he captured by assault the strong
hold of Bec-Crepin. lie made himself
conspicuous in all the battles around
Orlean, especially at Rouvray->ainte-
Croix.
But at this point Joan of Arc APP
peared, and victory returned to the
French arms. The siege of Orleans was
raised: Talbot was made prisoner and
Falstaff was obliged To fly before the
warrior woman.
Such are the principal features in
the military life of Falstaff. VI. Wallet
de Niriville has made an interesting
sketch of them, and puts the question:
Is this Sir John Falstaff, the hero of
Agincourt and the comganion of Tai
bot. the ''old Jack" of Shakespeare?
And what is there in common between
the brave soldier. who was the founder
of universities. and the extraordinary
braggart, glutton and coward which
the poet introduces in Henry ~" and
The Merry Wives of Windsor" Not
withstanding all the differences of
character between the Falstaff of his
tory and the Falstaff of Shakespeare
the greater number of the critics have
come to the conclusion that we must
look upon the two characters as one.
and that the soldier was sadly misrep-
resented by the poet. This is their ex-
plaEation of the affair:
After the defeat of the English at
Orleans. Falstaff retire ated toward Cor
bell. His conduct was severely criti-
cised. lie was accused of failing TO
support Talbot and of being guilty of
treason. These accusations never
amounted to anything more than criti-
cism; but Sir John was ridieuled in
England for running away from a wo-
man, and Shakespeare, eehoing the
popular sentiment, put Falstaff upon
the stage. where he is destined to re
main forever famous. But it is pleas
ing to see odd Jack" in a new suit of
clothes, or rather in his genuine old
soldier coat.-N. Y. sun.
