Minneapolis, May 19.-Stella Good
man, who has been a friend OF Harry
Haywards for some time past, called
upon him yesterday with a large
bunch of flowers, in which marguer-
ties held prominent place. She did
not remain long, however, and was
almost Immediately followed by Col.
Ingraham, who had called to see the
prisoner. Harry received him with
the greatest bon homie, selected a
daisy from his bouquet and presented
Ii to him. He then quickly rolled up
a souvenir moose for his caller, as a
memento of his visit.
WHO is that other man in here"
asked the colonel.
THAT" said Harry, facetiously.
that's Fisher of Wright county. He
killed his father, but he won't own
up to it. He might as well. He knows
it's no use to deny It,"
Williams, who is with Hayward and
Fisher. had little or nothing TO say.
Speaking of Hayward's attitude, the
colonel said, after he came away:
Its no use for any one to go there
with sympathy. It's all thrown away
on Harry. He don't want 1t. l

Wheat Goes I'm.

Chicago, May 19.-Wheat went over
the 7O-cent mark to-day, the July op-
ton closing at at 20 1-Sc, which is
3-Sc higher than it closed last night,
and 3 3-4c advance in the last two
days. The market opened strong, with
everybody buying. The opening sales
were at Lee advance, and prices went
up with rush, touching zoe on the
first bulge. The high price was too
tempting to the holders, and long"
wheat was dumped into the pit until
reaction resulted that carried the
July option back close to CSC. The
crop damage reports were numerous,
however, receipts We're moderate and
foreign markets were advancing, and
prices again flew up, the close being
the highest recorded in the recent ad-
yanceS.

One Hundred Acres OF Sunfiowers

5. ID. Cone, of Aberdeen, will plant
one hundred acres with sunhower seed
OF the Russian variety. II all goes
well, Mr.. Cones profits will be quite
satisfactory, and will come from every
part OF his product. The variety
planted is the largest extant; the
flower grows from eight inches to two
feet in diameter. The yield OF seed is
thirty to fifty bushels per acre, and
the seed produces about one gallon of
oil per bushel. The oil is quite high
priced and is the nearest approach
known to the genuine oil OF the olive.
After the oil has been extracted, the
seed meal left makes a splendid cake
for cattle and horse feed, much super
ior to the product of fax. Then
the stalks, which will number about
1880 to the acre, will yield five to
six cords OF fuel, about equal to wood
and worth in the neighborhood OF SIS
per acre.

A HORSE on CITY ATTORNEY.

Little Falls Ordinances.

Little Falls. Mimi. May 10. The

determination to enforce a city ordi-
nance, and to-day he swore out war
rants against J. A. Rhodes. city and
county attorney, and John Wetzel,
cashier of the German-American bank,
for riding bicycles on a city sidewalk.
The Offense was committed the even
ing previous. Both were brought be-
fore the municipal court and Wetzel
promptly pleaded guilty. Rhodes had
the chief Of police on the stand. and
by a line of questioning clearly
showed that information was wanted
about the chiefs acquaintance with
other ordinances and their possible
viOlatOrs. The examination was quite
amusing considering the fact that
the prisoner and questiOner was the
city attorney and the witness the
chief of police. After the attorney had
learned what he could about the mat
ter he pleaded guilty. Each of the de-
PENDANTS was fined So and costs.

Boat There Is Murder.
WinOna, Mimi, May 19.-Particulars
We're learned here to-day Of vicious
encounter between government EN-
plOyeS and tramps which took place
on quarter boat about a mile below
La Crosse. The government employees
are working on Mississippi river i'm
provements. Iramps have annoyed
them for some time past. and finally
made an organized raid which the en-
ployes succeeded in Quelling only by
the use of clubs and axes. In the
melee one of the labOrers struck at
tramp with an AK, hitting him on
the head with the butt edge. The
tramp. either stunned or killed by the
blow, fell into the river, and his body
tlOated down stream. This incident
Sobered both parties and the fracas
ended. The utmost silence has been
maintained over the affair. and had it
not been for the finding of the body of
the tramp at Genoa, and subsequent
investigation, it might never have
leaked out.

to the Rhamna tribe, and were killed

For four or five months Morocco has

most aggressive. All the disorderly wan :
