KILLING OF TERRY.
Ikea RABlD DOG HE IS REMOVED
FROM THE EARTH.

Our community is now famiar with the
details of the killing of Charles Terry
and The Progress, as is It's custom, will
! not repeat them, Our paper does not
! deal iu such. But with the brutes who
figure therein, ALWAYS, and IN strona
earnestness too.
Terry's memmory, as an individual.
should be linked with mfamy. He ruth
lessly and with hellish desire violated the
most sacred rules of society, and such
creatures have no lease OIL life in our
community, Like rabid d g, like
viper, like any other repulsive enemy of
mankind his worthless life has been
taken. The Progress docs not hesitate tn
unequivacally say, that the father Mr.
Cobb did right in taking his depraved
life, and it thinks 1t the duty OF the head
Of every family in our community to
tell him so and give him their right hand
of sympathy aud let the worlu thus
know what our people think of such
cattle as Terry.
And those friends who have tried to
make Terry but victim to Mr.. Cobbs
error1The Progress will say, and in a
manner you will do we'll to understand;
perhaps girls honor is but trifie to
you; you may be framed after the same
mould as Terry, but you are now in q
community whose people will brook no
characters like him, and YoU had better

CROP CONDITIONS.

The wheat crop of the past season. like
several others which preceded 1t, had its
Diemlshes. in all sections of the wheat area
of the Northwest there were incidental trou-
bles with smut, while some portions Of the
extreme Northern or hard wheat belt suf-
fered considerably in addition from early
frost. The result is shown in the reduced
percentage Of the No. hard grade, as com
pared with more favorable years. On the
whole, however, the crop averaged we'll up
IN quality with that Of the year previous.
ceiyed. 1910 cars, or IA per cent, inspected
as No. 1 hard, as against 51h per cent the
preceding year; 125, 531 cars, or 5915 per cent
graded No. 1 northern. as against 671a per
cent; $3.50 cars, or Is per cent, No. north
ern, as against IL per cent; 32,001 cars, or Is
per cent, below No. northern as against IA
per cent last year.
In the endeavor to properly and Justly
classify wheat which has been damaged from
any cause, the department naturally encount-
ers more or less difficulty and criticism. This
is particularly true of frosted and smutty
wheat. The former is bought sparingly by
m1llers, and our grades on this class of wheat
are scrutiniZed very closely; in most cases
purchases are made by sample and grades
cut secondary figure. Smutty wheat, until
year ago, was tabooed by the trade both
at home and abroad. Northwestern millers
however, with their usual energy and pro-
gressive spirit, have discovered and put into
operation a mechanical device for the pur-
pose Of washing wheat which is tainted with
smut and bringing it into prime condition
Tor mining. This is accomplished at COM
paratively small expense per bushel, and the
benefits accruing to the farmer are seen in
the advanced prices of this class of grain in
our home markets. Smutty wheat however
is not at all acceptable to Eastern buyers
and millers, and they decline to use it, ex-
cept at a great discount, so that at present
the market for this class of grain is practi-
cally confined to Northwestern territory.
FINANCES
The amount Of revenue received during the
year for inspection service was $124, 949. 80;
for weighing service, $115, 11927; interest on
deposits and incidental earnings, 81, 1888. 80, or
total revenue of $241 942.87.
The disbursements during the same period
were $174, S0S24, leaving a net gain for the
year of SGT 1888. The balance on hand from
last season was 81, 794.97, making a net bal
ance on hand at the close of the season COW
cred by this report of sos, 929. 20. AS the COM
ing crop of the three states from which we
principally derive our business promises not
to exceed much over 60 per cent of the last
one, the department is fortunate in having
a sufficient surplus to tide it over the
coming season and enable it to furnish
the high grade service which the conditions
of the trade demand. The probability is that
by the close of the present season, owing to
largely decreased revenues, the surplus will
have been reduced to normal figures

A. c. Clausen, chief inspector of
grain of the state of Minnesota, COM
pleted his report for the crop year end
ing Aug. 81 yesterday, and submitted
it to the railroad and warehouse COM
missioners. 1t is as follows:
The total number of carloads of grain in
spected ION arrival at the four terminal
points is as follows: Wheat, 210,917; corn,
3,006; oats, 1912; rye, 1876; barley, 1853;
tlaxseed, ID $751; total inspection of incoming
grain of all kinds amounting to 250 805 car
loads.
The inspection ''out of store for the same
period as follows: Wheat, 38,131 car
loads and 46, 1872, 4S4 bushels into vessels. The
total amount of corn, oats, rye, barley and
haxseed was 9,811 carloads and 1906, 515
CD or a grand total of 1892 carloads and
IS, S2S. 1893 bushels Into vessels of all kinds
of grain inspected "out of store"
AS compared with the volume of business
transacted during any previous season in the
history of the department, that of the past
year is unsurpassed. The nearest approach
to it was the season of 1892, during which
POI, $40 carloads of grain were inspected ION
arrival and 6S.634 carloads and 49, 133, 1874
bushels ''out of store"
In this connection attention is called to the
remarkable increase in receipts of coarse
grain and faxseed over any former season.
This is largely accounted for by the reason
of the growing tendency to abandon exclusive
wheat culture and devote attention to some
of the other cereals The extension of the
Great Northern railway system into south
west territory also accounts to an impor-
tant extent for the increase of traffic at
Northwestern points which were formerly
tributary to Chicago.

Giles H. Fitch. with the pre1xed title
OF colonel to his name in the direct
DRY, who has been residing with his
family at No. 613 Martin street since
last May, was arrested by the United
States authorities yesterday upon in
formation from Omaha, Neb., charging
his indictment in that city for the en-
bezzlement of pension funds. Col
Fitch was arraigned before United
States Commissioner Spencer, and, in
default of $1,000 bail, was committed
tc the Ramsey county Jail pending an
application for a warrant of removal
which will be made before Judge Loeb
rem today.
The papers upon which the arrest Of
Fitch was made charge the misappro-
priation Of $27S of pension money paid
to j. L. Chapman, who is ward of
Fitch's confined in an insane asylum
at Omaha. In his capacity as guard
ian, it is alleged that Fitch received
the funds from the government, but
failed to convert them to the use Of
his ward
Mr.. Fitch denies the charges against
him, and brands them as having orig
mated with some Of the maliciously in
clined citizens Of Omaha, where he
lived for many years, and claims to
have held a number Of public offices.
He admits willingness to go to Ne
braska to face his accusers, and ex-
presses his belief that he will have no
difficulty in establishing his innocence.
Fitch was arrested at his home by
Deputy United States Marshal Henry
yesterday morning. Should the court
grant papers of extradition he will be
taken to Omaha today.

MAKING A STRONG FIGHT.
GriefendOrff's Stubborn Defense to
the Charge of Arson.


In the Griefendorff arson case before
Judge Brill in the district court yester-
day the entire day was occupied with
the Introduction Of testimony by the
defense. Griefendorff, the defendant,
was placed on the stand and wholly
denied the truth Of the evidence given
by Justus Aschmidt, the chief witness
for the prosecution. Griefendorff tes-
titled that the fire was the result of an
accident He said he had arisen early
on the morning Of the fire to prepare
for q visit to his sons, who were camp
ing out at White Bear lake. ASchmidt
had spent the night with him at his
house, and when both got up, witness
had left the room for a few minutes,
going into the yard. When he returned
ASchmidt had gone out and witness
had attempted to light gasoline stove
which exploded, thus causing the house
to be set on fire. Griefendorff in sup
port of his statement, testified that
Aschmfdt had been tampering with
the gasoline stove while he was out Of
the room, and not knowing how to
operate it, had allowed the oil to run
over the floor of the room. When wit
ness struck match to light the stove
the explosion occurred. Witness tes-
titled that he had inhaled some of the
fame. but said, by some peculiar cir
cumstance, a mustache, which he wore
at the time, had not been singed.
Robert Seeger was called to give eX-
pert testimony on the explosive prop
critics Of gasoline, to show, on the part
Of the defense, that the quantity of the
oil alleged by the prosecution to have
been sprinkled about the house, would
have caused a loud explosion when
ignited.
Several witnesses were called to tes-
tify that the reputation Of Aschmidt
for truth was bad
Charles and Frank Schropfer, who
live near the harvester works, were
called. Charles Schropfer testified that
Saturday, before the Sunday when the
fire occurred, he met Aschmidt as he
was going home from buying groceries.
Aschmidt secured of him a two-gal-
lon jug of kerosene and had intimated
that something might happen. Frank
Schropfer testified that Aschmidt re-
marked to him that he would fix Grief
endorff. Two weeks after they met
Aschmidt in about the same place, and
he had put a couple of robes in their
wagon and some spoons with the re-
mark that that was all he had left, and
charged them that they should not
speak Of his having the kerosene.
