most progressive commands in the coun-

Less Wheat Oh Hand,

ID Minneapolis Tribune: The numer-

headquarters in Minneapolis have
been comparing notes as to the
Northwestern wheat crop, and these
are their deductions: The last crop
of Minnesota and the two DakOtas
was about lis 1000, 900 bushels, while
"a, OOO, 900 was carried over from last
year. making u total supply avail
able Aug. !, 135,OOO,0OO bushels.
Some 55,O00,O 900 bushels have been
marketed at Minneapolis and Su-
perior-Duluth; the farmers will
require $4,000, 900 bushels for seed,
etc; outside mills will grind $4,000, 900
bushels, while there are 10000 600
bosl,els in country elevators. OF the

Cut Larger and Wages Higher.

DULUTn, Mimi, Nov. 17.-Large
numbers Of woodstnen have been
shipped during the past ten days
through Duluth from the Twin cities.
and out over the Duluth & Winnipeg
road into the country at the head
waters OF the Mississippi. The
wages paid woodsmen has risen
somewhat since election. Before
that, $40 or less was the average;
now it runs from $l3 upward. =
The lumber cut will be larger than
was expected in this district, and
may run to so per cent OF that OF
last year. David Dobie, who is
cutting for the Weyerhaeuser syndi-
cate in the vicinity Oi White Birch,
expects to turn out about $4,000, 900
instead of 81, O00, GOO, as at first con-
templated. The Musser-Sauntry
company also expects to put in a
few more camps. On the Mesaba
range also there will be more cut
than was expected. The early snow
has not pleased the IOggers very
much. There is about foot IN
most OF the woods. and in many
places the swamps have been covered
before freezing up. and are therefore
protected. This may necessitate
building ice roads in many places.

HE WAS DlscHAR GED.
Chas. Gazing, Charged With
Wife Beating, Was Acquit-
ted Last Evening.

II Chas. GakinR. the Buchanan town
man. who was Hrrested Thursday
on a charge Oi assault and battery
by his wife. was given y
hearing before Justice Sha w Fri
day afternoon and was discharged.
The important witnesses III the
case were two children, one the IA
year-old son Of the warning couple.
and the other the young daughter Of
one Of their neighbOrs.. }
1t appears that the domestic rela-
tlons of the Gaking's have been in a
strained and somewhat disturbed
condition for some time and they
have been living apart.
At the time the alleged assn ult
was committed Gaking had called
at the house where his wife was for
some article. and according to her
story he struck her with a bolt OF
cloth. k
9, Both the children testified to being
present when Gaking W as at the house
and contradicted the statementsOf
Mrs. Gsking, saying that Mr.. Gakfng
did not strike her nor in any way
attempt al assault. .@'
This in not the first time that the
Gaking's have been in court. Some
time ago Gaking was arrested on
similar charge, and it was an easy
matte to prove it, for Mrs, Gaking
was badly beaten up. ~.
She evidently thought that her
husbands reputation as a wife
beaten would convict him again.
There is no doubt but the situation
of affairs in the Gakine household IL
deplorahle. Mrs. Gaking's health is
very poor, and she claims, AMI there
is no doubt but that she has good
grounds for her claims, that her i'll
health is largely, II not wholly, due
to bea tings administered by, her hus-.
band and by the worry he has
caused her. ~
She claims that besides his r.any
other faults he is unfaithful, and
charges undue intimacy with the
wife of one of his neighbours. Another
evidence that matters are not as
thew should be with the Gaking's il
that their14-year-Old son can neither
read or write. ~
81 The situation is certainly an UNI
happy one, and we have but little
doubt that either would be better
off without the other. Ii
