The Demand IL Greatly Exceeded by
the Supply
MOorhead, Minn., Aug. &. - The sup
ply Of help in the harvest fields will
exceed the demand, and, notwith-
standing that this fact has been pub
lishel In the metropolitan newspapers,
men continue to arrive here OH every
train. Along the river banks, on the
Minnesota side. as well as North Da-
kota, camps Of men can be seen. some
camps numbering thirty and forty
men, waiting for the harvest to COM
mence in earnest, when most of them
expect to obtain work. They appear
to live comfortably. the weather being
warm enough for them to sleep out
doors. The citizens have been liberal,
supplying the men with meat, bread,
etc. and for potatoes they raid the
patches and help themselves. and
willie they take what they want of the
latter and intict no injury on the re-
mainder no rcmonstrnncc is made. 1t
should be remembered, however. that
there is IL limit to even good thing,
and the late conlers may not fare as
well as those who have come some
what earlier. So far the men have
given little trouble, and in considera
ton of this. the citizens of Moorhead.
as well as Fargo, have felt disposed
to assist them in the way of giving
them something to eat at least.

not only the hottest day of the season,
but only once in the last five years

reached yesterday. In addition to this
the storm of Monday night broke all

fall and velocity of wind. At o'clock
yesterday morning the thermometer
registered 73 degrees, and from that
time the mercury gradually climbed
the glass until it reached the 100 mark

once in the last five years has st. Paul
had such hot weather, and that was
in July, 1894. Last evening the max

Naturalization Refused.

Washington, Aug. G-ln refusing to
grant naturalization papers to two
young Italians today, Judge Cole, of
the district supreme court, held that
no one who is in ignorance of the con-
stitution of the United States is COM
petent or entitled to become admitted
to citizenship. The young men ex-
planned that they had come to this
country before reaching their majority
and that they have ever since resided
here, but when questioned by the
judge they confessed they did not I'M
derstand the constitution and We're
even doubtful as to tho form of this
government. Judge Cole thereupon
decided them to be ineligible to citi-
zenship on the ground that they could
not swear to support something they
do not understand.

FIVE MILLIONS.
This Said to BE the Amount Of the
Moore Bros Lossea.


Moore Bros Losses
Chicago. Aug. Cit is said that the
Moore failure will aggregate between
$5,O0O,O0O aud $7,OOO,OOO. Such is the
sum mentioned by bank president
who has been in the confidence Of the
spectators during their daring and
dazzling reign. According to this au-
thOrity James H. Moore and William
III. Moore, his brother. held together
$5.5OO,OOO worth of Diamond Match
stock. A portion of this amount was
owned In fee before the speculative era
was bought Mt prices ranging between
$50 and 240. The Moore holdings
were q majority of the total stock is
