Long Prairie Leader: The mer-
chants OF Eagle Bend have gone into
buying wheat again. They have to
do it nearly every tall to keep the
price up where it belongs. So far
this fall there has only been one
buyer in the field and he has been
figuring on big profits for his COM
pany, by buying on a accent margin
while at other places the margin has
only been 10 or IL cents. Naturally,
the wheat around Eagle Bend went
to other points. The merchants up
there have now stopped this bv put
ting L. g. Pendergast in the field to
buy on a 10-cent margin and it will
result in turning the flow Of wheat

WHO Is RESPONSIBLE2
City is Paying Pauper Bills
For Which 1t Is Not
Liable.

The body Of Andrew Ohre, whose
death occurred ut st. Gabriel's hospi-
tai Friday night from CANCER still
lies in Hartinx & Sons mClgue. for
the reason that it has not vet been
ascertained which community ia re-
spnnsible for the burial expense.
Ohre came here from Parker Town
several months ago and has been at
the hospital every since. The town
of Parker claims that he had no
residence there anu that it Is not
liable for funeral expenses, and 1t
now looks AZ II this city would have
to stand the expense, for the county
have heretofore re-
fused to pay any bills OF this nature.
This is not the first time that bills OF
this kind have been saddled on to
tho city, when It was lii no way re-
spons,ble for them and should not be
compelled to pay them. Parties
have been brought In from different
towns of the county, aud after their
death the towns from which they
came would refuse to pay the funeral
expenses, the county commissioners
would do likewise, and the city
would be put to considerable ex-
pense for which it was not RESPONSE
bic. Under the present system Of
each town taking care Of it's pa upers
the city ia getting the worst Of 1t. II
someone in the outside towns Is
taken III, he cun be sent to the hOspi-
tai here, and unless 1t can be proven
that he IL a resident Of the town
from which he came, the city IL COM
PEELED to puy sometimes not only
the funeral expenses, but large doc
tor bills. Harting & Son has been
waiting to see who was responsible
for the expense, and II it ia not de-
cided today the health officer will be
called and he will undoubtedly order
the uody buried at the expense Of
the city.
Ohre had been q sufferer for some
time FROM cancer, and about three
monthe ago under " cDt an opera ton
for its cure and his entire lower jaw
was removed. Even this did not
save his life, as the terrible disease
spread to his throat resulting III his
death Friday. Ohre was penniless
and 80 far as known here, has no
relatives in this country.

Mckenna Of Princeton.

(. Little Falls parties have received a
IL, ter from a resident Of PrincetO on,
Minn.. making inquiries concerning
one j. p. McKenna. who condnc ted
dye works III this city several
months during the spring and early
part of the summer. McKenna left
here several months ago. claiming to
be called way by the serious illness
of his father. He exhibited tele-
gram stating that his father was
dying. McKenna claimed that his
father lived near Faribanlt, an said
when he left that he would return In
a few days, and he left several I'M
paid bills behind him. The writer
states that. Mckenna has neglected
his wife and child who were with him
at Princeton. When here 1t was not
known that McKenna was married
man. 1t Ia supposed that the wo-
man referred to as McKeDna's wife
was a young girl ri this city, in
whose company McKenna was in
much III the time during his stay
here. She left this city shortly after
NcKenna's departure and has not
returned.

The Minneapolis Tribune publishes
a ra Their eensa tional article regard

show that the seasons wheat supply

shipments this fall that there will
not be enough wheat left in Mime.
sofa and the DakOtas next spring to
supply the flour mills with grain,
and that the Minneapolis flour mills
will have to shut down next season.
The Tribune figures out that there
was 40, 0ut), 600 less bushels of wheat
in the Northwest before the harvest
this year than there was last, and
that this crop is u, 600, 900 larger than
last years crop. Therefore, the
available supply at the oDening OF
opening of this season was 25.NO0,.
600 less than in 1896. Shipments
have been as large. and promise to
COHIluuc uCdNys HC MlHuctApOlic
mills grind about &C, NOO, 600 bushels a
year, and tho conclusion drawn in
the article is that wheat cannot be
found tnext summer for the mills.
The Tribune is not inclined to adj
vcrtise the probability that one OF
the leading industries of the city will
be crippled next year. and it must be
the intention OF the paper to lead
farmers to believe that wheat will
be in great demand in Minnesota
next year. 1t certainly would be a
disadvantage to the flour mills of
Minnesota to have all the wheat
shipped East in the fall and winter,
and 1t is to tho advantage to have
farmers retain q good share of the
grain for marketing later in the sea-
son. The same general conditions
also make it advisable for the
farmers to retain part OF their
wheat. A farmer who is In debt
badly is not warranted in keeping
his wheat, paying interest and other
but II he is financially able
to do 50, he will seldom lose by
part of his wheat till late
In tho winter or spring.

MERCHANTS ARE ACTIVE.
They Will Form An .Associ-
@ alton and Force up Wheat
u Prices.

The merchants Of the city express
q determination to enter the wheat
market and force up the price Of
wheat ut this place to meet che quo
tations of all competitive points.
@ TO this end u meeting Of the mer-
chants has been called for 1870 this
evening at the city hall.
This meeting Ia for the purpose Of
organizing an association and ar
ranging plans for future action. AL
though their facilities for handling
wheat are not yet perfected, the
merchants are IN the market today
for wheat, and are paving 81 cents
Local buyers can have wheat AT
that price II they want IT, and II no,
the merchants will take 1t.
Chas. Gravel took exceptions to
the Transcript'ssta tement Saturday
that ROyaltOn paid - cents while
Little Falls paid 50. The Transcript
was informed by telephone from
Mark Murphy, who is said to be
paying as high as any buyer in Roy
alton. and that was the figure he
gave. Gravel claims to have heard
from q hOtelkeeper ut RoyaltOn that
the price was 70, so it can easily be
seen that the transcripts informa'
ton was at least from as reliable q
source as Mr.. Grayel's.
Speaking about the wheat sttua'
ton Mr.. Tanner stated that he was
going IT, pay all that he could with.
out losing money, but would not
pay several cents above market
prices Just to create business for the
merchants.
The Globe Milling company is pay.
ing 50 cents today, as ia also Mr..
Tanner. The Globe Milling com
.pany takes practically the same
position as does Mr.. Tanner. They
stated that they were paying SO
cents today, aad If the merchants
wanted to pay 81 they could do so.
but they would not.
The merchants while organizing to
advance the price OF wheat, do not,
they say, intend to run the price
above market quotations. They
will pay the Minneapolis price, less
the freight rate and one cent per
bushel for handling 1t.
However, all our citizens will he
glad to see the wheat come to this
market, and the merchants seem
determined that II good prices can
bring it here they will pay them.
The merchants are the ones mostly
benefited by the wheat coming here,
and 1t is to their interests to see that
the price Is kept up, which they will
undoubtedly do as soon as their
plans for handling wheat are put In
full operation.
