Secretary's Annual Report.
Special to the Globe.
HURON, S. D. May 16-The report
of Harvey J. Rice, Of this city, as
grand secretary South Dakota Grand
Lodge, I. o. o. F., to that body, which
holds its twenty-second annual meet
ing in Aberdeen on Tuesday, May 10,
is an interesting document. There are
in this state ninety-five subordinate
lodges, with a membership of 3,771;
three new lodges were instituted dur
ing the year, one at Hermosa one at
Wilmot and one at White During the
year thirty-6ve members have died.
The total number of weeks for which
benefits were paid is 1,251 amounting
to $4,584; amount paid for hurying de-
ceased members, 81, STA; paid for special
relief, for which the order is not obi
gated, $1,555, making a total paid out
for relief the past year $7,759. This is
a remarkable showing, considering the
stringency of the times. There are
fifty Rebekah lodges in the state, hav-
ing a total membership of l $50; during
the year seventeen lodges were institute
ed and eleven members died. Both the
I. O. o. F. and Rebekah organizations
are in excellent condition. At the last
session of the grand lodge a movement
was inaugurated looking to the estab-
lishment of a home for old and indi-
gent Odd Fellows and the orphan chill
dren Of members Of the order A
board Of trustees was chosen; recon-
mendation made that all lodges so dis

small one, but If there is time Of the
year for the stock to run down 1t Is certainly
in the spring, when lake navigation invites
shipment and tho approach Of q new harvest
suggests cleaning out Of bins. The ex-
istence Of all the premiums, May over July
ana July over September, is nothing more
than sign that an old order Of things has
been succeeded by new; that the over
production and the excessive stocks, which
made anything but short selling for years
Improbable, are to be followed by harvests
requiring some economy in consumption, and
stocks small enough to make the market two
sided.
No campaigning is going on in the pit.
There are long lines which are being stuck to,
but there is not bull in the field who is
working very hard to convert the trade to
his way Of thinking or to force prices in his
direction, There is not single short line of
any great proportions. The bears expect
the attention Of the trade within the next
few weeks to be diverted from the very
bullish situation West and Southwest, which
has been discussed until not much new can
be said Of 1t, to the very favorable state OF
affairs in the Northwest, and which is as
yet new topic.

aUARTErTE OF BURGLARS.
officers Think They Have Four OF a
Daring Gang.

Daring Gang.
The members of the police force had
a load of care lifted from their heads
last night. for they had in custody
three men and a woman VINO are
said to be the crooks who nave
been giving the residents and business
men of South Minneapolis so much I'M
easiness of late by the numerous hous-
es and stores entered. All but one OF
the men are known to the police, and
if is believed that another good catch
has been made.
The first arrest was made by officer
James Novack early Sunday morning,
who observed three men stealthlly
creeping through an alley in the rear
of Wyman. Partridge Co.'S ware
house on Second street south one OF
the trio had a ladder, but when the
officer was spied they hastily beat their
retreat. The patrolman soon after cap
tured the man who had the ladder, and
he also had a loaded gun on his per-
son. He was locked up on the charge
- of Vagrancy, and afterwards was rec
ognized by Inspector Lawrence as Al
fred Lund. who was arrested In De
cember, 1894 for burglary by inspectors
Stavlo and Hankinson, having robbed
a South Minneapolis clothing store. He
received reformatory sentence and
has been around the city for several
months past. Lund at first denied this,
but had no alternative but to admit
his identity when shown his picture,
which adornS the rogueS' gallery at po-
lice headquarters. The charge against
him was yesterday changed to bur-
glary.
All night the police watched for
Iunds partners. and yesterday morn
ing Capt. Ness and Officer Metzger. OF
the Third precinct, received a tip"
and, as a result, arrested Sam Berg
and George Wilson at their room in
lodging house at 121 Nicollet avenue.
They were charged with Vagrancy.
Later in the day Inspectors Morrisey
and Stavlo rounded up Maud Golden,
alleged to be fence and charged
her also with vagrancy. The pollce
know the woman we'll, Inspector Nor
risey having arrested her eleven years
ago for being a fence" for the David
son gang on First street north.
Berg is not a stranger in Minneapolis
circles. Two years ago he was corral
led by Inspectors Morrisey and Court
ney on the charge of burglary and was
given a reformatory sentence. He IS
known as a saloon rObber, having en-
tered ten saloons at that time. wilson
claims to be stranger here, and says
he comes from Elk River, although he
could not answer questions as to peo-
pie at that village The detectives do
not know him, but think he has re-
Gently come from the reform school
and fallen into bad company. Lund
has been out of the reformatory but
short time.
The list of places alleged to have
been entered and robbed by this gang
is a long one and embraces number
Of stores on Nicollet avenue, as well as
numerous stores and saloons on Cedar
avenue and several residences and gro
Gerry stores in other portions of South
Minneapolis. The inspectors have been
looking for Lund and Berg for some
time, suspecting the latter as he has a
reputation for breaking into saloons
The charges of vagrancy against Berg
and Wilson will probably be changed
to that of burglary.

CHICAGO, May 16.-The Times Herald, in

nervous one is making money out Of it.
The bulls were discouraged last week at the
way Liverpool acted, but they had no sooner
let go than they were made to repent their
action by large purchases for export by the
Englishmen, whose markets had been acting
so weak. The ordinary. Spectator Is kept
vacillating between the bullish statistics and

other than wheat and the, disappointing clear

as much as the ordinary, because he found
that his doubling up methods have invariably
cost him whatever profit he happened to
get at the start. The only Spectator who
had any luck is the one who has shut his
eyes to arguments, who has stee!ed h11set
against all the pit signs, and who has bought
wheat on the break and taken promptly mod
crate profits. There are some believers In
wheat manipulation. They continually talk
that some mysterious interest is working
the crowd. There is no excuse for this.

When work began on the drives month
ago it was expected that all would get in on
the spring water without any trouble owing
to the abundance Of water in all streams,
but indications are that number of drives
will not get in until late in the season, ow-
lng to a rapid fall of water in all streams trib-
utary to the st. Croix.
Log sales have been light thus far this
spring. but all lumber dealers in this city

the summer months.

Judge johnson Will Begin His Du-
ties With u Calendar Filled.
Judge Johnson will take his seat on the
bench this morning in the district court and
again the judges will begin striving to get
the better of the calendar, which Is now a
long way in arrears.
The new judge and the clerk of courts
met in the chambers of Judge Johnson Sat
urday and had talk over matters to come
up. 1t was shown that the court calendar
over which Judge Johnson will preside is
twenty-one cases behind, while the jury cal
endar is now filled with twenty-five back
cases, which will be called today. Judge
johnson will get right down to work and dis
pose of the court cases rapidly as pos
sible in order to have the calendar completed
before the summer vacation begins.
The outlook, however, is that it will be i'm
possible to catch up, and that several cases
will have to go over the term.
The tax cases especially cumber the court
calendar, but Assistant County Attorney
Smith states that he is ready to push them
right along. and promises to get the county S
civil calendar clean on the books before va
cation. If he does, it will be the first time
In many years that such condition Of things
has existed.

LONDON FINANCIAL.

In Stocks Better.
LONDON, May 16.-The tone Of the stock
exchange has greatly improved and the re-
vival of business is extending into all the
markets. The rise is largely due to the
more pacific aspect of affairs in South Africa,
while the apparent end Of the Eastern war
has brought host of buyers who anxious
to get in at the present low prices, though
the resumption Of hostilities caused a slight
setback.
There is an active demand in gold for the
continent, but large shipments on the
way from Australia and Africa, and money
rates continue low. All foreign stocks show
better figures. Greeks are rising on the gen.
eral belief that Greek finances will be placed
under European control.
Argentines, Brazilians and Peruvians all
show q considerable rise, and Americans
Joined in the activity in the early part of
last week, though they fell off again some
what on news of the revival Of the tension
with Spain over Cuba. There have been large
purchases in Norfolk & Western, which
continues to advance. The remainder of the
American list has shown little change, but
when there has been any it has been for the
better. There has been an active demand
for London dock shares on the strength Of
increased business.

SWALLOWED DIAMONDS.
An Africans Strange Attempt to
Steal Precious Stones

Native workmen are employed in the
diamond mines of Kimberley, South
Africa, says the Philadelphia Record
They are closely guarded, carefully
housed and fed, and have number OF
amusements maintained for their espe-
cial benefit. They are kept, therefore,
from any great temptation of stealing
the precious stones, but at times they
resort to all sorts of tricks to conceal
the diamonds. Only recently COM
pounded native was suspected of hav-
ing swallowed valuable diamonds. The
native was carefully watched, and the
result was that ten diamonds, weigh
ing $50 carats and valued at So, $50 were
recovered by the officials. On another
occasion a convict was incapacitated

was believed, while engaged in break

There was the strongest family
affection. Husbands remained attach

our French friend did not think possible
until he went on his Greek tour. He
explains it thus: The Greek for CEN
turtles showed his contempt for the
polygamous Turk in being strictly the
husband Of one wife. Islam appeared
to him sink Of sensuality. This was
another reason for subjecting the body
to the rigorous discipline of the Greek
church. The Russians have the same
long and severe fasts and nocturnal
prayers, but are much too fond Of
vodki.
A clear warm climate doubtless helps
to make the Greeks the most sober
people in Europe. They are also for
tunate in having no newly-rich, no
aristocrats, no beggars. One sees in
Greece only shepherds, tillers of the
ground, artisans, sailors, traders and
professional men. The traders who
stay at home are few. Two-thirds Of
the population make their living out of
