A most peculiar case has recently
come up in a North Dakota court.
Some time ago man was tried for a

perjury.

MISSOURI WHEAT CROP.
Farmers from the "whest Belt Of
State" Claim That Il Will BE Small

Farmers from the "Wheat Belt Of the
State" Claim That It VIII Be Small
ST.. LOUIS, May 81. The wheat crop
In Missouri will be very short this sea-
son. Wheat raisers who have visited
the city within the past ten days all
agree that the crop will be very small,
and particularly so In what is known
as the wheat belt Of the state" This
comprises the Missouri river counties.
From present indications the best
crops will be raised in the more south
ern counties, and even there II Is said
the yield will fall below half crop.
The same authorities say there is less
old wheat now in the hands Of the
farmers than at any time during the
past four years. The advance in prices
caused the farmers to unload as rapid
ly as possible. The cause Of the par.
tial failure of this years crop is at.
tributed to dry weather last fall and
so much freezing and thawing Of the
ground during the open winter.

The oldest ofice-seeker in Washing
ton is said to be Col. George V. Law
renee, of Monongahela, Pa, who wants
to be district attorney for the western
district of Pennsylvania. He is so
years old, and for the last "a years has
been almost continuously in congress
or the legislature. When he first went
to the legislature, in 1S43, he drove the
2l0 miles from his home to Harrisburg
in a buggy, drawn by single horse.
Being reelected to the legislature in
1892, he expressed desire to make the
trip the same way, and the legislature
appropriated sufficient money to buy
him a horse, harness and buggy, and
he was received at every town on the
route with an walton. He has strong
recommendations for the position he
Is now seeking.

"A remarkable case exists in the vii

The eyes ore bright and clear and en-

REPUBLICANS WILL TRY IT
Senators Think rhey Are In Shape Il
Organize That Body.

Washington, April 9-The committee
representing respectively the Republican
and Democratic sides OF the senate re-
sumed their efforts today to reach an
agreement on basis of recognizing the
senate committees.
The Republicans have gone to work
with the serious intention of taking
charge of the committees. but they and
that in assuming this task there are
many delicate points 10 be settled.
The tariff is giving the managing COM
mittee and all the Republican senator's
more concern than any other factor in
the situation II is doubtful whether
they would attempt TO proceed but for
this bill. They fear, however. that II
they do not take the work in hand the

the Democrats having practically warn

the Republican side that any allotmen:

TOO BIG A CASE FOR 1T
Court at Toledo says the Supreme Court
Should Have II.

Toledo, O., April 9-In the Arbuckle-
Woolson injunction suit, tn ceuort today
overruled the plaintiffs motion for new
trial and granted fifty days in Which 10
file a bill of exceptions.
The common pleas court some time
since dissolved thei Injunction to restrain
the defendants from cutting prices on
coffee.
The court reviewed the facts and found
that in all probability the American SUI
gar and Refining company, or Sugar
Trust. bought the stock of the Woolson
company and did so for the purpose of
rataliating against the Arbuckles for al
tempting to enter the sugar business.
The court also finds that the company is
being run in the interest Of the Sugar
Trust and not for the benefit of the
Woolson company. and that the declines
in coffee were made for the purpose of
enforcing losses on Arbuckle Brothers.
and driving them out OF the Sugar bust
ness.
But the court holds that the plaintiffs
are not prosecuting the case in good
faith for the Woolson Spice cofpany, bu:
10 protect their great interests as Ar
buckle Brothers, coffee rOasters, and,
therefore, though an ordinary stockholm
er might have relief, the plaintiffs can
nos.
This decision, though IT affirms the de-
cree of Judge Morris of the common
pleas court, is placed on different
ground Judge Morris decided that the
plaintiffs had not made proof OF the
facts. The court now holds that they
havep roved the facts, but the law is
against them.
The question whether one corporation
may deliberately cut the price of its
product for the purpose, not Of benefit

or some Third person, is one which should

JAMESON SPOILED 1T ALL
Is About the Size OF the TransvaaI Raid
Investigation.

London, April 9.-The parliamentary
the Transvaal raid held its sixteenth sit
ting today. DR.. Jameson arrived with
Sir John Willoughby, the military COM
mander of the raid. The former was
again placed in the witness box.
DR.. Jameson, in the course of the pro-
'ceedings, Indignantly denied having told
the officers that ne had the queens gov
eminent at his back, remarking that il
would have bene idiotic in him, and alb
solutely untrue tosay so.
Sir John Willoughby, in telling his
story, said that he gathered from his
talks with DR.. Jameson that if he sue
ceeded in entering johannesburg, Lord
Rosemead Ghe governor Of Cape Colony
and a high commissioner from South
Africa would do the rest.
Major Heany, the American, was next
examined. He denied that the message

SENATORS AND THE TARIFF
Conflict of Interests an Element of Danger
in the Upper House.

Washington, April 9.-The Republican
senator's who are acting as suoD-com-
mittee Of the serate committee on nnance
in the preparation of the tariff bill are
inclined to postpone the date of the pres
entation Of the bill TO the senate little
beyond the limit originally fixed by them.
They express the opinion that it may be
two weeks from the present time before
it will be ir shape to be reported. Some
of them postpone the time until two
weeks from next Monday. The commit
tee is making very satisfactory progress
with the bill, and many of the schedules
have received final attention, among
them being chemicals and cotton. None
Of the more puzZling questions. however,
have been disposed Of. The committee
has deemed it wisest 10 leave the rates on
wool, sugar, hides, coal, lead ore, lumber
and all the other important subjects until
the simpler matters can De determined.
They take the position that they can set
tie the disputed points more satistactor-
lily after the other features of the bill!
are thoroughly digested and the probable
revenue determined. Many of the smaller
items accordingly have been determined
upon. While no detailed information can
be secured. it is understood that mary re-
auctions in duties have been made. The
disposition OF the committee is to make
a quite general reduction, but this is
found TO be a task not easy of accom-
plishment, because of the insistence OF
senators upon having the strongest pro-
lection of the articles in which they were
particularly interested. There are, in.
deed, many demands for increase and
some OF these are so pressing that the
members Of the committee are finding
themselves considerably embarrassed be-
tween their desire to satisfy senator's
whose vote vii be ESSENTIAL to the success
of the bill and their conviction that the
interests Of their constituents demand re-
auctions rather than increases.

Cashier c. E. Churchill and Vice Pres
ident A D. Averill, of the defunct Globe
Savings bank. OF Chicago, the stock of
which is largely owned in this state, was
10 great surprise TO the Nashua stock
holders. While no open charges Of GRIM
inal conduct have been made, there have
been many complaints of mismanage-
ment on the part of the bank officials,
and when, about two week ago, re-
quest that the stockholders contribute
an assessment of so per cent was made,
a committee Of two was appointed to
look into the banks affairs.
Among the holders Of stock in New
Hampshire are the Nashua Savings

however, are not as heavily involved as

not in the city, but in letter written to

GERMANY's KICK is REGISTERED
Dingley Tariff Bill Does Not Suit the
Fatherland at All.

Washington. April 9.-The state depart
ment continues to deny the reports that
the German government has submitted a
protest against tariff bill, but, whether
* has been received or not, it is known
definitely that such a protest has been
forwarded by the German ambassador,
Baron Won Thielmann. acting on cable
instructions from Berlin. These instruc-
lions were received early this week, and
the ambassador submitted the protest.
The protest follows the lire OF that of
August %. 1894, presented by Baron

examinations against sugar in the Wilson
