30 to 93 cents. according to its quality.
This, up to that day, was the highest price

With this he seized the woman by the
hair and threw her on the broken-down
sofa which rested against the wall. He
drew the rcvolvers from his pocket, seized
them by the barrels, and began to ham

struck her with all his power repeatedly.
Blood poured down her face and splashed
against the walls.
The man seemed TO be seized with de-

woman by the hair and began dragging
her across the floor. Then he dropped her
on the floor and began to search the little

He then hit her again and knocked her

Crop Throughout the Northwest Suf
fers Great Damage.


Estimates as to the wheat yield in the
Northwest grow smaile- every day. A
month ago it was predicted that the yield
would amount to 200,000.0O0 bushels.
while now the most sanguna say t. will
not be over 140,00o.0UD. Many others
place it at Il much smaller figure. The
crop will be the smallest for years. Re
ports received in Duluth are more dis.
couraging every day. 'rhe acreage was
very large. but thousands of acres have
been drowned out. Instead of twenty
bushels TO the acre, rs was figured a
month ago, the yield will not average over
from ten TO twelve bushels to the acre i'm
most sections. Rust and smut are also
appearing all over the wlcat country and
over 30 per cent of the wheat cut so far
has failed to grade anywhere near the
best On high lands wheat will probably
be of fair quality, but on low lanls what
little there is of ii will not grade ut al.

WEYLER GIVES 1T UP.

McrCiless Spanish Commander in =
Chief Resigns His Office.
The Havana correspondent of the New

seems to be the best authority that Cap
tain General Weylcr has sent his resigna-
ton to Madrid. This report is generally
believed TO be true. There is no doubt
that the resignation of Gen. Weyler is
due to the assassination of Senor Cano-
vas del Castillo, the premier of Spain,
through whose personal wishes Captain
General Weyler was retained in Cuba.
The report Of Gen. Weyler's resignation
is a cause for satisfaction among Cuban

CRIMINAL CARELEssNEss.
Two Shasta Men Arrested for Fir
ing the Woods.

Jasper Galpin and Lee butcher were
brought before United States Judge De
Haven on Saturday, charged with
starting forest fires in Shasta County.
The two men were arrested near Cas-
tella by Deputy Marshal Moffat They
are charged with causing the fire that
menaced Castle Crags last June.
Both are commonplace looking men
who have been squatting on Govern
ment land in that region. They lived
in a cabin and hunted and fished most
of their time, clearing a little ground
and raising some small crops. The fire
they started and for which they are
indicted is not alleged to have been
started purposely or maliciously
They were burning brush from the
land they had cleared and carelessly
allowed it to spread. This, under the
statute, is an indictable offense, the law
requiring all persons who build fires in
Government forest reservations for any
purpose to extinguish them as soon as
their purpose is accomplished.
These indictments and arrests are the
first move of the Government in the eff
forts inaugurated by Commissioner
Binger Hermann to put an end to de-
structive forest fires.
Galpin and butcher will be arraigned
next Wednesday,
