CONRAD KRATZ DISAPPEARS
AND LEAVES NO TRACE.

II the earth had opened aud swallowed
him. Conrad Kratz of No. 3tl3 Gravois ave
niie could not have disappeared more com
pletely CT mySteriously than he did last
Monday afternoon. Although the police. his
employers. and his relatives have sought
him high and low they have not obtained
the slightest clew TO his whereabouts. or
EVEN to the nature of his disappearance.
There are circumstances which suggest
foul play wil!ful absence. and accident and
other circumstances equally strong. which
tallN contradict all three of tn. Sc theories.
After six days OF anxiety and hard work.
lhe SearcherS nre exactly at the starting
point-whi"h means that they have not
learned one thing that throws the fanteSt
ray of light on the mystery.

Mrs. kratz SAYS the baby was her hus-
bands idol and that he spent all his leisure
hours at HON. in order to play with him.
She says there was never any trouble be-
tween her and her husband and that there
Is ITO other woman In the case.
I\ratz went home 10 dinner at the usual
hour last Monday. and early in the after
noon started ont with a iwo-hors" team to

came alarmed ana went in search of him.

three years In the Klondike, in which time
he says that he acquired s15O.oo0 in money
and claims. passed through Union Station

The garment was made of the skins of
leopard seal. an exceedingly rare animal.
It was sewed with the thews of a caribou
and each button was tooth of a walrus.
The looped thongs, which served for button
holes. were made from the tails of white
muskrats. and were decorated with Indian
BEADS. ALI together, the garment was at
once the strangest and the most valuable
that mas been seen about Union Station for
many day. Ao,
Mr.. Bowman was once machinist I'm tha

CONDITION OF CROPS
In Becker County, Eastern Clay and
Northern otter Tail Counties.
Pelican Lake, Aug. 13, 10,

Pelican Lake, Aug 13, 1900.
Editor Globe.
Harvest is over, and a sorry one it
was. When man has to cut all day to
get 40 or so shocks of wheat and weeds
it is very discouraging.
On clay soil and on timber land the
crop was very fair and in some places
very good. But on the prairie and in
places where the soil was sandy it was a
fright. There were hundreds of acres
that were not cut.
Last year I cut piece of new land,
and it had over 70 shocks on it; this
year got 10 shocks on the same piece.
see the dailies put this state down
for 13h bushels of wheat per acre, but
If what have seen in Clay, Becker and
Otter Tail counties and heard from
other sources holds good in the state,
it is one of the biggest frauds ever per-
petrated on the farmers.
And now, on top of all this, we have
had during the past week, some of the
stormiest and most unfavorable wealth
er I have seen for many a day. The
country was flooded with water and the
grain we have worked to hard to save
| is molding and rotting. The straw was
so short and full of weeds that the rain
went clear through the stacks. There
were thousands of acres cut with the
mower and raked up, and much was
| thrown off loose from the harvesters
being too short to bind, and that is g
total loss. What have seen from here
| to Detroit is just aso black as manure
j There will be lots of shock wheat thai
will do for feed only and will not bt
fit for market. Some Of the farmers are
taking the shocks apart to dry ant
many shocks are white with mold clca1
through The straw that we tried tt
save for the stock is all ruined. I gen
orally had my barn full OF hay by thi'
time. but this year have not hand
full.
We see the nabobs Of Washingto,
sent a man up here to inspect our crops
and to see II the farmers were telling
lies about poor crops. Hence the Min
neapolts Journal comes out and tell
