NO INCREASE IN PRICE.
Sugar VIII Not Go Skyward During the
Canning Season.
Minneapolis Journal

Minneapolis Journal:
Large receipts, Dutch and Ameri-
can, have stopped talk of advance in
sugar price for time, which will be
good news to the consumer, the DERRY
season. being at hand. The imports
of foreign sugar amount to twice what
they did year ago. The American
Sugar Refining company, "the trust, -
is said to have made an effort to stop
the imports by making a low price to
the importers. The importers in turn
undersold the wholesale grocers and
the eastern grocerymen kicked. When
President Havemeyer of the trust re-
turned from Europe he cut the i'm
porters off from American supplies and
foreign sugar is coming so fast now
that it bids fair to become an import
ant factor in the American market.
None of the imported sugar, so far
as can be learned, has reached Mime
apolis yet, but continuation of the
sugar war is likely to bring it. 1t is
the opinion of many of the brokers
and wholesalers that sugar will be
cheaper during the canning season this
year than last. unless the demand is
far greater than that of year ago.

TRUMAN POISONING CASE
The Three Ladies are Recovering =.
Several Others Were Affected,

Fairmont Sentinel: AS predicted
in out latest dispatches Tuesday the
three ladies who were so mysteriously
poisoned at Truman are each and all
on the road to recovery. There was a
time last evening when all hope was
abandoned as to two but they rallied
under powerful stimulants and are now
considered out of danger, although very
sick.
There has been no clearing up of the
mystery as to the cause of the ter
rible affair 1t appears that several be-
sides the three ladies were mildly
affected with symptoms similar to
those of the victims, but whether it
was out of sympathy or by reason of
some poisonous effiuvium they inhaled
cannot be ascertained. The suspicion
that any person purposely perpetrated
the deed is disappearing and the wild
and ridiculous rumor at first freely
circulated that the ladies attempted
self destruction has also run its slam
derous course. That the whole truth
of the sad affair will some day be
known there can be little doubt.

THE BUTTER TEST.
The Score is Much Improved Over Lss
Month.

Dairy Commissioner Mcconnell is
justly proud of the butter test system
which he recently inaugurated and
from the large increase of samples sub
mitted, it seems that the new depar-
ture is being received with much
favor by the creamery interests. The
May test consisted of 1870 sample tubs
while the June test had 1S1 samples of
butter. The score is also higher show
ing that the buttermakers are deter
mined to get the best possible results
The test this month resulted as fol-
lows:
First-W. J. Hendrickson, Kokato,
971s.
Second-W. q. Lawton, Geneva,
974.
Third-W. Lund, Forest City, 81.
In the cheese contest there were 16
samples submitted against 10 last
month The first prize went to J. W.
Parker of Stanton, on score of 961a,
and the second prize to Jacob Lehnher,
of Mantorville, on score OF SO.

fist church elected it pastor and Mrs.

CROP CONDITIONS.
'hfss Are NOT as FavOrabl as They
Should be at This SCISSOR

Winona Republican and Herald:
The crop conditions at the close of
last week were not so favorable as they
have been for some time and the far
mers as we'll as the grain men through
out South and North Dakota are much
worried over the condition that now
exists.
In many portions of both these
states there has not been any moisture
to speak of this spring and now the
crops are beginning to suffer. An I'M
usually large acreage of fax was plant
ed and it looks as though much dam
age will be done if rain does not come
in very short time. In Minnesota the
condition is some what better as good
rain fell all over the Chicago & North
western territory west of Winona and
the crops are not suffering in conse-
quence.
General Agent A. G. johnson stated
that although the condition is favor
able as compared to past years that il
is evident that poor seed was sown this
spring for with all the rain and the
favorable weather of the past month
the growth of the grain has not been
what it should be in southern Mime
sofa. A very large increase in the
acreage of fax has been planted In
Minnesota, and it is being watched
closely, as every indication points to|
that cereal being in good demand this
fall and prices will be high.
There has been no damaging frosts;
despite the cold nights which have
been SO frequent of late and the fruitI
and berries nave not suffered to much
extent
A general summary of the reportsI
received at the general Office of the;
Chicago & North Western from all
points as far west as Oaks, N. D.. I
shows the condition of crops is such
that little unfavorable weather will
make much difference in the general
result, and those interested in the fall
crop are watching the growing grain
with an anxious eye.

Evidently intended to Suicide.
Chicago, June 4.--Edward Forshay
OF ht.n2ets City, All actor 1nd assistant
lnaAt~oCI Vi Theatrical COMpdnleS, shot
and Killed Miss Edna Stokes, an &C
tres whose home is at Sedalia, Mo-,
WITH whom he was deeply in love.
t'olsliay claims to have met Miss
Stokes in st. Louis six years ago,
when they were both playing an en-
gagement. The couple played in diff
ferent cities of the country until last
fall, when they came to Chicago and
pany playing at the Victoria theater.
Forshay evidently intended to take
his life after killing the woman, for
upon his person when he was arrested
were letters bidding farewell to his
mother, Mrs. ]. M. Forshay, 1928
Broadway, Kansas City, Mo-, and an
other to Chief of Police O'Neill of
this city.
The couple had engaged in a des-
perate quarrel three days ago and
Forshay is said to have beaten the &C
tress badly, cutting her head in two
places. Miss Stokes gave orders to
the proprietor of the Vernon hotel,
at which she was stopping, that For
shay should not be admitted to her
presence, and although he called
there twice during the early part of
the evening he was compelled to leave
by the attendants. Later he called
and the proprietor told him that he
could wait in the parlor, where Miss
Stokes would see him. She came
down from her room and the couple
talked for about 10 minutes when
Forshay suddenly drew revolver
| and fired two shots, one passing
| through the right lung and the other
close to the heart. She died almost
| instantly.
After killing the woman Forshay
ran from the building and was closely
followed by James Helm, and Will
lam Kennedy. the porter of the hotel.
After pursuing him a short distance

the police station Forshay said that
he intended to kill himself as he could
not live without Miss Stokes love,
but that his nerve failed at the last
minute.

Forshay claims that he has been
