ENTERPRISE.
A. S. Capehart In Addition TO His
Salary Made Good tt:no
At Paris.
Paris Exposition Reports Sold at
-Four Times Their Actual
Cost
No Law Against Such Proceedings
But it Will Be In
vestigated.

Washington, June 20. minneapolis
Journal speciaD.- There is likely to be
an interesting story connected with
the preparation Of the report of the
Paris Exposition commission. The
story centers about A. S. Capehart of
South Dakota and Paris, one of the
highest salaried officials Of the COM
mission, receiving S40O per month,
who has entered upon scheme,
which, while legal in the strict sense
of the word, is sure to arouse bitter
and biting criticism in congress next
winter and perhaps end in an investi-
cation.
Mr.. Capehart'S scheme requires the
public to buy the governments publ
cation of the report Of the Paris COM
mission at more than four times its
actual cost, and the big rake off goes
into his own pocket. This would not
be more than mere business extOrtion
if Mr.. Capehart were not the editor
and compiler of the report which he
offers to sell. 1t is understood he is
still drawing his S40O per month from
the government. In business circu-
lar sent broadcast apparently to eXhib-
itors at the Paris exposition, Mr..
Capehart offers to sell full sets of the
report Of the Paris exposition at $40
per set.
Congress ordered the report printed.
but not for general distribution. The.
volumes in each set will not cost Cape
hart, it is said over $3.50, and all other
expenses will not exceed S. set. 1t
should be said in justice to Mr.. Cape
hart that he has made no attempt to
misrepresent the situation. He ad-
vertiseS j t as ''a private enterprise. y
though he manages to at1iX Tie Official
seal to the transaction by saying:
Having served as d member of the
committee which compiled this report
and as its editor, it would be inappro-
pirate for me to comment upon its
merits as publications.
There is no law preventing the sale
Of government publications. Any cab
met officer could order extra copies Of
his annual report and sell them to the
public, but this has never been done,
as it has never been thought proper
for government official to attempt
to sell report he was paid to write
Mr.. Capehart was at one time in the
newspaper business in Minneapolis
and Fargo. More recently he has
been engaged in ranching in North
Dakota. He was private secretary to
Governor Burke.

Stock Iaspection Law.

Senator Simpson of Dickinson writes
the following regarding the act con-
corning the inspection of live stock
before shipment:
1.-The law only applies in counties
where the commissioners upon being
petitioned SO to do by ten per cent. Of
the voters of their county, act on that
petition, and appoint the sheriff as
stock inspector. The law is not need
ed in the Red River Valley and does
not apply there. That the county
commissioners of all of the western
counties in the state have deemed it a
good thing is evidenced by the fact
that in every western county they
have complied with the law and ap-
pointed the sheriff as inspector.
''Preyious to the enactment Of this
law it was a very common thing for
that class of people who indulged in
rustling cattle and horses, to drive
them to some small shipping station
and ship out by night train.
Permission is given under the law
to the stock inspector to issue per-
NIT without any fee attached, to per-
sons to drive stock from one county to
another within this state. This takes
away any hardships that might other
wise be imposed under the law

Contests W i'll.

Hearing in the will contt st institut-
ed by Mrs. Mary Steinbach of New
Rockford against legatees of the estate
ef anton LorenZ has been adjourned
by County Judge Bigelow to July 23-
Anton LurenZ resided north OF ,IameS-
town and died January 20, 1901 leaving
an estate valued at between $4,000 to
$4,000 In his will Lorenz left his
property 70 two Of his sons and one
daughter, ignoring Mrs. Steinbach.
She contests on the grounds that the
deceased was not in capacity to make
will, that he was unduly influenced
legatees and that the will was i'm
properly executed and witnessed.
1t may be possible that the suit will
be settled out OF court. James A.

Favorable Weather.

Bismarck, N. D., June 24.-The crop
report issued by the weather bureau
is as follows:
Conditions during the past week
have been very favorable for all crops
except flax, corn and millet. Heavy
showers have fallen in all parts Of the
state, thoroughly saturating the
ground, and in some places in the Red
River valley, where the land is low,
completely covering it. The tempera-
ture was Slightly below the normal
until the latter part Of the week,
when there was considerable of a
Use.
Wheat is doing finely; all reports
agree that it was never in more
promising condition at this time of
year. Other small grain, except flax
and millet, is also doing well, al
though some damage has been done
oats by cut worms. Flax is back
wards in all parts, is generally thin
and uneven, and in the eastern por-
tion looks sickly and yellow. Corn is

results north of Spiritwood station.

results north of Spiritwood station.
The big Craig farm was in the belt
and had the crops about ruined, as
near as can be judged at present. In
addition, the L was blown from the
house, the roof from the barn and the
wind mill was blown down. The loss
will be quite heavy and SO far as heard
there was no insurance. 1t was the
best stand of grain that the farm has
had for some years.
Among the other losses north OF
Spiritwood was the grain on the Leuck
farm. The roof OF Gasals granary was
blown off. Other lossers were Will
liam Thoms and the Pappsteins.
Peter Fried's loss was quite heavy and
the storm was the worst at that place.
1t is probable that about 10000
acres of grain were more or less dam
aged in this county by the hail and
wind of Monday morning. The hail
cut off the grain within three or four
inches Of the ground and washed the
stalks and leaves in drifts and in some
places the ground was washed clean Of
all signs Of crops. The amount OF
water that fell was very great as the
ponds and low places in the roads
show.
t. B. Young had two calves killed
by the huge hail stones.
H. NJ. Taber had partial loss on
500 acres of wheat near Parkhurst and
east of Jamestown. Also loss on $50
acres of flax. Contrary to his usual
practice Mr.. Taber had no insurance
as the season was early and no hail ex-
pected at this time OF year. Another
reason was that it was deemed wise to
wait if the crops promised well enough
to insure them. The experience of
former years has shown that a good
deal Of insurance money would never
have been spent had more time been
given to see the results OF weather

red the most destructive hail storm
that has ever visited Jamestown.
The storm came from the northwest.
Hailstones eight inches in diameter
and more, fell with terrific force.
Driven by fierce wind the hail broke
panes of glass in nearly all business
houses and residences in Jamestown
causing damage that will amount to
over $1,000.
Some residents opened doors and
windows to see what was going on.
A glance sutfced. The hail not only
broke windows but even penetrated
through the roofs of houses causing
holes of some dimensions. In the
postotfice block holes five inches in
diameter were made through the gall
vanized iron roof. A large stone
crashed shrough the roof of the Picard
residence in the Third ward and made
hugh hole.
The windows facing west Jared
worst. The business houses on theS
east side of Fifth avenue presented a
sorry appearance this morning. Plate
glass windows were shattered in num-
erous instances and scarcely pane of
glass in the smaller upper windows
was left intact on that side of the
avenue.
A list of the losers would include
the names of nearly all the property
owners of Jamestown. The opera
house block was left with scarcely a
window. Costly plate glass in the
block was shattered into many pieces
just as easily as the thinner and less
expensive kind.
Branches were broken from trees,
portions of roofs stripped off and
every conceivable kind of damage done
that was possible by hail.
A heavy rain accompanied the hail
storm and considerable damage re-
suited from the flooding Of stores and
apartments which followed the break
ing or the paneS OF glass.
Three miles west of the city there
was little or no hail but plenty of rain.
Only an occasional big stone would be
seen, and few windows are reported
damaged. The hail went in strips as
usual and jamestown was in the
midst of the heaviest.
At the asylum about $50 window
panes were broken and that was the
greatest extent Of the damage there.
The grain at the asylum farm was not
damaged by hail as the stones were
too large. The most loss will be from
standing water and that little. The
rain guage registered one and one
fourth inches last night.
At St. Johns Academy % large
panes of glass were broken.
The Alert Office had every pane on
the west sih- i the building smashed
to smithereens and couple on the
north side.
The Gladstone block looked as if it
had been through siege during a
military engagement. Out. OF 103
panes Of glass in the windows abOvel
the office door, s. were broken and five
of the large plate glass panes were also
smashed, including those in the Farm
ers and Merchants bank. There was
no insurance on the glass of any kind,
and the damage will be about $500 on
the block
All the street lamp globes were
broken and during the storm the
lights went out caused by the wires
getting tangled. The darkness was
only for a short time as the storm was
passing and daylight was at hand.

ACE TURNS HIM
FROM HIS QUEST
Peter Hite, Aged l04, Is Sent
Back Home From Wichita.
WAS HUNTING HIS TRIBE
Son of DR.. MOrdiCa, a ChoCtaw
and Slave Girl
WAS HUNTING HIS TRIBE

Peter Hite. 1o3 years old, yesterday
turned his face to the east and gave up
his quest in the west, that quest being
allotment in the Indian Territory,
his right because of his Choctaw blood.
He was too old to press his claim, and
having come this far, he turned back.
Hite left this city yesterday at 1870 p. m.
on the Frisco.
When the old man was helped on the
train Mr.. T. T. Daniels, commissioner of
the poor. stood near by. He had given
te old man and his wife, who is over 60
the old man and his wife, who is over 60
Mr.. Hite has a daughter living in this
city who is about the same age Of her
step-mother, being over 60 years of age
Peter Hite was born In the state Of
Maryland in March, 1898. His father was
DR.. Mordica, a fulI-blood Choctaw In
dian, his mothers master. his mother be-
ing a young slave girl. When he was
one year old he and his mother were
sold and taken to Kentucky, where he
lived until he was made free by the
proclamation of President Lincoln.
After he was freed he went to Mount
Vernon, Indiana. where no married his
second wife, who was with him in this
city. They saved their little earnings
and bought town lot and on it they
erected a little house, which they still
own.
Last June his daughter in this city wrote
to him and persuaded him that by coming
out here TO Wichita he could get an al
lotment in the Indian country that would
make them all rich He came to this city
with this end in view. but the trip made
him i'll and he was unable to go to the
Indian country and claim his rights, and
his daughter gave up the task of trying
to secure the allotment. Hite's face and
hair showed his Indian blood.
The old man said he did not want to
die here in this strange land, but wanted
to go back 10 his own home. Some of
the colored people presented the matter
to the overseer of the poor and he agreed
to furnish transportation to st. Louis.
The fratl old man was delighted with the
idea of getting that far on the way to his
old home.
Peter Hite does not claim to have seen
all the prominent men of the last century.
His memory IS all about his slave days
in Kentucky, for he remembers nothing
of Maryland only what his mother told
him
