DIED

KNOTT at the state hospital at
Mendoza, Wis, Sunday morning.
July Is, 1901, Judson Knight, aged
II years.
The deceased was born at Malone,
N. Y, June 10, 1880. He came west
and settled in this vicinity about 1856.
His father, Norman Knight, was
local preacher OF the Methodist Epis-
copal church and preached for some
time at Hammond, St. Croix county.
Mr.. knight was carpenter and
worked at his trade in this locality be.
fore going to farming. Later he pur-
chased land in Clifton and opened
farm which had been the residence of
himself and family since. In 1882 Mr..
Knight married Miss Lucy w. Bland
OF st. Louis, Mo, who, with four OF
the five children born to them, sur
wives. He leaves also Of near relatives
two sisters, Mrs. G. L. Drake Of st
Louis, Mo, now here on visit, and
Mrs. s. p. Clark of Clifton. His only
brother, Charles A. Knight, died in
1874. On the twelfth of March last
the deceased suffered serious injury
to his head occasioned by a fall.
Since that time his mind had
been deranged and he rapidly
failed in health. AS Mr.. Knight was
growing worse his friends concluded
that it was best to place him under
the care of experts, and he was ac-
cordingly taken to Mendoza about
three weeks ago.
Mr.. knight was man OF unobtrus-
i've disposition, honorable and just in
his dealings, considerate neighbor,
kind and indulgent husband and
father. His remains were brought
here Monday on the noon train, the
funeral was held from the Methodist
church at five o'clock in the after
noon, Rev. T. j. Snodgrass officiating,
and they were buried in Greenwood
cemetery beside those of his parents
who died, the mother in 1884, at the
age of 50, and the father in 1886, at
the age of 81.

The ordinance OF the city council,
providing that hitching posts shall be
set at least eighteen inches from the
outer edge OF the sidewalk, recognizes
needed reform. The hitchlng posts
on the edge of the sidewalk permit
the horses to occupy good share of
the sidewalk, to the menace OF the
people. Some horses use their teeth
on passers by them and in wet time
they spatter mud over the walks.

Much complaint is being made
about garden Sass" In early sum-
mer the prospect was excellent for an
abundant and fine crop Of all kinds Of
garden truck-radlshes, lettuce, on
ions, peas, beans, potatoes, sweetcorn,
etcetera. The warm weather with so
much moisture accelerated the growth
OF such vegetation TO the detriment
of ripening-engendered too great
growth Of stalk or vine and when the
extreme heat came it stopped all
growth and we have scarcity Of such
proyender and what we get is OF poor
quality. Peas and beans are no good.
sweetcorn is little good and potatoes
are small with few In a hill but are a
good pIlce-Sl.00 bushel.

Heavy showers have fallen here the
past week so that the ground is again
thoroughly saturated. Saturday af-
ternoon 1t rained "skillets full' in a
regular downpour, filling depressions
to overlooking. Heavy showers also
fell Saturday night and Sunday night.
The situation here, so far as the lack
of moisture is concerned, was not
serious. Had the temperature re-
NAMED normal crops would not have
suffered. 1t was the burning heat
that worked damage to crops.

Stacking is in general operation at
the present time, but farmers find it
difficult to secure adequate help to
do the work. Threshing machines
are In the field ready to accommodate
those who prefer to thresh from the
shock, but little threshing has been
done. Some rye has been threshed
and marketed. The crop is not turn
ing out as well as it had promised
a few weeks before harvest. The
grain is of light weight and the yield
per acre not more than two thirds OF
an average.

NEW YORK, February 1.-THE
weeks start with the general situation
in local metal circles are about as was
prevalent all last week, and in fact for
some months past. Trading was con-
fined to supplying immediate require
ments, and this business was OF very
small volume. The tendency of val
ues, nevertheless, is downward, as the
statistical position indicates an abund-
ant quantity in all lines of metals.

bullish and that market closed a@5sc

sympathy, while provisions showed a
firm finish unchanged to 19c higher.
Saturdays strenuous and confident
bears. relying on calculations of bear
ish statistics with which to begin a
new and profitable week, were to-day
driven to cover. The statistical re-
ports forecasted Saturday proved &C
curate, but instead of finding yield
ing market on which to secure profits,
shorts were confronted by a very stiff
market with the opening price of the
May option unchanged at 745s@74&c.
The market had been sold to a stand
still and the rush to cover approached
stampede which, despite more liberal
offerings from longs on the rise, car
ried May to 1880 during the first hour.
The chief factor in overcoming the
bearishness of the statistics was the
strength early developed in the corn
market, although reported reduction
in the estimate of Argentina's export
able surplus, steadiness in the Liver
pool market and the moderation of
northwest receipts were contributary
aids. Heavy clearanees. and a decrease
in the visible were influential additions
to the days bullish considerations
which resulted in a further advance

bulge nearsthe end of the session in

Corn was active and strong from

There was a very notable decline in
the volume of dealings in the stock
market to-day and the most active
stocks were those under pressure, with
the exception of Union Pacific, which
was bought with persistency on a ris-
ing scale. The market was again
characterized by the wide movement
in a very large number Of unimport-
tant stocks which are seldom promi-
nent in the dealings and which some
times do not appear in the record of
transactions for weeks at a time. In
this class some OF those recently
brought forward into prominence con-
tinued active at further advances,
again turned back Among those
newly active were Des Moines & Fort

inent, however, relatively speaking by
contrast with their usual obscurity.

low Saturdays. London sent lower
