LIKELY TO CONFESS.
Engstrom Expected to Tell of Sneak
Thieves Organization.
HAS. ADMITTED HIS OWN GUILT
ieve He Can Be Induced
to Tell.

The mystery connected with the numer-
Gus raids of sneak thieves in the past few
months promise to be solved by the con-
fessions of Guy Engstrom, young man
arrested early this morning by Detectives
Nelson and Malone. Engstrom entered
the room of @. H. Copley, day clerk at
the Wisconsin hotel, last night, and stole
$25 in cash and a gold watch. He was
found later by Detective Nelson, who ar
rested him and put thim through the
sweat box. He readily confessed to the
robbery, returned $40 of the money, and
led the detectives to the place where he
had hidden the watch and chain.
Engstrom is thought to be member of
the gang that has; been working in the
city for some time and certain things
which he has told the officers lead them
to believe that he will give them the
names of others connected with the
numerous robberies.
The work of sneaks still continues and
reports of their depredations are made at
police headquarters almost daily. Charles
A. Eaton, manager: Of the Barnum Grain
company, reported to the police that
sneak thieves entered his sleeping room
while he was absent, and took his
I trousers, coat and vest, with all the
| valuables in the pockets. He afterwards
found the clothing on the sidewalk, but a
meat sum of money had disappeared from
/ the: pockets. . -.<. !, ,g.vs5ta,*2s

that his room had been entered and $125
taken. The police could give him no aid

Last October.
HOLDS CLEAR TITLE TO 4so ACRES
Interest, Penalties and Principal on
Old Purchase Wiped Out and Adj a
ditionaI Purchase Made.

Since last October Mayor Ames has paid
$3,5203O into the state treasury and now
owns clear title to 4S0 acres OF land
near Fertile, Polk county.
He bought 800 acres some years ago,
but had allowed interest payments to ac-
crue until heavy penalties were charged.
Oct. 2, last, he walked up to the state
auditors Office and settled, paying $5OS.55
interest and $2O4.S7 penalties. ~
October, Is, at the state land sale In
Crookston, he bought an adjoining quar-
ter section and made the first payment,
$22S.28 March of this year he paid the
balance due on the principal of his first
purchase, 81, ,453 and became owner Of the
west half of section S6, township ,147,
range IS. March 10, although by law
given ten years to pay the principal, he
settled in full for the tract bought last
fall, paying $1,125.60. 4

OF the county treasurer of Polk county.
Mayor Ames has taken frequent occa-
sion to deny that he has made money
lately, saying that he only put $4,000 in
| the West Baden hotel and that the money
came from his mothers estate. The same
explanation may serve for the, $500 re-

CROPS AWAY VI
Conditions in General Are Of the
Very Best.
vANDUzEN-HARR1NGToNREpoRTs
They Are Exceptionally Free From
DiscouraEing Features
Acreage Figures.

Just now the outlook for the spring
wheat crop in the northwest is very good.
At this time last year there was good
outlook, viewing the crop as whole, but
there were some spots of backward
growth that were in moderate way an
offset. This year even these few scat
tered spots of backward growth are miss
ing and it is hard to see how the general
situation could be more, promising,
The Van Duzen- Harrington company
emphasizes this in it's review issued to-
day, in which it is stated that never be-
fore has it been the company's pleasure
to handle collection of reports, so free
from diseouragng elements and, on the
whole, so favorable.
for the decreased wheat acreage which is
fact now fully accepted by the grain
trade. Even with conditions nearly per-
feet, it is to be expected that the small
er area put to wheat will make material
difference in the total yield, unless the
yield per acre~this year should be phe-
nomenally large, which Is hardly ex-
pected.
But while decrease in the acreage
planted to wheat bears in "a very i'm
portant manner upon all whose interests
lie primarily in wheat, a broad view OF
the situation is felt to be immensely en-
couraging. Considering the outlook for
the total grain tonnage for the railroads,
for sellers of agricultural implements, for
country merchants, for lenders of money
on farm mortgages, for all to whom the
agricultural prosperity of4the northwest is
the prime consideration, and It is said
that the general promise is as high as 1t
has ever been at this date.
Ever since it was first evident that the
tendency this year would run more to
coarse grains, estimates have been made
as to how much of decrease there would
| be in the wheat acreage. The ou r
n al printed some weeks ago, review
giving an estimate of the wheat decrease,
and the increases In coarse grains, this
at time when seeding conditions in the
Red River valley were In very indefinite
shape, for which allowance had to be
| made. Later reports based upon more
complete seeding returns do not change
that estimate, except by the smallest
tered places, where early seeding condi-
tions were the very worst, where farmers
are still putting in fax and barley.
| The last report of the Van Duzen- Har-
| rington company is based on returns to
date and is especially Interesting for the
| estimate of acreage changes. In this re.
port it is figured that in South Dakota
| southern Minnesota and the two northern
tiers of counties in iowa, the acreage
sown to wheat this year is 20 per cent
less than last year, while there have been
increases of 13 per cent in barley, IN pei
cent in oats and II per cent in corn. For
northern Minnesota and North Dakota the
decrease in the wheat acreage is esti-
mated at IS per cent, with increases ol
13 per cent in oats and II per Gent in corn
while for the same. territory the f1aa
acreage so far as can be determined al
this time is 21 kper cent larger thar
last wear. - -

GRAIN INSURANCE RATES.
An Advance of. Over 25 Per Cent on
Schedule Predicted, .aq

An Advance of Over 25 Per Cent ON
Schedule Predicted. .>r ~.
Elevator companies will be forced to
pay a considerable advance in rates on
grain insurance over last year. Just
what sthat. advance will be has not been
determined but it is expected to reach
rs or 80 per cent. 1t is announced from
Chicago, the insurance headquarters of
the west, that unless there is a material
advance in grain insurance rates elevator
companies will be unable to secure
enough insurance to cover their systems.
The number of companies writing sched-
ule grain insurance has rapidly decreased
within the past few years on account Of
the heavy loss ratio, and those now in
the business do not care TO take on
heavy lines without an increase in rates:
On some elevator risks an advance Of be-
tween 25 ard 80 per cent is being asked
and 1t is thought this ratio of increase
will be applied generally to all schedule
grain insurance. -
