GARDEN CITY.
SS@o)o)e

Mr.. Lyons, a young Englishman,
who is working on Floyd Wills N s
farm, met with quite a serious acct
dent Thursday. He was feeding a
horse and the animal, which seems to
have been vicious brute, suddenly
bit his face, catching him by the nose
and almost severing it from his face.
Among those who are attending the
state fair this week are Ted Hughes,
Len Miller and wife, Mrs. E. Thomp-
son, Walt Friend, Myrtle Oliver and
Josie Barton.
A peculiar thing happened at John
Bixby's on Friday night, while Mrs.
William Jones and her two children
were visiting there. Some one had
brought quantity of chocolate candy
of which all had partaken quite heart
lily. Shortly after. they became very
sick, and were seized with fits of
cramps and vomiting. Evidently it
was a case of poisoning. DR.. Murphy
was Immediately summoned, but it
was some time before he succeeded in
restoring them to their normal con-
dion. Undoubtedly it was poison in
the candy that did the mischief for
only those who ate of it most heartily
were affected.
Mrs. W. q. Jones and her two
children, who have been visiting al
the homes OF Mrs. Thomas and Mrs.
j. G. Bixby, left on Wednesday for
her home in New York city.
Will Hall, formerly of this place,
who has been visiting in Garden City
for some time, has returned to his
new home in Idaho.
The Misses Beth and Mabel Fair
child, Ida Conklin, Mary Cambell
and Eva Thomas went to Mankato on
Monday last, where they will attend
school during the ensuing year.
Chris Parker and Miss Helen Cham
plain left on Monday to take charge of
their respective schools. The former
will teach at Blakeley, the latter at
Springfield.
Mrs. George Richardson, who went
to Minneapolis on Monday last, has
returned with baby girl, whom she
adopted while in that city. The little
one has certainly found good home.

The following market letter is fur
nished by Edwards, Wood & Co.,
Grain Commission Merchants,
Chamber of Commerce, Minneapolis,
80 Board of Trade. Duluth.
Sept. 10.-The most noticeable
feature of the market has been the
long delay in the movement of spring
wheat. Last week showed a good in
crease over the week before but it is
doubtful If this week will show any
increase. Arrivals which have again
been about 90 per cent of last year to-
day dropped to under 40 per cent and
were 81 cars less than on last Wednes-
day. The grading yesterday showed
that less than IA per cent of the ar
rivals graded contract The grading
of winter wheat is no better and
wheat in stack in Kansssg is reported
to be badly injured. Eighty loads
were sold for export yesterday, MAX
ing l, $50, coo bushels for two days.
Clearances continue good. The pre-
MUM for spot wheat at Minneapolis
has increased to about three cents over
December. Duluth and Chicago have
been drawing wheat away from Min
neapolis and there is said to be some
duplication In receipts, part OF those
at Duluth having already figured in
receipts at Minneapolis.
There is report of heavy buying
by Armour. Patton and other heavy
weight professionals at Chicago
There was an increase Of $500, 600
bushels in the worlds available sup
ply.
Dorenbusch estimaes that Europe
will take 20S, 600. coo bushels of wheat
of the q. s. and Canada during this
crop year. The long delay to the
movement of spring wheat causes
some skepticism about the movement
becoming large at any time and this
Is becoming strong bullish influence.
We think the movement is only de- |
aged and that it will increase and |
prices possibly work little lower. A |
iecine in prices at this time is nat
lral and should not cause any one to
ose faith in wheat. We favor pur-
;hases on the soft spots.

more books are written about America

Ing. except to ourselves, than the rest
Of the world. 1t does mean that we are
