WAGON MARKET

There was not so liberal an Offering on
Saturday as on the day preceding. but the
receipts of corn were rather above the de-
mand. and the price broke to 50455c, the

quickly disposed OF. The weighmaster re-

Injunction Against Talking.

No one in Omaha has yet been
restrained by injunction from
breathing, but the matter has al
most reached that limit. The
most radical move was the giss.u-
ing of an injunction to RESTRAIN a
woman who lived in a fiat from
talking so much, as her landlord
claimed it drove his other tenants
away Possibly we don't talk
too much, but we certainly all
are too active and lacking in re
pose. We need, almost without
exception, golden grain belt beer
to quiet our nerves and tone us
down to slower, more comfort
able living. 1t is pure and de
icious and should be in every
home. Order of your nearest
dealer or be supplied by John

Climbing Mountains.

Is a fascinating and invigor.
ating pastime. It developes not
the body only, but the mind. The
Alpine Peaks of Switzerland have
their counterpart in our own
country, in the Sierras, the Cas-
cades, and parts of the Rockies.
The greatest glacial peak OF
the United States is Mt. Rainier
in Washing ton, more than 1880
feet high. This magnificent
mountain has Is or more giant
glaciers creeping down it's sides
and discharging their glacial de-
tritus into the Columbia river or
Puget Sound.
A climb to the summit of this
is a mountaineering feat worthy
of any mountaineer. For 25 cent?

SAYS HE HAS NEVER AND DOES

DIAN LANDS.

Chicago, Aug. Is. - A washington
dispatch to the Daily News says:
Disclosures made through special
agents who have gone to the Indian
Territory and Oklahoma indicate that
the scandals in official life there will
be more extensive in proportion to the
number of persons involved than those
in the postoffice department.
Special reports now on file Indicate
that the leading officials of the interior
department, as we'll as those of the
department of justice, have become in
terested in various companies for the
purpose of buying Indian lands at
ridiculously low figures and selling
them at their actual values. Mem
bers of the Dawes commission are said
to be implicated in the alleged efforts
To Fleece the Indians,
as also are several district attorneys
of the department. of justice. The SEN
sational feature about it all is that The
officials of the interior department and
the department OF justice have for
years devoted themselves to devising
some scheme which would protect the
Indians when their land was finally
allotted.
In several instances the very men
/! who are now implicated in the effort
to fleece the Indians came to, Washing
ton to consult with the heads of de-
partments here in devising a plan for
the Indians protection The value OF
1.-THE land in question will be several
hundred million dollars.
Mr.. Brosius, special agent of the
interior department, has submitted a
report to Secretary Hitchcock, review
ing in an exhaustive way the organlza-
ton of the various trust" companies
formed to gobble the Indian lands and
mentions the names of all
United States Officials
who have stock in them. Guy p. Cobb,
who was internal revenue inspector
for Indian Territory, is the largest
stockholder in the Tribal Development
Company of Tishmingo. In this same
company is E. Pliny Soper. United
States district attorney for the North
ern district of the Indian Territory.
Soper is the vice president of the COM
pany.
;. Gov Moseley of the Chickasaw ma
ton is stakeholder Of an Important
company, and Tams Bixby of the
Dawes commission is the vice presi-
dent and leading stockholder in the
Muscogee Title and Trust company,
which does a large land business.

spector who has complete charge of
the Indian bureaus affairs for the ter
ritorys is a member of another trust

st. Paul Aug lS.-Despite the many

census seems to be that the wheat
crop viii be an average one. and that
as far as the Western States are CON
cerned other crops, with the exception
/ OF the corn crop. will come up to last

Late in JulaH Y. Jones of Mime

NORTHWESTERN states at 147,300,00o
bushels. Since that estimate was an
Inornced other experts have gone over
the country and they figure that the

this. For instance, Col G. ID. Rogers
/ secretary of the Minneapolis chamhe,
/ OF commerce, is quoted as stating tkat
| the crop will
Reach 200, 100000 Bushels.
The Duluth Commercial Record
| figures that the crop will be in the
neighborhood of l75360,0o0 bushels.
On top Of these estimates comes the
report from the party OF Twin City
men who are interested in the crop,
and who but recently returned from an
extensive trip of inspections They de
clare that the wheat crop will De
heavy one, One man stated that the
yield in some parts Of North Dakota
Will be as heavy this year as it was in
! 1885 which was a banner year
While many OF the fields were ex-
! tremely backward during the last two
weeks in July when Mr.. Jones made
| his trip, the conditions have been ex-.
Gtremely favorable since then, and
rapid strides are reported from many
sections. Few of the party who re-
! turned Saturday cared to place Any
Definite Estimate
on the wheat crop although one man
stated that he believed the crop in
North Dakota would run as high as
| 55 100000 bushels This, however, IN
cludes the nlacaroni wheat. which Mr..
| Jones did not take into consideration
| In making his estimate. Mr. Jones
estimate is based upon an acreage of
12600,00 acres The government es-

states is 1926, 600.

Estates all report the climate conditions

Ito expect short crop.
There is, however, "a slight shrink
age in the corn crop. Throughout the
Mississippi and Missouri valleys the
crops are
, Slightly Backward,
i but the conditions are reported good
and average crops are expected.
The oats crop will probably be be-
tween and 10 per cent shorter than
last year Kansas, Nebraska and
South Dakota all report slight in
creases, ranging from S per cent to
! IS per cent In Minnesota, Illinois,
Indiana. Missouri, Kentucky and North
! Dakota, however, decreases of from 4
per cent to 80 per cent are eported.
This will reduce the crop to CON
siderable extent.
/ The rye and barley crops are said
to be better in Kansas and South Da-
kota but the totals for all the states
show slight average decrease.
Reports from the potato crop in this
section are encouraging although no
estimates are available.

Some poultry farmers claim that
they can make more money in rails
ing roasting fowls for market than
they can with broilers. On the other
hand, there are poultrymen who say
the profits are decidedly in favor Of
broilers. Much depends upon the mar
kets. In some sections of the country
broilers would have very little sale,
while in other sections there is a
great call for them. Where the mar
ket is favorable to roasting fowls, say
four TO six pounds in weight, it is
more profitable to raise the latter as
the extra pounds in weight over the
first two cost considerably less, on dc-
count of the gain being quickly made.
Where it is possible both broilers and
roasters should be raised so as to fit
all classes of trade.-Cincinnati Trib-
