Will Barger manager for the Trans
mississippi Grain Co., did n thriving
business the past week in taking in
corn and got it from the following
parties: M. p, Rasmussen 1900 BUSH
els, Mike Schrock 1900, VIM. Scholtz
1000, Sack Bald 600, and VIM. Groin
500.
Will Barger manager for the Trans
Mississippi was offered promotion
last week by the auditor but prefers to
stay where he is acquainted. This
offer coming so soon after he has en-
tered their employ shows that his
work is satisfactory and appreciated
and is credit to the manner in
which he is conducting the business.
Last Sunday night as Carl Borkoski
was returning home driving his BROTH
er's team they became frightened and
ran away. The first jump broke the
double trees and left the buggy and
occupants in the road. The team ran
through wire fence and one of them
fell sliding six or eight rods ere it
stopped but when caught it was found
neither horse was hurt.
Last Friday night Joe Siler living
east of town was awakened from a
sound sleep and called to the door.
On opening the door he was struck
down and beaten up in manner no
one but brute could accomplish.
Whoever the party or parties were,
entered the house and ritled the
trunks of himself and his brother who
was at the dance in Gray, but got
nothing for their pains. He had
eighteen dollars in his trousers pocket
which were hanging on the bed, but
the thieves failed to rifle these. He is

and his brother are patching and no
one else was near to witness any of
the deed.
At the opening practice at the Drake
university last week Elmer Audas
made one of the best showings of any
of the new students and in fact it took
five turns ere they could find one to
beat him and that in the man who
has held the banner as champion for
several years. He was a surprise to
all of them. His quiet unostentious
manner was not indicative of one pos
sessing so much speed and they could
hardly understand how it could be.
He is likely to become one of the
champions in the coming athletic
meets of the year. Athletics are COM
ing more and more into prominence in
the colleges and the training is knock

WarIike Preparations in China.

Honolulu, Feb 2.-The Pacific Mail
steamship China has arrived here
from Hong Kong and Yokohama on
her way to San Francisco. She brings
the news that large importations of
arms and ammunition are being made
by Chinese, in violation of the agree
ment of the powers. Vessels disguised
as trading boats are going into the
interior laden with war material. It
is thought that these unusual importa-
lions Of firearms and ammunition are
being made by the reform element,
which is plotting to overthrow the
Manchurian dynasty.

ROUGH SEA TEST.
Reliance Proved Her Worth in
Heavy Weather.

Newport. r. L. June 30.-The new cup
yacht Reliance proved her worth as a
heavy-weather boat when she defeated
Columbia and Constitution in a stiff
easterly breeze and lumpy sea over a
3O-mile course IS miles Of which was a
beat to windward Reliance sailed the
course in four minutes nine seconds less
than did Columbia and four minutes
IS seconds less than Constitution.
All racing in which these boats nave
participated up to this contest has been
in light airs and smooth water but
Monday afternoon there was good
breeze blowing and considerable jump
to the water-conditions that are ex-
actIy suited to the Columbia With hsr
owner. Z. d. Morgan, at the helm, the
old cup defender sailed a grand race
reaching the windward mark only one
minute SO seconds astern of Reliance
and one minute 81 seconds ahead Of
Constitution.
On the run home. however, Reliance
pulled away steadily from both her Cp-
ponents while Constitution gained con-
siderably on Columbia Captain Barr
sailed the new slooD for all there was
in her. and gave her rigging and spaTs
a thorough testing. Twice he wore s5ip
when maneuvering for the start and
on each occasion a gust of wind heeled
the craft down until the water was
nearly up to the matches.
