HARVEST HAND BEAR.
Market Is Likely to Be Over Sup

Bureau Man.
Importation Of Foreigners for Rail
road Work Releases Others
for Harvest Fields.

The importation of large number of
Austrans and Italians for railroad work
in the northwest this summer viii result
in Cutting the market with harvest
hands in keeping down the wages paid by
the grain growers of this and adjoining
states.
This, the first attempt Of the year to
"bear" the harvest hand market is in
corporated in statement by prominent
local employment agent who is, himself,
about to send east a man whose sole bust
ness it will be to pick up Austrians and
Italians in Chicago and New York
1.-THE Austrians have been coming into
this country in unusual numbers this
year." said the agent this morning, "and
the railroads are discovering that they
make good laborers. A good many are
being used on the Glenwood ex-
tension of the 500 line, and other roads
are using them in the betterment of work,
They are better. than the men of other
nationalities because they are clannish
and stick together and stick to their jobs
American born laborers, on the other
hand, are more likely to grow restless
and to quit at odd hours, either to better
their condition or to spend their earnings
hence the preference for the Austrians
and Italians, who are being paid just as
much as anybody get on railroad work

territory will. I believe. bring more har-

agents who are properly looking for the
Sc fare, will say that 10000 men are
wanted on every line. But my advices are
that the farmers will have all the men
they want and that they will pay 81 day
for harvest hands instead of the SO they
were talking about when bumper crop

DICKEY MAKES ANSWER
Doesn't Believe in stacy's Method
Of City Accounting Reform

Thaddeus S. Dickey has returned from
his vacation and takes exception to F.. N
Stacy's report on special assessments and
the rebate evil, which he regards as con-
tanning thinly yelled insinuations as to
himself. He says:
1T is true that I am in the tax rebate
business, but Mr.. Stacy knows as well as
any one that all the rebates have been Gre
ated by the aldermen and by no one else.
When the city council ceases to annul as
sessments, then will come to an end the
tax rebate evil, II it be an evil, and not
before. don't like these insinuations
about my connections with departments
which have been under investigation,
when every one in town knows just where
the blame lies.
II frankly admit that do not approve
Of Mr.. Stacy's recommendation Of ripping
up the whole system Of accounting since
the year one. In the first place a great
many of the old warrants have been de-
stroyed and it would be impossible to
check up the books. In the second place
not even Mr.. Stacy has dared to intimate
that any Of the warrants were not legally
issued and paid or that there was anything
irregular or crooked connected with
them.''

WHO LIVE LONGER?|
Chicago Health Officer Says More
Men Than Women Die
in Chicago.
Thinks Insurance Companies Are Off
in Their Tables-situation
in Minneapolis.

Health Commissioner Reynolds of Chi
cago has made the discovery that the
women OF Chicago live longer than do the
men and he produces figures to prove it,
Having made this discovery he is inclined
to wonder that life insurance companies
40 not regard women as equally good risks
with men.
THE census of 1900" says Mr.
Reynolds, showed 1868, 40s males and
83o,l67 females as the population of this
clty-an excess of about 3.3 per cent In the
number Of males. During the first six
months OF 1901 there were 6,6S2 deaths of
males and 5,416 deaths of females-an
excess of 1914 per cent in the deaths Of
males. In the first six months of 1902 the
deaths were 1922 males, s5,728 females
an excess of 29.5 per cent of males This
ears first six months show an excess of
37.4 per cent Of male deaths-8,79S males
and 6,403. females"
In closing Mr.. Reynolds calls attention
to the fact that few life insurance com
panies insure women on the same terms
as men, altho, according to his figures,
they are by far the better risks-1O.6 per
cent better, stated exactly.
"A comparison of the deaths by sexes in
Minneapolis and the deaths by sexes in
chicago shows that here as in the windy
cIty the females are living longer than the
males. Examination Of the vital sta
tlstlcs IN the office of Health Commission
er Hall shows that in the years 1900 to
1902 there died in Minneapolis 1864 males
and only 3,303 females, or 351 less females
than males.
This comparison gives the females the
advantage In the matter of longevity but
While this advantage might be taken as a
criticism, or basis of criticism on the
actuaries of the life insurance companies,
which do not regard the women as the
better risk, it does not take into account
the proportion of births and deaths in the
two sexes.
In Minneapolis, for instance, there were
born during the years 1900 to 1902, 1884
males and but 5,40S females. So while
35l more males than females died during
the three years, 626 more males than fe-
males were born, showing that there is not
at present in this community danger of a
predominance Of the females, numerically
at least ~
