Wheat Estimates.

II. v. Jones, of Minneapolis, who is
an acknowledged authority upon crop
reports, makes the following esti-
mates:
The wheat production of Minnesota
and the two Dakotas for 1908 is 49,
100000 bushels less than in 1902. This
reduction is in part due to a decrease
OF acreage and i'll part to a decrease
of average yield. The acreage decrease
is about SOC. 900, which, on the basis
OF the computed average yield this
year. is equal to 1O,o0o,00O bushels;
the decrease in average of yield is
equivalent to 1.35 bushels an acre, or
about 1900, 600 bushels, a total of
2s,ooO,0o0 bushels.
The amount of old wheat carried
over to the new crop is estimated at
100000 less than for the previous
year, or 100000, thus reducing the
available northwest supply to 3o,0o0,-
0 less than last year.
The feature of interest in the north
west crop this year is the loss of
wheat acreage. The total is comput-
ed here at 800, 900 acres less than last
year. The difficulty of arriving at a
satisfactory conclusion on this point
is admitted, but these figures are be-
lieved to be conservative and safe. The
reduction of 1000, 900 acres last year
is fully sustained by the distribution.
The area, condition, average yield
and total yields promised are as fol-
lows:

Saved His Life.

BY possessing a sharp p~ocketknife
and an unlimited amount of nerve,
Albert Gauck, who carries the United
States mail between Fort Randall and
Fairfax, saved his life.
He was bitten by a huge rattle
snake, and, being many miles from
the nearest doctor, without hesitation,
drew out his knife and deliberately
cut out a chunk of flesh at the point
where the deadly fangs of the RATHER
had entered.
This prompt action saved his life
and eaabled him to perform his du-
ties without interruption.

Important Decision.

Judge Jones of the state circuit
court in Sioux Falls, has decided an
important case, involving the right of
towns to refuse to grant licenses for
the sale of intoxicating liquors. One
Larson asked hat a writ of mandam,
us compelling the town board of Fair
view, Lincoln county, to issue him a
license be granted. The town voted in
favor of license, and Larson made APP
plication in regular form for a permit
Notwithstanding linuors, but the
town board denied his application.
The board produced testimony to the
effect that it had refused Larson a
license on the ground that he was not
a fit person to conduct a saloon. Judge
Jones, after listening to the argu-
ments, sustained the board in the
stand taken.

ChamberIain's Cough Remedy

No one who is acquainted with its
good qualities can be surprised at the
great popularity of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t not only cures colds
and grip effectually and permanently,
but prevents these diseases from result
ing in pneumonia. 1t is also a certain
cure for Group. Whooping cough is not
dangerous when this remedy is given.
1t contains nc opium or other harmful
substance and may be given as con-
fidently to a baby as to an adult. 1t is
also pleasant to take. When all of
these facts are taken into consideration
it is not surprising that people in for
eign lands, as we'll as at home, esteem
this remedy very highly and very few
are willing to take any other after hav-
ing once used it. For sale by Cohen

Better Than Pills.

The question has been asked-In
what way are Chamberlain's Stamach
and Liver Tablets superior to the ordi-
nary cathartic and liver pills? Our
answer is-They are easier and more
pleasant to take and their effect is so
gentle and so agreeable that n hardly
realizes that it is produced by a medi-
cine. Then they not only move the
bowels but improve the appetite and
aid the digestion. For sale at % cents

NEW QUARTERS FOR FIRM.
Lord G. Thomas Have Enlarged Space

What is said to be the largest adver-
Using house in the world has just been
installed in new quarters on the two
upper floors of the enlarged Trude build
ing. Wabash avenue and Randolph
street 1t is the newspaper and magazine
advertising firm of Lord & Thomas,
firm that has been built up in Chicago
within the last thirty-four years to pro-
portions that now warrant the manage
ment to make the claim that no business
house in all the world, with the exception
probably, of a few insurance concerns,
executes yearly as large a number of in
dividual contracts. Over 1900 such con-
tracts were made and carried out last
year by their firm, the volume of bust
ness transacted amounting to several mil
lions of dollars.
In this spacious new business home $50
people are employed in the work of plan
ming, perfecting and carrying out all the
complicated details of judicial advertis-
ing" The firms quarters are bright and
pleasant, comfortable and at an altitude
far above the dust and roar of traffic and
trade The offices are apportioned and
omy of space, but to the furtherance of
perfect system, all the complex machin-
cry of which moves without confusion or
any waste of time or labor.
Just 1850 square feet of floor space is
occupied by the firm in its new quarters,
a floor area which is about twice as large
as the concerns old quarters in the same
building There are shipping and order
ing departments, promoting and estimat-
ing departments. a literary and art de-
partment otherwise known as design
ing department" printing and electro
typing department. and in addition the
firm finds space to classify and file away
from day to day copies of the 1900 pub
locations receiving its advertising service
in all parts of the world. Not less than
fourteen solicitors of advertising are en-
ployed by the firm. Each of these has
an Office all to himself. fitted up with
rich oriental rugs and hand-carved desks.
One OF the business features recently
evolved and in which the firm takes
special pride is its almost perfect method
of estimating the advertising rates and
space for the different publications in the
vast and ever-increasing circle of its ser
vice. To this one branch of the business
the members of the firm attribute much

have attained in their special line Of in
dustry and endeavor. Another advantage
is that both members of the firm give

IS N CONSTITUTIONAL
Must Employer Give Reasons
for DiScharging Men
A SUIT FOR DAMAGES
Was it Because Man Was
Member of Union

Topeka, Kan. May 12.-Whether an en-
pIoyers when he discharges an employe,
must give the latter reasons for such dis
charge in writing is a proposition now
UP before the supreme court. The issues
are on a suit fled yesterday by T. P.
Perry against the Coneyvine Vitrifed
Brick company, an appeal from the Mont
gomery county district court. Members
of labor unions, especially, will be inter
ested in its outcome
Perry alleges in his petition, that he
viii receive $1.5O a day in the employ of
the company prior TO May 81, 1901, and
that prior to that date he made applica-
ton to join the Labor Protection associ-
alton, a branch of the American Fedora
ton of Labor. On May 81 he was dis
charged by the foreman. He asked the
foreman the reason for his discharge
and the foreman replied that he had been
ordered 10 discharge him by George Fran
els general superintendent OF the COM
pany. Perry went to Francis and de-
manded the reason for his discharge in
writing. He says that Francis refused to
give him written reason for his dis
charge. but said:
You know why you were discharged.
You union men scored the first point
when you compelled US to pay you wages
once a week instead of once a month,
as we had been doing. You scored the
first point. but we are going to score the
second point.
Perry then brought suit against the
company, asking for s.. 600 damages and
s5c9 for attorneys fees. George r. Smell
ing. who was assistant attorney general
under /. c. Boyle, during Governor
Leedy's administration. is one of Perry's
attorneys. The jury gave Perry judg-
ment, but cut it down TO 800.
The company now appeals the case on
the ground that the law under which the
decision was rendered is contrary to the
constitution of the United States. 1t is a
question of great Importance to labor.
