Circular to Wool Shippers.

The c., B. & @. Railway company
proposes to take out insurance cover
ing fire risk on wool stored in it's
warehouses at Billings, Cody, Clear
mont, Garland and Edgemont, cover
ing The interests Of all concerned.
AS each lot of wool arrives at the
company's warehouse, this company
will cause same to be insured against
loss by fire, while stored, to such an
amount per pound as the owner may
determine, or if the owner shall name
no amount, then at it's market value,
as near as may be, at the time OF it's
receipt; it being understood that in
either of such cases, in the event OF
the destruction of the wool by fire,
the loss shall not exceed the amount
of the insurance, which shall in all
cases be collected by the railway COM
pany and paid to the owner of the
wool. The railway company will adj
vance the cost of the insurance from
time to time, and collect the same
from the owner when the storage is
terminated. The cost Of such insur-
ance shall in all cases be based upon
the actual time during which the
wool is stored.
By this method alone can the own
err of the wool and the railway com
pany, it's custodian storage, be abso-
lutely protected against loss by fire,
however occasioned. wv \

MOVEMENT STARTED TO HAVE
FARMERS INCREASE PRICE OF
THE CEREAL.
THEIR SHARE OF PROSPERITY
TRUST METHODS UTILIZED IN OR.
DER 10 BRING ABOUT DE-
SIRED RESULTS.

indianapolis, May 25.-The Ameri.
can Society of Equity will today issue
q bulletin to the farmers of the United
States demanding an increase in the
price Of wheat, giving arguments. that
the minimum price of wheat should be
81 and urging the farmers OF the Unit
ed States not to sell for less than 81.
The society has been organized with
this city as national headquarters for
the purpose OF maintaining higher
prices for farm products by co-opera.
ton OF the farmers Of the country and
this is the first formal demand for in
crease in prices as the result of the
combination. The bulletin sets out
the claim that this is an era of IN
equalled prosperity, demand for com
modities is unprecedented, labor re
ceiving higher wages than ever before
and the demand for and consumption
OF wheat is greater than ever before
with a low visible supply. The bull
letin then says:
1T is evident that the American
farmers cannot produce over about
twelve bushels per acre on al aver.
age, which at 88 cents per bushel rep
resents $10.56 per acre to cover all
the work, seed, Irvine, threshing,
marketing, etc, al amount that scarce
ly equals the simplest machine that
the farmer buys, yet which only repre-.
.sents a small fraction of the factory
investment, capital and labor EN-.
ployed.
"Who dare say in the face of these
evidences, and considering the present
higher range of values for nearly every
other commodity produced in the
country, that wheat at this time and
for the next crop IS not equitably
worth 81 per bushel On the basis OF
the Chicago market, and that other
farm crops should not be on a cores.
ponding basis?
Farmers, keep this matter in mind
keep 81 wheat Isl at Chicago) before
you and you will get it as sure as the
u rises in the East and sets in the
West. Above all, however, we implore
you, don't be fools. When you get
the equitable price, let it go. Sell on
the basis of 81 and nj less, but don't
hold for more or you may run up an
unwieldly surplus which must eventu.
ally compel lower prices"

The members of the Turnveiein and
their friends held service in the lecture
room of Turner hall Sunday evening to
pay tribute to the memory of the first
president of this country, George Wash
lngton. Connected with this was the OBJ
servance of the birthday of the great
Carl Heinzen whose birthday falls upon
the same day of the month as that of
Washington. The program for the eve
ming consisted of music by large chorus.
under the direction of A. j. ALVIN, the.
address on Washington being made by
Edwin Juni, in English, followed by
piano and violin duet by Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert Scherer. Ed. Petre spoke in
German of the life and character of
Abraham Lincoln, and Albert Stein
hauser paid tribute to the memory Of
Carl Heinzen in a German address. The
service throughout was most patriotic
and was thoroughly appreciated by those
who were present. The concert given
By. the Cadet band on the same evening
was the evident cause of keeping many
from attending.
Tonight at the auditorium Of the
school house the lecturer 81. w. Sears
will deliver his humorous lecture for the
benefit Of the public library and the peo-
| pie of the city are reminded that the
tickets they hold are good for this lect-.
| ure. e has been some time since there
has been a lecturer here, and probably
not for many years one as prominent as
a platform speaker as the man who will
be here. This is the second in the course
| for which the tickets were sold early IN
the fall and there are two more to fol-
low. It is hoped by the committee in
Icharge that those who are interested ia
the library will make an effort to see.
their friends and have them come out
this evening as there were not enough
Of the season tickets sold to cover the
lexpense Of the course and It was expect
led that the she rtage would be made up
Thy the admissions at the door. The
library is q charity Institution that is
entirely dependent on the people Of the.
3 u
lefty for its support and in trying to get
this support the board has adopted the
means used ii all ether cities and while;
il has not met with the greatest success
there has been shown such disposition
TO help that there IS no reason Why the
Increment should be dropped. These
few lines should explain to all who may
read them the necessity Of giving their
hearty cooperation and bring to them
the urgency Of their presence at the.
auditorium this evening.

Carnival Season Ends.

The efforts of the Turnyereln to have
the ending Of the carnival season memo
srable one were rewarded with greatest
success last evening, not only was the
attendance at the masquerade excellent
but the entire program was something
that could hardly be improved upon.
This idea Of the ending Of the carnival
season, so foreign to the customs Of the
more English communities, is something
that commends itself to all who see 1t.
and the lesson thatlt teaches it that there
is time in the strife for money and
power to forget the petty quarrels and
enjoy a season of unalloyed fun. The
carnival this year was better than last
and those who took part IN it are de-
serving of the highest praise. :
The spirit Of the Carnival p1edom1-
mated during the entire evening not
only among those who took part but also
the audience. Excellent work on lmprO-
vised musical instruments was done by
Robt. Scherer, and assistants, that would
pass we'll IN a good vaudeville show. It
was the feature Of the stage performances.
The shadowgraphs were the best that
has been given and convulsed the audi
ence with laughter.
Prince Carnival was impersonated by
F.W. Eibner and Miss Petre was princess.
They had a retinne of subjects enmasque
much more varied than handsome for
there were very few really handsome
costumes and the grotesque prevailed.
It was alter eleven o'clock when the
party unmasked and dancing commenced
which lasted until after two o'clock.
The young ladies' who had the temeri.
ty to wear upon their dress the name Of
the Review have the sincere thanks OF
the paper. They we're all neatly dressed
and pretty.
