games l.. Grant, alias Walter j. Harris,
the sailor. who appeared ut tho Sailors
Rest last night and told q thrilling story
Of how lac had been wrecked on the
fishing schooner J. T. Williams off Cape
Cod last Friday, and how he and another
seaman, Charles Keller, were tho only
survivors Of the crew OF fourteen, they
teing picked up by the schooner John IL
kirkman sixty miles off Cape Cod light,
vas arrested to-day by Sergeant Rcy-
holds on the charge Of deserving from
The battleship Maine.
Chaplain Steele, of tho Sailors Rest
became suspicious this morning, and In
formed the police that he believed Ilar-
ris was q deserter and had told Il fake
story. The arrest followed, and when
kearchcd at the station house letters
we're found in the mans pocket addressed
TO James l.. Grant, care Of United States

EOlSTEROUS IN COURT.
Afterwards it was proven that Grant
had been seen hero In uniform while the
Maine was In port. The prisoner was
boistercus and unruly in the Police Court
and was fined $40 and given twenty days
In jail by Justice Brown for contempt
He will be turned over to the United
States authorities as soon as he has
served his time.
1t seems that Keller was an imaginary
character, and that no such schooner as
the j. 7. Williams ever existed.

told the story to get n berth at the Rest

CORN GROWING FAST
Weekly Crop Report Indicates That
Hay and Grain Harvest is Over
Rains Have Helped Corn But No
More Needed

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. August 1.-THE first of
the week was dry and very warm, fol-
lowed by we'll distributed and bene-
fetal showers and cooler weather. The
week closed warm and showery, with
some heavy local rains. There was an
average of about four days Of good har-
vest weather which was we'll improved.
Except in portions of the northern sec
ton the hay and grain harvest is prac-
ucally completed. All reports indicate
a very heavy crop of hay, mostly Sc
cured in good condition. Threshing
wheat, oats and barley is in progress,
with somewhat variable reports as to
the yield. Generally, however, the out
put of spring wheat and oats is reported
to be below the average in amount and
weight of grain. The copious showers
have been timely and beneficial to the
corn crop, and as whole II has made
fairly good progress. 1t needs warmer
weather in the future, and is now in
condition to mature with but little adj
ditional moisture. There are numerous
reports of damage to the potato crop
by rotting and blight. There is no
special change in the condition of the
apple crop.

= n. Princes Grain Letter.

Chicago, Aug. 4.-Wheat-The curly
market was weak and a sympathetic
one largely influenced by weakness il:
corn, but a general demand developed
later and there was a quick upturn
and much strength without any appar
ent effort. There was an advance from
the low point. Very strong outside
markets and unfavorable weather in
the northwest and bad crop reports
were influences. There was influential
selling early and good buying later.
The market was active and local senti
ment bullish. No improvement in cash
demand. Cables firm and foreign ad
vices bullish.
Corn-There was weakness in corr
early on improved weather but when
wheat reacted it became strong with
offerings light and selling scattered,
Strength was on account Of crop re-
ports later. Crop reports continue to
come bullish.
Oats-The oats market has been firm
all day. While trade was not large
there was fairly good demand. The
market was not affected to any extent
by the early weakness in corn and
wheat. Local bulls continue to support
the distant months. The influences
were disappointing, threatening re-
turns. No Improvement noted in cash
demand.

Flat Passenger Rate Promised
Which Will End Inter
changeable Mileage
BOOKS ISSUED TO BEARER
Great Western Road Expected to Sell
1000 Mile Books at 500 Each and
Other Lines in Territory Between
Chicago and the Missouri River
Must Meet the Reduction.

Chicago, Aug 4-The establishment
of q flat passenger rate of cents
mile in the territory east of the Mis-
souri, river and st. Paul and west and
northwest of Chicago will probably be
the result of the agitation over inter-
changeable mileage.
President Stickney, of the Chicago
Great Western. has now under consid-
Grafton plan which includes the sale
of 1000 mile books at $50 flat. These
books. if it is decided to issue them,
can ride on them. 1t is said to be the
intention of the Great Western to adopt
that method of Signalling the opening
of its new Omaha extension next
month. Other roads will be compelled
to meet the Great Westerns action.
Placing on sale such ticket would
settle the interchangeable mileage trou-
bic. A fiat rate of cents a mile for
either individual or bearer ticket OF
any form would wipe out interchangea-
Ole IiliIedSe l1ChelS u any anu every
form, as nobody would buy a 1000 mile
book at IN: cents mile and wait for
his refund of " of u cent a mile until
the whole 1000 miles were used up
when he could get an individual mile
age ticket of 1000 miles at cents a
mile flat, good for anybody who wished
to use it.
While the new mileage ticket can be
purchased and used by anybody, the
sale of the Interchangeable mileage
ticket is to be restricted to commercial
travellers. The main object of those
urging the adoption of a new form of
interchangeable mileage was to prevent
the general public from securing the
reduced rates. it having been their
complaint that too many people, who
are not commercial travellers, were Sc
curing reduced rates under the present
system.
1t is not believed that the railroads
will suffer serious loss by adopting the
2 cent mile fiat rate. as it will I'M
doubtedly stimulate traffic considera-
bly, and also do away with the necessity
of selling excursion rates of a fare and
one-third. as a fare and one-third for
the round trip is practically 2 cent a
mile rate.
