WHEAT AT So.
This Is the Prediction by the Bulls on
Chicago Change.

SntCd9O Sndn9e.
Chicago, Sept. l2.-"Wheat at 50 a
bushel before next Man." was roared
by the bulls today on the board of trade.
At the opening of the market there was
quite an excited demand for wheat with
few traders venturing to sell. The price
for May delivery was from $l.llR to
Slip and for delivery for the present
month from Sl07 to $l.08. Those who
wished to buy shouted bids of cents a
bushel above the prices prevailing at the
close of the market Saturday, and the
quantity that anyone would sell even
at such tempting advance was ex
tremely limited. The agricultural bureau
at Washington, through information fur
nished by its army of crop reporters
scattered throughout every wheat-grow-
ing state in the country, issued a re-
port Saturday afternoon that, according
to the bulls, confirmed the worst fears
regarding the lamentable lass to the
spring wheat crop by the black rust.
OF winter and spring wheat produced
this year in the United States, it was
contended there is barley enough for
bread and seed if every bushel of it was
available which is not possible, and the
country is, therefore, face to face with
the necessity of bringing in foreign
wheat to help keep the wolf from the
door till another harvest shall have
been raised.

KICKED BY A HORSE.
Bicycle Rider Meets With an Acct
dent on Front Street.

y
a Won LIGHT, who clerks in the store
of l.. Salet, met with painful accident
last evening, and he is lucky to have es.
capped with his life. He was riding a
bicycle at about nine o'clock, on Front
street, and when near the city hall ran
into horse and buggy driven by Peter
Sanger. The bicycle passed between the
wheel and the shaft, and he fell to the
ground in such q position that his head
was just behind the horses heels. Mr..
Sanger stopped the horse at once, but
the animal was frightened and kicked
Won LIGHT in the head three times be-
fore the man could be dragged out by
the police, who witnessed the accident.
Won LIGHTS scalp was badly cut up,
but he fortunately escaped serious in
Jury. He was confined to his bed today,
and it will be several days before he will
be able to be around again.
Mr.. Sanger was driving on the right
side of the street, and Won LIGHT was
going in an opposite direction. There
was plenty of room for Won LIGHT to
have passed, but he evidently was afraid
that there was not, and endeavored to
cross in front of the horse and partial
ly lost control of the wheel. Those who
saw the accident say that it was un-
avoidable upon Mr.. Sanger's part.

BADLY DlsFIGURED.
and Prosecution Follows.
From Tuesdays Daily.

John LOOMS presents a sorry sight as
the result of an encounter with William
Fricke, who runs threshing crew near
the city. He went to work with the
crew yesterday on the Cooper farm, and
his coonskin coat having disappeared
from the place where he put it, he twit-
ted some of the crew about taking it.
He states that this angered Fricke, who
kicked him in the right eye as he sat on
a pile of lumber, and kicked and pounded
and scratched his head and body so that
he looked as though he had gone through
the threshing machine. He states that
two of his ribs are also broken.
Loomis returned to the city last eve
ming, and this morning got out war
rant for the arrest of Fricke, charging
him with assault in the third degree.
Fricke was arraigned this forenoon
and pleaded guilty to the charge. He
said that when Loomis could not find his
coat he used abusive language toward
the other men in the crew, and the far
mer on whose place the machine was
told Loomis to go and said that if he
did not go the machine would have to
go. The machine had given trouble, and
the talk of Loomis added to this irritat-
ed the entire crew, so that they were
all ready to fight. He ordered Loomis to
90, to avoid trouble, and when he did
not, he went after him.
Loomis was asked by the court how
this was, and he denied that he had
used abusive language to more than
one of the men, and he had only called
him liar. He had said nothing to
Fricke, whom he had supposed to be a
friend.
Owing to Fricke's heretofore good rep
utation, the fine was not made a large
one, and Judge Plymat sentenced him to
pay $40 and costs or to go to jail for
twenty days. He paid the fine.

Moore's principal point against some of
my forecasts is that they do damage by

against his system is that he does not
know how to forecast beyond SO hours
while two thirds of my 80 days in adj
vance forecasts are practically correct.
The temperatures of September will
continue to average high and killing
q
frosts will come late. My forecasts of
good crops as a general average will be
verified and if the eastern war should
suddenly terminate, prices of the cereals
would probably tumble to lower levels.
My readers should remember, however,
that the millionaire spectators ring has
greater power in manipulating prices of
the cereals than war can possibly have
and chances are two to one against those
who are not in that ring. There is real
ly not one chance in hundred for an
outsider to make money by any kind of
dealing in cereals.
Not much rain is expected till near
the last of September.

A. L. Doeg of Winnebago Writes
Of McCIeary and His
Tariff Views.
He Refers to the Auctioning Off
of the P0st0ffice at
Winnebago.
Time People Of District Seriously
Considered Change Of
Congressman.

Winnebago City, Mimi, Sept. IL, 'O4.
Editor Mankato Free Press, Mankato,
MINI. Dear Sir: The tariff views
of Mr.. James Thompson McCleary are
not in line with this day and age of
the world These United States of
America are progressing all the time.
Conditions are all the time changing.
Conditions that were existing ten or
twelve years ago and were then consid-
cred strictly in line are strictly out OF
date and out of line in the commercial
world as it now exists. The tariff on
lumber is directly the cause of the
depletion of the vast white pine for
ests of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michi-
gan, and in few years will place us
at the mercy of the lumber kings of the
Canadian northwest; and such of our
citizens who combine and form the lum-
Der trusts, who employ such men as
McCleary. Again Mr. James Thomp-
son McCleary's views on rec
iprocity are out of line so far as
Canada is concerned. For this reason.
Northwest Canada is fast being settled
up with people who are moving from the
states and who would be glad to be able
to enjoy the privileges of exchanging
duty ranging from 80 to 60 per cent
ad valorem as now exists. On the other
hand we are denying our own flesh and
blood that which our fOrefathers fought,
bled and died for in the years gone by.
In conclusion, let me say that it is up
to the common people by their vote to
call halt to the combinations of CAPT.
tai to exact from the public an lmreas-
enable amount of profit for the capital
invested. And when congressman will
allow anud recommend that public Of
ficer and public trust, the spells of
politics to be put up at public auction
and sold to the highest bidder regardless
of the wishes of the people who have
stood by him through thick and thin,
it is high time for that prosecuted peo-
pie to transfer their loyalty and allegi-
ance to some man whom they have con-
fidence will play fair and not set him
self up as the god of the second congress
sional district, Yours truly,
A. L. DOEG.

he means of doing SO much good for

the means of doing so much good for
either.
Mr.. Miller is very highly spoken of
by his neighbors. This is one Of the
best tests of mans character. 1t can
truly be said of Bert Miller that he has
but very few enemies. 1t is noticeable
that throughout Rock county there is
not person doing anything in opposi-
ton to his candidacy and this speaks
volumes.
Mr.. Miller always has been one of the
staunch republicans of the northwest.
He was a delegate to the republican ma
tional convention in 1888, and in addi-
ton to that he has attended the state
convention as delegate frequently. The
attempt of the present representative in
congress from the second district to east
shadow upon the republicanism of Her
bert j. Miller is resented by the lat
ter's hundreds of warm friends through
out the district. Be it remembered that
Bert Miller was waging a battle for re-
publican principles long before Mr.. Nc
Cleary decided that the republican party
was the one he himself should tie to.
The memory of man can run back to the
time when the "schoolmaster" was
rank freetrader.
Mr.. Miller's home circle is made very
pleasant by lovely wife, bright ener-
getic lady who has done much to tighten
her husbands many burdens; two ac-
complished daughters, one twenty and
the other seventeen years of age. These
ladies are leaders in society circles in
Luverne, and are much thought of by
all classes of people. Mr.. Miller and his
family are members of the Unitarian
church. Mr.. Miller is member of the
Masonic order.
No dark spot sullies the character and
reputation of Bert Miller. He is possess
ed of that rugged honesty which is so
much admired by men. His name was
never connected with any transaction
that could not be opened to the bright
glare of the monday sun. He would not
lend himself to the carrying out of any
deal that would result in harm to the
peoples best interests. He is absolute
ly incompatible. He cannot be cojoaled
nor Illuminated by corporations nor will
he allow himself to become the tool of
designing men. He is just the character
of man that should grace congress
ional seat. He is one of those kind of
men who are said to "stand without
hitching." Mr.. Miller is a man of signal
ability and should he be sent to con-
gress he will be able to accomplish
something for his district. He will not
spend the greater portion of his time
writing "nauseating" letters. Mr.. Miller
is in favor of tariff revision along lines
that will benefit the people, not the
trusts. He is entitled to the confidence
of the republicans of the second district.

Good Town To Rest In.
From TUESDAYS Daily.

Hon. John n. Hall of Mankato spent
Thursday in this place as a guest at
the Crystal house. Whenever Mr.. Hall
becomes weary and needs a little rest he
comes to Lake Crystal and spends a day.
Mr.. Hall is now among the very few
old citizens in Mankato. His connection
with that city in its early days is in
tefesting history; it is one of hard
work with little or no compensation.
When he was cashier of the First Ma
tional bank of Mankato thirty-fve years
ago, we did about all the job printing
for the bank. He was always pleased
with the work, and from that time on
our friendship has been mutual. We
are always pleased to see Mr. Hail.

Would Like Mankat0 to Grant

Road to Be Built From st Pc

Plans a Line Connecting With

From Tuesdays Daily.

Col. U. P. Hord, of Hord & Keator, the
firm that still holds street car fran
chise in Mankato, expiring Nov. &c, was
in the city today. He had an interview
with representative of The Free Press
The colonel has high hopes for the street
car future of Mankato. He leaves to-
night for Chicago, but expects to be
back in the city after a few weeks, per
haps accompanied by his partner, Mr..
KeatOr. He will then ask that the Man.
kato city council give his franchise a
new lease of life.
Col. Hord related that he was at st.
Peter last night and at his request the
council of that city granted a years ex-
tension of time on his firms franchise
in that city. He says that A. c. Miller
of Chicago and Aurora, together with
his associates, have agreed to finance
an electric road from st. Peter to the
iiiudle Vi NdSold. IlitI loau Is W De
commenced in the near future.
If the city of Mankato will reserve a
place for him, he will be back here soon
to ask for the extension. If this ex-
tension is refused, Hord & Keator will
find it necessary to buid towards Min
neapolis from st. Peter Senator Cal
houn of Minneapolis suggested to Col.
Hord, while the latter was in Minneap-
oils, that Hord & Keator buy the C. p.
Walker electric tramway, running from
Minneapolis eight miles this way to
Hopkins. That road is for sale. That
road could be used in the connection of
Minneapolis with this section of the
state Mr.. Walker himself owns and
operates this road at present. A num-
Der of wealthy gentlemen of Mimeap
oils have signifed their willingness to
assist in the purchase of this road for
the purpose of making connections with
st. Peter and Mankato.
Col. Hord declares that he is friendly
with the Willard people. He hopes they
will build their interurban line. He de-
clares that road not hurt but would be
an aid to his own. The more interur-
ban roads there are running into Man
kato, the better it will be for the city
and for these roads themselves, which
will get the benefit of the increase in
business that they cause.

make it cheaper, here in this country
where we must build shelter out of lum-
Der for everything that breathes, the peo-
pie are entitled to the reduction. If
lumber is dearer in foreign markets, then
the tariff placed upon it is useless sur
.plusage and should be taken off. Not 10
per cent of the republicans of this state
believe in tariff on lumber. Yet 10 per
cent get what they want and 20 per cent
get it in the neck. If every republican
in Minnesota who believes that the tariff
on lumber should be removed, would de-
clare that they will not vote for candi-
date for office who in any way influences
national legislation unless he pledged
himself to actively work for the removal
of such tariff, it would be removed be-
fore the Christmas holidays. We know
that the great mass of republicans are
with us on this proposition. We have
mingled and held heart to heart converse
with more individual voting republicans
than any man in the state during the
last eight years. We will make the
'standpatters' and tariff boosters of
Minnesota fair proposition. They must
select their man and with him we will
make a personal canvass of every repub-
lican voter of the state, and for every
one who believes that there should be
no revision of the tariff lumber sched-
nles, / will pay him five dollars if they
will guarantee me a years subscription
to the Herald at $3.50 year for every
one that does not. '.-Sauk Center Herald,
