WHEAT w ALKING
UP The LADDER
sept" SOLD TO-DAY Sc ABOVE
YESTERDAYS CLOSE.
Damage Reports and n Sharp Foreign
Advance Send Prices Up Strongly
old Traders Who Played for
Break Are Left In the Lurch.

Wheat made another sensational
squirt today, Minneapolis September
selling at CSC. This was Sc up from
yesterdays close ana, Sac up from
yesterdays low point. Big buying or
ders came into the pit. Lots of 50,-
traders who had profits and thought
it time to get out for a setback. Now
buying orders more than offset the
selling and probably 100000 bush
els of September was absorbed without
breaking the market more than &c.
Then when the pressure was off, its
natural resili ency carriedbit to new
Jones had out a bullish#report and
this started it, Then crop reports be-
gan coming in again from Minnesota
and the Dakotas telling of the spread
of rust.
A Hungarian Advance.
The sensation of the day was an
advance in Budapest equal to Sc a
bushel. Many foreign markets had
been closed since Friday Meanwhile
Minneapolis was on the rise, other
American markets following. Whether
the European markets would follow
was a question, but this was soon set
tied when early cables showed Ant
Werp, Liverpool, London and Paris
all higher and Berlin up 23sc. Now
that the foreign markets are not only
following, but. as in the case of Buda-
pest, are running away, the bulls
say there is no telling what wheat
may do here. &
Old Traders Fooled.
Many old-time traders, who usually
take on big lots on a bull market,
have been left on this advance. When
wheat passed 92c they played it for
a break, and according to all ordinary
rules Of the pit break was in order.
But they did not calculate upon the
buying power Of the country. Orders
to buy piled in from the rust-infected
districts and carried the market
straight up. One broker estimates
that buying orders for 100000 bush
els September wheat were in hand
yesterday and today that were un-
filled, the orders being placed for ex-
ecution on a break. One of the big
gest traders on the floor sold out his
line Of 100000 September yesterday,
intending to buy back on a setback,
but has been left.
While nothing especially new came
from the wheat fields today, the fact
that the country is buying wheat here
is taken to indicate that the rust is
spreading and soaring the farmers.

That Detective John Morrissey is

that this is the second time such

TAXPAYERS CASH UP
June Settlement Makes Record Showing
In Real Estate.

y . E 4
Charles F. Nickels, first assistant coun-
ty treasurer, has completed his state
ment Of the June settlement of the real
estate tax; The total collections from
this source In May substantially exceed
last years settlement and are, In fact
the largest on record in Hennepin or any
county in Minnesota.
The total collected tax is $1,S51, 9o4.67. OF
this immense sum $1,75S,9O445 is city
and $92,047.22 is county tax. OF the city
tax $142,173.67 goes into the state treas
ury, $143, .23 belongs to the county and
$1,473,467.55 to the city.
The tax rate in, this county Is higher
this year than last and this would in part
account for the exceptionally large re-
ceipts. This is offset, however, by the
fact that never before since it's passage
have so many taxpayers taken advantage
Of the halifax law and paid only the first
half Of their years taxes in May The
real cause Of the large settlement seems
to be therefore in the large percentage
Of the taxpayers who paid up on time.

and Lost 1t.

All his life Ole Froheim of Eau

good fortune to get it back. Last
night, however, he struck the wrong
man and now is out $3.50.
F'roheim stepped into Washington

He believes he is sure of the place,
however, and two men, Andrew Jens-
ted and Gust Bloom, are locked up

In MEMORIAM.

With the passing of the first of May
it again becomes our duty and privilege
to memoriallze the life and death of the
former editor of this paper-J. Fred
Meyers. 1t is constant source of graf
i6cation to know that although six
years have passed since his death his
memory is still green and vivid in the
minds of the many old friends who
knew and loved him, and that MS good
works. his words of wisdom and help
fulness have thus far survived the
effects of time. His sayings are to-day
constantly on the lips OF Denison peo-
pie in all walks of life :and we believe
that they have entered into the life
phils ,phy of hundreds of our people.
His memory too, is still a living pres
ence among the newspaper men of Iowa,
for his independence, his originality,
his broad philosophy, his love of right
and justice and fair play, made him an
honored member of the profession.
Such legacy is the one bequeathed
US, legacy that cannot be squandered
or wasted or turned to bitterness, q
legacy to his family, his friends and
lis community, of which they may all
be proud. Is it too much then that on
the anniversary of his death We should
ask his old-time friends and neighbors
to join with US in honoring his memory
and in resolving to maintain among US
that high standard of citizenship and
love for which he labored
long and we'll?

The formation of military company

DENISON'S LOSS

In the departure of Mr.. and Mrs. j.
L. Mcclellan, Denison meets with more
than ordinary loss. There are many
Weather and more self-important peo-
pie whose absence would mean much
less OF loss 90 our city. They are among
the old tine residents OF our city, and
their going rsfainds us of how few there
are now active In Denison affairs who
were part and parcel OF its activities In
the early 1913, WHEN we first came to
know our little city. Mr.. and Mrs.
Mcclellan have always been known for
their good cit zenship. their loyalty to
their :riends ana their devotion to all
that has been good and helpful for Den
ison. Mrs. Mcclellan had the peculiar
gift as an organizer which is given to
but few, and more and more our people
came to rely Upon her judgment and
unselfsh interest in matters relating
to charities and the semi-public benev-
olences of the community. The poor
felt that they could 60 to her without
humiliation and she was in many in
stances the channel through which
flowed the'private charities of generous
Denison.
Most people are we'll intentioned and
generous hearted, but they are Blind or
indifferent. Mrs. McClellan's was the
eye that directed, that looked after
many of the poor and needy, called at
tention to their wants and saw that
they were filled She remained aloof
from any church organization, not
that she was not christian. but that
she felt herself allied with all creeds
in the common cause of humanity and
did not wish her efforts to be restricted
or confined to any particular class or
creed. 1t must be confessed that the
old soldier had first claim upon the
thoughts of both Mr. and Mrs. McClel-
Ian and we are in position to know that
from their slender means many an old
soldier received relief that they could
lily afford to give. Mr.. Mcclellan has
always been model citizen, honest,
straightforward. manly. He was one
of the old soldiers who acknowledged
that the war might have been won
without him, who talked little of his
personal exploits, but whose life was a
constant example of patriotism and
good citizenship and love of law.
For our part we shall miss them
greatly from the roll of Denison's old
and respected families and we sincerely
hope they may find their daughter i'm
proved in health and that life for them
in California may have many glad COM
pensations.
