CUT YOUR WHEAT.
Elevator Companies Urge Farmers to Harvest
Every Bushel Possible.

Elevator Companies Urge Farmers to Harvest
Every Bushel Possible.
Hankinson News: B. V. Apfeld,
local agent of the Atlantic Elevator
company, went down to Minneapolis
this week to consult with his COM
pany on the present wheat outlook,
and was armed with samples from
half dozen fields, including some of
the poorest in this territory. The
following telegram received yester-
day by John r. Jones is self explana-
tory:
Wheat samples brought in by Apfeld this
morning have value from milling stand
point and will bring more money than
some people think. Don't let farmers
neglect to cut it. We will try and have
good seed wheat on hand to exchange for il
on fair basis.-Atlantic Elevator Company.
Mr.. Apfeid returned this morning
and informs the News that the five
samples he took down were mixed
together and placed on the tables at
the Board of Trade, with the result
that an offer of IS cents per bushel
was made for the lot. This was of
course on supposition that the
sample was from a car lot, and the
offer was made in good faith. Ex-
perts who examined it say the wheat
will do nicely for linking" at
terminal elevators aud with the
market as at present will bring from
SOC to 75c right here in Hankinson.
Grain so far threshed is yielding
from six to twelve bushels per acre
and farmers cannot afford to let their
grain stand under present market
conditions. Owing to the scarcity of
wheat thruout the country even
the poorest grade will command a
good price,.
If you have any fields that are
uncut see Mr.. Apfeld before aband-
oning them. It may mean good
bunch of money to you.

1t is estimated the yield on this

per acre. It is hurt some by the
rust, but the farmers who are for
tunate enough to raise it this year
are very we'll satisfied.
There are many others who have

Q. D. Taylor, Clerk of the City Board of Health of Jacksonville, Fla, has occupied that position for the Last ten years. In recent letter to the Peruna -Drug Mfg. Co.,, he expresses his approval of their famous catarrh remedy Peruns in the following words:
 "The health of the poor of large city is always question of vital interest not only to the city officials but to every citizen. It has been a source of much satisfaction to me to find that so large a number of working people in moderate circumstances have accepted Peruna as their family medicine. It has cured a large number of cases especially of ca tarrh of the head, lungs and stomach and building up the general health if cannot fail but prove help and blessing to any community where it is generally adopted and used. l have found it an honest reliable remedy and am pleased to endorse it."-C. D. Taylor, Clerk. Board of Health.

HURT SHOT AT
 BREWSTER FLEEING.
Former Claims Brewster Had Written an Insulting Letter
 to His Wife.

Redfield, Sept. 7. Oscar Hurt, who claims to be a resident of Little Rock, became involved in a shooting affray with Arthur Brewster about two miles south of this place this morning about ' o'clock. Hurt fired at Brews- ter, but the shot missed him and struck negro, inficting a severe wound.
 Hurt came to Redfeld from Little Rock last night, and early this morning went to blaming mill south of this place, where Brewster was working as fore man. Brewster commenced to run when he saw Hurt, and the latter opened fire with a 44-cal- iber revolver. Brewster was not harmed, but one of the shots struck negro bystander on the head. The wound was painful, but was not thought to be seri- ous.
 Hurt claims that the trouble arose through a letter of an in- sulting character which Brewster is alleged to have sent to Hurt s wife, and which Hurt says he has in his possession. Hurt claims he would not have shot Brewster had he not tried to run away.
 Hurt was arrested and placed under $100 bond to appear in Justice Harnell's court.

MAJORITY CONTINUE
 AGAINST LICENSE.
Prohibitionists Hay Have Major ity in Popular Vote for First Time Van Bu-
 ren Goes Dry.

Little Rock, Sept. 8. .- No little interest attaches to the election returns relative to liguor license in the various counties. While the figures are as yet incomplete it is certain that majority of the counties in the state have aligned on the mo license'' side. Two years ago forty-four out of seventy-five counties voted against license.
 Three large counties, Independ- ence, Hemstead and Craighead, voted no license this year. Two years ago they went for license. The result of the vote last Mon- day is that there will be no sa- looms in Batesville, Hope and Jonesboro after Jan. 1 next. The latest information from Van Bu- ren is that Crawford county went
 dry" Monday. This is another change from the alignment of two years ago.
 Each county is government by it's own vote on the question on license, but as a matter of inter- est the total vote in the state for and against license is footed up every two years. In 1902 the to- tai vote for license in the entire state was 58, 545, and the total against license was 54,935. This mo license" has made gains, and will probably show majori- ty in the state on the popular vote.

 Mrs. Sarah G. Hogben of 142 Edge wood avenue will sail for Liverpool to- day on the giant steamship Cedric. This will be her twentieth trip across the Atlantic. She is well known in this city where she has lived the most of her time with the exception of that spent in crossing the ocean and ill England.

She is a most interesting conversationalist, and can relate in a very interesting manner many incidents that have occurred dur ing the early days of her long life. The trip is being taken 50 that she may once more meet her family and relatives who reside in London, and for the purpose Of once more enjoying the Christmas cheer of Old England.

 The board Of finance wielded the knife in all the departments except those which are provided for by char ter and which cannot be changed The department of charities and correction got the axe one of the heaviest. This department wanted $113, ,756.29 and it is allowed $84,334, or $29, ,422.29 less than was asked for. This department asked for money to erect a hospital for poor consumptives, and it is the cutting out of this entire item by the board of h- nance which makes the appropriation so much less than asked for.
 The department of public works is another victim to the cut down. h. stead of getting the $S37,S4O.SS which it asked for, 1t gets $211. .2O3, or $126,637. .S3 Less than it wants.
