SIOUX FALLS, S. n. Dec 2S.-
Julia May Clifford, wife of Bob
Fitzsimmons. ex-champion pugilist.
Is here for the avowed purpose of
securing n divorce. She arrived on
Monday and became the guest of the
Cataract Hotel. which has housed
80 meny divorces. But she failed
to put her name on the register
She attempted TO conceal her ident-
ity and succeeded in doug 30 for
two days. Her manner led to the
surmiac that she was seeking Il d.
vorce. and this suspicion was con.
flrmed today, when she was seen in
consultation with lawyer.
In response to a direct inquiry she
acknowledged her identity and frank
~ avowed she was there for the
purpose of obtaining divorce
She WIS accompanied by no human,
boing. not even maid. a white
spitz dog, which she has owned for
more than year Ia constantly with
her. She brought five trunks and
and rented one OF the best suites
IN the hotel. She seems TO have
plenty of money and to be delighted
at the prospect of divorce

Although she denied that the out.

O'Brlen had anything to do with
her decision TO obtain a divorce. she
did not deny that she didn't start

CONDITION OF APATHY
TRADE WAITING UNTIL TIME
BUYERS AND SELLERS GET
INTO LINE.
Slump of Two Cents a BusheI Occurs
at Tacoma-Little Advance Buy
ing in the Interior.

There is a condition of apathy pre-
vailing in the spot market for wheat.
If there were old crop to be obtained
it would meet with a ready demand at
a figure 1Oc higher than that offered
for new crop in the export market
today, but warehouses are bare and
there is nothing of consequence to be
obtained in the interior. In conse-
auence the trade is awaiting the time
when buyers and sellers come more
nearly into line with regard to the
prices to be obtained for this sea-
sons product, says the West Coast
Trade. Locally there has been an
other slump of &c in quotations,
bringing offerings more nearly into
line with the level of European prices,
but there are still special conditions
which make operations on this basis of
75c for club and 7Sc for bluestem of
rather light proportions. Principal
among the deterrent features. Of
course, is the fact that growers are
entirely too busy with the harvest to
market their crop, while there is a
tendency to await developments in the
California and Oriental demand be-
fore contracting. In the former mar
ket there mas been considerable Of a
softening tone during the week, and
it is not so pronounced a bull factor as
heretofore, though there is no doubt
that the Golden State will require con-
siderable wheat from the Pacific
northwest before the season is over,
Some little advance buying is report
ed at the interior, and as there are
some growers who make it a practice
of selling at least a portion of their
crop Immediately after threshing,
something will be doing in the mar
kets within the next few weeks, but
exporters are laying back on their
oars and making no tonnage engage
ments. There is not great deal of
tonnage in sight for immediate load
ing, but no concern is expressed on
that score, as, with the maintenance
of the present rate of 26s Sd, it is not
improbable that the steamers will cut
some figure in the transporting of
grain this season.
Harvesting is progressing under
very favorable conditions, and the ten
iency continues to minimize the re-
suits of damage to the crop. Two esti-
mates made during the week place the
results at over 100000 for this
state, the state grain commission CIV
ing the opinion that the aggregate will
go to $4,000, 900 bushels. This is from
5000 900 to 100000 above the total
predicted by commercial authorities,
and owing to the fact that conditions
are variable, even in the same locality,
it is very difficult to arrive at an ac-
curate forecast of the probable yield,
though the outcome is conceded to
show greater promise than two weeks
ago, with fair possibility of going
to a new record mark.

CITY AND COUNTRY CONDITIONS
Typhoid and Malaria Are Really Coun
try Diseases.

While il is true that both malaria
and typhoid prevail in large cities, it
is none the less true that they may
with a certain degree of accuracy be
termed country diseases, that is to
say, rather specifically, diseases Of
the farm and the small village. NAL
aria, in fact, has been called by med
ical men country disease. Swampy
regions do not occur in cities, or, at
all events, only in the suburbs, where.
as they occur commonly in the coun-
try. Open Streams with side pools
of still water are found in the coun-
try, and it is in such small, still
pools, and in more or less permanent
but small accumulations of water,
that the malaria mosquito breeds
This mosquito, therefore, does not
accommodate itself well to city condi-
tions, but it is found almost every.
where in the country except possibly
in very dry localities and at certain
high elevations. Even in dry regions
it sometimes abounds, especially
where there is a definite rainy sea-
son, or where the land is irrigated.
Irrigating bitches are prolific. breed
ing places for mosquitoes, including
the malaria kind. Malaria in cities
as rule, is found only with persons
who have contracted it in the country
or in the suburbs, although with some
cities having marshy places on their
borders malaria belt may exist, the
extent of which depends upon the
direction and force of the prevailing
summer breezes, especially the night
breezes. For example, such condi-
tion as this accounts for the prevail
ence Of malaria in certain portions of
the city of Washington before the re-
clamation of the Potomac Flats, which
lie to the south of the city, the pre-
vailing night breezes of the summer
being southern.

HEARING IN THE CASE
AGAINST THE SANTA FE

from cents per hundred pounds to
17k cents per hundred pounds, and
the weight of the gallon has increas-
ed from six and four tenths pounds
to seven and four tenths pounds.
If there is contract between the
Prairie Oil & Gas Co. and Knapp, he
did not know the details of it and had
here. At the time of the beginning
of the delivery of Knapp oil to the
Prairie Oil & Gas Co., through their
pipe line, Knapp's business averaged
from rs to 35 cars per month. The
railroads allowed Knapp three-fourths
of one cent per mile for the use OF
the cars. The change in the weight OF
the gallon made a difference of $4S in
the rate between Chanute and Kansas
City. The rates were advanced from
10 cents per hundred pounds to II
cents per hundred pounds in August
1904
Since that advance was made Knapp
has made no shipments by rail.
The most important part Of the tes-
timony was some that tended to show
that the advance in freight rates alb
solutely drove the Knapp tank cars off
the railroads, also that the Standard
delivers oil, barrel for barrel which is
received and transported through the
pipe lines of the Prairie Oil & Gas Co.
The attorneys for the railroads OBJ
iected time and again to the testi-
mony as to the advance in rates and
the effect of the advance, but the OBJ
jections were over-ruled in every
case

POLICE RESCUE
YOUNG GIRL
Was Taken in Tow BY a Married
Man-officers Spot Them and
Send the Girl Home.

Send the Girl Home.
The vigilance Of Canton police
doubtless saved young New Phila-
delphia girl from getting into one of
the many dives that houiish in this
city. During the day Sergeant Rib
let discovered a young girl, evidently
stranger in the city, and only
about 16 or II years of age, wander
ing about the streets with a Canton
man of questionable character. The
man has wife, but is not living with
her. Riblet kept his eyes upon the
two until he was relieved from duty
and he then turned the case over to
officer Zimmerman.
This officer became suspicious, es-
pecially as he knew the man, and he
went up to the girl and asked her what
she was doing in the city. She said
that she had come here to get work.
Zimmerman asked her If she knew
the fellow she was with and she said
she did not, but that she had asked
him the location of certain street,
and he had offered to go with her. In
stead of taking her where she wanted
to go, he piloted her down into the
jungles and tried to get her to go with
hi ! into some of the places. She re-
fused to go and came back up to the
square, the man staying with her.
Zimmerman told the man to go
about his business or he would run
him in. He then told the girl to take
Massillon car and so home or she
would find herself in custody She
took car and word was sent to Mas
sillon officers TO see that she was sent
home.

Mrs. Chadwick is putting in her
