COTTON CARGO AFIRE.
All Efforts to Extinguish Flames Are
So Far Unsuccessful.

New Orleans, June 8.-The cotton in
the hold of the Leyland liner Manhattan
was found afre while the ship was load
ing at Chalmette wharf last night Af-
ter an all-night fight by the crew the
ship was towed down to the city and
the fire department given a chance. Di-
vers were sent down TO break out the
cotton, but all plans failed to prevent
the spread The matches were battened
tonight and steam poured into the holds,
and II the fire is not out by morning the
holds will be flooded and the cargo taken
out. The ship was loading for Antwerp
and had about 5000 bales of cotton aboard,
besides lumber and other freight, not
yet having completed loading.
1t is thought about 1900 bales Of cotton
will be badly damaged. The cargo is
insured The Manhattan took fire at
sea about eighteen months ago and had
to put into Charleston.
Agent Sanders attaches mystery to the
fact that the cotton found afire had been
slowed eight days.

the company had made all arrangements
for the establishment of a wireless tele-
graph systena on ALL ztfains running be-
tween Chicago and st. Louis and that
. eventually the innovation would be ex-
tended to the entire system.
That the wireless telegraph can be used
on fast moving trains with entire satis-
faction was demonstrated today by the
Alton road when messages were sent from
Chicago to the officials of the road trav-
cling on the limited train running be-
tween Chicago and st. Louis. The observa-
tion car on the train was equipped with
wireless apparatus, and while running at
the rate of fifty miles an hour messages
were received from President FELTON, In
the general offices in Chicago and replies
sent back without the slightest hitch.
So successfully was the experiment that

This is the first time that the wireless
system has ever been used to communi-
cate with persons on a moving train"
said President FELTON, tonight 1.-THE ex-
pertinent was so successful that in very
short time we will be handling all our
train orders over the wireless system.
BY this system the dispatcher will be able

Next Years Native Lamb Crop.

A heavy crop of native lambs is as,
sured next spring. The farm belt has
been stocking up with breeding sheep
as never before. Ewes by the hun
bred thousand have been transferred
from western ranges to farms. Practi-
caHy NO eve lambs have been market
ed and the usual fall crop of ewes with
which packers have been accustomed
to fill their freezers has not material
lied. While this years crop of eve
lambs is not available for next" sea-
sons production the conserving of
breeding energy has been enormous.
Demand for ewes has not slackened
as the season advanced and promises
to continue strong until December.
Every old eve with a decent mouth
has been saved this year, prices of
both wool and mutton seemingly justi-
flying this policy. ~
Into territory east of Chicago an in
creditable number of breeding sheep
have gone during the past six months,
while buyers south of the Ohio river
have been equally active. Michigan,
Indiana, Ohio, New York, Tennessee
and Kentucky will contribute heavily
to the native lamb crop of 1906.

A Close Call.

& Fairmount News: This morning
about 2:15 o'clock, two young men,
who have been working here during
harvest and threshing were at the
depot waiting for the train to take
them home were taken a shot at by
someone. The young men were leav-
ing the waiting room to go out on the
platform, just as they were going out
the door two shots were fred by some
one on the outside, the bullets taking
effect in the door casing within a few
inches of the young men. The shoot.
ing is mystery as the action of the
shooter could hardly mean a hold up
Some people think it was done by
some person who had it in for the
young men, others think it might have
been intended for the night agent
There is no telling who the shots were
intended for, but the young men had {
very narrow escape and they were ter
ribly frightened over the occurrence.

Breeding Two-YearOIds.

Breeding Two-YearOIds.
The Breeders Gazette says: It is
better to breed a two than three-year-
old f1lly. A yearling filly that weighs
900 pounds now is growthy and breed
ing her next spring will not make her
small which is an objection to the
breeding of backward two-year-old.
Mate her with a mature horse, not a
young one, for that will make the aver
age age q mature one. Breeding a
three-year-old fiNy brings her foal at q
time when dentition is most distrub-
ing. Febrile conditions affect the milk
unfavorably and foal and dam both
suffer in consequence. Breed the
growthy two-year-old and then do not
breed her the next year but work her
ais a four-year-old. With good feed
and carrying no foal she can suckle a
long time without injury and turn of
a fine weanling at six or even seven
months.
Some wonderfully good horses have
been produced by FLIES bred at two
years Of age and the practice has the
sanction of some very successful
breeders, not only of trotter' but draft
stock.

Il y p
Minot Reporter: J. 4 H. Swart, form,
l.erly Of Louisville, was arrested In the
Granville postofice about 8 o'clock Fri
day night on the charge OF forgery.
The crime for which he was accused
was committed in Louisville, KY, sew
eral years ago. and 1t was by accident
that his whereabouts was discovered
Swart was in Minneapolis some time
ago looking for work. and was hired
by an employment house to come out
to Granville and go to work for Nc
Donald, proprietor of the Owl restaur-
ant at Granville. When he arrived
there he gave his name as ]. H.
Wheeler "A letter arrived at the post
ONCE for him a few days ago, but by
mistake was given to another man by
the name of Wheeler living out on one
OF the rural routes. He opened the
letter and upon reading discovered it
was not for him. The contents. how
ever, were in the nature of a warning
to SwaTt from his wife telling him
that another of his forgeries had
turned up in Louisville and for him to
be on the lookout as the authorities
were renewing their efforts to locate
him. Wheeler, after reading the let
ter, took 1t to the Granville banker
and he wired the Louisville bank in
regard to SWart He r,oooivad ,x,,o,d
that he undoubtedly was the man they
wanted and the arrest followed. Swart
was taken to Towner on the flyer Fri
day night, where he will be held until
officers arrive from Kentucky to take
him in charge
The forgeries for which he is wanted
were made on several louisville par
ties, as well as on the bank of that
city, and amounted in all to something
like $4,000.
