the depot the sheriff saw a very tempting
dish Of Strawberries at the lunch counter
and forthwith proceeded to satisfy his hun
ger for the fruit. 1t was not long there
after that his insane ward succeeded In
making his getaway, much to the con-
sternation of the officer who had not yet
finished eating the strawberries. The next
thing was telephone message to the po-
lice station, and Rockhold, in an excited
voice, told Desk Sergeant Heavey, I've
lost a crazy man.. In a short time he ap-
peared at the station and asked for some
assistance in locating his protege whom

operated on at the Presbyterian hospital
Wednesday the surgeons discovered that
he was suffering from malignant can
GER, which is fast eating away his life
The disease had spread so far that no at
tempt was made to remove the cancerous
growth. The wound was closed and dur

life the X-ray treatment will be used to
stay the ravages Of.the disease. At the
utmost DR.. Harper's life cannot span
more than year. and one of the operat-
ing surgeons declared that six months is
the more likely period of his existence.
Wednesday night DR.. Harper suffered
great pain, though he slept at times. The
surgeons who attended him did not be-
lieve it best to impart to the patient the
sentence of death they had read at the
operation. DR.. Charles McBurney, the
famous New York surgeon. who oper-

was shot at Buffalo, welded the knife
at the operation. He was aided by Drs

Wheat Reserve.

From private reports received by the
Daily Market Record from correspon-
dents throughout the Northwest,
whose estimates during the past two
years have proven very close, it would
appear that some 23.2 per cent Of last

per cent of that of South Dakota was
in farmers hands on Feb l, last
The reports cover large portion of
the wheat growing territory Of the
three states, but there are many sec
tlons from which no reports have been
received up to date. Taking the gov
ernment estimate Of last years
wheat production as a basis to work
on, and which report closely agrees
with the published Market Record fig
ures on last years crop, the amount of
wheat held by farmers Feb. 1, was:
Minnesota, 1886, ,O96 bushels; North
Dakota, 7,451, ,O34 bushels, South Da-
kota, 4,921, ,710 bushels. The amount
of wheat out of farmers hands and
held in interior mills and private and
country elevators, Feb. was:
Minnesota, 4,O45, $50 bushels; North
Dakota, 1,9l4, 500 bushels, and South
