CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Good Day for Trading in Wheat-Corn
and Oats Firm
BY Associated Press.


CHICAGO, May 13.-The wheat mar
ket was strong from the start. AT the
opening July was up A01ac at S53s@
$3.50 There was a rush to buy the
July option, commission houses and
shorts vieing in efforts to secure the
sparing quantities offered. A. sharp ad-
vance at Minneapolis suggesting pos
sible damage to the spring sown crop
by cold, wet weather, was one Of the
vital reasons.
Another factor was the strong Liver
pool cables unusually light shipments
from Australia being largely instrument
tai in causing the advance In the for
eign grain market. Receipts at the
principal grain centers in America We're
very small. Only one car arrived at
Chicago today.
Demand increased as the session ad-
vanced and prices continued to move in
an upward direction. During the last
few minutes Of trading the demand be-
came exceedingly urgent and the mar
ket closed at the highest point of the
day, with July at S51sc.
Influenced by the advance in wheat
the corn market had a strong under
tone. July opened &c higher at 47c,
sold between 46Bc and 47A@47ssc and
closed at the highest point of the day.
Local receipts were fifty cars, none Of
contract grade.
Oats were firm in sympathy with
other grains. July opened unchanged
to shade higher at 29A @29asc to 29asc,
sold between 29Ac and 29%@291sc and
closed at 29%c. Local receipts were
SO cars.
Receipts of live hogs today were
double the amount estimated yesterday
and the unexpected increase in arrivals
had a weakening effect on the pro-
visions market. At the close all of the
July options were off 7hc, pork closing
at $12.4O. lard at $7.271a and ribs at
$72O@Z25.

The Tucson Star continues to in crease the popularity ofMsrkss Smith by misrspresenting him. The latest in the Star against Smith is to the effect that Mir. Smith has written letter from Washington to a member of the legislature asking that no anti -gambli g legislation be had this session. Of course Smith never wrote such letter. He has been too busy fighting the great statehood fight for Arizona in Wash ington to give any attention to the fight being made on the gamblers in Arizona. If it is true, as reported from Washington that the editor of the Star has been writing letters to Wash ington trying to hurt Arizona's chances for statehood it will be known and then admitting that all the Star has ever printed against Smith to be true he would yet be a great benefactor to Aris sona in comparison to the editor of the Star.

for the beginning of the next school
 year will furnish accommodation for
 the present grades being taught in our
 schools.
 But the question of high school for Douglas cannot long be deferred.
 There is need for it now and this need
 will grow more pressing with every passing month. The present schools only take the pupil to a certain point in knowledge; if the higher branches of education is desired it is necessary to send our young boys and girls away from Douglas. The thing now desir- able is high school in Douglas so that the money being sent away from the city for higher education can be kept at home. Douglas must have a fifty thousand dollar school building in the near future znd there is no other oity in Arizona better able to afford such an institution. Our taxa ble prop erty is raidly increasing with he building of greater smelters, carsbops. etc., which means additional homes and greater population in the near future. It is to be hoped that our school trustees will not overlook the high school proposition too long. Sufdcent money is aieady being sent away from Douglas for schooling in the higher branches to justify the very early consideration of the Douglas high school.

A GOOD BIL

A till intrcduced in the legislatur by Hon. N. E. Bailey to exempt Y. M. c. 4. buildings from taxation should become law. Douglas is now assured of the first Y. Nj. c. A. building in the territory and it is known that the asso- citation is contempls ting other build ings in the territory, one at Phoenix and perhaps one at Tucson. The building and maintenance of these buildings are for the accommodation of the public, they are for the betterment of.mankind, they are for the purpose of attracting young men into paths which will insure both moral and physical culture which will lead to better conditions in the community where they are located. While the Y. Nj. c. A. has no connec tion with any church, still it's work is in har- mony with Christia nifty and is for the improvement of public morals. For the same reason that church buildings are exempted from tax ation the build- ings erect ed and operated by the Young Mems Christian Association should also be exempt and it is to be hoped that Mir. Bailey's bill will be promptly converted into a w.-International- American.

The sale of the bonds yesterday, the proceeds of which are to be used in building two new school houses in Douglas to cost Sl 5000 is but another evidence of energy which has been always displayed by the people of Ari- zons in providing the very best school facilitates for the children of the terri tory. Only last weeg in Bisbee the people voted on the proposition to issue s75, 1000 in bonds to be used in build ing high school snd it was carried almost without opposition. Douglas already has one of the best school buildings in the territory and the additional. ones which will be read,

TAXING MIN ES


 A bill, or in fact several of them. t' tax the gross output of mines, hal bobbed up in the legislature It seemi to be the idea of many representatives especially those who are from counties sn which mining is not conducted, that the mining companies do not pay enough taxes. In some instances they may be correct, but as a general thing the mining companies return their property fairly as do the other big companies of the territory, especially the railroads. Mining companies do not object to any fair method of taxa ton, but bill such as the Wilson bill which opposes to tax all their prop ety as heretofore, and then lay special tax on their output. is manifestly un- fair on it's face. because it is in effect a double tax. It would be just as fair to tax the railroads on the'r property, and then tax their gross receipts. It is a most difficult matter to get at 8 fair valuation for the ta king of mines and mining property. Some mines
 
 may be heavy shippers and st the same time losing money, while other proper ties, which ship less, may be making big money. To assess a mine at it's supposed value would also be most difiult, as it would require the opin- ion of an expert, or several of them. and they never agree, then again mine that was Hooking well." when the assessment was made. might be out of ore when the tax paying time came around. The net value of a mine changes with every days work At one time it might have little or no value, and a few months later it might be regular bonanza. It is also diff cult to say what the improvements of a mine are actually worth. If they are in an isolated locality, though costing hundred thousand dollars, it is possible that they might have no real value, unless the mine was mak- ing money. It was suggested by Gov ernor Brodie in his message, that commission be appointed to gather stass 8 tisics during the next two years, and formulate some general plan for the taxing of mines which would 5- equi;- able aud fair to all interests. Tn fact it might be a wise measure to enlarge the scope of the commission so as to include all companies operating in the territory. It IS understood that the through lines of railroad operating in the territory, are returning their prop efty for several thousand dollars per mile less in Arizona than in New Mex foo, while there is practically no differ ence in the construction of the roads, or the volume of business done. There is DO good reason why the legislature should single out the mining compa- nies for higher taxation and at the same time let the railroads of lighter than in adjoining states and territo- fies.-Coppper Era.

The state rested Wednesday in the
case of DR.. Koch. under trial at New
Ulm for the murder of DR.. Gebhardt.
Six days were taken up by the prosecu-
ton in presenting evidence against the
accused man. Briefly summed up, the
states case is as follows:
DIR. Koch was in the barber shop UNI
der Gebhardt's office less than fifteen
minutes before the murder was com
mitted.
He passed the window of the Re
view office, adjoining Gebhardts stair
way, just before a man was heard to
stalk heavily up the stairs.
A handkerchief bearing the initials
&c. R. k was found stained wlrh
blood in the murdered dentists room.
A pencil, such as Koch received less
than an hour before the murder was
committed, was found in a pool of
blood at the dead mans side.
Koch's father had a hammer similar
to the one with which the dentist was
killed, and one witness positively iden-
titled it as the actual hammer.
DR.. Gebhardt received a bottle sup
posed to contain poison the week be-
fore he was murdered. The state has
proved that this was strychnine.
The poison was sent in box such
as DR.. Koch received from the Parke-
Davis company shortly after Oct. T..
The package was addressed to Dr. Geb-
hardt on typewriter that was kept in
room adjoining the office of DR.. Koch.
Dr.. Stricken, DR.. Koch's officemate,
missed strychnine from this bottle dur
ing October.
The word Sample" on the poison
box is in Koch's writing.
DR.. Koch told a farmer that some
one was going to kill DR.. Gebhardt.
He told young man in New Ulm
that Gebhardt was a two-faced -
of a -.
DR.. Koch's hands We're seen to have
sores upon them the day after the muir
der, and were seriously burned on the
Friday following the murder.

murder trial yesterday, and the foun-

Koch's attorneys claim, not only will

will exonerate him in the eyes of the

The defense had on the stand two of

claimed he saw middle-aged stranger
