WHEAT YIELDS RUN
TO GOOD FIGURES
SOUTHERN MINNESOTA WILL AV-
ERAGE ABOUT Is BUSHELS.
South Dakota Promises Twelve Bushels
Per Acre for the Average and North
Dakota the Same, According to Van
Harrington Advices - Recent
Rains Delayed the Harvest 49, North
Dakota 8 Harvest Will Be General by
Aug. 81.

There has been considerable wheat threshed
thru southern Minnesota and South Dakota,
and the yield is better than anticipated,
according to bulletin of the Van Dusen-Har
rington company. In southwestern Minnesota
the yield will be not less than fifteen bushels to
the acre. South Dakota will probably yield
twelve bushels to the and North Dakota
about the same. The quality Of wheat in these
three states will not be below the average
certainly much better than last year.
The yield of oats in the three states seems
to be very large and the quality only fair, due
to weather stain. Barley has yielded an aver
age crop-probably not more than last season;
the quality is very uneven. There will be some
good barley, but much Of 1t will be of the feed
grade.
~ Minnesota, the two Dakotas and Manitoba,
have had five days of continuous bad weather.,
during which it has been impossible to work in
the fields; but. today the sky is clear and the
air cool the entire territory and on high
ground harvesting will be resumed this after
noon. On heavy lands it will be. necessary to
wait day or two; in the Red River valley,
perhaps, four or five days. -
Wheat harvest has been practically completed
as far north as Minneapolis; is in full swing
thru central Minnesota and northern South Da.
kota and, given good weather, will be general
thruout North Dakota by the 21st.

FIVE RAILROADS
IN REBATE CASE.
4 D. Purdy's Prosecution Of
s Roads for Violating Law
d i Charges Contempt.

: Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 19.--Con-
tempt proceedings charging violation
Z of the or3der of Judge John T. Phil
lips, issued in March, 1902, restraining
the defendants from giving rebates in
violation of the interstate commerce
law, were fled here today in the United
States district court against the Chi
cago & Alton, the Chicago, Burlington
& Quinck, the Missouri Pacific, the Chi
cago, Rock Island & Pacific, and the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railway
companies. These companies are
charged with giving rebates in viola
court is asked to cite them for con-
tempt.
The contempt proceedings allege spe-
cifcally in the case of the Alton that
that company granted rebates amount
ing to many thousand dollars on the
shipments Of agricultural and farming
machinery to the International Harvest
er company (which owns the Illinois
Northern railroads.
It is alleged that the Alton agreed
with the Illinois Northern to file with
the interstate commerce commission
pretended joint tariffs of freight rates
effective from Chicago to Missouri
river points, for the express purpose
7
that the Alton agreed and did, in fact,
give to the international Harvester
company 25 per cent Of said pretended
joint tariff rates.
The proceedings against the Burling-
ton are practically Identical with those
against the Alton.
( The proceedings against the Mis-
souri, Pacific, the Rock Island and the
Santa Fe allege that in like manner
these companies violated the restrain
ing order by giving rebates to the

company is controlled and operated by

escape Of the gasolene.
How Bombs Were Made.

Z law ASO41Abb HNO4S 4x4cV.-Ss
Both of these improyised bombs were
contained in wooden boxes six inches
IN length, two inches wide and an inch
deep. Two parlor matches were adj
justed, heads downward, in each Of the
boxes, and set into the sliding covers
SO that if the covers were drawn the
heads of the matches would ignite on
strips OF emery paper in the bottoms of
the boxes: In each box were two 32-
caliber pistol cartridges, with inches
fitted in the rims Of the caps so as to
expose the powder. In the package
sent to Mr.. Schiff were also two small
slugs of lead. About the cylinder in
the Schif box was wrapped printed
sheet of paper containing stock quota
tions. p.
It was evident that both machines
had been constructed by the same per-
son, and if. they had been carelessly
opened as hoped, they would have
doubtless carried out the designs Of the
maker. The matche4 would have ig-
nited on the emery paper, setting fire
to the cotton, which in turn would have
set off the explosives and the cart
ridges.
No Glue to Sender. =.
There is scarcely anything in either
Of the machines to serve as a clue to
the sender.
Neither the Guggenheims nor the rep
resentative Of Mr.. Schif, who is at Bar
Harbor, could conceive of any motive
for the sending Of the machines. The
only interest they have in common so
far as could be learned, was that Mr..
Schiff s banking firm were the under
writing agents Of the American Smelt-
ing & Refining company. So far as is
known they have no common enemy
and no enemies at all who would be
likely to send an internal machine. 81
