ADJUSTMENTS FOR TODAY.
MoRAN's DONATION PARTY.

BY caucus resolution, the "Ameri-
can" party councilmen yesterday as
sumed the responsibility for the KEEL
sey-Moran conduit grab, and decided
TO add over $4,000 to Moran's con-
tract price. The extras include ST.
500 for plastering the inside of the con-
duit to conceal defects in the concrete
work and prevent a leakage which
would have been impossible If the con-
crete had been put in properly; $685. 900
for covering the conduit with earth,
which is entirely unnecessary, and
$4,000 for adding two inches to the
thickness of the concrete walls.
The practice of plastering con-
crete conduits has been condemned
by the American Institute of Civil En-
cheering. the best authority in Amer
lea, because no plaster can be
given a permanent hold that will
prevent washing off by water. The
strength Of the walls as originally de-
signed, REINFORCED by steel bars. is
ample, as the council could find by get
ting the opinion of real engineers. The
earth covering has been found unnec-
essary in the biggest water supply con-
Quits in the country. Not one of the
extras" is cessary-except to Moran
and the expenditure is a useless,
criminal waste of the peoples money.
There need be no doubt as to the rea-
sons for this $4,000 grab at the bond
fund. Moran has the original contract
and 50 has no fear of competition or
restriction of any sort. He owns most
of the Americans in the council, so
far as votes are concerned; the city
engineer is his good friend I'm anything
he wishes to do to the city treasury.
and the president Of the board of public
works was appointed with his approval.
Knowing these facts, it is easy to I'M
derstand why the administration has
been so anxious 10 force the grab
through the council, and as an excuse
has pleaded for harmony in the par
~. Harmony. that costs the people
over $4,000. Harmony that enables
Moran to conceal defective concrete
work and get paid for covering it; har-
mony that finds A. J. Davis and Mo-
ran and Kelsey and Fred Leonard be-
hind it, A few more doses of such
harmony will kill the American
party so dead that even the campaign
contributions of Moran and all the
''heelers" he can put to work at the
city's expense cannot resUTrect it. Pos
sibIy an early death may be worth the
cost to the people, but it comes pretty
high.

DAILY MARKETS

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Chicago, July 2S.-The probability
of greatly increased receipts of wheat
here Offset yesterday the effect of the
bullish foreign advices and caused
steady close in the local wheat mar
ket, final quotations on the September
delivery being precisely the same as
the day before.
The wheat market was firm during
the first half of the session, sentiment
in the pit being Influenced by foreign
crop news generally favorable to the
bulls. The price of wheat at the
principal European grain centers
showed considerable advance owing
to additional reports claiming a
greater shortage of wheat in south
ern Russia as result of excessive
rains. Another bullish factor was
decrease in shipments of wheat from
Argentine during the week compared
with the corresponding week a year
ago. The buying early in the day
came from influential quarters, sew
eral prominent commission houses be-
ing on that side of the market. There
was also a good demand by local
shorts. Toward the noon hour the
market weakened on selling by cash
houses, increased acceptances from
the country being given as a reason
for the more liberal offerings. Little
recuperative power was manifested
late in the day, the market closing
steady. September opened A to A-Ac
higher at 76%-Ac to 76Ac sold up TO
TN and then declined to 76Ac. The
close was at 7611-h. Clearances of
wheat and -four were equal to LOG, 700
bushels. Exports for the week as
shown by Bradstreets were equal to
100000 blu. Primary receipts were
1,219,00O bu., compared with 1899 900
the corresponding time a year ago.
Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago re-
ported receipts of 665 cars against 7O3
cars last week and 426 cars year
ago.

The Bismarck man eagerly accepted
the invitation and others to 20 into

From that time on the Bismarck

When one OF the strangers produced q

as security for $25, the Bismarck
man Bit
I'LL get the check cashed down
