WHEAT NEAR buxton
IS REPORTED
SMELLING
Ripened Week Earlier Than
Expected and Now There is
a Rush to Get it Gut.

A message received in the city last
evening from Buxton brought the de-
pressing news that wheat in the fields
near that place is Smelling, the hot
weather of the past week having pre-
maturely ripened the grain.
On the Thompson farm q mile south
of Buxton, of the entire eight hun
dred acres Of grain, barring eighty
acres sown to durum wheat. the crop
is dead ripe and the kernels are be-
ginning to drop to the ground. Thee.
Thompson went to Buxton last even
Ing In response to q telegram telling
him of the situation. He made ar
rangements to Immediately cut his
crop and five binders were started AT
work this morning
If we get IL or IL bushels to the
acre now, we will be satisfied, in view
OF the condition which we have lust
discovered" said Mr.. Thompson today.
A week ago had look at the grain,
as did also my foremen, and they were
OF the opinion that it would be two
weeks anyway before we could begin
to cut. l am afraid that in ripening
so fast, the quality of grain has been
pulled down.
The same condition as exists on the
Thompson farm is found on other
farms. On the John Larum place four
miles south of Buxton there are 1000
acres of dead ripe grain, which, IL not
Immediately attended to, will be more
than half loss. A string of binders
are now at work cutting the crop.
Wheat harvest, from reports, is now
practically general all over the val
ley.
Word was received today from
Armenia, where the cutting has been
extensive, and where for a time the
grain looked excellent in all respects,
1t has been brought out since the
grain Is in the shock that 1t ripened
too fast and as result will suffer ex-
tensively. The extremely hot wealth
er that was experienced when it was
thought the crops would be greatly
benefited undoubtedly proved disas-
trous. The grain ripened too fast and
there has been a great shrinkage.
Mr.. Sargent, clerk of court of Cass
county, wrote yesterday that he had
200 acres cut on his place, which he
had carefully examined. He stated
that If the remainder of the county
was as unfortunate the average grade
would not be over No. 3. The shrink
age Is general in the vicinity of
Armenia and although the yield will be
fair the condition which exists is to
be regretted as it will mean the loss
OF considerable to the farmers of that
section.

HOT WEATHER FINE
FOR THE SODA
FOUNTAINS
Also for East Side Thirst EN-.
poriums- Sell 400
Barrels Daily.

With a hot spell of ten days, each
following the other in rapid success
sion, and the filter closed down for re-
pairs, the East Side saloons have been
"romping in clover"
The DeMers avenue bridge over the
ruby Red, from early morning till early
the next morning, has been a steady
stream of people, most of whom an
parently had an unslackable thirst
The East Side drink emporiums have
done the largest business during the
past fortnight they have ever done in
the city's history in a similar period
OF time and 1t is estimated that the
sales of all saloons exceeded 400 bar
rels every twenty-four hours, or 1850
barrels week Of seven days
In one of the places near the bridge
the sale on beer ran an even barrel
an hour yesterday, or from fifteen to
eighteen barrels in the twenty-four
hours.
But this is of little interest to Grand
Forks people who oppose beer drink
ing, and they are many. The latter
are forced, with the filter down and
out for repairs, to either boil their
water, buy little filters, drink Rock
Spring" or confine themselves to the
lacteal extract.
The soda fountains and lemonade
stands have been endeavoring to keep
pace with the demands for soft"
drinks, and have so far been success
full. The young man who losses the
slick tasting compounds at the Daco-
tab pharmacy estimates that he mix
ed" 900 fancy ones" yesterday, while
Barrett's, Geist's and other soda Gin
stitutes" report similar rush at their
fountains.
Taking all these reports into con-
sideration, there is the inevitable con-
clusion that hot weather is all right
for drink dispensers, even if It is hard
on the peoples pocketbooks, and more
especially upon those with an extrava-
giant thirst.
1t will be several days yet before the
filter is again in operation, meantime
residents of this city are compelled
to suffer-and drink!

tee, not at present for publication. He
stated that an aggressive campaign
will be conducted and the opening
guns fred earlier than usual. That is
what they are here for, to lay their
plans, talk it over and exchange prog
nostications. Secretary Mccain, wear
ing happy smile, was hustling about
the corridors, in an effort to make
things pleasant for "the boys" who
were talking politics between inter-
walls when not wiping the perspiration
from their foreheads. 1t was an en-
thusiastic meeting and a warm one,
in one sense of the word at least.
This ready response to the call
from prominent democrats of the state
is evidence that there is lingering
hope among many that the unexpected
may happen, though when pinned down
quoted above are not taking the windy
claims of the small fry seriously. They
have been there before. The session
will continue tonight and it is not
probable that they will get away to-
morrow

The way some people assassinate
the English language is certainly
fierce" remarked blond haired youth
at the dress goods counter in a local
dry goods store the other day.
Whats the matter now?" asked the
pretty girl who sells ribbons, "you
seem disturbed"
We'll, I'll tell you," replied the
youth. This morning two women
came in and looked at everything
have behind the counter and they
didn't want to buy any more than a
hen wants to take to water. They
simply sat here and each tried to beat
the other in using strange words.
Here's one of their little dialogues
Have you been in the new store up
the street,
Yes. indeed, isn't it just too lively.
And that bric-a-brac. 1t was so hard
to keep from buying it,
well l should say so and it's so
cheap. Only 10 cents yard
Il simply had to excuse myself on
the preteXt that was going to an
other part of the store to get some
thing they wanted to look at. Had l
stayed / certainly should have laughed
in their faces"
Waiter-"Yes, sir-one chop, we'll
DONE"
Henshaw-"Some toast. Real toast!
Not that light yellow stuff with three
dark stripes across top and bottom,
and soggy in the middle"
Waiter-"Yes, sir-not soggy in the
middle"
Henshaw-"And couple of fried
eggs. we'll done on one side"
Waiter-"Yer, sir-well done on one
side"
The waiter started toward the door,
turned back. timidly confronted the
comedian. and said: "You ordered the
eggs well done on one siie?" to which
Henshaw replied: well, what of it,"
Waiter-"But you didn't say which
side"
Henshaw did not deign to laugh, but,
handing the man piece of silver,
said: TITS up to you old man; you can
60 out and buy the SMILE"

RUM FOR THE JAPS.
Eighteen Cars of the Stuff Went West
Over the Northern Pacific.

Fargo Forum: Judging from the ap-
pearance Of a freight train which
passed through Fargo on the way to
the Pacific coast today there is a
hilarious time in store for the Japs.
In the train were eighteen cars bear
ing the label, "Wilson Bros rum, Bos-
ton to Japan" This large consign-
ment will be placed on board one of
the big steamers and shipped direct
to the kingdom of the mikado.

No Joke.

Medicine won't help you any," the
doctor told his patient What you
need is a complete change of living.
Get away to some quiet country place
for month. Go to bed early, eat more
roast beef, drink plenty of good, rich
milk. and smoke lust one cigar day.
A month later the patient walked
into the Doctors Office. He looked like
a new man. and the doctor told him so.
Eyes, doctor, your advice certainly
did the business. I went to bed early
and did all the other things you told
me. But, say, doctor. that one cigar
a day almost killed me at first. It's
no joke starting in to smoke at my
time of life"

Drank Carbolic Acid.
Thinking he had found something
good to drink, Harvey Wilson, aged
two years, son of F. A. Wilson, of BIZ
wabik, drank the contents of bottle
of carbolic acid and for several hours
his life was despaired of. The child
was playing in bathroom when he
found the acid on shelf. Uncorking
the bottle he took q large draught and
as the burning fluid entered his mouth
and throat he cried out in pain. He
was writhing in agony when his father
entered the room, and realizing what
had happened, carried the little suf-
ferer to the Butler pharmacy near by.
Antidotes were promptly administered
and aside from sore mouth and
throat the child is now little the worse
for his experience.

Mrs. Thompson DISCHARGED.

The case against Mrs. John Thomp-
son was dismissed by Judge Sullivan
this morning after the pyrotechnics of
the lawyers had been disposed of. The
case was on nearly all day yesterday
and the arguments Of the lawyers was
not disposed Of till this morning. The
defendant was charged with having
disannexed watch and some money
from the person of Theodore Peterson
of Aneta, without the consent of the
latter. But while there did not seem
to be much doubt that Peterson lost
the money and watch, it was difficult
to show that the woman was the one
who took it. The fact was that sew

were In wine room and all seemed
to have been partaking freely of famil-
lar drops, with the result that the
man with the roll was touched.

1t is encouraging to note that Indi-
ana's eminence in charity work is rec
ognized abroad as well as at home and
that the high character of the ser.

that work is accredited to the full. At
the meeting of the National Confer.
ence of Charities and Correction at
Philadelphia this week, Amos Butler,
secretary of our Board OF State Chari.
ties, was elected president; Alexan.
der Johnson, who made much OF his
reputation by his work In Indiana.
was elected general secretary; Mr..
Bicknell, formrly of The News, and OF
our home charities, now of Chicago,
and the veteran Timothy Nicholson Of
Richmond, were made members OF
the executive committee. Recogni.
tion like this is not only good for
those in whom it is exemplified, but 1t
s good for ther State, for it has a re-
flective influence, strengthening the
whole cause of charity, giving it addi-
tional standing and force, and helping
to forward to Improvement.

Lafayette, May lift. Wayne, Ma

years encampment of the G. A. R., De-
partment of Indiana, and each will
make a strong bid for it next week at
Lafayette. Marion wished it this
year but the vote at the Madison en-
campment last May favored Lafayette
for 1906. 1t was then asserted by
Marion rooters that an understanding
had been reached with some of the
delegations from other cities that If
Marion would allow Lafayette to
have the encampment this year, Mari
on should have the next one. Now,
however, Ft. Wayne is after it, and
will send strong delegation to work
for that city.
Terre Haute will be a strong COM
petitor if it is found the soldiers
monument, which is to be erected in
that city, can be completed in time to
be unveiled at the 1907 encampment.
This, however, is not yet certainty.
Marion will send a large delegation
that will set forth the attractions Of

PRESENT A WEAK CASE.
'ACQUITTAL is EXPECTED
Rumor Became Persistent Yesterday
at Trial of Josephine Terranova

New York, May 17.-With admit
tedly the weakest case ever made out
by a prosecuting attorney in a noted
murder case in this city, the prosecu-
ton in the trial of Josephine Terra
nova rested late this afternoon and
the defense will begin Friday morn
ing. 1t now seems likely that the
case will get to the jury by Monday
night next at the latest. 1t is the
general belief about the court build
ing that the girl will be acquitted of
the murder of her aunt, the specific
crime for which she is now on trial
and that the District Attorney will not
press the charge of numbering her un-
Gle, inasmuch as he considered the
present case the strongest. In fact
the rumor that the jury had already
made up it's mind as to the action it
will take in the case because SO per-
sistent this afternoon that Justice
Scott, who is presiding, felt called up
on to warn the jury that they must
not discuss the case and that they
must refrain from reading the news

THE ASSESSORS
TURN OVER BOOKS
Final Report of Work Shows
a Property Increase of
$281,67o.
BIG COST TO THE WORK
THIRTY FIVE PERSONS WERE
EMPLOYED IN TAKING THE AS
SESSMENT-cAUSE ExPENDI-
TURE OF $4,000.

The fifteen township assessors, to-
gether with their deputies, met yes
terday with the Board of County
Commissioners and the Assessor and
turned over the books for the year of
1906. They were also reimbursed for
their work of the past seventy five
days, the time allowed by law in
which all property, except that of in
corporated companies, be put upon
the duplicates for taxation
The reports of the assessors show
that during the past year, the value
of all taxables in Wayne. County has
Increased over quarter of a million
dollars. This does not include the in
crease in the property belonging to
corporations and when this increase
is noted, after the Board of Review
makes it's report, the yearly increase
will probably total over 100000.
The assessed value of all property,
exclusively of corporation property,
in 1906 is $$25, ,1S5,250. Last year, the
figures showed that property was as
sessed at $24,9O3,5s0, making an in
crease this year of 1921 go About
half of this gain was in Richmond,
and the remainder was outside of
Wayne township.
The annual cost of making the
assessment of Wayne County proper.
ty is very high, and this year, the to-
tai amount paid out to assessors and
their deputies will be over $4,000.
The assessor of Wayne township re-
ceives salary but the other town
ship assessors are paid $3.50 for work
on each day from March l to May IT,
or seventy-five days. Each deputy
gets 81 a day for the same period,
whether he is kept busy during that
entire time or not. There are fourteen
assessors besides the Assessor of
Wayne township, and about twenty
DEPUTIES
