LIGHT WHEAT
 IN NORTHWEST

Minneapolis, Minn., Aug. S.- Millers in this city estimate that this years wheat crop i'll the North west will be only about so per cent. of that last year. The season IS nearly a month late, and much Of the wheat is overgrown with weeds The total crop of Minnesota, South Dakota and North Dakota is estl- mated at 25,000,000 bushels against 175 100000 last year. In North Dakota it is believed that not over 5O,O0O.000 bushels will be har- vested, as against S0,000,OOO bush els in 1906. Minnesota will do we'll to get 4O,OOO,oOo bushels and South Dakota 35,000,o00 bushels. Manitoba and western Canada pros poets are for about eight or ten bushels to the acre should frost hold off to the middle of September, which it seldom does. The Manl- toba and Assiniboia crops cannot be harvested before next month.

A Eidht In the Air

 The chicken hawk of the west is a savage and dangerous enemy, but once one of these air pirates got worsted. l was sitting in front of the doctors of flee when q hawk shot down with won derful rapidity of wing-so fast that It's shadow seemed hardly to reach the earth before It's body. It bounced upon the doctors favorlte kitten, which lay asleep on the grass, and made off with 1t. At an elevation of about fifty feet puss recovered from it's surprise and went to work for liberty. Its feline mind was exercised to astonishment and wrath. Twisting like a weasel, it's claws came uppermost, and to my straining gaze a sight presented itself much like a feather bed being ripped open in midair. The amazed hawk received new light on the subject of prey, let go and made off like badly plucked goose. but the cat came safely to earth-On it's feet

The Onion Qodae.

''Incredible as it may seem," said the detective. there are many shoplfters who steal by the agency of the onion. These men. before setting out upon their contemplated crimes, eat of raw onions abundantly Then they stroll into the silversmith's or the haberdash- CTS or the jewellers that they propose to rob.
 Show me those large solitares sur rounded with pigeon blood rubies, please says the jewel thief.
 ''The clerk brings forth the tray of gems and, bending over it, the thief sighs with admira ton. His face close to the clerks, he sighs again. And the clerks nostrils quiver, and he turns away his head. The inspection of the diamonds continues for some minutes Throughout it the thief keeps breath ing hard. the clerk keeps turning his head away, and hence it is no wonder at the days end. that a couple of costly rings are missing."-New York Press

'''>"0-'1 W WOOL CROP

Salt Lake City, Utah, Aug. s. With practically all of this year s WOOL clip disposed of to the eastern mills and manufacturers agents, at a good price, it is evident that the total sales will be many millions ot pounds less than last year. As re- ports from Australia state there will be decrease in the shipments from that country to the United States this fall, a wool famine is imml- nent. In Utah, Idaho, Montana ana Oregon the clips were much smaller than last year, while Wyoming is short of staple if not of weight. At least one-half of the total deficit is attributed to Montana.
 Perhaps the greatest factor in the wool shortage is the high price of lamb and mutton. So long as ranchmen find it more profitable to sell sheep to butchers than to grow wool, there is not likely to be any change in the situation.

ANNIVERSARY
 OF HURRICANE

Fohce, r. R., Aug. S.-NIemorial
 oeIN ices TOT those who met death in
 Porto Rico's memorable hurricane of
 August s, 1898, were held today in
 many of the churches of Ponce. tba occasion being the ninth anniversary
 ol the terrible catastrophe in which many scores lost their lives. Follow Ing closely on the heels of the Amer lcan invasion, it retarded for a time the material reclamation of the island winch IS now in a fair way to be ac
 complished.
 The hurricane began at 3 o'clock on the morning of August s and con- tinued until late in the afternoon.
 With terrible velocity that made playthings of the frail huts of the peasants, the wind swept over the island, carrying with it great trees. portions of houses, sheets of iron roofing and every conceivable variety Of debris. Crouched in the houses. with the fear of death in their hearts, the people of Porto Rico waited. hor- ror-stricken, for the greater peril vet 10 come.
 Almost instantly, at about 1 o'clock Ill the afternoon, this greatest of West Indian hurricanes died out. For six hours there ensued a period of deathly calm, with never a breath of air stirring after the awful tempest that had waged for seven hours. Then came the flood, solid sheet of water pouring down from the heavens on the wrecked island. In Ponce the situation was indescribabe With no lights and the city in ruins, hundreds were swept away in the flood of the Rio Portuguese The second terrible experience. following so closely upon the first, drove many of the survivors insane
 Great as was the misfortune that befell the island, it nevertheless served to cement in few days the ties between the inhabitants of the island and those of it's new mother country. In the midst of the wild confusion following the flood and hur- ricane, the United States did gallant service in rescuing endangered peo- pie, feeding the homeless and restor- ing order out of chaos. Before the swollen floods of the Rio Portuguese had subsided and the storm clouds had fairly cleared, ship loads of food, clothing and building material were on the way to the ill-fated island, and provisions were being distributed among the thousands of starving, naked peons. It was then, in the hour of their deepest extremity, that the Porto Ricans learned that Uncle Sam was a good father to his unfor tunate children. In thase dark hours was bred the loyalty to the United States that has since grown daily ill volume and depth of feeling and made them happy prosperous and con- tented people

The Origin of a Great invention.

On one of the daily trips of young Westinghouse from Schenectady to the foundry at Troy his train was held up oy bad wreck. Two frcichts had come together in a head-on collision on a piece of straight track. The engi- peers had seen the danger plainly, but by the time the hand brakes were brought into play it was too late The young man allowed these facts to sink Into his mind. Then he said to one of the train hands:
 If the engineers had been able to control their trains from tue cabs, the wreck could have been prevented, couldn't it:~
 Control 'em how?"
 Brake them
 '1es. They had lots of time'
 That was enough. The air brake was conceived. Amid the piled up wreck age the thing that was to make the name of Westinghouse familiar to ev- cry schoolboy the world over was call ed into being It did not come in it's perfected form but the idea itself had germinated.-Paui Latzke in Every body'S

PACIFIC NAVAL
 STATION

Washington, Aug, S.-According to reliable authority, San Diego will likely be selected for the new naval s station to be established on the Pa cifc coast. Rear Admiral Capps, chief naval constructor of the navy. and Rear Admiral Cowles, chief of the naval equipment bureau. are
 now on the cosat Investigating the
 problem of location, which will, of
 course have to be passed
 upon by congress. Naval ex- perts generally admit the necessity of a new station, the Mare Island and Bremerton yards now being the only ones on the long stretch of the Pacific. These are not sufficient to make the temporary repairs and dockings that will be required by Admiral Evans fleet, even if it should make but a temporary visit to the Pacific.
 Southern California is admitted
 1v the logical location for the pro-
 posed new station, having good ad- yantages for anchoring in it's har bor excellent railway connection and every facility for securing unlimited supplies of coal overland i'll case water communication should be cut off in time of war. At present the Southern California coast has little or no protection against the possible coming of hostile fleet, and the question of coast defenses will also be considered by Rear Admiral Capps and Cowles. Rear Admiral Holiday, chief of the bureau of yards and docks, will also assist in the Investigation. According to naval experts, the principal difficult ty in the way of additional naval stations on the Pacific coast is the difficulty of securing skilled labor.

Imitation of Ebony.

There are two processes, says the Carriage Monthly, in use in the imita tion of ebony. Take a fine grained piece of wood, use French black poi ish, made black with fine coloring mat ter, or good air drying black varnisll may be applied. This, however, gives only superficial coloring, and whei, the edges wear off the light colored wood shows. The other method is to wash three or four times any dense wood with boiling concoction of log wood. allowing it to dry between each application. Then wash with solu ton of acetate of iron. which is made by dissolving iron filings in vinegar This stain is very black and penetrates into the wood so that ordinary wear and chipping will not show the original color

Ants the Ideal Communists.

It would perhaps be pushing meta phors to an unwarranted extreme to speak of dignity of labor" in connec- tion with the occupations of ants. But if by the phrase we mean that labor is the honorable lot of all citizens, and that all labors of whatever sort are upon the same level of responsibility then we might venture to apply the saying even to the labors of an ant hill. For therein all are workers, from the newly fledged callow to the veteran of second summer-Henry McCooI in Harper's.

CRIMES -RICHEY CASE.
1t Is Settled ''Out of Court" and
Dismissed.

Frank Grimes suit to recover $1.175
on note given him by Roy Richey
to cover the shortage in the Abilene
school fund during the Grimes regime
as state treasurer has been discon-
unued. This suit was brought by Mr..
Grimes in the district court of this
county and an order was issued by
Judge Dana today dismissing it on the
representations of Edward McKeever
attorney for Grimes, and ]. E. Lari-
mer, attorney for Richey, that the
matter had been dropped. The costs
in the action were assessed against Mr..
Grimes.
Neither Mr. Grimes nor Mr.. Lari-
mer, Rfchey's attorney, would state this
morning just what the basis was for
the settlement of the suit if ther was
any.
This shortage was found by the
Rowett report and .Grimes Richey
and t. t. Kelly agreed to stand good
for the loss, each OF them to pay one
by Richey that he paid his one-third
and that then he was coerced by
Grimes and Kelly into giving the note
for the whole amount. -sgr
The claim was also made by Richey
that there was actually no real short
age of this money; that it had been
received by the treasurer and credited
to his account in the bank. but that it
had not been distributed in the proper
manner among the accounts, and that
therefore as a matter of fact the treas
urer's Office was not short the amount
in question.
Richey claimed also that he never
received any sort of a consideration or
money involved in the alleged shortage
and that he was not liable for it or any
part of it. He insisted that he was
coerced into giving the note and re-
fused to pay it, so Grimes brought the
suit which has now been dismissed.
The costs in the case, which Mr..
Grimes paid, amounted to over $40.
