attracting much attention. While
at Jefferson. Wis, he met several
North Dakota.people ..and writes as
follows concerning one:
'sln conversation with the genial
manager of the Jefferson hotel we
discovered that he resided In James
town from 1881 until 1880 and was
with NJ. e. Foley..who ran the..G rand
Central hotel in that city. He still
has longing for the town of his

BEVERAGES
Their Psrnicious Qualities and
Variety. Exposition to be Held
to AnaIyzs Drinks.

Chicago, October 1907-Statisti-
clans have figured out that there are
6.397 different kinds of Intoxicating
drinks made and used in the world,
and 81, 743 drinks of all kinds includ-
ing both hard and soft varieties. OF
the vast number beer takes the lead
as the most consumed and in the fig
ures presented the United States
ranks high as consumer. yet leads
the list for temperance and for low
percentage of drunkenness. 1t has al
so been discovered that practically
every kind of food consumed con-
tains a percentage of alcohol and
that an alarming number of so called
soft drinks contain deadly poison in
greater quantities than is found in
sordinary alcoholic beverages. These
figures present an interesting study
and in Older to present. to the public
in the most logical and easily under
stood manner, the various kinds and
quantities of beverages consumed in
the United States and to let them
see how they are produced and what
precautions the government takes TO
protect its people against injury
from beverages the most extensive
exposition ever held will take place
in the Chicago Coliseum, Dec. 10 to
81. Here will be gathered together
as many of the 9l,743 varieties ..as it
is possible to get under one roof and
in addition to exposing all..the var
ious kinds, the government will con-
duct a testing station and give an
alysis of everything that is pre-
sented.

the official government to different
persons and corporations for grossly
inadequate sums; ..had :rented its

1t is the governments prime mo-

the territories by the government
should be reserved by the territories
for the purposes for which the lands
we're granted; that they must be sold
at adequate and just prices and the
monies used for the purposes for

other trustee to account in Il court
of Justice.
The lands involved in these suits,
it is said, aggregate $4,000 ares.

said that the government will prob
ably instttute.about one hundred of
these actions in New Mexico, and
that the aggregate value would be in
the numerous millions of dollars,

government Is 81 inyeSt4gating the
transfer of lands given its other
states and territories, and that it
will bring suits and actions wherever
the evidence sufficiently warrants
the same, to the end that the full
intention OF the government in its
land grant be complied with.

FARM WORK STOPPED

and continued Tuesday putting "a
stop to all farm work. The greater
part of che threshing has been done
in this part OF the county but in the
fields more remote from the towns
considerable threshing remains to be
done.
In the Red river valley only about
SO per cent of the crop is said to be
threshed.
The Mastin machine pulled in Mon-
day and several other threshers
will quit for tine season here. The
scarcity of men and the high wages
asked make it expensive for the
farmer.
All feed crops are going to be
scarce and the more there is threshed
the greater scarcity is seen. One ee-
vator company has only been able to
buy about 1000 bushels of oats this
fall, farmers preferring to keep them
rather than sell even at the high
prices. Barley has been going up in
price contrary to all expectations
and the price Monday in. Minneapolis
for good barley was SJ.O5 record
breaking figure for this crop. Much
Of the barley is light weight and
seems like all o;her crops not COM
pletely mature-!.
Wheat has been declining in price
going Off about 7 cents the past
week. Good clump seed of all kinds
of grain is going to be scarce and
high next spring. Some farmers will
look for other wheat seed than that
raised here. All kinds of farm pro-
ducts bring big prices this fall and
will no doubt continue to be high all
winter. Poultry, butter. eggs and
potatoes are all higher than usual
this fall. The potatoe crop is dis
appointment, many farmers tinding
on digging the crop that thev will
not have any to sell where they ex-
pected to have good many bushels
more than they needed for home use.
Many of the potatoes are imperfect.
the late spring and cold summer has
had its effect on the vegetable crop
as we'll as on the grain crop.
The work of hauling grain has be-
gun in earnest and farmers are mar

and keeping their surpluss'' forage

possible. There is said to be consid
erable old wheat and some old oats
still IN the farmers hands. The
rains will make fall blowing an easier
job than it promised to be week
ago.
A number of threshers and farm
help left Tuesday day for the east and
south on account of the rain stopping
farm operations. Men have been ask
ing s3 a day and board which with
the light yield and other expenses
farmers do not feel able to pay. Two
dollars and fiftv.rcents have been paid
for farm labor the greater part OF the
fall.

,sRT TONIGHT ROADWAY GREEN. 4erchant's Annual Bonfire on Eve of 4th a Thing
 of the Past.

Instead of having the big bonfire which has usually been kindled on Broadway on the eve of the Fourth this year there will be a band concert. It would not be wise to build fire on the new blthulitic pavement, as 1t would ruin it, so another old celebra- tion has gone by the board, and the Broadway merchants will have to find some other way of disposing of their old barrels and boxes. Anyhow Broad way has had one bonfire already, pre- mature one, and costly.
 The City band, under the leadership of Henry Nichols, will occupy an im- provised band stand on the Broadway green, and will render the following program at S:SO this evening:
 National anthem-"The Star spangled
 Banner"
 March--"The Magnet" ...........Losey Operatic selection-"M Martha" Flotow Old time Medley-"S Southern Plantation

SCHOOL TEACHER DROWNED.

Was With Three Fellow Graduates of
 Brown, One From New London.
 New York, July 2.-Herbert F. Brightman, 2S years old, school teacher of 76 Warren street, Fall River, Mass, fell from the deck of the auxiliary cat boat run by George F. Goldee of New London, Conn, and was drowned in the East river to-day. Brightman's body was not recovered and it is feared the tide carried it away towards the rocks at Hell Gate.
 With three fellow graduates of Brown university Brightman was on his way by boat to the Jamestown ex- position. His companions were George M. Goldie and N. B. Keeler, of New London, Conn, and E. S. Anderson, of Providence, R. I. They left New Lon don on Sunday in the auxiliary cat boat, thirty feet long, belonging to Goldie, and the trip was ,uneventfuly pleasant, antil the accident. They left City Island for the run through Hell Gate and the East river early in the morning and at eleven o'clock were off 65th street, with strong tide flowing against them. Following them from Port Morris was the car float Mary land of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad
 Just before the accident it was said that the float was but fifteen feet be- hind the catboat, which was rocking dangerously from the swell. Bright man was sitting on the cabin roof, when lurch sent him sprawling into the water. Instantly, Keeler, who was at the wheel, shifted helm, while Goldie threw line, but the tide car ried him out of reach.
 Patrolman Watson of the East Sixty seventh street police station who was on duty on the American Ice company docks at Sixty-fourth street, ran to the end of the pier, jumped into boat moored there, and fowed rapidly in the tide. Simultaneously, Antonio vetch, who was in swimming close at hand, started for the young man. When the. rowboat and swimmer were two feet away Brightman went down for the last time, and although vetch div ed repeatedly, the body was not re- covered.
 Brightman was graduated from Brown university in 1905. He was 2S years old.

FELL INTO GRAVE.
Mourners in Westport Went Down
 With Coffin.

With Collin.
 Bridgeport, July 2.-Instead of the accustomed quiet which prevails at the burial of the dead, great excitement and fear attended the burial yesterday of Michael Sereno, prominent merchant of Westport, when by the collapsing of a grave the coffin and several persons attending the services were hurled into a small pit,
 The final prayer had been said by the preacher and the assistant to the undertaken stepped to the foot of the coffin to arrange the rope for letting the coffin into the grave. At that mo- ment one of the pallbearers accidental ly kicked out the crosspiece that sup ported the coffin. The coffin quickly descended into the grave. the body go- ing feet first. The assistant hastened it's descent by tumbling on it. Several persons rushed to the edge of the grave, causing the soil to yield, and in few seconds five persons were lying in the pit half covered with dirt.
 They were pulled out, the coffin was dug out and laid flat, and after the grave had been re-dug the burial was completed.
