Prices in New York.

New York, May 17.-Bears in the
local wheat market made an attack
on prices today and succeeded in get

July option. nearly one cent for Sep
TENDER and one cent for December.
The lowest points reached were LOB
81 for July and September and LOS

The rush of buying orders from all
parts of the country met this drop and
prices took a sharp upturn, carrying
July to LOS Is, gain of Il C over
last nights closing; September to $1.05
s1.07N, gain of NC.
In the afternoon a fresh buying
trade was started by the reports of a

IA cents since the government report.
This was followed by a bad break, I'M

PAEAN FROM FORD co.
t. b. GcrOw Hears Good Word From
Is ~ ~ Wheat Fields --~-- ~

There have been so many sorrowful
notes from the wheat fields that the
following triumphant paean from the
clerk of Ford county, with several
other townships to hear from, puts
new life into the weak, and bids the
respondent hope. Listen to the
paean:
Dodge City, Kan. May II, 1907.
''T. B. Gerow, Director, Topeka, Kan:
Dear Mr.. GerOw:
eve now have assessors returns
from eleven out of fourteen townships,
which show that the vast fields of
luxuriant green joy giving and cash
producing chief emolument of our
farmers will reach a grand total in
excess of 10000 acres in Ford county.
1.-The condition today will average
90 per cent. garlanded with Q blue
ribbon coronal with X annexed.
We have reports of myriads of green
bugs in few localities, but no percepti-
BILE damage is yet apparent, so far as
the farmers can see. None but a scien-
fist could determine any degree of harm
yet done. A few shipments of the para
site garroters from the State Agricul-
tural college have been received, and

are being distributed in badly affect ed
fields. If the present meteorological
conditions continue another month, and
the green bugs can beat our rich soil in
Its magnificent labors, We will simply
have to accept the result without preju-
dice.
The estimate made by assessors show
that it will require the assistance of
over 1000 extra men and 300 extra
teams to harvest this acreage of wheat
provided a full crop is Appropriated.
None has been plowed up, and 1t is
my opinion that none will be-
1t is matter in which 1 am keeping
fully posted, and all necessary informa-
ton will be rendered you on schedule
time as harvest season approaches Very
sincerely yours, s. H. CONNAWAY.

REAL SUMMER HEAT.
Mercury Near the Ninety Degree
Mark Today.

The weather is hitting the clip to-
day which caused Topekans to think
that summer had arrived along the
latter part of March when the mer-
curry reached the 81 mark, though at
2 o'clock today it was two degrees
short of that mark. The minimum Of
SO was reached early this morning be-
fore most people were up to enjoy It
and the race of the mercury has been
swift and merry since that time with
the indications that the record for the
season will be broken before shutdown.
Cooler weather and fair is promised
for Saturday though there are indica-
tions this afternoon that there are
showers lurking in this vicinity which
may reach here between now and
morning. There is a n-mile-an- hour
breeze blowing from the south which
detracts somewhat from the discom-
fort the heat is causing.

FALL OFF IN HUNTERS LICENSES
NiInrods Do Not Seem to Care for
Provisions of the Law.

1t is reported that very few hun
ters' licenses are being issued this
year by the county clerks OF the state,
and that most of the people who want
to hunt are hunting without a license
on the pretext that they are after
rabbits.
Counties which turned in from three
to four hundred dollars in hunters IL
censes last year are said to have issued
only a few dozen licenses thus far, and
the indications are that there will be
a small sum available for improving
the company's plant.
There is still on hand in the fish and
game warden's fund $4,000, and most
of the important improvements desired
at the fish hatchery have been COM
pleted. The state also has fish car
in service.

SALEM OIL MAN
DIES IN HOSPITAL
Was Run Over BY Wagon
While at Work in the
Oil Fields.

WHEELING, Aug. 14-Wnliam
Howard, an eighteen-year-old son 4
William Howard, of Bridgeport, died
in the Wheeling hospital Tuesday
from injuries received while working
in the oil fields at Salem last Fri
day afternoon
The young man was driving along
one of the roads in a light spring
wagon, and had occasion to get out
for something. While he was in the
act of getting out of the rig the
horse started and his body was
caught between the wheel of the
wagon and the bed. He was crush
ed very seriously about the stomach.
Salem physicians attended him and
he was later sent to the Wheeling
City hospital, where 1t was found
that some of the vital organs of the
stomach aud bowels had been ripped
open by the collision. An operation
was performed Sunday at the hos
pital, but it was thought at the time
that it would be fruitless.
He suffered much during Monday
and all through last night his con-
dition was such that no hope for his
recovery was entertained. The body
of the unfortunate young man was
removed to the home of his father.
