WHEAT YIELD Is
STILL PROMISING
LATE REPORTS RECEIVED IN
FARGO INDICATE THAT CROP
WILL NEARLY EQUAL EARLIER
PREDICTIONS s. RUST DAMAGE.
Is EXAGGERATED.

Reports received By Fargo railroad
ofncials and grain men yesterday and
today indicate that the wheat yield OF
North Dakota is still promising in
spite Of the many rumors 20 the con-
trary. One railroad oficiaI who has
just covered much Of the state says
that the earlier predictions Of . BUM
per crop will be fulfilled.
Fargo railroad officials say that the
wheat yield In Minnesota, North and
South Dakota will average between
fifteen and seventeen bushels to the
acre Despite rust, excessive heat and
rains in certain sections, they oonfi-
IDENTIFY predict that the total crop in
the three states will range from 200,-
100000 to 2S5.oo0, 900 bushels. which Is
well up to the opinion expressed q
couple of weeks ago by the leading
grain men Of the northwest.
Although an occasional car OF new
wheat has been shipped recently, rail-
road officials say that IL will be ten
days before the crop OF 1909 will begin
to move in appreciable volume. Equip
ment has been effectively marshaled
and, although TIE ofacials say that
there is bound 10 be CONGESTION for q
time. they expect to move the grain
to market In better shape this year
than ever before.
Rust Stories ovsrdravn.
OFFICIALS say that the reports Of rust
causing great damage to the crops in
North Dakota are not true, and they
attribute such alarming reports to
market manipulators. Reports receiv-
er here are that all late wheat has
been considerably affected in some iso-
lated spots in central North Dakota,
while the northern part Of North Da-
kota has been similarly affected But
this is only drop In the bucket and
in the aggregate will show little In the
total wheat product of North Dakota
Threshing returns are that wheat is
averaging from eighteen to twenty FIVE
bushels to the acre and barley forty
FIVE bushels in North Dakota.

Frank Germany, Three Daughters and

The dead:

The tragedy occurred on Sperry brook,
a tributary of the Cuyahoga river at Mon
roe Falls. The Germany girls had been
warned against venturing on the ice alone
and there being no school session they
persuaded their father and uncle to ac-
company them. The men were to skate
and the children to slide. They left home
about 3 a, M, promising to return for din
ner. When they failed to appear, Mrs.
Germany became anxious and taking her
3 year old son, Charles, the only surviving
child, went to the home Of neighbors and
organized a searching party. Search at
the falls revealed at first only a big hole
in the Ice. Flora Cormany's body was
dragged from the water and tonight the
others were recovered.

Tales of Roosevelt Hunt
Cause Mirth in Africa

NAIItOBI, British East Africa, Dec. ~
The reading public here has found vast
amusement in press clippings from America
dealing with the game killing experiences
of Colonel Roosevelt. While recognizing
the prowess of the former president, they
are somewhat amazed at the effect of his
achievements upon the minds Of his coun-
trymen, particularly at the incredulity ex-
hibited in some Instances toward very
ordinary happenings and the trusting faith
in other cases with which some really
outrageous yarns are accepted.
They receive with skepticism the fact, for
example, that Colonel Roosevelt has been
charged by twelve hippopotami in Lake
Naivsha, killing a few and escaping scot
free, and yet a readily to stories Of the
bagging OF strange birds and mammals
which have hitherto triumphantly lodged

Without detracting from the glory of the
hunter, east African residents do not look
with a great deal Of interest upon the mere
Staying OF lions and such small fry. They
do not even use this sort Of thing as a
topic OF conversation While the weather
shows any interesting phases, Nsirobi has

so by news that men walking to their

stumbled over a full-grownt lion which has
been so frequently seen about the streets

The inventive genius Of the pseudo scien-
lists has risen to frenEied heights In sup

have originated the kirkak-dik, the exact
nature Of which is yelled in some obscur-
.ity; the kirombo bird, which has a pair Of

1t is suggested here that a safe plan, pre-
vious to the acceptance in the United

would be a search for an affidavit attached

Dynamite Bombs
IN St. LOUIS
Attempt Made to Wreck Home of One
Editor and the Office of
Another.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 12.-The residence of
Harry B. Wandell, city editor of the St.
Louis Star, was dynamited early this
morning.
The front door and windows Of the
Wandell house were blown out. A man
was seen running away from the house.
No person was injured. The explosion
was heard for blocks around. Wandell
refused to discuss the cause of the ex-
plosion, pleading ignorance.
Recently Wandell was slugged as he was
entering the Star building. A note showed
under the door, and found after the ex-
plosion read:
III. w, be careful; next time under your
chair"
The note was unsigned.
The explosion Of what is imposed to have
been a dynamite bomb tonight damaged
the Granite building. at Fourth and Mar
ket streets. The police believe that an at
tempt was made to wreck the office of a
weekly publication, which has recently been
crlticising certain public men Of st. Louis
The damage is estimated at $500. So far as
Is known nc one was injured.
Twenty minutes after the explosion,
which occurred at 1:l0 o'clock. Wandell
collapsed and was put under the care Of a
physician. His name, according to police
records, was found In the check-book OF
the publisher of the weekly paper, the
office OF which was dynamited earlier In
the night. The publisher of the weekly
paper refused to state why he made checks
payable to Wandell.

PIERRE, S. D., Dec. l2.-(Special.)-In the
death Of Ralph NJ. C~avanaugh at New York
a few days ago, one of the old-time hus-
tiers Of Dakota territory Of the early sos
is gone. Cavanaugh was connected with
the Missouri Valley Townsite company,
which plated the towns Of Huron and
Pierre and which later ventured on the
town Of Fairbank. on thu Missouri river,
in western Sully county. The indications
were favorable at one time for al extern
sion of the Northwestern line from Red
field to Fairbank, before the line was
built out to Gettysburg. Everything was
planned by the boomers to place a rival
to Pierre on the river in Sully county, but
the head officials Of the Northwestern road
vetoed the construction Of the line of rail-
way which had been surveyed and located.
Fairbank was a h~ustling frontier town for
a year, and when the railroad plan was
abandoned 1t gradually faded away" and
at the present time a lone ranch house
marks the place where ~Cavanaugh had
succeeded in planting a town of about 500
population ON the strength of what the
northwestern would do for the place.

Nebraska and
Georgia in a
Sea Collision
Misunderstanding of Signals Causes
Slight Mixup, in Which No
Harm is Done.

NORFOLK, Va, Dec. 12.-The collision
between the battleshlps Georgia and Ne
braska during tactical evolutions on the
southern drill grounds off the Virginia
capes Thursday seems to have been rather
nconseauentlal Il being declared to have
been an exaggeration.
The Georgia has a very small amount OF
paint scraped off one side with It's bridge
slightly bent. No one, II lie said, was hurt,
and neither the Georgia nor the Nebraska
will have to withdraw from the fleet. This
afternoon IL was said the collision was
due to a Misunderstanding of signals.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Unless Rear
Admiral Schroeder, commandments of
the Atlantic fleet. appoints a court Of in
quiry into the collision Thursday Of the
battleships Georgia and Nebraska off the
Virginia capes, the Navy department will
do so as soon as the full reports OF the ac-
cident arrive in Washington.
The latest trouble Of the Nebraska was
linked with the name of Lieutenant u. s.
Macy, for some time ordnance officer OF
that vessel. Unable TO overcome the un-
kindly fates that seem to hover over 1t,
the Nebraska made a miserable showing In
target practice as compared with some OF
the other battleships.
The Nebraska was called upon to ex-
plain; other ships we're c~omplimented.
Lieutenant Macy was in immediate charge
of this feature OF the ships work. In or
der to justify himself he wrote a letter ad-
dressed to the Navy department, explain
ing that low score was not his fault, but
was due to a state OF mutiny aboard the
ship and other things that were not very
complimentary to the commander of the
vessel.
That letter got no further than Rear
Admiral Schroeder. He ordered a court
martial of Lieutenant Macy. who was &C
quilted. He was transferred to the
