the nominees with him for the minor
offices and for the board Of estimates
and apportionment being the same as
the nominees on the republican ticket.
This explains the support of Mr.. Hearst
by w. NJ. WINS, republican candidate
for mayor in 1905 against Mr.. Hearst.
1t also explains why MIR. Hearst is be-
ing held up now by the high. brows"
among the Independents and republic
cans as performing a high public serv-
ice by his candidacy. You see, it is all
a game for the control of the 1885,
100000 a year.
The support of Mr.. Hearst by men
who heretofore have been his personal
and political enemies is due to the be-
lief by these men of Mr.. Hearst's abil-
ity to draw enough votes from Tam
many to secure the election of the flu
sion candidates for the board of esti-
mates and apportionment. These are
great times for Hearst, who does not
have to bark back very far to recall
when he was defeated for the gov
ernorship OF New York thru the in
t1uence of President Roosevelt, who de-
nounced him as an anarchist. Now he
is called on by the republican party to
help save the city of New York from
the hands of men who are alleged to
be opposed to all good government

LIKE FINDING MONEY.
Hamilton County Farmer Realizes
$4,000 Profit on Land in 8 Years.

Webster City, Oct. 23.-Eight years
ago this month, G.. w. Robinson came
to Hamilton county from Illinois. He
made the purchase of a good farm, and
it cost him around $50 an acre. From
time to time he has purchased other
land, amounting in all to some few
acres over 800. During the past month
he has sold every inch of his Hamll-
ton county land. Aside from profits out
of crops the raise of the land amounts
to over $4,000. Eight acres of this
/ was sold to Peter Frohling at $112.50
an acre; 1856 acres sold at $95 per
acre to James Ramsey, and 81 acres
sold to Col. Charles Marvel. The lan1
Is all located between this city and
Blairsburg.
A fortune made in land is the above
case. There are many Hamilton coun-
ty farmers who are confronted with the
same gold mine Land in Illinois, they
say, has raised from SIS to 25 per acre
within the past few months. 1t is like
wise on the raise here. A hundred dol
lars an acre sounds big to the Iowan
but to the Illinoian 1t looks like a
snap" 1t will only be a matter of q
few Years, when the same Iowa land
that is now selling at the hundred dol
lar mark will bring twice this price,
and the man who has the courage to
stay by it, like Mr. Robinson did on
his $50 an acre land, will reap for
tune likewise.

FlENps SET BOY ON FIRE.
Act Traced to Rage over Campaign
Against Saloon.

Aneta, N. D., Oct. 22.-Citizens pass
ing by Aneta park last might stared
transfiXed at a flaming figure, running
thro the streets, trailed by sheets Of
fire, out of which issued terrifying
Shrieks.
Kenneth. the 12-year- son of 81
mon Mckenzie, a butcher, while deliv-
ering packages of meat for his father
had been met in the dark avenues Of
the park by two men, who hurled him
to the ground, poured oil from his own
lantern over him and ignited it. The
fiends then fed.
The youth rolled over on the grass,
then leaping to his feet, screamed ut
the top of his voice in torture and
rushed like meteor to the street. Pas
sersby bore him to the ground and
quenched the fire with parts of their
clothing. If he survives he will be dis
figured for life.
ON account of the prominence of
Simon Mckenzie in the fight wagad
here against the liquor element, the
deed is ascribed to that class.
1t is believed the men who commit
ted the crime were under the influence
of liquor.

Grain Market Conditions.

by E. j. Moore. Correspondent "A
East Main Street; Phone 6Sl
We wish TO call your attention TO
present conditions in the corn trade as
We see them. The corn crop of the
country is a short crop with the eX-
ception of the eastern half of Illinois.
and the state of Indiana. Producers in
these two states, having an early good
promise, sold heavily from AZ to As
cents on track at country stations. Deal
ers and country grain men hedged up
pretty Well by sales to arrive and by
sales of the futures in Chicago on all
low bought stuff. Then later on coun-
try grain men paid 30 cents to the
farmer and they stood long a large
portion of the grain. his we believe
was largely hedged on the break from
So TO 591s cents, after May corn sold
as high as IS cents.
A very large part of the low priced
corn was sold for export. probably at
least 15.000,O00 bushels has been SO
placed through New orleans, Baltimore
and New York Large quantities have
also been sold by shippers TO the New
England trade for winter and spring
shipment. The farmer now appears 10
have sold about all he cares to sell at
30 cents and some of the best grain
men estimate that farmers have all
ready sold from 80 to so per cent Of
the amount which they will sell dur
ing the entire crop year. Iowa. and Me-
braska have sold practically no new
corn to arrive and farmers at these
stations are holding for 80 cents per
bushel Kansas farmers are now Sc
curing 80 cents per bushel for their new
corn. SO much for the producer
I On the consuming side, we have very
short crops, both of fodder and corn
turnout New England and the southern
states The east has the buying power
because the mills are now very busy
and the south has the buying power
because of the high prices for cotton,
even tho they had had a short crop.
New England will be a heavy consumer
of corn during the coming year and it
is not unlikely that high pr'ces for
cotton this year will encourage a large
acreage next spring, which will mean
they will have TO have large quantities

N. E. WARD THE
 VICTIM OF A THIEF
Purchased a Mule Last Week for S65.O0 That Had Been Stolen at
 GurdOn.

Sheriff J. H. Abrams, of Clark County, while in the city yester- day located and identified mule stolen from negro at Gurdou last Thursday, and sold to N. E. Ward of this place for $65.
 The thief, a white man, had borrowed the mule from the ne gro just after noon and before night had disposed of the animal. Immediately after the sale the thief, who gave his name as Jon. es, went to the Prescott Supply & Hardware Co.,, where he pur- chased a suit of clothes and some other articles, leaving town some time during the night. He is re. ported to have been seen in Cur don on the following night.
 MT. Ward turned the mule ov- CT to the Sheriff, and will make an attempt to catch the thief. Clark County has an Anti Horse Thief Association, and there is a standing reward for all offenders of that kind, and not one has yet escaped capture since the associ- ation was organized.
 Mir. Ward left this morning for Gurdon to get some further clue rewarding the man.
