Writes Of the Grain situation &
! u the Big Terminals. l.


Deen received at State Headquarters
at Casselton, that the grain interests
5at5the terminals are scattering broad
cast, IN formation to the effect that
the prevailing high prices, In wheat
will not long prevail /; and that the
farmers should hasten to market
,theirs wheat. We desire to call at
,tention, first to the object Of such.
information, and secondly to the re-
suits if the advice were followed.
'Thesreports are not given out in the
interests of the. farmers but simply
by and in the interests Of the men.
who have large contracts to cover
and who must do something to bear,
down the high prices which now pre-
vail. II their advice were followed. !.
and treat quantities Of wheat should
lbs rushed to marked, the prices
SWotild inevitably fall and the farmers
would be the losers. In the latter
part pf last week shipments Of wheat
we're unusually land you know
the slump in prices which followed.
peculiar situation exists at the
terminals at The present time. In the,
sfirst place there is q great demand
Tor cash wheat. You have probab-}
that all fall cash transact
ions! have been above the options;
and fthe mills are grinding to their
fullest capacity. In the second place
there Is a very small amount of,
wheat in storage at present Duluth,
has but eight and half million bush-.
els. Minneapolis only two and q half
millions, as compared with twenty
seven millions a year ago. The situ-t
alton as viewed by the grain dealers
is alarming. In company
with a North Dakota delegation, the;
writer visited the Chamber Of Com
merces today, while there, was: asked
|torsxn estimate OF the amount Of
North sDakotaswhea now marketed. /.
3Isplaced this at fifty per cent, which
believe Eis conservative estimate
AT this, the commission man exclaim-;;
ed: With only two and 9 half mil
lions in storage and fifty per cent OF
the wheat: marketed. what IN the
name Of God are we going to do?"
This I'D the sentiment which pre-
walls in the wheat pits today. The
yield this year has been over esti-i
mated i believe, one-fourth per cent.
and no allowance has been made for;
the large amount Of Durum wheat.
now grown in the, Northwest, which
is practically all being shipped a.
broad. II, therefore, the farmers
will continue to market as they have
been taught In the past, there is no
danger that prices are going to fall.
In view of the above. i am positive
that cash transact tions IN December
will be above 81 10 per bushel. sj

INSURANCE BULLETIN |.


Compiled by State Commissioners
E.. g. Cooper !;
We have been informed that the
sWinona, MINI, Fire and the North
American Accident Insurance COM
panies have been accepting fire risks
on grain in this state. We wish TO
warn the public that neither Of these
companies have authority to transact
such business. The North American
Accident Insurance Co, is licensed
in North Dakota to transact the bus
iness Of health and accident insur-
ance, but no provision is found in
their charter for taking fire risks OF
any kind, and the Winona Fire In
;surance Co., is not licensed to tram
,sact any kind OF insurance In this
state.
We heartily commend the move
ment for the prevention of disease
on the part Of several OF the life
companies, and look forward to dn-
creased activities In the held ~
the success Of the initiatory effort 70
proven as it assuredly will be. Muck
time and money is spent annually In
awakening the people to the neces-
sity Of doing their part toward les
ssening the enormous fire waste aaeh
year, and the success of this endeav-
or is found to be beneficial to tho
insured as well as the insurer. The
same should be true in the life and
health field, as whatever reduces the
ravages of sickness and disease, and
brings about more sanitary and
healthful condition of living ID. NUT
ually beneficial. We hope to see the
most gratifying success attend this
endeavor. y +
We notice in the October 14th fs-
sue of Rough Notes that a North Da-
kota license has been granted to tho
Atlas Fire Insurance Company. OF

pierced the edge OF the left lung and
emerged just under the left shoulder blade.
They found two severe conclusions on the
skull where Franc was struck by Pride

fired. The wound, the doctors testified, in
dictated that Francis was shot as he was

when shot.

Louis Francis, the negro shot by George
Pride Al the latter's residence, 1925 Avenue
a. Wednesday noon, died at an early hour
Yesterday morning at the Edmundson
Memorial hospital, where he was taken
soon after the shooting.
An information charging Pride with
murder was filed yesterday morning by
Assistant County Attorney Dillon Ross and
Pride's preliminary hearing was set for
this morning before Judge Snyder. The
understanding yesterday was that Pride
would waive a preliminary hearing and
allow the case to go direct to the district
grand Jury, which will convene August 81.
At the inquest held yesterday afternoon
at the county court house by Coroner
Treynor, the jury composed of n. w.
Williams, o. ]. McManus and Frank c.
Hendricks, returned the following verdict:
That Louis Francis came to his death
by a gunshot wound from a revolver In
the hands OF one George Pride.
Pride was not present at the inquest
and his wife. although anxious to testify,
was not allowed to take the stand by At
torney Charles NJ. Harl, appeared
for Pride.
There was no evidence at the inquest in
support OF Prlde's assertion that he shot
Francis after the latter nad attacked MN
with a razor. On the other hand, such tes-
timony as was presented tended to show
that Pride deliberately shot and fatally
wounded Francis after Pride had accused
Francis Of being intimate with Mrs. Pride

DIR. Donald Macrae and City Physician
Tubbs, who attended Francis, testified L
the ante-mortem statement made by tn
dying negro. They said that Francis, wht
fully realized that he had but a short Will,
to live, between his gasps for breath, tn,
bullet from Pride's revolver having pierced
his lung, begged to be permitted to knee
md make a statement. This the doctor
refused on account of the nature of tn
mans wound, and Francis, with uplifteC
hand, swore before God that what he SAT-
was the truth. He said that Pride UNJUST!

(Fride's) wife and shot him without an!

TRUSTEES ron PENSION FUND
Council Preparing to Put New La

-
Council Preparing to Put New Law
in Operation.
The city council. It is expected, will at
it's meeting next Monday night take steps
to organise boards Of trustees to have
charge OF the pension funds for retired
and disabled members Of the police and fire
under the law providing for
such pensions, which went into effect on
July T.
Under the statute the city treasurer and
city solicitor are made members Of both
boards OF trustees, acting in one case with
the chief OF the fire department and in
the other with the chief OF the police de-
partment.
The law provides in relation to each PEN
sion fund that "all rewards in money, fees,
gifts or emoluments of every kind or ma
ture, except when allowed 20 be retained
or given to endow a medal or other pre-
manent or competitive reward on account
Of extraordinary services, and all fines and
penalties imposed upon members shall be
paid into said pension fund"
The question has arisen whether the prize
money won by the Council Bluffs fire team
at the recent state firemen's tournament
at Davenport must be turned into the pen.
sion fund for the fire department. This Il
a question which will have to be deter
mined by the trustees.
The city council has ordered a tax lev,
of u mill for each pension fund, which
will bring in a revenue OF about 81, 900 foI
each fund. No pensions can be paid t.
either firemen or police officers befor,
January /, 1910, and so far no application,
have been made by members Of either de
partment, Several applications can b,
looked for, 1t is said. before the first Of IN
year.
