berkeley IS NOT KNOWN
Man Hurt in ST. Louis Yesterday, Said
to Be From Fargo, Cannot Be
Identified Here.

A ST Louis dispatch was sent out
last evening containing the account Of
an accident 10 a man named H. F.
Berkeley, said to be from Fargo. Berk-
ley's name is not in the city directory
and, careful inquiry failed to reveal
any person in this city who knew him.
The dispatch says:
st. Louis, Mo-, Aug. ia sixty
horsepower touring car, driven at full
speed, today missed the approach to
the Olive street bridge and fell thirty
five feet into Bonhomme creek, killing
one of its four occupants, including H.
+. Berkeley of Fargo, N. d. Berkley's
legs are crushed and he is thought TO
be internally injured, but the physi-
clans stated that he and the other two
injured men, H. M. Harris and H. w.
Meyerhoff, will probably recover.
The fourth member of the party,
Charles G. Morris. assistant credit maa
at the Grand Leader, met instant
death. Berkeley was pinioned under
the machine, and probably would have
drowned had not his head been held
above the water by MeyerhoT until
rescuers could free him by cutting
away his coat.

Freight CARS
OFFICER ELsTAD PICKS UP MAN,
WHO, WHEN "UNLoADED" AT
HEADQUARTERS PROVED TO BE
A TRAVELLING CARAVAN ALL
ROLLED IN ONE.

A human freight car was picked up
by Officer Elstad this morning. The
bullying pockets OF the mans clothes
reused the officers suspicious and he
was taken 10 headquarters and search
ed.
At headquarters the man gave his
name as George Smith. From his per-
son were taken one Colt auto revolver,
loaded, one Hopkins & Allen blue re-
volver also loaded and both 80 calibre:
two Ingersol watches and a better one,
which was running at right time; one
fancy blue handled razor on the blade
OF which was the name ~. E. Tierney,"
four cheap spectacles in cases, new:
two pearl handled knives and five
large jack knives, cake of soap, time
tables, note books, keys, several silver
dollars and a variety of small truck
which made up quite a bundle. In one
of the books was a perfectly clean
business card of the Fargo Loan Of
fee, 20S Front street, Fargo. Chief
Malvey has listed the revolvers, etc.,
and he proposes to hold Smith as a.
suspect for a few days to allow of in
vestigation and to try and get a clue
to the reyolvers by means of the fac
tory numbers on each of them.
The revolvers tally with two OF the
guns stolen from the Moorhead Hard
ware Co. store week or two ago but
verification of the serial factory mum.
bers will have to be awaited before alb,
solute Identification can be determined
as to whether the guns have been
stolen in Moorhead. Mr. Vincent of
the hardware company says the Colts
auto revolver is exactly like one ne
had in his show case. Smith is vers
reticent, and while he resembles "a
working man his hands belle that, as
they are soft and don't show that any
hard work has troubled them in the
least, not for a long time at any rate.
A very clean bill will have to be shown
before Smith shifts free air again, ano
if the revolver numbers tell, the story
expected he will surely be held to the
grand jury.

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY


Chicago, Aug. 1S.-The wheat market
opened about steady, and ruled very
dull all day within a narrow range
Around $1.01 for September wheat
there seemed to be resting orders
again. Sca-board reported some In
ouiry for No. 2 Red for export. Lo-
cally there were some bids here TOT
No hard winter which looked Ike
export business and we hear OF 10000
bushels sold to go to Montreal for ex-
port. The weakness in the nearby po-
sition is the weight on the market and
the demand, as yet, is not heavy
enough to relieve this situation. We
believe however, that the demand will
come and that the movement will be
materially lighter shortly and We favor
the long side on recessions.

Liverpool. Aug. lS.--The wheat mar

ing American cables yesterday and
values were ss to II lower. Following
the opening firm undertone develop
ed as offerings became light and shorts
covered which caused an advance Of Ii

most distant month. Buying was at
tributed to continue unfavorable re-
ports from France and a renewal of
buying by France of distant cargoes.
Cargoes off coast and on passage were
light and were in good request. Danu-
bian offers are firTner and private re-
ports are being received here of less
favorable weather conditions in Cana
da. The market on the whole was
dull. but firm with prices considerably
up from the opening and * lower to u
higher than yesterday at 1880 p. m. The
corn market at the opening was effect
ed by the lower American cables and
prices eased "a. Later, this decline was
recovered and the undertone developed
firmness on the predictions of lighter
shipments from Argentine and a good
inquiry for plate parcels which are
more firmly held Broomhall.

EAST SIDE NOTES.

Four saloon men at East Grand
Forks, William Russell, William Cor
man, Joe Jarvis and Emil Brink, have
been arrested on complaint Of the
chief of police for violating the Sun
day closing law, last Sunday. 1t Is
said the defendants had been boasting
that they were political pets and that
they would not be interfered with, but
the officials of the city administration
say that the town is now uncomfort-
ably close to the defined district" line
that it will not pay to take risks.
Wheat yields about Breckenridge and
Kent in Wilkin county are ranging
about eleven to fifteen bushels 10 the
acre and 1t is of excellent quality, ac-
cording to the best authorities, AT
Kent, too, there are some very good
potatoes. One farmer, Martin Martin
son, has a field of thirteen acres which
are turning out abundantly

According to Mr.. Stranahan of the
Fargo Bridge & Iron Co., the repairs
to the east end of the north bridge
will be sufficiently in progress to al
low the bridge to be opened for traffic
next Monday. Mr.. Stranahan says
that the employee who gave out the
report that 1t would take two months
TO do the work, instead of fifteen days,
was blacksmith who was sore at
being discharged for incompetency Mr..
Stranahan added that the company
was not in the habit of putting UP
bonds to do work in fifteen days
which is likely to take two months to
complete.
Detective Batten of the Northern
Pacific has been authorized to add
two more watchmen for service In the
Dilworth yards and they will be given
police authority. Mr.. Batten today in
vited Chief Malvey TO assist him in
the selection of the men; one condition
was that they must be married mon
with families, residing in one or other
of the two towns. The crowds of men
who have begun to infeSt the DlIworth
yards has made the additional pre-
caution necessary. Hereafter loafers
and those of the vagrant classes will
be given no quarter in Dilworth.
Frank j. Hanson, special agent of
the Germania Fire Insurance Co, was
in the city today on business connected
with the adjustment of the Moorhead
laundry losses. The formal adjustment
was postponed until next Monday to
allow the presence of other agents, as
Mr.. Hanson, considered the job too
complicated to do alone Mr. Erickson
of the laundry considers that the loss
is so near total that there is no room
for a bubble.

HAY FEVER DAYS.

Minot Reporter: Now comes the
dread hay fever days-the saddest Of
the year-when every breeze contains
a sneeze, and all is dark and dreary.
Competent authority has declared
hay fever to be nervous disease
Representatives, of the pollent of one
particular kind of weed. Some people
are affected by one kind of weed and
some by another. Relief may be found
by going some place where the one
particular weed is not. The hay fever
victim must first identify his weed and
then dodge it,
There are certain favored sections
of the country that are practically des-
titute Of hay fever producing weeds
There the sneezers go at this time of
year, console each other between
wheezes, and then forget to wheeze 1t
would seem then that the one panacea
for hay fever is to have a bank ac-
count large enough to enable the vic
tim to take a six weeks vacation in
the right place. And the right place,
be 1t noted, is becoming more difficult
to find every year. The place now
immune from hay fever becomes a fan
resort. Cottages are built and weeds
that would not thrive in the woods find
lodgment on grassy lawns neglected in
the dull season. After that 1t is all
off with the hay fever cure and the vic
time HES him to another place.
Dostors declare that some sases of
hay fever can be cured by a surgical
operation; just case of removing the
offending membrane from the nose. In
the circumstances one may be justified
in telling the hay fever sufferer when
he sneezes to "cut 1t OUT

PUBLIC DRINKING
CUP Is GOING
NO STATE LEGISLATION IN
NORTH DAKOTA, BUT VERY PRO-
5ARLE STATE WILL GET IN
LINE AT NEXT SESSION OF LEG
ISLATURE.

The crusade against the public
drinking cup has been in earnest
throughout the United States. In
nearly every state in the union there
against it's use.
The state of wisconsin has already
by strict legislation abolished the pub
lie drinking cup on railroad trains,
stations, public, parochial and private
schools and all other educational in
stitutions in that state. This is the
sixth state to take official acton in
his regard within the last ten months
and it is not at all doubtful that North
Dakota will fan to line within the
next few months.
Governor Eberhart, of Minnesota,
is strongly set against public cups
THE unsanitary public cup should be
done away with" declared the gov
ernor recently. Whether il is advis-
able to install the fountain cannot
say but it surely would be better to
have individual cups than the present
obnoxious practice. / shall heartily
support any recommendation along
this line which the state board of
health shall make. So far as the
schools are concerned, / am convinc-
ed that II is a little short of crime
to permit the public cup to be used"
Individual drinking cups will be
furnished to the students in the pub
lie schools of this city next fall, and
1t is hoped that before long flowing
fountains may be installed for the
protection Of all against that trans
mitter of disease, the public cup.

SURVEY PASSES FERGUS
indications That Milwaukee Is Coming
Direct to Moorhead and Fargo
Continue to Grow.

Indications continue to point towards
the possibility of the new line-which
seems to be heading this way from
Hutchinson, Minn.-coming to Moot
head and Fargo. The surveyors are in
the employ of the Chicago, Milwaukee
e. ST. Paul Railroad Co.
The surveying party which has been
camped at Fergus Falls since last Fri
day began to move on from that city
yesterday and they expect, to pitch
the next camp in the vicinity of Car
isle, eight miles northwest of Fer
gus. This makes IL evident that the
engineers expect to continue TO follow
the line OF the Great Northern and
are heading for Fargo and Moorhead--
doubtless having Winnipeg as their
objective point The surveyors ran a
second line through Fergus Falls yes
terday, but it follows their former line
very closely and indicates that the
route to be chosen is about as outlined
few days ago.
