Minneapolis, Feb. Wheat mark
ed time throughout todays session.
Scattered profit taking checked the
strong tendency in the deferred flu
lures while May was easier, rejecting
the easier demand for casi wheat and
flour. Crop damage news, which will
dominate the market irrespective Of
commercial conditions, was very In
sistent of heavy Losses by winter
killing. A drop of 25 degrees is fore
casted by Monday and as the roots
are exposed in many sections further
damage can be done. If the tempera-
lures drops as predicted the trade will
hear very sensational news and pros
poets for a sharp advance are good.
It will take some time, however, for
the real extent Of the damage to be-
come known until more definite confir-
nation is revealed, skepticalism will
prevail resulting in a choppy market
While the present crop uncertainty
continues purchases of wheat seems
logical as the chances for a big bull
market are good. All setbacks should
prove buying spots.-Chas f, Lewis

the opening the market reacted some
on the predictions Of liberal worlds

American advance. their prices shO ing

Toward the close the market was
supported and values advanced show

was y lower than .he operRg. Sup

PAD Zinc and costs, s11s.5o.

Except for the arrest of one man in
the party of four men, who so brutally
beat UP two carpenters in Moorhead
three weeks ago. mistaking them for
scab switchmen, the case is practically
cleared up and there is now a very
prominent feather in the cap of the
Moorhead police department. If the
unarrested man has any respect for his
hide he will keep clear of Moorhead
He is known and will be arrested in
stanter il he puts in an appearance.
Before Justice Wade yesterday after
noon, Karn, first of the assailants ar
rested, was allowed TO enter a plea
of guilty to simple assault. The court
assessed a fine and costs, which
amounted to $113.5O, and the amount
was paid. Kielty and McNellis OF
Fargo. who were arrested Thursday
night, were dismissed, as they took no
part in the assault, but witnessed 1t.

MIKL READY TO
PLEAD GUILTY
REPORTED THAT GRAFTON MUIR.
DURER WILL NOT STAND
TRIAL FOR KILLING
BABE.

Grafton, N. D., Feb. 96.-That Frank
Mkt will undoubtedly confess to kill
ing his wife and child when his sec
ond case on the charge OF numbering
the babe. comes up March IL, is now
evident and it Is expected by those
who are familiar with the case that
the Walsh county Bohemian will
spend the rest of his life in Jail.
Although the confession made some
time ago to his attorney through an
interpreter is a privilege communica-
ton and cannot be used in the
trial. it is understood that there Is
no dearth of confessions in the case
and the state will have no trouble in
finding number who can testify that
Mikl told them now he killed his wife
and the child.
Following his first confession, Mkt.
who up to that time had steadily ad
hered to his first story Of the affair.
began to talk more freely and the evil
dence against him rs now said to be
such that his convition in the second
charge is practically certain. Since his
trial and, conviction the stocical dispo-
sition the murderer had. shown
through all the proceedings has given
away and he seems to be more or less
penitenta
Just what will be done in the case,
however, cannot be known until his
counsel. Attorney. J.sJ. Samson. recov-
ers from an operation for appendi-
citis which he underwent a few DAYS
ago at. local hospital He is now
gatting along nicely.

HITCHCOCK MAY
QUIT. CABINET

Washington Feb. 26.-There is good
reason to believe that Postmaster Cen
eral Hitchcock will make room in the
cabinet for some one more fully in
accord with the views of President
Taft. The recent clash over patronage
between the insurgents and the regu-
lars, which caused the president con-
siderable embarrassment, was laid to
Mr.. Hitchcock, and he did not deny
raising the storm. The president then
gave Mr.. Hitchcock to understand that
the White House must be consulted on
all matters relating to patronage in
the postoff1ce department.
This was hard blow to the postmas-
ter general who more than once had
sponsored the cause of patronage seek
ers not grata persona at the White
House. In this connection the Busse-
upham contingent of Chicago might be
mentioned.
The talk is that the postmaster gem
eral will quit the cabinet Just as soon
as the new postoffice appropriation bill
is signed. He will go to Arizona and
there are rumors of an already we'll
formed plan for Mr. Hitchcock to be
one of the first two United States SEN
ators from the new state.
1t is said that Mr.. Hitchcock with
Royal A. Smith James r. Williams.
Sidney Bleber and several other men
prominent in republicanism, has
gained control of The Daily Citizen, a
newspaper in Tuscon, and that at an
early date five new daily republican
papers, committed TO Hitchcock. will
be- Iut into the field in Arizona.
Nj. Hitchcock simply smiles and
says.
THOSE newspaper men and politi-
clans mentioned are friends Of mine"

brain.
For nearly twenty four hours his
body has been held at the Luger NOR
gue but not until Ben Hartstein OF
this city and Acting Chief Erickson OF
Moorhead appeared, was it establish-
ed who the victim was. A rambling
letter was received by the Moorhead
police, mailed at Christine, N d. writ.
ten partly in English and part in
Scandinavian. In this the writer
makes 1t known that he was unbal-
anced and that Re was going to conn

who had a trunk in storage at his
store. The name Wordbey appears ON

ed at the Gardner. and G. F. Mayors,

ing informed that it was not, he aske&
If It was Friday. He then walked off
toward the river.
Shinn testified that the man acted
suspicious like" and he remarked to
farm laborers that he feared the
stranger would take his life. 1t was
less than an hour afterwards that the
body of the man was discovered on the
river bank by M. Murie, boy at

was returning home on the Minnesota
side when he saw the body. Several
witnesses were examined at the cor

chases on stocks.
s. r. Chaplin & Co: Stocks are in
stronger hands than they have been
I'm some time and with any increase
in trading we look for better prices.
Clement curtis & Co: Stock mar
ket is showing some heaviness as there
has been no general response to the
efforts to advance prices.
( Walter Fitch & Co: The outlook
Is much better than a fortnight ago
and business interests talk hope fully.
Farson Son & Co: While the mar
ket continues narrow, we would buy
stocks on moderate setbacks and take
small profits.
