Band concert.

The very excellent programme pres
ented by the Park Region college
band of Fergus Falls ought to have
been heard by an audience which
should have crowded the normal audi
torium to excess, but only small aud
fence was present. What lack there
was in numbers was made up in en-
thusiasm and appreciation for an
evening with the masters whose com
position were splendidly interpreted,
especially so were the selections from
the grand operas. One thing was evil
dent the players were not afraid of the
scores before them and they plainly
displayed that they were well under
the magnetic spell of the conductor.
This is one band which does not waste
it's time on so-calIed popular music
it scars high and is always in The
company of great composers and the
conductor and his men are to be con-
graduated for their splendid rendi-
tons which formed an exceptionally
heavy programme.

Duluth, that there is a variance in
state weights, as compared to the ship
pers' weights ranging from 100 pounds
to 1000 and 10000 pounds, and even
as high as 21,250 pounds on a car,
either shortages, or often times over
age. OF course it is not possible for
such discrepancies to occur other than
the lack of the shipper to carefully
weigh every pound of wheat that he
has loaded into his car but instead
simply estimates his car of grain or
the car has sprung a bad leak while
in transit.
my advice to every shipper is to ac-
curately weigh your grain and show
on the shipping card the number of
loads or drafts made and the net
weight of each load or draft and total
amount of grain loaded. Then in
stead of billing out your grain at an
estimated weight according to the
size of the car loaded as all rail-
way companies and their agents ex-
act or request you to do, bill them
out at the actual weight loaded into
the car, then If you have tackled a
card on your grain door showing the
actual amount loaded in, and upon re-
ceipt of your grain, either at Duluth or
Minneapolis or any other Minnesota
weighing station, the state weigh

Judge in Jail for Contempt.

Bozeman, Mont, May Nv. H. AK
TELL justice of the peace for Gallatin
county, languishes in Jail here this
afternoon, sent here for contempt OF
the district court, and must remain
there until he finds some ready cash
or convinces Judge Stewart that he
cannot raise the necessary sum.
Judge Axtell's wife recently sued for
a divorce and a decree ordering him
to pay his wife's attorneys fees and
$40 a month temporary alimony was
issued. Axtell put up a total of S.
which, he alleged, was the amount OF
his roll, and shortly afterward he left
the state. Later he returned to his
homestead near Dillon.
The Gallatin county officers brought
him here a few days ago and he gave
bail for his appearance. When taken
before Judge Stewart he protested that
he was still penniless, but the excuse
was not accepted and he was prompt

Two men KILLED
BODIES OF BRAKEMAN AND FIRE.
MAN cREMATED IN WRECK
AT FINLAYSON.

Sandstone, Mimi, May II. - While
running twenty-five miles an hour the
Northern Pacific fast freight for Du-
luth from the twin cities was wrecked,
probably by hitting an open switch, at
Finlayson, Mimi, early yesterday. The
engine was overturned, killing w. e.
Young of st. Paul, head brakeman, and
Frank st. Johns of Duluth, fifeman.
Michael Lynch of st. Paul, engineer
of the train, was severely injured.
When the engine left the track nine of
the box cars were telescoped and, as
the cars were loaded with inf1ammable
merchandise, they soon caught fire, re-
ducing the bodies of the two men to
ashes.
Lynch, the engineer, had a miracu-
lous escape. When the engine struck
the switch he jumped through the win
dow of the cab and escaped with only
comparatively slight injuries, caused by
escaping steam.
Young was breaking on the head of
the train and was sitting with the fire.
man in the cab when the engine struck
the switch. He and the fireman were
caught in the smashed cars and crush
ed to death. The fire department at
Finlayson was soon at the scene of the
wreck and fought the fire for eight
hours.
wrecking crew was sent immed-
lately from Duluth, and at 4:30 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon had the track
cleared.

about 20 years old. st. Johns lived at

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
Market is Weak.

Chicago, May 17.--Wheat: The
market opened 1-S to 12 lower with
scattered selling but no volume of
pressure. offerings were taken by
commission houses, mostly on resting
orders. Local professionals were the
best sellers and the amount of scat
tered long wheat on the market was
surprisingly small. Outside markets,
especially the northwestern ones, were
again relatively weaker than our own.
There were scattered rains in the
northwest. Minneapolis cash wheat
steady, premiums unchanged. little
more wheat offered to arrive from the
country Kansas continues to talk of
more blowing up being done. With the
facts as above we can see only higher
prices for September wheat. The evil
dence certainly seems to be on that
side.

Grain Opinions.

Logan & Bryan: 1t is more than
likely that the local wheat trade will
get over the sold in a congested mar
ket on any further break. We believe
sales of the late corn months on hard
spots will prove profitable.
S. B. Chaplin & Co.: We believe in
ultimately lower wheat prices, think
the market should be sold only on the
strong spots on account of tight pit
conditions. With any improvement in
the shipping demand for corn prices
would advance quickly especially if
frosts should injure the new crop.

EX-CAPT. MURPHY
PLEADS NOT GUILTY

st. Paul, May 17-Smiling and cheer
full Former Captain Timothy Murphy,
of the Volunteers of America, was led
into Court Room No. l yesterday with
eight other prisoners to be arraigned
on a charge of having embezzled $1,250,
the property of the Volunteers of
America.
Not guilty" said Captain Murphy
when his turn came to stand before
Judge Hallam. Atty. James Cormican,
acting for Murphy, waived the reading
of the Volunteers of America, was led
for Monday, May %, or as soon after
wards as it may be reached. There are
two other cases set for next Monday,
both having precedence over the Muir
ply case, which probably will not be
taken up till the following Tuesday or
Wednesday.
Sticks to Original Story.
"Of course, I'm hopeful and cheerful"
said Murphy to The Dispatch reporter.
How should man look who is not
guilty and who is confident he will be
able to win out and prove his inno-
cence? I don't want to change my
story and indeed have nothing for the
newspapers except to say that l am
not guilty.
Murphy says he has been treated well
at the jail and has no complaints 10
make.
Il don't know whether we will ever
have to make defense" said Atty.
James Cormican mysteriously, when
questioned about the case. There are
many points that are defective in this
charge, but the chief fact is that no one
had any right to the money anyway,
except Tim Murphy himself.
