For some time the officials of the
German colony In southwest Africa
noticed that the telegraph wires and
other accessories OF the electrical plant
disappeared as by magic Immediately
after they had been put up The most
diligent inquiries remained fruitless.
From other parts OF the German pos
sessions came reports OF strange pre-
objections for articles OF German com
mercc as, for example, rubber heels,
carriers. buckles, and so forth. things
which the natives OF those countries do
not generally use.
The governor Of the colony gave an
entertainment one year in honor Of
the emperor birthday and invited the
chiefs of the different tribes to it.
What was his surprise when he saw
these native gentlemen appear with
his stolen telegraph wires twisted
round their illustrious necks. The
higher the dignity the more rings Of
the wire were round the neck.
Inquiries were soon started in the
outlying villages. and it came to light
that the white china insulators of the
telegraph poles had become earrings

MINNESOTAN IN FAVOR
OF BOURNE'S LAND BILL

Washington, April s. - Senator
Bourne's plan to make it legal for
homesteaders in semi-arid regions to
remain off their claims, but reduir-
ing them to bring half the land under
cultivation, has attracted attention in
other states One man in Minneapo>
lis has determined to go to Oregon
on the strength of its allurements. He
thus wrote to Senator Bourne:
Minneapolis Mimi, March 21.-
Dear Sir-I see you have introduced
a new bill or measure in congress
have read the letter you wrote to the
Harvey County News in February. l
think that would be n grand good
scheme; ii would give so many a
chance to get farm where in the old
way they never will be able to get
one. I am included in this lot. I
hope you will be able to get this
through. For one you have my best
wishes for your success and hope you
will succeed. I belong to Minnesota,
but next month I start for Oregon to
make my future home. If I can make
good l will locate in Burns. Hoping
to hear more from the bill if you
would kindly inform me. Respect
fully, "E. f. MILTON.

Chicago, April Wheat market
changed base today and closed 3-S to

At the opening of the market this

to sell wheat and in the May there
was an initial loss of Sac a bushel
This was the only sever spell of weak
ness shown at the start July being
1-Sc lower and September unchanged
as compared with yesterdays closing.
Increasing cloudiness was reported
today through the entire middle west
wheat belt and this gave the market
its early weakness.
Foreign markets were generally
lower although Budapest held an ad-
vance of IA at the closing. Liver
pool opened 5-Sd lower and closed
with a loss of 1-Sd from yesterday.

CATTLE ARE VERY.
lD|FF|CULT TO GET.
STOCKMARKET AT PERIOD
BETWEEN THE SEASONS
Shipments at Present Coming Princl-
pally from Montana and Portland
Is Competing Successfully With
Others,

Portland Union Stockyards, April
There was heavy run Of cattle
again in the yards today, one party
bringing in IT loads from Montana.
Montana is the scene of the fight
between the middle west and Pacific
coast markets at the present time and
the fact that Portland is drawing
heavily upon the cattle of that section
indicates that shippers are actually
receiving more money by dealing with
this city than with Omaha, Kansas
City or st. Joseph.
At the present time the trade Is
standing between seasons. 1t is rath-
er late for fed stuff and yet too early
for grass cattle. Therefore the pick
ing is light and high prices must be
offered to induce shipments in any
direction.
Good steers, and in fact all good
cattle are extremely scarce and very
hard to obtain, even at top prices.
Hogs are quoted firm, with small
arrivals today, although a fair num-
Der put in an appearance yesterday
Sales are still being made at $11@
Ills.
lambs Sell at 50.
Demand for good sheep is very
firm, but little real top quality has
been received in this market recently.
Today's arrivals of sheep and lambs
totaled 169 head. One sale of lambs
was made at 80, while sheep ruled
at IS during the day. The latter av-
eraged from 90 to 95 pounds, while
the lambs went at close to A pounds.
Advces from the interior are to the
effect that quite liberal shipments of
sheep and lambs will be made to the
local market within the next two
weeks. Several shipments will come
out of Prineville within that period.
Among the Shippers.
Frank c. Sharkey came home from
Montana with II loads of cattle. Fiji
teen loads were from Dillon and two
loads from Red Rock.
j. C. Davis made his appearance
from Shields, Or. with a mixed load
of hogs and sheep TO-DAY.
Another arrival from Shedds was
G. Berdick who came to the yards
with a mixed load of cattle and calves.
j. S. Flint, the regular" from
Junction City renewed acquaintances
in the stockyards today. He brought
forward a load of sheep.
Today's run of livestock compares
with this day in recent years as fol-
lows:

Roosevelts itinerary is so arranged
that he will be in England during a
critical political situation, when an
election possible may be in progress.
Few believe that the colonel will!
be able to refrain from voicing his
sentiments in regard to the British
politics and it is believed that ex-
pressions coming from him might do
much toward influencing the out
come of the elections.
1t is recognized, however, that
there is no use to try to prevent him
from talking freely on whatever
pleases him as result the prevailing
feeling Of apprehensiveness in politi-
cal anticipation as it is known that his
opinions, publicly voiced, are certain to
have far reaching consequences.

is DRIVEN MAD BY
A THREAT OF DEATH

Paris.-"You are condemned to
DEATH signed by the hand of an
Apache, was the notice which a young
workman received one day in a seal
ed envelope. The mysterious message
had such an effect on his mind that
it actually drove him mad, and, worse
than all, when he was released from
an asylum after he had been cured, he
enjoyed his freedom only a few days
before he was stabbed to death, prob
ably by the same hand that had writ
ten the threat.
a few years ago the young work
man happened to make the acquaint-
ance of some Apaches, who were then
spending money freely, and who had
invited him to share in their revels
He thus learned that the money was
the proceeds of robbery and murder.
and when he was arrested with the
Apaches he told all he knew about
the crime. He was acquitted as hav-
ing had nothing to do with it, while
the Others were sentenced, but imme-
diately after his release he received
the above message. Having a very i'm
pressionable mind, he left the quarter
and as he had to go through his mill
tary service at a place some distance
from Paris, he felt safe for two years
at least. But when he returned to
Paris the same mysterious message
was received, 1t drove him frantic
and for some months he was taken
care of in an asylum. At the end of
that time he returned to Paris, but
settled in a different quarter. The
third day after his arrival he ventur-
ed out for a walk with a friend of his,
and was standing in the street talk
ing to him, when some one ran by
and stabbed him with a stiletto near
the heart. He fell down and died in
few minutes, while the murderer es-
capped in the darkness. The Apaches
had carried out their threat of re-
venge.
