A MIxuP WITH CHECKS.
A North Dakota Man Issues Phony
Checks on Saloon Men.

A well dressed man, Matt Higman,
who gave his home as Medina, N. D.,
was before Justice Malloy, in the po-
lice court this morning, charged with
uttering worthless checks to the value
of $50 in two of the saloons in the
city a week ago. The complaining
witnesses were Ed Smith and Toby
Edwards. The checks were drawn
upon the German State bank of Medi-
ma and it was alleged that there had
never been an account In that bank.
The defendant who had evidently been
drinking hard contended that he meant
no wrong and that he had means and
friends who would make things right.
Later in the day Higman got into
communication with friends at Medina
who instructed friend in Fargo to
pay the demands of the complaining
witnesses and costs and secure the
release of Higman. The latter is said
to have a substantial interest in a
valuable stretch of land in Stutsman
county. N. D. Higman faced very
serious charge but the court took a
lenient view of the matter and urged
the defendant to rally his friends and
make restitution to the men he had
obtained money from.

Wheat Condition,

Chicago May 11.-Cables / to IA
lower on wheat owing to failures in
Russia and pressure to sell there.
Conditions are practically unchanged
in this country, clear and cool in the
spring wheat belt. Some rain in the
southern part of the winter wheat belt,
but not where most needed. Both Du-
luth and st. Louis May wheat closed
higher than Chicago last night so
there will be no pressure on cash
wheat. We still believe present con-
ditions justify higher prices for the
next crop.
The weather keeps cool for corn
Planting goes on slowly, but conditions
are not favorable. We do not feel
like selling corn short until we have
better weather. We prefer to keep
off the short side of Sept oat until
the weather conditions change little
for the better. Receipts of hogs light.
Hogs cents higher. Probably give
us strong provision markets.

STATE AUDITORS
ARE in SESSION
Continued From Page ore.

yesterday were as to what an election
notice should contain and as to
whether or not county auditor
should accept the fees for filing can
didates petitions for the primary cleo
tions as provided under the laws Of
1907 This law provides that a fee
equal to / per cent of the annual sal
airy of the office sought, shall be paid
by the candidate to the county audi
tor and that such candidates petition
should be signed by at least s per cent
Of the legal voters casting a ballot for
the office seeker or his predecessor at
the last election. The law of 1905,
providing for such fees, was declared
unconstitutional some time during the
year 1907, and during the session Of
the legislature of that year another
law was passed.
The new law has caused a great
deal Of discussion among auditors and
states attorneys throughout the state
and received a great deal of attention
at the sessions Of both these organiza-
tions yesterday afternoon. Some of
the auditors were of the opinion that
the fees should be collected, while
others held that the law was un-
constitutional and, therefore, no fee
should be paid for the filing of petit
tons. Several auditors reported that
their board of county commissioners
had passed resolutions ordering them
not to accept the fees. Several of the
auditors present held that the county
commissioners had no right to take
such setps, and that, as long as the
present law had not been declared UNI
constitutional the fees should be ac-
cepted.

Chicago Gossip.


Chicago, May 11-Gossip among
wheat traders was inclined to the bear
side last night. Commercial conditions
are adverse to the bulls and the i'm
preston among operators was that the
market is in a position where constant
buying is necessary to keep prices on
the upward movement. 1t was that
said that the wire orders to sell wheat
which came through Bartlett, Patten
house were more numerous yesterday
than the buying orders. 1t has been
this character Of selling for several
days that has led some of the traders
to believe that the bull leaders were
getting out of their wheat May wheat
is now the center Of attraction. The
leading bull interest is said to have
done no selling of late, while the bears
have become aggressive and are using
every effort to get prices down so that
they can cover.
