CONCERT BAND ON TOUR.
concordia Organization Gave Splendid
Concert Last Night.

The concert by the Concordia COL
lege band in the auditorium of the in
stitution last evening was all that could
be desired and every number on the
splendidly arranged programme was a
decided treat. 1t was a programme
to meet general demands, at the same
time there was no attempt to give So
called cheap rag time or popular music
The opening number was a march by
PAMELA and it was played with pre-
cision and spirit, the different sections
meeting the demands of the director
to nicely. Later compositions by De-
pref, Schumann, Sousa and Mendels-
sohn were splendidly interpreted, and
the pleasure they gave to the audience
was reflected in the quality of the APP
plause. Miss Romsdahl sang as sweetly
as ever and she received unstinted APP
plause after her bell solo by Stobbe.
The numbers of the college octette
proved very attractive assistance to
the band, but owing to being overcome
with the excessive heat. Miss Void
had to retire and so the second soprano
voice was absent. The double quar-
tette, a selection. from the oratorio
Elijah, was one Of the treats of the
evening and added dignity to the pro-
gramme. On its tour of nearby towns,
which begins next Saturday at Hills
boro, the band will be assisted by Miss
Romsdahl and the octette. Next Sun
day the band will be at Buxton and
Reynolds, where concerts appropriate
for the day will be given. The tour
concludes at Mcyville next Wednes-
day.

The other woman smiled and said
easily, Yes it does. You are rather
an attractive little woman but your
dress looks untidy."
Well" gasped the other woman in
angry surprise, Il don't care for any
of your help" And she fiounced
around in the seat as if the pleasant
voiced woman had insulted her.

cording to my ideas. But so many

So many people don't want to be set
right! Is not that true? They love
their little foibles and hug their de-
lusions to their breast despite the
warnings of older and more expert
enced friends.
If it isn't "unreachable fourth but
TONS" it is something else that is
wrong and that we hope to set right
by word out of wisdom and expert
ence.
The child with blistered fingers

The mistakes we make and the fing-

the best teacher. l think lives are
ruined by this heedlessness, unneces-
sarily often.
Why will not children - and older
persons-listen to advice?
True, the cheapest thing in the world
today is advice. 1t is like the air
free and untaxable
Like the air it is invaluable. we
have always had it. 1t costs nothing
and we never stop even to think what
it is worth to us. Let us come to q
place where the air is shut off and we
soon find that life may do without
| everything else almost, but that the
end comes without the supply of clear
cheap universal air.
SO with advice. Wiser and Older
people can give us much of value il
we want to be set right People whS
think deeply on many subjects have
a message for us. Those whose bust

viewpoints will give us a lift on the
right road to higher and better thing:
If we will only take heed.

DIVERS TO SEARCH
The LAKE BOTTOM.
AMERICAN CONSUL is TIRELEsS
I'M EFFORT TO PROBE lTAL-
IAN MYSTERY.

Como, Italy, June 16.-Professional
divers began today a search in Lake
Como for the body of Porter Charlton.
They were engaged by the government
upon the insistence Of Charles IA.
Caughy, the American consul at Milan,
who holds to the theory that the per-
son or persons who murdered Mrs.
Mary Scott Castle Charlton, and,
placing her body in trunk sank 1t
in the lake, disposed in similar fash
ion of her husbands body.
The police do not incline stongly to
the theory of a double murder, and
after the bottom of the lake had been
dragged in spots with graphing hooks.
they were prepared to abandon this
line of investigation. Mr.. Caughy,
however, urged that further search be
made by divers and the Italian authors
ties yielded to the wishes of the con-
sui.
The arrival today Of divers from
Genoa caused much excitement among
the peasants of the neighborhood, who
appear to be absorbed in the mystery.
The belief is strong among many, in
GLIDING the police, that Charlton is
now on board a steamer bound for
New York.

Forest fires Wednesday afternoon
destroyed the logging camps OF the Be
midi Lumber Co., two miles west of
Keliher, also the entire logging out
fit of Mayor Parker of Bemidji, who
has had seventy-five men summer log
ging for the Bemidji Lumber Co.
The fire had burned slowly several
hours and men in camp thought the
fire could not touch the camps. A
change Of the wind brought the fire
to the camps and burned all of the
buildings and the logging outfit. No
person or animals were injured, Park
er's loss is in the neighborhood Of
$1,000. The fire is said to be under
control, but has burned considerable
small standing lumber.

Grain Opinions.

Bartlett Patton & Co: The wheat
market continues a nervous one with
rapid price changes as trade is so
largely professional. We think the
long side on weak spots by far the
safer proposition. Local pit and
weather conditions are the factors in
corn at the moment. The oat market
had been sold at a standstill on b,t
liant outlook and Wednesdays ad-
vances was only natural. There is
quite a feeling that oats are low
enough anyway.
Logan g. Bryan: Wheat is market
on which profits may we'll be protect
ed on either strong swells or sharp
breaks. The market will turn on wet
or dry harvests southwest and weather
conditions northwest.
S. B. Chaplin & Co: Wheat is now
on fair basis Of value and purchases
on the soft spots should be made. A
conservative bullish attitude is indi-
Gated by present conditions in corn.
Ware & Leland: While sentiment
In wheat is inclined to be slightly
bearish on the approach Of the harvest
season, we believe there will be suffl-
cient incentive to warrant purchases
on the minor recessions.

N. D. Crop Conditions.

The following crop report for the
state compiled by Secretary of Agri-
culture w. c. Gilbreath:
Reports from twenty-six counties
narrate an almost uniform story Of
vastly improved conditions over a
week ago and with a continuation Of
present favorable weather as regards
rain and temperature the backward
condition noted in our first report, as
compared with the situation a year
ago, will have entirely disappeared
In another week. In most parts of the
state a yield equal to that of 1909
is now expected and in d few instances
wheat is showing signs of heading out
with unusually short straw, but this
is not general, although abundant
moisture will be needed for the straw
to attain the same length as in 1909
Although definite figures are not OBJ
tainable, it is believed that the flax
acreage for 1910 will be approximately
twenty-five per cent more than in
1909, If conditions remain favorable for
the breaking of new sod. There are
indications that more careful tillage
Of the land has been practiced this
spring than in former years, although
ne seeding bed for fax has, in some
instances been imperfeCtly prepared
Wheat will show a substantial increase
over = year ago. A. ]. I.

FORT SMELLING MAN IN BULLET

SHOOT, TOO.

st. Paul. Mimi. June left can't
get satisfaction any other way will
buy the best rifle there is in st. Paul
and get up on the hills and try my
luck. The first nice fat major I see
will take crack at him" This is
the threat made by H. c. Peters. the
Fort Smelling farmer, who says that
flying bullets from the rife range make
1T impossible for him to work in his
fields.
A year ago, Peters says, he was I'm
able to harvest his crops, and applied
to Al Smith, the Hennepin county at
torney, for an injunction to stop the
target shooting until he could finish the
work on the field nearest the range.
| Smith, so Peters says, saw the com
mandant at the fort and returned with
the word that if he would let his crop
| go unharvested they would make it
right" But Peters says he has not re-
ceived anything for the crop he let go
to waste, and now if he can't get them
! to stop soon another crop will be
wasted
II have just bought supply of paris
green to poison the potato bugs. but IL
they don't stop shooting so / can get
on that field this week the bugs will
spoil the entire crop" he told Ralph
Wheelock, the governors secretary.
yesterday afternoon. Peters called to
see the governor, but found him out.
| Wheelock took him across the hall to
see the attorney general, but he also
was out. Then Peters said he would
come back this morning and see the
attorney general, and If he did not get
some satisfaction right away he would
take the law in his own hands.
II have one bullet hole in my house
that these fellows have put there and
the bullets are coming altogether too
close for comfort on the fields. When
the lieutenant colonel heard of my com
plant yesterday he went out there to
| investigate, but it was rot long before
i he hoisted a red flag as q signal to
have the shooting stopped until be
could get off the field"
Poor craftsmanship. according to Pc
| tiers. is the cause Of the bullets going
| wild. The Peters farm is towsrd one
| side Of the range and when he bullet
does not hit the target it is likely to hit
i boulder and glance off at an angle
! That sends them towards the Peters
farm and keeps the men and the cattle
jumping. Not long ago, said Peters
yesterday, he went out to his garden
/ just outside the house. when he heard
bullet whizz by. Instead of getting
4 the radishes he was after he went
/ around to the range to make an inves-
1 tigation.
II found that only about one bullet
out of five hit the target at ALL" he
said "And some of them had badges
showing that they were expert marks
men, too" he added with a sarcastic
/ grin.

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
Grain Letter.

Chicago, June 16.--Wheat: The
market opened firm and has ruled so
throughout the session. The hot dry
weather in the northwest was easily
the dominating factor of the days
news. The September future was the
strongest on the list and there was
evidence of more outside buying and
less of the purely local professional
character which has been dominant
for the past few weeks. Northwest
ern advices simply say weather is very
warm and moisture is needed; also
that there has been scattered buying
in these markets for country account.
Reports were current from Idaho and
Washington of crops suffering from
heat and drouth. Very little was heard
of the pressure of Texas and Okla
bona crops. The character Of the
Northwestern news today had in
check the raiding operations which
have been in evidence for some time
past Wheat is gaining friends and
buyers appear on weak spots and take
the offerings with much more contid-
ence. A 80 cent level seems to APP
peal to not a few people as, at least
some were near a readjustment basis,
especially considering the fact that one
wheat crop has yet to get much of its
growth and the other which is near
ing maturity has yet to be safely har-
vested. Chas. e. Lewis & Co.
