Grain Opinions.

Bartlett. Frazier Co: We feel inclin-
ed to look for a spot on which to puy
wheat, giving preference to the May
future as the nearby months are apt to
sell at still wider discounts while stocks
are accommodating.
Finley, Darrell g. Co.: A further set
back in values will doubtless be ex-
perienced today, but we advise caution
in following the decline as the foreign
situation Is growing healthier and our
private advices indicate that farmers
are not disposed to part with their
holdings below present basis.
Logan & Ryan: Regardless OF all
else corn is sure to be regulated by the
weather reports from day to day
through August as the crop is not In
a position to stand any unusual heat or
drouth.
Shearson- Hammin Co: Prices are
considerably higher than a year ago
and our feeling is that we would not
get very gay at buying corn at much
OF an advance on the government re-
port
Clement Curtis Co.: With the indi-
cations of an 80,O00,0Gn busheI loss In
wheat 1t looks to us as though wheat
were a purchase on any break arising
from the report. The government re-
port on corn anticipated the heavy
damage west of the Missouri river and
no Improvement can be expected in
that quarter which gives corn great
strength and the buying side Is still
q safe one.

CHICKEN Thieves
STAY RICH man
THEORY is DEVELOPED IN MUIR.
DER OF WILLIAM L. RICE
AT CLEVELAND.

Cleveland, o., Aug. 9.-The authori-
ties are working to solve the mystery
of the death of William L. Rice. mil
lionaire attorney, who was shot down
near his home in Euclid Heights, on
the theory that he was killed by chick
en- thieves. They regarded the bag of
stolen chickens found yesterday sixty
feet away from the scene of the muir
der as an important clew.
Detective Coran, who now has charge
of the case, believes that chicken
thieves committed the murder. He
argues that Rice met the thieves re-
turning booty laden from the hen
house OF w. d. Palmer, his next door
neighbor. and attempting to arrest
them, was killed. The robbers, 1t is
believed, then fled, discarding the bag
of chickens
The police today interviewed the
crews of all street cars operated on
the Euclid Heights line in hope of
gaining more light on the crime

TO Be COOLER WEATHER
for Tonight and Tomorrow and
Talks of Past Conditions.

Slightly cooler weather, but fair is
promised for tonight and tomorrow
for this locality by Observer Grasse
of the Moorhead weather bureau. The
light showers which fell in Fargo and
vicinity greatly cooled the air and
made life pleasant for everybody. Mr..
Grasse thus sums up the weather for
the past twenty-four hours: 49,
Light showers have fallen over the
Red river valley, South Daokta, Min
nesota, Wisconsin, lake regions, lower
Rocky Mountain slope and Atlantic
coast, generally fair weather else

1.96 inches. The high pressure area
is avancing slowly eastward attended
by fair weather, and covers the mid

.TUMA'S DEATH IS
Still A MYSTERY

Dickinson, N. D., Aug. 9.-The cor
oner's jury in the case OF Albert Tuna,
the timer whose body was found
floating in the N. p. dixie, had the stom-
ach of the dead man sent to chemists
at the University of North Dakota
for analysis and this week received a
report of the work. The chemists
state that no poison or other chemical
was found in the stomach which would
have caused Tuma's death.
This case is one OF the most n1ys-
terious in the history of the country.
There was no scratch or abrasion
upon the body and the physicians
found no water in the lungs. the
stomach has revealed nothing and the
jurymen are at complete loss as to
what cause to ascribe the mans death.
Those who were with Tuna when he
went to the dixie have gone through a
dozen sweatings by local officials and
a Pinkerton detective and while the
stories do not coincide in every parti-
cular there is no ground for a murder
charge.

Sues for Return Of License Money.


G. J. Bender, one of the ex-saloon-
keepers at Fergus Falls, has sued the
city for the return of the unearned
part OF the license fee which he had
paid prior to the voters of the city
voting out saloons. He claims $516,
The city has paid back about half OF
the license money and now there Is
no fund from which any more can be
paid. II the plaintiff secures Judg-
ment a special tax to pay the judg-
ment may have to be levied. g..
The suit will determine one import
ant point which other municipalities
would like to have light shed upon.
1t Is whether the city is liable for the
10 per cent of the license money that
has gone to the county and the per
cent that has gone to the state. Mr..
Bender takes the ground that the city
is liable and that 1t should pay 1t and
look to the state and county for re-
endorsement. 1t is stated that an
attorney, who has looked into the
matter, says there is no authority
whatever, to make county or state Of
ticials to pay back the money paid
over to them by cities. in accordance
with the laws demands and 4treasur,

not more than half of the twine

that. 1t is also stated that the
wheat this year has been handled
with much less labor, especially
at the threshing machine; in fact,
some threshers say that the work
was never so easily done.

GETTING Nearer.

Fergus Falls Journal (Monday):
The railway surveyors, who were re.
ported to be near Dalton and heading
for this city ten days ago, seemed to
drop completely out of sight for sew

at work, and have pushed their
lines a few miles farther. Saturday

camped there, and are heading this
way, incidentally endeavoring to lay
out the route that will mean the low

Water Trouble at Fergus Falls.

According to The Journal, the state
insane hospital has discontinued the
use of city water for drinking purposes.
The hospital has been having quite an
epidemic at dysentery, and 1t is at
tributed to the use of the water 1t Is
practically impossible to boil and cool
water for all of the 1000 patients, and
everyone win admit that 1t is unsafe
to use 1T without boiling in view of the
present low stage of water in the river.
The hospital still uses city water for
the laundry and boilers, but will here
after secure water for drinking pur-
poses from the deep wells that were
sunk a few years ago.
