MAN Is ON TRIAL
Case Of state Of Illinois VS.. Ii. s.
Rand Heard Yesterday After
noon in Justice Court at
Galesburs.
EVIDENCE rs GIVEN
Interesting Story Regarding the Real
Estate Exchange and What Came
Of it-Defendant Held
Under Bond.

Yesterday afternoon in the court of
Justice ]. F. Hamilton of Galesburg,
III, the case Of the State VS.. H. S.
Rand, a former resident Of Keokuk,
IN an alleged land fraud case, was
brought up for trial. An attorney
was appointed to represent the ste e
and Mr.. Rand had for his attorney w.
B. Sheets of Quincy.
The state opened the case with the
testimony of C. B. Roy, real estate
dealer of Galesburg, who testified that
Tom Wilson OF Monmouth had listed
with him farm of 240 acres near New
Boston, ILL.,, for sale and on the flf-
teenth or sixteenth of April the de-
fendant, Mr.. Rand of Quincy entered
his office and asked him If he had any
thing in the real estate line for trade
and the farm of Mr.. Wilson was intro
duced as trading proposition and
just as the two men were talking the
deal over, Mr.. Wilson entered the Of
hce and after some conversation with
him Mr.. Rand proposed deal by
which the farm was to be traded for
something desirable in the real estate
line. Mr.. Rand then left town and a
few days later wired Mr.. Roy that he
had a deal on in Danyille, ILL.,, and in
response to his wire Mr. Roy went to
Danville, taking with him an open
deed for the Wilson farm and while
in Danville he consummated a deal
whereby the farm was traded for a
stock of goods in Bergen, Ind, and a
hotel building in Brockley, H., the
deed for the farm being delivered to
Mr.. Hill Of Marion, Ind, the owner of
the properties and receiving from him
a bill of sale for the stock of goods
and a deed for the hotel in Brockley
A week or two after the deal had
been contaminated Mr.. Roy went to
Bergen to take possession of the
stock of goods and was refused pos
session as a result of telegram
which had been received In that city
from Mr.. Hill, the former owner of
the stock of goods. Later Mr.. Rand
approached Mr.. Roy and asked that
the deed and bill of sale for the prop
erty be returned to him on the. con-
dition that he should see tosit that
the deed for the Mercer county farm
should be returned to Mr.. Roy and in
accordance with this request and con.
dition Mr.. Roy turned the deed and
bill of safe over to the defendant, but
failed to receive the deed for the farm.
The witness also testified that ac-
cording to the records of Mercer
county that the deed for the farm
showed that the farm had been deed
ed by Mr.. Hill to a Mr.. Gegg of
Danville.
Was Put Under Bond.
The state omered two more wit
nesses to prove the conspiracy of the
defendant, and their testimony was
largely the same as that of Mr. Roy,
and was all used in an effort to prove
the guilt of the defendant in conspir-
ing to defraud the complainant.
After hearing the evidence the JUS
tice held the defendant under $1,000 |
bail and bond has not yet been fur
nished.

HELEN BLAIR TO Be.

ALONG THE RIVE

The fine steamer Helen Blair, which
was wrecked few miles below Dav.
export few days ago, is to be raised
Thursday Of this week, and will be
placed on the ways at Rock Island
and there made as good as new. The
boat has been damaged but little,
barring the hole in her hull, which
can easily be repaired.
A telephone message from Captain
Walter Blair to Captain w. w. Kin
near last evening reported the fact
that the rock upon which the Blair
was wrecked was blasted out yester-
day by the government engineers. 1t
required two shots of fifty pounds OF
dynamite each to do the work. There
was eight feet of water all around the
rock or ledge, while thcre was but
thirty inches of water on top of the
rock, or perhaps it should be said that
the rock was thirty inches below the
surface. But for the unusually low
stage of water there could have been
no accident, and the presence of that
rock would never have been known
and there would never have been the
slightest difficulty. The fret that
there was eight feet of later all
around the rock proves that the Blair
was handled with the greatest care,
and that no chances were being taken.
II the presence of that rock had been
known it would have been Stunned by
the pilot. The low water brings to
knowledge many things about the bot
tom of the waterway which have been
hidden heretofore.
1t is reported that the federal
authorities propose to conduct an in
vestigation of the burning of the
steamer J. and that they will in
quire into the death of John Plain,
OF Lansing Iowa, who. 1t is alleged,
was locked up in the hold of the
boat, where he persisted. 1t is be-
lieved the matter will be presented
to the federal grand jury, vhich
meets at Dubuque in October.
Plain was employed on farm near
Lansing, and he was known as a hard
worker
No arrests will be made in the case
until the grand jury meets, when, If
indictments are returned, the officers
will take the accused into custody.
The same course will be taken as was
done following the burning of the
General Slocum in New York harbor.

| CHICAGO, July 19.--Wheat--We Wealth.
er conditions and crop advices are
more favorable, particularly from the
northwest. Foreign markets have
shown some strength based on scanty
offerings of new wheat Russian crop
reports are not altogether favorable.
A few favorable crop reports are COM
ing from spring wheat sections and
are beginning to attract some atten-
ton, the sensational damage reports
having lost force. Offerings of new
winter wheat are not heavy. but are
on the increase. Receipts at primary
points, particularly through the south
west, were nearly double the total OF
last year Hedging pressure is on the
increase and present prices discount
severe crop losses. We look for many
sharp rallies but believe the persistent
seller of December wheat will make
money.
Corn-Weather conditions are ex-
cellent and crop reports could hardly
be better. Corn has lost the support
of an advancing wheat market and
shows an easier tone. Receipts are
larger and will probably increase from
this time forward. Local professionals
are becoming very active on the bear
side. We can see nothing in the stu
alton to encourage purchases and be-
lieve the selling side of the deferred
futures will be profitable.
Oats-Light stocks and a small
movement have been the mainstay of
this market. Receipts are larger to.
day and an increasing tendency is
shown. Country offerings for August
shipments are increasing and hedging
pressure on December and September
is very noticeable. Crop reports are
mainly satisfactory. We feel that the
movement of the new crop is starting
on to a high plane and look for lower
prices.
Provisions-Volume of trade was
good. Considerable long stuff being
liquidated Pit and floor shorts were
best buyers. Market appears to be
well evened UP and has an appearance
OF weakness. Provisions are sale on
any rally. Packers have stuff for sale
on all hard spots. Cash demand is
dull.

Treatment Not Right.
During different speeches of the
morning It was brought out that the
united association had not been ac-
corded right treatment by the Chicago
newspapers during the United States
I-ano and Irrigation exposition. This
was accounted for by the fact that the
Chicago Tribune was backing the ex-
position, and this caused the other

shortly after noon the convention
took a recess and enjoyed a luncheon
with President JOY H. Johnson of the
Commercial club. AT $3.50 o'clock the
session was resumed and a compre-
hensive speech was made by G. A.
Walsh of Chicago. He went over the
history OF the United States Land and
Irrigation exposition, which had caused
the western farmers to think they were
not getting what they started for in
at the xposftfon-namely,
publicity.
he stated that he had started west
in 190S to get In tonch with western
commercial organizations for the pur-
pose. of organizing a body such as the
present National Farm and Irrigation
congress, and that IL was not known
at that time that the Chicago Tribune
contemplated such move.
Mr.. Walsh presented two plans, which
had been adopted by the congress to Sc
cure the maximum OF publicity from the
minimum Of effort and expense; first, an
educational congress, without exposition
features. which could be conducted with
no expense save the rent of an auditorium.
the entertainment features and the in
cidental expenses OF the organization;
second, the same as the first, with an
added feature IN the form OF special
exhibition feature, stocked by states and
territories-the actual produce to be ex-
