Moorhead Department
NOT QUITE BROTRERLY
A Brother Ineapacitated Allowed to
Become Dependent Charge
on City.

According to a statement made by
Mayor Davy today, the city of Moor
head has a relief case on it's hands.
From a standpoint of humanitarian,
there is nothing to do but take care
on the unfortunate, who has two broth
ers, both of whom are alleged to have
fair shares of this worlds wealth and
comfort. They, however, it is said, take
no notice of their kinsman, whose only
crime is to be physically incapable of
caring for himself.
According to the facts related by the
mayor, year or so ago Peter Peterson
of the town of Flowing was left in the
city in an incapable condition, suffer-
ing from chronic rheumatism. He was
cared for by the police, and after some
investigation by the late o. E. Malvey,
he was returned to the authorities of
Flowing, but soon returned to Moor
head where he was provided with room
and board.
The town of Flowing has declined to
honor the board bills and on June /.
after keeping Peterson a year. the sick
man was put out into the street The
police were advised and the poor fell
low was sent to the lookup, and after
being fed and cared for, was yesterday
taken by Chief Malvey to the town of
Flowing and delivered over to the
chairman of the town board of Flowing
as charge on that town. One of the
first men seen by the police this morn
ing was Peterson, who had been re-
turned to Moorhead and left on the
streets, only to again be taken charge
of by the police, in whose care he
now is.
The city has decided to care for the
man, will make the best arrangements
for his lodging and board until legal
responsibility Is established and then
suit will be instituted forthwith. The
woman who has been keeping Peterson
for over a year has given instructions
for suit against the town of Flowing
The mayor says indignation has been
aroused, as it is known that Peterson
has two brothers, one James Peterson
formerly in the dray business in Moor
head, now residing on his 240-acre farm
near Sabin, and is said to be worth
$4,000 overall indebtedness Another
brother August Peterson, is also said
to be in easy circumstances, but why
their disposition towards their unfor-
tunate brother cannot be explained
The mayor is now determined to delve
| into the matter, and If a statute is
needed to cover such cases, one will be
devised

Broomhall's Report.

Liverpool June 10.-Wheat: The
steadiness in America and the firm
ness in Winnipeg yesterday caused
a steady opening here with values un-
changed to "A higher, and following
the opening a further advance of u
with offerings lighter. Worlds ship
ments are expected to light this week
and Australia and India are holding
firmer. During the morning there was
some heavy realizing and values
brooks q to "a. Pressure resulted
from general quiet demand and very
poor spot, trade with larger cargo ar
rivals here which were offered at 14s
to Sd decline. Spot makets wee heavy
with Manitobas and La Plata grades
Il lower and receipts for three days
were liberal at 100000 bushels and
Argentine shipments for the week
were larged than expected. At mid
day the market was weak and "a to
81 lower than yesterday. Corn: The
market was quiet at the start and UNI
changed. Later there was a decline
with the undertone heavy due to the
weakness in spot which was 1 d lower
and a very poor inquiry for parcels.
Australian shipments for the week
amounted to $4,000 bushels against
$4,000 bushels last week and $4,000
bushels last year.

JIM BLUDSo.

Well, no, I can't tell whar he lives,
Because he don't live, you see;
Leastways, he's got out of the habit
OF livin' like you and me.
Whar have you been for the last three
years,
That you haven't heard folks tell
How Jimmy Bludso passed in his
checks
The night of the Prairie Belle?
He weren't no saint-them engineers
Is pretty much alike
One wife in Natchez- under the hill,
And another one here in Pike:
A keerless man in his talk was Jim,
And an awkward man in a row;
But he never flunked and he never
lied
/ reckon he never knowed how.
And this was all the religion he had
To treat his engine well,
Never to be passed on the river
To mind the pilots bell;
And If ever the Prairie Belle took
afire-
A thousand times he swore-
Heb hold her nozzle ag'in the bank
Till the last soul got ashore.
All boats has their days on the Mis-
sissippi,
And her day come at last;
The Movaster was a better boat
And the Belle she wouldn't be passed
And so she come tearin' along that
night
The Oldest craft on that line
With a niger squat on her safety
valve,
And her furnace crammed, rosin and
pine.
The bar bust out and she clared the
bar
And burnt hole in the night,
And quick as flash she turned and
made
For that willer bank on the right.
There wa srunnin' and cussin', but Jim
yelled out,
Over all the Internal roar,
"TIl hold her nozzle agin the bank
Till the last galoot's ashore"
Through the hot, black wreath of the
burnin' boat
Jim BluuSO VOICE was n6dTu,
And they all had trust in his cussed-
ness
And knew he would keep his word
And, sures you're born, they all got
off
Afore the smokestacks fell,
And Bludso's ghost went up alone
In the smoke of the Prairie Belle.
He weren't no saint-but at Judgment
I'd run my chance with Jim
Longside of some pious gentleman
That wouldn't shake hands with
him.
He seen his duty a dead sure thing,
And went for it thar and then;
And Crist amt a-goin' to be too hard
! On man that died for men.
John Hay.

For many years he labored to learn
the druggists trade.
And was at last rewarded for the eff
forts he had made
The sciences were mastered, and filled
him to the brim,
And evry art and artifice was easy
meat to him.
A lawful druggist now was he from
Aloes through to Zinc,
SO he framed his new diploma, and
settled down to think
How he should draw the public to pa
tronize his store.
A snowy soda fountain must be close
inside the door,
With sundry kegs of other stuff and
tonics could galore,
Ice cream and college ices, tobacco
and cigars,
With photographs of actresses and
comic-opera stars,
A nickel counter feature, and penny
candies plenty;
And (strictly for dispensing) some
Spirits Frumenti:
With postal cards and slot machines
of many different sorts,
And fancy hobby furnishings to meet
the needs of sports;
Some envelopes and postage stamps,
paints and brushes too
And fiddle-strings and guessing bouts,
cameras and glue,
waiting room and magazines, a pub
lie telephone,
And blanks for money orders, and the
latest books to loan,
Directory of the city, and tickets to
the show,
An agency for tailors and the Borax
Laundry Co.
That ought to draw them hither, but
1t isn't any more
Than what is always requisite to stock
a druggists store.
But, Great Unguentum Zinc! With
that diploma there
| suppose | ought to have some, the
back room / might spare.
| do just hate q side line, but" and
here his shoulder shrugs,
1t might be just as fell, perhaps, to
have line of drugs!"

a. m. At Hawley delegates will be

anticipated that there will be no troH

There is interest in the coming affair
at Hawley as first indications will be

Grain Opinions

Chicago, June 1O.-Bartlett, Patten
& Co.: We believe we have had our
in wheat and that values will work
higher. We do not care to sell the
oat market.
Logan G. Bryan: The trade appears
to consider the winter wheat portion
of the official report decidedly bullish
and of course it is known that the
spring wheat crop is yet to be made
and for this reason the selling side is
losing it's popularity. Protect profits
on long wheat on any further swell.
There is no use expecting anything
more than temporary dips in corn
prices until the weather and crop out
look are greatly improved.
S. B. Chaplin e. Co.: Wheat should
be a trading proposition for a time
with July a purchase on the dips
while on the strong spots would not
hesitate to sell September. Buy corn
on the soft spots.

Teller, jr., foreman of the special grand
jury appointed Jan. to investi-
gate the white slave traffic, walked in
to Judge O'Sullivan's court today at

District Attorney whitman started to
make a statement but the judge cut
him off ALSO
There have been no unusual revela-
tons by the grand jury in reference to
the alleged white slave traffic, to in
vestigate which it was impaneled. The
work of the jury has so far resulted
in the conviction of two persons in an
isolated case which, SO far as was
shown, had no connection with any or
ganized business of dealing in young

this cold weather ends" and / also
hear that "it must turn warm before
we get rain" so it may be we are
booked for cold, dry weather all sum-
mer. But up to the present time the
cool weather has been a godsend for
all grain crops, though of course more
moisture is badly needed. If it had
been hot and dry all the delicate green
shoots of the grain would have been
shriveled and dead before this. AS it
is, all grain has been making sturdy
roots.
