Declared Not Insane.

The mental condition of Charles
Williamson, who has been acting
queerly of late and thought to be de-
mented, was examined yesterday by
Judge Sharp and two of the county
insanity commissioners. Williamson
answered all of the questions asked
of him by the examiners in perfectly
intelligent manner and the decision was
that he was not a subject for COM
initial to the asylum at Fergus Falls
The mans peculiar ways are attrib.
uted to worrying over an accident
which befell him at Dilworth, about
year ago, and which resulted in his
being subjected to the amputation Of
one arm at the shoulder. The North
ern Pacific made tender of several
hundred dollars in settlement of q
claim for damages, but he refused and
the case was called for trial in the
federal district court at Fergus Ills
last week, but on the ruling of the
court a new complaint will have to be
made Senator Peterson represents
Williamson in his fight for damages.

Report Big Surprise.

Chicago, May 10-Wheat traders
were given surprise by the govern
ment report figures yesterday. Sell
dom has the belief in a buIlish report
been as unanimous before it's official
issue as yesterday. Trade was gen.
orally prepared for an advancing mar
ket following the announcement of the
figures and members were made to
suffer sharp losses. 1t was the general
impression in the wheat pit at the
close that great deal of long Sept
wheat had been sold out by Bartlett
Patten & Co. during the day as we'll as
on Saturday and at the close Friday
There was no idea that the big holding
had been impaired, but it was thought
enough had been sold out to give the

Grain Opinions.

Bartlett & Patten Co.-WhiIe the eff
feet of figures as regards PERCENTAGES
may be bearishly construed. the per-
centage of acreage abandoned cannot
be viewed in that light and we believe
this abandonment has been largely in
creased since Mondays figures were
compiled we still believe in September
wheat.
Finley, Barrel & Cove advise pro-
nit taking, crop developments will prove
the overshadowing feature for the time
being. Would advise awaiting breaks
before making purchases of product as
Influential interests appear to be
against the provision market.
Shearson, HammilI & Co.-Wheat
crop uncertainties and speculative on
erations may temporarily overshadow
the selling necessities of the future but
all present indications point to an uIti-
mate export level and 1t will be wen
to keep that fact in mind.
5. B. Chaplin & Co.-With good
growing weather from now we expect
to see much lower wheat prices event
ually subject to scalping rallies. Look
for continued scalping market in corn

peared before the city council last

should not be revoked, after arrest
and conviction for violation Of the

defendant was represented by Attor-
ney Russell and the city attorney pre-
scented the case for the city. Witness
es were heard and after arguments by
attorneys the council resolved itself
into executive session and at its con-
clusion, motion to revoke was made
and on roll call 1t was unanimously
adopted. 1t is not at all likely that
a license will be issued for the Diemert
premises again as 1t is now the policy
of the council to reduce the number Of

Causes 95 per cent Of Diseases.
Advice COaCerIIng Stomach Trouble
and How to Remedy Them.

DO not neglect indigestion which
leads to all sorts of ills and com.
piIcatlOns. An eminent doctor once
said that ninety-fve per cent of all
the ills of the human body have their
origin in a disordered stomach.
A physician who made a specially
ot stomach troubles, particularly
dyspepsia, after years of study per.
fected the formula from which Rexail
Dyspepsia Tablets are made.
Our experience with Rexall Dr.
Spepsia Tablets leads US to believe
them to be the greatest remedy
known for the relief Of acute indi
gestion and chronic dyspepsia. Their
ingredients are soothing and healing
to the inhamed membranes of the
stomach. They are rich il pepiin,
one of the greatest digestive aids
known 10 medicine. The relief they
afford is almost immediate. Their
use with persistency and regularity
tor a short time brings about a cessa.
ton of the pains caused by stomach
disorders.
RexaIl Dyspepsia Tablets will in-
sure healthy appetite, aid digestion
aud promote nutrition. As evidence
of our sincere faith in Rexall Dy-
spepsia Tablets, we ask you to try
them at our risk. If they do not give
you entire satisfaction, we will return
you the money you paid US for them,
without question or formality. They
come in three sizes, prices rs cents,
so cents and $1.0O. Remember
you can obtain them only at our
Store-The Rexall Store. The

Offices, and salaries we're again raised
totaling an additional expense Of
l$7,SO7, 1880.
In the last eight years 100000
of increase in expenses was due 10
the addition of 99,225 federal Office
holdersl The present standing army
of the United States numbers only
IS. 900 men. The increase 10 Office
holders partly explains why the capita
expense is more than $l2 annually
instead of So, as in 1900.
The growing trend of our govern
ment toward militarism is also fac
tor in increased expenditures. Just a
few years ago the annual appropria-
ton for the navy was less than S25-
100000; last year it had grown to
the enormous sum Of SlS6,995l99.
In 1891 we appropriated for the
maintenance Of the army $24,2O6,.
40; last year the amount was SlVl,.
1871, 47O. The worst Of it is the
army and navy appropriations are
not parcelled out to the sections
where most needed, from an impartial
military standpoint.
Millions 60 to navy yards that
frst.class battleShips can not enter,
such as Senator Perkins Mare,
Island navy yard and Senator Hale'S
Portsmouth navy yard. No first class
ba,tleship had ever been able to
reach Mare Island, and experts say
that in time of war it will be useless,
owing TO the shallow approaches.
But Perkins is an ally Of Aldrich, and
he declares he will have more millions
spent on Mare Island each year.
The Portsmouth navy yard, although
in New Hampshire, is on the Maine
line. Hale has filled the yard with
his constituents. Portsmouth is also
a bad harbor for big, modern ships,
but Hale met that problem by re-
sisting the building Of battesbipS big
ger than 10000 tons displacement.
Thus we held back naval progress
for years.
