Evcnlng Grain Letter.

Chicago, Oct. 2,-Wheat: Foreign
news has helped to lift prices for
wheat to a slightly higher level, but
some of the domestic developments
have also been influential in causing
buying. The war scare abroad ave
prices their early advance which was
met by quite free profit taking. A re-
port by Snow estimating total crop at
742, 600, 600 bushels caused a little sell
ing also. Cash demand a little better
with sales moderate. Reported boats
loading Chicago with 500, 900 bushels
No. 2 hard wheat for export clearing
today and tomorrow. The feeling is
favorable to buying the wheat on the
weak places. while the foreign compli-
cations are on. The southwestern re-
ceipts promise to let up and the north
west to increase.
Corn-DulI and featureless market.
Strength in wheat a bull influence
early. Offerings fair on the swells
and outside buying demand light. More
reports of damage is result of frOsts
coming in. Cash prices firm and about
l cent higher with fair demand and
sales of 355, 1000 bushels. Political con-
ditiOns factor abroad.
Oats-Firm in tone but not much
feature to trade. Some changing and
spreading with big cash house buying
May and selling December. Northwest
credited with hedging oats here.

ment, but he did not.
His next move was the proposal OF
marriage to a widow lady of the city.
The priest of st. Patrick's church was
asked to perform the ceremony but he
declined on the grounds that he did not
know enough of Mr.. Bandet's past
history. A local magistrate was found
who was willing to perform the eere-
mony and subsequently a priest from
Minnesota solemnized the marriage.
J. Bandet persuaded his new wife to
make a loan on her home n things
went along like a marriage bell for a
short time. A trip to the twin cities
was taken. The wife, on the return,
stopped at Mandan to visit a little, Mr..
Bandet telling her that. he was going
on to R~ichardton to look after work.
He made a stop at Richardton-to
the financial distress of a party there
1t is said-but he did not get back TO
Dickinson as nyone knows.
j. Bandet was next in the twin cities,
resulting in a bunch of $500 to $500
worth of protested checks. Early his
week a st. Paul man appeared with a
protested check of $500. He claimed
that Bandet had taken out a large part
of what the check represented in wine
and liquors but that a part of the
goods were recovered.
J. Bandet has probably left the
sanity city ere. this, and the question
is, where has he gone? If he should
return to this city and start in to cor
rect the wrong that he a committed,
1t would take him a long time to live
down the affair.

Big SUIT IS STARTED
Attorney DosIand Prepares Papers in
Suit for Damages Against Wild
Rice Lumber Co. at Ada.

Attorney Dosland prepared papers
today as counsel for John L. Melberg,
a farmer near Ada, who brings suit
against the Wild Rice Lumber Co. for
damages for personal injuries sus-
tanned on the highway last June, and
sues for $6,125.
The complaint alleges that the
plaintiff was driving along the high
way near Ada when he met a team
and wagon which was being driven
by a young man alleged to be an m
ploye of the defendant company. One
of the company's horses is said to have
baked very badly and was so Sc
verely whipped by the employe in
charge hat both animals became un-
manageable and collided with the team
and vehicle driven by the plaintiff.
The latter alleges in his complaint that
one of the defendants horses jumped
into his wagon, that he sustained in
juries to the face and several broken
ribs, and he adds that he has been
on the sick list ever since. Mr.. Mel
berg charges that the injuries he sus-
tanned were the result of the incompe-
tence Of the driver, who should not
have been placed in charge of a horse
reputed. to be a chronic baker.

WHERE IS BANDET
Of DICKINSON?

Dickinson, N. D., Oct. 2.--Where
is j. Bandet? This is the question
many people are asking these days
around Dickinson, and there are some
who predict that the French painter
will not return to the city he left some
weeks ago.
j. Bandet has had a peculiar career
IN Stark county. He came here in the
spring and told some people that he
was from Seattle, where he claimed to
own a good deal of property. He
started painting, taking some jobs at
a figure but little above cost of mater
ial. He was a rapid workman and APP
parently a good zone and readily pick
ed up jobs for himself and several
helpers.
1t was not long before J. Bandet. was
telling about a big fortune that was
about to come to him from France. He
showed papers which looked like Of
fetal documents. About this time the
boss painter commenced to run around
the country, looking at land and tell
ing of large purchases he desired to
make. His arrest on a criminal charge OF
fraud in connection with proposed
land deals was the next move and he
was lodged in jail. This created a
commotion and some thought it spite
work or an effort to get the painters
money, etc. When business men were
asked to bail the man out they shook
their heads, saying that they did not
know anything about the mans past
history and fearing that there might
be something wrong declined to sign
a bono for his release. However, ].
Bandet assigned work accounts and
was 90 released from custody. He de-
clared he was SO years of age and had
never been so badly treated and
should prosecute for false imprison-

college for the purpose of discovering
ways and mean Of increasing the
yield per acre of potatoes. A full re-

IN THE p U MARKET.
Cuttings From The Packer on General
Conditions,

The Kansas City correspondent of
The ack in the current issue says
that a car shortage is holding back
shipments from the northern fields
and wet weather has had something
to do with the condition of affairs in
that market. Owing to the abundant
crop in the north and west dealers are
Of the opinion that with favorable
weather at the loading stations and
plenty of cars the receipts here will be
liberal. The present prices are So to
81 cents a bushel in CARROTS sacked for
northern Ohios and Sc to 20 cents a
uShel for western. Homegrown stock
is steady at So to 20 cents a bushel
for Ohios. 49,.
In the New York market Maine po-
tatoes are showing up very nicely.
though they are a little tender, yet the
trade seems to be pretty we'll satisfied
with them. Up in Maine the shippers
are paying 80 cents to 81 per 1876
pound measure and are selling the
stock delivered here at 81 to SO cents
per bushel. In the yards this week
the stock was selling at $3.50 to$1.90
per 1870 pounds bulk. These prices are
somewhat below the asking prices at
present because of the fact that the
supplies here this week have been
bought on a lower market. Names
are now taking the place of Jerseys.
The market at st. Louis is reported
frmer. Sixty sacks of Minnesota
Early Ohios early in the week brought
| 60 cents delivered, a load of bulk Bur-
banks so cents. 100 sacks Wisconsin
whites 81 cents, 70 sacks Minnesota
Early Ohios IS cents and two cars
sacked Michigan Rurals 10 cents.
The correspondent at Chicago says
the shortage of cars is becoming an
important factor in the potato deal
this year. Already operators are feel
ing the lack of sufficient cars, and the
season has practically just begun.
They declare it is impossible to tell
when the railroads will place cars, and
consequently they are at loss what to
do with orders which specify immedi-
ate shipment.
IT a shortage is evident now said
a prominent operator this week,
what will it be later on One OF
the biggest potato crops in the past
few years is in sight this season, and
1t looks as though we won't be able to
get cars enough for love or money
Apparently the situation this year is
going to revolve around the matter OF
cars, and you'll find 1t will have a big
bearing on the trend of the market"
Burbanks and whites were the prin-
cipal offerings. Ohios formed a light
err portion of the receipts. Most ar
rivals were in good condition, although
there was a noticeable amount OF
green stock. Burbanks improved con-
siderably but the larger part Of them
vas not fine.

GRIP CONTENTS T
Grip Alleged to Have Been Stolen Was
Found This Mornino.

The grip reported to the police of
both cities as alleged to have been
stolen from E. G. Sprague of the
Sprague Land Co, last Saturday night,
was found this morning by Mr.. Wilk
of the Empire Bottling works, in the
lot at the back of his establishment
and he Immediately transferred the
find to the custody of Chief of Police
O'Laughlin and the latter identified it
as the grip reported to have been
stolen from Mr.. Sprague.
Mr.. Sprague says the thief made a
thorough examination of the papers
and other contents of the valise. but
seeing nothing of value to him he
must have thrown it away. Mr..
Sprague appreciates the work done by
the Moorhead and Fargo police in the
effort to try and recover the stolen
property and the watching of the
bridges last Saturday night. The theft
was made from g buggy which was
standing opposite the office of the
owner of the property. .

loss is up about Grand Forks and in
the northern part of the state. Still, I
must say with all the stories that have
been told of the bad crops over the
state, Il was considerably surprised to
find the loss not to be nearly SO big as

Speculative Gossip,

Chicago, Oct. BEARS in wheat re-
garded the war news from abroad as
only a temporary bullish influence and
upturn, as war scare bulges in the past
have nearly always been temporary. 1t
was claimed that the 1905 900 bushels
December wheat sold yesterday by
Bartlett Frazier Co, Darrell and Logan
and Bryan were largely for Lichstern.
One of the professionals who bought
wheat early in the day said that senti-
ment among a number of good traders
was more friendly to the buying side,
because of the belief that, despite the
big receipts, the small accommodations
indicated that bearish conditions had
been discounted in present prices.
