Assessors After Liquors.

The state tax commission has asked
Attorney General Smith to pass on the
question whether whisky and other
spirits carried in bond in other states
by persons residing in Minnesota are
taxable. The opinion, if given in the
affirmative, means the addition of
many thousands of dollars to the tax
able valuation of the state.
The opinion asked for by the tax
commission has to do with wholesale
liquor dealers and saloonkeepers who
make a specially of whisky and other
spirits and keep the same in bond until
needed.
Many ~saloonkeepers buy whisky I'M
der these conditions and the tax, If
held valid, will mean a considerable
addition to the revenues of the state.
Practically every wholesale dealer in
liquor buys whisky in bond and the
tax will also apply in that case, if held
valid by the attorney general.

Chicago, July 11.-EXport sales Of
100000 bushels wheat We're claimed
by the sea-board yesterday. This in
cluded all positions, purchases from
Chicago and the southwest and $780,
600 bushels spring wheat at Duluth
and 100000 bushels from Ohio and
Indiana. Wheat traders regarded the
rally after yesterdays break as only
natural following = four day decline.
Bears are looking for lower prices
with a continuation of the liberal
hedging sales. Bears say that should
export business suddenly shut off and
the country continue to sell new wheat
freely there Is no telling how low
prices will go. Corn traders were mix
ed in their views last night, most of
them being bearish. It was said many
OF the longs have unloaded. The bulls
figure that the market is heavily over
sold and had report from Kansas that
the crop there has been damaged by
the recent high temperatures. Cash
sales were $1,000 bushels wheat: $50
600 bushels corn; and 345,O0O bushels
oats.

PHOTOGRAPHS Of
INDIAN CHIEFS

Bismarck, N. D., July lid. F.
Barry, the pioneer photographer of
Bismarck, who is now located in
Superior, writes Mrs. Jewell that he
has just sent her three more pictures
for the Jewell art gallery. The pic
lures he is sending are those of noted
Indians during pioneer days, includ-
ing one of Chief Goose, Chief Low
Dog, Buffalo Rice and also one of Sit
ting Bul
During the course of his letter Mr..
Barry says he often meets people
from Bismarck and they all have
tai city. Barry says that the North
ern Pacific depot and e. Patterson's
Mckenzie hotel seem to be the chief
points of interest that catch the trav-
eler's eye as they pass through Bis
marck, and they all tell Barry that
those two magnificent buildings make
a fine showing from the trains.
Mr.. Barry was greatly pleased to
know that his name stu clings TO
the old Dakota block, and he seems
confident the old pioneers of Bis
marck cannot forget him as long as
his name remains there. Right here
The Tribune, tips it to Barry that no
one in Bismarck wants to forget him.
AS a matter of fact no one here wants
to forget any of the old pioneers who
blazed the trail here in early days as
did Mr.. Barry, and they wish he could
come here to see the great changes
and progress Bismarck has made
since he left.
Mr.. Barry never loses interest in
Bismarck and judging from the let
tiers he frequently writes Mrs. Jewell
and also The Tribune, it is evident
that he keeps closely posted as to
Bismarck affairs a&lrough the newspa-
pers and through the people he meets
from here.

LETTER WAS
RECEIVED
- a +

Casselton;I N. D., July 11.-A letter
received in Casselton bearing on the
mysterious death of, Carleton Gilbert
in the early part of April.
1t will be remembered that ever
since the body Of Carleton Gilbert vas
found In Swan creek there has never
been any way to account for his death
las it was proved by autopsy that he
was dead when put in the water,
while examination of the stomach
showed that no poison had been taken.
AS there were no outward marks of
violence the cause of death has re-
manned wrapped in mystery to this
day.
The letter that came to Casse1ton
is unsigned-naturally-but purports
to tell Of the events of the night on
which MI. Gilbert disappeared. 1t
says that three men, stopping in the
open Jail building, were about 2 a. m.
attempting an entrance into a rear
window of the hotel when Gilbert
came around the corner and asked
what they were doing. Instantly one
of them seized him and clasped a hand
owe his mouth, while another hit him
across the neck with a sand bag, fell
ing him. Becoming alarmed they went
away but soon returned to see how the
stricken man was-and found that he
was dead.
They then carried the body, to the
creek and threw it in, having rifed the
pockets. On arrival near the jail they
found nothing of Importance in what
they had secured - and threw the
books, watch. eyeglasses, ETC., into the
ditch. There are other things in the
letter, but are Of no use in this
article except as to one thing-and
that n thing pertains to an article
that nobody knew of, but has been
found exactly where the writer said it
had been thrown. That article is the
sand bag with which Gilbert was
struck-according to the writer.
The letter says that a piece of hose
was secured at the building under
construction, filled with sand. one end
closed up, and to the other was at
tached a wooden handle. That was
evidently intended to be ready in case
anybody was met after entrance to
the hotel had been accomplished, but
was used on Gilbert.
The letter said it would be found in
the creek. Examination in the pres
ent low stage of water in the rear Of
the hotel disclosed it to the searching
off1cer-half Embedded in the bottom.
AS it was covered with slime and
the wooden handle was w~atersoaked
the frightful instrument had evidently
lain in it's place for a long time-pos-
sibly since the date on which the let
ter states. Parties who know say the
hose Is of the kind that was in use on
the new bank building.
An anonymous letter is not very
good authority at n time-it isn't
now-but when instruments are found
as indicated, lying for a long time hid,
and the methods described are such as
to open up a line of events that ex-
plain a heretofore mystery, it would
seem as If the alleged circumstances
were worthy of being investigated as
far as is possible.

Stock Market.

New York, July 1.-THE Examiner
says: THE stock market, such as it
was, took the more colorful view Of
the crop prospects than the board Of
trade. Advances were general and in
their maximum, at the high point Of
the day reached 2% points. The rec
ord was attained by Canadian Pacific.
Canadian, aided by a stimulus from
the English, recovered from the ad-
monitions of MI. Hill. In the sober
second thought they concluded that
the builders of the Great Northern had
become so periodically American that
his perspective Of Canadian affairs
was defective. In fact, all who have
to do with finance as distinguished
from grain matters interpreted the
days doings favorably. Mild optimism
was in the air and it ~extenuated what
at other times has provoked some
concern. Finley Darrell & Co.
