complete failure Of the scheme which
had been Matched against the repub-
licans. Had the democrats been able
to stop the examination before the
dirt began to fly in their direction
some political capital might have
been obtained. But Mulhall is a
fountain of filth that refused to be
plugged. So fond Is he of the spot
light that he is going to keep on talk
ing as long IS he con hold public at.
tention.
Why do not Senator Reed and his
democratic associates do the decent
thing and rule out this malOdorous
testimony as unfair and untrust-
worthy? What good can come OF
continuing to take the testimony OF
a man whom nobody believes under
oath? The farce is costing the Deo.
pie more than it would be worth even
If Mulhall were honest and truthful.
Mr.. Underwood was quite right when
he arraigned his associates for allow.
ing such a creature to attack public
men in the dignitied settings of the
national capitol.

Seldom has the Bismarck Tribune
printing office eve turned out a spec
linen of the art p%reservative that has
attracted such a widespread atten.
ton, and brought forth as many IA
vorable comments, as has Pr. Beede's
book, entitled, Sitting ,BBHll and Gen
eral CUSTER and the Tribune for
over forty years has been producing
q high grade of printing that has
never been excelled nor even eQualed
in the northwest.
There has been a national demand
for this latest literary effort Of Dr.
Beede. which was published by the
Tribune, and it almost seems now
that a second edition will be neces'
sary to supply the demand of the
reading public approaching such q
work of art.
In this book the author has dealt
with pioneer history OF North Da.
kota. tells s.. Of thrilling events during
the days " MdiaH warfare, and the
artistic manner in which the book
was printed makes it a gem that Is
being purchased rapidly.
For almost every state in the union
has the publishers received letters
from prominent people, who have ex'
pressed surprise that such a work OF
art was possible. ,

1t Is not a ease of Dragging when
the Tribune states thai its subscrlD.
ton list has more than doubled in
the past 8 months. There are names
on the subscription list. md the fig.
ltres of the counting machine on the
T%ribune's big perfecting press every
morning prove that it will require but
the addition of a few hundred more
names to have the Tribune's list Of
bona fide readers go over the 5000
and with the beginning Of the
new year, if the present pace keeps
up, the mark will be close to 10000
if not more. Publishing a paper that
has for its object that of disseminate
ing the news of the day from over
the world in general. and North Da-
kota in particular, has. created a de-
mand for the Tribune that was the
great hope Of the founder of this daily
from its early beginning, and it. Is
qualification, indeed, to the present
management to know that this hope
is being realized.

GoRlNG The OTHER OK.

Kansas City Journal: The Mulhall
Investigation" has degenerated into
a driveling fasco, in which no hu.
man agency can sift the wheat, il
there Is any, from the chaff, Of which
thereis adgTeat deal. The confessed.
or protested, venal lobbyist has dis.
gusted the nation and it is now eti.
dent that absolutely nothing will be-
gained by further exploiting this thor.
oughly d%isrepuatble man. At the be.
ginning the democrats evidently i'm.
ag1ned they had made a great find"
in Mulhall. 1t seemed possible to get
this eager witness to besmirch a host
Of republicans with his s%landerous
tongue and letters. AS long as Mul.
hall was testifying against republi-
cans, Senator Reed and his associ-
ates were keen for the game. But
the tables are turned. The inforner
has trained his mud guns upon demo
Gratis, and the great problem now
confronting the majority leaders is
how to let go. The hero of the his
toric incident where the man was
holding the bear by the tail had a
sinecure compared with the demo
Gratis who are responsible for the
Mulhall investigation.
When the spectacular calumniator
got through with the republicans and
began to spew his venom over the
democrats the whole force of the
Mulhall exposures" was lost, so far
as they might be used politically. No
sooner had the witness besmirched
the name of Oscar w. Underwood,
democratic floor leader Of the house,
than that outraged gentleman became
furiously angry. He appeared at the
Investigation and denounced Mulhall
as q liar and blackmailer. He denied
all that the lobbyist had said and de.
clared: Il tell you it is not right
to let q man like this attack public
men. particularly when he is black
mailing the me for whom he work

Republicans naturally : amused
,at the turn these exposures" have
taken, for It obviously means the

TRADE REPORT
Agricultural Conditions
INDUCE Merchants to 'Pur-
chase More Freely.

WORCESTERSHIRE week of al
most ideal weather conditions has
placed the Spring Wheat crop almost
beyohd the dangeta Tine. Cutting is
beginning in the southern counties
and will rapidly progress during the
next two weeks. General indications
point toward a large harvest in Min
nesota and Montana, with slightly
below the average for North Dakota
and South Dakota. General mer-
chandise conditions are strong and
favorable, with a good undertone that
is making for large trade this fall
as soon as the harvest. results are
definitely known. Collections con.
tinue fair, with a good demands from
borrowers at the banks. Loaning
rates are firm at 6 ,pert cent.
ST. Paul.-Business is steady in
volume, both in %cattrrreenntt' ialHfa ins adj
vanced orders and practically alE job
bers and manufacturers report in
creased sales as compared With a
year ago. Encouraging crop reports
stimulate confidence and an active
fall trade is looked forward to. Heavy
shipping is being made on advanced
orders in dry goods. clothing and
other wearing apparel and current
business Is seasonable. Inquiry for
drugs, chemicals and oil has been
steady and sales are fully as good
as a year ago at this period. A good
demand continues for hardware, har-
ness. building material and ma
chinery. with sales better than in
1912. Collections are fair.
Kansas City.-More activity has
been displayed during the past week
in general merchandise than for some.
time. Collections are fair. Two gen
eral rains have fallen V the
greater half OF Kansas and western
Missouri within the past ten days
and there is considerable improve
ment in crop conditions. There will
be fair yield of corn in southern Mis-.
rouri, while in the northern half in
d1cations are for a heavy crop. In
southern Kansas, however, there will
be little corn, as hot winds and dry
weather came at a crucial time and
1t is not believed that subsequent
rains can be of much benefit. Kan.
sas City flour mills report prices
steady and current business fair, but.
little booking being done for the fu-
ture. The output of the Kansas City
mills continues to show STEADY i'm
provement, production for the week
being 46,SOO barrels against 1880
barrels the preceding week and 1850
barrels the corresponding week a
year og /. Export business continues
fair, sales running we'll ahead Of last
years. There ha sheen an increase
IN M demand for blows. while bug
slesS n other vehicles, which have
been selling well all season, still form
one of the bost active features. The
local livestock market reports the
supply OF killing cattle somewhat too
heavy and prices are irregular. Hogs
were In rather liberal supply at ali
centers and trade at most points was
slow, with values unsettled.
