The Ornhaunn.

Schoen's Merry Makers head the bill
at the Orpheum with a school act brim
full of good old-fashioned slap stick
comedy, witty dialogue, singing and
dancing which kept the audience laugh
ing every minute at the antics of the
little Jewish boy, the Sis Hopkins girl,
the Mama's boy, the Tom-boy girl,
and the German professor, which part
Is played by William Schoen himself.
Schoen is well known as a German
character comedian and is to star in
the musical comedy success ''The
Princess this fall.
The Mabelle Fonda trio are billed as
wizards of motion and club Juggling
and they live up to their title doing
some marvellous stunts with the Indian
clubs, also dancing and juggling at the
same time.
Prince Ludwig is probably the small
est miniature musical cartoonist on tho
stage and has appeader before many of
the crowned heads of Europe as well
as several former presidents of the
United States. He is now on his way
around the world and in his announce
nent before his act he informs the
young ladies of Fargo that he Is only
% and unmarried.
The Blanch Williams trio is COM
posed of two clever young women and
a male dancer. One of the young wom-
en- plays the piano, while the other
plays the violin. The act is a very en-
tertaining one.
The splendid reels Of moving pic
lures are shown.

he f1eatres


Some of the three-round boxers of
this city who are looking FOR good
workouts could do no better than to
visit the Orpheum theatre Thursday
night of this week, and have a spar
with Battling Bob Fitzsimmons," the
big seven foot champion boxing
kangaroo. This is the greatest box
ing kangaroo in captivity and is al
most as clever with the gloves as a
great many champions in the game.
In fact, Battling Bob,'' has met
champions in his time. While the
kangaroo was in Los Angeles, Ad.
Wolgast, former lightweight champion
of the world, heard of his prowess and
paid the sturdy four legged animal a
visit at his training quarters. Vol
CAST and the kangaroo were natcned
for three round oout which was
entered into, with moving picture
camera man clicking nff each punch
and Jack Root acting MS referee, with
an audience Of 5000 people holding
their breaths when Battling Bob"
raised his, two hind feet and shot
solar plexus below into Wolgast, with
one sharp punch, putting him down
for count of eight Wolgast an
nouncing after the set-to that If the
kangaroo could make the weight he
could lick Joe Rivers or Battling Nell
son. A special moving picture film Of
this fight will be shown just before
the noted kangaroo makes his appear
ance upon the stage to show the audi
ence what and how he will try to put
Kid Daugherty, champion bantam
weight boxer of Australia, to the mat
for the count, who has been secured
at a great expense, to come to the city
to go three rounds with the animal
wonder of the world at each perform
ance. 81" &~
With the record that Daugherty,
brings and has established for himself
as fighter of note in his class and
the plain cold record of the kangaroo,
it looks as though the sport fans of
the city will be able to witness very
interesting match. The act has very
amusing features so therefore the
ladies and children should not miss
this big animal comedy act.

sun FOR HARVEST
over NORTHWEST

Minneapolis Journal: From Minne-
apolis to Montana and from western
Canada to Des Moines the sun was
shining on joyous scene today, for
golden harvest weather was the
rule and the farmers were busy gath
ering or threshing grain. Only in a
few scattered places, where the fall
was slight, was there any precipita-
ton. Grain trade men were congratu-
lating themselves that the weather
has turned from a condition that at
one time last week threatened wet
harvest.
Heaviest Early Movement.
This was the first day since the
1918 crops began to move that Mime
apolis receipts mounted to notable
proportions. There were 939 cars of
grain brought into the railroad yards
over Sunday. Although Monday re-
ord here, today's total was heavy
for a date so early in August. A year
ago today the total was 760, the
increase being 179. There were 491
cars Of wheat compared with Alt, and
81 of corn compared with 9, while oats
filled 154 cars against 7. rye showed
46 and 80, barley 143 and ITO, and flax
seed 2S and 4.
Flax Production Growing.
Flax is the late crop again this year
and the linseed oil trade is closely
watching daily developments. e. G.
Warner, president of the Midland Lin
seed Oil Co., said that every day Of
such weather as ruled today means
greater raw material supply for the
Minneapolis oil mills. IN
"Much depends upon the maturity OF
the late flax" Mr.. Warner said. "The
government has estimated 21,000,00(
bushels as the probable faxseed pro-
duction for Minnesota North and
South Dakota. But there is much more
immature flax that will make a crop OF
not according to weather. The fine
weather is adding many bushels every
day to the total"

Eveninq Grain Letter,

Chicago, Aug. 26. - Wheat: Has
marked time all day closing a shade
under last nights figures. There has
been very little in way Of important
news although the general run has
been favorable to holders. Premiums
for cash wheat advanced another n
c today when ga C over September
Other markets were proportionately
higher, Kansas City up II Omaha "
to 1c and country movement reported
to be very moderate. There was a
better cash demand from milIers and
sales total 105, 900 bushels. Exporters
turned their attention to spring wheat
owing to the scarcity of available soft
winter wheat and Duluth has been re-
porting some good export sales there.
Broomhall notes a continuation of bad
weather in Russia and Germany and
Bulgarian wheat estimates are being
reduced. We continue to feel that
purchases at closing levels are ip
order.
Corn: Dry weather throughout the
southwest and weather bureaus fore
cast of another hot wave in that Vicin-
fty together with adverse adVices from
Nebraska and strong cash situation
southwest were all constributino in
fluences. Country offerings of corn for
september Shipment are showing a
marked increase and it becomes appar-
ent that a considerable movement will
be experienced for first half of Septem-
ber. Cash demand for August ship
ment is exceedingly good owing to
light local stocks. It becomes appar-
ent that September corn will probably
| move higher from natural conditions.
Oats: Oats followed corn only par
TALLY. The weak cash situation
brought on heavy selling and the prob
able increase in country movement
and freer acceptances resulted in de-
| cline which took &c off of price fol
the day. There was a slightly better
eastern demand. Further accumula-
| ton is noted at primary markets. over
