SUICIDE OF THE PARTRlDGES
struction by Plunge Into Wa ter In England.

A very strange occurrence Tn nat ural history has been seen in the flooded country of the Fen district, writes a correspondent of the Lon don Daily Mail.
 A narrow bank runs alongside a flooded area of nearly 2,000 acres. Walking along this with the inten- ton of learning what had happened to his cartridges, keeper put up a covey. It flew in the direction of the longest arm of the flood. The birds, which were rather a late matched covey, after flying some dis tance, suddenly and at one moment together dropped into the water and were all drowned.
 It has been much discussed lately how far cartridges are able to fly, but the curious part of this collapse was that the whole number fell si- simultaneously, as if they had decided to die together. It is a strange CO., incidence that an almost identical occurrence has been recently wit messed by a sportsman shooting by the seacoast. In this case the birds were blown out to sea, and the covey was picked up by fisherman within a small compass.

Little Rock, Jan. 24-At a meet Ing ot the Penitetiary oard Thursday afternoon, all bids for the purchase of 565 bales of cot ton were rejected, the highest bid being l3 cents. It was order ed that the cotton be transferred from the state farm to Pine Bluff. and there stored to await an in- crease in price.

For the same time the cost of running the institution was S344, 364,04, and there is now enough money on hand, with the proceeds from the sale of cotton not yet sold, to run the peniten- tiary until the first of June.

MARKET

Chicago-The government report
due today is expected to show a crop
OF over 2,400, 900 bushels of wheat and
some r looking for 2,450. 100000
bushels Of corn. Farmers reserves are
estimated It 130.000.00O to 100000
600 bushels. Last year they. were Co.
10000 bushels, the smallest since
1902. It is the belief of the wheat
trade in most OF the markets Of the
world. that prices are 1t a healthy
level where they are not expected to
decline much or advance to any extent
unless there is a radical change in the
outlook for the crop in Argentine and
India. This is the critical period for
the Argentine crop and perfect wealth
err 10 needed for filling as harvest is
within ten days to.two weeks from be-
ginning in the northern section.
Corn-Sentiment In the corn trade
is mixed. the general belief is that
prices should go lower until 1t has
been demonstrated how large the
movement of new corn Is and the way
1t :s to be taken by the trade. A gen.
eral belief is that the movement will
be readily absorbed.

RATE increase
NOT JUSTIFIED
s1-N" go.
The Assistant Fire Marshal
Makes Report on City
of Dickinson.

That the general increase in insur-
ance rates is unjust as far as the city
Of Dickinson is concerned, is the
opinion Of II. I. Reade, chief assistant
state fire marshal, who has made an
inspection Of that city at the request
OF W. c.. Taylor, state insurance com
missioner.
Mr.. Reade reports that the fire pro-
lection OF Dickinson is very adequate.
During the last five months the fire
loss has been less than $1,000, and no
fire has gotten beyond the control Of
the department.
The inspector states that he has
made a thorough inspection Of most of
the buildings Of the town, and that
beyond his comprehension.
He says that all the business places
are we'll kept, clean, and up to date.
A central heating plant Is in use. and
no fires r kept up in any Of the
buildings Of the chief business block.
A number of Improvements have
been put in during the last season.
including improvements to the water
system. amounting to $4,000. and the
city now has one of the best water
systems in the state.
In summing up his report. Marshal
Reade says: II do not believe that
the raise in insurance rates is justifl-
able. under the improved conditions
at Dickinson"
The probe into conditions at Dick
inson is part Of the investigation be.
ing conducted by the state insurance
department in regard to the increases
IN rates which have gone into effect
in many cities of the state. There is
a general impression that these in
creases are not JUSTIFIED by the condi-
lions.
