port of no gain in corn condition just
came i'll time 10 hold corn at present
levels. lnglis and Pete Goodman make
corn 2,450 million. Snow says 1850
million. Central west terminal corn
prices are II to rs cents. Argentina

New York. Cash oats tone is report
ed improved. Contract oats are 41c
TO 42c. Demand for oats continues.
Corn gossip is mired. Snow report
was fairly bullish, but the advance
was small. Market acts as though
forcing of new high points will be diff
ficulty. Primary receipts are equal to
last year. September wheat and oats
liquidation should be practically COM
/ pleted. This fact gives the market
railying chance and would take long

continue to say some gain in corn
but a condition above 6S is not indi-

Store SAFE IS ROBBED
N THE EARLY EVENING
Real American Money Anouatilg To $155
Taken From Safe Ii Pratt
& Co. Store

The safe in the store of Pratt &
Company, grocers, was looted soon
after the store closed or between
$3.50 o'clock Tuesday night. The
thief obtained $155 in cash and took
checks amounting to $3.50 or $3.50.
The store had ben closed for the day
and all the salespeople had gone.
The safe door was only closed, not
locked. M. E. flaming of the firm
returned to the store at 1880 o'clock
and found papers strewn over the
floor and the money that was in the
cash drawer missing. Entrance had
been gained by prying a rear door
open with a hammer. The police
were called but the robber had left
no clue. From the manner Of op-
Grating it is suspected the job was
done by some one who during the
day had been in the store and took
observations. The lights we're on in
the store over the safe at the time
the marauder was there. w. B.
Pratt is the city treasurer and earl
ier in the day had in the safe more
than $4,000 of city money. 1t is be-
heved the robber knew about and
expected to obtain that.

THE CONFESSION" SUNDAY
AT EVELETH AUDITORIUM,

THE Confession This is the
title of a new play that will be seen
at the Auditorium in Eveleth Sun
day night of this week.
The play as the title indicates, is
on the order of "Quo Vadis' and
"The Sign of the Cross and it is at
least refreshing to note that some
thing is about to be presented to the
public which is away from the class
of plays which have been of a dis
gusting nature. 1t has been mat
ter of deep consideration when con-
sidering a nights entertainment at
the theater of late as to the pro-
priety of talking ones wife or those
of tender years. The line of sug-
gestive and at time vulgar plays
which have been presented for public
approval, have begun to pail.
The Confession is an intensely
human, powerful drama; it's author,
James Halleck Reid and it's manage
ment are making no extravagent
claims for their production prefer
ing to let the press and public be the
judges of their eoffrts to present
something really worthy of patro-
mage.
The list of players contains names
of people who have been engaged
especially for their exceptional abil-
ity and a number of them have been
seen through here before. Richard
Sterling whose portrayal of the lead
ing character is causing much favor
able comment has been seen through
here before a number of times with
Tim Murphy and Florence Roberts.
Charles Garfield has been associat-
| ed with Klaw and Erlanger's ben
Hur" for the past five years both in
this country and abroad.
Seats are now on sale at the City
Drug Store in Eveleth.

WINTER WANTS DIVORCE

Nearly sixty years old, drinks like
fish, married only six months, then
told his wife to get out or he would
kill her, such is the counter claim
that Mrs. Minnie England Winter
brings against her husband William
Winter in his suit for divorce.
The action which promises to be
a sensational one was filed in the
court house Tuesday.
According to the reply of Mrs.
Winter the poor lady has been ILL.,
treated and abused by her So year
old farmer husband during the short
time they lived together on Winters s
farm at Bear River up north of Hib-
bing. The old lady is said to be
nearly blind and in feeble health and
entirely without means of support
being dependent on certain relatives
in Concord, Mich, for support. 1t
is claimed that Winter drove her to
Cook, Minn., on January 16, two
years ago and then bought her a
ticket to Duluth and paid one night 8
lodging at the hotel, telling the hotel
man to put her on the train at 5
o'clock in the morning.
Winter has a good farm up at
Bear River and is a road contractor
on the side and Mrs. Winter claims
she had to cook and keep house for
the men working on the farm and
those doing road work for Winter.
She admits that she left him but says
he drove her from his home with
the team of mules that she had paid
for out of the little money she had
been able to save before she was
married and acting as trained nurse
The sum was $50, and she gave this
to her husband to buy team OF
mules with. 1t was all she had and
she says he kept the mules.
The trial will probably develope
| some interesting situations inasmuch
as the plaintiff claims desertion and
the defendant says her husband
made insulting remarks to her anG
threw things at her and beat hel
during their six months honeymoon
on the Winter farm way up in thu
ittle-known farming section nortl
of Hibbing beyond the railroad.
The defendant is 49 years old
and almost blind,
