Colony of Spiders.

Theodore Roosevelt, in Scribner's Magazine.
We came across many queer insects.
One red grasshopper when it flew seemed
as big as small sparrow: and we passed
in some places such multitudes of active
little green grasshoppers that they fright
ened the mules. At our camping place we
saw an extraordinary colony of spiders. 1t
was among some dwarf trees, standing a
few yards apart from one another by the
water. When we reached the camping
place, early in the afternoon-the pack
train did not get in until nearly sunset
just ahead of the rain-no spiders We're
out. They were under the leaves of the
trees. Their webs were tenantless, and

administration on the grounds that it
has mismanaged financial affairs the
republicans have not tried TO explain
how fl was that they left the state
bankrupt when II was turned over TO
Governor Marshall In 1909. The rec
ords at the state house as kept by the
republicans, themselves, up TO the
time they went out IF office show
very clearly they had been shifting
the funds and lodging their financial
obligations in every manner possible
until they could have done so no
longer even had they remained in
power.
Bankrupt i'm 1909.
The fact that the state vas bank
rupt when the democrats took charge
under Gov. Marshall was admitted in
a statement prepared for the legisla-
ture in 1903 by the republican deputy
auditor OF state who was an expert
in financial matters and later on in
the argument on the Vincennes uni
versitv bond case before the supreme
court when Gov Hanly attempted "a
resist the payment Of S12O,0O0 bond
issue. IL was stated 10 the supreme
court then by attorneys representing
the governor that one reason why he
had held up the NincenTies university
bonds for two years was the state
was absolutely NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
funds to make payment on the bonds.
There is ample and unmistakable
evidence on the records at the state
house as kept by the republicans,
themselves. TO show that they left
the state financially in a very bad
condition The democrats under Gov.
Marshall and under Gov. Ralston
were obliged TO make temporary loans
from time TO time 10 meet expenses
which have arisen. Not only was the
state left without funds by the re-
publicans but the republicans also
provided for building of and equip
ment for three or four new state in
stitutions. No funds were provided
for these institutions which left TO the
democrats to complete and finance.
The situation beginning the Mar
shall and RalstOn administrations
was practically the same as a business
man who would take charge OF a
growing Industrial concern and who
would expect at the end Of ten years
of expansion TO operate IL on exactly
the same basis on which il started.
The governor and other democratic
officials have come to take the at
tack of the republicans on state fl
nances as a matter Of course as il has
been apparent for some time that
the republicans had to make an is
sue on which 10 start their campaign.
However, as soon as the campaign is
opened the governor and others in
terested in the success Of the present
administration will take pleasure in
explaining it's financial policies to the
people Of the entire state.

NEW WHEAT WILL
Be OFFERED SOON
Cutting in South Dakota Fields
viii be General in Ten Days.
Hedging Sales Expected in
Next Few Days.
BY JOSEPH F. PRITCHARD.

CHICAGO, July 11.-Wheat har-
vest will be commenced in South pa
kota next week and according To ad-
vices received from that state. the
cutting of this grain will be general
in ten days. There will be lot OF
new wheat TO come out of that coun-
try as soon as it can be prepared for
shipment and the hedging sales are
likely to be large in advance OF the
threshing operations.
These conditions mean an increase
iii the offerings. as southwestern mold
ers are more than likely to open their
chutes in the belief that the growers
of spring wheat will force their grain
on buyers.
Lower prices are more than likely
10 be seen and as the foreigner has
already partially called a halt in his
operations as a buyer, there Is pos
sibility of the markets Of the world
again falling into the hands of the
bears.
There has not been enough black
rust in the spring wheat fields OF the
northwest to cause any uneaslness
among the growers there. but specula-
tors az Chicago and Minneapolis have
kept closer to the speculative shore
because OF rumors OF the dread dis
ease.
AS viewed from an impartial stand
point il will take new buying power in
wheat to sustain values up around
the present level. There are few in
the trade who believe that there is a
likelihood of anything happening to
the spring wheat crop that would
cause a falling off in the promised big
Yield. There was less doing on ex-
port account and there was consid-
cradle talk of the falling off in the
demand from abroad. When the day $
business was summed up it amounted
to possibly 10000 bushels at the
seaboard and as much as 100000
bushels at Chicago. The cash wheat
premium declined at Chicago sharply
and cash wheat was very weak in the
southwest. No. 2 hard winter which
sold in this market at IL a sc over

Wheat at Chicago showed losses OF

DOPE OUTCOME Of

Hop Onto Remark Made in
Jest and Sends Out Story
That Indiana is in State OF
Bankruptcy.

INDIANAPOLIS. July lin line
with the campaign Of misrepresenta-
ton which the republican state COM
mittee has been following for the last
few months regarding the condition
Of the states finances the story Is
being sent out from here represent
ing that the Ralston administration
admits that il is without funds and
that a temporary loan OF a million
dollars will be necessary 10 pay the
bills that viii be created between now
and November.
This story is so published that IT
contains a quotation from Gov. Rails
ton to the effect that the state is
bankrupt, and that one million dol
lars will be necessary TO keep vari-
Gus departments going until the next
remittance is received from the cOun-
" treasurers.
Gov. Ralston said today that the
story Is an absolute fake. He eX-
planned that after the state board OF
finance paid off a large temporary
loan and a part Of the foreign bond
ed indebtedness last week a local
newspaper man asked him, regarding
a conference he had held with Audi

II was stated in the story which has
been enlarged upon by the republican
organization that the governor not
only admitted that a temporary loan
OF a million dollars would be necessa-
~ but that there wasn't a penny in
the treasury at this time. The gov
ernOr said today that at the time the
story was written there were several
hundred dollars in the state treasury
and that the state was in good shape
financially as the man who wrote the
story could have ascertained for him
self had he taken the trouble TO have
done so.
The governor in explaining how the
story originated as far as he was con-
cerned went on TO state that while
II is possible a small temporary loan
may be necessary TO meet some Of the
bills for various institutions prior to
the November tax payment time the

tion and that after November there
