Minneapolis, July 1.-Wheat: AT the
close tonight it is difficult to deter
mine whether the market is in a weak
or strong position. Considering the
fact that Liverpool was 3-4M1 3-8
higher, the closing of the market to-
night being practically the same as
last night, does not indicate very great
strength. On the other hand the bears
have been unable to make much head
way and 1t looks as if the market
would back and fill around the prices
until something further is known re-
garding the spring wheat O There
are some reports of too much moisture,
and red rust in various sections. but
on the whole our reports are very op-
timistic. Kansas City wired that thew
would be receiving heavy receipts
about July 10. The position of old
wheat in Minneapolis is very strong,
and it is all apparently in good hands.
Fol the time being we advise a scalp
ing attitude, preferring the short side
on the bulges.
Corn and oats were weak early on
good rains through those sections of
the country where most needed. 1t
had the effect Of shaking out a. large
number of weak holders and created
quite a bearish sentiment. July corn,
however, showed good rallying power
and closed above last nights prices
while the other options were weak. The

FELL DEAD WHILE
MILKING The COWS

Mandan, N. D., July IT have a
terrible pain. I guess I'll have to
quit" said Mrs. Paul Jacobson to her
husband. And hardly before she had
finished speaking she fell forward un-
der the cow she had been milking,
dead.
Mrs. Jacobson and husband were in
the corral at the farm home near Har-
mon milking the COWS. The wife had
MIXED two and was finishing the third

Bile came.
Her husband and children rushed

of life was gone. She was carried into
the house and neighbors summoned,
who found the bereaved family grief
stricken at their sudden terrible loss.
Mrs. Jacobson had been in excellent
health for the past several months
since she had from a severe
Illness. She was 35 years of age. Her
husband and five children survive.
The deceased was the daughter Of
.Annon Johnson of Sims and came to
Morton county with her PARENTS when
about two years old. She was mar
ried seventeen years ago to Paul ia
cobson and tor the past thirteen years
she has lived on the farm near Har-
mon.
Besides her husband and children,
there survive her father and mother,
Mr.. and Mrs. Annon johnson Of Sims;
several sisters and brothers, Mrs. John
Olean, jr., Mrs. Theodore Feland, John

side at Sims.
Mrs. Jacobson was well known and
had hundreds of friends who are deep
" shocked at her sudden demise. The

Judge c. A. Pollock returned this
morning from Sherbrooke, where he
last night completed the adjourned
June term of court for the Third
judicial district. Three criminal and
thirteen civil cases were on the calen-
dar. On the criminal docket the most
important case was hat in which
Charles Cain was tried for assault
with intent to kill. In a drunken row
last November Cain shot Harry Car
ter, a negro who formerly lived on
Front street in Fargo. Cain was found
not guilty by the jury, although he
admitted the shooting and claimed

Drastic action for the enforcement
Of the state prohibition law was taken

of sales of liquor at tine barn but, new

convicted OF keeping a common nuiS-

Winter Wheat.

Cincinnati, O., July 1.-Reports from
our correspondents based on condi-
tons existing June 24-26, are to the
effect hat the states Of Ohio, Indiana,
Missouri and Oklahoma have not had
sufficient rainfall to maintain the nor
NAL growth condition of croI.s and
considerable deterioration has resulted
in those states on that account. This
drOuth condition has also existed in
southern Illinois, A favorable and sat
isfaCtory soil condition has been main
tanned in Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska,
although rain has been somewhat ex-
cessiVe recently in northern Iowa, pre-
venting a satisfactory cultivation and
laying by Of the corn crop. Minnesota
and a portion of South Dakota have
received too much rain and crops are
beginning to show deterioration on that
account by too rank growth of straw
and consequent lodging of grain. The
winter wheat crop is now being har-
vested and the reports indicate that
the yields per acre exceed expecta-
tons and average estimates. We now
estimate the winter wheat crop of the
surplus producing states in bushels
and the growth condition and acreage
Of corn is now reported as follows:

LOSES
IN COURTHOUSE
BONDING BATTLE

Lakota, July by a vote of L.

bond the county in the sum of $4,000
and to erect a new courthouse build
ing at this. the county seat, the Vot-
ers yesterday, in no uncertain man
ner. indicated their ~disapproval of the
plan, closing one of the hardest fought
contests ever held in Nelson county.
A total vote Of 1866 was cast,
probably the largest in the history of
the county and a campaign, marred
by the exercise Of every effort on the
part Of the rival forces to get the vote
out. was made.
Over fifty rigs. including autos and
teams, were out rounding up the vot-
ers and the residents Of this city, nat
urally in favor Of having the issue
pass favorably, were confident Of vic
tory.
The Issue.
The proposition as voted upon was,
first, to erect a courthouse in the
city of Lakota to cost $4,000. and
secondly, to bond the county for $780,
900. taking $685. 900 now on hand out
of the treasury to complete the sum
needed for the proposed building.
In 1884, they voted to remove the
county seat from Lakota, but this was
defeated. Those who opposed the
plan to establish a new county court
house here evidently felt hat should
the bonding issue pas it would mean
the permanent location of this city as
the county seat and there was all the
more significance to the fight on this
account.
Opponents Happy.
The opponents to the plan are jul
bilant and they point to the decisive
result as indicative that should the
question Of the removal Of the county
seat to Michigan or some other town
come up again, it would carry.
Residents of Lakota are not Of this
opinion, however, although the re-
suits of tho election are anything but
satisfactory.

A PASSING FANCY

She is the sweetest little creature
That ever trOd the street;
With a figure simply charming
And the daintiest of feet.
She has eyes that shine like diamonds
And two lips so plump and red
That to simply think of kissing
Fairly sets me off my head.
1 love to sit and think of her
And dream of what I would do;
If I could rave her all my own,
To live this lifetime through,
I'd buy her silks n satins,
Her fingers deck with rings,
I'd have a house and carriage
and all those swollen things.
But what's the use of dreaming
Of what I'd low to do?
Nine dollars coming weekly
Won't buy Injuries for two.
So farewell'to golden visions
OF this maid so chic and sweet;
I'll just let some other fellow
Rustic "shoesies" for her feet.

Chicago, July 1.-Sentiment in wheat
and corn last night was mixed. Many
thought wheat low enough, but were
afraid to be long much. The corn trad
crs were bullish on new July and mix
ed on December as it is a weather pro-
position. No deliveries of wheat are to
be made today but a fair run of corn
and a few oats are to be sent out on
July contracts. Itjs about a stand off
on oats. Heavy covering of July wheat
in Chicago and sales at Minneapolis
by the Armour Grain Co. and Barrett
was a feature of yesterdays market.
Cash markets-EXpOrters who recently
reported large sales of new crop winter
are now taking the cash wheat to APP
ply on their sales, obtaining about l.
100000 here yesterday. At ST. Louis
an exporter bought all the No. 2 wheat
in the sample market at &c over July,
but prices were 1-2c lower for the day.
Cash corn values were weaker in all
markets in sympathy with future, los
ing part Of their premium over July.

HOMEOPATHIST +.
HITS ALCHOHOL

Washington, July 1.-Afoat and
ashore, yesterday sees the last Of the
wine mess in the United States navy.
Secretary Daniels famous prohibition
order went into effect at midnight last
night, after which any officer found in
possession of alcoholic liquor on board
ship or at any naval station, is guilty
Of misconduct. There is only one ex-
ception, mad in the case of the ships
surgeon who may keep a limited sup
ply Of spirits on hand for medical use
only. But Admiral OF Captain is as
guilty as the seaman if he keeps a
stock of wines or liquors for his own
consumption or the refreshment of his
guests.
The naval hostess, too, after last
night must give up the punch-bowl as
a magnet for her guests if the scene
of the entertainment be within the
naval Jurisdiction, as at the Naval
Academy, the naval station and the
navy yards. This feature appealed
strongly to Secretary Daniels. who be-
lieved that many young officers could
trace their downfall to over indulgence
n punch at these social functions.
At midnight last night the naval
regulations which have heretofore al
lowed wardroom officers to form a
wine mess or club for the purchase
and use Of wines, were stricken out,
and these stern words will be substi-
tuted:
1.-The use or introduction for drink
ing purposes Of alcoholic liquors on
board any naval vessel, or within any
navy yard or station, is strictly pro-
hibited, and commanding officers will
be directly responsible for the enforce
ment of this order" ...
Since announcing this change some
time ago Secretary Daniels had en-
couraged expressions Of opinions of
his action, but the adverse comment
from many officers who held it. to be
an infringement of their personal Ii
berries, did not go far toward leading
h secretary from his firm stand in
the matter.
The only possibility of modification
Is said to be special dispensation which
may be granted during the exchange
Of international courtesies, or on such
an occasion as the gathering Of ships
Of all nations at the opening Of the
Panama canal. ..-a9
The only nation thus far to follow
the example set by the United States
is Norway whose parliament on June
10 passed a resolution making both
the army n the navy messes "dry."
This was pleasing to Secretary Dan
iels, and he believes other nations will
come to the support Of this theory
that alcohol and military efficiency do
not mix. The German emperor has
lately been insistent upon temperance
among the mid-shipmen, and in Rus
STA whose naval losses in the Japanese
war have been charged largely to Ii
quor, the temperance movement has
also gained ground.

Descending Potato Prices.

Commission men at st. Paul and Min
n~eapolis expect that potato prices,
which are now far greater than they
were at the same period last year, will
be cut in two in a couple of weeks.
New potatoes were quoted at 81 a
bushel, a price more han half a dollar
better tina last year. Old potatoes
were selling at $1.30.
A shortage of old potatoes and the
delay Of the new crop in maturing are
given as the causes of the present high
prices. Last year at this time new
potatoes were bringing $1.46 per bush
ell.
The homegrown new potatoes will
said a. commission man. When they
arrive there will be a big drop in prices
and I expect to see potatoes selling at
close to 81. There has been an unusual
shortage Of old potatoes and this has
helped to boost the prices"

Liverpool, July Wheat market
opened with moderate covering induced
by the late steadiness in America and
prices 1-8c to lac higher. Following
the opening there was a further ad-
vance of 1-8c to 3-SC with outside sup
port owing to firmer Manitoba offers
and expectations of lighter Russian
shipments this week. At 1880 p. m,
steady lac to 3-Sc higher.
COrn-Opened with September slight
lY under pressure. The late rally in
America was Offset here by free Danu-
bian offers, easier plate offers and ex-
pcctations Of freer shipments Of plate
during July. The market was dull at
the opening range of values. Private
estimates received here regarding the
American winter wheat yield are very
optimistic but it is thought that the
present price is discounted.
