The hession fly as a factor has passed
out OF the market and something new

Unless the quantity of the winter
wheat crop is materially reduced, the
winter wheat markets will continue to
be a sale on the upturns.

Oats: News on oats was again

Once we were a nation almost wholly
agricultural. Not until recent years
did we reach the point where we could
speak of ourselves as a manufacturing

considered, before we again look upon
the production of food as the dominat-

FOUND IN
RAILROAD YARDS
Foul Play Suspected in Case
of Deceased Negro at
Cavalier.

Casselton, N. D., Oct. 9.-The re-
mains of a young and we'll built COL
ored man were found in the Great
Northern yards southwest of the city.
Brakeman Osmun. who had run out
from his train to make signals, dis
covered the body between some piles
of railroad ties.
Death came as the result of four
No. "A bullets. One had penetrated
the skull in the back of the head. One
had entered above the heart. shatter-
ed a rib or two and lodged in the liv-
er. A third one had passed through
the flesh Of the left arm ana a fourth
had struck the man in the bowels. A
knife had been hit and broken up and
was found by the body. These facts
were ascertained on examination Of
the body and were brought out at
the inquest when the verdict was
death by gunshot wounds inflicted by
unknown parts. 1t seems probable
that deceased was trying to escape
from a pursuer as the wounds are
such as to show a back or side ex-
posure.
Nobody knew the dead man, but
he was in Casselton on Saturday, and
at one Of the stores bought five boxes
of matches which he had on him
when found.

IT'S true enough that summer days,
Though they some pleasure lend,
With all the universe ablaze,
Come slowly to an end.
And longer still the night appear,
With tossings filled. and worse;
We long for winter to be here
And summer roundly curse.
But when comes stove erecting time,
Although the wind blows chill,
We dread the task our cruel cline
Unloads upon US still.
While all our muscles ache we cry
AS down We lug the thing,
This talk Of summers all a lie,
For yesterday was spring."
