I Fraser and H. F. O'Hare of his city
were in Bismarck for a few days last
week on two forgery cases before
Judge Nuessle of the district court.
One concerns a note for $4,000 made
by Norris Duffy to J. j. Bellies of this
city. Duffy argues that he was not
aware of the contents of the note, as
the body was written after the sigma
ture was affixed. H. F. O'Hare is pro-

Evening Grain Letter.

Minneapolis, Mimi, July IT,
Wheat: The northwest was again in
tbs limelight with it's rust reports
which were of a conflicting nature.
Bulls found helr in stronger European
cables n while some OF yesterdays
rust reports seemed to lack contirma-
ton, there were many from other
sources which only served to force
shorts to cover. Samples we have re-
ceived from around Fargo do not show
rust to any degree, but there were re-
ports from several reliable people
which would indicate it's presence. 1t
will require further development to
tell what damage it will do. In the
meantime, we advise caution on either
side.
Corn and oats: Are being neglect
ed. The all-important factor in the
market today was rust in wheat and
until some new developments come in
coarse grains that is important, the
trade will give the bulk of their atten-
ton to wheat.

Modern MiIier.

st. Louis, July 17.-Weather condi-
tons in winter wheat belt favorable
for threshing which is now nearing
completion except where wheat is
stacked. Movement has been heavy.
Hard wheat finding a good export
market and soft wheat meeting an &C
tive domestic demand. In the three
spring wheat states, rain and hot
weather have favored rust develop
ment. There has been deterioration
in some districts particularly the Da-
kotas from rust and unfavorable
weather for riIening. In these dis
tricts shrunken wheat is promised. In
Minnesota the principal valleys report
a good prospect,

Corn specialists said leading shorts

CRISIS SEEMS NEAR
IN DUAL MONARCHY
Crowd in Vienna Marches to the
Foreign office and Protests
Against War Methods.
DEMONSTRATION IN PRAGUE
BOhemians object 60 Having Sons
Killed in War Fought for Anti
sIav Interests-RiOt i'm
Budapest.

ROME. Dec. 16.-According to reports
from the Austria frontier. the situation
in the dual monarchy Is approaching what
might be called a crisis
These reports are worthy Of credence,
They set forth that following the news OF
the defeat inflicted on the Austrians by
the Servians. the situation became grave
and was rendered more acute by internal
disorders, especially at Vienna. Budapest
and Prague.
At Vienna large crowds gathered in the
Ringstrasse and marched to the foreign
office and the war office. the people call
ing loudly in protest against the way the
war is being conducted. At Prague there
were demonstrations which assumed a
separatist character, in the sense that the
Bohemians do not desire to see their sons
killed for German or anti-Slav interests,
and have not hesitated to express their
views along this line.
At Budapest the demonstrations were
more violent and almost assumed the
character of a riot. The principal streets
OF the city had to be cleared by the police,
and while attempting 10 make its way to
the ministry of defense. the crowd cried
down with Potiorek." General Potiorek
is one of the commanders.

Hartlepool and
Scarborough Are
Rich in History

Hartlepool was the place where the
Comte de Bar landed from his fleet in
iii to assist William the Lion In invading
England. From that time the impor-
lance of the harbor seems to have been
appreciated. and it was the only ancient
port of the Palatinate. Here Bishop
Pudsey prepared the galley. fitted with
silver and containing a silver throne,
on which he intended to accompany
Richard I TO the Crlsades.
Hartlepool formerly was a very perfect
specimen of fortified town. 1t was cir
oled by a wall. strengthened by bastions,
breast wall and parapet, and there were
ten towers to defend II. In the reign OF
Queen Elizabeth the town fell into such
decay that it was spoken of as AN an
cient decayed coast town. once a brave,
stately and well fortified town, now only
a sea land habitation for fishermen" 1t
continued to go down until 1918, when a
law was passed for improving the port.
1t then began to improve. until 1t now is
an important port for the expectation Of
coal and the importation of lumber.
Scarborough was the landing place OF
the Norseman Harold Hardrada, in 1855,
when he began his invasion of North
Britain.

way Encouraged Over Work
Accomplished Here.
GOOD LOCAL INTEREST
Believed to be the Initial Stage of a
Great Era Of Interurhsp Con-
struction for this
Vicinity.

ENCOURAGING reports come from the
representative of the Keokuk, Nauvoo
and Fort Madison Electric railway
company, who has been calling on our
citizens during .he past week in con-
scrfption. Sufficient interest has
been shown locally to justify con-
|tinuation OF the work for another
week, Blu. this important project is
not yet assured by any means. 1t is
necessary that the building of this
electric railway should receive the
prompt and hearty support of the
people of Keokuk. Keokuk is the
largest city on the proposed line r.
is in position to reap the greatest
benefits from its operation, and
should not permit it to be said, in
case the line is not built, that the
failure was due to the lethargy OF the
citizens of this city. Fort Madison
experienced no delay or difficulty in
raising her portion OF the subscrip-
ton. Shall the people of that city be
able to point to us and remind US
that We have been the cause Of fail
ure in this undertaking?
Keokuk should get behind this in
terurban proposition with the true
Keokuk spirit and complete The nee
essary subscription this week. The
$4,000 which is asked for the pre-
ferred stock will be no more than will
be required for the establishment of
terminal facilities right here in the
city. and the completion of this line
is but the initial stage Of great |
era of interurban construction which !
will result in lines radiahng in all
directions from Keokuk and will make |
this city a mercantile center with a
territory many miles in extent.

Who Was a Former Esteemed Resi-
dent Of This City, Num-
Der or Years
Ago.
AGED EIGHTY-sIX YEARS
Her Husband, Alfred Avery, Was In
the Shoe Business in keokuk
With the Late Hiram
Farrar.

| The remains of Mrs. Emma Lewis
Avery, a former resident Vt Keokuk
arrived in the city yesterday after
noon from ST. Louis where she died
and the body was cremateG, aged
eighty-six years. She was the widow
of the late Alfred Avery, who. 1t will
be remembered. was in the shoe busi-
ness here with Hiram Farrar. brother
in-law OF the late Hon. Sam NJ. Clark.
Mrs. Avery had two sisters, residents
OF Keokuk, who died here, Mrs. Far
rar and Mrs Clara Miller, who died
about two years ago, and was tho
mother OF our fellow citizen Samuel
A. Miller. Mrs. James McCahan OF
213 North Sixth street has distant
connections with the family. Mr.. and
Mrs. Avery went from here to Louis
villa, KY, where he had prominent
connection with an agricultural paper
published there and later removed to
st. Louis. Three sisters, Mrs. Farrar,
Mrs Miller and Mrs. Avery held
prominent social positions in Keokuk
and had many friends here among the
members OF the older social circles.
Mrs. Avery was woman OF taste and
culture and will no doubt be remem-
bered by some of the older residents
of the city, who knew her well dur
ing her residence here. A lady OF
Keokuk who knew her rem smbers
that she was a member OF church
but could not recall the name or de-
of the congregation, un-'
less it was the Unitarian church, but
would not be positive On the subject.
Ons by one they are passing away
and soon there will be left only those
Of later day and generation. Still
their memory and sterling qualities
will remain with their posterity as
sacred models upon which to fashion
their lives.
Mrs. Avery is survived by one
laughter, Mrs. John Gorse OF st. !
louis, at whose home 1t is supposed /
,he died. The hour for the burial |
