Bullish Trade in
Wheat Despite the
Black Rust Rumors

The stories Of black rust in the
fields of the Dakotas, Minnesota and
the north would not down and as a
result on the Omaha market wheat,
both the cash and the options, was
good buy. Cash wheat was up to
2 cents, while the September and De-
cember futures made even greater
gains.
Cash wheat, both old and new, or at
least the bulk of it, went above ST per
bushel, the top being $l.0S. All told,
there were forty-five cars Of wheat,
six of which brought grain of this
years crop.
Corn followed wheat in the advance
and gained one-half to cent over the
prices Of Friday. Sales were made
at 75@77H cents per bushel. The re-
receipts were twenty-one carloads.
Oats were one-half to three-fourths
of a cent up and sold at 3SH@39H
cents per bushel. There were twenty
seven carloads on the market.

Disease and Distress
Prevail in Jerusalem

Correspondence of The Associated Press)
Z Zurich, Switzerland, July 10.-Pri-
vate letters received here from Jeru-
salem state that the number Of Liban-
csc and Syrians sentenced to death by
the Turkish authorities is constantly
increasing. .......
In consequence Of the rapid spread
of spotted typhus, whooping cough
and smallpox the Turkish govern
ment has closed all the schools in Jer-
usalem. Newspapers are appearing
with black-bordered sheets and are
filled with death notices.
Despite the censorship, the journals
publish long articles sharply critiz-
ing the Turkish government for its
neglect to enforce the most elemen-
tary sanitary measures. Wounded
and plague-stricken soldiers are
brought from the battlehelds on the
canal and transported in the most
primitive manner through inhabited
districts.

War Changes English
Etiquette of Weddings

\ (correspondence Of The Associated Press1
\ London, July l0.--The war has al
tered the etiquette of weddings in
England. The war wedding ring is not
now always made Of gold. A bride
may be married with lead ring made
Of the piece Of shrapnel that injured
her bridegroom.
The invitation list is, il not entirely
suspended, much restricted. As rule,
only near relatives receive cards bid
ding them to the wedding.
The war bride has revised the we'd
ding present tax also in most salu-
.iSfy manner. 1t is understood to be
h1patriotic to give presents made Of
gold; silver is welcomed instead.

recorded in the two contests, Witt

Excess in Female
Population of
France Increases

Correspondence of The Associated Press)
Paris, July 1.-The latest statistics
of the labor department show that
while women outnumbered men III
France before the war by 756,682 lin
total population of 39,6O2,2S8) the
war will probably decrease the num-
Der of men at least 100000, giving
the women a majority of l,750,0O0.
The additional 100000 excess
female population will be obliged, in
part at least, to support themselves,
increasing considerably the percent
age of female wage earners, which, &C
cordiug to statistics. of the year 1912
was one-fourth of the total number
of employed in commercial and in
dustrial establishments subject to in
spection by the labor department.
There were 100000 persons earn
ing salary or wages in France before
the war. They were distributed as
follows:
FaTm nanOB .otouv'vvv
House servants .........."....... SVV,vUV
Government employees. ............. soo' ooo
Commercial employees .............l ,oo0'ooo
Industrial employees. ...............6 100000
OF the 100000 workers in CONNER
cial and industrial enterprises in
spected in 1912, l,2l2,890 were women
and girls. There were, besides, l,0OO,-
900 women and girls, mostly garment
makers engaged on piece work at
home and escaping the inspection law.
They brought the total Of female wage
earners up to 2,2l2,8o0 as against g.
787,l10 men. Since the war began at
least 10000 women have been added
to the number, making in round num-
bers 100000.
Half of the total war losses in men
will fall on the factories and CONNER
cial establishments, decreasing the
total number of male wage earners to
3,287,llO. Supposing that half the
same number of women will replace
them it will bring their total up to o.
$4,000 or AZ per cent of the whole.

Miss Cr%uikshank is a private pupil
in special voice, and has done very
satisfactory work in our public recit-
ais here. She has a fine lyric soprano
voice, and is an attractive young wo-
man. l am sure she will give salts
faction.
Miss Hagen after graduating from
the Dakota Conservatory of Music in
Fargo went abroad and studied under
the guidance of some of the most bril-.
liant teachers Of the present day, es-
pecially in Germany. Unfortunately
her studies were interrupted by the
outbreak of the European war. Her
return to Fargo was the occasion of
intense interestto all who hadfollowcd
the career of this gifted young lady.
Joseph Lhevinne, the world famous
pianist Of Berlin, Germany, writes of
Miss Hagen: CATER studying with Mrs
Lhevinne during the season of 1913
1914 Miss Hagen's work has been SO
successful that I was able to accept
her as a pupil. Judging by her musi.
col ability and the very earnest work
Miss Hagen did, I take pleasure in re-
commencing her a most successful
pianist" Words of praise like these,
coming from a world-renound artist
