THEIR TROUBLES.

The police are using a great deal
of patience in inaueurating the new

R[DMAN' S DYE
MAY REPLACE
THE CERMAN|C
Investigators Will Study Color
ing Materials Used by
Indians.
EXPEDITION FINANCED
BY PRIVATE MEANS
U. Of M. Representative, and DR..
Wilson of New York Leave
for Reservation.

An expedition which may result in
discoveries of tremendous Importance
to America at this time, when it is
almost Impossible to get German
dyes, is that which started out from
Bismarck Tuesday to discover the
methods used by the Indians in color
ing materials to find out if they are
adapted to commercial use.
In charge of the investigation are:
George e. Haupt of st. Paul, repre-
sentative Of the University of Min.
nesota, and Dr.. Gilbert Wilson, for.
merly pastor of the Presbyterian
church at Mandan. DR.. Wilson is
with the American Museum of Natu-
raj History, with headquarters at
New York. ,. ... .,..,.
Government Will Assist.
They went directly to Van Hook,
where the Indians met them and took
them to the reservation. They will
be assisted in their work by govern.
ment officials and many of the In
dians.
I The Indian baskets have been fam
Gus for their fast dyes. DR.. M. r.
Gilmore, curator of the State Histori
cal society, who is an authority on
Indian economic life, believes that
there is decided possibility that the
lexpeditien will be %successful IN its
main quest, that Of assisting the great
mills in finding suitable dye that Is
fast.
Or. Gilmore's Statement.
DR.. Gilmore says: ..
"The subject of dyestuffs has agi
tated the minds of manufacturers and
dealers throughout this country since
the outbreak of the German war has
hindered importation from Europe
But before Europe ever had heard OF
the Western Hemisphere, America
had dyestuffs and dyers.
But the subject of native dyestuffs
held little concern for the incomers
of the European race, just as the
matter of other products of native
American use were little regarded BY
! Europeans. They cared only for the
things to which they were accustom
ed, hence America has been com
pletely Europeanized.
Dyed Much.
But we may give glimpse into thu
dye shops of some those old-time dy
ers in their work of dying feathers

Must Guarantee Storm
or Picnickers of First
Baptist Will Strike

Unless some way is found to guar
antee a real live thunder storm, with
te brilliant electrical display and all
oter accessories, members of te Bar
AGA club and the Young Peoples Chris
tian Endeavor society of the First
Baptist church scheduled for picnic
on the Missouri river, have threaten
ed to strike.
Last Thursday the societies picnick-
ed on the river bank and were fortu-
nate enough to get caught in the sud-
den storm. Finding refuge in va
cant house, they we're mistaken for
I. W. WIS and a lively mix was only
averted by the tact and diplomacy Of
the young men. The thrills enjoyed
on that hike have made them look
with disdain on ordinary picnics.
Therefore, President Paul Vessel
of the Baraca club, Rev. Bruce e
Jackson, pastor of the church, and
Miss Carrie Haugen of the Christian
Endeavor society, have before them
this difficult problem of serving up a
cyclone. They will hold conference
today with Weather Observer Roberts
and see what can be done.

WHEAT ADVANCES
ELEVEN CENTS;
RUST IN CANADA
Just 13 IL Gents Under Topmost
Level at Outbreak of
War.
INTENSE EXCITEMENT
IN TRADING PIT
Estimates Domestic Yield Will
Be Cut Down 136,000,000
Bushels.

Chicago, Aug. 9.-Giant crop losses
in the United States and Canada sent
the wheat market today nearly
straight skyward. At one time the
ascent of prices amounted to II 3-4
cents bushel. Trading closed in a
whirl of excitement, showing net
gains of 10 5-S to II 5-S cents, with
the September option at $1.44 IA to
$1.44 1-2 and with December at $1.4S
to $1.4S 3-S.
Something of the strain involved
and of the far-reaching consequences
may be realized by the fact that, ac-
cording to the United States govern
ment crop report, which was the prin-
cipal cause of today's excitement, the
domestic yield of wheat for 1916 will
be 59,000,O00 bushels smaller than
last year.
Black rust spreading in Canada ard
indicating that the crop there would
be cut down 136,000,000 bushels for
the 1916 total, made the situation still
more acute, as the United States and
Canada have been furnishing six-sev
enths of the worlds breadstuff sup.
plies to the countries at war. The
biggest jump in prices today was
right at the outset, exactly cents a
bushel over night. Strenuous ,ffu-ts
to buy cleared the market 1T inter
walls almost completely, seld4ng the
market higher and, higher, until the
May delivery cut $1:53 IL, a price
just 13 IL cents under the topmost
level on record in the violent fuc:ua-
tions of the first year Of the European
war

ALLIES STILL
WIN SUCCESSES
ON BOTH FROM is
Italians Capture Gorilla, % Miles
Northwest of City Of
Trieste.
TAKE MORE THAN
10000 PRISONERS

The victorious offensive of the En-.
tente allies on the Galician and Italian
fronts still is being rewarded with i'm
portant success. In Austria the Ital-
ians have captured the city of Gorilla,
% miles northwest of Trieste: in Cali
cia the Russians, in quest of Lemberg,
have progressed, while in France the
French and British forces in the Som
me reion have won additional points
of vantage.
The capture of Gorilla by the Ital-
ians seemingly is as important gain
by the Entente allies as has yet been
obtained in their present offensive.
The city being the door through which
the italians may now pass in an en-
deavor OF carry out their long cherish
ed idea of capturing Trieste, Austria's
big sea port at the head of the Ad-
ratio sea.
Casualties Heavy.
The Italians inflicted heavy casual
ties on the defenders of Gorilla, took
more than 1000 men prisoners and
captured considerable war material.
Inc RUSSIAN general, LeCHlILhy,
has driven his wedge further into the
Austro- German lines, near Scanisla,
capturing eight miles east of that i'm
portant city, through which the rail-
road leads to Lemberg, the town of
Tymrenitsa. Northeast of that town
the Russians have crossed the right
bank of the Koropice river and captur-
ed a number of important position
west of Valesniop and southwark
along the Niznorff- f-Monasterzyka rail-
road, making the Russian menace
against Halice greater.

MAL0NEY WILL
!. BURN BIG CROP
Wheat Affected by Black Rust
Will Be Destroyed by
Fire.

man T. H. Maloney of the board Of
county commissioners, who operates
one of the larger farms in the county,
will burn three hundred acres of
wheat which has been ruined from
the ravages of black rust. There are
many other fields which will be a
total loss. But the practical loss of
his wheat crop is not causing Tom
Maloney any worry. He just accepts
the situation as one of the incidents
of life which goes to make things in
teresting, and will soon have his land
plowed up and ready for bigger crop
