NO CLAIM AGENTS WANTED. !. 4:
In various places unscrupulous agents
have appeared, who offer to collect claims
soldiers and soldiers families, on pay
ment Of fee. The public should be
on it's guard aga' nst such men. If you
have. a just claim against the govern
ment for compensation for soldiers
death, no agent is needed In fact, the
government will not recognize an
agent or attorney; you must make the
claim yourself. The same is true Of
government allotments and allowances.
No agent is needed in the collection of
insurance. Go to the president of the
Red Cross chapter Of your community
and he, with the help of the lawyers
giving their time to this work will advise
soldiers and their families as to their
claims, and help them to fill out the
proper papers. No fee is charged.

WANT. HUGHES FLIER BACK

| That the lack of adequate train service
on the Northwestern line west of Manka-
to, which was made part of the discussion
at the last monthly meeting of the New
! Ulm Commercial Club, is not only felt
| by the business men of this city may be
seen from a petition signed by great
number Of business men of Springfield
The Springfield Advance has this to
! say on the subject:
IF the unanimity with which a
petition was signed by our business men
and citizens last week has any prestige
| there are bright prospects of securing
the reinstatement of the old Hughes
| train, which was taken off of this run
as. a war measure to meet with the
governments conservation plans over
a year ago: The petition was circulated
by Messrs. W. G. Frank, W. A. Ochs,
and DR.. B. J. Lattimer at the same time.
that this committee made the rounds
| Of the business places of this city to
secure funds with which to finance
the Orpheus band.
| THE reinstatement of the Hughes
train would go long way toward
re-establishing train service that is
absolutely needed on this end of the
! division, and which our people patriot
| ically passed up when it was taken off
to conform with the conservation prog
ram, but now that the war is over with
| and orders covering conservation have
| in a great measure been withdrawn,
they can see no good reason why they
should longer be denied the convenience
of this train. It is expected that the
railroad officials will now realize that the
travelling public is: entitled to a re-
instatement of this train at an early date.

SHOWER PUTS THE
SOUTHERN OUT OF
BUSINESS AGAIN

1t rained north and east of Aledo
yesterday afternoon. And when the
news came that the Southern had
ceased functioning on schedule
there was no surprise.
What was reported to have been a
small cyclone put the road out Of
commission just outside of Milan
and the o'clock car out of Rock
Island had to be towed to Gilchrist
and Monmouth by a steam engine.
The scheduled $40 car carrying the
daily papers did not get into this
city until approximately O'Clock.
Although efforts were made to
bring the days edition of The Argus
in by auto, ignorance of the where
abouts of the car bearing the papers
and almost impossible roads en-
countered at Gilchrist and vicinity
further north caused the plan to be
abandoned. This morning lack of
power caused all cars to be late,
with the probability that service
could not be resumed throughout
the day.

Weakness in the hog market tend

Of corn. After opening &c on to

size to S11zc, the market hardened

Provisions were nearly lifeless
owing in the main to the fact that

New York, July 29.-The course
of the market today is expected to
be dull, waiting the steel report
The traders generally expect to be
able to extract some bullish points
from it. Personally, l feel that
recent action Of the stock, said to
have been under the guidance of a
large and strong group, mas been
such as to wholly discount any
thing but the most favorable news.
The whole market is m much the
same condition. 1t lacks much of
the late spontaneity of bulIishness
and short interest is small
The steel meeting this afternoon
will naturally restrain operations
to an extent, but buying even on
moderate dips in the steels and
leaders generally should soon par
splendid profits.
The street is keenly interested
in the steel meeting this afternoon.
Judge Gary is expected to make

prices. We cot a conservativ
buIlish position !. the market, ia
