FARMERS ARE BLUE
F. W. Leavitt Report* on Conditions
In the South and West.
F. W. Leavett, advertising manager of
the Housekeeper, returned yesterday from
ft trip through the southwest. Speaking
of the condition of the farmers he said:
They feel very bad 1 after seeing their
splendid prospects threatened with ruin at
the last of the season, and have sent out
some very pessimistic reports of total failure. '
But at present the early corn crop is all that
is lost. That will be used for fodder and It
will be needed, for there is not a blade of
grass anywhere. The lack cf pasture has
placed a large amount of stock on the
market at a low figure. Cow». are offered at
flO a head and yearlings at ?8 and $7. A
little rain during the next week will save
* the late corn crop. It has a good stand
and has not yet ta&seled. Flax is thin and
will weigh light. Fruit is drying up on the
trees, especially the peaches. These condi
tions exist well into lowa and down across
the Texas line. V^; 1

turned this morning from a three days'
absence, said:
At first I thought we would discover some
thing o* considerable value for the benefit
of the stockholders, but 1 am inclined to
think now that there is much less of value
than we . had hoped. True, there are con
siderable bodies of ore at one or two points,
but It has never been mined successfully, and
I doubt if much can be realized. However,
I hope to have a definite report ready in a

Ruler A. L. Hazer last evening impressed
upon all who expect to take in the conven

The 'Bis: Elk" Sent Ahead.
The big elk -which formerly adorned a
corner of the Minneapolis lodge room,
has (been sent to Milwaukee. It is now on
exhibition in front of the dry goods store
of Reed Brothers & Lennon, Grand ave
nue and Third streets, Milwaukee. The
elk stands in front of the main entrance
and has been photographed for the Mil
waukee newspapers. The elk is attract
ing a great deal of attention and is a great
"ad" for the Minneapolis founch. The elk
is to toe raffled off for the benefit of Min
neapolis lodge. Prospective ticket buyers
are anxious to know its pedigree and Var
ney Ruesell has accordingly sent the ani
mal's history to Milwaukee. It was killed
in the state of Washington by one of Buf
falo 'Bill's scouts, and .was said to be the
largeat elk in the world, its weight being
1,083 pound*.
"In order to determine Its age," writes
Mr. Russell, "Just count the pron*gs and
antlers and add two years to the total, as
the antlers do not begin to sprout until
the animal is two years old."
The badge to he worn by Minneapolis
elks is a handsomely painted Man-Elk on
a cardinal satin iback ground, nine inches
long by two inches wide. The coat is exe
cuted In purple, the vest In cardinal, the
trousers in white. The head is that of an
elk, the coloring being reddish brown. A
tasty pin, to which'hangs an elks tooth,
fasten* the <badge to the wearer's breast.
At the bottom of the badge is painted:
"44 Minneapolis 44," and beneath this in
scription is an Inch and a half of gold
fringe. The badge is a double one, the
otfher side being done in harvest sold,
and representing an elk in the attitude of
giving the whistle call. W. C. Hulett of

REMOVAL TO MORMONDOM
Internal Revenue Collector Cullister
Finds Not Smooth Sailing.
Special to The Journal.
Washington, July 18.— E. P. Callister,
recently appointed internal revenue col
lector for the district of Montana, Idaho,
and Utah, has filed a formal application
for the removal of the office from Helena
to Salt Lake City. Callieter is a resident
of Utah and wants to have the headquar
ters of his district as near home as pos
sible. In his application, however, he
alleges that Salt Lake is easier to reach
than Helena, and headquarters should for
that reason be located there. Former
Senator Carter has already filed a protest
against removal, while Senator Kearne,
the new republican, senator from Utah, is
backing Callister. It is intimated he will
win, although the commissioner said to
day that he had not considered the appli
cation.

DUTY OR REVENGE?
License Inspector Secures a War-
rant for Louisa Schubert.
SHE IS CAPT. COFFIN'S ACCUSER
The Offense Now Charged Said to
Have Been Committed Since
Her Action.
A warrant was issued to-day for the ar
rest of Louisa Schubert, charged with sell
ing liquor without a license. The com
plainant was A. L. Gardner, the city
license Inspector. Behind this statement
there is an interesting story, for the
Schubert woman is the complainant upon
whose testimony Captain Fred Coffin, of
the police department, was indicted by the
grand jury for soliciting a bribe.
According to the story told by the
woman, Coffin, who, in his capacity as a
mounted officer is detailed to that section
of South Minneapolis where Mrs. Schubert
is said to have been conducting a blind pig,
offered, upon the payment to him of $100,
to permit her to continue the illegal prac
tice and also not to arrest her for of
fenses already committed. On his side,
Coffin contended that his only reason for
letting her escape the penalty of the law
was his desire not to be harsh in the
treatment of an old woman. He asserts
that he simply warned her that she was
violating the law and that she must
atop it.
To-day when Inspector Gardner put in
hia appearance to secure the warrant for
the arrest of the Scbubert woman, he was
accompanied by Captain Coffin, who Is still
upon the police force in his old capacity,
notwithstanding his indictment.
There was some demur on the part of
the municipal court but when it was found
that the offense charged was alleged to
have been committed July 14, after the
date of the trouble with Coffin, the war
rant was forthcoming.
The offense alleged is that Mra. Schubert
sold, on the day mentioned, two bottles of
beer to J. P. McDonald. The case will
come up in the municipal court in the
morning.

The expected relief after five long days
and nights of hot weather did not ma
terialize yesterday. The low barometer
region moved around so as to produce a

the upper stories of buildings,but down on

air, but that resort, which was always
a standby in hot weather, was not a great
improvement on the city.

LAW AND BREWERY
Interesting Case Before South Da
kota Courts.
THE HAMM CO. VS. PARKER, S. D.
The State Law Say* a Warehouse
Cannot Be Maintained in
'' *'''•■" a Dry Town. '
Special to The Journal.
Sioux Falls, S. D., July 18.—Judge Car
land of the United States court, has re
fused to grant a restraining order in the
case of the Hamm Brewing company of
St. Paul, against the sheriff and state's
attorney of Turner county, and the mayor
and chief of police of Parker, which was
instituted in the federal court a few weeks
ago. The brewing company sought to
restrain the defendants from taking pos
session of the warehouse or depository
built and maintained by the brewing
company at Parker for several years.
The arguments were made Defore Judge
Carland yesterday.
At the last municipal election the peo
ple of Packer voted against licensing sa
loons. Under the laws passed during
the last session of the state legislature
no wholesale liquor or beer businesss
can be transacted, or warehouse or de
pository mafntained, in a municipality
which voted against granting a retail
license.
The brewing company maintained that
the law was unconstitutional and void,
first, because the title was defective; sec
ond, because it was an interference of
and with- .interstate commerce; thir<4
because in its nature it was special and
class legislation.
Judge Carland, after carefully consid
ering the arguments, refused to grant the
restraining order asked for by the brew
ing company, which will now be compelled
to appeal the case or carry it into the
state courts. The representatives of the
brewing company intimate that they will
appeal the case to the United State* cir
cuit court of appeals as soon as final
Judgment is rendered, which will be in
about ten days. During the arguments
It was contended by the brewing Com
pany that it had not since the first of
July, nor did it Intend, co long as the peo
ple of Parker voted against license, to sell
or deliver any of its product within the
corporate limits of the city, the business
of the company being exclusively with
dealers in surrounding towns.
A DOTY OF THE CITY
The Authorities So Regard the Col
lection of Garbage.
WILL ASK MONEY TO DO THE WORK
The City Engineer .Willing: to Accept
the Responsibility— Tax
■ ; ";- ' :"-'V-. Levy Desired. ' ■*.;
City Engineer Sublette and Health Com
missioner Hall will co-ooerate this year
in an effort to impress the board of tax
levy with the. necessity of making an al
lowance in the tax estimates for next year
for i the collection of the city's garbage
by the city. The r city engineer is of the
opinion that his department should be en
trusted with this work, and the health
commissioner agrees with him. The two
officials are now working together on a
scheme .of collection, and they hope soon
to" have definite plans and figures to pre
sent to the chairman of the board.
Both agree that the present system Is
wholly inadequate to meet the garbage sit
uation properly in Minneapolis. Other
cities that put the collection of garbage
in the hands of some one department and
meet the expenses from the general tax
levy are getting much better results for
their money than is Minneapolis under the
present system while the work Is done
much more thoroughly and the public
health better conserved. In proof of the
claim made for the economy of the mu
nicipal system, City Engineer Sublette
recites that Chicago is doing this work,
including the disposition of ashes, for 25
cents per capita and doing it well. St.
Paul spends but $19,000 a year and gets
splendid results. The work there is done
under the supervision of the health de
partment.
Crematory a Costly Luxury.
The Minneapolis crematory is receiving
from four to fifteen tons of garbage a day,
with an average of about ten tons.
With such a small aggregate, and that
coming in so irregularly, the expenses of
operation are much greater than they
would be under other circumstances. It
Is costing $1.30 a ton to burn the garbage
alone, Mr. Sublette says, and at least $3.50
per ton to get it there. This is too on- :
erous a burden to put on the individual,
he holds, and so long as the present sys
tem remains in effect he sees no possible
&how for any improvement.
His idea Is that the city should own the
carts for the colection of garbage and
hire the men and teams. Bach cart would
have two water-tight steel boxes for the
transportation of garbage, which should be
carried to the crematory at night on the
street railway, being collected by flat cars
from various ooints of concentration. He
has not yet prepared definite figures of the
cost of keeping the city clean under this
system, but will be prepared sono to do so.
HOW THEY WORK IN WIS.
FREE EMPLOYMENT BUREAUS
Interesting- Reports Made to Labor
Conunislsoner Erick
son.
Special to The Journal.
Madison, Wig., ,July 18.—One hundred
people found employment as the result of
the first weak of real work of the free
employment bureaus established at Mil
waukee and Superior by act of the last
legislature. The reports made to Labor
Commissioner Erickson for the week
ended July 13 showed that the total ap
plications for help numbered 424, while
the total number of applicants for em
ployment was 185. Borne 224 applications
for help were unfilled, while eighty-five
of the applicants did not find places which
suited them or to which they suited.
The places unfilled include 122 appli
cations for women factory handa, for
which there were no applicants. Only
four women applied for places, two as
scrub -women and two as domestics; both
domestics found places, but the scrub
women did not.
Among the men the greater number of
application for help was for laborers, of
whom 174 were wanted, and only sixty*
seven applied for work; thirty-five factory
hands were wanted and but nine applied;
one reporter filed an application, but did
not get a place; eight machinists were
wanted, but only three applied; the only
class in which the supply exceeded the
demand was for teamsters* of whom
six were wanted and eleven applied for
places.

MEN HARD TO GET
Outlook for Good Supply of Farm
Hands Is Not Bright.
THE DEMAND HAS COMMENCED
Railroad Contractors Have Xo Show
-Men Prefer the Farm
Work.
While it is yet about two weeks before
harvesting really begins, the probable
supply of laborers Is already being dis
cussed. Inquiry at the principal employ
ment offices of the city discloses the fact
that unless there is a large influx of men
from the east, —a thing which the great
steel strike may bring about,—there will
be none too many men to fill the demand.
From certain sections on both the
Northern Pacific and the Milwaukee roads
there Is already a call for harvest hands,
but the great movement to the wheat
fields of western Minnesota and the Da
kotas will not commence for perhaps ten
days yet.
It is almost Impossible to secure men
for railroad work, at $2 per day, even
with additional Inducements of free fare
and no office fee. The men are waiting
for harvest. At this time there is also
an almost unprecedented demand in the
city for men for all kinds of factory and
railroad work at wages ranging from $1.75
to $2 per day, but there are comparatively
few takers.
Present indications are that the wages
for harvest hands will open at about $1.75
per day with board.
H. S. Birch of the National Employment
agency, made the following statement
this morning:
We can use at the present time at least
2,000 men, and to convince you that we are
in earnest we will offer to send out from
300 to 500 men, cßarge them no office fee,
furnish them free transportation and garan
tee them steady work at from $1.75 to $2 per
day. This is for railroad work for reputa
ble contractors; bu| we also have a great
demand for harvest hands and factory la
borers, and I have no hesitancy la saying
that 10,000 good, honest laborers can get
work at once here If they will come this way.

WON'T COT LOOSE
Local Democrats Prefer the Party to
Mr. Bryan.
PROPOSITION OF THE OHIOANS
Chairman Barton of the ■ County Or
- ... ganisation Diicmsea the Atti
. tude of Local Leaden.
Leading local democrats do not appear
to sympathize with those Ohio Bryanitea
who desire to initiate independent politi
cal action simply because the Ohio demo-.
cratic state convention ignored the former,
party leader. The proposition to organ
ize an independent Bryanite party, there
fore meets with a chilly. response here.
Says Chairman Barton of the county
democracy: .......
Bryan will continue to be an important
figure in the democratic ranks, but the party
will not nominate him a third j time, and I
doubt if the next national ■ platform will fol- 1
low the lines of the Kansas City declaration.
It is my opinion that events have effectu
ally killed the question of free silver coin
age, and the next party convention will drop
that out of sight. But it will reaffirm the
doctrine of anti-imperialism.
Democrats generally believe in the doctrine
of the inherent right of all peoples to govern
themselves, and I think the platform will
declare in favor of cutting loose entirely
from the Philippine islands. Personally I
have not been very radical in my views on
this subject, but 1 have contended from the
start, and my opinion Is unchanged, that in
the very beginning this government should
have told the Filipinos that as soon as they
proved themselves fit for independence they
should have it. I believe the party will go
much further than that, however, and de
claro for immediate and complete severance.
Mr. Barton does not believe that John
Lind will consent to make the race for
governor again, holding the opinion that
he will adhere to his expressed desire to
refrain from active participation in poll
tics.

TEXAS OIL NEWS
Pointers for Plucky People.
Gusher No. 16 came in Thursday even
ing, July 11. it Is the well of the Co
lumbia Oil company, striking oil at a
depth of 790 feet. The well is not as
great a producer as the deeper wells, and
there is some talk of drilling deeper.
The oil gushed only 20 feet above the sur
face. The location of the Columbia well
in Block 21, Gladys City, being about 500
feet northwest from Guffey No. S, as
shown ii) the plat issued by the Saratoga
Oil & Pipeline company.
A lady wrote to the Saratoga Oil and
Pipeline Co., 728 Andrus Bldg., yesterday,
asking where she could subscribe for
Texas Oil News. It is published every
day now in two Minneapolis papers, two
Duluth papers, one Fargo paper, one Ana
conda paper and occasionally in a WT
nona paper. It is true and newsy and
intended to interest the people who know
a good Investment when they see one.
A great oil tank is being built opposite
New Orleans on the Mississippi river
looking forward to a great oil trade up
the river. While this is only a beginning,
it may yet mean crude oil shipments to
the Northwest by river steamers.
The Guffey Petroleum company have
announced that they will refine Beaumont
oil for Illuminating purposes. This is a
very important fact, because it proves the
practicability of taking illuminating oil
from the Beaumont product, which has
remained in doubt until now.
Full particulars about the Saratoga
Oil & Pipeline company Bent free. Write
to 728 Andrus building, Minneapolis.
