the Day.
Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, June 7
Wheat went up this morning, with many trad
ers unable at first to account for It, for the
weather was bright and the northwest outlook
rery favorable even tho there was rain again
In 'the Red river valley where not needed. It
W really the southwest that caused the
strength, for, while there were bad reports
from the vUe\, the trade knows that conditions
there are already very unfavorable and it is
doubtful If the market would have jumped a
cent on that alone, but, taken In connection
with stoims thru the southwest where har
'Testing Is getting under waj and where good
weather is most needed, it was enough to
scare the shorts pretty badly. Te^as sent In
Mack rust news, and the Indian Territory sent
omplalnts. Just how badly mixed the situa
tion Is may be Judged by a message to whal
rlon from Severence, Kan which place, with
*the' grain trade worried over too much rain,
ends word that only half an inch has fallen
there in eight weeks and that the lack of it
ha* made the hay crop a failure J. D. Fraser
bad advices from Bowen of Des Moines and
from Aiken St Louis, that were, not especially
bad, and one very reassuring raport from Hen
nlng, 111. Farmer City sent Lewis a favorable
message on corn and tho crops generally. Har
risonville Mo, wired Eiper that 2% inches
f rain fell, making everything look fine, and
McPherson, Kan., sent another reporting i
inches \1 Chambers had a wire covering
Sumner county, Kan and saying that the
farmer* in the county, especially on lauds
just northwest of Mulvane, are becoming
alarmed over the ra\ages of the army worm
"which is in the crop Bartlett haB a represen
tative. Fuller by name. In the spring wheat.
He wired Chicago today, from Glenwood, Minn
as follows. "Great bulk of the wheat looks
fine some low spots yellow looks like more
Marfleld was a leading buyer here and In
Chicago Woodworth sold considerable Jul
McDonald and Daggett were buyers of July, and
Watson was a seller of September and aJuje
of July In Chicago Gardner and Paddleford
were buvers of wheat supposedlv on the rust
In Texas" Slaughter had a message making the
crops around York, near Omaha, 10 per cent
less than last year
Another 25 000 bu came out of store since
yesterday, enough to keep the stocks on the
slide but less of a dailv falling off than ex
pected. So far this week there 1B a decrease
of 300,000 bu. When it is considered that
i receipts here have for some time been running
well under last vear more wheat ought to come
out of store and would, but for the present
moderate rate of production ot the flour mills.
I Only 104 cars were received here today com
pared with 237 a year ago Other comparisons
were 15 and 6 at Duluth, 6 and 6 at Chicago,
20 and 79 at Winnipeg, St Louis 38 000 bu
against 17,000, Kansas City 49,000 against
80,000
Cash demand was not quite up to the mark,
Tu the wheat moved at unchanged prices rela
tive to Julv, No 1 northern l%c over and
No 2 northern at July price
Foreign markets helped the bulls. There were
advances of %@%d in Liverpool, %c in Berlin
and %c in Budapest Broomhall had advices of
torrential rains in Bulgaria damaging to the
wheat crop, and an unfavorable report of weath
er conditions in portions of Russia came from
Odessa
The Price Current notes improvement in win
ter wheat generally as result of the recent rains

REPUDIATES HIS D. D.
English Preacher GHves Up Degree Con
forred by Temple College.
New York Sun.
One of the moat prominent noncon
formist ministers in England is the Rev.
Mr. Clifford, who is always spoken of as
Dr. Clifford. A newspaper raised the
question as to Clifford's right to call
himself doctor. This brought ou the
announcement that the decree was con
ferred on him by Bates university, in
the United States.
This has aroused general question of
American D.D. degrees. Many virtu
ally of a bogus nature are held by non
conformist ministers. Another promi
nent nonconformist divine, the Rev. Mr.
Aked of Liverpool, now announces that
the time has come for him to repudiate
the degree D.D., which Temple college,
Pennsylvania, conferred on him.
When it was first given him he en
joyed it for twenty-four hours, but has
regretted it ever since.
I wish I were free from the exasper
ation of spirit it involves," he says.
"When an anonymous critic cannot an
swer my arguments he can always sneer
at my degree. Accordingly I ask all
to call me mister."
When the Rev. Dr. Russel Conwell of
Temple college was asked for a state
ment in regard to Mr. Aked, he replied
quickly: "The system of conferring
honorary degrees is faulty all thru, but
I don't believe Dr. Aked said what he
is reported to have said. He was anx
ious for the degree, the petition for
which, signed by many learned men,
was presented thru Dean Gordon of
Temple college. He has used it re
peatedly in signing articles in American
and English publications, and did this
only a month ago in contributing an
article to a New York magazine. Tem
ple college has conferred only one
other degree in Europe. It never con
fers a degree at home or abroad except
upon petition by men of unquestionable
learning.
I think some system should be es
tablished providing for greater certain
ty that those upon whom degrees are
conferred are worthy of them. They
should be proved men of learning.''

WATCH REGULATOR
Hundreds of People Gather Every Day
to Watch the Big Steel Ball Drop.
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Up on top of the Arcade is a big
steel ball that tells the mariners on the
lakes the exact hour of noon. It tells
the pedestrians on the streets just when
to set their watches. It is operated by
the government, thru the medium of the
local office of the United States hydro
grapher.
Hundreds of people watch for the ball
every day noon. The curb of Buperior
avenue is lined by men with watches
out of pocket Few of them know,
however, what it is or for what it is
there.
The government has taken into its
hands the protection of seamen, and
hedges them about with every precau
tion. Not the least of these is the cor
rect time. So a ball has been arranged
on a tall building that will be raised
at five minutes before noon every day
and lowered at the second of 12 'clock.
The ball measures about three feet in
diameter and is operated along a groove
in a pole twenty feet high. The ball
drops automatically.
Down in the office of the hydrograph
er are mysterious little electrical in
struments that are in constant communi
cation with the naval observatory at
Washington. The ball is connected with
one of these instruments as is a big
clock. Each tick of the clock is re
codred in ink on a paper-covered cylin
der. At 11:55 the ball is raised. The*
current is turned into the mechanism
that controls it, and each tick of the
clock affects the delicate mechanism.
At the stroke of 12 the swing of the
pendulum releases the contact controll
ing the ball and it drops rapidly into
the great bowl built for it.
