Get Receipts. The noted case of Henry Cramer of Clara City, Minn., against the North western Elevator company of Minne apolis, has been decided in favor of the defendant. There is involved in this case a question of vital interest to the grain trade and to every north western farmer—the right of a coun try elevator manager to issue re ceipts for grain in form other than that prescribed by statute and the regulations of the railroad and ware house commission, and the binding power of such receipts or memoranda upon the elevator company. The case was bitterly fought in June, 1901, was lost by the defend ant, went before the Minnesota su preme court, was sent back for re trial, and came up again last month at Granite Falls. Fifteen or more rough slips bearing memoranda in numbers and signed by J. Keely, agent of the Northwestern Elevator company, but without date or other marks of definiteness, made up the principal exhibit. The court decided that such receipts are not binding upon the elevator company and are not collectable. In the case in question the elevator company was able to show that there was no record on their books that they had ever received the grain and that their agent had never notified the Minneapolis office of any such receipts. The first knowledge of it came with the presentation of the slips in question, which, the farmers claimed, were issued to them by Keely for grain taken in. With this decision in mind farmers and country elevator men will have need for greater caution hereafter. State Fair Races. The Minnesota state fair has broken so many records in recent years that the information that the race entry list for the coming fair of 1904 has again established a new limit will be no surprize. But it is a surprizing fact that the gain this year over 1903 is much larger than that of 1903 over 1902. Entries closed July 1 and Secretary E W. Randall completed his compila ations and was able to announce no less than 388 entries for the fair races. This is 71 more than last year and 108 more than in 1902. The total 388 entries is quite beyond all precedent in racing history. When the Minnesota fair races secured 280 entries in 1902, horsemen through out the country were astonished be yond measure and said that the list would never again be duplicated. Last year they could not believe the totals at first this year they are likely to un derstand that the Minnesota fair is about the biggest thing of its kind on earth. With Broken Neck. Living with a broken neck is the condition of Leo McConnon, the 15 year-old son of Edward McConnon of Winona. Young McConnon and a number of companions were in swim ming in the river at that place. McCon non dived from a pile into shallow wa ter. He struck his head on a stone with the result that his neck was dis located. When he did not come to the surface at once his companions went to his assistance and brought him up. He was unconscious. He was conveyed to the hospital and there an examination showed that his neck was dislocated. He is still alive and there are hopes of his recovery, although the chances are much against him. Arrested. Inspector Collier reported to the off ice of the St. Paul division of post office inspectors that he had rounded up three postoffice robbers who had been at work in the two Dakotas and Northern Minnesota. The men were arrested as White Rock, S. D., and the names given are James O'Brien, Frank Howard and George W. Healey. Booty to value of $800 was found in their possession and a full kit of burg lars' tools and explosives for safe blowing. It is thought that these are are the men who committed the rob beries at Bemidji and Birholtz. Bail was fixed at $3,000, and a hearing will be given at Deadwood in September. News Notes.

Coilins Bros, and Peterson & Booth's stores also robbed of about $100 each. m^ DISTURBS CONDITIONS. General Trade Situation Affected by the Strike of Packing House Employes. New York, July 16.—Rf G. Thin & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: "Trade conditions were gradually be coming more normal after the conclu sion of political conventions, when a new disturbing factor appeared in the strike of packing house employes and allied trades. This enhanced prices of meats and added many thousands to the already large army of unemployed, weakening the purchasing power of the people still further. Aside from this unfavorable development, the news of the week contained much encourage ment. Crop prospects improved and the general level prices for farm prod ucts promises a large return to agri culturists, which means better business for all industries. Confidence grows with the crops, retailers showing more disposition to prepare for the future as the season advances with no serious setback to the farms. A few manufac turing lines are more active, although there 4s still much idleness at the shops and mills, and pig iron output for July will be smaller than any re cent month. "Failures this week numbered 225 in the United States, against 213 last year, and 20 in Canada, compared with 16 a year ago." Bradstreet's says: "Diverse move ments in trade, industry and specula tion give an irregular appearance to the general business situation. Dis tributive trade and industry is still quiet and even dull, awaiting clearer views of the crop out-turn. Damage to the winter wheat crop by heavy rains is admitted, though alleged to be exaggerated. Disorganization in the meat industry has followed a strike which, if not settled, as now seems likely, contains much power for evil. All meat prices have been advanced and cattle shipments checked. Rail way gross earnings for the fiscal year will show an increase over the best previous years, but net results are less clearly defined, with the question whether an increase or decrease will be shown still in doubt. The general un dertone is one of confidence, good re sults being looked for by the business world from an expected large volume of fall trade." WASHED ASHORE. Bemains of F. Kent Loomis Found Near Plymouth, Eng.—Sus picion of Foul Play. London, July 18.—A body, supposed to be that of F. Kent Loomis, was washed ashore Saturday morning at Bigbury Bay, Devonshire. The body was that of a well dressed man, five feet six inches in height, attired in a gray overcoat and dark blue suit. In the pockets were found a card with the name "F. Kent Loomis," American and English coins, American notes, a gold watch, etc. The body, which was discovered by a la borer, was in a state of considerable de composition. It was removed to a neigh boring farm building to await the in quest. The police said that there is no doubt that the body is that of Loomis. Joseph G. Stephens, the American con sul at Plymouth, was notified and after viewing the body said he had no doubt it was that of F. Kent Loomis. Reports to both the Press association and the Central News assert that a further ex amination of the body of F. Kent Loomis has given rise to grave suspicions on the part of the local officers that Mr. Loomis met with foul play. The wound behind the right ear is described as being cir cular, large and clean, and it is thought that it was inflicted before death. Bigbury Bay is ten miles southeast of Plymouth, where the North German Lloyd steamer Kaiser Wilhelm II. ar rived June 20 from New York, having on board F. Kent Loomis, brother of Assistant Secretary of State Loomis. Mr. Loomis was missed at one o'clock that morning and has not been heard from since. He was charged by the authorities at Washington to convey to Abyssinia the treaty of commerce con cluded between the United States and Emperor Menelik. Mr. Loomis traveled with William H. Ellis, of New York, who in view of the disappearance of the former, took the treaty, which was found in Mr Loomis' baggage, to Adis Abeba, the Abyssinian capital. Shot by a Woman. Lawrenceburg, Ind, July 18.—At Oliver's construction camp near Man chester station Sunday, Sarah Simmons, aged 20, colored, fatally shot James Smith, 30 years old, also colored. After the shooting the woman dressed herself in male attire and attempted to escape with William Davis, a negro, threaten ing pursuing officers with a revolver. The pair were taken after an exciting chase and lodged in jail. Will Make Few Speeches." Elkins, W. Va., July 18.—Former Sen ator Henry G. Davis, democratic nom inee for vice president, does not expect to make any formal speeches during the campaign, except that he will follow the •McKinley porch policy and receive dele gations. He expressed his approval of the McKinley method. If he cannot avoid it, he will make a few speeches, but under no circumstances more than six. i2lrf JN Fire in Michigan Village. Ironwood, Mich., July 16.—The vil lage of Kimball, including the Kim ball & Clark mill, a large stock of lum ber and nearly every building in the village, was destroyed by fire Friday. The loss is estimated to be $75,000* S A Fatal Blow. Benton Harbor, Mich., July 18.—J. A. Cook, a local manufacturer, killed Burton Grissold by striking him -with his fist. ADD ADDITIONAL TARIFF Talk of a New Bill of Lading for Rail road Freights. Shippers are manifesting great in terest in the threatened movement of the railroad companies east and west, to draw a new form of bills of lading. The new bills will be in the form of a contract and will reqire all shipments to be designated as to wheather carried at owner's or at carrier's risk. If at the risk of the railroad company, an additional 20 per cent of tariff will be charged. At present goods carried, nominally, at owner's risk can be col lected for by the shippers if lost or damaged. The proposition of the railroads came to light at a meeting of railroad tariff men at Chicago last week. It met with a vigorous protest on the part of the shippers east and west. The easter ners formed an association and pro pose to fight hard. Western manu facturers and wholesalers have acted more conservatively. They elected representatives to attend the next meet ing of the railroad men at Manitou, Colorado, to be held in a short time. Shippers are up against it hard if the new scheme is put through. If they send stuff at their own risk the con signee will refuse to pay the extra charge. If they don't they stand the loss completely, if the goods are stolen. Some of the big Chicago wholesalers say that they would have to organize bureaus to find out how every separate consignment is to be sent. There is more Catarrh in this section of the countrv than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many ears doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a con stitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitution al cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a tea spoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address: F.J.

Pains wouldshoot through my back and sides and I would have blinding headaches. My limbs would swell up and I would feel so weak I could not stand up. I naturally felt discouraged for I seemed to be beyond the help of physicians, but Wine of Oardui came as a God-send to me. I felt a change for the better within a week. After nineteen days treatment I menstruated without suffering the agonies I usually did and soon became regular and without pain. Wine of Cardui is simply wonderful and I wish that all suffering women knew of its good qualities. Treasurer. Portland Economic League Periodical headaches tell of fe male weakness. Wine of Cardui cures permanently nineteen out of every twenty cases of irregular menses, bearing down pains or any female weakness.
