WHEAT SHORTAGE.
George J. Hammond, president
of the Coe Commission Company,
Minneapolis, now comes forth
with the dire prediction that
there will be a big shortage in
the world's wheat supply this
year.
The disastrous crop weather
of the past few weeks makes this
an interesting topic, says a Min
neapolis paper, for the potato
crop is damaged several millions
and other great Northwestern
products are big sufferers.
According to Mr. Hammond
there has been a very pronounced
falling off in the world's produc
tion of bread making cereals.
Not alone in the Northwest has
there been bad weather and con
sequent decrease in production,
but the whole world's crop has
been much smaller than during
previous years. It has also been
much below the commonly ac
cepted estimates of this year's
production.
Some of the figures upon
which Mr. Hammond bases his
estimates are interesting. Great
Britian produced only about 45,-
000,000 bushels this year, and
the requirements are over 200,-
000,000 bushels. In other words,
the rest of the world will be
calLed upon for over 50,000,0C0
bushels.
All the wheat exporting coun
tries will, it is claimed, have less
of the grain to send out than last
year. Taking India, Argentina
and Australia into consideration
there will be a great void, which
the United States and Canada
cannot fill. The pacific coast
crop is 25 per cent lower than
last year and there will be prac
tically none to export from
there. The Canada crop falls
many million bushels below that
of last year. After the Minne
sota Hour mills are supplied and
the seed crop provided for there
will, according to the tigures of
head of this great commission
company, be no wheat for ship
ping from either Minnesota or
the Dakotas. These states last
year shipped 50,000,000 bushels,
exclusive of that going to the
Minnesota mills.

Breckenridge, Minn.. Sept. 19.The

ident Edward Webber, cashier. This

Bank of Donnelly, at Donnelly, and
Breckenridge National, at Brecken
ridge.

sioner of Education Lindsay has de
manded the resignation of Charles G.
Post of New York, the supervising

aspersion on him as regards finances.

FATHER IS FINED
For Compelling His Daughter to Work
Fourteen Hours a Day.
Chicago, Sept. 19. "Because this
child is of your own flesh and blood is
an unmerciful excuse for making her
work until her nerves are ready to
break. As I interpret the law a father
is not exempt from punishment for
employing his daughter fourteen hours
a day. You are fined $5 in each of the
three cases against you."
This was the reply made by Justict
Severson to A. Schayer, proprietor of
a small clothing factory, who had de
clared that he would "work his daugh
ter Clara fourteen hours each day if
he wanted to."
ADOPTS YOUNG BURGLAR.
John Cummins Will Try to Reform
Boy Who Broke Into His Home.
Bucyrus, Ohio, Sept. 19.Instead of
a load of shot and six months in jail
for burglary, Charles Mickles of Crest
line, Ohio, has found a home in the
family of the man whose home he
broke into. Mickles, who was only a
boy, in company with a man named
Dickson, entered the home of John
Cummins, eighteen miles south of
here. They were caught and ar
raigned for the offense. Cummins ap
peared in court, secured the release of
Mickles and made the necessary ap
plication to adopt him.
Salisbury's Will.
London, Sept. 19.The probating1'of
Lord Salisbury's will showed that he
left an estate valued at $1,551,680.
Workmen Fatally Scalded.
St. Louis. Sept. 19. Moses Hart,
Louis Brooks and Charles Ronk, em
ployes of the Swift Packing company,
were fatally scalded yesterday by fall
ing into a vat of boiling water They
were literally parboiled.
Liptors's Condition Satisfactory.
Chicago, Sept. 19.At 10 o'clock last
night the physicians reported that the
condition of Sir Thomas Lipton was
entirely satisfactory. The crisis is ex
pected within the next twenty-four
hours
CRISIS IN BRITISH CABINET.
Chamberlain, Ritchie and Hamilton
Have Resigned.
London, Sept. 19. The official an
nouncement of the resignations of Mr.
Chamberlain and two other members
of the cabinet was made late last
night at Downing street in the follow
ing communication:
"The following ministers have ten
dered their resignations, which have
been accepted by the king: Rt. Hon.
Joseph Chamberlain, secretary for the
colonies Rt. Hon. C. T. Ritchie, chan
cellor of the exchequer, and Lord
George Hamilton, secretary for India."
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain re
signed from the cabinet because he
felt that Premier Baffour's attitude on
the fiscal duestiou was not sufficiently
advanced to enable Mr. Chamberlain
to remain a member of the govern
ment without the sacrifice of his own
views.
Chancellor af the Exchequer Ritchie
and his followers are as openly op
posed to any measure of retaliatory
tariff as Mr. ohamberlatn is convinced
that the unity of empire depends on
preferential duties in favor of the col
onies.
The retirement of Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain, which precipitates the
most dramatic crisis artd the bitterest
party struggle since his secession from
Mr. Gladstone's home rule cabinet,
was unknown and unsuspected in Lon
don until the official announcement
was issued late last night, too late for
the evening papers.
RIOT IN RUSSIA.
Fierce Battle Between Christians and
Jews in the City of Gomela.
St. Petersburg, Sept. 19. Fierce
fights between Jews and Christians, in
which four Christians and two Jews
were killed and many persons were
serieusly injured, are reported from
Gomela, in the province of Moghileff.
The disturbances arose Sept. 11, from
a dispute between a peasant and a
Jewish dealer. The police intervened,
and, according to the version pub
lished here, the Jews threw stones and
fired on the police, several of whom
were injured, flie disturbances were
renewed three days later, some Jew
ish booths being demolished. The
Jews attempted to prevent the de
struction of the booths, and twenty
persons were injured on both sides.
Troops then arrived on the scene and
were received with shots from the
Jews. The military returned the fire
and ultimately restored order.
"BAD MEN" CONVERTED.
Work of Salvation Army Invaders in
Kentucky.
Jackson, Ky., Sept. 19.The crack

Curtis Jett, the assassin of three men,
as the sweetest music he ever heard,
has given way in "bloody" Breathitt
county to the tambourine and the cor
net. Col. Holtz, the Cleveland Salva

of rough riders that are to start across
the mountains to-day held several
meetings yesterday and several recog

There Is Land
Still Left in
the Northwest
And the Northern Pacific has a and very Low Rate
for Colonists and Homeseekers in effect from September
15 to November 30, 1903.
This gives the Farmers a good chance to go homeseeking,
after crops are harvested, or any others who wish to move
into the growing, teeming, improving Northwest to visit
it at a trifling expense.
The finest valleys in the Northwest, good for grain, hay,
fruits, root crops, for mixed, stock or dairy farming, for
irrigation or not, as one.wishes, are found along the
Northern Pacific or its?branch or connecting lines. The
growing, thriving towns are |found there, too. It is a
great country.

Spreading Smallpox.
Morris, Minn., Sept. 19.Last Satur
day a thresher who had just come to
town came to the office of Dr. Amos
Leuty with his foot all bundled up to
see what was the matter with htm he
had been ordered to leave Willmar.
The doctor immediately recognized the
decided indications of smallpox and
told the man so then he said that
there were many such cases in Will
mar, but that they were calling them
chickenpox.
SAW EACH SHOOT A CHICKEN.
Vigltance of Game Warden Rewarded
by a Conviction.
Walker, Minn., Sept. 19. State
Game Warden Sam Fulierton. accom
panied by his deputy, Jeff Saunders,
brought James Francisco and San
Francisco of Motley before Justice of
the Peace B~. R. Sundberg at Walker.
The defendants were charged with a
violation of the game laws. Deputy
Saunders claimed that on Aug. 21.
near Motley, he saw each defendant
shoot a prairie chicken. When tlte
deputy suddenly jumped out of the
brush the defendants dropped the
birds and fled. James Francisco
pleaded guilty and paid his fine and
costs, amounting to $32.50. The case
against Sau Francisco was dismissed.
SERIOUS WRECK AVERTED.
Section Hand Finds Pile of Railroad
Iron on Tracks.
Willmar, Sept. 19What might have
been a serious wreckwa avoided by
the Sioux City & Willmar passenger
train due here at 3:50 o'clock yester
day morning. A section man walking
between Willmar and Priam found a
pile of railroad iron laid on the track.
He removed it and notified the rail
road officials, and they ordered No. 42
to slow up between Willmar and
Priam for fear a second obstruction
might be found, but nothing more was
discovered. It is thought that tramps
having some spite against the Great
Northern took this way to get even.
No clue has been found to the guilty
ones.
