J. J. Nierling yesterday began cutting wheat on bis farm just west of the city. Tbe grain is apparently quite green yet, but tbe ruet seems to have affected it BO that unless tbe binders are eet, to work at, once it will break down and large centage be lost. Mr.

Nierling says an exactly similar condition prevailed in Ohio in the early dave when they used to raise spring wheat there. The only way to save tbe grain was to cut it when quite green and trust to tbe sap in the stalks to mature the berry. Farmers wbo complain their fields are ripening very slowly, it is said, will find upon amination that tbe grain is breaking down, owing to tbe straw being ened by fust, and harvesters must be set to work to save tbe crop. Merit Hi intrinsic value of I £6 I If Hood's Sarsaparilla. 8 Merit in medicine means the power to cure.

Hood's Sarsaparilla possesses actual and unequalled curative power and fore It has true merit. When you buy Hood's Sarsaparilla, and take it according to directions, to purify your blood, or cure any of the many blood diseases, you are morally certain to receive benefit. The power to cure is there. You are not trying an experiment. It will make your blood pure, rich and nourishing, and thus drive out the germs of disease, strengthen the nerves and build up the wholesystem.

Hood's Sarsaparilla Is the best, in One True Blood Purifier. Prepared only by C. 1. Hood Lowell, Mass. Hood's Pills NINETY-SIX GENTS Duluth Wheat Comes Within Four Cents of the Dollar Mark.

Police Drive a Hundred Tramps and Idlers From the City. Duluth wheat closed Wednesday witbin four oents of the dollar mark. It opened at 90c and went np steadily and rapidly dunng tbe day oloeing at 2 o'olook at 96 oents. September 89c. This makea tbe local prioe for wheat 81o, a corresponding advance of aix oents from this morning's market prioe of 75o.

Cash flax closed in Duluth at 81.08. Drove Tramps Out. The polioe rounded up about a hundren idle men and tramps Tuesday and drove tbem out of the oity to tbe west. They have been camping in "pot gangs" in tbe timber west of the river and ing themselvee a nuisance about tbe city. On the departure of tbe bix o'clock train Tuesday swarmed on it just though it was run from this station for their particular benefit.

Two secured positions on the roof of the Inst car and as the train left the yards waved their hats to their coiarades who had be fen expelled from the steps. Conductor Hunter says tramps gregated in large numbers in LaMoure recently and gave out that they wanted work. A farmer told the marshall be wanted three men and together they went to tbe stock yards where the men were. When informed that a chance to work awaited three, one insultinglyasked what kind of farmer set op, and told tbe farmer to bring in bis farm tbe next day and if they liked it they might go to work for bim. The marshall promptly rounded up the gang and drove them from the plaoe.

No hoboes need apply there. The Northern Pacific has made a 85 rate from the Twin Cities to the harvest fields of this state and are reaping a harvest in this class of business. When winter oomes, if the men do not beat their way back in grain oars, tbe road will seoure a $10 or 312 fare from each. To Be Early With the Birds.

The open season for game birds begins day, August 20, and for the benelit of the many sportsmen and hunters a brief synopsis of the most essential parts of the new law is made.

There are many changes made, tbe principul being that a license to bunt is necessary except upon one's own land and then only without a dog. Upon all other occasions and under all other ciroumstanoes a permit is necessary. Tne paragraph relating to permits ib, in full, as follows: 1613.

Permits to hunt under the provisions of the state game laws from Aug. 20 to and including Deo.

15, are issued by tbe county auditor. Non residents are quired to pay $25 and residents 75 cents each, for the permits which authorize tbe bolder to bunt throughout the state either with or without dogs.

A violation of any portion of the above mentioned game laws is considered a misdemeanor and upon conviction is punishable by fines of $10 for each of the birds so killed, or nests of eggs of the same destroyed, and 8100 for every animal mentioned killed.

A $100 flue is also provided for every one convicted of running down any of the game animals mentioned with dogs or hounds, wbo set any spring or other gun, trap, snare or other device to kill any of tbe said animals or kills more tban 25 birds or five animals in any one day. In Stutsman county 36 resident licenses have been taken out up to dale no foreign permits. Those from the city who have secured their permits to bunt are: Dr A Rankin, Blewett, Porter, A Carnegan, A McLam, Oscar Russell, Geo Strong, ald, A Petty, Max Rusch, Graves, Hodge, Cadieux, Seiler, Spuling, Alex Gillfillan, Daily, Fletcher, Procter, Hallifax, Thos Scelen.

W. Ford of Eldndge deputy for the western part. Mr. son says the law iu regard to violators is stringent, and he will not hesitate to bring proceedings against transgressors of its provisions. A warrant of arrest is not necessary acd right of search is also given.

Al-LEliED EVASIONS OF THE LAW. According to the Minneapolis Journal there has been shooting in the state for two weeks and it predicts that several specially protected twin city gunners sre ow getting the cream ot' the shooting. It appears to be a fact that the only thing necessary to the sportmen who desires Dakota birds is an ing with one or another of the wardens, says the Journal. Many of these are also guides, and some sportsmen in Minneapolis have received letters what ambiguous in the wording, but evidently meaning that tbe recipient may, if be chooses to do tbe "right thing," evade the $25 tax imposed by North Dakota on alien gunners, and take bis birds home with birn in tbe bargain, the condition of course being that be shall make himself very agreeable to the individual acting as guide. munications of the sort referred to are put in very guarded language, but the average man who owns a gun and wanta sport doesn't need a brick bouse to fall on bim before he tumbles.

For more than a hundred years tbe Shakers have been studying tbe al properties of plants. They have made discoveries, but their greatest aobievment was made last year. It is a cordial that contains already digested food and is a digester of food. It is effective iu removing distress after eating, and creates an appetite for more food so that eating becomes a pleasure. Pale, thin people become plump and healthy under its use.

It arrests the wasting of consumption. There never has been such a step ward in the cure of indigestion as this Shaker Cordial. Your druggist will be glad to give you a little book desoriptive of the product. Give the babies Laxol, whioh is Castor Oil made as palatable as honey. CHASTLY FIND Body of Unknown Man bly Mangled Found at Eekelson.
