HALF CROP.

Seems About All To Be Expected From North Dakota. Bismark, N. D„ July 6.—Commissioner of Agriculture Gilbreath has issued the following crop report for the week ending July 6. Reports from 33 counties are distinctly less favorable than a week ago. The prospects for even half a crop of wheat throughout the state appears to be more remote than ever, and only the most favorable conditions from this date to harvest will insure that percentage in the more fortunate counties. Thousands of acres of wheat are being plowed under, mostly in the heavy wheat-producing counties, and are either being seeded to some forage crop or prepared for next season. These conditions apply generally to all small grains, with exception of- flax, which may give a fair yield under favorable conditions.

KILLED IN A RUNAWAY.

Wife of Prominent Farmer Loses Life in Accident Near Romney. Lafayette, Ind., July s.—Mrs. Martha E. Davis, age forty-five, the wife f John Davis, a prominent farmer of this county, was killed by being thrown from a buggy this morning a mile and a half southwest of Romney. Mrs. Davis was driving with hci husband and son when an automobile driven by Dr. J. H. Mitchell, of Romney, caused her horse to become frightened. The animal jumped forward, overturning the buggy and throwing out all of the occupants. Mrs. Davis landed on her head and a rock in the road fractured her skull. Dr. Mitchell took the injured woman to Romney, where he attended her, but she died two hours later witho.ut regaining consciousness. Mrs. Davis was a prominent church worker and a member of a well-known family. The husband and son were uninjured.

SUICIDE AT MONON.

Charles Mcßee Thought to Have Thrown, Himself Under a / Switch Engine. Chas. Mcßee of Monon, aged 59, was found dead on the railroad track there about 3 o’clock Sunday’ morning. Coroner Clayton’s verdict filed Tuesday attributes his death to suicide while in a demented condition. Mr. Mcßee had never entirely recovered from an attack of grip which he suffered last winter, and he sometimes complained of’ •a pain in his head but had neve r shown any suicidal tendency, and some of his friends still think his death was accidental. He had sometimes gone to the railroad track in the night to meet his son-in-law, who was an engineer oh a freight train, and it is ithought possible he might have been on that errand at this time. He had arisen about 2:30 a. m.'. and dressed, saying he was going to the water closet. His wife, becoming uneasy about his absence. went in search of him. ana not finding him on the premises she aroused her son Allen, who [joined in the search. The body was found by Ed Birdsall., con--1 ductor of train 91, about half way between O’Mara’s switch and the ; Byers crossing, both feet, the left arm and head severed. Birdsall picked up the head from inside r the rails and laid it beside the body on the outside of the track. The only witnesses at the inquest I were Mrs. Susan Mcßee, the widow, her son Allen and Conductor Birdsall. It is supposed that the killing was done by* a switch engine, as blood was found on the wheels, though none of the crew were aware of the accident. , Mr. Mcßee was an old resident of Monon and had been entgaged in farming. He also owned a well drilling outfit which he

employed a man to operate. He was* a brother of Mrs. John Day of this city. His funeral Monday afternoon was largely attended.—'Monticello Herald.

FIELD EXAMINERS’ DATA.

George H. pittier Will Prepare Them for Purpose of Prosecution. George H. Bittier, one of the deputies to Chief Examiner W. A. Dehority, of the state board of accounts, has been assigned the task of preparing, for turning over to the proper prosecuting officials, data collected by the field examiners of the state board in the examination of township and city records thus far completed. The data thus prepared will be filed with the Governor, and will be at the disposal of local officials, whose duty it is, under the law, to bring action for recovery of money found owing, as well as to prosecute for criminal liability where the facts warrant. Several weeks will be required to complete this phase of the board’s work. The chief examiner is preparing affairs in the office to begin a general examination of the city and county offices of the state, which will probably be well under way by a month from now. The original number of examiners, which has dwindled from one hundred to about fifty, is to be recruited from applicants recently examined by the board concerning peculiar "qualifications. Charles Newlin, Of Richmond, and A, E. Johnson, of Liberty, have been appointed thus far from the late applicants. Daniel I’a'hu, connected with the Kamehameha school, Honolulu, has written to the board asking for a copy of, the law under which rhe board operates. — Indianapolis News.

SOME QUERIES AS TO FARMERS MUTUAL INSURANCE.

We have been asked by many farmers why it ia the Farmers Mutual has no active agents out seeking new business as have the commercial companies. We will answer these inquiries by saying we are not in the field for profits, but to furnish protection against fire and lightning to our members at actual cost. AU the expense to you is a membership fee of ten cents per |IOO for face of policy and a survey fee of 12.00, “|1.75 of which goes to the solicitor who takes your application, and 25 cents to the secretary of issuing the policy. Note our solicitor gets >1.75 for hl< services Instead of 80 per cent of first premium or 15 per cent of the whole amount of a fully paid up policy, as do the. agents of old line companies. The membership feet entitle the member to full protection until the first annual assessment which he win pay in full, or if part of the year, his pro-rata or same. That is why the interest on the money you pay out for old line will so nearly pay your assessments in the Mutual. If you wish to leave the Mutual no hardship Is put upon you, just pay up your pro-rata of losses then accrued, or fail to pay your annual assessment. We do not put, you on our books for the full five years of policy written so bard and fast that if you wish to w'lthdray you aye hqjd up for 60 to 75 cents per >IOO for a release as so many farmers tell u» the commercial companies do. Their former rates? Remember all that your Insurance costs you above 25 cents per >IOO a year is a< donation pure and simple to somebody, which is very generous of you, but very poor business. Now as to our conservatism in not writing your policy for full value of property: You are not apt to be near so careless if you carry a part of your own risk. Besides the chance for a serious loss is about one out of 300, so you see why the actual cost of farm insurance Is so lot. Now we are not ip the business for profits, but just to be a neighbor to you. We guarantee you as safe, as fair, and the cheapest farm rn.-urance furnished by any company, domestic or foreign. We have on our booka’over |2,OWkOOO of as good insurance as was ever written by any company and new business constantly coming our way. For any further facts write or telephone to w. i. McCollough, President, Fowler, or F. E. FISHER, Secretary, Remington.
