FROZEN WHEAT.-There is some ex-
element among the millers and elevator
men in Minneapolis on account of the
reported injury of the wheat crop by the
frost of September 80, which it is said
fairly froze to the berry and chilled the
life out Of the grain which had not then
been cut, and which it is estimated rep
resented one-third of the entire crop
A Minneapolis elevator man is reported
to have said yesterday:
For two days past Washburn, Crosby
& Co., besides several other mills, have
been experimenting with this wheat to see
what virtue there is in it, but nothing
satisfactory has come from it. Chem
lists are hard at work with it, and in the
course of day or so we expect to issue
instructions to cur agents at our eleva-
tors. AS it now stands we don't know
whether the stuff is worth so cents a
bushel or nothing. Yesterday afternoon
there was general meeting in our Of

to receive any more of the rejected arti-

for some distance in a sage bush. They
thought I was dead but wasn't. Chief
Justice White was thrown the same way,
but was not hurt as much as the papers
reported. On account Of the nervousness
of his wife, however, he gave up the rest
