In its next issue the Northwestern Miller
will say:
1t might as well be understood at once that
if the Northwest is not deluged during the
harvest now in progress, the spring wheat
crop OF the Minneapolis belt will be q large
and fine one. A wonderful change for the
better has occurred in the past fortnight, and
everything now indicates that the damage
has been overestimated. From whole counties
from which previous reports had claimed al
most total destruction of the Crop reports
new come that the wheat has attained good
height, carries large and well filled heads.
and is about ready for the reaper The har-
vest is well under way in southern Minnesota
and Dakota. The most favorable reports of
the week come from the various lines of the
Omaha system, penetrating sections in which,
three weeks ago, it was declared that no
wheat would be harvested. Another fort
night will find in shock and bin one of the
best crops of spring wheat ever har-
vested, the size of which will not fall 20 per
cent. below the average yield In this section
Some or the winter wheat states will have
moderate crops but all will have a fine grade
OF wheat, so that the -four product from this
crop, the country over, promises to be as
good as the best, and better than the average
of former years. Appearances indicate an
early and rapid emptying of farm granaries
both OF old and new wheat, and this naturally
means low prices for some time to come.
There must come an increased and urgent
demand from abroad, to justify higher values.
Flour must advance and grow firmer before
wheat can be bulled with success. 1t has
been demonstrated that a handful of Aneri-

PEppERED 8Y TIE POLICE.
A Tea mister Mistaken for a 8urgEal
and Shot in the Hand

and Shot IN the Hand.
Yesterday morning about o'clock, as
A. G. Taylor, a driver for the Boston Ice
company, was going from his home, 1926
Hennepin avenue, to the company's stables,
he was somewhat startled TO hear a voice
commanding him to halt AS there had
been one or two burglaries in that neigh
borhood recently, he became frightened.
supposed it was a thug and started to run.
A few minutes later pistol bullet struck
him in the hand. Dr.. William Russell,
Jay Russell and E. i. Rocks now appeared
upon the scene, and on being ordered to
halt started off on a run. They ended up
IN shed and then found that their pur
suers were Officers Blake and Vogel, of the
mounted force. Each party had mistaken
the other for burglars, hence the shooting
by the officers. Several rObberies have
taken place in that locality of late and
Sergeant Coffin had detailed these two Off
GERS to watch, as some suspicious characters
had been seen around early in the evening.
and Mr.. Taylor did not halt when called
upon to do so, the officers gave chase and
fired four or five shots, one of which struck
MI TayloIsin the hand. Another built
whiZZed by Jay Russell's ear and he says it
went faster than any motor he ever rode
on. The wound in Mr.. Taylors hand was
dressed by Dr.. Russell, and eally in the
forenoon Mr. Rocks filed complaint with
Col. Chase, chief of police, who will fully
investigate the matter. The officers claim
that they were in the right, and would not
have shot had the men halted as they
should have done.

Ventilating company, next delivered him
self of an energetic harangue, in which he
sought to convey the idea that the HaXtun
system did not amount to much. Editor
Kline of the Northwestern Architect
jumped up at this point and said that as a
citizen he must earnestly protest against
what is being done at the high school build
ing, where the HaXtun system is being in
troduced. There used to be some method
OF letting in the air at the bottom OF the
radiators which gave it some chance to get
warmed. Now the air is being introduced
at the top, and the effect will be to either
force the children to sit in cold draughts or
go without proper ventilation. He had
been teacher and principal in the high
school and knew something OF the difficult
ties of securing good ventilation. While
it might cost considerable to introduce a
good system of ventilation he thought it
should be done or the school should be
closed. The board, after listening for over
an hour to these remarks, finally added
Mayor Hale and A. T. Ankeny to the
building committee for the purpose of eX-
aiming into ventilating systems and then
adjourned to meet again next Wednesday.

SLIGHTLY INDIsCREET.
Paid s46.s9 for Stealing the Affec-
tons of Another Mans Wife.

A judgment was yesterday filed against
Charles Anderson in favor of Hans Waller
for the sum of S46.S9. The case is some
what peculiar one and was tried last win
ter, when the full particulars were pub
lished. Mr.. and Mrs. Waller resided at
9o5 Thirteenth avenue south, where Mr..
Anderson began visiting them in neigh
borly manner. After time his visits be-
came rather too frequent to suit Mr..
Waller, who on returning home from work
July Is, 1885, found Mr.. Anderson and
Mrs. Waller in decidedly compromising
position. He drove Mr.. Anderson from
the house and supposed that this would end
the matter. But once again was he des-
tined to find his wife untrue to him. and
this time he sued Mr.. Anderson and secured
S25. Mr.. Waller denied each charge spe-
cited in the complaint.

PLANS FOR THE CAMPAIGN.
Eora, Political Gossin.

II see the papers keep trying to make me a
candidate for reelection as county auditor -
said Frank Mcdonald yesterday 'sThey
know am not for l have repeatedly said so,
but then its all done for a purpose. It's done
to ipjure me for the state authorship. Who
do l think ought to be county auditor? Why
Condit of course. He's been in the office for
eight years past and knows all about it, This
talk of new man trying to run it is all bosh. -
1t was the general opinion in Minneapolis
that the last legislative delegation from Hen
nepin county was not particularly efficient,
especially where the citys interests were al
stake, and it is safe to say none Of them will
be returned.
The Pioneer Press is away off, as usual, in
its statement aud editorial confederation that
each county will have delegate at large in
the Republican district convention. The
motion to that effect received but one vote
Col. Henry G. Hicks. the ruin and desola-
ton orator Of the municipal campaign, is
credited with a desire to become speaker of
the house. But Col. Henry wears the badge
of the Union league and that dooms him.
1t need not be supposed that Col. H. l.. Gor-
don can keep his Italian hand out of politics.
He is too old a war horse to lnger at home
when fighting is at hand.
Several Republican papers affect to be in
ignorance whether Loren Fletcher is candi-
date for congress. This would indicate Loren
hasn't ''seen" them yet.
DR.. John T. Lee, meat inspector, will enter
the field as candidate for the office OF coro-
ner. Mr.. Lee has many friends who will give
him strong support.
The Journal is nominating and electing
Republicans to the county Offices with the
same facility it did in the spring campaign
Alas! for its friends.
A 7. Ankeny-We must make fight on
tariff reform this fall. 1t is the great living
political issue. Duties must be more evenly
imposed.
The story in relation to Matt Walsh being
given place on the Republican county
ticket is generally discredited.
D. NJ. Clough wants to go to the legislature
He is such a bowling success as an alderman
he should be given trial.
With the Republican powers at Washington
in favor of Gilfillan, perhaps Fletcher may
yet lose his advantage.

ing last night. That 'slate'' was not ripe
enough to be picked.

VENTILATION.
The School Board Receives Advice
LIr,n1r rErsls Szah5act


The meeting of the school board yesterday
sfmmered down to a debate between repre-
sentatives of steamheating and ventilating
companies. The building committee had
nothing to report further than that it had en-
gagged Rufus Cook as a sanitary expert. The
sum Of 81, 800 was voted for the current ex-
penSeS of the committee. A proposition was
received from disnfectant company, which
had probably heard of the odoriferous con-
dition of the board, and offered to supply a
deodoriZing substance in barrel lots. A long
communication from w. E. Haxtun, Of the
HaXton Steam Heating company, was read. in
which he took occasion to refute some OF the
charges recently made against his system OF
ventilation by the ''open-letter'' peo-
pie. He explained that his system
had given satisfaction in the Clay and Gar
field buildings until the schools had been
over crowded, closets placed in the base
ments, and the teachers had seen fit to dis
regard instructions by opening and shutting
windows: He quoted from the works of
W. j. Baldwin, Dr. Billings and Lewis w.
Leeds to show that ventilation by direct
radiation is much more valuable than by
the use of fans and other mechanical appli-
anceS. As long as ventilation can be
secured by natural means it would be
WORSE THAN USELESS
to employ artificial methods. 1t would be
like the man, he said, who asked if he was
going in the right direction to reach Bos-
ton and was told that if he kept right on he
would reach it after going "a, $50 miles, but
that it was only ten miles distant in the OPP
posite direction. The balance OF his letter
was taken up with recommendations from
different parties who have used the HaX-
tun system and indorse it highly.
A young man named Barrett, employed
as an expert by the Exhaust Ventilating
company of Chicago, proceeded to dissect
Mr.. HaXtun's letter. which he said was
made OF garbled extracts from authorities
and misrepresentation. The public schools
of Chicago, he claimed, had gone from the
Old-fashioned fan ventilation back to the
natural system, and had finally been obliged
to again adopt the fan system, which has
been greatly changed and improved by
modern appliances and discoveries. There
was no difference between authorities he
said, as TO the amount of fresh air required
by each pupil in public school room, which
is generally placed at from 1000 to 8. 900
cubic feet per hour. This amount of fresh
air can only be furnished by mechanical ap-
pIiances such as manufactured by his com
pany. No natural system such as repre-
sented by Mr.. HaXtun could do it
