one hundred and twenty acres. 1t is
worthy of special remark, that i'll Den
mark the agricultural population forms
the democracy, whilst the towns, con-
trary to what is the case usually, form
the conservative element in the nations
politics. The most remarkable feature
in the Danish husbandry is the fact,
that greater value is attached to the
produce of the dairy than to that of the
soil, and that much of the horse power
is withdrawn from the field and en-
plOyed in the work of the dairy.
THE ARMY.
The Danish army is based on con-
scriptiOn or On plan somewhat
resembling that of Prussia-Only the
term of service being shorter.
AS to its history. Denmark occupies a
far larger space in the annals of civilized
Europe than it does on the map. 1t has
glorious history, but here is not the
place to retrace the same.
in my next article on Denmark shall
tell Of the "Ellison trouble" which
might be interesting to the readers, as
it once played quite sensation i'll the
press of Minneapolis.
Mr.. Anderson has given me some in
teresting facts in the matter between
him and Ellison, which shall be of value
at least to the Exposition managers.

THEY DEALT IN GRAIN.
The Wheat Stealing That Has Been
Going on for Months Stopped
at Last.
Eight Boys, From Ten to Fifteen Years
of Age, and One Man, Under
Arrest.
1t Is Probable That Many More Ar
rests Will Follow, Involving
Railroad Men.

For a long time the mill and elevator
men of the city have been complaining
most bitterly that they were being
robbed of wheat in a systematic manner
by parties unknown to them. A car
might be left Oh the track full of wheat
at night and in the morning it was no
uncommon thing to find it from 500 to
1900 pounds short. The thieves COW
cred their tracks so nicely that there
was no clue left upon which to
work. A watch was kept, but
still the rObbing wen ON. Some
of the grain men combined
at last and, hiring private detective,
spent some $500 trying to discover who
the culprits were. This resulted in
nothing and the case was finally given
to the city inspectors. They at once
went to work on it and as result
and the probabilities are that
before Monday night there will
be as many more. The first clue that
was obtained was given by some small
boys who were seen carrying the wheat
to feed and grain store. The case was
carefully worked up. and yesterday In
SpectOrS Hoy and Fairburne arrested
Eddie Peterson, Charles Farvine, Charles
Lindgren, HOlton Hall, ,sRobert Tighe,
Willie Lovely and Emil Lind
StrOm, ranging i'll age from ten to
fifteen years, on charge Of stealing
wheat from the cars. When placed in
the central station the youngsters broke
down and confessed all. In telling their
ously implicated NJ. G. MunSon, who
ran feed store at 1920 Washington ave-
nue. south. According to the boys he
purchased from them all the wheat they
could procure at 80 cents per 100 pounds.
Some of the boys claimed that Munson
knew where the wheat came from, and
lent the boys his horse and sleigh to 90
and get it. They would drive down to
the elevators with the rig, hitch the
horse, and then with sacks go
and get the wheat and return
to the sleigh, where they deposited
the wheat. Munson was placed under
arrest at an early hour yesterday morn
ing, and was arraigned in the municipal
goods. Here he pleaded guilty and was
bound over to the grand jury under
bonds of S70O. Three of the
boys, Holton Hall, Robert Tighe
and Willie Lovely were arraigned
at the same time and sent to the
reform school. The others were
not arraigned yesterday, but will be
Monday morning, when it is expected
that several men will keep them COM
pany. Evidence has been secured
against several railroad employees,
among them switchman and Several
brakemen, and they will be arrested as
found. 1t was stated last
night that MunSon's partner in
business was implicated in the deal
and would be arrested, but this could
not be verified. This stealing has been
going on for several months, and it is
established that about three out OF
every five cars of wheat have been en-
tered and from 500 to 1900 pounds alb

INJURIOUS CIGARETTES.
Boards of Health Should Take
Measures Against the Smoking
of Them.

oI
While the war has ragged with varying
fortune over the question of tobacco
from the issuance of King James cOun-
terbIast to the present time, no defender
of the Indian weed has ever been found
who would venture to assert that it is
innoyious to youths and children. On
the contrary, all writers who have
studied the question agree that the
effect of tobacco, and especially of
cigarettes, is uniformly injurious to the
young, and that under no conceivable
conditions can it be harmless to them,
says the San Francisco Chronicle 1t
has been demonstrated that tobacco
checks the physical growth of children,
clouds their minds and impairs their in
tellects, and develops a kind of heart
trouble. which often results fatally. So
we'll is this known and understood that
candidates for admission to the United
States Military or Naval academy are
now examined with special reference to
disorders produced by cigarette smok-
ing, and a large proportion of those
who are rejected owe theil failure to
pass the physical examination to the
Injuries and functional disorders caused
by cigarettes.
1t is no uncommon thing nowadays to
see children. scarcely out of dresses,
putting at a cigarette with all the nom
chalance imaginable; and such cigar
cites, too, as they generally are. The
babies means are so limited that they
can buy nothing but the cheapest and
vileSt kinds of cigarettes, such as no
man, who knows anything about tObac-
co, would look at, much less smoke; and
with these indescribably nasty concoc-
tons these youngsters proceed to poison
themselves.

Discussed Potatoes,

There was very meager attendance
yesterday of the market gardeners in
Market hall, but it did not deter Wyman
Elliot from delivering an interesting
address on potatoes" Among other
entertaining items about that popular
article Of food, he said: The selection
of the best seed, or the rejection of the
poorest, has always been the best
method of improving crops. The first
requisite for growing crop of potatoes
is suitable soil, for all soils are not
adapted to potato growing. The ques-
tion of seed is of vital Importance to the
in the animal kingdom also applies to
the vegetable kingdom, that like begets
like. An informal discussion followed

THE QUARANTINE RAISED
At the Chicago House and the In
mates Set at Liberty.

If any one expected any particular
excitement yesterday afternoon at the
meeting of the board of health in refer
ence to the smallpox patient, he was
sorely disappointed, for, as Dr.. Kilvlng-
ton put it, everything passed off in as
happy and pleasant a manner as possi-
ble-the patient always excepted. The
daily report of the consulting physician
in reference to the quarantine was read
and the board decided that, the proper
time having elapsed, the quarantine
was raised. Each individual that was
caught had his clothes carefully fumi-
gated before being released, and it took
DR.. Gibson and DR.. WetZel all day from
s o'clock in the morning to complete the
job. Joy reigns completely over the
Chicago house from this out, but the
unfortunate tramp has once more
ceased to eat.

MUSIC HATH CHARMS.
A Brief Scientific Treatise, Not by
Sir John Lubbock

SIT OOHH

essay upon the effects of music on ami
mails. The writer shows how various
animals, and even insects, are Influenced
by the concord On. H. OF sweet sounds.
l have noticed the same thing myself,
but thought nothing particular about it
until l stumbled on the aforementioned
article.
We often see horses Influenced by
music. One of the most enjoyable and
Soul-thrilling runawayS that | ever eX-
perienced can be directly traced to the
influence of music Oh horse. 1t was
on Fourth of July, and was driving
by brass band, when l suddenly dis
covered that music had more influence
on horse than had. He reared on
his hind legs as though he had been
reared to go that way. Then he in
augerated an andante movement. and
you ought to have seen him ante down
the street. l tried in vain to restrain
his enthusiasm. | noticed, however,
that he didn't keep step. He didn't
keep anything harness, buggy, driver,
or anything else. He only kept on run
time that | ever saw him make before,
and had run him at the county fair.
| would have kept that horse to run
against time if he hadn't run against a
lamp post and ruined himself, says
Texas Siftings.
Horses are admirable musical per-
formers themselves sometimes. L have
known horse to go through the bars OF

Funeral of Little Jay Jerman.

Master l.. Jay Jerman, whose death
occurred by accident on the Hastings &
Dakota railroad last Thursday, was the
son and only child of DR.. and Mrs. w.
l.. Jerman, of this city. He was born
May 9, 1877, near Cincinnati, o., and
came with his parents to this city about
four years ago. He was child of more
than usual attractions, and was eSpe-
cially loved by his parents and teachers.
1t was his nature to be at the head in
whatever he did. He was in every way
bright and generous boy, and thought
full and conscious beyond his years. His

CLEANS THROUGH CLOUDS.

What is more dreary than the cold, bright sun
Strewn in sharp splashes Oh the cold, gray
deep?
When black storm-wings magnifcently
sweep
The shuddering waters, though their thunder
The timid ear, the veins heroic run,
Thrilled with a grandeur that long years
shall keep
In glorious memory; but here they creep
With dull memory as of earth begun
The sun burns icily and mocks the trust
His beams had kindled; through this mask
of lead
His smile is treason, and the bitter gust
Is not more chilling, as it crisps the dead
And gray-green oceans melancholy face,
Marring with livid blots its old titanic grace !!

Are Your EnyeIopes Printed?

Postmaster Ankeny says many people
have not heard of the recent act of con-
gress amending the law in relation to
miscellaneous printing on the envelopes
and wrappers Of third and fourth-class
mail matter; that said act removes the
restriction lately enforced by the post
Office department., and that now miscel-
laneous printing is allowed as was the
former custom, the only restriction
being that the sender must leave a sutfi-
cient blank space for the address.
