THE WHEAT RING AGAIN.

The Minneapolis wheat ring will
probably come out of its two years
slumber and enjoy once more a promi-
nent part in the coming compaign. II
there is one thing of paramount interest
to the farmer of Minnesota, next to tax
reduction. it is perfection in the grain
and warehouse laws of the state. Any
thing but perfection is to be found
there now. 1t may be all right
for the wheat ring to shield the
welghers and inspectors. but the farm
ers Will not be hoodwinked. They
want a system by which shortages Will
be impossible, and a law under which
they will get out of the elevators as
much wheat and of as good grade as
they put in. The revelations of the
past few days are not encouraging, and
the deep mystery and secrecy do not
help matters out. OF course, the ring
would like to keep this affair out Of
politics. 1t had the same desire two
years ago, but the farmers took differ
emf view

AN AsPHALTUM EXPLOSION.
Ira A. Nash Badly Injured and a
Store Damaged

Just before noon yesterday people in
the vicinity of the corner of Hennepin
avenue and Third street, were startled
by loud explosion, which came from
the basement of Sykes q Co.'s plumb
ing establishment, at 256 Hennepin
avenue. A second later a heavy black
smoke came pouring up from the win
doWs and doorway. An alarm was
turned III, ond the fire department was
soon at the place. The flames. which
were caused by the explosion of an oil
asphaltum, were quickly subdued. with
a loss of not over $50 to the building.
Ira A. Nash, one Of the men employed
in the establishment, had gone into the
basement few minutes before with
lighted candle, and it is supposed that
III some way the asphaltum be-
come ignited from the candle
When the explosion took place, Nash was
standing near the barrel. A flying Stave
struck him in the face and cut terrible
cash just over the eyes, while the burn
ing fluid went all over him, setting fire
to his clothing and burning his face and
hands severely. He was rescued by
Patrolmen Harmon and Novack and
taken to doctors Office. His face is in
terrible shape, and he Will probably
lose the sight of his left eve.

MINNEAPOLIS.
GO To WORK.

1t is about time the Democracy of
Hennepin county quit its civil warfare
and turned its guns upon the common
enemy. After so much fighting among
themselves, the chieftains of the party
should be in fine form and practice to
fight the Republican party. No harm
has been done by the past pickering.
The lotus is still there, and should be
made the emblem of victory. But the
time for the state campaign work has
begun, and there is not enough
left TO squander any in useless
squabbles. If the Republicans can find
any consolation in the fight, let them
enjoy it. All of their enjoyment will
be of an ante-electiOn character and no
one should curtail it. But while they
are laughing, let the Democracy be up
and working. The city is Democratic
and the country district will increase
the majority. Gov. Wilson and Con-
gresham Rice expect round majority
III Hennepin and the Democracy should
see they get it.

BRIDGET THE TRACKS.

1t is due that large section of the city
lying north of Hennepin avenue, that
no time be lostin promptly and properly
bridging therailway tracks on Fourth av-
nue. north. About three years have been
consumed in fighting the matter through
the courts, but the city has now won a
complete victory, and the people should
enjoy the fruits as soon as possible. The
menace life on Fourth avenue should
not exist a day longer than necessary.
Every fair-minded man believes in
liberal policy toward railroads, but
Minneapolis has gone to the other eX-
tremc. and must take the back track.
The day when a track can cross pop
ular street at grade is at an eud. Bridge
the tracks at Fourth avenue and lower
the Hastings q Dakota tracks.

The Scandinavian Paintings.

In the Scandinavian room are num-
Der of fine paintings by prominent
artists. No. 100, Rising Flood" by l..
Schjelderup, deserves special mention.
1t is charmingly realistic, and is fin
ished with softness and delicacy OF
color that is highly commendable. No.
50, after a Snow Storm" by Halmbor,
shows the work of master hand. The
cold, bleak hills in the background
tend to make the picture more realistic,
and the observer is apt to feel cold by
merely studying the painting. The
price of the canvas is listed at $3.50.
One of the finest and most attractive
paintings is No. 1.039, by c. F. Aagaard.
The sunlight breaking through the
clouds is unusually fine, as is also the
low. marshy land in the foreground.
The scene represented is one lying be-
tween Sweden and Denmark. The
ocean lies off to the right, and the soil
tary figure in the foreground reminds
one of Longfellow's lines in his poem,
''TIIE BRIDGE"
''And wish that the ebbing tide
Would bear me away on its bosom
To the ocean. wild and WIDE

Merchants to the Tune OF Some
5000.
5. Z. Horton, young man who has
for some time past been working for
the Vining Cab company, with an office
at the American District telegraph
headquarters, is missing. and many of
the business firms around the city
mourn his departure. If all reports are
true he had worked a very shrewd bit
of ''financering," which equals in pure
nerve some of the cases which Minneap-
oils has been treated to of late. Satur-
day morning Horton went to one or
two of the leading business houses,
made small purchases, and gave in pay
ment checks on the Nicollet National
bank. These he tore from check
book he carried, and they were found
to be good when presented at the bank
for payment. Early Monday morning
Horton started out, and visited some
fifteen or twenty stores. At each store
he made an extensive purchase, order
Ing the goods sent to his room, where
he gave in payment checks on the Mic
ollet bank. He had no difficulty in
getting what goods he wanted, and
when he had given checks amounting
to nearly 5000, he disappeared. When
the checks were presented at the bank
for payment, they were returned with
the words, mo funds" writted across
them. The parties interested made an
examination and found that Horton
had in the first place made a de-
posit of a few dollars, enough to
get checkbook at the bank. This
amount was exhausted on Saturday, how
ever. when he gave out checks enough
to use it all up. Among those who took
Horizons checks are Segelbaum Bros,
S25; GOOdfellow q Co., SCI; S. E. Olson
q Co., 1913; Donaldson 81 Co., $40; VOL
let, the trunk man, s.; Wheeler q Will
son Sewing Machine company, SOS; Big
Boston Clothing house, $40; a type
writer house, 1925. 1t is probable that
there are other firms to hear from.
Tuesday morning Horton left his board
ing place, at 20 Fifth street south, TAX
ing with him the goods, all packed up.
Where he has gone no one knows. The
case was placed in the hands of In
spector Lawrence yesterday, and a
warrant sworn out for Horizons arrest.

THE MONEY NOT RAISED.
Matters Pertaining to the West
Side Street Railway COmnanY

Side Street Railway Company.
To calm, cool and collected observer
it looks very much as though the Min
neapolis West Side Street Railway COM
pany was a thing of the past. AS stated
yesterday morning, Randolph Burgess,
the president, and John 7. Byrnes, the
secretary and attorney combined, have
made a great hustle to raise the $4,000
to be deposited with the city treasurer,
in consideration of the time in which to
complete the road being extended six
months, but they have not been so sue
ceSSful as they wished. Up to last even
ing the money had not been deposited
with the city treasurer, and there did
not appear to be any hope that it would
be. The indications are now that the
franchise will be declared forfeited at
the next meeting of the council. To-day
and Monday yet remain in which to
raise the money, but the hope of doing
so has been practically given UP by the
gentlemen interested. A GLOBE repre-
sentative called at the Office of Mr.. Bur
CESS yesterday afternoon, and there
found Attorney ByrneS looking "real
Worried" In fact, he was not as pleas
ant as he sometimes is.
D"Is there anything new in the street
railway buSiness?" was the question
asked him.
sit is none of the GLOBES business
whether there is or not" was the pleas
ant reply. I'VE are not asking or grant
ing any favors now, and if we were [
could not afford to be accommodating to
the GLOBE"
But
''That's all right-you get nothing"
"Can you afford to be accommodating
to the Tribuue?" asked a reporter of
that paper.
Not this morning, sir. Fire away,
bob of you"
This closed the interview, and Mr..
Byrnes stalked majeStically back into
the private Office. his head was high in
the air and a hectic flush crimsoned his
cheeks.
Mr.. Burgess, when asked about the
condition of affairs, said:
1.-THE time is very short. l have been
pledged 5000 of the amount, but have
no idea where the other like amount
can be raised. However, will not give
the fight up until l am knocked out,
and it is more than possible that / can
get an extension of thirty days longer"

AN EX-POLICEMAN FINED.
Henry Ward Pays $50 for Smash.
ing James Sergeant. 500

Henry Ward, the eX-patrolman, and
for a long time night Waterman at the
Nicollet house, was arraigned in the
police court, yesterday afternoon, on a
charge of assault and battery, preferred

the Diamond mill. Ward is also en-
ployed at the mill, and on the night of
Sept. 10, the two men became engaged

Sergeant in the head several times,
cutting it quite badly. Sargeant's head
was wrapped up in a white cloth, and
he wore broke up appearance gener-
ally. Ward was found guilty and sem
