FARM NOTES.
Hints and Facts That May Be of
Value to TilIers of the Soil.


Value to TilIers of the Soil.
A curious illustration of the treasures
of the soil, often overlooked for long
time. is the discovery of mineral wax in
Utah. 1t was discovered three years
ago on the line of the Denver & Rio
Grande railroad, covering an area of 100
cured. It looks like the wax that is
made by bees, and can he used for the
same purposes. 1t is mixed with para
fine in making candles, and is used in
the insulation of electric wires. 1t
needs no refining for ordinary uses.
The discovery is hint to our landown-
ers that their farms often contain riches
that are overlooked. The Pennsylvania
farmers worked the oil fields for gener-
iatiOns without dream of the wealth
'underfoot.
, A Visalia (Cal.) paper says a certain
tPoso creek farmer intended to start his
mowers in the alfalfa Tuesday, but
would have to take them out by next
Monday and begin in wheat and barley,
as he had 1000 acres of grain on irri-
gated land from waist to shoulder high
all of which would be cut for hay.
''Why should not the rudiments of
agriculture be taught in the common
school, in country districts. at least?
Many farmer has had to learn by slow
and dear experience what he should
have been taught when boy. This is
ia subject in which farmers are closely
interested, and their voices and influ-
ence should be heard and felt in regard
to it." Thus asks the Hartford Times.
ITO which we would respond-Even SO!
Why not?
ASBoston papcr produces savage ed
itorial against the practice of docking
the tails of horses, and the legislature
of Massachusetts has passed a law
against it. That some horses have
long, clumsy and ungainly tails, which
are troublesome to the groom and seem
cumbrous to the equine wearer, seems
true, but it is possible to trim and train
the tails of horses, with shears and cur
rycomb. so as not to distress the animal
nor main him. Good horsemen know
how.

MINNEAPOLIS.
ATTEND THE MEETINGS.

The board of trade meets this morn
ing to consider the proposition made by
Messrs. Anderson & Douglass. as rep
resentatives of Eastern capitalists. who
agree to build and operate several cable
lines in Minneapolis if the use of cer-
tain streets is granted. No exclusive
franchise is asked, and the parties will
assume the responsibility of establish
ing their legal rights if the council
grants the permission. There is also a
citizens meeting at Harmonic hall in the
evening to consider the same matter. 1t
is to be hoped that this proposition will
receive the attention it deserves. That
Minneapolis should have better street
car facilities goes without saying. and
here is an opportunity that should be at
least carefully investigated. The need
of competition is plainly apparent, and
any movement calculated to further the
consummation of that time-hOnored
maxim, Competition is the life OF
trade" should be encouraged.

A PIOUS HOPE.

Predictions were freely offered at
Thursday nights banquet that Charley
johnson and Tim ByrneS would go on
in an upward career in politics until
Charley wore the tOga of senator and
Tim sat in the private Office of the sec
retary of the treasury, sole monarch of
the keys. A piously inclined people
will pray that these predictions may not
prove false; that the two political kids
may not have the experience of the
gentleman who started out from Kala-
maZoo to visit Oshkosh in search of
work. He went down to the railroad
yards and there saw car marked in
broad chalk letters From Hackensack
to Oshkosh, Wisconsin; please return"
So he crept in, and at the end of four
days
HE rubbed his eyes in a sleepy way
And said so this is Oshkosh, eh!
But he was never more mistaken,
For the town was Hackensack;
The car had been to Oshkosh
And he took it coming back"
Let us hope Col. johnson and Maj.
Byrnes have not taken the political car
OH its return trip.

HOW DIFFERENT!
The Effect of a Little Threatened
COmDetitlOn.

A rather striking illustration of the
result of threatened competition in
street car service, and an indication Of
the benefit which might result to the
city if there should be actual
competition is furnished on Crys-
tai avenue between Twentieth and
Penn avenues. The citizens had pc
titioned for an extension of the street
railway to Penn avenue, to which the
company at first agreed, but afterwards
declined to grant. Thursday morning.
however, Workmen suddenly appeared
and began laying track quite
merrily, and the line is to
be finished through to Penn
avenue in four days. This sudden and
accommodating spirit of progression
on the part of the street railway COM
pany is attributed to the fact that An
derson & Douglass petitioned the coun-
cll for permission to lay cable line out
Penn avenue, from Plymouth to Thirty
fourth avenue north.

And as Many More on Indictments

The work of the grand jury yesterday
evening became manifest through the

There are two cases of special inter-
est. One of them is of the audaciOus

the famous wheat stealing case.
Harley and Holcomb, of the wheat
cases, have so far not been arraigned,
but will probably be, the first thing
this morning. There are four indict-
ments against Harley ana one against
Holcomb. 1t seems that the elevator
company is bound to convict Harley if
indictments will do it. Mason, the
foreman of the elevator, and supposed
brother in crime, who turned states
evidence, and Capt. Holmes, of the ele-
vator company, were the principal wit
nesseS before the grand jury.
The two bank robbers were the last
arraigned last evening. The two young
fellows are mere boys and have good
faces. They did not appear as criminal
even as they walked into the court
fastened together by handouts under
the charge of the officer. The young
name of John Henry said that his real
name was Frank Thornton. Fred
Douglas is his companion. They
were indicted under the charge
of robbery in the first degree for break
ing into the State Bank of Minneapolis.
They said their lawyer would arrive
Monday and asked time to plead. They
were indicted also for assault in the
first degree. TO this they pleaded not
guilty and the trial set for June 20.
There was separate charge against
Douglas for assault. To this he pleaded
guilty.
William McNaughton was indicted
upon the charge of grand larceny. being
charged with stealing goods from Frank
MERCER. He pleaded not guilty, and
will be tried Monday. Three boys. Bert
Evens, William Holly and Willie Pfeffer

1900 Third street south. Joseph Lynch
pleaded not guilty to breaking into the
dwelling at 6O6 Hennepin avenue.

the charge of grand larceny in the nrst
degree. 1t is claimed that he stole re-
volvers, cutlery, etc, from 21s Nicollet
avenue. Frank Dickinson pleaded not
guilty to burglary. George Dewey said he
was not guilty of stealing gold watch.
The young man paid a fine on an in
dictment at the last session of the grand
jury for horsestealing. Calvin Page, an
old man indicted for stealing valise
of clothes, pleaded not guilty. Frank
Milan pleaded rot guilty to the charge
of stealing clothing from the rear of 118

A new artificial silk has been prepared
from pure cellulose octonitrate having
great elasticity and softness. 1t is more

The Outlook.

Col. G. u. Rogers in the Market Rec
ord-Early drouth this season left lis
effects in the winter wheat states, and
accounts from there agree that the pos,
sible yield has been materially atfectea
by it. Early drouth in the spring wheat
section has in many places left its stamp
upon the field that no amount of rain
fall now can fully wipe out. Estimates
vary much, according to the temporary
interests of the respective estimators.
If the new crop should be no greater
than the previous one. as some think,
and the surplus carried over shoui1 De
smaller, as it is sure to be. there will De
less to work upon than at the beginning
Of the last crop season. Wheat is sell
ing for October delivery at Is cents now, v
October last year at s1.25, or SO cents
higher than the present contract price,
which seems like a pretty heavy dis
count on the chance OF there having
been an end to high prices, regardless
of crOD conditions.
