THE MINNESOTA WHEAT RING
Startling Expose of their Methods o
Squeezing Farmers.

The famous investigation Of the elevator
and wheat ring systems Of Minneapolis was
resumed by the legislative committees Tues
day and some sensational testimony wa.
taken. The charge has been made for year;
that the ring At Minneapolis has been fixing
the price OF wheat in the state, and it was
charged before the committee that the rail,
road abetted the ring by refusing cars tc
small buyers.
General Barrett testified, and produced
contract to prove It, that a man named Stowe
at Wadena, had been given $50 TO pull Of
and buy no wheat in competition with the
Northern Elevator Company, and that the
manager of the company said the farmers Al
Wadena would have to pay for it.
A letter from Traffic Manager Shelby, OF
the Great Northern road, to the Union stost
Company at Morehead, threatening to cut of
their cars If they did not quit overbIdding ths
elevators for wheat, was shown. 1t was c1
planned that Shelby's clerk wrote the letter
but the effect was the same. General Barrett
proceeded to say that he could prove that
regular combine existed by which the miller,
and elevators controlled wheat prices ant
prevented the railroads from supplying can
TO any but members of the ring or those whc
paid the ring prices for wheat.

Sunday morning, DIR. Abbott, after services
that night, in his study read the criticism and
then made this reply TO IL:
What have said is that it Is on the cyi-

disinterested parties who were present At the
trial that believe that Meserolc's shooting
was not only eIcusable, but was by every con

THAT statement was based on the fact that
the undisputed evidence in the case showed
that woman was being beaten TO death be-

There has been good deal of trouble oil

serious last week when number of deputy

One OF them will die, As result the negroes

A dispatch from Memphis sent out early
Wednesday morning says:
A mob which it seems was quietly organ
lied, has just broken into the Shelby county
jail for the purpose of lynching the negroes
that were concerned In Saturday nights
trouble at the curve.
Several negroes were taken from the jail at
s;15 a. m. and hurried off by the mob, which
was not large, but whose work was done in a
quick and quiet manner. 1t is presumed the
negroes have been lynehed, but it IS not
known how many of them.
There were twenty-seyen in the jail charged
with assault with intent TO Kill for the am
bushing and shooting down Of four deputy
sherltfs who tried to arrest negro SATURDAY
night at the "Curye'' for minor offense.
The mob broke in the big doors and secured
Calvin McDonnell, Tom Moss and WIN Stuart
leaders OF the gang, and took them out and
quickly disappeared with them.
Later dispatches from Memphis state that
three negroes were taken from Jail by the noS
and that their bodies have been found hang

The Eject of a Kansas supreme Court
Decision.

The Kansas Supreme Court has handed an
opinion in,the ease of the state against George
Nolan. The case is Important because it
questions the law prescribing punishment for
all crimes, and had not the decision Of the
lower court been sustained, the Kansas peni-
tentiary would have been depOpulated
Edward Farris, negro of Atchison, was
convicted of arson His attorney appealed to
the Supreme Court, claiming that the failure
TO insert in the Kansas law the words 'in the
penitentiary'' after the words confined at hard
labor" was fatal omission.
Chief Justice Horton, in handing down the
decision, said the intention of the trainers Of
the law was apparent that the confinement
prescribed should be in the penitentiary, and
that sentences to that effect were not in viola
tion of the laws or constitution of the United
States. The case will now be appealed to the
United States Supreme Court.

ANY one who uses an atlas often ha

ANY one who uses an atlas often has
occasion to deplore the confusion in
the spelling of place names. Many
causes contribute to this lack of uni
formity. In the uncivilized parts OF
the world place names are at the
mercy of every traveller. Speke and
Stanley introduced US to Uganda but
every white man who has lived in the
country says the name is properly
Buganda- Such instances may be
multiplied by thousands. The great
est confusion has arisen from the fact
that travellers have used variety OF
systems of photography to represent
the sounds of place names. Each ma
tion, too, has spelled foreign geo.
graphic names in accordance with the
photographic rules of Its own language.
Indexed aliases are great conven-
ience; but the student is much per-
picked when he reads for instance. of
the important Russian city of Kief and
then looks for it vainly in his index.
where as in some OF the best German
aliases, the name appears as Kew. A
comparison of atlas indices clearly re-
veals the confusion of geographic
spellings and the need for reform
