why PORK Is 90 DEAR.

ssCnclo jerry Rusk Declares Hio In.
speetion Forced Up Prices.
Ex-Secretary Rusk. of the department Of
agriculture, says that farmers in all parts
OF the country are inquiring a. to the
probable profit Of feeding corn to hogs at
present prices. He desires to state that
the prospect large returns from judicious
hog-feeding has seldom been as bright -
now. In average years it takes about
nine pounds of hogs, live weight, to bring
the price of . bushel of corn. This year
fve pounds of hogs bring as much - .
bushel Of corn. If ten pounds of pork are
made from . bushel of corn, which may
Be taken a fair return, then the present
prices OF hogs would make corn bring
about IS cents bushel If fed to these ami
mails, which Is about twice a. much % it
II now quoted at on the Chicago market.
Instead of sending pigs and habitat hogs
TO market, as thousands have done, only to
nnd that such animals were unit for pack
ing AID would bring but . comparatively
small price. these animals should be kept
on the farm and fattened on the corn which
II now so cheap in comparison with pres
ent prices of pork. The high price of hogs
IL largely due to the meat inspection carried
on BY the department ofagriculture, which
opened the markets of Europe and enabled
out Of the country. Following this
came . shortage in the hog crop. The
number of hogs packed this winter il not
only less than il has been previously, but
the hogs were lighter in weight, 20 that
there has been q much smaller quantity
Of hog products prepared. When the adj
vance in price came the farmers sold their
breeding stock, which cannot be replaced
for at least two years. He therefore
thinks it 10 perfectly safe to feed hogs un-
der present conditions until they are fully
matured, a. the shortage of hog products
and the unrestricted foreign markets for
inspected meats offer tho best possible
guaranty for good prices.

AFTER CADETSHIPS.
Twenty-Five Young Athletes Who
Are Anxious to Serve Their
Country as Soldiers.
Their Examinations Completed,
and the Result Will Be Known
in a Week.

Twenty-Five athletic and intelligent
looking young men occupied the desks
in the council chamber yesterday after
noon. The occasion was the cOmpeti-
tive examination of candidates for ad
mission to West Point. The board of
examiners comprised DR.. Park Ritchie,
M. d. Mum and George Thompson.
The candidates were fist taken
in hand by DR.. Ritchie and eX-
anined as to their physical con-
ditiou. When the doctor had concluded
his part of the examination twenty-five
of the applicants were pronounced all
right, only two of the entire number
being disqualified, physically. DR.. Rit-
chic said, after all had been examined,
that he had never seen such fine lot of
young men together at one time before.
The remainder of the examination con-
sisted OF ten questions in grammar,
geography, history and arithmetic. The
result of the examination will not be
known for a week or so. and as only one
will be selected from the number. con-
siderable interest is manifested in the
result. The names of the gentlemen
who participated were:
Eugene NJ. Day, Lewis ]. Sullivan,
George T. Bisbee. Oliver Ames, Floyd
Burns, Scott Lintincr, George n. Nc
Cam, Roy Brooks, Alpheus Burns,

A TINY MUSICIAN.
Little Miss Schaller Shows Her
CIeverness in Handling the
Violin.
Vocal Solos and Instrumental
Music Complete a Pleasing
Musicale.

Genius isn't necessarily grown-up
attribute, as Miss Josie Schaller demon
strated last evening at Music hall. Das
kleine maedchen is only eleven years
old, but she handles full-sized violin
with the skill of a mature artistic. Her
position is especially pleasing, easy and
graceful. and the bowing is clear and
firm. Only the first selection showed
nervousness; the seventh Air Varie of
De Beriot was played with nicely of
technique which would be delightful
in any PLAYER. The suall hand
performs the changes in position
with wonderful accuracy. The trills
and some double string work were very
good. Miss Schaller has improved
rapidly in technique during the last
winter. Ghere was little that was
amateurish in the performance OF last
evening. And not only in mechanical
skill, but her expression is good, sur
prisingly so in one so young. All her
attention is given to the music; she is
naively unconscious of her audience.
The two together. technical skill and
musicianly interpretation, such as
Miss Sehaller can certainly develop
from these promising beginnings, are
the stuff geniuseS are made of. Her
friends may well be sanguine of her
future.
Miss Maud Ulmer gave two delightful
vocal solos. The first cluster. "Your
Presence" Weber, and Loves Magic"
j. Lewis Brown, and Good Night, Be-
loved" Nevin. Her clear soprano voice
is gaining steadily in breadth and ex-
preston. There is peculiar ring about
the high notes, which makes it very in
dividual, and aids materially in the car
rying power.
Miss Edith Tozer interpreted in an
earnest manner ballade of Reinecke.
She was also the piano accOmpaniSt Of
the evening, and performed the task in
very creditable manner.
Mrs. Carrie Millward is fast gaining
for herself an admirable reputation as a
cornetist. One forbears to add the
feminine Q, for there is nothing woman
| ish about her playing. She produces
| the full tones of man, there is the
same strength and firmnesS, and the
| adorniDg grace notes are somewhat more
daintiiy rendered.
Prof. Muehlenbruch's string orchestra
completed the numbers of the pro-
gramme. They were lacking in finish,
and played largely as an accompani-
ment to the first violin, but they were,
Nithal. pleasing.

fifth floor oil the west side of the build
ing. KiesePs rart in the cleaning was
to attend TO the outside of the windows.
In order TO do the work with more free
dom and dispatch, Kiesel stood on the
outside sill. The girl who was assist
inc him objected to his taking any
risk in standing outside the windows,
but Kiesel made light of her fears.
Several windows had been cleaned be-
fore the one from which Kiesel fell
was reached. This one was the last one
OH that side of the building, and on
getting outside KieseI saw some one in
the yard in the rear of the hotel. He
called to the person, and as he turned
to look down his feet slipped and he
was dashed to his death. In his fall he
struck the roof of an addition two
stories high, but his almost lifelesS body
bounded off the building to the ground.
Medical aid was at once summoned, but
the unconscious sufferer was past the
point where human aid would be of any
assistance. and in few min utes he
was dead. Kiesel was nineteen years
old. and had been employed at the hotel
for three months. His parents live at
Owatonna, and the remains will be sent
to that place for burial.

VIII Be Tried at Detroit.

John Sloan, half-breed, will be ex-
amined today before United States Com
missioner Griffin, at Detroit, on charge
of killing his wife. Assistant United
States District Attorney j. f. Striker
and Stenographer j. Nj. Dickey went up
to Detroit last night to he present at the
examination. The alleged killing oc-
seurred on the 11th of this month, and
the wife was buried. The Indian police
: had the body disinterred for the pur
pose of a post mOrtem examination, and
DIR. William Davis, OF this city, went
up to White Earth to make an autopsy.
This was done after the agency doctors
had exhumed the body, made an eX-
animation and again allowed it to be
buried. 1t is said that Sloan claims
that his wife was jealous Of him and
attacked him in bed, when he choked
her in defense.

THEY WANT RELIEF.
Retail Coal Dealers Would
Like to Be Rid Of the
Combine,
But If They Sell Outside They
Will Be Barred From
Buying Coal.
Detectives Sent to Small Con-
Germs to Buy at Reduced
Prices.
Many Unwilling Witnesses
Testify Before the Joint
Committee.

The coal combine investigation is de-
veloping many peculiar phases of human
nature. The consensus of opinion Is
that tie retailers are exceedingly
anxious to be relieved of the octopus
that cuts them down to miSerly profit
of 81 a ton less the expense or handling.
1t is proven that the retailers have to
pay S7.S5 a ton and that they are
bound by contract with the Northwest
ern bureau, of which John J. Rhodes is
the prime spirit, to sell at the uniform
price of SS.S5 a ton. The retailers hold
that they are forced to pay good deal
more than they ought to, and they
testify that they are instructed by
Rhodes that if they cut the prices they
cannot get any coal to sell. or that a
threat to that effect is neld over them.
The evidence last night at the AS
toria hotel was of the most unique sort.
because of the varying willingness or
unwilingness of the witnesses to an
swer frankly the questions proaounded.
L. w. BOnham. a man that had done
some work for the combine, gave rather
interesting testimony, disclosing the
mOduS operandi of the bureau. 1t
showed how the members are KEEP
in line, but the queeIest testimony
was given by Thomas w. Wallace,
of the firm of Allard & Wallace, coal
dealers out on University avenue.
Senator DOnnelly was convinced that
he was an unwilling witness, and told
HIM in pretty plain English that he
prevaricated. His partner will next Oe
called. and developments are antici'
pated. But there were frank an
STRAIGHTFORWARD witnesses, and they
testified without equivoeatiOn that they
were told by Rhodes that they could
get no coal unless they maintained the
prices prescribed by the bureau.

Called the Cork Club.

The st. Paul Cork club, a peculiar or
ganization, whose members all carry a
miniature cork covered with gold
band, which is shown when they meet
another member of the club on the
street instead of saying "How do you
do?" elected officers at 2S4 Sibley street
last evening as follows: President.
August Koehler; vice president, Joe
Ruger: secretary, Peter Hess; treas
urer, Charles Miller; trustees, Fred
Smith, Joe Clipper, Peter Rhodes and
II. j. Legel. The club is composed of
forty-three members. and every time
they meet one another they must show
the cork. for if they speak they Will be
fined. 1t is an old German style, new
in this country. but creates considerable
amusement for the members.
