BIG FLOUR TRUST.
The Great Mills Of the Northwest Will
Control the Wheat Market.

CHICAGO, Feb. IA. - A special
from Minneapolis, MINI, says the
flour trust has already been formed
and is now in operation. The scheme
is said to have originated with Hub.
bard, a big miller of Nankato, this
state, and all meetings up to this time
have been held in Chicago. A num-
Der of milers have not gone into the
combine. The understanding is that
u new deal OF prices is to go into effect
after next harvest. The Information
given above comes from man who
who says he has personal knowledge
of the existence OF the organization re-
rerred to, and it is believed to be re-
liable. One of the Minneapolis mill
ers says the report is true and adds
that the trust will include Mime
apolls mills. Without doubt
negotiations have gone so far
that these mills here will
be in it. unless the whole deal falls
through. 1t is expected that MilWau.
hee, WIS, VIII oo III ~ wv, 81 VIII mo
Duluth mills. If they be not included
the whole deal will probably fall
through,
1t is expected that the passage of
the anti option bill has something TO
do with this proposed combination of
millers. The bill will give buyers OF
actual wheat an advantage over those
now engaged, in tuat the market will
not be affected by speculation in wheat
in margins. Millers who use wheat
will be the heaviest traders in the arti-
Gle. A strong ombination of wealthy
Northwestern millers will be able to
almost control the wheat market at
all times.

Crushed By q Locomotive,

Special to The Statesman.
DENIsoN, Tex, Feb. H.--This morn
ing John V. Carlot, who has for the
past thirteen years been employed In
the Hollenbeck bakery, was killed at
the Munson street crossing of the
Houston and Texas Central. AS
usual, Carlot started at o'clock with
his delivery wagon to make his usual
rounds. At about $3.50 o'clock he
crossed the viaduct and started west
on Munson street. AT this point the
road makes sharp turn and 1t is I'M
possible for ole to see an appr aching
train. An employe of the Car shops
saw the train and signalled him to
stop, but he was too late. The horses
cleared the track, but the engine
struck the wagon squarely and
smashed it into kindling wood. Car
lot was thrown against a tie and his
skull crushed, killing him instantly.
The body was placed ON the train and
brought into the city.
