He turned gravely and said:
DO you go?'
"Yes, indeed"
Every SuudayT' asked the
great inquisitor,
"Well'-er-well, nearly every
Sunday" was the faltering reply.
ID, you believe in the efficacy
of prayer3" was the next search
ing question that came from the
statesman's lips.
"Oh, yes" was the answer.
what do you pray for9"
The woman tried to evade the
question, but managed to stammer
out: con, l pray to do right and
to be happy aud to be forgiven
for what | have done that is
wrong"
The interpreter smiled as he
translated the message. Ii Hung
Chang's eyes twinkled as he
answered.
do you get all you pray for?'
This was an unexpected ques-
tion, but she said obviously: II
believe So"
Then, replied Ii Hung Chang,

preted to him, "you do not know
whether there is any reply to your
prayers or not; you only believe
so"

Arouses the Ayarice of Duluth Men,

Watch 1t.

The Wisconsin Northern Railway
company has been licensed to maintain
a railroad in the state of Wisconsin. Its
general purpose is to build and equip
100 miles of road from Big Suamico, in
Brown county, to run in northwest
erly direction to the boundary line OF
Wisconsin and Michigan.
The stockholders of the Northwestern
road are the incorporators of the new
line, and the capital stock, divided
into 5000 shares, is 100000. The board
of directors includes President Marvin
Hughitt, of the Northwestern, who
was in st Paul Thursday, and who
holds the controlling interest in the
new company; Albert Keep, Chicago;
NJ NJ. Kirkham Evanston; w. H. New
man, Chicago; John M. Whitman, Chi
cago; Charles E. Simmons, Oak Park,
and J. B. Redfield, Chicago.
There is at present tract of land,
comprising some 275,000 acres secured
by the Northwestern road under the
grant of 1856, which is chiefly valuable
for the quality of hardwood timber
it produces. and it is understood that
the 100 miles Of track referred to above
are being built for the purpose of open
ing up this land for settlement.

ming and Bluffton. They also wrote
that they were tired of doing business
for fun, and would pay as much at
Wadena as at the other points. The
committee feared this would. mean
that the prices at all four markets
might be reduced cent or two ito
place them all on an equal footing"
and kept their buyer on the street I'M
til the movement of wheat had prac-
tically ceased
There was not as much direct ship
ping by farmers as there would have
been had it not been for the citizens
committee, as the producers could
get as much for their wheat on the
ground as they could by shipping it
direct. Among those who did ship
their wheat were: E. B. Thomson
John Stewart. F. E. Knapp, Edmund
Ellington, Charles Smith, Tunger Oh
son, john Black and S. Turrell. They
all made money over the prices the
elevators were offering, and the profit
would have been far greater had it
not been for the competition from the
citizens. There never was any trouble
about securing cars for track ship
ment, and the bulk of the wheat mar
keted here was shipped by the North
ern Pacific. All the citizens bought
was sent over that line, and two of
liiS CiCNltOIS al Z iOCdlcQ vi It's sue
tracks. The Great Northern offered
cars. but the tracks of that company
were not as conveniently located with
relation to the business center of the
town as those Of the other road
There has been marketed here about
100000 bushels of wheat, and of this
over $4,000 bushels was handled by
the citizens committee. The direct
shipments and the amount consumed
DV the W9dana roller mill will r1roh
ably aggregate another $4,000 bush
els, which leaves 100000 bushels to
have been handled by the line ele-
vators There are three elevators
here, and their aggregate capacity is
125000 bushels. They are the Andrews
& Gage, $4,000 bushels; Peavy, $4,000,
and the Interstate, $4,000.

markets had been reduced from Is to 9
cents bushel On the day wheat
touched so cents over 1000 bushels were
purchased by the citizens committee,
and the elevators could get none The
following day Mr.. Klatzky, the citizens
buyer, offered 81 cents, and Robb, the
buyer for the Peavy elevator, would
tell the farmer to drive down to that
house and get so cents. Although they
offered cent more than the citizens
they were only able to get two or three
loads of wheat, while several thousand
bushels were purchased by Mr.. KlatZ-
ky. While the buying was going on
the wheat was weighed and the tickets
made out by volunteers. The commit
tee had employed men to assist in load
ing the wheat into cars and had pur-
chased scoops and brooms to be used in
moving the grain and cleaning the cars.
AS fast as the tickets were made out
the farmers could get their cash at
either Of the banks. Each of the banks
the First National and the Merchants
National-had agreed to advance 81, 900,
but they had paid out over ten times
that sum before they received a cent in
return.
The elevator people, finding the citi-
zens were determined, worked hard for
the wheat and offered little more than
there was in it, so the committee con-
| Guided to let them have it as long as
| they paid what it was worth. The COM
| mittee had bought twenty-six carloads
