We notice with warm approval the
Democratic attacks upon Mayor Hen
drlck because he so eandidly stated in
his letter to the Court of Common
Council one OF the chief objects of
party organization and work. 1t is
perfectly proper and reasonable that he
should be assailed for his frankness.
He has not been In politics long enough
and deep enough to learn the value of
some of the names and tricks that are
in common use in the game. There is
much in a name and instead of saying

Good Government, Charter Revision, or

letting the cat out Of the bag. Had he
not written as he did nobody would
have known that the Republicans want
the paying offices, and nobody would

MONTY IN SATTMG.

The man who makes one blade Of
grass grow where none grew before
has some claim to be called a farmer,
and the man who sells for a penny that
which was formerly thrown away will
get rich If he can sell enough and save
the pennies. Therefore an idea which
has been put forth by the Department
of Agriculture seems to be worth con-
sideration. 1t is to utilize great guam
titles Of food materials that now go
to waste in this country by putting them
into the shape Of biscuits and cakes
for sale as feed for horses and cattle
abroad The material thus employed
would be reduced by hydraulic pressure
to the least possible bulk. 1t is be-
lieved that in this way a market can
be found in Europe for certain products
of the United States which at present
are thrown away-such as the refuse
of flour mills, rice mills, oat mills, cot
tonseed oil mills, and the glucose and
starch factories. Farmers in Europe
are accustomed to feed their animals
on cakes which are compounded on diet
etic principles, so as to furnish the
requisite elements for producing fat
and lean. To serve as a basis for the
cakes referred to, they obtained from
the United States last year $50, 900
pounds of refuse from cottonseed oil
and linseed oil mills, representing a
value of $7,200,0O0. They mix this stuff
with various grains and folders, so
as to make suitable ration for what
be flesh, milk, or the support of beasts
of work 1t is estimated that ten
pounds of glucose are manufactured
annually for every man, woman, and
child in this country. For this pur-
pose the starchy contents of the corn
grains are separated from the hulls and
germs. The germs and hulls, which
are extremely rich in food elements, are
wasted to great extent, though a por-
ton of this material is dried and util-
lied eventually as 'cattle-feed. 1t is the
same way with similar by-products of
the mills which prepare corn for dis
tillers and brewers. At present we sell
abroad less than 100000 tons of oil-cake
and meal 1t is believed that we could
readily dispose of POO, 900 tons of ready
made feed cakes, worth 500 a ton at
our seaboard, or S24, 900 ,OOO-a gain of
more than S14,O0OOOO in foreign markets
for our grain producers, millers, and oil
mills. In Europe the cakes which the
farmers make or buy are solidifed by
mixing the ingredients with a tarry
or other sticky substance. It is sug-
gested that for this purpose in the
United States molasses might be en-

Not for a long while has white been
so persistently favored through all sea-
sons as it has been for the last two or
three years. The fact is, that though
white seems rather reckless and per
ishable, there is nothing that cleanses
so satisfactorily and so the White
broadcloth gown for instance, that
seems so very dainty, is not bad in
vestment after all, especially as it will
dye after it has been cleansed several
times. In the gown of the accompany

Westward the star of Puritanism
takes it's way. The Iowa legislature is
considering q measure extending over
the whole State the curfew restrictions,
adopted by many towns and small cities
in the West, requiring children and
youths under certain age to quit the
public streets and be found indoors
after 8 o'clock at night. But more
striking case than this is the passage
by the Lincoln, Nebraska, city council
of an ordinance prohibiting the use of
cigarettes. cigars or tobacco in any form
within the city limits by persons under
IS years of age. The police are author
lied to arrest without warrant any
person found violating this act. The
same city has also enacted a curfew
ordinance.

Worcester, Massachusetts, city
about the size of New Haven, has per-
haps as many philosophical citizens as
New Haven has. One of them, Stephen
Salisbury, has just given to his fell
low-townsmen a $4,000 site for an art
museum and 100000 more to erect a
suitable museum building, while
enough art treasures have already been
offered to the public by residents of
the city to ensure a creditable collec-
ton at the start.

Steel-coated rifle bullets for the new
magazine guns cause very little pain,
says DR.. Delorme, surgeon n-chief of
the French army. During the riots at
FourInies one man was wounded so
badly as to be paralyzed, but did not
suspect that he had been shot until he
saw blood stains on his clothing; one,
shot through the leg, only felt slight
shiver; another, shot through the arm,
felt his elbow twitch and closed his fist
mechanically. At short range, 100 to $50
yards, the bullets are apt to explode
and to do serious mischief.

Rhode Island is not in immediate
danger Of being dominated by the negro
vote. Counting as colored all shades
of African descent, the Census bureau
finds that in ten years the number has
increased only from 7,342 to 1928. Com
parison shows that there has been an
increase of less than 100 per cent. in
the colored population of Rhode Island
since 1900 The number of these in
Tabitants UP to 1860 did not rise above
$500. An increase followed the Civil
war. and in 1875 the census fixed their
number at 6,271. From 1875 to 1885 the
growth was over seventeen per cent,
or, in numbers, 1,071, but from that year
to 1895 the increase in numbers was but
5sS, representing growth Of eight per
cent.

BICYCLlSTS' RAID
continued From First Paee.

a general battle ensued, and the robbers
leaped upon their horses, shooting right and
left at any who showed their heads. Brave
Cashier Haywood continued his defense OF
the treasure until 1t was his undoing. AS
the robbers turned to leave the bank, one Of
them placed a gun to the cashiers head and
killed him. The robbers secured no money,
and in their efforts to escape, two of them
were killed by the citizens. The balance Of
the gang escaped to the timber, and then
commenced one of the most extraordinary
man hunts in criminal history.
The men all rode fine horses, and were
excellent riders AS fast as their horses
would give out, they would steal fresh
mounts from the farmers and go on, day and
night, until 1t seemed as If they never would
be caught. They were traced to Waterville
lake, in Waseca county, and often the farm
ers would catch sight Of the bandits, but SO
terrifying were their aspect that no one had
the courage to stop them. The circle of
pursuers extended for miles and miles. Sew
eral days after the robbery the bandits were
seen to cross the Blue Earth river near Man.
kato. and then the track was lost again.
The search was abandoned beyond Worth
ington. and the papers announced on Sept.
10 that the robbers had been last heard Of in
the Lost Timber of Dakota
Two days later however, the men were
suddenly discovered near Medalia, and a
posse was formed A brisk battle ensued,
and one of the robbers was killed and the
others wounded and captured. The surviv-
ors proved to be the Younger boys. They
refused to reveal the names of any of their
dead or living companions in the raid. By
order of the state authorities all of the dead
and surviving bandits were brought to st.
Paul. and from here taken directly to
Faribault. where they were tried and SEN
fenced. The capture was made Sept q, thir
teen days after the raid, and within thirty
miles Of where yesterdays tragedy occurred

FUEL DEALERS ARE HOT.
Were Neatly Caught on the Bogus
Check Swindle.

A clever swindling scheme in which
the antiquated bogus check plays an
important part was brought to the at
tention of the police yesterday after
noon. The victims are fuel men in all
parts of the city and there is no tell
ing to what extent they have been
fleeced In the desire to do a little extra
business. The swindlers have prob
ably secured hundreds of dollars.
The swindlers are thought to have
been a man and wife. They would
drive up in front Of fuel office just
after closing up time and on each oc-
casion were in a great hurry for load
of coal or wood, which they wished
delivered Immediately. In most cases
the proprietor would inform them that
it would be impossible to deliver the
fuel until the next day. At the re-
quest of the couple, who hadn't
enough wood or coal to cook break
fast" the obliging dealer would agree
to send up enough TO last until the
load got there.
Then with many thanks the man
would produce a check for an amount
several times larger than the cost of
the prospective load Of fuel and would
offer to pay for the whole thing in adj
vance, The checks had the appearance
of being genuine and the delighted
dealer would invariably "go down In
his jeans and cash the check, with
holding the cost of the fuel. All the
checks were made payable by the w.
X. Morrison Hardware company. A
number of holders of the checks wish
ed to satisfy themselves yesterday as
to their genuineness, and the assistant
bookkeeper was kept busy all the
afternoon informing the enterprising
dealers that the checks were worthless.
Eight dealers have been heard from
and more are expected.
