FOR SELF PRESERVATION.
Reasons Why the Spring Wheat
MilIers Have Come Together.

The St. Paul Pioneer Press Thursday
published long article on an alleged
combine on the spring wheat millers
of the country, brought about by Mr..
R. D. Hubbard of this city. In speak
ing of the matter today, Mr. Hubbard
said:
'The papers give me credit for
what l have not done. 1t would be
useless to deny that corporation has
been formed by many of the spring
wheat millers, but l did not organize
it any more than l did the Southern
Minnesota organization, as was claim
ed did. l am not even an officer of
it. 1t is true that there are over
hundred mills in the corporation, and
possibly 400 outside of it,
81 want it understood that there is
no trust or combine about the mat
ter, and instead of there being
dozen men in the st. Paul office, there
are but three. The Pioneer Press says:
The purpose is to advance the price
of flour from the present low quota
tions, to secure satisfactory rail and
water transportation rates and to COM
pei every spring wheat grinder in the
country to become part of the pool.
1t is the successor of the
Southern Millers' Association. =
The whole aim of the organization is
to protect the gigantic Touring inter-
ests of Minneapolis, now threatened
by competition.
'"The only true statement IN this is
that the organization is intended to
secure satisfactory transportation
rates. Its only objects are to do this
and to put stop to ruinous COMPETE
tion, which has made the milling bust
ness improbable of late years. Under
the conditions, such an organization
was inevitable. American flour ship
ments to England have been curtailed
by dock and other charges there, and
this is oneof the matters to which at
tention has been turned.
'"The effect on the price of wheat
will be to raise it, if anything, for if
the mills are doing profitable bust
ness, the demand for wheat will be
steady and increasing. Output is not
to be curtailed. The mills
have not got together to raise
the price of flour, but as a matter of
self-preservation. The milling bust
ness has long been depressed, through
decreased export trade, due to the
competition from India, Argentine,
| Australia and elsewhere.

NEW COUNCIL STARTED.
The N. w. Legion of Honor starts out
with a good membership.

The first meeting of those who have
signed as charter members of the new
council of the Northwestern Legion
of Honor was held at the Odd Fellows
hall Friday night. Another meeting
will be held at the same place next
Thursday night, when the officers
will be elected and installed. There
are between forty and fifty on the
charter membership list, and it is ex-
pected to raise the number to hun
dred or more within the next three or
four weeks, after which time the list
will be closed.
At the meeting last night, the
name of Mankato council was select
ed, and the number will be supplied
with the charter. w. H. Van Dusko,
deputy grand commander of Mime
sofa, was present and assisted. He
was at StJames Wednesday night and
reports fine council organized there.
The order is rapidly growing, and
councils are rapidly springing up all
around, and Mankato ought to have
one of the best.

Her work was highly spoken of.

The other teachers whose names do
not appear in the above list will be
considered at future meeting, ac-
tion having been deferred in their
cases at the request of one or another
member OF the board.
On motion of Mr.. Cray, the secre-
tary was instructed to ask each teach
er elected to make a formal accep-
tance of the election within ten days,
and no reply will be deemed a decli-
patton of the election.
This action was taken as a mat
ter of protection to the board, as
there was complaint that in former
years teachers had been elected and
then tried to secure better positions
inSother cities, not notifying the
board of their designations until late
in the summer, when it was difficult
to fill their places by the opening of
school.

elected, Capt. Keysor withdrew from
the meeting, although requested to
remain.

present. This led to much discussion
and delay, the opponents of Prof.

tion postponed. 1t was stated that
Capt. Keysor knew that the meeting
was for the election of the teachers,
and that it would be difficult to hit on
day when full meeting could be

the case at present.
Finally the motion prevailed, and

On motion of Mr.. Mcconnell, the

Supt. Kenaston thanked the board
for the confidence which it had shown
in him. He said that there must be
differences of opinion always, and was
glad that they had occurred honestly
and fairly in this case. He thanked
the board for the many favors it had
shown him, and said that he would
be glad TO talk over matters connect

A BOLD ROBBERY.
THE SALVATION ARMY CAPTAINS
SUFFER LOSS
Tn cir House Entered Friday Night,
Clothing Removed, and 500 Stolen
From the POcketS-The Clothing
and Empty Pocket Books Found
in the Rear Yard This Morning
A Sleek Job.

The two new captains Of the Saliva
tion Army were the victims of bold
robbery Friday night. They are j. S.
Kennitz and E. j. Tear, and they oc-
cupy small house on Poplar street,
short distance west Of the Milwau-
kee track. They occupy bedroom
together on the first floor, and retired
at about III 80 o'clock last night, hav-
ing locked all of the doors and win
dOwS except the rear window OF an
other sleeping room. They slept
soundly during the night, and heard
no noise of any kind. This morning
they could not find their trousers,
but after some search saw them lying
in the yard to the rear Of the house,
with the pockets turned inside out,
and the pocket books lying empty
near by. The rear door of the house
was also open.
The contents of the pocket books
were missing, but nothing else was
taken, and the private papers were
scattered on the ground. Mr.. Ken
nitz lost $50 of his own money and $3.50
of the Armys money saved up to
pay rent. Mr.. Tear lost S.. There
is no clue to the thief or thieves, but
the matter was placed in the hands
of the police this morning.
Capt. KennitZ was last stationed at
Ironwood, Mich, and came to Man.
kato two weeks ago. In speaking of the
robbery today, he said to the FREE
PRESS. "Ironwood is a mining town
and money is more plenty there than
here. | received a small salary, and
was able TO save little money. Here
our receipts are light, and salary is
out of the question. Capt. Tear and
l receive only enough to barely exist,
and the rest goes to pay other ex-
penses. The twenty members of the
army here are poor, and our receipts
are principally from the collections
taken up at our evening street SER
vices. l have been drawing on my
own money here to help along
l don't feel so badly over losing that
as L do over the loss of the Army's
money, as l am responsible for it..
But, we must make the best of it.,
and not cry over spilled milk
Capt. Tear came to Mankato three
weeks ago from Iron Mountain, Mich.
The two did not know each other I'M
til two weeks ago, and each did not
know that the other had money, so
Capt. Kennitz states. The latter be-
lieVeS that the robbers must have
been acquainted with the house, as
they entered the back window, pass
ed through the rear bedroom and the
sitting room, and entered the front
bedroom by the sitting room door, and
passed out with the clothing by the
back door. 1t would be an easy mat
ter to get away along the railroad
track.

TEACHERS REELECTED.
SUPERINTENDENT KENASTON EN-.
DORSED BY THE BOARD.
Very Few Vacancies in the Corps of
Public School Teachers This Spring
==faithful Service Rewarded by In
creased Salaries in rlany Cases.
Arrangements For the High School
Graduating Exercises Partially rlade

The annual election of teachers made
the meeting of the board of education
Friday night an unusually important
one. 1t has been an open secret that
several members of the board were OPP
posed to the reelection of Supt.
Kenaston, although conceding that
| the schools were never in better con-
dition than they are today. Various
candidates have been considered, but
not more than three votes could be
united on any one. At the April
meeting an informal ballot was taken,
in which Supt. Kenaston received
four votes, Prof. Van Dyke, of Waba-
Sha, two, and two were voted blank.
Every member of the board was
present, and President Williams
welded the gavel.
The first thing considered was bill
of $780, 10 from Stewart & Holmes for
magazines for the High school library,
and it went through.
The committee on commencement
program, through Chairman Davis,
made a report, recommending
that 300 programs be secured, to be Sc
lected by the members of the class,
and not to exceed SIS in cost. Action
was taken to carry this into effect.
Mr.. Fletcher said that the COM
mittee on place for holding the gradu-
ating exercises had made an arrange
ment whereby the Normal hall could
be secured, and the money saved put
into the library. He had heard that
there was opposition on the part of
teachers and scholars, and would like
to have the board consider the matter.
Principal Searles said that the class
was opposed to going to the Normal,
as there was rivalry between the pu-
pills of the two schools, and the class
would feel Inundated by graduating
in building where the Normal class
would not graduate The class would
like to go to the opera house, but
would prefer the High school hall to
the Normal hall.
Mr.. Fletcher said that he was in
favor of cutting down expenses where
ever possible, and he thought the OBJ
lection far fetched. This year there
is a lecture instead of the class eXer-.
cises, and he could see no reasonable
objection to using the Normal hall.
Mr.. Searles said that the class
thought itself not as we'll treated as
the class of last year.
Mr.. Fletcher denied that there was
any intention to treat the class diff
ferently from any other class.
DR.. Davis said that he was in favor
of following the wishes of the class in
this matter.
The election of teachers was taken
up, and the following were elected:
