Major John S. Mellon of st. Louis will
appear in Washington this winter with a
bill against the United States Govern
ment for services rendered humanity as
original discoverer Of the germ theory.
According to the grizzled veteran it was
he who laid the foundation stones to the
| elaborate structure Of bacteriology. Pas
teur, he claims, caught his first glimmer-
| ing of the germ idea from an article
which appeared in the old st. Louis Times
! in the year 1866 1t stated that Major
Mellon had made the discovery that chol-
era and diphtheria were caused by what
| he termed a parasite. In order to cure
| the disease it was necessary to kill the
parasite. Major Mellon offered a recipe
which he claimed would accomplish that
result.
| A ST. Paul, Mimi, special says: "When
| the early crop of wheat once gets out of
| the farmers hands, after the holidays,
| it's likely to bring a decidedly better
price. Yes, that price would be more
than a dollar bushel. And never has
there been a better outlook at this time
of the yea for high prices during the
following season. Next year will be a
year Of high-priced wheat" The forego-
ing estimate was made by Oliver Dali
rymple, the bonanza farmer Of the Red
River valley. 'There is certainly short
age in wheat supplies at the present time, !"
continued Mr.. Dalrymple, "and the CON
sensus Of opinion is that winter wheat
will turn out less than an average crop
next spring. All the farmers up in Da-
| kota are naturally feeling good in spite
of the small crop. We have high prices
| at last. I'm just on my way to Casselton
to pay off my men, and, let me tell you,
do it with a good deal more satisfaction
than l have experienced for number of
years."

The result will make no immediate
