A COLOSSAL RING,

Union Of the Millers Of the Whole
Country to Control the Price Of
Wheat.
The colossal scheme to consolidate the
vast milling properties of New York Mil
Waukee, Minneapolis and Duluth is yet
very far from completion. There is no
doubt but that powerful effort will be
made to induce the heavy foreign stock
holders to sanction the deal, but it IL
known that the plan will be opposed by
prominent millers, chief of whom is X. II.
Glyn, president of the Pillsbury- w ASH
burn Milling company. Whatever ad-
yantages might accrue from the consolida-
ton as seen by the capitalists interested in
combining the properties. it is certain that
the plan is looked upon with disfavor By
a number of local millers.
1t is understood that President ClXn who
has been in the city for a few days is
already hurrying back to England to dis
courage the consolidation movement.
A special to the Chicago Record says
that President Eugene Jones, of the Heck
er-Jones-JeweN Milling company confirms
the reported flour mill combination i'm the
northwest. and that there is no question
but that the deal as arranged will be car
ried out 1t can be positively stated that
while the deal is on, the consent of a ma
jority of the stockholders remains to be
secured, contamination which President
Glyn will vigorously oppose.
The total capital stock of the different
companies amounts to about $50 100000. The
following list includes the principal plants
which may be combined: Pillsbury-Wash-
burn of Minneapolis, daily capacity of 25-
900 barrels; Washburn-Crosby of Minneap-
oils, capacity 1900; Northwest Consoli-

Np. RurtOu Sneake Out.

The Referendum of this week is be-
fore me, and after careful perusal OF
it's pages hardly know what to say. 1
am surprised, disappointed, and withal
humiliated In all truth l had thought
the Populist press incapable of such mis-
representation as appears here with ref
erence to the recent national convention.
The statement, for instance, that 10
delegates out of the number were self
appointed, and represented no party and
no people, can not be supported by even
the semblance of a fact. On the contra
ry, the vast majority, if not all. aside
from the faction that bolted, of those
who were present and took part. were
duly and properly accredited delegates.
The statement, further, that no provis-
ion was made for any referendum is alb
solutely untrue. As every man who as
sisted in making nominations will tes-
tify. The following resolution introduced
by Capt. Burkitt was unanimously
adopted:
REFERENDUM RESOLUTION.
Whereas, The sole object Of this con-
yention has been and is to secure to the
rank and file of the Peoples Party an
absolute certainty that straight Popu-
list platform should be presented to them
in 1900. Therefore,
Resolved, That the ticket nominated
here today is subject to a referendum
vote of the Populists of the United
States.
Resolved, Second, that the referendum
vote above referred to shall be taken in
accordance with the plan provided in
the report of the committee on plan OF
organization, made to this convention.
A number of like baseless assertions
could be cited, but these are sufficient.
In all candor only two items in the re-
port of the opposition are worthy of any
serious consideration.
A point Is sought to be made first of all
by pointing out the fact that a gOOdly
number engaged in bolt. 1t is not point
ed out, however, that the leaders of the
bolt fought for nearly two hours to Sc
cure a recognition of Butler and his
committee. It is, of course, not point
ed out that quite one-half, if not ma
jority, of those who engaged in the bolt
were not the chosen delegates of the
rank and file of the party. And, as
matter of fact, it is not pointed out that
the action Of the boilers was applauded
and Endorsed by the enemy Of Populism
in the land.
A point is sought to be made further
by calling attention to the small attend
ance. It is true that the attendance
was not large, but it was large enough to
represent the wishes of the great major
ity of the straight Populists of the ma
ton and consequently all sufficient. I'm
der it's banner and led on by the purest
and the bravest, are the tried and the
true to the number of at least 100000.
On the other hand, it's opposition cannot
claim. at the most, more than $4,000 ad-
herents. And yet the representatives
of this lesser number point in spirit of
derision to the representatives of the
greater number. Ye gods! What a
spectacle!

Picked Mushrooms.

The delicious If Id mushrooms which
begin to spring up in the pastures as
early as the last two weeks of August
and continue. throughout September
and part of October, make a good
pickle. The old southern rule for put
ting them up is as follows: Take two
quarts of small button mushrooms.
Peel them and throw them into salt
and water for five minutes, and then
drain them. Add to a quart of good
cider vinegar an ounce of bruised gin
ger root. Green ginger is the best, but
the dried root will do in this case. Add
also half an ounce of mustard seed and
the same amount Of white pepper. Add
a tablespoonfdlsof salt and sprinkle
in about saltspoonful of cayenne
pepper. Let the vinegar boil for a min
ute, then add the mushrooms, and sim
mer them five minutes. Put them in
bottles, dividing the space. They are
an excellent pickle to serve with boiled
fish.-N. Y. Tribune.

Rats on Ironcla DIS.

Confronted with the difficulties
which modern builders. and house
builders put in the. way of rats in
drains, floors and skirtings, the black
rat will probably be baffied, while the
sagacious gray rat still remains more
or less master of the situation. The
case of the rat is typical of the value
of brain power. Routine, which is the
usual condition of animal existence,
does not exist for them. They have
to face demonstrations" of their COM
mon surroundings at any given mo-
ment, and their resources and adapt
ability have seldom been found want
ing. Ship rats have survived the era
of steam and steel, and only recently
thrived so successfully in big iron
clad that they made her majesty's ship
Colossus almost uninha bit BILE. House
rats have learned how to cope with
gas fittings, lead pipes. brick drains
and cemsnt floors; '''sewer rats" have
made themselves a name coeval with
modern urban sanitation, and others
are now learning to live in "coId
stores" and eat chilled meat and game
in an atmosphere where breath turing

A BROKEN REED.

The threatened notice for Darcie to
pack his blankets was not, in his case,
delivered in. person. 1t appeared with
out visible human agency on, the out
side of the door of the Black Dwarf, and
the language was such that it cannot be
repeated here.
Darcie and Mike worked close to-
gether, and were never unarmed' or off
their guard. When Mike, two Or three
days after the storm, was obliged to go
to Wallace for supplies, he avoided the
the railroad track and took the old trail.
and Darcie remained in the tunnel. with
his Winchester handy,and an ore-car on
tie track by way of barricade. He was
in his working-clothes, but he was not
making wages, not even the wages of
a trammer, according to company
prices. He was still grinding away at
that equivocal position from which, as
he had volunteered to Miss Bingham,
the next eastern mail was to release
him. He was already free in intention,
and his conscience toward her was
clear, but evidence of his previous po-
sition was still upon his person in the
contents of certain letter which he
had written on the very day before
the day that brought her to the cabin.
To send it, or not to send it, that was
the question. To whom did that letter
belong?
"I'm broken reed" he said aloud,
and then he could not help laughing.

Private McHroth wooed Death,

At the grim battle in the typhoon be-
fore Manila, on the night of July 81,
there was no more dramatic incident
than the death of Private McElroth, of
battery II, Third United States artil-
lery. The darkness and the terrible
fire of the .Spaniards made the situa-
ton of the American boys a trying
one, and they wavered in their
trenches. Suddenly Private McElroth.
who was acting as sergeant, jumped
from the trench and mounted the par
apet, walking courageously up and
down as an example to the men. The
battery caught McElroth's spirit and
was steadied in a moment. But McEl-
roth fell. fatally wounded in the head.
