The Illinois State Board Of Agriculture
has collected statistics designed to show
whether it pays to raise wheat in that
state, and proves conclusively that 1t
does not The percentage of winter
wheat killed was AZ per cent. The aver
age Weld of wheat this year was only
nine bushels to the acre harvested and
only about half that to the acre seeded.
The wheat raised in Illinois this year
has been raised at an actual loss to the
farmers. A statement of the production
of wheat in Illinois for the last 40 years
shows that there was loss in producing
during 20 years and profit during the
other 20 years illinois will itself be a
buyer Of wheat this year, not having
raised sufficient quantity for local con-
sumption.

MOTION FOR A NoN- SUIT.
Granted in the Case OF Zelner
Against Oppenheimer.
1T SETTLES OTHER CASES
Myers Made a Statement That the
Buildings Fall Was Not Due to ANY
Oae's Carelessness-Ground
of the Motion.

The damage suit of John Zelner against
J. E. Oppenheimer, growing out of the
collapse of ,le York building. was ended
yesterday by Judge Lindsay sustaining a
motion for a non-suit at the conclusion
of the plaintiffs case. The decision will
likely have the effect of settling a num-
Der of other suits growing out of the
same matter.
Joseph E. Wakeman was the first wit
ness for the plaintiff yesterday. He hap
pened to be at the building at the time
it started to fall, but could not testify
as to the manner in which it fell. AT
the first alarm he left the neighborhood.
The building had not more than started
to fall when he left.
James A. Myers. plaintiff in another
suit against Oppenheimer, was shown a
statement which he had made in writ
ing to the effect that the fact of the
buildings fall was not due to the negli-
gence or carelessness of anybody He
sad he had read the paper before sign
ing. He was asked to harmonize that
statement with what he had sworn to
in his complaint for damages, and gave
no very satisfactory answer
The principal questions involved in the
plaintiff, in going to work where he did,
assumed the risk necessary to the re-
pair Of any old building, and that there
was no evidence to show that the fore
man was in the building al the time the
props We're removed: in fact, that it was
shown by plaintiffs witnesses that the
props We're removed by fellow servant;
also that the plaintiff knew Of the dan
ger. --.#
The motion presented by Mr.. Cotter
was as follows:
"First-That there is no evidence in
this case to show. or tending to show,
that the fall of the said building was
caused by or through any weakness in
the ioists supporting the second story of
the said building or upon which the floor
of the second story of the said building
rested. and which are referreds in the
complaint as spliced joists.
"Second-There is no evidence to show,
or tending to show, that D. X. Whitney
was employed as superintendent or fore
man to direct the manner in which the
said building should be changed and
reconstructed, or that he did superin-
tend, direct and order the way the work
should be done in the reconstruction of
the said building, or that he represented
this defendant In any capacity as fore
man or superintendent.
'Third-There is no evidence to show
that the defendant knew. or should have
known, or had any reason to know, that
any of the joists supporting the second
floor of the building would not support
the weight resting thereon or that in
taking and tearing away the portions of
the said building remaining after the
removal of tho partition that the same
should be properly supported; on the con-
trary. the evidence shows that they were

he MADE NO DECISION.
Action of Judge Lindsay Was
Misrepresented.
PART OF CLERKS DUTY
Has the Right to Designate Newspaper
in Which Summons Is to Be
Published-A Writ for
John Schneider.

The ruling made by Judge Lindsay a
few days ago on the question as to the
right of the clerk of the courts to des-
ignate the newspaper in which sum-
mons is to be published, which was
raised in mandamus proceedings to
compel him to publish particular
summons in the Butte evening paper,
has given rise to discussion and COM
nent from sources where neither the
law nor the extent of Judge Lindsay's
rulings are understood. Instead of rul-
ing that the clerk is a judicial officer,
as has been pretended was the ruling,
he expressed an opinion altogether to
the contrary, but offered the belief that
the designation Of the newspaper came
under his duties as a ministerial officer,
but he made no decision at all He sim
ply declined to issue a peremptory writ
of mandate and stated from the bench
that If counsel desired to proceed fur
ther he would suggest that an alterna-
tive writ of mandate issue, SO that the
clerk of the court might have an OPP
portunity to be heard, but evidently
that was not desired, for it was not
done and no steps taken to bring the
matter properly before the court or to
take an appeal
The statute providing that the clerk
shall make the order directing publi-
cation Of summons as it does, it is not
reasonable to suppose that he is re-
quired to sign any order an attorney
sees fit to present. Evidently, it is the
clerks order and not that Of the attor-
ney. Sections 637 and 63S Of the code
of civil procedure, which define the
powers and duties of the clerk, are
plain in the statement that it is his
duty to cause the publication land to
direct the publication to be made in
newspaper"
If counsel were permitted to direct the
newspaper in which publication should
be made then the attorney might as
well, in the first place, be authorized
to make and sign the order itself in the
first instance and thus dispose of the
clerk entirely.
ut is claimed that in naming the
newspaper in which publication shall
be made, the clerk is acting in ju-
dicial capacity said a we'll l-known at
torney yesterday. He is not. 1t might
better be said that in making the order
directing publication in the first place
he is acting in a judicial rather than a
ministerial capacity. If the matter of
selecting the newspaper was left to the
attorney for the plaintiff then the at
torney might be considered as usurp-
ing the functions of the clerk and act
ing at least in a ministerial capacity.
THE case cited in the evening paper
has no bearing whatsoever upon the
matter presented to the court. The case
relates to an order made by a clerk
which was furnished on a defective atti-
davit for publication of summons, the
affidavit not setting up the necessary

AMONG RAILROAD MEN
Mellen Says Business Conditions
Are at Their Best.
A GREAT CAR SHORTAGE
The Labor Famine Is Creating Con-
csrn-Great Northern's Small
Rail Order Is Disappoint-
A GREAT CAR SHORTAGE

President Mellen of the Northern Pa
few days ago said:
Business conditions throughout the
entire West continue at their very
best. I feel confident that had we had
sufficient equipment we would have
earned s500,000 more the first four
months of this fiscal year. Car short
age ON our line is not altogether due
to the business boom. The nature Of
our business is such that we are bound
to have a scarcity of cars at this Pc
5riod, and more than enough equipment
at another period of the year. Should
we have on hand all the equipment
necessary in the fall. we would have
great deal of it lying idle later on.
The car shortage a this time, however,
is worse than usual. and l have no
doubt that many industries along our
line have suffered in consequence. The
have lost has been merely deferred.
The farmers in the West are spending
money freely. The best possible evi-
dence of this is the great increase in
our passenger receipts. All our in
crease this month has been made ny
the passenger department. In fact, the
freight department has fallen off
a little. The passenger department is
increasing at the rate Of $4,000 or $4,000

night "Pudd'n nhead Wilson" is a client

ing the thumb marks of every one lie
meets on bits of glass and then filing
them away to study their peculiar
curves and twists. One day mystic
rious murder is committed. The only
clew to the deed is the dagger which

Wilson discovers the bloody imprint Of

days comparing this mark with bits of

afraid of sympathetic demonstration
on behalf of the dissatisfied employees
of other roads than of amy dissatis-
faction among our own.
There have been negotiations be-
tween the Northern Pacific and the
Great Northern with reference to the
Washington Central. We would lie
pleased to turn over this line to the
Great Northern if we got another IN
exchange. but We do not care to sell
it for cash. Whether any deal will be
perfected. no one can say. 1t is not
a burning question with either road.
The retirement of our 6s will reduce
the company's fixed charges about
$270.000 a year. We are glad to get rid
of this debt. We are carrying on inn
provement work on various parts of the
line particularly in the West, but moth
ing of Importance beyond what has
been announced 1t is on the western
part of the line and in the case Of
lumber that the car shortage is most
keenly felt"
In spite of the recent utterances of
President Hill of the Great Northern
that the advance in the price of steel
rails would not affect the large amount
of construction work contemplated IN
all parts of the country, the announce
ment that the Great Northern nas
placed an order for only 10000 tons is
a disappointment in circles along that
road, especially farther west, says the
Minneapolis Times. The advance re-
port of the Great Northern gave rise
to the expectation that the road would
be one of the largest constructors Of
new trackage this year. According to
the steel rail order it will be one of the
smallest in the Northwest.
The Burlington has ordered $4,000
tons The Northern Pacific has or
dered $4,000 tons. The present price Of
steel rails is about $35 per ton and Or
ders now on hand will keep the rolling
mills active for at least 12 months.
This looks as il the Great Northern will
not be able to secure rails for contem-
plated Improvements and that the
work will not be done. Railroad men
say the present order will not be ade-
quate for the requirements at various
points along the main line for track re-
pairing alone, although it must be dis
tributed over the various branches.
The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
has voluntarily increased the wages Of
its engineers, firemen and switchnien
about 10 per cent. the increase being
based on the growth in the earnings Of
the road. Several hundred employees
will receive S. to $40 per month more
than formerly.
Orders for 40 new locomotives for de-
livery in April, May and June, have
been placed by the Great Northern.
Twenty EIGHT will be built by the Rog-
ers Locomotive works, 25 of which will
be the large 10-wheef freight engines
The Northern Pacific has ordered 10
compound consolidation and five 10
wheel freight locomotives for delivery
in the early spring.
