Each grade of middlings has its own
purifier. Here the coarse woody sub
stance in the middlings is removed.
When the wheat comes into the mill,
and before it starts on it's Journey
through the mill in the process of be-
ing transformed into -four, it passes
through three securing machines,
wher every particle of dirt that may
adhere to a kernel, is removed and the
wheatis thoroughly secured.
This in brief gives slight idea of
the process gone through with, in
which the best quality of Minnesota
and Dakota hard wheat is transformed
into the high grade "Superlative"
-four which the Hubbard Milling COM
pany is turning out and for which
they are constantly receiving calls for
from all parts of the world
To drive all this machinery and keep
it running smoothly takes 500 horse
power, and this furnished by huge
Corliss engine. This engine was made
for and exhibited at the New Orleans
exposition and is splendid specimen
of mechanism.
Take it all in all it is doubtful if
there is, for its size, better equipped
mill in the northwest than is the Hub
bard Milling Co., and it is an institu-
tion which the citizens of Mankato
ought to be proud of, representing as
it does one of the substantial
industries of the northwest, one that
has stood as corner stone of her great
wealth and progress

party was seen to pass through this
city about week ago.
Mr.. Macarthur, cashier of the Tracy
bank, accompanied the sheriff to this
city and recognized all the parties ex-
cept Impey as the ones he saw in COM
pany with Peterson at Tracy.
Empey, who claims to have only
been with the party little over a
week, was released this morning, the
sheriff not caring to hold him. The
son of Bradys told the officers at the
station that he thought that Empey
had been with them over a month.
Empey was given possession of the
wagon and contents and will take
same to Chatfeld. The authorities
here seem to think that the Lyon
county authorities are making mis-
take in letting -Empey go.
The prisoners were kept away from
each other last night and were taken
to Tracy by the sheriff this morning.
Mrs. Brady claims she knows moth
ing of the murder and did not know
anything of it until told so by the Off
GERS yesterday.

SMALL POX IN WlNNEBAGO CITY.

Our readers will remember that
two or three weeks ago an account
was given of man being put off the
train at Amboy who was supposed to
have the small pox, his face being
covered with suspicious eruptions.
He got on the train at Winnebago
City, and claimed that he had been
sent out of the town there, though we
believe this part has been denied by
the authorities. The fellow was seen
at several points after his ejectment
from the train, and finally disappear
ed. 1t seems that he had the small
pox, and the trail of his trouble has
now appeared in Winnebago City.
The Enterprise says there are now two
cases there. One at the hotel where
the man stopped over night and the
other in a private family. Strict quar-
antine has been established and it is
hoped that the disease will not spread
further Those who are known to
have been exposed are in house of
detention under close observation,
and it is hoped that the disease will
spread no further. The Enterprise
says the disease as it has appeared is
of a very mild type.
Winnebago people are to be COM
mended for the strict measures they
have taken to stamp out the disease,
but its appearance emphasizes the fact
that authorities cannot be too careful
in such cases, and not turn or leave a
victim at large to expose people to a
dreaded contagious disease wherever
he may happen to wander.

A GROWING INDUSTRY.
Hubbard Milling Co. Make I'M
pOrtant Improvements.
Greatly Increase Output of the Mill, as
Well as the Quality of Their
<Crack Brand "Superlative."

During the past three weeks the
Hubbard Touring mills have been I'M
der going extensive additions and i'm
provements, large force of millrights
and workingmen being busily engaged
in placing the new machinery and
making the necessary changes in
carrying out the plans of the company
for charging and improving the plant.
A large amount of machinery was re-
placed with the latest improvements
known to modern milling science in
accordance with the plans formed
some time since for charging and
practically rebuilding the mill
A reporter of the Free Press was
shown through the mill by Head Mil
Ter Brooks, the "dusty" who has been
responsible for the high quality of
the famous "Hubbard's Superlative"
for the past ten years. While the
scribe is not thoroughly popsed in the
science of milling, it was easy to note
the decided improvements as evil
denced by the long rows of new ma
chinery recently installed, and the
spick and span appearance from top
to bottom.
While the mill has always been IA
nous for the superior quality of its
-four, it's brands ranking at the very
top of all choice Minnesota fours,
the management confidently expect to
produce better results this season
than ever before. With one of the
best milling plants in the country,
with the best skill in the business, and
the wonderfully fine crop of wheat
grown this season, the best in many
We airs, it is safe to predict that Club
bard's Speculative will attain to still
greater popularity than ever before.
When the electric light machinery is
removed to the new building now be-
ing completed by the Electric Light
company, it will enable the mill to
utilize all its power in the production
of -four and will materially increase
it's capacity.
The improvements which have re-
Gently been made will increase the
daily output of the mill about 400 bar
rels and will make the total output
from 1, 500 to 1000 barrels per day.
In passing through the mill one is inn
pressed with the care taken by the
management to keep the mill up 10
date in every particular. Nothing of
practical value in the way Of making
better -four escapes their notice, and it
is at once installed in their plant.
One is also further impressed with the
great change that has taken place in
the methods of Transforming wheat in
to -four, during the past fifteen or
twenty years. Like everything else
| the milling business has made great

strides.
Going first into the basement we
were shown three lines of shafting
running the entire length of the mill,
from which are driven the rows of
rolls on the floors above. On the Sc
cond floor there are an additional nine
teen stand of rolls. In the transform
ing of wheat into -four it passes
through the rolls four times. This is
called the gradual reduction system.
Each reduction passing through a
different set of rolls. With the first re-
duction the wheat is merely broken a
little, and slight amount of patent
middlings are discernibIe This is
separated from the broken wheat in
the course of progress through the pro-
per machinery, and the remainder of
the wheat passes on to another set of
rolls for the second reduction and as
it passes through these larger guam
tity of middlings are noticed. This
process is continued until the four re-
auctions have been passed through and
every particle of the -four ingredient
has been taken from the hull of the
wheat kernel which is now known as
bran. With the first reduction there
also comes besides about 3 per cent of
-four, which is known as third grade
product
The patent middlings are treated
much the same as the wheat. they be-
ing passed through rolls for that par
ticular purpose, and go through five
reductions. From these middlings is
made the well known brand Hub
bard's Superlative. .
One great Improvement in handling
the rolls over the old method is by
what is known as the Per lection dust
collector. This Improvement was
primarily to take the hot air from the
rolls but it collects the dust also, and
with it the rolls can be opened at any
time without the surrounding space
being filed with -four dust. 1t is con-
nected with each set of rolls by large
tin tube. While thus preventing a
great deal of needless dust, it also
effects quite a saving in the course of
year as result of coll Getting and de-
posting this -four dust where it can
be saved.
Another of the important improve
ments made during the recent shut
down of the mills was the placing
therein of three plan sifters The
plan sitter is a device invented by a
German inventor. Over one of these
the patent middlings pass after re-
duction and are separated from the
-four. One of the plan sifters will do
the work of six boiling reels, and
does it much better, separating the
middlings and -four perfectly, and
breaking up the fine flakes of -four,
which on boiling reel would not pass
through the cloth, thus saving it all.
The first, second and third grade of
middlings pass over these plan sifters
and the middlings passing therefrom
are graded. Mr.. Brooks regards this
one of the most important of recent
inventions in the way of milling inn
provements.
There are eighteen purifiers in the
mill, where the patent middlings are
purified before going on to the smooth
rolls where the patent -four is made.

The authorities of this city were
notified by Sheriff A. A. Christensen,
of Lyon county on Wednesday to be on
the lookout for gang of horse traders,
who were wanted by the Lyon county
authorities for the murder of Frank
Peterson one of their comrades which
was supposed to have been committed
on the night of Aug. 14th last and
were asked to arrest all horse traders
and hold them for Identification
Wednesday evening the sheriff of
Lyon county received information
that the suspected gang was seen in
the vicinity of Mankato and yesterday,
he in company with Marshal VIM.
O'Malley, of Tracy, drove in the di-
rection of Waterville and succeeded in
arresting three of the party, who
gave their names as Frank Phalen
J. c. Brady and Mrs. Brady, the seven
year old son of the Brady's was also
with them. They were travelling in a
covered wagon and camping out
wherever stops were made. They
were brought by the sheriff to this
city last evening over the G. G. W.
railway and locked up at the police
station.
Officer 0Imstead's Clever Work.
In the meantime the police of this
city were looking for the other party.
Officer Olmstead was given descrip-
ton at O'Clock last evening of the
men and at once proceeded on a
search In walking down the G. & N.
W. tracks he saw covered emigrant
wagon standing in front of Macbeth s
barn. Seeing no one around there he
went to Krost Bros store and pro-
ceeded to watch the wagon. After
waiting for some little time he was
rewarded by seeing two men approach
the wagon and hold consultation
with woman in the same and from
the descriptions given him of the
men, felt that they needed watching.
He donned citizens clothes and follow
ed the men as they were going down
the street. In going by the station he
notified Officer Daniels to go down and
watch the wagon. The men entered
Janda,s and also Reurup's stores and
made small purchases and from there
they went to Phil Leas' saloon. Off
Ger Olmstead waited on the outside a
few minutes and then entered the sa-
loon and found the two men playing
pool He sat watching them and felt
confident one of the men tailed ex-
actly with the description given him.
When they had finished their game ne
followed them out and when about
opposite the city hall called Chief
Bruels to his assistance and arrested
both men. The men gave their names

MUTlNY NEARLY SUCCESSFUL.
Outbreak i'm BiIibid Prison in Which
Four Are Killed.

Manila newspapers just received at
the war department give details Of a
desperate mutiny among the native
prisoners in Bilibid prison, which re-
suited in the death of four and the
wounding of fifteen of them. The re
port states that the outbreak came
without the slightest warning. The
commandant and other officials of the
prison were going about their duties
on a hot summer afternoon. July 10,
when a little, wiZened Filipino, serving
a life term. assumed a crOuching at
titude and began to creep up behind
the native foreman, giving utterance
to a low grOwl like a wild beast. The
effect was electrical on the other con-
victs. N an instant the muttering had
grown to a wild roar, and every pris-
Oner was making for the keepers with
murder in his eye. The senior cap
tain of the native guard, when he COM
manded the little mob to disperse, was
slashed across the back of the head
with bolo Then the Infatuated men
started for the gateway Of the prison
to overpower the guard and escape.
They were met by Maj. Rogers. the
commandment. and a small portion OF
the guard who fired a vOlley into the
ranks of the fugitiveS. Three men
fell, and this seemed to check the pris-
oners for an instant, but their leader,
a Filipino of the most desperate type,
urged them on. Though already
wounded by the first fire, his spirit
was unbroken, and four volleys were
fired from the rifles before he fell.
Then, like rats in trap, the prisoners
tried first one gateway and then anoth-
er. and probably would have over
powered the small guard and made
their escape had not American prison
ers themselves come TO the rescue and
helped to capture the fugitives. a few
more volleys from their reinforced
pursuers, and the prisoners scurried
to their quarters in abject terror.
