Right Kind of Socialism.
Minneapolis Tribune.

To the railroad companies the plan would
seem to be a good one, as 1t will give it's
most thrifty and steady employees a pro-
prietary interest IN the property and will
thus naturally increase their zeal for the
prosperity of the road. When he is an
owner of stock the humblest employee will
feel that he is partner with the magnates
in control. and the fact will tend TO estab-
lish feeling of fellowship that will grad
ually do away with the feeling of antagon-
ism between capital and labor, where such
exists. Make the laborer a capitalist. even
though a small one, and he Immediately
becomes a more conservative force in the
community.

An Active Imagination.

A pleasant reference was made In the
Journal yesterday morning to Mr.. X. w.
Jordan, a travelling man stopping at the
Denison. The item was based upon infor-
nation furnished by the hotel clerk and
was to the effect that Mr.. Jordan had been
left a legacy by an invalid whom he had
befriended. Mr.. Jordan says the clerk
clearly evolved the little romance from his
active imagination. Mr.. Jordan was mar
ried last summer and has recently come to
this city to live.

EAGLE BARN BURNS
Totally Destroyed Last Night--Insur-
ance Is small

Last night between 10 and II o'clock
the old Eagle livery barn on North To-
peka avenue. near the corner of Topeka
and Second street, was totally destroyed
by fire. The first alarm was turned in
about 10 o'clock and by the time the de-
partment reached the scene the building
was so far consumed that it was impos-
sible to save it. The attention Of the
hremen was turned TO the adjoining
building and it IS something marvellous
that they were saved. The large. two
story double house which was within ten
feet Of the south wall OF the livery barn
caught fire several times, but owing 70

flames were each time extinguiShed.

had been in the upper part OF the barn
since early in the evening
Mr.. Hartman was seen al II c'clocs
last night and stated that he could not
estimate the loss Of the vehicles and
other articles which were consumed in
the fire. He says that he has insurance
TO the amount of sl,eo5 on his property.
but if much Of it burned that would not
cover the loss.
Mr.. Lewis carried $1,000 insurance on
the building. The property was worth
much more than that and was originally
erected at a cost of $500.
The building was erected during the
SOS by Henry Jones. The circumstances
concerning its erection were rather Pc
euliar. The site which the barn occupied
was once the property of Mr.. Jones and
had on it a little cottage The Presby-
terrain people owned the property just
south of the cottage. When the building
idea struck them they desired 10 build a
new church and wanted to purchase the
adjoining property from Mr.. Jones. Mr..
Jones was willing to sell, but the price
asked for the property was considered
eXorbitant for those times. Mr.. Jones,
knowing that they desired to erect a
church. informed them one day that if
they did not take the property at his
price he would commence the erection of
livery barn The church people thought
ne was running a bluff and refused 10
pay the price asked for the property. In
a short time the building of the barn
was commenced and continued until fully
completed.
Inc barn has been run by many differ
ent people and for seeral years after its
erection was known as the Spite" barn

Dakotas. The soft wheat, the wheat you
see quoted as No. 2 red, such as is raised
in Indiana and Illinois, has, as you prob
ably know, very white, soft berry. The
hard wheat's center is not particularly
white and is hard and only when it is
graduated does it become white, and
then not as white as the soft wheat. But
the flour Of the hard wheat makes the
best bread and makes more of it. It is
always preferred. When a baker can get

Mr.. Imboden said that the wheat was
wonderful this year and was all the reap
