la, Mich, is in ST. Paul. and has with
him handsome Irish water spaniel
.'Ted,'' who is, according to his master.
the best educated dog in the world. Ted
is about five and a half years old, ana
he is wise for his age. The tricks that
he performs would entitle him to write
a string of letters a block long after
his name, were he to attend canine
university.
The ordinary trained dog Is nowhere
with Ted, whose repertoire consists OF
5000 separate and distinct tricks Tho
old tricks, such as lying down and play
ing dead, sitting up, begging and cnas-
ing a stick is beneath his dignity. Ted
had much rather exhibit his knowledge
of things in general by means of an al
phabetic set of blocks that his master
has made for him.
While he is only a dog, he has his own
views on the conditions existing socially
and otherwise, and when asked what is
running the country he walks over to
the blocks and picks out the letters

e. N. SAUNDERS SAYS NORTHWEST
ERIN FUEL COMPANY HAS NOT
BEEN ABSORBED
REPORTS WERE MISLEADING
The FairmOnt Company Enjoys In
innate Business Relations With
1t, but No Merger Has
Taken Place. IS

E NJ Saunders, president of the North
western Fuel company, returned home
yesterday morning from an Eastern
trip. When seen at his home by L e
Globe as to the recent announcement
from New York that the Paramount Coal
company had practically acquired con-
troll of the stock of the Northwestern
Fuel company, amounting to S2,5C0G0o. Mf.
Saunders appeared disinclined to discuss
the affairs of his company at any great
length, but declared the statements con-
tanned in the New York dispatches to De
somewhat misleading.
s'There has been no change i'll the
Northwestern Fuel company said he,
that will in any way affect its manage
ment or its business policy. Our COM
pany remains as it always has been ana
as its name implies, a Northwestern
company for the transaction of North
western business. Neither has there
been any change in the personnel of the
company, and as to any control on the
part of the Paramount company. l know
nothing of it. Some Of the stockholders
in the Paramount company, however, are
also stockholders in our company, and
to that extent there is a business affllla-
ton and has been for years, but the
Northwestern Fuel company is an lnde-
pendent and distinct corporation"
The statement that the Fairmount Coal
company had acquired control of the
Northwestern Fuel company came in the
form of a Geographic dispatch to L h e
Globe, and the authority quoted was
Charles w. Watson, president of the
Paramount Coal company.
The airmount company is said to have
a capital of S1200o,OOO, and has offices in
all of the principal cities of the United
States.
The dispatch referred TO above stated
that Mr.. Watson had said that the two
companies together would be able to
handle 100000 tons of coal year. 1t
was also stated that E. N. Saunders
would remain as president of the North
western, and Mr.. Watson president of the
Paramount company.

AFTER GIRLS SCHOOL
REPRESENTATIVES, MOVES HERE TO
FURTHER CLAIMS OF
CARLETON
IDEAL SITE Is OFFERED
Contention of Red Wing That Ansti-
tuition Cannot Legally Be Locat-
ed Elsewhere Is Pro-
nOunced Absurd.

Representative NoyeS, Of Barnurn, is In
the city to confer with the board of con-
troll relative to the location of the state
girls training school. He comes in the
interest of Carleton. Mr.. Moves says
that Carleton has many things to reconl-
mend it in the fight, and, among these,
he mentioned the water supply, which he
says is as good as any in the state. The
drainage of tie city which is offered is
faultless and many other things go to
make it a desirable location. Mr.. Noyes
says that in. view of the fact that there
is no state institution In that part Of
the state except the reformatory at ST.
Cloud and the normal school at Duluth
the claims of that section should be re-
ceived with consideration.
When asked about the claims Of the
Red Wing people in regard to the act
which appropriated money for the school
having no repeating clause in it and for
that reason the law which located the
boys training school at Red Wing would
compel the board of control to locate the
girls school at the same place, Mr.. Noyes
said that the decision of the supreme
court in the case of School District No.
1, County of Clay, State of Minnesota
vs. Frank Eekert ct al, killed all the
claims of this kind. The court decides
that in such cases the law is repealed
by implication, and by this it is not
necessary for the act providing for the
girls training school to state that it
should be located at some other point
than Red Wing in order to overcome
the law which located the boys school
at that place. In view of this decision,
Mr.. Noyes says that the contentious of
the Red Wing people are of no effect
and that the board can locate the school
at any point it may choose.
Mr.. Noyes thinks that there Is every
reason for the people of his district to
hope that the school will ultimately be
located at Carleton and that the claims
of that portion of the state will be heard
He says that with the fine quality of
brick which is manufactured near there
and the beautiful site that is offered the
state will be able to build a school at
Carleton of which it may well be proul.

PROF. HAYS CHOSEN
MINNESOTA MAN TO DIRECT I'M
PORTANT AGRICULTURE WORK
IN MIDDLE WEST
TO ORIGINATE WHEAT PLANTS
Will Decide on Variety That Will
Furnish Best Quality and Larg-
est YieId-CO-Opera-
tive Unions.

Word has been received of the appoint
ment of Prof. w NJ Hays of the state
agricultural college, to direct the work
of organizing the state experiment sta
lions of the middle Northwest into co
operative union for the purpose Of i'm
proving the yield and quality of wheat
and other grains, grasses, clovers and
field roots. The section embraces Minne>
sofa, Iowa. Wisconsin and the Dakotas,
and it is desired that many new varieties
of wheat, for example, be originated for
the benefit of the agriculturaliSt.
Under the new arrangement the ex-
pertinent stations of the different states
will each origiate fifty new wheats, and
test them so as to eliminate all but the
five best. These seeds will be exchanged
and further trials conducted. Especial
attention will be directed to developing
new sugar beet varieties, to mature early
and increase the yield per acre. The
farmers of the Northwest who have Ut
dertaken the cultivation Of the sugar
beet, according to reports reaching Sec
rotary Wilson, are finding the bi-product
left after the sugar has been extracted
valuable feed for dairy and other cac-
tie.
The Minnesota station will be expected
to further the new fiber varieties OF
flax, while the Wisconsin station Will
make a speciality of breeding sweet re-
Sstant oats and field peas; the South
Dakota institution, macaroni wheats, etc.
Winter wheat offers a fair test of the
advantages to be derived from the Coop
GRAFTON. The turkey-red wheat, success
fully grown at Ames, Iowa, will be talk
en- to the South Dakota station at Brook
ings, where, after being subjected to Sc
we're freeze, the plants will be permitted
to mature, and the seed from them used
to take the variety still further north to
the Minnesota station, to produce even
harder varieties. By growing the same
stock repeatedly in the northern climates
the hardest plants survive and the va
reties become thoroughbred in hardi-
ness. 1t is found that the winter wares
ties will yield on an average five to ten
bushels more per acre than the spring
varieties.
An attempt will be made to grow alfal-
ia farther north through the work of co.
operating experiment stations. Soy beans
and even COW peas promise to be sue
cess in Wisconsin and Minnesota. The
North Dakota station at Fargo, under
the direction of Prof. Shepperd, is max
ing progress in breeding corn suited to
the Dakotas and Minnesota. The expert,
ments promise not only to develop the
increased yield per acre by producing bet
ter and harder plants, but also new and
important varieties of plants not hereto
fore grown in northern climates.

Some Who Most Need the Facts.


We have more than twice told the read
er of the fact that he or she may per-
haps easily discover the cause of the
daily i'll feeling, and the experiment Is
not difficult to make.
But there are readers who think truths
are for someone else, and not for them
selves.
Some day the oft-told fact will flash
upon us as applicable when the knowl-
edge comes home that day after day
of inconvenience and perhaps of suffer
ing has been endured, the cause not pe>
ing recognized or believed, although we
may have been told the cause many times
over, but never believed it applied to u.s.
1t would startle person to know how
many people suffer because they drug
themselves daily with coffee We re-
peat it, it is a powerful drug, and so af-
fects the delicate nervous system that
disease may appear in any part of the
body, all parts being dependent for health
on a healthy nervous system.
Relief from coffee for thirty days has
cured thousands of people who never
suspected the cause of their troubles.
The use of Postum Food Coffee is OF
great benefit to such, as it goes to work
directly to rebuild the delicate cell struc-
lures from the elements nature selects
for the work Relief from heavy drug
and the taking of proper nourishment Is
the true and only permanent method.

WORKING ON BATHS
IMPROVEMENTS AT HARRIET ARE
BEING RAPIDLY PUSHED TO
COMPLETION
SAND PUMP Is KEPT BUSY
Several New Pools Are Being
Dredged and Level of Low POr-
tiOns of Island Is Be-
ing Raised.

The improvements which DR.. Ohage is
have made at the public baths are being
rapidly pushed to conclusion. A steam
dredge is working night and day in open
ing up the channel near the shore and
in filing up the low places over the face
of the island. Piles have been driven for
two new bath houses on the north shore
just above the present ones, and a new
one for children is nearly completed on
the south shore.
Important changes are being made
along the north shore of the island, the
dredge being used TO take away a point
which projected into the stream just
above the bathing pools. The object Of
this is to make two more pools, and to
let the current flow through the old ones,
so as to remove all the sediment which
settles in the still water that fills them
when the current runs low around the
point. The sand that is removed by the
dredge is being placed on the low spots
in the island and when the work is COM
pleted all parts of the island will be high
and dry above the overflow which for
merly covered the low places.
On the south side of the island the
dredge will also be used, and when the
work there is completed that bank will
be as high as any of the others and the
approach to the water will be abrupt. 1t
is on this shore that the new pool for
children will be made. This side of the
island as it now is, is an unsightly place
and the proposed changes will improve
its general appearance.
While DR.. Ohage has not given out just
what are all the intended improvements
yet it is understood that the new bath
houses on the north side of the island
are for the use of families.
1t is not likely that all the dredging
and work can be completed this fall, but
il everything is favorable, it will be re-
sumed early enough in the spring to
have all In readiness by the time the
water becomes warm enough for bath
irg.

ARREST A REPORTER
A CHARGE OF BLACK
MAIL
RAN FOUL OF DETECTIVES
Newspaper Men Investigating AIIeG-
ed Grating Said to Have Been
offered Bribe to Keep Quiet
Given Marked Money.

AS the result Of a quiet investigation
into the alleged grating" methods of
certain Minneapolis detectives, a reporter
for the Tribune spent several hours in
the lookup last night on a charge OF
blackmail, and another working for the
Times was taken to the same place and
then sent away again owing to lack of
alleged discriminating evidence, his depar-
ture being accelerated by means of the
thick-soled shoes of a sturdy member
of Doc AmeS' force.
1t appears that the reporters had for
some time past been conducting an in-
qu1ry into the means adopted by some Of
the hycops in securing money from diff
ferent parties, and it is understood That
considerable evidence was collected Get
ting wind of this two of the detectives
are said to have approached the repor-
terS early last night, offering them
money to keep what they knew out of
the papers. In order to fasten more Sc
curely the evidence against the officers
the proffered money was accepted and
the reporters repaired to nearby
saloon.
Though they did not know it the money
which had Keen given them was marked,
and they had not been in the saloon long
before three detectives appeared and
Summarily arrested both the newspaper
men. At the station they were first
tabled as held. but later one was re-
leased and kicked out of the place, It is
said, and the other was taken to a cell,
and the charge OF blackmail entered
against him.
The police refused to allow anyone to
see him until an order from Doc Ames
was produced. Later an order was OBJ
tanned from the judge of the municipal
court permitting his release on 500 bail,
which was furnished Immediately.
The case will come up in the municipal
court this morning and is expected to
create a sensation.
All the money given by the detectives
to the two reporters was found on the
