Lewis A. Olney. OF Lowell professor OF
chemistry at the Lowell Textile school,
testified that he had made numerous
examinations of rim fire cartridges and
found In every intsance traces or tin.
The testimony was introduced by the de-
fence TO contradict that OF Prof. Wood for
the government, that he found no tin In

The only question asked in croSs-exam-

found a bullet which had gone through
bones and was not fiattened he would not
be convinced that such a thing might not
happen. Witness said he would have
to be.
At this point the defense rested its case
and the government began its evidence in
rebuttal.

WANTS HIS MONEY.
Contractor Michael King is After
The Gulf & Manitoba.

Michael King Of DesMoines, Iowa,
the contractor on the grading of
what is known as the Gulf & Mani
toba railroad, extending from the
Minneadolis & st. Louis track at
North Red wood to within short
distance of Beaver Falls, came up
from his Iowa home on Thursday
last.
The company owes Mr.. King be-
tween So, 1000 and So, 600 for carrying
on the work Of grading, and Mr..
Kings mission here was to consult
with an attorney in regard to plac-.
ing lien on the few miles of grade
track, etc., that have been complet-
ed. A similar lien has already been
placed on the line by John Graham
of Minneapolis, for, material fur
nished, and Mr.. Graham is now
seeking to foreclose the lien. His
attorney is Mr.. Longbrake OF Min
neapolis.
Attorneys are of the opinion that
Mr.. Kings claim cannot be put in
the shape of a lien, for the reason
that he has allowed too much time
to elapse between the date perform
ing the last work, and the date Of

BOUNTY INVALID.

The sugar bounty law has been
declared unconstitutional by Attor-
ney General Douglas. He handed
down an opinion Wednesday sus-
tanning Auditor Dunn in his refusal
to pay over the States money. The
decision is of far reaching impor-
lance, involving not only the ques
ton of paying the bounty claimed
by the Minnesota Sugar Co., but the
matter Of encouraging the sugar beet
industry in the State.
The sugar company has for some
time been clamoring for bounty Of
$4,000, under the legislative act
which gives bounty of [ cent a
pound, the purpose being to foster
the industry in this state. The beet
sugar industry is new in this. as well
as in a good many other north yes
tern states, the farmers in every
county are interested.
Some time ago the question Of the
legality OF bounty law arose in the
state Of Minnesota, and there the
attorney general decided against it.
The decision called the attention Of
State Auditor Dunn and other state
officials to the law in this state.
The auditor decided not to pay the
bounty until it was determined
whether or not he had a right to do
so. AS result the sugar company
will have to go without bounty.

chanic lien would have to be filed
within go days from the date of per-
forming the last work or furnishing
the last article,-in order to be valid.
and it is believed that the same rule
applies to work on the railroad.
Mr.. King states that before leav-
ing DesMoines he was importuned
by Samuel Compton, secretary of
the company, to take no legal action
in the matter. Mr. Compton re-
newed the story that the officers OF
the company still had hopes of pull
ing the company out of the ditch OF
financial EMBARRASSMENT, and Of con
structing the line, but Mr.. King
felt that he had waited long enough
and proposed to look up the matter
of a forced payment by legal pro
cedure. He is owing some OF his
employees and he is as anxious to
pay them as he is to get the money.
Personally Mr.. King believes that
unless the construction company,
headed by Mr.. Powers Of Chicago,
makes the raise of the money need
ed for the enterprise, and which it
has been claimed the company had
raised, a probably false claim, the
line would Eever be built, but the
present grade would be allowed to
grow to weeds and stand as a me-
mortal to the railroad heads OF
Messrs. Carpenter and Campbell.
Speaking of the new railroads be-
ing started in the State. one of the
dalies says: "a more pretentious
new line has just begun work in
this State. This is the Gulf & Man.
ito'2a, to cross the southern border
south of Jackson, to run to Sank
Center, I67 miles. The charter has
been extended to make this road rur
south to Kansas City and northeast
to Duluth. It is positively asserted
that this line has secured financial
backing.

NO. 163 WHEAT.
Bulletin No. 8 Regards it the Wheat
for Minnesota Farmers.

In 1899 and 1900 the Minnesota
Experiment. station distributed sew
eral hundred bushels of Minnesota
No. 1853 wheat. This is a hard fife
wheat, which at the University
farm during the past six years has
averaged two or five bushels per
acre more than the best fife and blue
stem varieties commonly used in
Minnesota.
This wheat was originated by a
system of rigid breeding by selec-
tion begun in 1869. During the
first two years only one seed was
planted in hill, that the best plants
might be chosen. The yield in the
above table was recorded under
conditions of soil and field manage
ment no better than on many. of the
best farms of Minnesota. No com
mercial fertilizers we're used. The
fact that these comparative large
yields represent six annual crops,
1895, 6, Z, 8, 9 and 1900, is conclu-
sive proof that the soil was only
moderately MANFRED with stable
manure, because during some of
these years heavy manuring would
have caused the loss of crops by
lodging. Under these conditions
common stocks of fife and blue stem
wheats yielded about % bushels
per acre while Mimi. No. 1853 wheat
yielded 20 bushels.
The averages Of two milling and
four baking tests show that MINI.
No. 1853 wheat is identical with our
best No. | hard wheat in selling
quality, in milling quality and in
baking quality,
Every one who has this wheat
should raise and sell it for seed that
every farmer may have seed of it.
No other wheat has such pedigree
Of actual performance as to yield Of
grain and money value per acre in
Minnesota. Other of our new
wheats are pressing it hard; some
which promise to surpass it in value
are now under test at University
Farm, but at present this wheat
should be the most in demand O.
any wheat in Minnesota. Every
farmer or seed dealer who is so for
tunate as to have some of this SEED
to sell should have no trouble ir
selling it at a profit.
Its yielding quality warrants as
high in price as any seed wheat
ever offered to the farmers of Min
nesota. The figures as to yielc AND
quality of this wheat at the Mime.
sofa Experiment station warrant
our giving it our full and unquali
fed endorsement It may not dc
we'll on all soils, probably will not
but it is worthy of extensive tria]
in every county in Minnesota, and
it will doubtless be 8 valuable &C,
QUESTION to surrounding States. In
counties where it succeeds as well
as at University farm, it should
gradually take the lead over the
wheat commonly grown. A wheat
does not always yield well the first
year on a new soil.
Taking the figures Of the Expert.
ment Station at their face value, as
we do, it is reasonable to hope that
this variety. if generally used, es.
pecially in Southern Minnesota
would increase the average yield
wheat on our farms at least one
bushel per acre. If this can be
true, every bushel of this wheat
now in existence and in good con
dition for seed is worth very much
more than seed growers and dealers
are asking for it.

IN COLORADO.

To THE EDITOR While riding on
a Union Pacific train, aud about 9O
or 100 miles east of Denver, we
could see the snoW-capped Rocky
Mountains, looking like large clouds
skirting the western horizon. We
watched them with interest, and as
we neared to within about so miles
of Denver they certainly looked
beautiful In Denver we were told
that to the nearest point of the
range it was II miles. So clear is
this atmosphere that it really looked
to US as if we could walk to the foot
of the mountains in about an hour
Denver is beautiful city, with
fine large buildings, and elegant
streets We left Denver over the
Colorado & Southern railroad
road crooked enough to break a
snakes back, particularly if be had
kidney trouble, and yet the train
makes the "a miles between Denver
and the Springs in two hours and a
quarter. You can imagine that one
does not sleep sound, while making
the journey. The cars creak and
groau in going around the curves,
and one thinks that every minute is
his last, SO terrible is the sway.
We have been here over week
now, and we are getting acclimated
some. We tramp around the city,
go to the depot when the weather is
rough, and look at the traffic that
the railroads have. It is immense.
On Dec. 22d, at the Rock Island de-
pot, special train of five coaches,
loaded with young men-soldiers en-
route to the Philippine Islands.
stopped ten minutes. These boys
were to take the place of some of
the volunteers yet in the Islands.
Sunday was a lonely day and
quite cold. We walked several
miles, and went around the Nation
al Printers Home. 1t is a fine
building, beautifully located, in full
view Of any part of the city. In the
afternoon a stock train with IA
double-decked cars loaded with
sheep, went north. The train con-
tanned $500 sheep-a flock that
would look large in Minnesota, but
of small proportions here, this being
a stock country, and the difference
here between stock and farming is
about the same as the difference be-
tween stock and farming in Mime
sofa.
We are enjoying a blizzard today.
It. has been showing in the noun
tains, and the wind sends this down
in q furry through the streets.
This furry is like frost, however,
and it disappears about as fast as it
falls. It has been cold all day,
keeping US indoors most Of the
time.
Yesterday was lovely day. We
were in the Red Rock canon, and
we were visiting with J. E. Kusske,
formerly resident Of Rerville
county. We we're out doors nearly
all the time, without hat or coat on.
The water here is the best in the
United States, coming direct from
Pike Peak, and of the very purest.
