sheet upon an inclined thin iron plate
perforated with round holes at inter
walls nicely determined by experiment,
abundantly large for the passage of
both the oat and the wheat grains if
presented end foremost perpendicular
ly to the plate. But as the plate is in
clined, each berry must be tipped for
ward in order to enter hole. An in
dividual hole is of such diameter that
when the wheat grain, sliding forward,
carries its center of gravity beyond the
support of the upper edge of the hole,
the forward end of the grain has not
reached the lower edge. and thus the
wheat falls through. The oat grain,
however, being longer, is supported by
the forward edge of the hole until the
forward end of the grain reaches the
further edge, and thus the Oat grain
slides down the plate. Fragments of
straw and chaff pass on with the oats
The dust, smut and rust which may
cling to the berry are separated by dis
charging the impure grain into the
space between what may be regarded
as vertical cylinder, the surface of
which is covered with brushes, and a
closely fitting iron case perforated with
numerous Sits or holes which serve the
double purpose Of making the surface
rough and providing an escape for the
separated dust. Round seeds are sep
arated by taking advantage of the SUI
perior velocity they acquire in rolling
down an inclined plane as compared
with the long grains, which slide. The
former leap an opening into which the
latter drop.
By these and kindred processes it is
now practicable to obtain good wheat
from a sample of spring wheat Of
which not more than one-half is fit for

THE BAD BOY.

The bad boy climbs the cherry tree
And eats, and when he's done
Throws cherries at the birds and breaks
The limbs off just for fun;
He knocks the smaller boys around.
And as you madly chase
Him down the, street he hQllers
"Ya-a-a-ar
And makes an ugly face.
The bad boy cuts the hammock ropes
And .sppiIs the fower-bed,
And watches for a chance to push
The good boy from the shed;
The bad boy puts his thumb against
His nose and turns to sass
You when you ask him kindly not
To run across the grass.
The bad boy gets the smaller boys
To IN away to swim,
And while they splash around their
clothes
Are tied in knots by him;
He ducks them till they lose their
breath,
And, while they try to dress.
He spatters them with mud, and thus
Is filled with happiness.
The bad boy likes to torture dogs,
He ties things to their tails.
And what you don't want fastened down
He hammers full OF nails;
He throws things at YOU when you pass,
And if YOU kindly stay
To give him good advice he calls
You names and runs away
The bad boy breaks his mothers heart
And makes his father sad;
Sometimes he changes but too oft
Keeps right on being bad;
And if he docs turn out all right
And go the way he should
He gets three tines the credit that
The boy gets who is good.

Big FiuI of Copper.

The recent find of new vein in the
PROPERTY of the Chippewa Copper Min
ing Company on the Douglas range is
proving to be the biggest thing yet found
in Douglas County in a mineral way. An
assay of some of the rock that was taken
out of the new vein has been made at the
laboratory at the mine. and it shows that
the copper runs at the rate of So per
cent in the vein. There is in addition
gold to the extent of So per ton and sill
yer that runs about So per ton. No as
say was made for nickel, although this
l. tier metal has been found in every

the board of control of the Mankato Pub

man McCleary asking him to communi-
cate with Andrew Carnegie, whose gifts
to public library enterprises have been
large III number and liberal in amount
with view to ascertaining whether Mr.
Carnegie, after a full statement of the
case, would feel warranted in doing any
thing for Mankato.
Mr.. McCleary took the matter up with
Mr.. Carnegie, as requested, and to-day
received that gentleman's reply, which, in
substance. is as follows:
He will give SAC, 900 for a public library
building in Mankato, provided the city
will provide a satisfactory site and guar
antee to raise a permanent annual fund
of $4,000 with which to keep the library
open TO the public
Mankato is now authorized by law to
impose a tax of one mill for library pur-
poses, which will realize just about the
required $4,000.

for their consideration. He feels very

BRYAN ON MONEY BILLS
HE is OPPOSED TO REDEMPTION
There VIII Be Another Endless
Chain, He Thinks, Like That

Washington, Feb. Chairman Southard
of the house committee on coinage to-
day received from William J. Bryan his
view Of the pending bills making the
standard silver dollar redeemable in gold
Mr.. Bryan says in part:
There is no necessity for redemption. The
legal tender law will maintain the parity be-
tween gold coin and silver dollars so long
as both can be used to an unlimited extent
in the payment of public revenues and pri-
vate debts. l should perhaps say that the
parity will be substantially maintained, for
local and temporary conditions may under
any law put small premium upon any kind
Of money.
AS soon as the silver dollar is made re-
deemable in gold, another endless chain will
be created and the arguments used against
the greenbacks and treasury notes will then
be turned against silver. Before the attempt
to burden the gold reserve with this new
obligation is eonsummated. it may be worth

Commission.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal
Washington, Feb. 7.-B. Prom of Milton,
n. D., to-day appeared before the in
dustrial commission and gave some
strong testimony tending to show col
lusion between the line elevators and
railroads running into the wheat belt of
the northwest.
He charged that the railroad companies
refused to supply cars for the movement
of grain from Independent elevators,
forcing farmers to sell their grain to
line" elevators. He says if independent
elevators could send frain directly to
market at Minneapolis and Duluth from
/ to cents more per bushel could be re-
allied by the farmers.
Prom also had a grievance against the
grain inspectors in Minnesota. He tes-
titled that they graded North Dakota
wheat too low, while Minnesota wheat
was graded too high. He stated that
no Dakota wheat averaged a higher grade
than the Minnesota product and that
wheat from his state was used as a
filler" to bring Minnesota flour up to
standard
Prom also charged collusion between
Minnesota, Indianapolis and certain pur-
chasers and cited a case of the rejection

to the jobbers in North Dakota at a lower
grade he was enabled to sell it as No. l.
realizing handsome profit at the expense
of the grower.
Witness was asked whether his state
ments of collusion were simply his per-
sonal opinion or based on evidence. He
replied that they were based on facts
The source of his information he could not
divulge as he was under pledge not to do
so.
He denounced the Minnesota inspection
law and said that the office of grain in
spector should be taken out of politics
Under the Minnesota law the farmers OF
his state were at the mercy of the lnspec-
tors, as appeals from then decisions sell
dom resulted in any change Of grading. He
stated that the way in which justice could
be done wheat raisers Of all the north
western states in the matter Of grain in
spection was to have an interstate inspec-
tlon law covering the states of Minnesota
