Special to The Journal.
Nebraska City, Neb., Aug. 1.-The Argo
starch works in this city, employing 300 to
400 hands, and one Of the largest plants in
the country, has been closed indefinitely
by the starch trust. Several weeks ago
the management announced temporary
suspension for the purpose of overhauling
and the order is supplemented by instruc-
lions to dismantle and box the machinery
subject to further instructions from the
head of the Corn Products company in
New York. which owns the plant -
Only score Of Workmen have employ

The Argo factory was founded several
years ago by the. late J. Sterling Morton,
secretary of agriculture during the last
Cleveland administration. In the presi-
Dental campaign Of 1900 it was merged
into the National Starch company, later
passing into the control of the Corn Pro-
ducts company.
The democratic attorney general
brought suit before the Nebraska supreme
court attacking the transfer to the Ma
tional Starch company, averring that it
was in violation of the state antitrust law.
The suit hung on for several months until
he was out of Office and his republican
successor had it dismissed.

Tacoma, WASH, Aug. 1.-The wheat har-
vest has begun in scattered localities in
the eastern part Of the state, and by Aug.
5 will be general in the Big Bend. the
Palouse and the Walla Walla countries
The yield promises to be equal, and some
think it will exceed that OF last year,
which was phenomenal The 1901 crop is
placed at 80, 900, 900 bushels, about S,00O,-
900 more than the average Of previous
years. 1t Is not generally believed that
the yield to the acre will be greater than
last year, but the increased acreage will
make up any deficiency which may exist

Growing wheat was never matured under

has been beneficial to It's growth, and the
yield this year will be the second largest,
il not the largest, ON record; Farmers all
through the eastern part Of the state are well
pleased with prospects. The Big, Bend and
the Palouse sections are about equal In pro-
duction usually, though the Palouse is per-

wheat comes into practically clean ware

Prices for the product promise to be at
least fairly good. Wheat Is now quoted at
from 81 cents to e. cents a bushel, about 10
cents higher than last year at the CORE
spending time. Then the additional fact
exists that freight rates and cargoes are no.
ticeably lower this year. Consequently pros
poets for marketing the crop at a decided
profit are good. Thousands Of men will be
needed in the wheat districts for harvest
1t is little too early to tell exactly the
quality of the new wheat. In some fields II
is said the smut is worse than usual, though
1t is not likely this is true generally. The
favorable conditions should result in an ex'
ceptionally good wheat berry.

A most unusual case of false imprison-

Denmark. In 1898 Paul Chr. Madsen, a

the crime, but told various stories, some
times duplicating his wife, but finally
acknowledge that he alone was guilty.
He was senE.aced to prison with four
periods of five days each on bread and
water. A year ago it was discovered, how.
ever, that the real incendiary was a stable
boy by the name of Jorgen Jensen. Paul

In these days, when the camera misses
nothing, it may seem hardly credible that
there is, only one king in the world who
has been photographed wearing his crown.
Yet it Is so. King Oscar is the exception.
No more democratic king sits on throne
than he and his memoirs, which he Is
writing for posthumous publication, will
probably be more appreciated by, ordinary
folk than the memoirs Of royalty usually
are. They will tell, perhaps, on the sau-
thority Of the king himself of his meeting
with NJ CASTOR BONNER, the famous boz
tanist, whom. the king met ;botanizing
near Stockholm, when out himself on a
similar occupation. Their mutual interest
led to conversation and M. BONNER, not
recognizing the king, suggested e lunch
