1NFATUAT1oN AND MURDER.

One of the Most Cold-Blooded MUIR
ers Michigan Has Ever Known.
Grand Rapids, Mich, March 9.-The
latest developments in the investisa-
ton into the death Of Mrs. Ada Klump.
the young wife Of William Klump of
Lowell, point to one of the most cold
blooded murders Michigan has ever
known. After n diligent inquiry into
the circumstances Of the case, Sheriff
Chapman took William Klump into
custody and lodged him in jail here.
The officers express the belief that
Kiumr either sent poisoned powders
through the mail himself, or knew who
did send them, and that the main OBJ
ject was the removal of Mrs. Klump.
A motive is found for the alleged crime
in the story that Klump was infatu-
ated with another woman, a widow,
whom, it is ALI ged, he had agreed to
marry.

Winter Wheat and Clover Damaged
- I'm WiscOnsin.
Appleton, Wis.,, March 9. - The un-
favorable weather Of the past month
has caused considerable anxiety among
the formers of this part of the state
who are of the opinion that most Of
their clover has been killed. The hay
crop last year was a very light one.
and as a result many of the farmers
were compelled to winter less stock
than was their custom other years. A
large acreage was seeded down last
year and 1t is this that has suffered
greatly from the continued freezing
and thawing and from the lack Of
sbcw protection during the winter.
Hay and oats command a very high
price at present.

respondent that all the important
Spanish newspapers are discussing the
possible necessity Of %prolonging the

letter, to be composed Of the queen re-
gent, the presidents Of the cortes, the
archbishop Of Toledo and the express
ident of the council Of ministers. An
other version Of the story is that the
queen regent is to prolong her regency
for five years in order to enable the
king to complete his education by
travel, etc. The correspondent con-
cludes his letter. by saying that the
censo stops all kilograms on this sub
ject.

VIOLATION OF SHERMAN LAW
THEORY Iron WHICH THE ATTOR-
NSY GENERAL BASES HIS
CASE.
nll PRESENT FACTS ONLY
MERGER PLANS TO DESTROY COM
PETITION IN INTERSTATE
COMMERCE.

Washington, March 9. - The suit
against the Northern merger will be
begun in the United States district
court at st. Paul, and the bill prepared
by the department Of justice has been
forwarded to the United States attor-
ney in hat district to be filed Monday.
The bill is not a long or complicated
one. Attorney General Knox and So
licitor General Richards decided to
make the complaint o. the %organiza-
ton Of the Northern Securities COM
pany as in violation of the Sherman
antitrust law. They will attempt to
show that the organization of this
company is in violation Of law and for
the purpose Of
Destroying Competition
in. interstate commerce, because 1t
seeks to take control Of all the stock
of the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern railways. The position Of the
departing emf of justice is that If the
Northern merger is legal all railway
combinations and pools will be legal.
and there is no way to prevent h con-
solidation of all the railways in the
United States. The attack, therefore,
will be on the act Of consolidating the
stock as an indirect means of CONSOLE
dating the control of the railways and
destroying competition. The bill will
not
Go INTO the Details
Of what has been done toward destroy
ing competition, but present the facts
as to the means of defeating the Law.
If the counsel for the Northern Securi-
ties company admit the facts presented
in the government bill there may be no
long arguments, but the question Of
law left to the court TO secure an early
decision and bring it to a final settle
ment before the supreme court. If the
counsel for the merger do not admit
the facts and arguments are to be pre-
scented, Solicitor General Richards and
probably Attorney General Knox will
go to st. Paul to take part in the pre-
sentation Of the governments case.

BEST CHANCE IN THE WORLD.
North Dakota's Dairy Prospects Are
Bright

North Dakota's Dairy Prospects Are
Bright.
North Dakota buttermakers will soon
be pushing the Minnesota creamery
producing the best American butter,
according to Creamery Inspector B. D.
White, Of the Minnesota Dairy and
Food department. Mr.. White recently
made an extended trip to the west. of
Bismarck. He was asked to score but
ter contests organized by South Dakota
buttermakers, and had a fair chance to
size up the situation.
1.-THE land in the western part of
North Dakota" said Mr.. White, lis well
adapted to cattle raising. The milk
from the cows is abundant in quantity
and very rich in butter fats. There IS
also something about the climatic con-
ditions there especially favorable to
the making of fine butter. The butter
makers. however, nave rot as yet at
tanned sufficient skill to bring out all
the latest possibilities. Had they the
skill in manufacturing butter exhibited
by Minnesota creamery men, they
would make the best butter in the
country. They will soon have the ben
eft of skill, as they are importing but
telmakers from Minnesota to run their
.reameries."
1.-THE farmers in North Dakota" con.
tinued Mr.. White, have taken up
stock raising, and many creameries are
being started. One Of these creameries
to be started will he fifty miles from q
railroad. There are several operated at
a distance Of thirty miles from a rail-
road. The butter is hauled in by team
for shipment. The North Dakotans are
enthusiastic about their new and fast.
growing industry.
There is great activity among farm
ers in the northern part OF the state.
who are interested in icreameries. They
have discovered that they should raise
something besides wheat, and are go.
ing largely into stock raising"
