Japanese Wives.
The Japanese woman does not black
en- her teeth under any mistaken idea
that it makes her attractive; she does
It to make herself unattractive. Her
husband is supposed to know her val
ue. If he doesn't, be divorces her. He
makes no provision for her, and she
bus no dowry from her family. But
divorced woman in japan nearly al
ways marries again. She brings moth
Ing but gentle and obedIent slave
aud takes nothing away with her but
the same valuable commodity.
The reason why lower class women
receive more consideration from their
husbands than their upper class sis
tiers is that they are capable OF earning
their own llvings, which japanese la
dies are not. So thoroughly is this rec
ognized that lower class woman d.
vorces her husband If she is not salts
fed, a thing which never happens in
the more select circles unless the wom-
m is an heIress when the husband is
Of rs little consideration us lady. 1t
is only when she has no brothers that
a Japanese woman may expect money
from her parents. If they have only a
daughter to leave their money to. the
son.in-law has to take her name-and
the consequences.

GOING VIA CANADA
New Routes for Expectation Of
r Breadstuffs.
CANADIANS ARE HUSTLING
Treasury Bureau OF Sta
- tistics.

From Tho journal Bureau, Room Is, Pos5
Bustdtna. Washtnsto'a- 3
Washington, July 1.-THE millers and
wheat growers OF the northwest need not
off in exports of breadstuffs which have
Just been made public by the treasury bu-
reau of statistics. This report shows
that during the year the exports of bread
stuffs decreased $62, ,464,570, the value Of
the exports for 1901 being $267, ,487 239,
and for 1902 $2o5. .022, ,669. The greatest
decrease was in, corn, the value of which
product sent abroad has fallen from $S2,-
$15,226 to SIG, ,0O5. .039, due to the shortage
of the crop. There was decided gain In
the value of wheat exports, from $96 ,339,-
$50 to $112, ,149,1 1888. Flour sent abroad
showed a slight decrease, from $68, ,997, AL
to S64, SSS. due to the increased demand
at home.
The New York Produce Exchange, which
is keeping a close watch of the export
grain and flour trade, thinks that the
falling off in the American exports of
these articles is due to the wonderful de-
velopment in recent years of Canadian
points of export. The decrease Of New
York as an export market for breadstuffs
has been very great in recent years and
this decrease is taken there to mean
that the American export of breadstuffs
trade as whole is decreasing. The bulk
of the American crop now goes abroad, say
the New York exporters, by way OF Cam
ada. Once New York exported more grain
than all other American ports combined.
Last week Montreal exported S5 per cent
more than New York. The changing con-
ditions are pointed out in New York as
due to unusual energy and enterprise on
the part OF Canada.

On Thursday the real estate men took
a drive through the eighth and thirteenth

city met at the West hotel at II 80, from
which point the start was made. The
drive led up Lowry hill, where the atten-
tion of the brokers was called to the fine
paving and the condition of the boule-
Yards. Passing through Green's addition
and Kenwood, a stop was made at Island
park, where it was explained to the mem
bers that the property was being ex-
plotted under the management Of its own

900 in grading the high lots into the low
lots and in making q fine piece of resi-
dence property out Of what was ordinary

flowers and old oaks = rs-L[.,

Famous Straddle Plank Nearly
Beaten in Committee.
THE FIRST VOTE WAS "a TIE
An Hour spent In winning over An-
other Man-Memberss Did Not
Know All the Facts.

Far from subsiding with the lapse Of
time, indignation over the Cuban plank
in the republican state platform is In
5creasing Instead of cooling off, repub-
licans who support President Roosevelt
in his demand that something be done
for Cuba are getting hotter.
It now develops that the approval of the
put up resolutions committee was Sc
cured by the barest majority.
If we had known then what We know
now said one of the committee to- day,
1--WE never would have let that Cuban
plank go through. We did not know until
we. read It afterWard In T he Jeu r
n that our house members actually
voted against the bill, after it had been
amended to meet theirs objections.
Seven members OF the committee never
showed up. They knew the platform was
cut and dried and thought there was no
use losing their lunch hour to hear 1t
threshed over. But even then we had a
lively time, and when 1T came to vote
on the Cuban plank, seven of us voted
against the tstraddle...E The vote on the
adoption! OF that plank was tie, to 4.
It was an hour before we could get the
vote announced, and I'm that time United
States Marshal Grimshaws and Congress-
man Stevens went after us hammer and
topgs. They finally won over one man and
Grimshaw announced the vote, s to 8.
We were It'd that there was n real diff
ference between the president and the
insurgents, and though<we did not believe
that, we were not In position to dis
pute 1t successfully because we were not
In possession Of all the facts. II we
had known what we know row,35the Cuban
plank would have been;s straight in
dorsement of the presidents policy. That
really ought to have satisfied the dele
gates If they agree with the president, as
they say they do. $50 s.~@s, 9

Will Visit Twin Cities the Week
of the Fair
AND THE GOOD ROADS CONVENTION
Plan to Bring Good Roads Train Re-
vived-Proposal Made to Great
Northern.

Senator Marcus Aurelius Hanna, who
has been more often cartooned than any
other man now in the public eye, with the
possible exception of the German en-
peror, will visit Minneapolis the week of
the state fair. The senator will come with
Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson,
and will attend good roads convention

reau OF road inquiry, department of agri-
culture, arrived this morning. They had
a long talk with County Surveyor G. w.
Cooley, and this noon ,lunched with Wal
lace G.. Nye at the Comm ercial club.
To Mr. Nye they explained that the de-
partment OF agriculture had had many
requests to send what is known as the
good roads" train into the northwest;
and they requested him to interest the
club In the matter. Mr.. Cooley, who has
lcng been leader in local good roads
movements, is much interested in bring
ing the train here, and says there is ev-
cry indication that the project will be
carried through successfully.
Martin Dodge, director of the bureau
of road inquiry, department of agricul-
ture, called upon the Great Northern Of
flcials and laid before them project to
week. and from here to run it west to the
coast over the Great Northern. Final
arrangements were not made but the Of

LIKE JONAH'S S GOURD.
Directory Folk Say the City Is
Growing Rapidly.
INCREASE IN EVERY DISTRICT
The, Greater Number OF Names May
Delay the Appearance of
5ss the Book.

Minneapolis Is growing so fast that the
directory folks are having trouble in get
ting out their annual edition. They can't
understand it. For the first time in de-
cade the city has recorded an increase in
every one OF the 157 districts into which
it Is divided. and the increase+for the en-
tire city will be little short, of marvellous.
J.. C. F. Ely, manager, said this morn
ing that the book would not be out before
Aug. /. He added that the increase in
population had been SO great that he
could not even estimate it, and predicted
that the figures. when published, would
recall boom days,
This is all the more remarkable from
the fact that, the growth in St. Paul has
been only normal. There the directory
canvass has already been completed and
shows a gain OF 1852 names over that of
1901. In Minneapolis the gain will be sew
eral times that. The gain in Minneapolis
last year was 2,325. Using the Gust omary
multiple of IN, the directory
then indicated a population of
$685. ,043. The same multiple ap-
piled to the fort heoming directory will
give Minneapolis population Of more
than quarter of million.

WHY SHADOW LINK
Minneapolis Police Have a Man on
Crossman's Trail.
sLEUTH NELSON'S FUTILE CHASE
He Goes to- Aberdeen While Cross
man Is Here-Captain Hill
Is Puzzled.

Why are the Minneapolis police follow
ing Link" Crossman?
That Is just what they are doing,
though Crossman is mot charged with any
offense. He is the man who lately testi-
fed in Fred Ames' trial that he had
bribed the chief.
But he appedrs to have mystifle[ the
sleuths of the Minneapolis department.
He was reported to have left the city
some days ago, and Charles Nelson, the
sleuth- musician, was hot on the trail In
stanter.
This morning Crossman was reported to
have been arrested at Aberdeen, S. D.,
and the headquarters men were visibly
elated. Soon, however, the bubble was
pricked, for Crossman himself was seen
on the streets of Minneapolis, and called
on Captain Alexander at the Jail In the
course of the morning. p
Captain Hill promptly wired Nelson at
Aberdeen: "Wilson and Crossman came
in this morning from Aberdeen. What
does this mean?" He also wired Nelson
SIS for expense money.
Captain Alexander shas plausible ex-
planation Of the police departments
actions. He is positive the police are
trailing Crossman to put him in the
hole,'' Crossman lives by his wits, and 1t
is the plan to follow him till it is pos
sible to have him Jailed by the shadow
on any sort of charge. Then, when he Ia
needed at some subsequent trial, he will
be prisoner outside the state and not
available as witness. To Captain Alex
ander this seems the only way to account
for the police activity over man who
isn't wanted; 1T Is also tacit admission
that Crossman Is in the habit Of telling
the truth on the stand, and Is dangerous
man to the corruptionists. .sss.es
Crossman said this morning that he had
been to Aberdeen but did not know he
was shadowed, nor had he had any trouble
with the police there. Captain Hill's tel
egraphic query: What does this mean?'
indicates that the police department ex-
pected something to happen to Crossmar
at Aberdeen. e.a.z,. ~ s.ze. ~; -

LOCK AND STAR
Combination Nearly Causes a Far

~ mer to Lose $40.
!. John Williams was arraigned in police
court this morning charged with attempt
ing to swindle Edward Meyer. farmer
lad from near Madison, Wis, out of $40.
He pleaded not guilty and the case was
set for Tuesday. II. !
Meyer says a stranger met him near the
courthouse yesterday and engaged him in
conversation. The stranger produced a
lock of such peculiar construction that it
could be opened by pushing small slide.
After few minutes Williams came up and
the stranger showed him the lock and of
fered to bet he could open it in ten Sec
onds. When an offer was made to bet on
the opening Of the lock, Williams showed
a star and threatened to arrest the men
for being sharpers. Both protested their
innocence but the man was obdurate and
declared he would take them to the police
station. Meyer exhibited $40 in bills. AS
soon as Williams saw the money, says
Meyer, he grabbed at it. -.
Stranger No. got away, but Meyer fol-
lowed Williams when he attempted to
run. The crowd followed and Former Po-
lice Sergeant Gustafson succeeded in cap
turing the man after chase of several
blocks. Williams and his partner are
thought to be the men who swindled
Thomas Burns Of Toronto, Can, out Of
$63 by means of card game few days
ago. K
Charles Carter, said to be the third man
in the case, was arrested late to-day.

MAY NEVER RISE -
Police Despair of Recovering {
- Body From Calhoun.

The police are still searching for the
body of R. w. Emerson, who was drowned
in Lake Calhoun July 4. Captain c.. R.
Hill said to-day that the search would be
continued until Saturday night, and if
the body was not recovered in that time
the matter would be abandoned -. -
In 1853 a man, wife and two children
were drowned in Lake Calhoun and their
bodies were never recovered The same
thing has occurred in other drowning
cases in the lake since that time. It is
believed that the bottom in places is COW
cred with quicksand and that the bodies
sink into 1t to such a depth that they
never rise again. -. - 4:

Attorney General Says the Federal
EE License Does Not Give Immu-
- .~~a nifty From State LAW

Attorney General Douglas holds that the
government oleo law does not in any way
conflict with the Minnesota laws already
in force. Makers and sellers Of butter sub
stitutes must pay a government license,
but this does not give them any Immunity
from the stringent laws of Minnesota. He
has advised the dairy and food department
as follows: Is
.In my opinion uncolored butterine and
oleomargarine may be sold In the state if
the laws with reference to the sale OF
oleomargarin are complied with"
The laws Of the state require that where
any butter substitute Is sold or served
the customer must be notified of the fact
by placard, or by note on the printed
menu card. Another act absolutely forbids
the sale Of coloredS Soleomargarin.

he will be in possession Of facts that

YELLOWSTONE ATTRACTS MANY
Others Will Remain in Minneapolis
or Visit the Lake Region of
Northern Minnesota. s.

Every passenger train leaving Mime
apolis to-day had it's quota of teachers
and other N. e. A. members. The special
excursions and the half rates over the
transcontinental routes attracted many to-
ward Yellowstone park and wonderlands
of the west coast. Over 5000 took ad
vantage Of the special inducements for
trips on the Soo- Pacific route the North
ern Pacific and the Great Northern.
More than half as many more have con-
3cluded that Minnesota offers about as
fine a climate and as fine scenery as can
be found and will tarry in Minneapolis or
In Minnesota's famous park region. The
associations joint ticket agent reported
that about $500 extensions had been Sc
cured on tickets, indicating that that
many visitors would remain in this vicin-
ity. Hundreds who have got a glimpse OF
Minnetonka have decided to spend a week
or two at that resort.
The remarkably fine weather has had
much to do with keeping people in Min
nesota. Small parties left to-day on vari-
GUS short side trips. The first of the long
excursion parties left Wednesday night
when the personally conducted party OF
125 organized by the Pennsylvania left for
the Yellowstone. The Northern Pacific
took a trainload to the park Thursday and
another special was crowded last evening.
The New York Central party Of ninety
two also left last night.
The excursions of the Chicago Teachers
Federation will leave this evening on the
Great Northern flyer for coast points.
This party numbers forty, under the di-
rection Of Mary p. Squiers, editor of the
Teachers Federation Bulletin. Some of
this party intend visiting Alaska on the

The Milwaukee Teachers association is
ALSO bound for the park.
The scientific excursion conducted by
Professor Conway Mcmillan Of the uni
versity will leave Monday morning The
party to be directed by Miss Martha s.
Anderson Will leave for the Yellowsto one
park this evening.
One of the most attractive side trips
was that on which party left the Union
station this morning over the Great
Northern for the new national park and
forest reserve Just created by congress
at the headwaters of the Mississippi on
Leech lake. A ten days trip was planned
with the privilege of an extension and re
turn by way OF Duluth. The party was
In charge of DR.. Leo Crafts
Miss EstelIe Reel, superintendent of In
dian education, was in this party, and
will make a personal study OF Indians at
the reservations.
Notwithstanding the confusion which
prevailed at the West hotel this morning,
where the different state delegations were
busy abandoning their quarters and get
ting together their belongings, prominent
educators found time to say nice things
about the way in which Minneapolis had
handled the convention. All declared that
the convention was in many respects the
most successful gathering Of the associa-
tion on record.
