CRIME FORETOLD BY WOMAN
IN A DREAM.
Mrs. Finke Sees Life and Death
Struggle Between Watchman
and Burglar.

Carthage, Mo-, October 1-.Forrest
Mills, near this city, was the scene
of battle with burglars laet night.
The Touring mills are owned by
Rudolph Finke of Carthage, and
Mrs. Finke, who was entirely out of
possible hearing distance, dreamed
of the affair while it was happening.
Mrs Finke related her strange
dream at the breakfast table that
morning and when her husband
drove out to his establishment later
in the morning he learned that such
struggle as his wife had dreamed
of had really taken place.
Mrs. Finke said she dreamed that
the night watchman at the mill had
a man by the throat and was just
about to hurl him backwards over
a cliff. It was just here that she
awakened and the clock in the room
struck 8.
The night watchman had heard
some one trying to get into the
building and slipping quietly to
the place saw the intruders. He
opened FIRE upon them, emptying
his revolver. He returned to the
mill Office to reload his pistol and,
glancing at the time piece noticed
1t was just 5 O'Clock.
The Finke family is one of the
best in the country and far from
superstitions.

OUR UNIVERSITY

In his address to the university gradu-
ates, yesterday, President Northrop re-
ferred to the Introduction into literature
of the term projected efficiency which
is declared by some to be phrase des-
tined to take its place for expressive
ness along with natural selection" and
the survival Of the httest."
These 435 graduates represent the
projected efficiency of the University
OF Minnesota for the current year; and
each year this great institution is add
ing to the number of those who have
been trained for life's work under the
best possible conditions, and who are
going out to perform that work as oc-
casion requires and opportunity permits.
1t must be a proud day for any man at
the head of an institution like the Uni
clusion of ears work and send out
into the ranks of activity and accom-
plishment new contribution to trained
and educated energy, prepared to con-
tribute to the advancement of social
progress. There is satisfaction in the
ing There is pleasure for the honest
and enthusiastic worker in the completion
of good days work, whether it be in
the shop or the office. President North
rop is entitled to his day of satisfaction
and pleasure. Supported by the regents
and his faculty, and sharing with them
the credit, he has projected the efficiency
Of the university through these 435
graduates into influential walks Of life,
and has contributed. again in large
measure. to the number Of those who
shape the destiny of the state and do the
work which the men and women Of to-
day are called upon to perform.
Minnesota is proud of her university,
and has reason to be proud. The uni
versity, too, has been most generously
treated by the state. Liberal appropria-
tions and generous revenues from regular
forms of taxation and from lands allot-
ted are building up here an Institution
which in point of equipment will be sec
>ond to none in this country. Established
here in the great northwest, the inf1u-
ence Of this important center Of learning
cannot be overestimated. Its fprojected
efficiency will be felt in all the, life of
the people.

WHAT IRRIGATION MAY Do

The growing consciousness of the pub
lie that free public land that can be salts
factorily cultivated without irrigation is
practically all gone, coupled with the
knowledge that our population is increas-
ing as rapidly as ever-at the rate Of
about 1900 day-is bound to make the
irrigation question one Of the greatest
confronting the nation. Happily 1t will
probably not become party question. At
present there is little sectionalism in
yolved, but that will not last long A ma
ton that adds 100000 to its population
every ten years cannot overlook ! any
measure that will tend TO provide the
newcomers with homes and distribute
population equally. =
It is estimated that successful irriga-
ton under the auspices Of the national
government would make cultivable and
productive 60,O0o,O00 acres Of land-a fifth
more than the entire area OF Minnesota
and about four times as much as is ac-
tually under the pillow in Minnesota at
present: ,. 49, - -. -
In recent speech Congressman New
lands of Nevada gave it as his judgment
that these 60,ooo,0Oo acres would support
directly an agricultural population Of TO-
100000 or 12,Oo0,0 900, and nonagricultural
population, dependent on the farms, of
about as many more. This total Of about
25,o0o,ooo might, he thought, be ultimately
increased to 3o,ooo,ooo or. 40, 900 900. s q -
Mr.. Newlands also points out what is
sometimes overlooked, that irrigation
means much for the great cattle ranges
as we'll as for the actually cultivated
regions watered by the irrigation bitches.
1t will bring ample supplies Of water into
districts that have an abundance of grass
but lack water for the cattle to drink. The
growth of agricultural and commercial
communities and the consequent building
of railways will open up new mineral
regions. Increased activity in mining and
in stock raising will give employment to
many millions. -
Thus it is by no means impossible that
the bringing under irrigation Of all the
available lands may provide for the sup
port Of as many people as there were in
| the whole nation in $780,

STRIKES ARE THE pUBLlC's BUSINESS

The multiplication of strikes reminds
US once more that labor troubles are
always more pronounced in good than in
bad times. "A succession Of strikes Is an
unfailing sign of good times. In good
times the profits of business enterprises
increase and the cost of living goes up.
The workmen call for their share Of the
prosperity If they do not get what they
think is fair portion of the increased
earnings they strike
Yet it is possible that the incident will
yet become greater than the main action
and that strikes may destroy that. pros
perity of which they are born. The peo-,
pie at large do not wish to have the good
times marred. They do. not like to see
mills shut down and men out of work
when there is SO much to be done and SO
much to be bought. Neither do en-
ployers or men relish suspension OF activ-
ity. -
far more about the relations Of employer
and employee than formerly. The feeling
is becoming general that the public has
far greater direct interest in conflict
between capital and labor than one be-
tween individuals If individuals disagree
justice is done through public agencies in

thousands of men and millions, of dol
lars may be affected by a quarrel be-
tween labor and capital and the state

The growth of this idea of outside in

civic federation's arbitration committee
So far as we have heard no resentment
has been expressed at it for intervening
in any trouble. Neither employer nor
employe has said: %"This is none of your

generally recognized that it is the civic
federation's business, and this recogni-
ton Is on the assumption that the feder-
