4 The strike in the flour mills has thrown
the local freight, terminals into some con-
fusion. The great stream of wheat flow
ing daily to the mills was. suddenly divert
ment to terminal elevators sWe1led enor-
mously. The result has necessitated quick
changes in the methods Of handling the
incoming wheat. Yard men, switching
crews, and unloading gangs have been
shifted about the yards on short notice,
and the men in charge Of the terminals
have been obliged to use great good judg-
ment and to act quickly to avoid conges-
lions in the yards. The elevators mean
while have had their tracks blocked with
numerous cars and have worked late and
early to keep things moving and avoid
a blockade. All interested are co-operat-
ing and this morning the yards were in
good shape considering the situation
~.i Railroad Orders.
The result Of it all has been the issu-
ance OF several orders from the officers Of
managers Of terminals. No Northern Pa
cifc cars will be delivered to connecting
lines until further notice.
Orders sending grain to the Great
Northern, the Minnehaha or the MISSISSIPPI
pi elevators will not be accepted.
No more cars will be accepted for the
Gardner mill at Hastings for the present.

Dispatch association has issued the fol-
lowing notice

please take notice that all cars Of grain
destined for mills affected by the strike
must be attended to at once and DISPOSE

rant sworn out by Charles w. Higgins,
editor Of the Brown County Journal of
this city, Charles Baltrusch and his three
sons were arrested for assault and battery

Mankato, MINI, Sept. 25-The city
council last night brought the lighting
discussion that for years has been bone
of contention among citizens to close
by awarding the street lighting contract
to the Mankato Gas and Electric Light
company for a term Of ten years.
The process are considered to be very
low, being $65 year for one hundred or
more arc lights Of 1000 candle power,
moonlight schedule, and $40 for fifty or
more 32-candle power incandescents.
The company also agrees to reduce the
price of commercial lighting from seven
to nine cents thousand watts and gas
to $1.25 and $1.35. It also agrees that
whenerv the city puts in a municipal
plant, it will surrender its lighting con-
tract, and whenever a street railway is
built it will turn over it's contract to
the street car company. Thus every objec-
ton of the opponents of the long time
contract was met.

Special to The Journal.

Buffalo. Sept. 25.-The Times says:
Buffalo's grain traffic is slipping away
from her and going to Canada. For many
years, one of the chief industries at this
port has been the transfer OF grain. The
grain. business built up Buffalo and was
responsible for the construction Of half

the docks
For the last five or. six years all this
has been decreasing. Five or six years
ago over 24o, O00,O00 bushels of grain were
unloaded here, but since that year the re-
ceipts have been gradually getting smaller

Advertisements will appear in the uni

to work in the flour mills. The expedient
of getting university students to fill stril-

The mill employers have made applica-
ton for help thru the Y M c.. "A. en-

diets that he will be able to supply rs or
100 men by tomorrow night. The plan is
to have the students work on the night

wages are -oered, the students will prob
ably respond readily. Many students now
in the university are employed in the
flour mills during the summer.

from these players. Last season they did
not meet their equals in their class. A game

Several of the new candidates are on the
list, all whom are men of experience. COM

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Aug. 1S.-Although
outbatted. the Hoos;ers made monkeys or
the Millers this afternoon in the opening
game of the series, and indianapolis won
out handily by score of to 5.
In one department of the game the Yea
gerites outshone the Indians. This was at
the bat, but when this is said there is moth
ing more to tell in favor Of the home aggre-
cation. In fielding, base running and all
around baseball ability the HOosiers had
Yeager's tossers beaten by a mile.
Tom Williams was on the slab for the WIS.,
itors. and Dick Williams pushed them over
for the locals. The former was touched up
for thirteen hard ticks, while Richard let
his opponents down with nine hits. This ad-
vantage in hitting the ball brought the
Millers nothing, for when they did drive the
horsehide to safe territory they knew not
what TO do. and a greater part of their bin
giles went to waste. The Hoosiers, on the
other hand, made more than could be ex-
pected on their fine drives
Rank errors by the Millers, of course,
helped the champions tremendously, as had
the locals put up any kind of ball in the
field when it was needed Indianapolis runs
Nevertheless the visitors were entitled to
greater portion of their tallies. The way
they sprinted around the bases fairly
stunned the local rooters. Hogriever did
the chief stunt of the afternoon on the
sacks With Hoggie at third and Heydon
second in the third round r. Williams
hit Woodruff with a pitched ball. The
sphere went to the grand stand. Maloney
walked back. and picking up the ball tossed
1t to the pitcher. Although Maloney was
twenty feet away from his position the
pitcher took his place in the box with the
next batter up. Seeing the home plate UNI
covered Hogriever dashed home before Ma
loney could get to the plate to receive
the throw. Heydon and Woodruff also pur-
Joined a base each on the same play.
The Hoosiers played brilliant ball in the
field. Tamsett at third made two marvellous
left-hand stops and Fox pulled down the
hardest kind of a foul fly far back of first.
A sensational catch by Lilly and two splen-
did stops of stiff grounders by Mcintyre
were the Millers' star plays. Score:
