WINTER WHEAT WINS
In Tests Made by Prof. Hays at the.
State Farm.

It's safe speculation to plant winter
wheat in Minnesota. After many expert
ments Professor w. M. Hays Of the state
agricultural college is prepared to assure
farmers that if they plant winter wheat
one of two things will follow, either the
crop will be killed by frost, in which case
the loss will be confined to the cost 'of
planting one and half bushels of seed
to the acre. or the wheat will survive the
winter and produces a crop two-thirds
larger than any spring wheat.
At the state experiment station, St.
Anthony Park, where Professor Hays
made his test he secured no winter wheat
in the spring Of 1900 and 1901 because of
winter killing" In the next two springs,
however, milder winters made possible the
harvesting Of abundant wheat crops The
comparative yields Of winter and of spring
wheat at the experiment station were as
follows: M % As.Z[

MILK TO GO UP
Dairymen and Milkmen Agree to
Advance the Price.

At {. meeting last night, attended by
200 dairymen and milkmen doing business
in the city it was decided to increase the
price of milk at retail to 6A cents in
stead of 5 cents a quart.
The milkmen organized and elected
John ]. Halloran president and j. e.
Quirk, secretary and treasurer. About
fifty signed an agreement to charge quart
customers "a cents, other small custom
ers s2-7 cents a quart, and hotels and
other large customers 20 cents instead of

DEPLORE ASSAULT
Colored Citizens Greatly Stirred
Over Yesterdays Attempt.

The colored residents of Minneapolis
will hold a mass meeting tonight in K. P.
hall, 100 Hennepin avenue, to pass resolu-
lions deploring the assault upon Ruby
Steele alleged to have been committed by
James Hayes. The colored population is
greatly incensed over the affair and many
of them were more earnest In their con-
domination of the affair than the white
people.
Contrary to the expectation Of the po-
lice, a mob did not form last night, and
during the entire evening everything was
quiet in lo,:s1-up alley. The police, how
ever, had guarded against emergencies by
removing Hayes to the county Jail yester-
day afternoon in order to prevent every
possibility Of lynching.

AT THE DEWEY
The Trocadero BurIesquers Reopen tn.
Theater With Good

The Trocadero Burlesquers are the
opening attraction of the season at the
Dewey this week, and the performance
given by them is considerably above the
average. A departure is made by intro
Quoting a one-act musical comedy, "a
Misfit Family" which contains some c1ev-
lines and situations Frank Graham
In the leading role Of the capitalist uncle
makes decided hit, and the other mem
bers of the cast give admirable support.
Frazier and Peterson, in negro songs
and dances, open the olio. Their work is
acceptable. Belmont and O'Brien, trav-
esty artists, reel off some nonsense which
Is as amusing as it is nonsensical. Frank
and Grace Graham make decided hit
with some clever repartee and a number
of illustrated songs.
10 Morris sings some clever Hebrew
parodies on popular songs, and Wink and
Mack give a good acrobatic turn. The
comedy quartet, Conlan, Ward, Dobbs and
Leigh, earn several encores.
The closing burlesque, "Firewather,' is
quite amusing, and the songs are good.
The chorus is good looking and well cos
tuned.
The theater has been redecorated and
presents greatly improved appearance.

JUDGE MORRIS TO SIT
VIII Preside at September Term Of Fed.
eral Court at the County
O.... COurthOuse.

Judge Page Morris Of Duluth will pre-
side at the September term of the federal
court. While in the city he will be a
guest of the Minneapolis club. Judge
Lochren will also remain in town during
the first Of the two weeks term, but he
will probably not appear upon the bench.
Owing to the alterations in progress at
the federal building, this term of court
will be held at the Hennepin county court
house. The county commissioners have
given to United States Marshal W. M.
Grimshaw, as representative of the fed
eral court, the right to use the county
,conrtrooms and jury-rooms for any period
up to Sept. IA. At that date the county
courts may resume their sessions, but
the federal court will then be ready to
adjourn.

He IS SHOCKED TO DEATH
John S. Warner, City Hospital En-.
gineer, Meets Death in
Boiler.

John s. Warner, second engineer at
the city hospital, was electrocuted yes
terday while cleaning one of the boilers
of the hospital heating plant. He entered
the boiler bearing an incandescent lamp,
when connections were made and the cleo
trio current passed thru his body. He was
dead when found and had evidently been
dead for some time.
The peculiar feature surrounding War
ner's death is the fact that only ITO volts
passed thru his body while it usually re-
quires 1000 volts to cause death. The
physicians think the shock caused heart
failure.
Warner was Sc years Of age and resided
at 804 Sixth street S. He leaves widow
and two grown-up children.

LINES TO SMELLING
Mr.. Lowry Looks Over Routes Thru
the Reservation.

The Fort Smelling reservation was in
spected yesterday by Thomas Lowry,
president Of the Twin City Rapid Transit
company, and Vice President c.. q. Good
rich, in company with Captain McCaskey.
Three different routes thru the reserva-
ton to connect with the Seventh street
line in st. Paul and the Minnehaha line in
Minneapolis were discussed. The most
favored follows the road from the falls
past the artillery barracks to the present
bridge to st. Paul. Another is across the
reservation south Of the officers row and
along the Minnesota bluffs leading to the
bridge south Of the old tower.

DEsERTIONs DECREASE
Records For, July, 1908, and July, 1902
Are Compared, Favorlng
1ono

Despite rumors to the contrary the per-
centa6e Of assertions from the army In
the department of Dakota has been much
smaller this summer than it was last
year. In July, the month when high wages
in the harvest fields brings about the most
numerous assertions Of the year fifty
eight men left their regiments last sum-
mer But in July, 1908, the deserters num-
bered thirty-four only, yet the strength of
the department forces in 1902 was only
IFS as against 1892 this year.
The percentage Of assertions for July,
1902, was .O263; for July, 1903, .0113-a
decrease Of more than one-half.
The principal reason given by officers
for this decline in the number of deserters
is that the conditions disturbed by the
war with Spain are now being resumed
and that recruiting officers are thus en-
abled to exercise greater care in the se1ec-
ton Of new soldiers.

YEARS LUMBER CUT.
It Threatens to Show Minneapolis
Second to Thriving Town
of Cloquet.
So Secretary Of Miss. Valley Lum-
bermen's Association Tells
the Association.

The Mississippi Valley Lumbermen's as
ISOLATION held it's semi-annual meeting at
the West Hotel, beginning at 2 p. m. to-
day. The association includes the lumber
Of the northwest. The
regular discussion as to prices and the
report of Secretary J. E. Rhodes, were the
main features of the meeting which will
close tonight. The manufacturers are
deeply interested in the American forestry
associations meeting in the Andrus
building and will attend tomorrow.
The report of Secretary Rhodes showed
the 1903 production of lumber in Mime
sofa, Wisconsin, Iowa and part of lower
Michigan, will be considerable less than
the total cut Of last year. Minneapolis
is likely to lose her position as the largest
lumber manufacturing center in the
world to Cloquet MINI. Minneapolis has
manufactured nearly 100, OO0,O 900 less feet
Of lumber this year than last. This fall
ing off is because several firms which
formerly sawed night and day are saving
days only this season.
The large sawmill of the Brooks Scan
Ion Lumber company at Scanlon, which is
only suburb of Cloquet, will produce this
year about $50, 100000 feet. which, in addi-
tion to the increased production of the
northern and the Cloquet lumber COM
panies, the large plants Of the Weyer-
haeuser syndicate, may give Cloquet the
supremacy.
Shipments by members of the ass&ia-
ton for seven months of tn eyear are
slightly in excess of those for the same
period last year.

Good for N. w. Lumbermen.

Northwestern lumbermen are profiting
by the old condition of affairs which
spring up yearly whe nthe crop moving
time comes on. They are independent Of
competition from the southwest manu-
facturers of yellow pine lumber and fir
lumber manufacturers of the west because
cars are being centered in the northwest.
1t is impossible for the lumbermen in the
southwest and west to get rolling stock
into their yards. The roads prepare an
nually for the grain movement from the
country towns by centering the freight
cars in the grain country. Lumbermen's
calls for transportation for their lumber
mill products fall on deaf ears.

~ The Time For Recreation.

kr1 The Time For Recreation
IN this insistent age, when life every
where is at high pressure, there IL
great need of emphasizing the impor-
tance-yes, the absolute necessity-or
recreation.
What is work worth, especially orain
work, when it is performed with Jaueu
faculties. the energy OF the brain Cells
being exhausted?
One ambitious of becoming writer
for example, thinks he Is saving 'iihe
by forcing his brain beyond natural
limits He believes that what he does
over hours Is clear gain and that writ
ing a chapter or an article after MS
DAYS work I'M an office, a factory or
store is TO his advantage. But sooner
or later he will realize his mistake. Ma
ture will not be cheated.
A man may profitably occupy his
evenings in study or in some other oc-
cupation than that by which he earns
his daily bread. but he cannot de fuii
days work Of any kind and then wise
lv attempt to do creative work in the
evening. A fresh brain is absolutely
essential to the production Of original
thought. Even a recognized author
who forces too much work upon his
brain will soon see that his writings
are not as much in demand as they
have been and that his reputation is
waning.-O. S. Marsden in Success.

Dolly Madison.

There are many stories told OF the
tact and kindness of Mistress Dolly
Madison when she was the first lady Of
the land. Her ready wit saved from
confusion many a visitor to the White
House who was not accustomed to the
ways of polite society.
One of the most amusing of the sto-
ries is the tale Of country lad at a
White House reception who was sur
prised in the midst Of his enjoyment
of a cup of coffee by the approach of
bis hostess. In his confusion the poor
boy dropped his saucer and thrust the
cup into his pocket.
Mistress Dolly, who, although her eyes
were keen and searching, never saw
anything that it was not intended she
should see, chatted away with her
guest so pleasantly Of the weather, the
crowd, and, finally, Of the young mans
mother, whom she had known or heard
Of, that be recovered from his embar-
rassment and was soon at ease and
ready to accept the fresh cup Of coffee
which his hostess ordered, despite a
certain curious and unexplained bulge
in his pocket.
