NIGHIIES IN NAVY
Discussion of Pajamas or Nightshirts
for Sailors Rouses Scorn
@.> of Soldiers. ~. +
Regular Army Men Look With Con-
tempt Upon Such Dilettant
Habiliments. -

Pajamas have not yet been added to the
attractions of military life as set forth on
the Circean advertisements, of recruiting sta
tons. The Minneapolis station has received
no orders that the new night garments of
the American navy will also be conferred
upon the army.
A veteran at the. local station read with
plying interest this morning the published
news from Washington, that Admiral Taylor
Of the navy bureau of navigation would soon
decide whether pajamas, instead of night
shirts, will officially grid about the slumber-
ing sailors against the peris of darkness.
"Those jackies wear nightshirts, do they? ?"
sighed the mortified sergeant We'll, a
pretty row Of fighting infants they must look,
all tucked away inside their little hammocks!
And l spose the nighties have got frills
around the collar and along row of nice
pearl buttons down the front! What a pic
ture battleship must make If it runs upon
a rock at night-a lot of red-faced, tobacco
chewing jackies, a-chasin' round the decks
in those fiuttering, frilly gowns!
THANK heaven we've got no foolishness
like that inside the army. Sometimes a
rocky brings a nightshirt into barracks
yes, sometimes. But he don't bring it more
than once. Not after he's had to shoulder
gun and do guard duty up and down the
room all night to show off his angel robes.
An enlisted man that can't sleep in his un-
derclothes hadn't better try to sleep at all.
And when soldier is out on the hike he's
playing in great luck If he don't have to take
his shoes to bed 49,.

THE DOLLAR LEVEL
Commercial West Thinks It Not I'm
likely Wheat Will Sell There
Later On.
Production Stationary Meanwhile
the Consumptive Demand Has
Increased Greatly.

In commenting upon the report of H. v.
Jones, issued yesterday, showing a total yield
Of Ia, 100 600 bushels wheat in Minnesota.
North and South Dakota the Commercial
West says:
The northwest was at maximum of wheat
acreage In 1899 when the national census was
states. It Is believed to be fully within tho
facts to say that the northwest has decreased
1000 900 acres In four years. or 10 per cent.
Results may show that the decrease has ex-
ceeded this. The decrease in wheat has been
Offset BY, increased seeding of barley, oats,
macaron1 and flax and corn. There is a full
grain acreage.
The decrease of the northwest wheat acre
age becomes serious matter for milling in
terests especially in view of the fact that 1t
is likely to remain on decreased basis until
the price OF wheat is advanced to Il point that
will force farmers out of diversified farming
back to wheat raising.
THE DOLLAR LEVEL.
The law Of supply will govern this mat
ter, and it need be no surprise to the trade
to find wheat selling at the dollar level again,
either on this crop or nearby one in re-
spouse to the demand for wheat that will
force the price higher. The needs of con-
sumption have increased. .
The northwest states have raised as high
as 220. 900 bushels of wheat, but for a
halr dozen years there has been a steady
decrease until this year the crop falls almost
Ihat the law Of demand is at work in rela-
ton to price is shown by it's recent steady
advance. Wheat is to-day 10 cents higher
than on the last crop, and in the face of a
harvest. Speculative excitement will not &C
count Tor the higher price, because there has
been no general speculation.
The market has hardened for weeks until
cash wheat in Minneapolis is selling above
~ cents. or 10 cents higher than the Septem-
Der option, and the reason of it is stead
lily decreasing supply of wheat in the country.
MORE WHEAT CONSUMED.
Behind this general situation as primary
cause is increased consumption relative tc
the supply: Ten years have passed since the
world g fair, and in this decade there has
come an increase of population that demands
40, o0oO to 900 bushels more of whea
for bread than was used previously, while
other new forms of consumption perhaps cal
for as much more, such forms as breakfast
foods, cattle feeding and new export fields
like Africa and China. 49,.

A LOSING PROPOSITION
Hennepin Receives 0ne-fourth of
What It Pays for State
School Aid.

Hennepin county gets $e.55e out of the
1903 distribution of state aid to high
schools. The money goes to seven high
schools Of the county. Six Of them get
the maximum allowance-s1,3 $3.50. They
are the four Minneapolis high schools, st.
Louis Park and Hopkins. The Excelsior
school gets $1,276.
In proportion to the total high school
aid, Henrepin's share is very little. In
all, $217, 900 Is paid out, of which $500
goes for expenses. leaving S21O5OO for
the scools. AS Hennepin county pays Is
per cent Of the taxes Of the state, her
proper share would be about $4,000. Hen
nepin gets back in high school aid about
onefourth Of what the county pays out in
that direction.

A BATTUE FOR TAXES
A Tax Detective System Proposed to
County Commissioners.

An intricate and expensive but effective
system of revealing untaxed property has
been proposed to the county commission
ers by Judge A. j. Wooley of Wright
county. The system was originated by
Senator M E. Clapp in Washington
county and proved most successful in
running tax dodgers to earth. Since first
used and approved in a test case by the
supreme court the plan has been per-
fected. Tax detectives would be used and
a careful check made which would render
1t practically impossible for any taxable
property to escape. 1t would cost about
$4,000 to introduce the system in Hen
nepin county but it is thought that the
results will more than counterbalance the
expense Judge Wooley offers to do the
work on commission

And l stooo to hear

And the red, red roses dipped in dew,
Sing dreams OF the love of the love of

When do think of you dearest?
At noon. at the heat of day
When from dell and glade
In the cooling shade.
Sweet notes OF the robin stray;
And from fields where wild flowers

Come songs of the love. of the love of

When do I think of you. dearest?

And 1 sleep and dream
That love in my life will stay;
For what is life without love in view
The love of my dreams, dear, the love OF

BEAR TOOK CARE OF HER.
Little Child Carried OF by Animal and
Put to Bed


An extraordinary but apparently
well-authenticated story of a bears
freak comes from Russian village in
the district OF Odoff. The village lies
on the fringe of forest. whence it is
of frequent occurrence for bears to
make prowling excursions both by day
and night into the adjacent settle.
ments. Some two weeks ago two
young girls, aged respectively and
13, were surprised by huge bear at
II short distance from the village. The
animal seized and carried off the
younger child, while the elder, terror
stricken, fled home and gave the not
unusual alarm.
An immediate pursuit was instituted
and the search was continued during
the evening and the next day. but
without result. On the third day, with
the assistance of neighboring villag-
ers, wide Gordon was drawn around
an extensive tract of the forest, and
the searchers closed in. Toward sun
down the bear and her booty were
discovered in a dense thicket The
child was perfectly unharmed, says
the London Mail. and reclining in a
deep messy couch made for her by the
bear.
