NOT USING MINI. BRANDS
Story About Kansas Millers Gets
Rap From the Northwestern
Miller. !

A report that Kansas milIers have been
marketing their flour under popular Min
nesota brands is punctured by the North
western Miller in substance as follows:
In its issue of July 81 the Kansas City
Star printed on it's front page, under
paragraph head, a dispatch from It'll
correspondent at the Kansas capital, be-
ginning as follows:
Topeka, July 31.-For the first time in
the history Of the milling industry Of Kan
sas the entire output of flour in the state
this year will be sold in eastern and for
eign markets as Kansas flour. Heretofore
it has been customary for the Kansas
millers to market their flour under some
of the more popular Minnesota brands.
The millers have been afraid that the
Kansas brands were unpopular and in
order to avoid prejudice against them,
either sold their flour to northern millers
or sold it in Minnesota sacks"
The substance of the intelligence con-
veyed in the paragraph quoted is trus
with the exception Of the following de-
tails:
It has never been Customary" for Kan
sas< millers to market their -four under
"some of the more popular Minnesota
brands
1t has never been Customary for them
to market their -four under any brands
save their own.
Millers have not "sold their -four II
northern millers.'
The "millers Of Kansas" speaking for
the whole of them, have not sold their
flour gin Minnesota sacks"
The miller who worked the CORE
spondent to print his interview may have
been making confession in giving out
the startling information quoted. Ger
tainly he had no right to speak for the
respectable millers of Kansas in saying
such deliberate untruths.

Protest Against Needless Delays by
Stone Wagons on Washing
ton Avenue Bridge.

Midway patrons of the old interurban
car line who have to take early morn
ing cars in order to be at their work on
time, have about concluded that they
have kick coming" But realizing that
it is about as hard to kick against stone
wagons as it is against the proverbial
pricks or being convinced that such is
the case from the way in which motor
men and conductors submit to the whims
Of stone wagon drivers on the Washington
avenue bridge, their kick has not been
forthcoming.
Between the hours of Z and a. m.
every morning there cross the bridge from
east to west several stone wagons. They
move at a snaiPs paceior worse and they
invariably lit seems SO, at least) manage
to get started across the bridge just in
advance Of a city-bound car full Of pas
sengers anxious to be at business ION
the dot at o'clock. They take the
right track, and to that they stick
until they have left the western end Of
the bridge, no matter how frequently and
how coaxingly the motorman may sound
his gong.

would come along on one of these cars
some morning and get out and thrash

mark dropped by a passenger on a de-
| layed car few mornings ago.
| It is safe to, say there would be sew
| eral passengers who would be willing to
hold the coat Of any motorman who would
attempt the job. For, according to the
stories told by the interurbanites, the
| drivers Of the wagons seem absolutely in
different to the fact that they are delay
ing needlessly scores Of persons. Were 1t
necessary, say the passengers, the case
would be different but again and again
drivers have held to the right-hand track
clear across the bridge when the other
side was wholly clear, and they could have
crossed, allowed the car to pass and then
recrossed II necessary.
The only solution, it is said, seems tt
be In an appeal to the police department
to station man or two on the bridge
during certain hours with instructions tc
see that cars are given the right of way
when there is no need of blocking them.

RUINED BY MORPHINE
A Harvard Man Tells His Story in
C0urt

Frank Jewell, a graduate Of Harvard
university, and who for a number Of
years was practicing physician in Mon
tana, was in police court this morning
on charge of vagrancy. He told the
court the story of his wrecked life and
will probably be sent to his wife, who
keeps a boarding house in South Da-
kota town. Jewell owes his downfall
to the use of morphine.
Court officers with years Of experience
say that Jewell is the worst physical
wreck that has ever been brought into
the court. He is pale and emaciated while
his eyes have a CLASSY stare. He is ex-
tremely nervous and has reached the
stage where it is impossible for him to ex-
ist without the drug.
Jewell says he started on his downward
road in a legitimate way. He was in
jured in a railroad wreck and was given
morphine daily while he was in the hos
pital. After recovering from his injuries
he found that he craved for the drug and
he administered it to himself. He prefers
the hypodermic syringe and use Al grains
at every injection.

HERE 40 YEARS AGO
James Gray Naturally Sees Changes
in MINNEAPOLIS.

Alderman S. E. Adams had visit this
morning at the city hall from James Gray
Of Peru, South America, and Charles
Gray, formerly Of the same place, but now
a Minneapolitan. This is the first visit
Of the former to the United States for
forty nine years and America is almost
as much of a novelty to him as if he were
a native Peruvian. Charles Gray lived
in this city over forty years ago. and has
returned to spend his last days here, after
his long absence, twenty years of which
were spent in Lima. Both have Spanish
wives.
James Gray would probably not have
come to America at this time but for the
serious illness Of his brother the late
Daniel Gray of Elk River. He made all
possible haste, but after travelling several
thousand miles he failed to see his brother
except in his coffin.

JOLTED AN INJURED MAN
Use of Patrol Wagon for Accident
Cases Cause Suffering.

Louis Bloomquist, 1874 Lincoln street
NE, had his right leg broken this morn
ing while working in the Nelson Tenney
planning mill, Thirteenth avenue NE and
Johnson street. He was pushing truck
when the load Of lumber fell upon him.
He was taken to the Swedish hospital.
Bloomquit's case afforded a good illus
tration Of the inhumane equipment for
handling injured persons in Minneapolis.
The police patrol wagon was sent for him,
and as the vehicle is a heavy one, it
jolted along over the rough streets in
such manner that the injured man cried
out with pain The driver was as care
full as he could be and held the team to
a slow walk but even then the injured
man suffered untold anguish.

size of the blocks Of ice it is proposed
to freeze are prepared on substantial
foundations, but allowing an air space
under and around them. When the
thermometer is right two or three
inches of water Is run into each tank
and it will freeze into a solid block in
a short time, much quicker than a SIM
liar cake of ice would form on an open
lake in the same weather. This pro-
cess is repeated till cakes of ice of COM
mercial size are produced, and each
process is more expeditions than the
previous one from the fact that there
is the initial foundation of ice. When
the first set of ice cakes are finished
another set of paper tanks is set upon
supports which rest on the basic layer
and the process is repeated. This is
repeated in turn till as much ice as
it is possible to make on the location is
frozen, and then the walls are put into
the building and the ice is packed and
the place closed up till the ice is re-
CURED.
L. F. Cook, a Chicago inventor, Is

QUAINT FRENCH VILLAGE.

Quaint and Peaceful Place Half an
Hours Journey From Paris.
Itseems hardly credible that not more
than thirty minutes from all the noise
and hustle Of Paris there lies a village
that Is SO quiet SO peaceful, and SO
Old-fashioned that one would imagine
oneself at; least one hundred miles
away from the gay capital. Here, at
this village, La Frette by name, and
about fifteen minutes walk from Cor
meilles, preparations for midday and
evening repasts have to be made very
early in the morning, for no such
thing as good shop is anywhere near
and the walk to Cormeilles is one
which one considers twice before TAX
ing, for it Is up steep and rough roads.
So daily, butcher, baker and green gro
Ger pass this quaint little place, and
the villagers gather round the various
tradesmen and make their purchases
for the day. They also buy their
clothes In this way, and may often be
seen trying on bonnets, dresses and
boots in the middle Of the street. From
a scenic point of view, all artists have
agreed that there is no place to equal
La Frette between Paris and Havre
To the left of the village is the Park of
Maisons Laffitte, and facing the park
Is Sartrouville, while opposite lies the
forest Of st. German in all It's green
splendor. To the right is Heblay,
quite an important place, whose
church is visible for miles along the
SeiAe. La Frette itself has the quaint
est villagers possible. Many Of them
speak worse French than those of the
Midi, and 1t Is an event indeed when
one takes journey up to the capital.
They are the thriftiest Of the thrifty.
Only short time ago one of the peas
ants gave his daughter no less sum
than quarter Of million of francs
on her wedding day, and anot4.r is to
receive the same amount on her ap-
preaching marriage. And yet this
man, who must be worth four or five
millions Of francs at least, lives In a
patched-up old house, and digs in the
fields from early morning till late at
night.

LUCK BROUGHT MILLIONS.

Accidental Discovery I'm Iron Shop
Created Great Wealth.
The creation of the fortune of Ben
jamin r. Jones, who died the other
day, estimated in his home city of
Pittsburg at $5O,OOO.O 600, was one Of
those odd events that are wholly un-
available in support Of the contention
that pure luck or chance plays no in
considerable part in human affairs,
says the New York World.
Jones owned small forging shop
thirty years ago and had no apparent
prospects Of entering millionairedom.
One day an employe, a careless fellow,
let pair Of cold tongs slip from his
hands and they fell between the roll
ers. Examination Of the tongs when
they were recovered disclosed the fact
that the metal in them had been acct
dentally made into an exceptionally
high grade quality Of steel.
The patent secured on that purely
chance discovery was the passport of
Jones Of Pittsburg to one Of the largest
fortunes In the country and incidental
ly to political immortality as the chair
man Of Blaine's presidential campaign
committee who fried the fat out of
such manufacturers as were sluggish
in their contributions.
The perverse moral or this story is
accentuated by the fact that the care
less workman who dropped the tongs
was rewarded for his carelessness with
a gift of $4,000. Young Americans
will nevertheless do well to believe
that as a rule large fortunes are not
made by chance but by deep thinking
and hard working; and also that pains
taking, not carelessness, is the main
highway to success.
