Minneapolis, Aug. 20. = Wheat The
wheat market opened almost one
cent lower than yesterdays close.
Cables were up only fractionally with
our late advance of the day before,
while the closing of six additional
mills in Minneapolis also worked
against maintaining higher prices
today. During the first hour there
was further decline of 3-S cent. The
price current was interpreted as mod
erately bearish, saying that the late
cool weather had helped late spring
wheat to fill and the total wheat crop
would be about equal to last years at
go, 100000 bushels. Our adviceS are
that the sales for exports yesterday
were very large, considerably more
than was reported. Private wires are
to the effect that but a small part of
the northwestern crop of wheat will
grade No. l Northern. These days of
sunshine are bringing out great
many bear messages, bear interviews
and fiattering predictions, all of
which look to US as having been
arranged for effect, and knowing the
facts as we do, believe they are much
overdrawn. Higher prices are pre-
dicted.

How Cheap Baking Powder Is Made

A recent seizure of lot of 'cheap"
baking powders by the authorities of
a neighboring city has exposed the
character of the low priced brands of
baking powders which many manufac1
turerS are offering throughout the
country. The price of the powders
first attracted attention to them.
Samples were taken and analysed.
The official report of the analysis
showed the stuff to be "alum pow
ders," composed chiefly of alum, sui
phuric acid and pulveriZed rock. The
powders were declared dangerous to
health and several thousand pounds
were confscated and destroyed.
Physicians have frequently eau
toned consumers against mixing food
with these so-called 'cheap" baking
powders. They are all found, when
analysed, to contain large percentages
of alum and sulphuric acid to which
are added various sorts of filling
matter sometimes both injurious and
nasty.
The high class, cream of tartar
baking powders, are the most econom-
ical and wholesome and should always
be selected for use. They will be
found cheaper in the end, besides
making the food better and more
healthful

OUTLINES HIS PURPOSE.
]. A. Bower Makes Statement O
His Plans.

The following statement was handed to
the press this afternoon by Mr..
Bower:
'For the past two or three days Mr..
j. A. Bower, representing the Practical
Gas Construction company of North
Chicago, has been in the city comforting
with business men and with the Business
Mems association as to the feasibility of
installing in the city of Mankato, a gas
and electric light plant. If proper ar
rangements between the various interests
of the city can be made and if Mr.. Bower
can secure from the city franchises which
will enable his company to properly light
the city, he proposes to install in the
city of Mankato, at once, gas and cleo
trio light plant of sufficient capacity
to light the city by electricity or with
gas as the council may choose and to
furnish gas to private consumers in I'M
limited quantities. The gas which the
company proposes to furnish will be
of good standard commercial quality at
one dollar net per thousand cubic feet
1t is proposed to light the city if de-
sired by the council, with modern arc
lights of two thousand candle power.
The plant will be ample and modern in
every particular and will be managed and
maintained in strictly up to date
manner.
'Inasmuch as majority of the peo
pie of Mankato are DESTROYS of securing
an electric street railway plant and be-
cause it is believed that if the electric
lighting of the city shall be tied up for
any considerable length of time to any
company not interested in the electric
street railway proposition, MIR. Bower
has consented to insert in any franchise
which he may accept, a clause to the
effect that his company will turn over all
franchises relating to the electric light
ing of the city to any company which
may build and operate a street railway
in the city of Mankato.
''This is the first time in the history
of Mankato that an opportunity has
been given for the people to consume
good gas at one dollar per thousand GU
bic feet. If the council shall be disposed
to grant to Mr.. Bower fair franchises
for city lighting and if the business men
are reasonably liberal with their patron
age, saving of at least sixty-fve cents
per thousand cubic feet will result to the
people of the city,
In addition to the above Mr.. Bower
stated that the price to be charged for
gas for lighting and cooking will cost $l.25
with twenty per cent off for cash if paid
within a certain number of days. The
process of gas making which his company
would follow here is one used by many
companies, with some improvement held
by his company. He states
that the committee is meeting with sue
cess today in its soliciting.

particular advantage, excepting to give
the Milwaukee the legitimate use of the
term short line" between the points
named.
Hitherto the Milwaukee has been prac
tically out of the traffic between st
Paul and Mankato, owing to the round
about manner in which its lines reached
that city. The route at present forms
nearly triangle, and is III miles long.
BY the new line the distance is re.
duced to S61a miles. The North Western
mileage is sc miles, and the Chicago
Great Western 80 miles.
The new line branches off at Farming.
ton and runs in a southerly direction
through rich farming community into
Mankato. 1t will develop splendid ag-
ricultural traffic as well as local bust
ness. The company intends to inaugur-
ate double daily train service each way.
with sufficient freight train service to
care for the traffic. On the new line are
located several prosperous towns and
settlements, among them Elko, Mont
gomery, Lonsdale and LIE Sueur Center.
The tracks also run within short dis
tances of Kasota and st. Peter.-St.
Paul Dispatch.

black team to Mr.. Noyes of st. Paul,
senior member of the firm of Noyes Bros.

they are afraid of. My Noyes is quite an
old gentleman and requires safe team.
