Warden E. B. Jewett has an
nounced the rates at which the
penitentiary binding Irvine would
be sold this year. The price will
be 91z cents per pound f. o. b.
Lansing on lots of 5000 pounds
or over and 10 cents per pound
on smaller orders. The trust
price is 10 cents on car load lots
or 10H cents on smaller quarters,
on Chicago basis. The differ
ence allowed by the state plant
on car load lot orders, together
with the necessary allowance for
freight charges, will enable the
dealer to make fair margin of
profit and still sell to the farmer
as cheaply as he can buy direct
from the plant in small quanti-
ties. IF a number of farmers club
together they can, however,
by buying a sufficient quality,
save the dealers profit. Mr.. Jew
EFT will endeavor to distribute
the product of the plant over the
wheat belt as eqally as possible,
and to this end, will, if necessary
restrict the amount sold to each
dealer. This will also. prevent
any effort to corner the supply.
"A great many orders are already
coming in.

PANAMA CANAL
TREATY SIGNED
UnayaiIing Attempt to Hold
the News for the After
noon Papers.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 22.-The
treaty between the United States and
Colombia for the construction of the
Panama canal by the United States
was signed today in this city. 1t was
intended not to make the signing
known tonight, but the chance for
newspaper notoriety became too good
for some friends of the canal to keep
after the long delay and suspense and
it transpired at the presidents official
reception.
Fears had been entertained until this
week that Colombia would not be will
ing to accede to the wishes of the
United States and that recourse to the
Nicaragua canal project might be
forced on the United States. But this
week events took a more favorable turn
and Colombia transmitted instructions
and authority to DR.. Herran, it's repre-
sentative, that made possible concIu-
sion Of the long negotiations.
The principal obstacle for some time
has been the price that the United
States was to pay in the shape of a
cash payment and by way of annual
rental for the strip of territory along
each side of the canal right Of way.
The final result is a practical cession
in perpetuity of the strip for canal pur--
poses and incidental police control and
protection of the canal right of way.

FREEPORT, H., Jan. ga Chi
cago Great Western passenger train
which left Chicago for st. Paul at 6 80
tonight struck broken rail at South
Freeport and jumped the track. The
engineer and fireman were killed and
several passengers were injured. The
train is burning.
The dead:
FIREMAN GRACE, Dubuque, Iowa.
ENGINEER SHERIDAN, Byron, Ill.
Express Messenger Sheedy is among
the injured.
The Illinois Central railway officials
promptly sent relief train to the
scene of the wreck.
Speed, expresman, was injured.
Physicians were hurried from all
towns within reach of the wreck to
relieve the suffering of the injured.
A special train, with medical aid, was
made up in Chicago and hurried to
the scene.
The passengers rushed from the
train and found the engine lying
across the track. On top of it was the
baggage ear.
The train is popular one between
Chicago and st. Paul, and all of the
coaches were filled. Following the
baggage car was a buffet car. Then
came three sleepers and two day
coaches brought up the rear.
The baggage car caught fire, but the
flames were checked before the buffet
car was reached. The people who
rode in the ordinary day coaches Jared
better than did those who had berths
in the sleepers. The day coaches were
at the rear Of the train and were the
only ones that remained upon the rails.

DIES AS A RESULT OF
HAVING TWO TEETH
EXTRACTED
W. c. Dallas, a Travelling
Man, Has Two Front Teeth
Pulled and Is Dead as a
Consequence Of Hemor-
rhage-Dentist Has Not
Yet Been Found.

As the result of the extraction of
two front teeth yesterday afternoon,
w. G. Dallas is dead at the home Of
his brother-in-law, c. A. Brand, 908
Hague avenue.
Death came so suddenly that he had
no time to impart to his friends the
name of the dentist who performed
the extraction.
Mrs. Dallas, who is a sister of Mr..
Brand, was summoned yesterday, when
1T was seen that he could not survive
the terrible loss of blood. She will
arrive this morning.
Mr.. Dallas was a salesman of the
Galena Oil company, of Franklin, Pa,
and was in ST. Paul on business.
He arrived here last Saturday and
registered at the Ryan. On Monday
he paid his bill and went to the Brand
home to remain for the rest of his
stay in the city.
To the Brand family he had COM
planned much of the trouble he expert
enced with his teeth, and avowed his
intention of having them extracted.
Tuesday about noon he left the house
without stating the object of his err
rand.
About 4 o'clock he was back, with
a constant stream of blood lowing
from his mouth, and already he showed
signs of weakness
Drs. Rftchie and MacLaren were
summoned, but nothing could be done.
Even plaster casts were tried in vain.
At last night he died.
Mr.. Dallas was about thirty-eight
years of age, and until his removal to
FRANKLIN four years ago was a ST. Paul
resident.
