ually fails to germinatc. So nearly
universal has been the difficulty that
seed men who do not wish to disap-
point their customers have refused to
handle it, or have sold it only in very
small quantities.
1t was supposed for time that the
loss of vitality was due to the scorch-
ing to which the seed was subjected
when gathered by the Indians for
food but it was soon found that seeds
that had never been scorched also
failed to sprout.
1t was then determined to try
series of experiments based on the
observation that the grain of wild
rice is somewhat soft and moist at
maturity and falls into the water i'm
mediately without hardening. The
results of these experiments tended
to show it is said, that the way to
preserve the vitality of the seed is to
keep it from becoming thoroughly dry,
but at the same time to aerate it sum
ticently 10 prevent molding. The
practical course suggested to buyers
by the department of agriculture is to
place their orders for the seed before
the time of the wild rice harvest,
have it shipped Immediately in ma
turity and SOW it at once. The OBJ
servations and experiments that re-
suited in these conclusions were made
to two investigators, Mr.. Carl 8. SEQ
| field, who examined the plant in its
natural situation in Minnesota and
Mr.. Edgar Brown. who conducted the
storage and termination tests.

Berlin, Nov. 9.-Suffcring from a
tumor in the larynx similar to that
which ultimately killed his father and
his great-grandmother, having deyel-
oped into cancer in those kinfolk, En-
|peror William underwent an oper-
alton. Professor MoritZ Schmidt and
his aids, who performed the operation,
declared that the tumor or polypus,
as they term the growth, was harm
less" thus indicating that it was not
of a cancerous nature. The operation
was considered successful the entire
growth being removed, and his ma
jesty is expected to be out shooting
within a week The emperor him
self has arranged for a hunting trip
Nov. q.
In contradstinction to the hopeful
view of the malady expressed by the
eminent surgeons who performed the
operation, however, grave fears are
entertained outside the castle.
knsfoIk Killed by Cancer.
It is recalled that Emperor Fret
erick H., father of Emperor William
H., the present monarch. was taken
i'll with precisely the same ailment,
or at least 1t was so diagnosed With
in few months after he died of can
Ger and the surgeons who had oper-
ated on him precisely as others have
now done on Emperor William were
bitterly denounced for having mis-.
taken the disease and given it wrong
treatment.
In addition 1t Is shown by history
that the beautiful Queen Louise, wife
of King Frederick Wilhelm of Prus-
STA and great.grandmother of Emperor
William, died of cancer in 1911.
Thus it would appear that cancer
in the royal family is hereditary and
despite the surgeons reinsurance to
the contrary it is generally feared
that Emperor William is afflicted
with the fatal malady.

count of the operation as given to the

SALOONS WILL FIGHT.
I-eaguers Accept the Extra Hour Prop.
osjtion at Sioux CITY.

osition at Sioux City.
Special to Times Republican.
Sioux City, Feb. 19.-The long fight
,Naged by the Sioux City Anti Saloon
league against saloons ending In the
tlisgruntled and sensational resignation
of Rev r. f. Garter, the superinten-
dent. has eliminated in strange
agreement entered into among the sal
Don men, the mayor and the anti-saloon
league. Last spring Mayor Caldwell
made the league a proffer that he
would undertake to control the saloon
saloons should have an extra hour in
which to do business at night. This
was rejected, and the league vert
ahead in its own way. The failure of
the work of Rev. Carter has caused
a change of heart, and now they have
accepted the mayors offer.
BY the terms of the agreement, May
or Caldwell will undertake to enforce
the pact, and the police force will be
requisitioned into service. The terms
are that the saloons shall keep open I'M
It'll II o'clock instead of closing at 10
o'clock; that on Saturday nights they
shall keep open until midnight, when
they shall remain closed until o'clock
Monday morning. Winerooms and the
frequenting of saloons which has be-
come common is to be stopped. no
drinks are to be sold to minors and
habitual drunkards. The agreement.
following the long and bitter fight that
has been waged on the saloons in Sioux
City from before and since the sem
sational murder of Rev. George c..
Haddock, is nothing less than reyo-
luton in anti saloon sentiment.

TyNDALE CASES REVERSED.

In Libel SUITS.

In Libel SUITS.
Special to Times Republican.
Muscatine. Feb. 19.-The United
States court of appeals at st. Louis
has reversed the cases of Tyndale
Palmer Vs. John Mahin and the Mus
cattne Journal and new trial of both
cases has been granted. The new trials
will be before Judge Mcpherson at
Keokuk.
Tynedale Palmer is the man who has
attracted so much attention thru his
suits against numerous papers turnout
the country for their publication of an
item sent out by a press association
stating that he had embe zzled large
amount from his employers while he
was in South America selling the right
to the Welsbach light patents in those
countries He had won some of his
suits and. others wera compromised.
The Journal. which had been one Of the
papers sued also, printed a statement
insinuating that Palmer was black
mailer. Palmer sued the paper and it's
proprietor, John Mahin, for damages
for both publications which he claimed
to be libelous
These cases We're tried before Judge
Mcpherson and attracted great inter-
est thru the fact that Palmer conducted
his own case in court. The decision
was adverse to him and he appealed to
the circuit court of appeals.
