"MAC"
WHEAT

The suggestion Of a Valley City
uaper in recent issue, that Nol tn
Dakota people ask their -four dta lers
for nacaroni -four to try and that they
use it if they like it, is good idea.
In addition to that would suggest
that wheat growers hold their mac
aroni wheat, if they are prepared to
do so, tor probably nothing better can
happen for the future Of it than to
have it reach the terminal markets
rather deliberately. The millers hold
that the milling Of it is perplexing
| them at present and if that is the case
| | believe that they will grow more
and more in favor Of it as they ac-
cumulate information by experiment
ing with it.
Macaroni bread is palatable and
nutritious and have eaten splendid
cake made from it. The man who
believes in the maxim, North Da-
kota for North Dakotans, can do the
state good tuln by using the flour
made from the wheat which will not
only increase tine yield Of grain on
the present acreage bur will extend
the wheat belt further west in the

MIX 1T
Prof. shepperd Sends
Out fimely Warm
ing to Farmers.

The grain dealers and millers of
the country tear the grain growers
will get nacaloni mixed with the fife
and blue stem strains of wheat and
have called my attention to the SER
ious results which will follow if such.
a thing should happen
The only danger Of these grains
mixing is from !, mechanical mixing
of the seed while it is being handled
as there is very little, if any, crossing
or mixing ini wheat as it grows in the
field.
Wheat gruWers should be very care
ful about gfttims macaroni wheat
mixed in with the common bread
wheat, as the macaroni requires diff
ferent tempering and handling from
common bread wheat in milling, and
the miller can only make very in
ferior grade OF flour from fife or blue
stem wheat which contains mixture
of macaroni. The -four can be blend
ed with good success, apparently, but
the wheat men will have to grade
blended wheat rejected
1t should rot be a difficult matter
to keep the niacaroni wheat separate
from the common wheat as the berries
are larger, longer shaped, and much
lighter in color The macaroni heads
/ han Ix,1 nl
in appearance from the blue stem and
fife.
1t is not a difficult matter to keeI
separate bins for the seed wheat, or t.
sweep them -saeaM before the grain i.
placed in them. Cleaning out the
drill when passing from the seeding
of one kind Of wheat before starting
upon another is not difficult matter
and lit is usually done in changing
from fife to blue stem seeding, and
vice versa, ! believe.
! really can not see how there car
be much excuse for getting the seed
mechanically mixed and there is ne
danger Of natural mixing or crossing
like there is in corn; and if the re
suits Of mixing it is a loss of tel
cents or more per bushel in the price
there lis certainly sufficient penalty
attached to have a strong influence in
correcting it.
This is good time to select pur.
pieces Of grain for seed and separate
clean bins to keep them in.

RAILROAD NEWS
GRAIN COMES NORTH
Great Westerns Low Tariff
Brings 1t to Minneapolis.

The Chicago Great Western is hauling
a great deal of grain from Omaha to
Minneapolis on the new proportional
rates which went into effect Oct. "A.
The rate previously was practically pro-
hibitive, being 81 cents on wheat and Is
cents on corn from Omaha. The new rate
is cents on wheat and cents on corn,
the proportion paid for the haul from
Omaha to Minneapolis of the through
rates from Union Pacific points. There
were no through rates from points on
other lines, however, and consequently
the grain had to move to Chicago via
Kansas City, the rate from Kansas City
to Minneapolis being only IA cents on
wheat and IL cents on corn.
To illustrate, the rate from points In
Nebraska to Minneapolis before the Great
Western entered the field with It's pro-
portional rate was 3S cents on wheat and
80 cents on corn, whereas the rate to
Chicago was 80 cents on wheat and u
cents on corn.
No proportional rates have as yet been
announced from Omaha to Chicago but If
the Kansas City rate is applied from
Omaha the rate will be 81 cents on wheat
and 20 cents on corn, only l cent more
than the through rates. 1t Is probable
that such rates will be announced soon.

AGENT SHOOTS MAN;
RAILROAD is SUED
Illinois Central Is Made Defendant In a
Novel Case.

Special to The Globe.
SIOUX FALLS, s. D., Nov. 6.-Katie
e. Bowen, the widow of Frank Bowen,
until his death a prominent resident of
Ben Clare, town situated on the Illinois
Central, east of Sioux Falls, has, by her
attorney, Joseph Kirby, of this city, in
stituted a suit in the United States court
in this city against the Illinois Central
for $4,000 damages
The husband of the plaintiff was shot
and killed Feb q last by Henry A.
Steagald, agent of the Illinois Central
at Ben Clare. Steagald was tried in the
state circuit sfc0urt here but was ac-
quilted on background that he was men
tally irresponsible. i, He was afterwards
sent to the state hospital for the insane
at Yankton - - g@'
Mrs. Bowen alleges in her complaint
that by reason of the loss of her hus-
band, six children are dependent upon
her for support; that Steagald was of q
dangerous and violent character, sub
ject to sudden fits of anger and with a
general disregard for the persons and
to have charge of the station house. but
was wholly untitled and incompetent to
occupy such position, all of which was
at said time well known to the defend
ant"
She further alleges that at the time of
the murder of her husband, he entered
the station house in pursuit of his bust
ness with the company, and that Stea-
gald, while Bowen was in the discharge
of his legitimate and lawful business with
the company, shot and killed him.
In addition SSte$ tleSs $20, 900 the plain
tiff asks that she be awarded the costs
and disbursements of the action.

TREATING, CANCER.
German Doctor Thinks He Has Found
the Guilty Parasite.

LONDON, Nov. ga new treatment
of cancer, which is believed to mark
an important advance in the treatment
of the dreaded growth, has been ex-
planned before meeting of the -Aber-'
nethian society Of st. Bartholomew
hospital by DR. Johnson, who has been
examining the methods employed by
Dr.. Otto Schmidt, Of Cologne ,s9aila
"Dr. iSchfi1idt's 6pinion,n he said, us
that the cancer unconditional on the
presence In the patient of hae cancer
parasite which produces a structural
change in the cells Of the part affect
ed. The difficulty has been to decide
which, if any, of them Is. the cause OF
cancer. DR.. Schmidt believes he has
isolated the specific parasite.
with this parasite, DIR. Schmidt has.
done two things-he seems to have
sterilized 1t with liquid air and he has
also injected it into animals and de-
veleped serum which has the power
Of destroying ecancer cells Sterilized
parasites he useds for one treatment.
Animal serum, he used for his second
treatment Successful use of the dis
covery depends upon arrest Of the
process; renewal of the growth and
the fact that no vital organ has been
seriously injured"

RATE IS INCREASED
Pullman Company Advances
Tourist Car Fare One Dollar.

A circular was issued by the Pullman
company yesterday announcing that an
advance of 81 will be made in tourist car
rates Dec. /. The fare from Chicago 10
San Francisco will be increased from Sc
to 81, and from st. Paul the fare will be
Sc instead of the old tariff of So.
Copies of the Pullman circular We're re-
ceived in ST. Paul yesterday. No reason
or cause for the advance in the tarlif
rates was given. A bare statement that
the rates are to be increased wase made,
and it was also announced that the new
schedule of tariff rates would be ISSUED
Nov. 10 and would become effective
Dec. 1.
ST. Paul passenger officials say that the
advance is occasioned by the increase IN
the cost of running the ears. Wages have
been advanced by the Pullman company
and the cost of building and equipping
the sleepers has greatly increased dur
ing the past three years.
Another reason for the increase, accord
ing to passenger men. is the excellency
of the tourist car service. 1t almost
equals the service of the standard cars,
while the fare has beeen less than one
half of that charged for accommodation
in the standard sleepers. 1t is now the
purpose of the Pullman company to re-
adjust the tourist car rate of fare so that
it will equal half the tariff charged for
the standard sleeper.
1t is not known what action the Great
Northern will take regarding the advance.
That line owns it's own sleeping car equip
ment and is not subject to rules Of the
Pullman company. However, 1t is likely
that the Great Northern's tourist car fare
will also be increased

TRADE SITUATION
is MUCH MIXED
Farm Conditions Are Excellent,
but Trade in Some Lines
Is Dull.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say. Unseasonably mild weather
is making it possible for farmers to Sc
cure much late grain and cotton that
seemed doomed by early frost, but on
the other hand trade is dull in heavy
wearing apparel, fuel and many INES
that should be vigorous. While IN the
long run this business may be made up
and the nation will be benefited by the
increased crops, the immediate ERECT
is unfavorable. Manufacturing activ-
ity has increased at cotton mills and
several minor industries, but in iron
and steel there are more idle furnaces
and mills. Building permits are de-
creasing and structural work is not
prosecuted with the vigor that was
seen last year. Lumber is firm, despite
the moderate demand. The railways
continue prosperous, earnings for DC
tober SURPRISING last years by 62.2 per
cent
Disappointment has been experienced
by those who believed that quotations
for iron and steel would go no lower.
Bessemer pig at Pittsburg holds fairly
steady, but gray forge and Southern
foundry irons are off 25 to 90 cents
ton, while many forms of steel in fin
ished condition or partly manufactured
are weaker in price, although conu-
tons improve in so far as the size OF
stocks is concerned. Sheets, plates,
bars and cut nails are among the ar
ticIes on which reductions are reported,
and steel billets were put nearer a
parity with pig iron, the pool price be-
ing reduced from $27 to $23. Rails are
maintained at $2S for standard weight,
the railroads constantly placing small
orders. Reports of extensive export
sales are heard and contradicted, but
it is certain this branch of trade is re-
ViVing, as prices become more attract
tive to foreign consumers.
With the extensive restriction OF
blast furnace activity, there is reason
to look for steadier markets in the near
future, and throughout the industry 1t
is believed that large contracts will be
placed whenever buyers are satisfied
that no better terms can be antict-
pated.
Less pronounced conservatism is
shown by purchasers of cotton goods,
and there is evidently more desire to
secure deliveries without looking for
concessions in prices. Wooden goods
are even more adversely affected by
high temperatures. Many New Eng
land shoe factories have concluded fall
business and are taking Inventories
Hides have declined in a few isolated
cases, but the general impression is
that the market has reached bottom.
There were 246 failures this week
in the United States, against 253 last
week, 279 the preceding week, and 189
the corresponding week last year. Fall
ures in Canada this week number %,
against Is last week, 26 the preceding
week, and 81 last year.

party built log cabins and planted their

were continuous rains for weeks at a

the jungle fever broke out and wrought
havoc among the colonists. Their pro-

months more than half the entire party
had died. The party which came back
did so on funds furnished by their former

Cherokee.

SAN DOMINGO, Nov. 5.-A Don1in-
lean warship stopped the Clyde line,
steamer Cherokee as the latter was
nearing Puerto Plata and informed the
captain that he could not enter that
port. The Cherokee then proceeded
for SANTANA and was also prevented
from entering the port, the minister, of
war ordering the captain of the Cher
okee to proceed direct to the capital.
On the arrival Of the vessel here the
government demanded that the cargo
intended for Puerto Plata and SANTANA
be- landed at, this. port. The agent, OF
the company and the captain of the
Cherokee refused to- comply with this
demand and appealed to United States
Minister Powell for protection. Min
lister Powell interviewed the president
and argued that, since the government
of Santo Domingo had not advised the
foreign legations of any blockade, 1t
could not prevent the Cherokee from
entering the ports of Puerto Plata ana
SANTANA, and insisted that the cargo
should be landed at its destination
The president in. reply reiterated ms
demand that the CherOkee's cargo De
landed toSan Domingo, but this Min
lister Powell refused to permit and de-
clared he would hold the government
responsible should any violent action
be adopted toward the Cherokee.
When the Cherokee was ready to
leave for Aqua, clearance papers We're
refused and it~iWasa again demanded
that she land her cargo at this port.
Minister Powell wrote a sharp note to
the government demanding permit
for the Cherokee to depart. The gov
eminent refused sto allow a pilot to
board the vessel, and Minister Powell
then instructed Capt. Archibald to take
his ship out and proceed for Aqua,
it at the ports of. destination.
The energetic action of Minister
Powell has causedsta great sensation,
especially as his Proceeding lacked the
