The syndicate which was interested
in the northwest advertised the fact
that 100000 bushels of wheat were
raised there in one year. That meant
the entire Dominion of Canada. Now
the syndicate can advertise the fact
that one state-Kansas-raises in a
year crop of wheat equal to what
was raised in the entire Dominion of
Canada
During the past three years many
Kansas farmers thought they would
better themselves in the northwest.

that the stories told were made up in
a large part out of the whole cloth.
Now scores of these farmers are COM

Cincinnati, Nov. 1S.-Only three horses
started in the Stag handicap at Latonia.
The track was very sloppy and after
the scratches the race looked easy for
Judge Hines. He was a 9 to 10 favor
lite in the betting and heavily played.
Fonsoluca was the second choice at S
to 3, while Tam. O'Shanter was to 1.
After chasing Tam O'Shanter for a mile
Judge Hines weakened and the race was
a two-horse contest thereafter Fonso-
luca won in the hardest kind of a drive
by a nose. Tam O'Shanter got the place
by three lengths. The only feature dur
ing the day was the victory of Miss
Aubrey, who galloped in the last race at
odds of 40 to l.

The poor. thin. emaciated dyspeptic,
when he becomes plump, rosy and ro-
bust, after using Mi-o-na, forgets that
there is such thing as indigestion.
This treatment is entirely different
from any other medicine or treatment
for dyspepsia. It is so different and so
uniformly successful that Rowley &
Snow want every reader of the State
Journal to take Mi-o-na for month at
their risk.
In order that there may be no mis-
understanding, they will give the fol-
lowing signed bond with every package:

PLAYING THE TIGERS. !"
Missouri Managers Say They Will
Use Some Substitutes

The people who write newspaper stor-
les for the Kansas City papers about the
football situation at Missouri university
seem to appreciate a good Joke. One
of the dispatches sent out from Column
bia about the football game to be played
today between Missouri and Washburn
starts off this way:
The strong Washburn team arrived
here this afternoon and all the players
were in superb condition.
Then the dispatch goes on to say:
Coach Mclean is going to use num-
Der of substitutes, so as to rest UP some
of the varsity men for the Kansas
game. Tillman, Izzy' Anderson, Ana
mosa, Ardinger and Hoff are not to be
used in the game at any cost. Today's
practice was devoted entirely to signal
practice, as Coach Mclean did not wish
to run any chances of injuring any
more of the men,"
If the last part is true, Washburn may
have some chance of beating Missouri
But If it is no more true than the first
part, it isn't worth two whoops in form
ing any opinion as to the outcome of
tcday'S game.
If Washburn is in superb condition it
must be the wonderful Missouri climate
which has made her SO. for a more bat
ted, bruised and disheartened lot Of foot
ball players never left the Santa Fe de-
pot than pulled out Tuesday morning
with tickets for Columbia, Mo. With
Caldwell barred from the game, Stewart
just out of a sick bed, Brown with
split head and Dadisman with an ear
the Gize and color of half a pound of raw
beef, it is apparent what great change
must have taken place to get the bunch
into superb" condition. Besides these
more important ailments, every man on
the team is lame and sore from the Sat
urday's game with Lindsborg.
There is some doubt as to what the
lineup will be today. Bob Stewart went
with the Washburn team, but he may
not play end as he did not get out of
bed from his last injury until Saturday.
If he does not play. Maxwell will take
his place. Bob Smith will take Cald-
wells half, and will play full back on
defense Anderson will play end on de-
tense instead of full back The Tigers
line, as given in the Kansas City papers
this morning will be as follows:

Little souaw-sylviaone's Merits.

There is a good deal of discussion
among Kansas horsemen as to the rela-
tive merits of the two Kansas pacing
mares, Sylviaone and Little Squaw. The
friends of Sylviaone's owner claim she
is a better race mare than Little Squaw,
although she has not got as low a mark
Sylviaone has a mark of 2:0SH, Little
Squaw's being 2:O41z. Sylviaone has
paced the last half of the mile in 1:02
on several occasions and some would
not be surprised to see her get a mark
of 2:04 or better next year.

Next Monday, August 81, is the date
fixed by Judge Loud for converting the
district court for Yellowstone county.
While his honor has set that day for
cou1s to be formally opened, it is not
likely that the session will continue

In accordance with the usual GUS

the customary orders and then adjourn

vantage OF the intervening recess to
open court in Rosebud and some OF the
other counties of the district.
The coming session promises to be
a busy and lengthy one, as no fewer

ARREST OF SUPPOSED DYNA.
INTER- AT MlssouLA.
IS BELIEVED TO Be INSANE
Says Track Was Crooked and Needed
straightening-sees Nothing
Wrong in the Deed.

Missoula, Aug. 27.-"Yes, it was l
who dynamited the Northern Pacific
bridge at Livingston three weeks ago.
l did it to straighten the track, which
was crooked, and 1 do not regret the
deed"
These were the words of Samuel l..
Cohen, 35 years of age, as he sat in
Sheriff Thompson's office this after
noon.
Cohen was arrested by officers Wat
son and ]. E. Cannon yesterday after
noon near Arlee, and at II o'clock last
night he was locked in the county Jail
here. He was unarmed and made no
resistance when approached by the
deputies. He willingly told his whole
story of the attempted destruction OF
the Northern Pacific bridge.
Believe Him Insane.
1t was his extreme candor which
leads the officers to believe the man
is insane.
A telephone message reached the
sheriff's office yesterday afternoon
that a man was wandering up and
down the track near Schley, who was
evidently insane.
When brought to Missoula Cohen
said his home is in Spokane and that
he is a sewing machine agent. He
claims to be a native of Ireland, al
though he bears a Jewish name. He
is a medium sized man with red hair
and sandy complexion. He is dressed
we'll and talks intelligently.
To Straighten Rails.
He said: 81 dynamited the North
ern Pacific bridge at Livingston.
had nothing to do with the blowing up
of the engine at Bozeman. / found the
dynamite by the side of the track and
as the rails were crooked I wanted tC
straighten them. l came west through
Missoula after that and stopped for
while at Sand Point and later at Spo
kane. l can see nothing wrong in my
deed"
Cohen is evidently insane on the
subject of dynamiting property. Or
other topics he seems to be rational.

WANTS ITS VALUE.
Minnesota Man sueing to Recover the
Price of a Horse.

According to the complaint he
caused to be filed with the clerk OF the
district court yesterday, P. P. Scott
of Mankato, Mimi, is of the opinion
that George Pirrie, a prominent flock
master of the northern part of the
county, is indebted to him in the sum
of $500, the alleged value of a stallion,
which he claims Pirrie sold and con-
verified the money to his W use.
Plaintiff charges that December Fl,
1900, he and defendant entered into
an agreement by which he delivered
| to defendant a certain stallion OF STAN
dard breed and weighing 1925 pounds,
five years old, which was to be taken
by Pirrie into Montana and there sold.
The conditions of the alleged agree
ment were that the horse should not
be sold for less than $500, all above
that amount to be divided equally be-
tween the two; the defendant to de-
fray the cost of transporting the horse
into this state and also his keep
| afterward until sold; defendant to
have the exclusive use OF the animal
in the meantime, and ii unable to
| sell the horse at the price agreed upon
to return him to the plaintiff within
a reasonable time.
Scott alleges thai Pirrie has sold the
stallion, receiving from him less than
$500, contrary to their alleged agree
ment, and. converted the money to his
own use. Having made demand upon
defendant for the amount and having
received no satisfaction, plaintiff
| therefore demands judgment in the
sum of $500 and interest at the rate
of s per cent. since the date OF filing
the action, and costs of the suit.
H. C. Crippen appears for o
