WILL SHUT DOWN.
Over Production Leads to a Brief
Suspension of Grinding.
From Fridays Daily.

L IOm Elludy bdlly.
The Hubbard mill shut down this
morning until Monday night. All of the
leading mills in the state are also shut
down, under a common understanding,
and for two days not wheel will be
turned. This agreement was made be-
cause of overproduction of -four by the
mills of the state that has caused accum-
ulation of stocks.
A mass meeting of the millers of the
country is to be held at Detroit, Mich,
in June, to consider matters of vital in
terest to themselves. The principal sub
ject that will be up for consideration
will be the discrimination of the rail
road and steamship lines in favor of
wheat as against flour. This discrimina-
ton is said to have been going on for
some time and has had a marked effect
on the export trade CT the country in
flour The result has been that wheat
has been shipped to Europe to be ground
there, to the detriment of American
capital and labor.
The milling industry is the greatest
in Minnesota, as more wheat is grown
here than in any other state. The price
of wheat has been built up higher than
elsewhere
The Detroit meeting will not take up
the matter of prices.
Every flour mill in Minneapolis closed
down last night for an indefinite period
Two thousand men are thrown out of
employment.

TANKE DENIES STORY
He Says New UIm Man Is Not Tell
ing the Truth.
Claim That a New Witness Has Been
Found Against Tanke.
This Man Would Upset Tanke's
Alleged Alibi.
The Condemned Man Is Anxious For
New Trial.
From Fridays Daily.

New Ulm, Mimi, April ia new wit
ness in the Tanke case has turned up in
the person of the hired man who boarded
with Tanke's father During the pro-
gress of the trials persistent effort was
made to get his testimony, but he con-
stantly maintained that he was absent
from the house on the night Tanke was
reported to have oeeIi there.
Tanke's abb was that he was at his
fathers at the time when Wellner was
said to have been shot, and that he
brought goose to the house before s
o'clock. This man says that now the
case is settled he can tell his story. He
says he quit work at six o'clock and
walked to the Tanke house, where he re-
manned with the family until nine
o'clock, and that Frank Tanke did not
appear, but that about o'clock the next
morning Frank came to the house, bring
ing a goose for the old folks.
The man says ne and Frank Tanke
came from the same part Of Germany
and were old friends, and for that reason
he remained silent. His testimony
would have destroyed Tanke's alibi, as
all of his relatives at his fathers swore
that he spent the evening with them.
Tanke was shown the above dispatch
to The Minneapolis Journal this after
noon at the county Jail, and denied the
truth of the statement made by the New
Ulm man. He says that he reached his
home at S p. IN. and remained there
half an hour. Then he went up town
and visited a saloon, where he first saw
the man mentioned in the New Ulm dis
patch but might not have been seen by
him. Tanke then went to the dance and
did not get home until ) a. m. He left
the goose at the house when he was there
at S p. m.
Tanke states that he was not acquaint-
ed with this man in the old country,
but that his parents were. He boarded
with Tanke's parents, and is a carpen-
ter by trade. Tanke does not give him
a very good sendroff. He thinks that he
fell out with his parents and therefore
made this statement
Tanke is hoping for a new trial, and
says that it would result in his acquittal.
He says that he. does not want to 90 to
saltwater, as he does not belong there
being innocent. He lays the entire blame
on his wife,, and says that he would not
have married her if he had known what
she had done. At the time of the muir
der he did not care anything for her.

Winthrop.

COMMERCIAL JUSTICE.

There is difference between a soft
heart and kind heart.
Soft-hearted people do many things
they should not do and refuse to do
some things they should do.
Kind, hearted people are more anX-
:ous to be useful than soft-hearted
people are.
And kind hearted people are more
useful than soft-hearted people, be-
.ause they think and discriminate.
The most useful person is the one
who helps another to self-help. but to
do this requires intelligence and soft
Hearted people are not intelligent.
1t requires certain amount of
blood in the brain to be intelligent and
soft heart cannot pump that neces-
sary amount SO high. Hard hearted
people are more likely to become kind
hearted than soft-hearted people are.
A big man told me this noon that
he had always been an easy marx and
soft hearted and that it would be for
his good to become selfish. told him
what he needed was not selishness,
but the accuracy of commercial JUS
tice.
He has hired, given to and helped
Others to their injury and he has re-
fused some to his and their injury.
His refusalS were during momen-
tary reform effort or by blindness. He
now wants to become selfish for the
rest Of his life. but he cannot.
While it is, in his mind. impossible
to become selfish, though he thinks he
wants to. in my mind there is a daily
exercise for his heart and head which
will help him to grow commercial
justice and become more useful to
others and less troublesome to him
self.
Let him spend minute day hunt
ing his memory for an event worth re-
cording for the use of others, then
write down something, though it may
not be as good as he would like to
have it. Day by day in time he will
get better ones and uncOnsciously
feed himself mentally and morally.
