An attempt is made to make it
ocoear that morality is the issue in
the present city campaign. Why
those who put up and are support
;ro the Bennett ticket should as
sume for themselves, or attribute to
their candidates, a superior moral
itv we have been unable to ascer-
tain and can account for it only on
the theory that some people are
benevolently blind to their own Pc
culiar failings. But, as matter OF
fact there is no question of moral
ity involved. The Bennett ticket is
composed of very good men,
though, candidly, there is nothing
extraordinary about them. They
ALL we believe, have quit drinking,
or, perhaps, never began. They
all stand for moral reform, but none
Of them move for it any faster than
the average citizen. Mr.. Madden
has been standing for moral reform
for year and eleven months. He
is still standing. DR.. Stalker has
been Standing for it, more or less,
for 10 years. He is still standing.
For one year, as mayor, Mr.. Rice
stood for moral reform and, to his
credit, he, also, is standing still.
The plain fact of the matter is that
there are no serious evils in Cald-
well to be reformed, except such as
God Almighty planted in the hu-
man breast, and His grace alone
can remove. So, what is the sense
Of those annual sham battles?
For ten years, with the bursting
Of the buds. this moral cry has
broken out. In that time, we have
had every form of administration
that fertile minds could concoct.

AWFUL DEATH AT VALLEY CITY.
A Former 500 Train Dispatcher at En-.

A Former 500 Train Dispatcher at En-.
delin Met Death in CHASTITY Form.
Frank ]. McMullen was killed at
Valley City recently as result of
falling under the N. P. pusher. The
deceased was a passenger on the ~
P. limited west bound and had gotten
off on the platform. When the train
started he made a run to catch the
rear coach and fell under the pusher
which helps the train over the hill
Both legs were cut off and he was
otherwise badly mangled. After the
pusher passed over his body. McMul-
len moved on the stubs of his legs to
the platform against which he rested
his body. 1t is not supposed that he
was conscious at this time, as the
movement seemed to be the result of
his death struggles. Respiration
ceased in about fifteen minutes after
the accident.
The dead man had been a 500 train
dispatcher at different times and was
once located at Enderlin. He had a
number of excellent recommendations
on his person, s17O in money, several
railroad passes and Identification
cards. His home address is 300
South Franklin street, st. Paul. It is
supposed that McMullen was enroute
west to accept railway position, or
was on a pleasure trip.

CROP OUTLOOK IN NORTHWEST.

a Larger Wheat Acreage, Probable Il
Later Weather Conditions Permit.
The Northwest lines up this year
with prospects favorable for bountiful
crops with reasonably favorable
weather from now on. Not for many
years has there been a season when
the matter of relative grain acreages
has been so difficult of determine
ton. For several years the North
west has been working away from
wheat as a predominating crop.
Dairying, stock raising and the gem
eral tendency toward diversification,
have been cutting into wheat, in favor
of coarse grains. Last year this
tendency showed in a larger total
acreage of corn, oats and barley than
ever before.
While this tendency was working,
two other influences arose. Flax
prices had great fall, and wheat
rose above the dollar mark for the
first time in years. The season opened
with every indication of a larger
wheat acreage. 1t was evident that
lCSS lax WOuIU UG RAISED, LudL I y
Northwest would go back toward the
old plan of wheat above everything
else. and that the tendency to in
crease other grain acreages would be
checked at least temporarily.
1t is still the disposition to plant
more wheat this year than last, but
so much of the important wheat land
lies in the Minnesota and Dakota
counties in the Red river valley that
change in few counties, as Cass
and Grand Forks or Clay and Wilkin
would affect the whole Northwestern
acreage materially. These counties
will put in more wheat if conditions
permit, but if seeding is too long de-
layed, considerable coarse grain may
go in on land originally assigned to
wheat.
The big advantage this year lies in
the abundant moisture which will
make later drouth damage extremely
improbable. The unfavorable feature
is the backward season. Last year
there was much late seeding on wet
ground, but work on the whole was
| ahead of the present slate.

Threatening foods in the Red River

to call on the secretary of the in
terror department to take up the feast
bility of the construction of a canal
between the Otter and Boise du Sioux
rivers so as to make these streams
empty into swamp and lake regions of
South Dakota. There is in the treas
ury now large, unexpended balance
of an appropriation made last year to
improve the critical situation at that
time and it is tn eobject of Dakotans
to have this sum and an additional
appropriation to remedy the present
conditions. Nothing definite has yet
been decided upon.
The senate to-day passed the Spald-

At Irish creek and vicinity the coun-

of the bed Of the stream. and has had
them on exhibition in the village for

Wisconsin University Professors Make

Madison, Wis, April ia method
for making absolutely pure iron at a
comparatively low cost has been dis
covered by c. f. Burgess, assistant
professor of electrical engineering at
the university, and Carl Hambueschin.
instructor in the department. The
discovery was the result of almost
three years research in the electro.
chemistry laboratory. Under the
method discovered by DIR. Burgess
and Mr.. Hambueschia pure iron can
be made for fraction of cent u
pound. About half ton has already
been produced at the electro-chemicai
laboratory. The process is similar TO
that used in refining copper, an cleo
trio current taking the impure iron
from plate, and depositing it in a
pure state upon another plate. The
pure iron has valuable properties not
possessed by ordinary iron or steel
and such as to make it useful for vari.
GUS purposes. 1t will be great help
to scientific research regarding the
properties of iron and steel. On &C
count of it's electrical properties it is
valuable material for the construction
of electrical apparatus, and it fur
nishes the means for making special
steel alloys having great strength and
