dred times by shot that he had swal-
lowed when eating wild game that had
fallen to his gun, Chris Larson of Me-
lntos died in the Bethesda hospital
at Crookston, while his medical attend

aliment.
q post norton examina ton revealed
the astonishing condition Of the man,
condition such as never has been no.
ted before in modern surgery.
Larson owned an eighty acre farm
near Mcintosh. He was extremely ec-
centric and refused to sleep anywhere
but on heap of straw in a stable, with
his horses and cattle-never having
any more adequate covering than an
old binder canvas.
His diet consisted mainly Of wild
game, such as rabbits, prairie chickens,
ducks and geese, supplemented with
additions of vegetables as he was able
to raise on the farm Altho eccentric,
he was thrifty and managed to work
his land to good advantage.

Unusual Fatality.

Unusual Fatality.
Arthur Proehl, the nine-year-o1d son
of Mrs. Elizabeth Proehl, who resides
with her father, Henry Beneke, in
Rich Valley, near Glencoe, was killed
IN a peculiar manner
The little fellow went to the hem
house to gather some eggs, and had to
climb up to reach the upper tier of the
nests
His weight on the tier pulled it over
and it fell, carrying the boy with it,
pinning him down on the floor in the
corner of the coop in such manner
that his mouth and nose were forced
into the hollow of his left arm, which
had become doubled under his face as
he fell.
The weight of the box was SO great
that the boy was una BILE to move itand
he was suffocated, being dead when
found ten minutes later by his uncle,
John Beneke
Cost of Corn.
The results for 1902 bf the statistical
Investigations at Northfeld, Marshall
and Halstad, which are being carried
on by the state experiment station and
by the statistical bureau of the United
States department Of agriculture, are
being summarized These investiga-
tions were undertaken to secure facts
for the use of all the farmers of the
state as to the cost, returns and pro-
fits of each line of business on the farm
It was found that the cost of grow
ing an acre Of field corn, including cut
ting, shocking and shredding, was
$14. 83. The cost each acre when husk-
ing on the hill was $11.81.
Some of the factors used, as Is cents
an hour for man labor and Z a cents an
hour for horse labor, have not been
finally settled upon, hence the footings
may be changed before the facts are

oLEoMARGARlNe LAW UPHELD.
Court Says Tax on Colored Article Is
Constitutional.

The United States Supreme Court has
handed down decision declaring CON
stitutional the act OF Congress which
imposes tax of 10 cents a pound on
oleomargariue when coIored like butter.
This verdict is ex. etcd TO make il diff
cult for Autterine manufactures TO exist.
The Issue was taken to the Supreme
Court as the result of the prosecution
by United States officials of Leo w.
McCray. Fifty pounds of oleomargarine,
colored like butter, were bought by Me
Cray for resale On his stock he raid
a tax Of onc-quarter OF / cent pound,
which is the tax on uncolored oieomar-
garine, instead Of the tax Of 10 cents
pound. which Congress has declared
should Ue paid on all oleomargarine col
ored to look like butter. McCray was
convicted in Ohio and then the case was
appealed.
According to the men interested In the
making Of butterne in Chicago, the bay
ment Of the tax not only means loss Of
the money. hut il also means a loss Of
all the money spent in the building of
the factories. There is 30 loophole Of
any kind for either the government or
the butterime manufacturers The dccis-
icl says explicitly what constitutes col
oIed butterine, and declares the law TO
be constitutional

CAPTURE OF KINGDOM.
Stronghold Taken by Nikado's Men
After Desperate Battle.


After Desperate Battle.
Kinchow. a strongly fortified position
near the narrowest point OF the Lao
tung peninsula, or the Regents Sword,
as it is called by the japanese and Chi
nese, was captured Thursday by Gen.
oku's forces after desperate battle.
The first assault was delivered Hpon
Nangkwanling. a little TO the south Of
kinchow. Here, apparently, the Jap
anese feet gave assistance in the heavy
bombardment, When this position was
carried Il fearful struggle followed for
the great castle at Kinchow. which must
have been strengthened very Iuch by
the Russians since it offered formidable
resistance ~ the japanese in the war
with China ten years ago. Now that
kinchow has fallen and the Russians
have retreated to the southwark, the
way seems open for a determined attack
upon the approaches to Port Arthur,
thirty-two miles to the south.
japanese losses in the fighting at Kin
chow were estimated ut 1900, and re-
ports put the Cars casualties even
greater than this.
The japanese captured KinchOw the
first time on Nov. q. 1894 Two weeks
later they were in control Of Port Ar

their first landing at Pitsewo, However,

that he had beer at sea and did not know
