WHEAT GERM OIL
HAS SOME VALUE
MAY BECOME A VALUABLE BY
PRODUCT OF THE MILLS.
Minneapolis Men Have Manufactured
Three Gallons of the Oil-Method
of Its Extraction Is Still Too Ex-
pensiye to Make Its Production.
Profitable.

Wheat germ oil will eventually at
tain a commercial value, but not
much is known of the qualities of the
unrefined oil and methods of its ex-
traction have not been perfected so that
1t is possible to produce Oil with
profit. To what use the oil can be
put, unless extracted In such large.
quantities as to allow it to compete
with cotton seed and other cheap oils,
is still "a problem.
James F.. Bell. who has charge of
the chemical work Of the Washburn-
Crosby company, and Frank w. Em-
mons, the chemist, have manufactured
neapolis and are still studying the
question.
The germ is very small part Of
the wheat grain--abont Las per cent.
The wheat contains about 8 per cent Of
the oil. and the wheat germ from 10 to
yield about. $50 pounds Of oil, or
thirty gallons Of oil for a ton of germ.
Professors G. B. Frankfurter and e.
p. Harding Of the state university con-
sidered the subject at some length In
a pamphlet printed some time ago.
Professor Harry Snyder takes up the
subject again in the last Northwestern
Miller The subject of commercial
value is not yet cleared up, however.
Some of the things the oil is not
good for have been found. In its
crude state it is not drying oil, and is
therefore not good for paints or pig
ments. It has some of the character
|.istics Of olive oil, but would have to
be refined. and made palatable to be
good for food purposes and the laxa-
tive alkaloid particularly would have
to be eliminated. It has enough Wis
costly to be Of some use as lubrl-
cant.
It is possible that when some of the
| indefinite constituents of the oil are
definitely assigned they may be found
to have some value, possibly to the
| druggist. If placed on the market as
a crude oil it possibly might bring SO
cents Refined to a good product the
I oil should bring a higher price, and
could be used as an iadulterant of olive
oil. For cattle feeding, it should be
| just as valuable asais the germ.
It has been found by Mr.. Bell and
his chemists that the germ is better
j for feeding purposes after the1aon is
removed. The percentage of proteids
is increased and the germ has better

methods fail altogether, but since il
has been discovered that the oil may

reason why wheat germ oil should moi

bessie CAN I
KICK ANY MORE
JOHN CASEY'S INVENTION WOULD
PREVENT CHICAGO FIRES.
Attached to the Legs of a Light Heeled
Cow, There Is No Danger to the
Mixer or the Lamp-Patent just
Secured BY Mr.. Casey of Casey,
Mimi.

John Casey Of Casey, Mimi, has
clrcumvented the, roam COW who has
been wont to attempt to kick the
nailkmaid "out Of the hitherW here into
the jyon. Kicking cows are no longer
to be feared any more than cooling
doves The life of the hired man on
dairy farm will become more or less
of a. ramble thru Elysian fields.
BY means of the Casey invention it
will be impossible for Boss" to in
sert; her unmanxcured hoof into the
bucket and spoil the prospects of the
cats and pigs for SKINNED milk. She
will be denied the time honored priv
ilege of leaving footprints in the ribs
of the shutdown mixer or awakening
the drowsy swain in the morning with
a jab in the forehead. The kicking
COW is a thing of the past, and those
who are accustomed to daily with the
lowing kline will call John Casey
blessed. .s.... .-.s.,..s.,
Casey is the inventor of an anti
kicker -; Williamson & Marchant,
patent attorneys, have acted as a
guide for Casey. thru the maze of
the patent office, and Casey has just
been awarded patent upon his hui
manitarian device. tt is an invention,
simple, but answering a demand of
agrarian circles It consists of a bent
strip of steel strapped to the devastat-
ing leg of the COW. It is strapped into
| place in few seconds and not only
prevents an increase in the death rate
of the mixers union, but does not
| injure the COW in any way. It acts
as splint and effectively prevents
| the COW from taking liberties with the
| advance agent of the creamery.
| The leg is virtually made jointless
| for the time being. The only thing
left for the COW is to refuse to "give
down. and with the Casey anti
kicker in place the hired man car
slug her in the flank and. use such
other moral suasion as he sees fit tc
A compel her to take a philosophic view
Of the situation and allow him to fiji

The song Of the meadow lark and the

ing vans are to have a simultaneous in
PRODUCTION to the delinquent taxpayers of
Hennepin county next month.
The coming of spring has turned the
sheriff's thoughts toward plans for serv-
ing personal tax warrants upon the de-,
Iinquents. The success which last spring
attended the moving vans raids has led
to the determination to continue that
mode of collection. AS soon as the war
rants are turned over to him on April 20
the work of collection will begin.
In the meantime executions of judy
ments secured against delinquents of other
years are being served every day, with
fairly good returns. One and sometimes
two OF! the office deputies are kept en-
ployed with this work, and now that court
has adjourned for few weeks more men
will be thus employed.

IS IN VIRGINIA
W. J. Bryan Went There to Help His Friend H. C.
 Davis.

Wheeling, W. Va, Oct 24.-William J. Bryan spoke to large crowd early to-day. MT Bryan said he was sorry he could not make a longer stay in West Virginia, as in the last campaign Senator Henry G. Davis had worked heart and soul for 1ino and now he was returning the favor. He said that while the money question was not the paramount issue this time he had de termined to carry on the fight against imperialism, as that was what threat ened the people of this country at this time more than any other one thing.
 He said that Judge Parker stands for the constitution and government most adaptable to this age. He con demned the colonial policy and said ment of the army It had cost the coun- try $115,OOO,O0O since the last repub- lican administration and now MT Roosevelt wants it increased $415, ,OO0,- GOO more.
 'sI think it time that the republicans are giving us reasons for these in creased expenditures" said MT Bryan. Tn closing he referred to the full din ner pail by saying that when he reached Ohio he found that Senator Beveridge had turned the dinner pail into coffee pot and that there were reasons to believe that the coffee rot would be turned into water pitcher at the present rate of progress for the poor man. MT Bryan arrived in Wheel ing Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. He departed this morning over the Wheel ing & Lake Erie for Bridgeport, Ohio, where after making fifteen minute speech he left for Canton, Ohio, at 7:3O o'clock this morning, and will make speeches en route.
 Senator Fairbanks left in his private car this morning for Ohio points, l1av- ing been in Wheeling since Saturday afternoon.

MORE GRAFT.
Plot to Bleed Bremen Just Discovered in New
 York.

New York, Oct 24.-Fire Commis- sioner Hayes has announced the dis covery of a plot to obtain from fire men on the eligible list for promotion to higher grades large sums of money. The commissioner was informed of the matter through knowledge which came to priest in the performance of his church duties.
 One of the fremen on the eligible list, on the advice of the priest, called upon the commissioner and stated that man who is known to make busi- ness of lending money to city employees had offered to secure the fireman inn mediate promotion by the use of $1,- O00 According to the fireman, the money lender used the name of Com missioner Hayes, who was to figure in the transaction. News of the plot aroused the commissioners ire and he made rigid investigation during which, he says, it was learned at least two other fremen had been imposed upon by being led to believe they would at once be chosen from the eh- gible list for promotion by the use of money. It is likely the whole matter will be placed before the district at torney for further investigation.

A DEpLoRABLE ACCIDENT.

Lenox, Mass. Oct 24--Sir Mortimer Durand, the British ambassador. said today concerning the attack of the Russian squadron upon British north sea fishing vessels: Tt seems a de plorable accident, which, of course, will be explained.
 Ambassador Durand, up to 10 o'clock to-day, has received no official dispatches concerning the matter.
 Having no official intelligence, :" said the ambassador, T really cannot permit myself to discuss so serious q matter when wholly ignorant of the facts and of the feeling in England.
 ssIt seems deplorable accident, which of course will be explained. Such condition was wholly unfore- seen I positively must refrain from discussing it's diplomatic effects and consequences. It is not at all likely that shall receive advices on, this matter at once, as it is not the custom of the home office to cable it's ambas- sadors on matters not directly relating to their posts.

 She was lowing before the altar near which a number of candles were burning. Her devotions concluded, she rose to leave the church. when her dress came in contact with candle and in an instant she was ablaze.
 Only few worshippers were in the church at the time and their attention was attracted by the agonized cries of the centenarian. They ran to the wo- mans rescue, but too late. She died in agony a few minutes after her re- moval from church.

CHEATED CHAIR.
Convicted Murderer Killed Himself I'm the Tombs
 To-Day.

New York, Oct 24. Frank Gustaf, son, convicted murderer who to-day was to have been sentenced to death in the electric chair, committed suicide during the night by hanging himself in his cell in the Tombs prison. Taking advantage of the absence of the guard between rounds, Gustarson attached his leather belt to the iron rail at the head of his bed, placed his head in a loop at the other end of the belt, and then, allowing his body to settle down, slowly strangled to death. When the guard again reached the cell on his rounds Gustafson was dead.
 On the night of June last Gustafson shot his wife, Augusta, 28 years old, in their home in West Fifty first street, killing her instantly, and at the same time shot and seriously wounded his brother-in -in-law, Eric Johnson, and & visitor at the house, Miss Ellen Blus- son. The two latter victims recov- cred.
 His trial last Tuesday took just thirty minutes. He offered no defense and the jury made quick work of his case. He was then committed to the Tombs prison for sentence today.

LIFE IN DANGER.
A New York Hotel Man is Threatened, and
 S5.OOO Asked

E New York, Oct 24.-Three letters, each containing demand for $5,0OO under penalty of death or injury to himself and family for refusal, are reported to have been received by the proprietor of new hotel in upper Fifth avenue.
 Guests of the hostelry-one of the richest in the country, were startled last Wednesday morning by an explo- sion. Inquirers were told that the noise was caused by the bursting of an electric light globe, but it now de- velops, according to the Herald that the would-be b1ackmailers, having failed to carry out their plan, set off a light charge of some explosive out side the proprietor's apartment on the fourteenth floor of the hotel
 The present police theory points to the attempt as the work of some en- ploye or employees of the hotel. Half a dozen city detectives have been at work on the case for some days. When the second letter was received they disguised man to look like the hotel proprietor and had him follow the let ter writers Instructions, dropping a package supposed to contain $5,OOO at given place. The detectives were se- creted for several hours where they could observe the neighborhood, but no on appeared to take the letter and the next day fresh threat was received stating that the ruse was known to the writer.
