Originality.

This is an age of originality; yet in
the strained endeavor to be original we
find indications that thoughts travel
about, seeking mind in which to pause
only for an instant, then passing on to
Others, thus making one persons work
singularly like that of many others.
Particularly is this noticeable in the
multitude of breakfast foods now on the
market. The one original wheat food
many limitations, it has no equal.

BRINGS SAME PRICE.
Buyers Pay Same for New Wheat as
for the Old.
From THURSDAYS Daily.

for the Old.
From Thursdays Daily.
Beginning with today, the same price
is being paid in Mankato for new wheat
as for old wheat. This is because the
old wheat has been practically all mar
keted, and because the new wheat is so
hard and dry and of such fine quality.
The price paid for all No. ! wheat on
the market today was $l.06. No other
kind of wheat is coming in than No.
wheat.
A gentleman who was out to st. Clair
yesterday states that he saw ten
threshing machines in operation along
the road. The farmers are pushing
along their threshing operations, so as
to get their wheat marketed, and take
advantage of the present high price.
In the eastern part of the county the
fields are mostly all going from twenty
bushels to the acre upwards. 1t is only
where the soil is heavy and wet that
the rust has done any damage.

DOING A LIVELY STUNT.
Minnesota Hens Lay Over 10000
Dozen Eggs Yearly.

Dozen Eggs Yearly.
From Thursdays Daily.
Minnesota is becoming quite an egg
and poultry state. The hens in this
state lay over 100000 dozen each
year. According to the United States
census reports the shipments from Min
nesota points in 1900 were valued at
$4,436,l4S. In regard to poultry, Min
nesota in 1900 had S,l4O,693 chickens,
valued at $2,273,64S. In the same year
Wisconsin had SAT- $40, valued at 3d.
4lO,7l4, and Iowa 20,S43, 347, valued at
$6,535.474. By these figures one can
readily see that this state is fast over
taking Wisconsin, but is long way be-
hind Iowa, which is the banner egg
and poultry state in the Union. In ten
years Wisconsin's increase is only 80
per cent while Minnesota's is over 100
per cent. Eggs and poultry are now sew
enth in the list of farm products in
this state, but it's only question of
time when they will be as valuable as
the butter is.

ANNIVERSARY OF OUTBREAK.
New UIm Was Attacked Forty-two
Years Ago Today.
From Thursdays Daily.

Forty-two years ago today, the first
attack was made on New Ulm, in the
Indian outbreak. George w. Scherer's
older sister remembers distinctly every
event in that exciting day. She saw
the Indians having their war dance on
the bluffs. Near where she was stand
ing, watching the performance, was a
man who lifted little child up so she
could the better see the dancing. Just
then bullet struck the brick wall of a
building and glanced aside and struck
and killed the child in the mans arms.
This was the first fatality during the
attack.
New Ulm has no general observance of
the day this year.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inflamed condition of the

rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation

lie Chicago rate and when they declined
to act the threat was made effective.
From Mankato to Chicago the rate is
now 10 cents and today the owners of
the interior mills can buy their wheat
on the Minneapolis market and deliver
it to consumers as cheaply as their more
powerful competitors.
"Such is the cause of the breach that
is said to exist and the shabby treat
ment accorded the Milwaukee road may
prove an incentive to building the con-
nection between Granite Falls and Man
kato. Should this be done the advan-
tages to accrue to New Ulm could not
be estimated. The local mills would be
especially benefited, for the Milwaukee
extends as far as Berkeley, n. d.; is the
only road entering Eureka, S. D., the
greatest primary wheat market in the
world, and gathers immense quantities
of the grain in the Red River valley.
This source of supply would be practi-
cally unlimited and the mills could prob
ably afford to double or treble their ca
pacities.
"Other lines of business would profit
also, for the acquisition would open an
enormous territory to the New Ulm
brewers and give the city shipping facil-
itiessfully as good as those of Mankato.
With an outlet into North Dakota,
wholesale and jobbing houses would with
out doubt locate here and the small
towns that would spring up in the Min
nesota River valley between this place
and Granite Falls would not decrease the
rural trade materially. In competition
with each other the two great systems,
the Northwestern and Milwaukee, would
doubtless reduce the through rate to
Chicago and thus add another to the list
of benefits.
Everything considered the PROPOSE
ton seems and is meritorious,' and is
project that the New Ulm Commercial
Union could well afford to encourage.
Some correspondence has been received
by local parties relative to it and it
would do no harm to send delegation of
influential men to take up the matter
with the railway officials"

Reward for Guilty Parties.

The recent burning of the opera house
at Elysian is believe to have been the
act of a firebug, and the village authori-
ties offer reward for the conviction of
the guilty person. The national board of
fire underwriters has added $3.50 to the
reward, and this will insure thorough
investigation.

RISE IN FLOUR.
Wheat Prices Make Breadstuffs Cost.
ly--Advance in Mankato.
From Thursdays Daily.

As might have been expected the rise
in wheat has had the effect of raising
the price of flour. Superlative -four is
today selling at $40 per hundred
pounds. Mankato flour is bringing
$3.50. This is higher than flour has
ever reached since the collapse of Lei
ter's wheat boom on the Chicago board
of trade. Letter in the early part of
May, 1898, had so raised the price of
wheat that Superlative flour sold at
81 per hundred pounds; while Mankato
flour was only ten cents cheaper.
