on the Future.

If you are looking for opportun.
ity or investment try the Southwest
All over the Southwest, cities and
towns are growing up, expanding,
requiring more, demanding more,
peopled by eager, pushing, wide
awake citizens, who see the virtue
of encouraging enterprises of every
kind, the needfulness of getting
more aud better facilities, and more
hands to develop the country.
Briefly the condition is'this: The
Southwest is really in need OF moth.
ing save people. More men are
wanted. In the Southwest are vast
areas of unimprovcd land-land not
yielding the crops of which it is ca
pable. The same thing, in differ
ent way. il true of the towns. Few
lines of business are adequately
represented. There are openings of
all sorts-for mills and manufac.
turing plants, for small stores of all
kinds, for banks, newspapers and
lumber yards. Mechanics and pro.
feshional men, both are in demand.
Tell us what you want, how much
you have to invest, and we'll help

BANKER EMBEzzLES
Takes $4,000 and Cleveland
Concern Closes.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jan. 22.-The
Produce Exchange Banking company
closed its doors today. The insolvency
court has appointed the Cleveland
Trust company as receivers. The as
sets and liabilities are each placed at
| 81 $780, 900. Attorney Andrew Squire,
on behalf of the bank, made the follow
ing statement:
"There is a defalcation Of $4,000,
which is more than the paid-in capital
and surplus combined. The original
capital was 100000, but only $50 per
share was paid ia The depositors will
be, protected fully. The stockholders
viii have to pay in 100000 more on
their capital stock and $20O,000 IN
stockholders liability.
.eThe directors worked all day trying
to make up the deficiency, but the bur-
den was too heavy, and they decided
TO close the bank For many years the
defaulting official has been speculating
in Chicago grain. He covered his
speculations by manipulating the
hanks loan accounts. He voluntarily
confessed yesterday"
Branches of the bank at Defiance,
Hudson and Bedford, Ohio, will be
closed.
An official of the bank is now under
guard at his home. He will be taken
before the grand jury tomorrow MORN
ing, and will, according to statements
of other bank officials, plead guilty to
the charge of embezzlement. An In
dictment will be brought against him
and the case hurried to trial. There Is
| uneasiness among the depositors, many
of whom are small street merchants
The irregularity has been going on for
eight years.

NATIONAL INSPECTION
OF GRAIN IS WANTED.
TrState Grain and Stock Growers Convention Shows
Under Committee Report Which "Knocks" McCum.
ber's Bill and Suggests Reorganization of Minnesota
inspection Board-Report Tabled, Ten to One.
Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
FARGO, N. D., Jan. 22.-The Tri-
State Grain and Stock Growers conven-
ton today virtually indorsed Senator
McCumber's national grain inspection
bill by Overwhelmingly defeating the
report of the special committee ap-
pointed to Investigate the matter. The
committee was composed of E. D.
Childs, of Crookston, Mimi; D. l.. Wall
man, F'razee, Mimi, and J. P. Rance,
Webster, s. D. The committee an
nounced that 1t was at first favorable
to national inspection, but after an ex-
animation of the bill concluded 1t was
bad measure. The report said
AS 1t is a national measure, applying
to every grain market in the country,
the conditions at different markets are
so widely different that rules that
would apply to one would be detri-
mental to another; that the McCumber
bill has been drawn in reference to local
rather than general conditions; that
the subject is of such a wide range
that 1T requires more investigation and
thought than the author apparently
gave 1t.
1AS committee recommend tnat
Minnesota inspection be placed under
the civil service and old politicians
and barnaeles be eliminated and the
same care taken in grading all other
grains as is now given flax The
committe thinks this plan would give
satisfaction, and requests that Mr..
McCumber drop his present bill. 1t
is suggested that in the regular reso-
luttons the convention request the
Minnesota legislature to amend it's
present inspection laws to conform
with these suggestions"
The appointment of committee for
the preparation of a grain inspection
measure to report next year was sug-
gested.
Report Is Tabled.
When the report was read this after
noon the North Dakota members of the
convention were indignant, and the
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1904-01-23

matter resolved itself into scrap be-
tween the two states. The North Da-
kotanS felt that an effort was being
made by the Minnesota grain interests
to discredit the North Dakota senator
and resented 1t. There was quite a
fight and several warm speeches made,
but the report was tabled, ten to one
On the report of the committee on
the future of the association, ii was
decided that as the organization had
been maintained by an independent
movement 1t would be better to trans
fer 1t to the farmers institute board
of this state, which could officially
conduct meetings and have proceedings
printed in the annual institute report
for the benefit of farmers. This action
eliminated officers.
The forenoon was devoted to short
talks on Crop Rotation" by Hover
stad, of Crookston, and Bush, of Min
nesOta; Flax Wilt" by Bolley, of the
agricultural college, who recently re-
turned from Russia, where he was sent
by the government to investigate the
disease; Seed Selection" by Prof.
Worst; cultivation of Corn" by Gree
ley of South Dakota.
In the afternoon, Greeley, of South
Dakota: Mrs. Laws, of Minnesota, and
Pure Food Commissioner Ladd, of this
state, spoke. The latter reported he
had cut the sale of impure foods from
72 to 80 per cent. He was given a vote
of thanks for his work. The resolu-
tions committee had little that was
new.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson was
thanked for sending three representa-
tives of his department here for ad-
dresses.
The convention concluded tonight,
with addresses by Mrs. Laws and Prof.
Mcdowell of the agricultural college,
after a band concert. The attendance
was very large at all three sessions.
The live stock men elected j. n.
| Shepperd, of the agricultural college,
president; G. F. Massingham, of Man
dan, first vice president; Charles Nc
Kusick, Mayville, second vice presi-
dent; E. S. Delaney, Valley City, sec
retary, and G. S. Barnes, Fargo, treas
l urer.

WORTH Of DIAMONDS
Minneapolis Police Recover
Baroness Radzikwele's Gems
and Arrest Walters.

James Walters, alias r. L. Stafford,
was arrested last night in Minneapolis

STORY OF SKELETON
When Read 1t May Reveal Old.
Time Tragedy.

Special to The Globe.
LA CROSSE, Wis, Jan. IA find
which may prove the solution to the
disappearance and probable murder of
two residents of Kendall was made by
two hunters a short distance from that
village, when a complete human skele-.
ton was found hidden under pile OF
heavy stones. There were no marks
by which the skeleton could be identi-
fed, but from marks of violence crime
is evident.
The sportsmen had tracked badger
to the pile of stones and uncovered
what they thought would be his lair.
The skeleton had evidently been in its
position for some years and the bones
were entirely free from flesh.
Aoout three years ago two farmers,
residing near Kendall, mysteriously
disappeared, and the efforts of the au-
thorities to discover their whereabouts
were fruitless. 1t is now believed that
the skeleton is the remains of one OF
these men, Several crimes have been
recorded where the body of the victim
was never found, and 1t may be the
means of uncovering a deed of much
earlier date.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Jan. 22.-Lulled
into a sense of security in the early
evening by the rapidity with which the
Allegheny was carrying the ice and
water from the upper streams into the
Ohio, Pittsburg went to sleep tonight
with the belief that the warnings of
danger from the rivers had been exag
gerated, but at this hour a new danger
has arisen.
The Monongahela has broken loose.
Huge masses of ice, trees broken, which
came rushing down the sister stream
all day, are choking the harbor. Both
streams are steadily rising, the Aile-
gheny already being three feet higher
than her consort stream, and as con-
sequence dangerous ice gorge is now
forming between the Wabash and
Smithfield street bridges, just above
the confluence of the two rivers. From
all points the streams are still reported
to be rising.
Business men, mill owners, residents
and river men are included in the list
of sufferers. The poor in some of the
low lying sections of the two cities
may be hemmed in their homes until
Sunday night.
AT mldmgnt the markings showed 20
feet in the Allegheny 25.8 feet of water
In the Monongahela.
One river man said tonight that the
extent of the damage wrought by the
Ice could not be estimated until to-
morrow, but it will mount high into
the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
This, coupled with the losses sustained
by railroads, business houses, manu-
facturers, street car companies, govern
ment works and residents, probably will
put the loss above the $1,000,O00 mark.
At midnight the Pittsburg & Western
railway is out of business and the Bal
timore & Ohio system is sending it's
trains to Youngstown over the Lake
Erie.
