'HOMINY FAVORED
49, AAA = = - - ~ F52
BY The SULTAN
COL. e. e. CARR ENTHUSIASTIC
r OVER INDIAN. CORN.
Tells How He Popularized tho Illinois
Iowa-Indiana Staple in the High
Places Of Europe-1s Known as the
"Apostle Of Indian Corn How He
Preached at the Paris Expo.

Colonel C.. E. Carr, who was the
chief speaker at the banquet Of the
Hennepin county republican committee
last evening, is popularity known as
Hthe apostle Of Indian corn. - He is
the man who introduced it as an arti-
Gle of food for the people Of Europe.
In 1890, when he was minister at Co
penhagen, he had it served at his own
table and saw to its introduction else
where whenever the opportunity offered.
Eventually people began to appreciate
it's value as food and are now consum-
ing large quantities of it. In 1900 in
recognition Of his accomplishments
along this line, the United States gov
the Paris exposition appointed Colonel
Carr to 20 to Paris and establish an
"Indian> corn Kitchen
81 accepted the appointment said
Colonel Carr, "and to carry it out, en-
ployed the finest chefs and equipped a
large kitchen and dining hall in the
best manner. Indian corn was served
in various ways, every dish being tempt
ing and everything being served free.
It wasn't long before the place was
crowded. Scandinavians, French, Span
iards, Russians, Turks, in fact repre-
sentatives Of the nations of the world,
all partook of Indian corn foods.
"Since then, Indian corn has come
into use as food in all these countries
and it's European consumption is con;
stantly on the increase. I have recently
heard that the sultan of Turkey has
Indian corn hominy, as prepared by us
in Paris, for his breakfast every morn
ing.
"Is the introduction of Indian corn
as food in Europe of importance9 Well
this country raises 1900, 100000 bush
els every year. If the demand for il
in Europe can be increased sufficiently
to increase the price l cent bushel, II
! will increase the income of the Indian
corn raisers $20,0o0,oo0. This is worth
while.'

SAVED BY TIMELY
PUBLIC SPIRIT
HOW w. Z. HARRIS CAME TO THE
RESCUE.
Gave Personal Note to Secure the Pipe
Organ and Make Great Auditorium
Festival Possible-A Guaranty Fund
Raised for the Philharmonics-Se Seat
Sale Goes On.

Some unwritten history Of the new
Auditorium project, now nearing frul-
ton, shows that public spirit is not
wanting among Minneapolis business
men, when the pinch comes in public
enterprise. If one of the music lovers of
the city, who is classed also among the
foremost substantial citizens, had not
which is to install'the great pipe organ,
the musical festival, which is to begin
March l., might have been postponed
until late summer, or abandoned alto
gether.
When it was discovered that the
organ could not be put into the Audi
forum until the building was more
thoroly dried out, the agreement. to
make the opening Of the Auditorium
and Of the organ simultaneous had
to be modified. w. L. Harris immedi-
ing March l, for $4,000, being the re-
mainder due on the organ, less con-
cession of some $1,000 made by the
Kimball company, thereby securing the
surrender from the organ company of
it's rights for the opening nights: This
made possible the great musical festl-
val for the first four nights in March
place in April.
l. Mr.. Harris then turned over the bust
ness management Of the. concerts to the
Philharmonic club, with the understand.
ing that its expenses should be paid
first and then Mr.. Harris should be re-
imbursed the amount Of his note.
The Apollo club at once heartily con-
Cured in an arrangement Tor the open
ing concert to be given jointly by the
two clubs, together with the Minneap-
oils Symphony orchestra: ..
Another interesting bit Of history, is
first published today in the shape OF a
paper circulated some time ago, to
which several more public-spirited citi'
zens subscribed. It reads:
Whereas The Philharmonic club, in or
der to hasten the completion and opening
| Of the Auditorium and to make 1t possible
to occupy it this season. has incurred
special obligations amounting to severa
thousand dollars:
We, the undersigned, for the purpos'
of forming a festival fund to assist salt
club in fulfilling it's said obligations, here
by each subscribe and agree to pay t
said Philharmonic club, or order, the ne sun
of $50 each, on or before March l, 1905.

WILL MAKE A FIGHT
Box-Car Merchant Says State Cannot
Control His Transactions.

F. B. Kemper, box-car merchant
arrested by inspectors Of the dairy and
food department at Granite Falls and
at Montevideo for selling misbranded
baking powders, has announced his in
tention of appealing to the district
court: He claims that the state has
no right to interfere with the sale Of
goods brought into the state in "origi-
nal packages and relies on the deci-
sion in the famous prohibition case in
Iowa to prove his contention.
If the state is deprived of the right
to prohibit the sale of illegal goods
brought in this way, it will result in
a thriving business for the. box-car
men at the expense of local merchants.
