ter between the city and the Edwards
Co. is d slender one, and that the set
tlement will have to be reached
through the courts. 1t is also very
doubtful if the case can be prepared
in time for presentation at the Decem
Der term OF the supreme court, and it
was the feeling on the part of the
counsel for the city. at the meeting,
that unless arrangements could be
made for the case to be argued before
Justice Spear in vacation. il would
have to be carried over to the June
term.

In spite of the bad weather of
Wednesday. the Thanksgiving dinners
were sent out as usual from the Grand
Army hall by the Howard Benevolent
Union, consisting of chicken, spareribs,
vegetabl coffee. sugar, bread, dough-
nuts and pies. These were sent to 14o
families, representing about 600 per-
sons. This ime-honored custom, in
which there is really nothing new, was
varied, this year, by the fact. as has
already been duly stated in the Jour-
nal. that instead of being donated by
the many. the dinners have been the
entire gift of Mr. and Mrs. Charles
King of New York City, who have the
hearty thanks of those who dispensed
as well as the recipients of the bounty.

seems to be no reasonable excuse for
preserving any food product over more
than one season.
OF durum wheat, the report says:
The production has steadily increased
until in the season of 1905, it is con-
servatively estimated by grain dealers
to be between 100000 and 100000
bushels for the three states of North
Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota
Add to this about 100000 bushels for
Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and the
Rocky Mountain and Pacific Coast
states, and the result is production of
probably 2O,O00,OO0 bushels for the en-
tire country.
1T is reported that during October
about 100000 bushels of durum wheat
were shipped to Europe and that the
prices recently offered by importers were
an advance of II cents over the price
paid for the first shipments. The ques
ton of marketing the wheat, therefore,
can no longer be doubtful one, as our
reputation for furnishing good quality
of grain is well established AS stated
recently by an official of the board of
trade of Duluth durum wheat has pas
sed the experimental stage and is now a
regular commodity"

OPENED HIS GIRLS LETTER.
Bert FosIane Wanted to Read Lines
Written By Rival

Winona, Nov. 24.-'The means you
took of finding out what your rival had
to say to your sweetheart was surely
very dishonorable"
IF you could not get the girl by hon
orable means it would be far better for
you to go without her."
These two brief sentences are tax
en-. from severe lecture which was met
ed out to Bert Foglang of Houston coun-
ty when he appeared before Judge Page
Morris in the federal court yesterday
afternoon and entered plea of guilty
to an indictment charging him with hav-
ing opened and read letter which he
took from a rural mail box at the home
of his sweetheart in Houston county.
The letter he admitted was written to
his sweetheart by his rival, and he
opened the letter for the purpose of see
his girl.
When the indictment which the grand
jury returned was read Foglang and his
attorney, Edward Lees, stepped forward
and the young man entered a plea ofguilty
and Attorney Lees then made a few re-
marks to the court concerning the char
acter and standing of the young man in
the community where he resided.
Judge Morris took kindly to the re-
marks of Attorney Lees and after adj
dressing the young man at considerable
length as to the seriousness of the
crime which he had committed, the
young fellow was sentenced to pay a
fine of $50 and this was done, his father
who was in court producing the money
which Attorney Lees paid into the court
and secured the discharge of the boy.

Insane Mother Makes Savage Attack
on Her OFFSPRING

After examination III probate court
Tuesday afternoon of this week, Mrs.
Fred Quade of Amboy was taken to the
hospital at st. Peter, says The Window
Citizen. The unfortunate woman has
suffered from mental trouble ever since
she was i'll last June. Two or three
times she felt like taking her life, and
once did make slight cash across her
neck. One day this week she had reason
to punish a twelveyearo son. Some
little time afterwards she took him into
a room and when the others entered on
hearing an cutlery found her holding the
boy on the floor, and a butcher knife in
her hand She had cut through the
skin, making scar about two inches
in length. She went to LETTERS and made
it known that she wanted to be cared
for and the justice of the peace sent
her to Window for examination in the
probate court. When asked how long
she had been troubled she replied that
it had begun when they bought new
stove, which wouldn't work as it ought
to and gave them much bother.

Writes an Interesting Letter Frc m
Way Up in Canada.
Hanley, Canada, Nov. 20, l905.-To the
Free Press: Enclosed is check for one
dollar to pay subscription for another
year to your valued paper. 1t is like
meeting a friend each week when we
receive it.
| presume you imagine we are in
snow-covered and frozen country, but
nothing of the kind is the case. We have
enjoyed one of the finest falls 1 have
ever experienced. No snow and the wea-
ther is like October. Farm operations
are going right along, blowing, disking,
dragging and new buildings starting up
most every day. No thought of winter
for weeks yet. Crops were good and ev
erybody prosperous, wheat yielded thir-
ty to forty-ive bushels per acre. Other
grains in proportion.
To show what may be done here l
will give what my neighbor has done
this year on a quarter section: He rails
ed 5000 bushels wheat, 1900 bushels
oats, 500 bushels barley and summer
fallowed twenty acres and had twenty
acres in pasture, so he raised the crop
on 100 acres. Besides this he raised
500 bushels oats and put up fifty tons
of hay on rented land. He did all the
work with four horses except the
threshing which he had done from the
shock. The machine took the grain from
the shock and delivered it in the wag
on and boarded the crew and charged
so cents bushel for oats and cents
bushels for wheat.
During the season he paid out 500
for man help and made $l20 by break
ing and disking for others and has his
ground ready for a crop another year.
Another illustration. Three years ago
last spring young man came here
with capital of $3.50 took claim
bought a yoke of oxen put in little
crop, built sod house and sod stable,
his crop he couldn't get threshed as
there was no machine in the country at
that time
That fall he went back to Nebraska
and got married and has prospered ever
since till now he has four good horses,
two colts, five head of cattle, several
hogs, lot of chickens, and all neces
sary machinery and this year put up
barn 2Sx44 feet, sixteen posts, geared
windmill, feed mill and has year old
boy. He still lives in the sod house
but is prosperous and happy.
Fearing this is getting long, | will
close. Yours truly, U. G. Ward.

ATTACKS LAW HE FRAMED.
Harrison Richardson Now Declares
Statute Is Unconstitutional.

from fridays DAILY.
The suit of the state against the Bac-
kus- Brooks Lumber company, filed some
time ago in the Ramsey county courts,
has brought about an unusual state of
affairs.
Harris Richardson, the attorney who
drew the timber law of 1895, under
which the state has endeavored to pro-
tect its timber, is now placed in the po-
sition of attacking the law upon the
ground of its unconstitutionality.
Mr.. Richardson was employed by the
pine land investigating committee of the
1895 session to draft the law. Since the
filing of the Backus- Brooks suit, he, as
attorney for the lumber company, with
C. J. lockwood of Minneapolis, has in
terposed demurrer to the complaint,
in which the constitutionality of the law
is questioned.
The demurrer is similar to that in the
Shevlin- Carpenter case, argued in Du
luth Saturday.
1t is claimed that the law of 1905 is
defective in title, and therefore void.
