Corner in Flour.

New Richmond, Wis, April 10. The
Northern Grain company, through the
president, ex-senator 0. w. Mosher,
of this city, has the -four market vertu-
ally cornered in New Richmond, and is
also trying to corner the markets at
Hudson, Ashland and several smaller
points. Mr.. Mosher called a meeting
of merchants here and told them, it is
said, that they must handle his flour
only, or he would retail it at so low a
price that they could handle no other
flour without loss. All but the whole
salers Of Pillsbury's and Washburn and
Crcsby's -four, it is understood, entered
the compact. and are now retailing
-four, but as yet have not met Mosher's
price. Under the new plan M0sher
sells his flour to merchants at $500 a
barrel and compels them to retail it at
$3.50 a barrel, or at the rate Of cents
margin on each 49-pound sack. Mer-
chants say that they will lose money on
every sack handled, as it requires at
least 10 per cent to do business, but
they could not compete with Mosher
unless the Minneapolis mills cut the
rate, which they think is hardly prob
able. It is stated that Mosher has the
Ashland -four market practically corner
ed. In Hudson he is retailing flour at
81. 40 a forty-nine pound sack.

Dipping Tank News

G. D. Higgins, the contractor, is at
present constructing a dipping tank
for the county at the farm of L. Z.
Turner on Snake creek. 1t is one
mile from the west county line, about
two miles from Nina. the first station
west OF Aberdeen. The Westport
tank is the last one completed, the
Turner tank making the fourth one
in the county. The tank neal Hcugh-
ton to be on Lars Herseth's place can
moi be constructed yet owing to the
water being too near the surface to
permit the making of the excavation
The county has ordered fifteen bar
rels of dip from Omaha. and when il
arrives the work can be commenced.
There is a Misrepresentation in the
minds of many people as to what the
law is in regard to dipping cattle. es-
peciallY as to the obligation to dip.
The provision in this regard is, that.
whenever the county inspector or his
deputy has knowledge of cattle being
affected with, or having been exposed
to scabies or any infectious skin dis.
ease, he shall Immediately quarantine
them and cause them to be treated
for the disease. This treatment, OF
course, would be nothing more or less
than to take them to the dipping
tank and have them dipped. Under
no Other circumstances can the owner
OF cattle be compelled to dip them.

Costly Farm Blaze

also destroyed. A valuable stallion,
Alise, vas in another stable and was
not injured. The loss on the building

BAD STORM
High Wind Does Damage in City
and Vicinity

This section of Brown County, at
least, has received an abundance OF
rain since Sunday at noon. Sunday
afternoon the precipitation in a little
over an hour amounted to about two
inches and with the rainfall that
night amounted to 2.2l inches. There
was no wind, though the lightning
played in a lively measure.
The storm Monday night was ac-
companied by a strong wind and a
continuous display of lightning. The
precipitation amounted to 81 of an
inch.
The wind blew over a number of
small sheds, partially unroofed the
building Of the Aberdeen Clothing
Co., blew over the brick finishing
wall on top of the Olwin-Angell build
ing, the smoke stack at the gas works
and quite a few trees. 1t seems as if
there must have been a strong upper
current of air that just touched the
top of the Aberdeen Clothing Com
pany's building, the Olwin-Angel
building and the smoke stack at the
gas works. Had the wind blown with
the same velocity nearer the surface
greater damage would have been done.
Lightning struck St. Mary's church
on the North side Sunday and Monday
evening struck a barn in the real of
John Macarthur & Sons piano store,
setting it on fire. The blaze was ex.
tinguished before any damage was
done. The fire department was also
called out at midnight Monday by a
small blaze at the gas works, but it
was also extinguished without much
damage having been done.

Farmers Room Locked
DEAR EDIToR:-

LEAN HD11OE."
Some weeks ago your Oneota cor
respondent had some criticisms to
make concerning the furniture in the
farmers room in the new courthouse.
There was something about that cor
respondents way of putting things
that made it plain that a woman
handled the pen. I have not seen the
furniture but have been told it is very
nice, but l want to say to the Oneota
correspondent that | have another
and more serious criticism to make
concerning that room. On two occa-
sions when l have been to the county
seat l have tried to inspect the furni-
ture and the paintings on the walls,
which | am told are fine, illustrating
the early settlement of the county.
l went around to the side door under
the big stone steps, where the en-
trance to the basement is. I was told
that the door leading into the room
had Farmers Room on it,. / found
the door as described. but each time
it was locked. This kind OF discour-
aged me from trying again.
Some Of u neighbors on Decora-
ton Day, who went into town To see

to go TO the. room to rest while they
were waiting for the parade, but

Freeman Bros, dealers IN feed,
grain and fencing, have bought the
Bagley elevator and will soon be buy
ing grain. They will handle coarser
grains almost entirely and will also do
grinding at the elevator.
In order to better accommodate their
growing business they have decided to
secure a location on Main street and
will soon nov into the building now
occupied by Hoilien's saloon.
The increase in the quantity of
coarse grains handled in Aberdeen is
shown by the purchase of an elevator

He Breathed His Last at 8:27
Tuesday Morning at
St. Luke's
Buried on Thursday Afternoon
in the Family Lot in Groton
Cemetery

Howard w. Cole, sheriff of Brown
County, was taken sick with the
mumps. Later pleurisy developed
and his condition became critical.
AS a result of the latter phase of his
illness an abscess formed on one lung,
and an operation for the purpose OF
removing the same was undertaken.
He was taken to St. Luke's hospital
two weeks ago. 1t was feared that
he had become too weak to recover
from the operation but it was the
last hope. His condition for over
two weeks has not been such as to
cause more than very slight hope of
his recovery. During the last three
days of his life he was delirious much
of the time. Monday night at about
8 o'clock, twelve hours before his
death. he sank into a comatOSe condi-
tion, showing scarcely any sign of
recognition of those who came to his
bedside. His death was painless, life
subsiding sc gradually that the end,
which came at about $50 a. M, was
almost imperceptible.
Howard Webster Cole was born in
Eureka township. Montcalm county,
Michigan, March Goth, 1857, being 48
years old but a few days before the
long painful illness resulting in death
began. He Vas married in December
1880 to Theresa NJ. Howell He came
to Brown county in the summer of 81,
filing on a presumption north OF Groton.
He returned to Michigan that winter
and brought Mrs. Cole in the spring,
together with their first born, a son,
who died many years ago. After
proving up on his first claim he locat-
ed his homestead near where Hutton
is now situated. He then took charge
Of what was known as the "tuller
Farm" Later, when the farm be
came the property of the firm of
Weber, Sessions & Adams, he ecur-
ed an interest and continued in charge
of the farm for years. He was always
active in township matters, being a
member of the school board for many
years. He vas n of the good farm
ers of the county and retained a
quarter-section farm in Claremont
township.
In the fall of 'O2 Mr.. Cole was the
nominee of his party for sheriff and
elected, Of course. He was reelected
last fall. entering on his second term
on January first last. having served
but five months of the present term,
when death terminated it.
The relatives of the deceased, in ad-
dition to Mrs. Cole and their four
children, are Elmer L. Cole of Clare
mont township and Mrs. J. B. Weaver
OF Claremont village, and his mother,
who resides with Mrs. Weaver. His
father, his first born son, and a broth
er, who died here in the early eight
les, are buried at Groton.
The funeral took place on Thurs
day. Friends met at the residence at
II o'clock, where a prayer was made
by Rev. j. Y. Montague, after which
the remains were taken to the Baptist
church in charge Of the Blue Lodge
members. A special train left with
the funeral cortege for Groton at two
O'Clock. In the family lot in the Gro
ton cemetery he was laid to rest.

on the day of his death again adjourn

PERU AND CHILE MAY FIGHT.
Territory of Tacna and africa is Bone
of Contention.


Washington, April "a. - News has
been received at the State department
indicating that the long pending
trouble between Chile and Peru over
the ownership of the two provinces of
Tacna and africa, on the border line, is
rapidly reaching an acute stage. 1t is
onsidered entirely probable that, un-
less one side or the other yields some
of its extreme demands, the next few
months may witness the outbreak of
hostilities between these two republics
The prospect of trouble will probably
hasten the action of the president in
filling the post of United States minis
ter to Chile, which has been vacant
since last October, when Minister Hen
ry Wilson was transferred to Greece.
At present the interests of the United
States at Santiago are being looked
after by Charge d d'Affaires Ames.
Recent dispatches from Peru declare
that Peru is buying warships and arms
and ammunition in preparation for the
coming struggle. At the same time
Chile and Peru are endeavoring to form
alliances. If they are successful in this
and trouble actually develops into war,
as now seems likely, both Brazil and
Argentine may be drawn into it.

catches it and turns it into the canal

is balm, for use in making white

WHEAT DIRECT TO EUROPE.
Fleet of Whalebacks Will Take Big
Cargoes from Chicago.

Chicago, April 25. The Tribune
says: 1t is reported that the ''ore
feet" of ten whaleback steamers has
been sold to Eastern capitalists, be-
lieved to be John W. Gates and his
associates in the May wheat deal, the
plan being to ship wheat direct from
Chicago to Europe.
The feet, which has been operated
by the Pittsburg Steamship company,
one of the subsidiary corporations OF
the United States Steel corporation, is
now in drydock at Detroit, being re-
modelled for ocean voyages. Some of
these vessels have already crossed the
ocean with cargoes of steel rails.
Mr.. Gates declined to be inter-
viewed.
T. J. Hyde, secretary OF the Miners
Steel company, said he had not heard
of the feet but did not deem it lm
probable.
