Feeding Hogs.

A hog fed at fair profit until 1t
reaches 200 pounds will give less profit
with each additional pound. and Il
point can be reached at which further
feeding can be done only at loss. \
reliable authority says that certain
amount of food being required TO
make gain on hog If 50 pounds,
1t will require per cent more food
with hog OF 20 pour is to make the
same gain, ii per cent more with
one of l25 pounds, % per cent more
on hogs Of 225 pounds, and 10 per
cent more on those weighing go
pounds. The tests upon which these
figures are based were not official, but
it IS a well-known fact that with in
crease of age more feed is required to
effect a gain than at earlier age. But
the light weights, those under 200
pounds, cannot be so well handled at
packeries, and hence those who are
feeding for market should bring them
to that weight smooth and well finish
ed. At less weight or in bad condI-

iration against them IS strong, so thar

Treating Winter Wheat for Seed

In each Of six years, experiments
have been conducted at the Ontario
Experiment farms in treating winter
wheat in different ways to kill the
sinking smut. and the results have
been very satisfactory. untreated

and % per cent OF smut In the crop
OF this season. Seed wheat which
was immersed for twenty minutes In
a solution made by adding one pint

END OF THE BIG SHOW
MIDSUMMER FESTIVAL WINDS Up
In RAIN STORM.
Business of the Last Night is Spoiled
Tents Packed and Feat
ures Away.

The Midsummer carnival came to an
end last night, as it started in, with
the patter of raindrops beating a rev
ellie on the tents and stands All the
evening the rain poured down in tor
rents and the different shows might
as well have been packed up and on
the cars.
Considering the weather, the carnival
was quite a success in its way; in fact
more so than was generally expected
Agent Johnson of the Omaha and
NORTHEASTERN roads estimates that
those roads brought 1000 people to the
city during the three days of the carni-
val, and it is reasonable to suppose
that the other roads brought as many
more A good many farmers also drove
in from the nearby country.
Today there was Il general packing
up by the show people, and the streets
got into their ordinary shape again
and people settled down to the ordi-
nary pursuits of life.

STATE TAX MUST BE PAID.
Attorney GeneraIYoung Gives Opinion
Anent Insurance.

Edward T. Young. attorney general,
gave an opinion today that the North
western National Life Insurance COM
pany of Minneapolis must pay it's 2
per cent tax on it's prsnaiums, amount
ing to something over $4,000.
The attorneys for the company had
cited clause in the state law govern
ing stipulated premium companies,
Northwestern National being the only
one Incorporated under it, asserting
that companies under this law shall net
be subject to the provisions of other
state life insurance laws, and contend
ed that their company need not pay the
2 per cent tax, which is provision of
II different statute. Mr.. Young holds
that the particular clause in question
applies only to such general subjects as
are included in the stipulated premium
law, and that, as nothing is said in
the stipulated premium law about tax
alton. the Northwestern National must
pay its tax.

WAS TILTED BY LOVER
FARiBAUlT GIRL ATTEMPTS SUI
eide: JUMPED FROM TRAIN.
Uniniured She Is Found Later FLAG.
ging An Engine With Her
White PettIc0at.

In an attempt to end her own life,
Miss Clara Meyers, young lady, TWEEN
ty years old, jumped from the window of
the ladies' toilet room of passenger car
on the east bound Chicago. Milwaukee &
st. Paul flyer Sunday night, between the
stations of Beulah and Monona, near
81 cs ssfasoa's low ~.
The young woman is daughter of
William Meyers, prominent farmer of
Faribault. and for some time past has
been keeping company with a Young
man of that place who paid her such
marked attention that she became deep
" in love with him, but it is said he
Tilted her for another, and this fact so
worked upon the girls mind that on sew
eral occasions she made threats against
her life. Fearing that she would carry
out those threats and hoping that visit
among relatives in Chicago would di-
vert her mind from her sad love affair,
a cousin of the girl. Herman Wilken-
ing persuaded her to accompany him
there for the purpose of spending a few
weeks with his sister 1t was with this
end in view that they were passengers
on the flyer.
Early in the evening Miss Meyers
had said to Mr.. Whitening: Il shall end
it all tonight" and owing to these words
he had watched her closely through the
entire night. They talked upon various
subjects along the journey and the girl
seemed rational enough, never rising
from her seat from the time she enter
ed the car until after the station of
Monona was passed. when she quietly
walked to the door of the toilet ROOM
opened it and entered, closing it after
her.
\ few moments passed and she did
not return. Another short space of time
and Mr.. Whitening went to investigate.
Mortified, he found nothing to tell the
tale of the girls flight but the open win
dow. The frantic young man imme
diately reported to the train men who
let him off the train in time to catch
the hill engine which would return over
the same ground, that they had come
over about half nour before.
About mile from the spot where the
girl entered the toilet room of the car,
the engineer and Mr.. Whitening found
Miss Meyers standing in the middle of
the track tagging the engine with her
white petticoat which she had removed
from her body She was Immediately
taken aboard the engine and brought to
North McGregor. where a physician was
called, who found that she had not
scratch or hurt in any way, with the ex-
ception of a small bruise on the left
shoulder.
She is now resting quietly at Hotel
Berry, in McGregor. She is morose to
all questioners and sympathisers and
still expresses a determination to end
her life.
How she escaped instant death in aer
mad jump from the open window of a
passenger train with speed of fifty
miles an hour, is a mystery.

BROKE UP IN A ROW.
Ball Game at SibIey Park Yesterday
Disgust Spectators.

Yesterday afternoons ball game be-
tween the teams of Mankato and Hen
derson at Sibley park broke up in row
in the eighth inning, when the score
stood at nine to nothing in favor of
Mankato. Henderson kept accusing
Mankato of playing dirty ball and COM
planned of the umpire's decisions. 1t is
true that in the seventh inning, Al
Krost, AIankato's catcher, ran into A.
C. Bosel, Henderson's captain and second
baseman and disabled the latter for the
rest of the game. The Henderson play
ers raised the cry That the collision was
a purposeful move on the part of the
Mankato man. The Mankato boys
maintained that it was an accident, but
to satisfy the visiting team, Krost's
place at pitch was taken by Henry Rabe,
whose position at right field was then
taken by J. Giblin. The score kept GO
ing up against Henderson, until de-
cision of the umpire ins.t The eight .ine
rine was made the OCCASION for Hender-
sons withdrawal.

COIN STUCK TO FINGERS
]. C. WILSON is IN TROUBLE WITH
A WASECA CONCERN.
Collected Cash Belonging to His En-.
pl,yers and Blew 1t In: Will
Be Prosecuted.

J. C. Wilson, travelling salesman for
the W. j. Armstrong company of Wa
SEGA, has been missing since last We'd
nesday At first his employers, rela
tives and friends were nj loss to ac-
count for his continued absence, but
The Journal Radical is reliably informed
that an investigation by w. J. Arm
strong has revealed the anentai,le fact
that Mr.. Wilson is guilty of a serious
crime, that of appropriating for his
own use money belonging to the w. j.
Armstrong company.
Up to a week ago Mr.. Wilson was
looked upon as an upright, trustworthy
young man. He was a successful sales
man. was receiving a good salary and
had the utmost confidence of his en-
ployers. Less than year ago he
brought to this city with him charm
ing young wife and their home life has
been most happy.
The checking up process has not at
this writing been completed by the Arm
strong company but it is thought that
the amount of money Incorporated
will not be found to be so very large
Mr.. Wilson was entrusted with checks,
rendered in payment for bills of goods
he sold. which checks he was supposed
to send in with his orders. In num-
Der of instances-ju Just how many is yet
to be determined-n failed to send III
the checks. but instead converted them
into money, either by having them made
out to him personally or by forging the
company's signature to them, after
which he cashed them at local banks.
Just why young man whose rela-
tions with employers. friends and home
had been so pleasant should be tempt
ed to commit so serious a crime is nard
to understand. but there prevails gen
eral opinion that it will eventually de-
velop that his downfall is due to specu-
laton in wheat. through bucket shops.
Steps have already been taken to APP
prehend the young man and return him
to Waseca to answer the grave charges
against him.

The manager of one of the sensation

said, got into his own pocket all the pro-

fiding his plans to one of the fairest

out of town on an early train, leaving
not only an unpaid board bill, but a
stranded and incensed group of en-
ployes, eager for their money or the

THERE'LL BE A SHORTAGE.
Committee May Be Something Like
$500 Shy; Prescott's Claim.

1t is feared that the Midsummer Fes-
tival will leave the committee a deficit
of several hundreds of dollars. About
$3.50 is owed to c. J. Prescott for the
street attractions and other sums are
owing here and there. The assets can
not meet the liabilities unless the latter
can in some way be scaled down.
1t is suggested that after the exact
amount of the deficit Is ascertained, Il
subscription paper be circulated among
those parties who benefited most largely
by the vast number of people that were
in town. The saloon men, it is said
reaped the largest harvest and ought to
be ready to help out.
