A SQUIRREL GAVE
LONG SOUGHT CLUE
oRIEMAN's DISCOVERY WILL IN
TEREsT NATIONS EPICURES.
He Robbed Squirrel Of It's Breakfast
Which Proved to Be a Truffle, Va.
riety of Mushroom Worth $12 Pound
and Not Hitherto Found in America.

Because squirrel was late with his
a discovery which will cause mushroom
lovers all over the United States to sit
up and take notice. 1t has been sup
posed since the American taste became
educated up TO mushrooms that the truf-
fie, which caps the climax Of the edible
fungi, did not grow in this country. My
cologists have contented themselves
balls and dreamed of truffles, but have
never seen the real thing in its native
habitat, inasmuch as the American truf-
file has always come out Of a tin can.
Mr.. Orleman, who resides at 1901
First avenue S, is a professional mush-
room picker. The necessity for life in
the open air caused him to take up this
keen competition, used to make as high
| as SIG to $1S a day. Years ago, he
became attracted by the story Of fab
ulous prices paid for truffles in the old
country, and made a special study of
that particular growth. He has ranged
the fields and woods about Minneapolis
carefully, picking up many baskets of
across the long-sought prize until this
morning, when he noticed squirrel
running up an oak tree, carrying in it's
mouth what at first he thought was q
large ~acron. Noticing that the acorn
seemed unusually large, however, he
promptly threw stones at the squirrel,
which dropped his burden and ran chat
tering up among the branches. Orle-
man picked up the squirrels breakfast
and found it to resemble a medium
sized puffball, tho much darker in color
Suspecting the nature of the ind, he
| sliced it, and was delighted to find
inside the firm black granules divided
| by the grayish veins which indicate the
true truffie. 81 "-
| Knowing full well the value Of his
| discovery, Orleman fastened to search
among the rotting leaves under the oak
tree and was rewarded by finding
he fastened down town. At Schraps'
restaurant the proprietor g eyes opened
wide as he saw for the first time native
American truf1es. The chef was sum-
moned and said that they were the
first he had seen grown outside of
France. Both were extremely anxious
to ascertain where the discovery had
been made, but Orleman was inclined
to be thrifty and will keep his secret,
as there is money in it for him. ~
The eleven truffles he found today
were worth so cents apiece.
] In France, where the truff1e is firmly
established as delicacy, the fungi
bring from So to $l2 pound, accord
ing to quality. They grow only be-
meath oak trees and are generally con-
cealed by the loose leaf mold on the
surface, SO that they are hunted with
| trained pigs or dogs. -

SAID THAT A CATCHER
SHOULDN'T BE PITCHER

An argument over the eligibility Of
Dogcatcher Harry Haynes, pitcher of
the plain-clothes team, threatened to
rob the policemen 8 picnic Of the base
ball game scheduled for this morning.
Over thousand people were assem-,
bled at Tonka Bay for the thirteenth
annual outing of the city, police force,
and until game was called, the har.
mony Of the occasion was rivaled only
by the tranquility Of the weather. But
when the bluecoats discovered that
Haynes was in the box for the fly
cops' they registered a loud and EN-,
phatic protest, claiming that his. posi-.
tion as dogcatcher did not make him a
member Of the plain-clothes force. The
argument became heated and the reg
ulars threatened to leave the field
The protest was finally withdrawn and
the game which followed was won by
the sleuths by score of IL to 8.
The afternoon was given over tc
field sports and the evening will be
spent dancing in the pavilion.
The picnic arrangements were made
by a committee consisting Of L. D
Williams, T. w. Mullen, s. w. John
son, G. E. Foster and G.. W. Bahan.

ia. FOR STOCK FOOD
RAILROADS MAKE IT THIRD IN

Change Will Give an Impetus to the
Business Because It Will Enable Man.
ufacturers to Enlarge Their Territory
How It Was Brought About.

An impetus has been given to the
stockfood manufacturing business, in
which both Minneapolis and St. Paul
are interested, in common with other
cities of the west, by the decision Of the
western classification committee Of the
railroads in reducing stockfood, in less
than carload lots from third to fourth
class. In effect this will greatly en-
large the territory in which a factory
can proftably do business, and afford
extensive competition.
The reduction in the classification was
brought about in peculiar manner. The
western classification committee last
January, without warmth, rasied stock
food from third to second-class, effect
i've April 1. This aroused the manufac-
turers. A meeting was held at Chicago
at which representatives of four Chi.
cago factories, three factories in Omaha,
one each in Minneapolis, st. Paul, Kan.
sas City and Des Moines, were pres
ent. In the end it was shown that in
stead of being raised, as proposed, the
rate should be reduced. The reduction
will be effective Oct. l. The third-class

STATE OFFICERS FAVOR CHANGE
IN SYSTEM OF LEASES.
Party Returned Today from Inspection

siderable Work on Them This Sea-
SON Detailed Inquiry and Report to
the Legislature Will Follow.

Governor johnson, State Auditor
Iverson, Attorney General Young and
Secretary Of State Hanson returned to-
day from their trip to the iron range.
The first three are charged by the
Morse resolution, passed by both houses
of the Legislature last winter, with
making an investigation of the size
and character Of the state mineral
holdings, and recommending needed
legislation on the subject to the next
legislature.
The trip just taken was preliminary,
for the purpose Of getting a general
idea Of the iron range, it's wealth and
methods Of business. It will be fol-
lowed later by a detailed investigation.
Attorney General Young is trying in
the Mabel Evans suit to set aside the
present mineral-lease law. Governor
johnson is inclined now to agree with
him that q different system should be
adopted OF getting revenue from the
My whole observation leads me to
the general belief that there ought to
be a change in the law. The legisla-
ture ought to tablish minimum rate
for royalties instead of the present flat
rate OF 20 cents ton, and should per-
nit the governor and auditor and at
IOTuoy general, or OCnor competent au-
thority to dispose Of mineral leases at
what they will bring on the market.
The minimum amount that may be
taken out should also be increased from
the present rate of 5000 tons, altho
representatives Of the steel companies
assure us that it is the policy Of the
trust to mine their lease properties
first, allowing their own larger depos-

we found the general condition of
the state properties very satisfactory
and considerable ore being taken out
this season, over $4,000 being already
received in royalties.'
State Auditor Iverson, who has made
frequent visits to the range, said:
SWe were accompanied on our trip
by representatives of the companies
and also by F. A.. Wildes, the state IS
Inspector, who assured us that the state
properties are being well mined this
year. There is also considerable devel-
opment work going on, and several new

THINKS B0ARDERS WERE
BAND OF KlDNAPPERS

Pat Grove had nothing to do with
kidnapping the young son of ,Cudahy,
the millionaire packer Of Omaha, if the
story told by Mrs. Jacob VALID at po-
lice headquarters this morning is true.
Four men were implicated in that 81
gantic deal, according to direct informa-
tion from. the Cudahy family, and the
men are fearlessly spending the money
they obtained. They are in Minneapo-
lis and until last night were boarding
with Mrs. VALID at 321 Sixth avenue s.
Mrs. VALID says that she lived in Oma-
ha'several years ago and was acquainted
with the Cudahy family. She learned
from them the complete details Of the
kidnapping and chance statements made
by the men that were boarding with
her led her to believe that they were
the men: They have been overheard
talking in their rooms and 50 positive
is she that they are the right men that
the police have wired to Omaha to
learn If a reward is still offered for the
capture of the men. 81 t..
