FUTURE OF THE CHESTNUT.
Probability It Soon viii Become
STAPLE Food.

The potato long ago conquered the
larders of many parts of the world
The chestnut is, on the contrary, an
almost undiscovered food, at least in
England and the United States. yet
scientists tell us that the chestnut is
more nutritious food than the pota'
to.
They are very much alike in their
constituents, these two foods, only the
chestnut has more of the nutritive ele-
ments for its weight than has the po-
tato. The potato is 76 per cent wa
ter and the chestnut only % per cent.
The chestnut has three times as much
proteid, almost twice as much starch,
four times as much sugar and gum,
twenty times as much fat and about
the same percentage OF mineral mat
ter as has the potato.
The potatoes lack of fat makes 1t
necessary to put butter on it to make
1t palatable. The chestnut is butter
ed by nature. Yet, as compared with
most other nuts, the chestnut is supe-
rior because the others contain such
an excess of fat-often so to 60 per
cent-that they are indigestible. The
chestnut has little over per cent
Bake or roast your chestnuts and you
have as good food as anyone could
want.
If the chestnut had an unpleasant
flavor or If it was hard to raise 1t,
there would be no cause for wonder
in the failure to utilize it as food on
large scale. But as a matter of
fact it is said that given area of
land will produce the maximum
amount of food possible when planted
with chestnut trees.
however, the neglect Of the chest
nut may not be all n misfortune. In
tha days to come, when the hen, the
potato vine, the apple tree and the
stock range are all working industri-
ously and exclusively in the service
of the cold storage company, 1t may
be a comfort to have the chestnut
tree to fall back upon, which can cater
to us without cold storage intermedia-
ton.

Reliable information received in

ford, ordered that no food be issued
to the Indians, except the very young,
the aged and infirm, basing his advice
on the theory that they were self-sus-
tanning.
The northern Cheyennes are willing
workers, but as the government has
failed to give them work, and as the
white settlers can only give them
work in haying time, 1t is apparent
how they can be in their present sad
condition. Complaints are coming in
that the starving Indians are raiding
and slaughtering the herds of cattle
In the vicinity of the reservation, and
trouble is feared unless active meas.
ures are taken to remedy their condk
ton.
G. F. Nisler, United States Indian
inspector, has spent several weeks on
the reservation, hearing complaints Of
agency employees, settlers and In
dians, and has left for Washington to
lay before the secretary of the in
terror the facts in the matter.

BLIZZARD STRIKES THE WEST.
Worst Storm of Recent Years From
Rocky Mountains to New York.

One of the severest storms of recent
years has ragged throughout the ter
ritory lying between the Rocky noun
tains and the great lakes since early
Tuesday morning, and has caused
much trouble to streetcar companies,
railroads and telegraph companies.
The latter were the greatest sufferers
from the blizzard which swept through
the west and northwest, and which
was preceded by a heavy fog and driz-
zling rain which made the wires al
most unavoidable.
The intense cold and terrific gale
that followed close upon the fog coat
ed the wires with ice and later threw
poles to the ground, gripping the
companies badly. Railroad trains
were delayed al through the west,
some of them being twenty.four hours
late. Streetcar traffic in all the cities
of the west and northwest virtually
was at standstill at some time dur
Ing Tuesday.

Joke on Archbishop ireland.

Archbishop Ireland doesn't mind
telling a joke on himself. The arch
bishop always dresses so unostenta-
tiously that no one could guess his
episcopal rank from his street garb.
Travelling one day in rural district,
he met goodnatured woman in the
car who, after some general converse
ton, asked him: You're a priest,
father, aren't you?" In a bantering
mood, the archbishop thought he'd try
a bubble to put her at her ease, so he
answered: mo, my good woman, I'm
no longer a priest" The woman gave
him a plying glance. Then she said,
soothingly: "Oh, the Lord help us,
father! II wasn't the drink, hope?"

EXPEDITE FREIGHT HANDLING.
Chicago Shippers and Terminal Roads
Cooperate in Movement

CHICAGO, October 4.-Chicago shippers
and Chicago Terminal railroads have found
common field for labor in the movement
to facilitate the handling of freight at the
freight houses. Representatives of the
shippers and of the railroads met yesterday
and a mutual pledge was given that both
parties would cooperate to bring about bet
ter conditions.
1t is estimated that more than $1,000 a
day is lost to the shippers owing to tie de-
lays in handling freight at the freight
houses and considerable amount is lost to
the railroads. Through the cooperation of
shippers, railroads and teamsters it is
hoped to increase the capacity of the freight
terminals 25 per cent. The railroads have
promised to increase their forces of freight
handlers and to spend considerable money
in improvements to their houses, and the
shippers have agreed to adopt rules govern
ing the loading and unloading of wagons
which will save much time.
Those who participated in me conference
were representatives of the Chicago Ship
pers' Association, the Illinois Manufac-
turers' Associate IN. the Commercial Asso-
citation, the Employers Association, the
Employers Teaming Association and of
nearly every western railroad.

BOSTON, October 4.-Upon information
furnished by the German government
through the German consul in Boston, Com
missioner of immigration George B. Bill
lings has caused the detention on the Red
Star liner Marquette from Antwerp, of
Wilhelm Strauss and Miss Marks, who ac-
comparied him. Strauss is alleged to be
Identical with one Julius Elkins, who is
absconding with 100000 of trust funds
The chief of police of Hamburg wired the
Boston consul to have him detained upon
the arrival of the vessel The cable read
that Elkins might be identical with Strauss,
who, with Miss Marks, had purchased tick
cts for Boston only a few hours before the
Marquette sailed. They are held until the
their identity. The fact that Strauss and
Miss Marks are travelling together is suf-
fcient to justify the immigration officers.
