Prisoned behind the steel bars Of

partial stupor this morning to look into
the muzzle Of glittering revolver held
by his enraged brothetin-law.
Mrs. Nodholm, a bride of six weeks,
stood silently. while her brother at

Assistant County Attorney John

Nodholm was arrested yesterday on
the complaint Of Annie Olson, who al

The latter called with her brother
this morning to see the prisoner, and
the two were admitted to the cell block,
accompanied by Bernhagen and Tailor
Needham. In spite of their presence,
the enraged youth lost all self control
at the sight of the, accused man.
Without warning, he ierked re-

words, "You II die now or never, y

at Nodholm head, scarce three feet
away. The prisoner, trembling with
fear, crouched in on corner Of the cell
awaiting the death shot. The youth s
first movement, however, was noted by
the attorney, who grabbed him by the
throat, and, with the aid of the jailor
bore him to the floor. This seemed to
bring him to his senses, but to prevent
further trouble he was ordered out.
The two wives were not allowed to
see each other for fear Of another out:

alone. His case was continued until
tomorrow.

DRYEST APRIL
ON THE RECORD
AUGUST CONDITIONS FACE FARM

There's Been Little Rain Since Last
Fall-Weather Bureau Is at a Loss to
Account for the Long Drouth-Lit-
tie Snow Fell Thru the Winter
Months. s-.E

Despite black clouds and predictions
Of showers by the weather bureau, the
only rain producers are the sprinkEng
wagon. Less than one-hundredth of
an inch fell today, and it looks as if
the showery month Of April would pass
away with only one rain to it's credit,
that of the second day, when "a of an
inch fell AS it is, the spring of 1905
will pass down in weather history as
the dryest in the history of the state.
While the frost in the ground this
spring afforded some moisture to help
the farmer, the elements have done
nothing. Now the frost is out Of the
ground the fields and pastures are as
dry as desert. At the Minikahda
links the turf is as dry as it ever was
falling raise clouds Of dust like thir-
teen-inch shells exploding. The farmer
has an extra team to his pillow and only
the sandhies are happy.
With the exception of April 2 there
has been no rain practically since Nov.
9, 1904, when there was a fall of rain
and snow. On Nov. 20 there was .03
of an inch. The next trace of moisture
in the air was Feb. 4, but no rain.
The rain reported for March amounted
to AZ of an inch. There has been prac,
tically no rain since April 2. The snow
fall of the winter was one OF the light
est ever recorded by the weather bu-
reau and most of the snow evaporated
without melting.
Records show that from the middle
of March there are usually continual
showers until the end of spring, rec
ords of from so to q inches being com
mon. No explanation is given of the
present dry spell except that it is a
natural phenomenon Of the freak va
riety.

CATARRHAL TROUBLES PREVALENT
Spring Months Cause arrh-Breatlle
Hyomei, and Be Cured.


Catarrhal troubles are more common
at this season than at any other time
of the year. The sudden changes that
come during the spring months are pro
ductive of many cases Of catarrh that
without proper treatment will become
chronic.
The pleasantest, most onvenient, and:
only scientific method for the treatment
and cure of catarrh is Hyonei. Simply
put twenty drops in the little pocket in
haler that comes with every outfit, and
then breathe it for three minutes four
times day.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
one dollar, and as the inhaler will last
a lifetime and there is sufficient Hyomei
for several weeks treatment, it is the
most economical catarrhal remedy.
known. Extra bottles can be procured
for fifty cents. Ask Voegeli Bros,
corner Hennepin and Washington and
corner 7th street and Nicollet avenue,
to show you the strong guarantee under
which they sell Hyomei. KS ssiss

INVADE CANADA
FORMING CLOSE ALLIANCE WITH
NEW ELEVATOR SYSTEMS.
Serious Menace to Export Trade Of
American Mills Is Discussed by New
York Commercial Authority This
Move Considered the Logical Result
Of Tariff Exclusion.

The milling interests Of Minneapolis
have learned with alarm Of the pro-
posed alliance between Canadian ele-
vator systems and new flour mills in
England, which aims to divert wheat
direct to England for grinding there,
large share Of their present export
trade.
This latest development has also at
tracted the attention of the New York
journal OF Commerce, which takes the
view that this menace to American mill
ing interests is a serious one, and is
the direct result of present tariff re-
strictions, which in the end will harm
the farmer as well as the miller. The
New York paper discusses the future
effect of the movement in the follow
ing article:
There's an interesting report from Win
nipeg of a proposed combination for build
ing elevators in the Canadian northwest
wherein to collect the wheat of that re-
gion, in connection with the construction
Of flour mills in England for grinding it
for the British market
If such plan is carried out it will be
on account Of our duty of 25 cents q
bushel on foreign wheat, which will prove
to be a protection, not to American in
dustries, but to that of Great Britain. It
Will lOL ISlp AdfIll0rS ellLef SdudOd
or the United States, but will deprive
our millers of a certain amount of trade
which naturally belongs to them, and pro-
mote closer relations between Canada and
Great Britain as result of the foolish
barrier to such relations between Canada
and the United States. It's effect cannot
be entirely counteracted by the drawback
provisions of our law, even as now lib
orally interpreted. .
The natural outlet for the Canadian
northwest is into or thru this country
and to some extent it goes thru now, in
bond, contributing nothing to our indus
try or our trade. If it could be bought
without the tax at the border it would
simply come in, and could be exported
from here with our own, or be ground
with our own and exported In the form OF
flour to enter into the general supply. The
price could be less easily manipulated by
spectators to the disturbance of the mar
ket, but would be the same for American
and Canadian wheat, that of both being
determined by the same influence abroad.
The principal difference would be that
our mills would do the grinding and our
transportation and export trade would
share the benefit. With the present bar
rier maintained, the result will be either
the development of the milling industry In
Canada probably with American capital
driven from it's own field, or the export
of grain from Canada to Great Britain
to contribute to the milling industry there
