Card of Thanks Fad.

publish a card of thanks to everybod,

ticular after the burial and death of a
member of the family says the Blue

solete fad. 1t seems to us as absolute.
~ unnecessary and not in good taste
Kind friends and neighbors are only
too willing. to do all in their power to
assist in every way possible those in
distress, and the knowledge of duty
we'll done is reward. They know that
those whom they assist would in
deed be ingrates did they not appre:
ciate it. To personally thank an in.
.dividual for assistance in time Of
trouble and deep affliction by the
death of loved one is but a mark of
appreciation that is surely due, but to
publish in a local paper general card
of thanks usually signed by every mem
Der OF the afflicted household seems out
of place and rude. To illustrate to
what extent a card Of thanks may be
carried, weS give below a sample cut
from a Missouri newspaper: |

Value Of The r Prison TWine.
Plant. "a

It is little wonder that the binding
5twine trust is starting a campaign to
put the state prison tWine plant ont Of
business. The state has never been
able, to supply the Minnesota market
for tWine, but it has fixed the prices
which have practically governed with.
in the whole state: These prices have
given the state a very: good margin,
and have resulted year by year in fine
net profits forthe Institution; yet they
have been low enough to save the far
mers 3 to 4 cents pound under prices
ruling elsewhere under the dictation of
the trust. = - 49, r. !: ...*s .*s
At these low prices the plant has
made such good revenue that it has
grown from an original appropriation
Of $150,000 to an investment of $780,
418.51, all paid out of the profits of the
business, except the first appropriation.
It has saved the farmers of the state'
according to the calculations of the
state board of control no less than
s2,416,074.45 since it's instalIment. This
pretty penny has been saved the farm
ers, and would otherwise have gone
into the pockets of outside capital.
The plant has competed with no Min
nesota institution or labor. -. :.
The twine manufacturers plan to, in:
stall q plant in the state, with a local
organization, which will arouse interest
among Minresotans and possibly work
| up some aMtagonism for the prison
plant Its chief purpose, however, Is
to turn out a fax fiber twine, which
will undersell the sisal and manila pro-
1'duct Of the prison and kill its market,
eventually putting the state out of tire
1twine business, and placing the con.
sumers of the state once more at the
mercy of the private producers who
foam what is known as the trust. :, The
i fight means cheap tWi1e for the next
. Few years, but it also means that the
1 prison competition is so hateful to thu
| ssrast managers that they will go t.
i great lengths aud make financial sacri
fees to rid themselves of Il. The bit

To the Farmers and Grain
Dealers Of Minnesota.

There are many complaints coming
to this office claiming that i'm many
places in the stategrain buyers are tax
ing 33 ard 1s75 Obs per bushel when
buying cats. The legal weight for a
bushel Of oats is :s2lbs., and tfae taking
of any other weight unless Try special
contract is made q misdemeanor under
! the law The facts are that all oats
are sold at the terminals at:s2lbs. per
bushel and the tsaSing of more than 80
lbs per bushel when buying in the
country, is an in5esstice and a practice
which should be discontinued at once.
Some buyers make e'the excuse tina; it
ds on account Of the 'dockage. This is
not tenabie because the extra weight
is taken from the farmer with clean
oats as we'll as from those with oats
containing much dirt. Again, there is
no 'dockage on cats at'the terminals.
We respectfully urge grain dealers
to buy all oats on S2,pound per'bush-
.el basis.
Our advice to the farmer is to refuse
at all eimes, and at any price, to sell at
,&ny other weight than :82 pounds per
tbushel. The farmer with clean oats is
.entitled to the full market price, and if
his oats s>contain large amount of for
eign matter, he must expect to sell &ar
q reduced price. -
The Commission wilt undertake to
prosecute any case where proper COM.
plaint is lodged supported by evidence.
that will convict any buyer of taking
more than the legal weight for bushel
of oats except by SPECIAL contract. If
the farmer refuses to enter into the.
contract, the case seems easy TO solu- &
tiOn. |e -. - ri J. 49,. -sss.>s=HE ss>zs=H
The only way one can know that he"
is getting the market value is to have

SILVEIRA TOOK LITTLE
ALLEGED HE CARRIED OFF ONLY
$4,000 FROM HAVANA.

Manuel Silveira, the banker who disap-
peared from Havana and is held responsible
for the failure of the firm Of Ceballos & Co.
of New York, carried only $63. 900 with him
when he went to Venezuela. The Carmelina
arrived in Havana harbor last night and
was passed today by the authorities.
Silveiras partner denies a statement ca
bled from Caracas, Venezuela, that Sivera
left the firm solvent. with 81 100000 assets.
against liabilities Of 100000. He declares
that Silveira left nothing with which to
meet the firms Obligations. and that. after
making unsuccessful efforts to secure loans
from two Havana banks. Silveira took with
him $63 900 in cash. The partner Of the firm
says he will now pay all its obligations
and that the firm will then go into liquida-
ton.
Capt. Anderson of the Carmelina declares
that when the vessel was three miles off the
Cuban coast Silveira ordered him to change
his course for Venezuela, alleging political
reasons Prior to complying, the captain
called the mate of the steamer to witness
the signing of a document to this effect
Capt. Anderson was greatly surprised upon
arriving at Havana to learn of the charges
against Silveira.
II is said Governor Magoon can do nothing
except ask President Castro for Silveira's
extraditfon and the reply will depend en-
tirely on Castro's whim.

RELIEF AT SAN FRANCISCO.
Estimates for the Continuance Of the
Work Approved.

The executive committee Of the Red
Cross has finally approved the estimates
of the San Francisco relief committee for
the continuance of the relief work in that
city up to July next. Originally placed at
100000. these estimates have been re-
duced by little more than 100000 upon
the report of the Red Cross special agent.
Most Of the money required Is already in
sight, as the San Francisco committee has
balance of $685., 600. with untitled sub
scriptions subject to call of 5000 These
subscriptions include $4,000 in the hands
of the New York Chamber of Commerce
and an equal amount held by the Massachu-
sets relief committee. The Red Cross
proper holds a little over 100000 The
estimates were approved with the condition,
to which the San Francisco committee as
scented. that no further claims for damages
be paid out of the relief fund. 1t was
also arranged that the San Francisco COM
mittee should present monthly estimates
instead of calling for all the funds at once
and that all expenditures be audited at
the War Department.

MAY BE CARDINAL.
Archbishop Farley Chats of His Ru-
mored Elevation.

Archbishop John M. Farley of New York,
who, according to rumors in New York, is
to be elevated in December to a cardinalate,
held lengthy conference yesterday with
Cardinal Gibbons and Archbishop Patrick
John Ryan Of Philadelphia in Baltimore
The cardinal and his visitors form COM
mittee which is in charge of the Indian and
negro missions.
The archbishop did not seem surprised
when told last evening of a dispatch from
New York which spoke of the appointment
of a second cardinal In America.
The dispatch said persistent rumors were
current among Catholics that the selection
of Archbishop Farley for a cardinalate
will be announced at the December consist
DRY in Rome. and that the archdiocese Of
New York will be honored. as expected for
several months. Another prelate. it was
said. will receive the red hat at the same
time: one in England being in the pontiff's
mind.
While Archbishop Farley has been a car
dinal in petto, according to the dispatch.
there has never been any other belief in
church circles than that he would become
a cardinal In fact.
Correspondents of Catholic periodicals
have written from Rome, the dispatch said,
that the formal announcement would be
made in December, and one report from a
reliable source declared:
Although it is not announced here. 1t
can be said almost with certainty that an
American promotion has been arranged for
ceive the honor is the archbishop of New
York"
Archbishop Farley is the guest of Mr..
and Mrs. A. Leo Knott at their home, 1929
st. Paul street. where he has been since
Sunday evening. When he read the dis
patch he modestly admitted that the pa
pers in New York had spoken in the same
strain for some time, but that he knew
nothing further than what he read. He
declared he did not know he was to be
made cardinal and had received no init
nation from Rome regarding such a pro-
motion
With reference to being a cardinal .in
petto." the archbishop declared he had no
intimation of that either. A cardinal ''in
petto." he said, meant that the pope had
selected an archbishop for promotion or
had him in mind for the position.
IF / knew anything about a promotion
to cardinalship / could not be a cardinal
in petto. said Archbishop Farley; so,
of course, I cannot say whether i am a
cardinal in petto' or not

Street Car Service.

The first special subject considered by
President Server was street car service,
regarding which he said that during the
year the committees and members of the
association had worked most zealously and
arduously and successfully for the i'm
provement Of the existing street car serv-
Ice, and for additional facilities by an
extension along Florida avenue and Sth
street to 9Th street and Pennsylvania ave-
nue. southeast The Florida avenue extern
sion by which a, complete cross-town serv-
ice may be had seems for the first time
reasonably certain of attainment The
provision in the pending bill, on behalf Of
which about five thousand residents Of the
section to be traversed have signed petit
tons and written approximately three hum
dred letters. seems to require only the
continuation of the same careful -atten-
ton in order to be secured at the coming
session Of Congress. The association has
heartily approved Of the proposed author
ity to the Commissioners for prescribing
street car schedules and Furnishing the vio-
lation of them, well as the proposal
for the street car companies to sprinkle
