CROWN PRINCE OF DAHoMEY.
Tries to Commit Suicide From Shee,
Lack Of Amusement.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
ALGIERS. July 3o.-From sheer boredom
and lack of facilities for amusement,
Prince Quinlo. son of the exiled ex-King of
Dahomey. attempted TO commit suicide at
Algiers by drinking a decoction of match
heads
He shares his fathers exile, and as the
French government has kept the family
short OF funds. the young prince moped all
day for want of something to do.
He finally got several hundred matches,
cut the phosphorus heads off. and boiled
them down. Then he swallowed the decoc-
ton, but the pain was so great that he
could not bear 1t In silence.
His cries brought help just in time to save
his life and he is now out of danger. He
said his life was not worth living without
amusement.
His father. ex-King Behanzin. suffers
from Bright's disease. and the doctors de-
clare that the Algerian climate does not
suit him. 1t is probable that the minister
OF the colonies will consider whether the
king and his son cannot be permitted to
return to their country.

The current number OF Financial Review
has this TO say concerning the Greater
Washington movement:
The agitation for local commercial ex-
pansIon has outlived Its infancy resulting
in an organization that is ready 10 give

furthermore, that our citizens are in dead
earnest and that the movement is not TO
be allowed to result III a mere ghost

The hope of the movement would ap-
pear to lie in the unanimity with which
IL IS Endorsed by the strongest names of
Washington. The city is stirred To- its
depths partly for remorse over the long
neglect of its commercial Interests and
partly with a determination that tee world
shall know something of the weii-nigh
matchless advantages we possess as n-dis-

Washing Milk Pals.

The milk pals should never be al
lowed to stand after being emptied,
says American Cultiyator If it is not
convenient to wash them at once they
should be filled with cold water, which
will prevent the thin film composed of
the solids of the milk forming on the
inside OF the pail. Once this film is al
lowed to dry on the pail it is almost
impossible to remove it. A frequent
mistake consists In pouring hot water
into the pals before they have been
rinsed out with cold water. The eff
feet Of this treatment is to cause the
film to adhere more firmly. Rinsing
with cold water is always the first
process in the cleaning of metal milk
vessels; then follow the washing and
scalding. Wiping is unnecessary, as
the heat of tine vessel after the scald-
ing water is removed is sufficient to
dry off the surface.

1T WAS A BRUTAL CRIME

Murderer at Large.

Kewaunee, Wis, July 9.-Later de-

Campbell Lohse discloses that it was
brutal crime. The husband, now
missing, is said to have visited the

chased revolver. A visit to the home
revealed blood smeared walls and
floor. The body was lying in pool of
blood with wound in the right tenn
pie, two in the back and one in the
wrist.

parts being found nearby. The murder

Fitting the Heifers For Cows.

The process should commence with
calfhood and be judiciously followed
up, says American Cultivator The idea
that young animals may be grown
cheaply on the poorer qualities of feed
is mistake entirely. AS heifers are
expected to begin giving milk now at
two years old instead of three years,
as was once the case, it follows that
they must be kept thrifty and steadily
growing from the first. During the first
and second winters they should have
the best Of hay and a small amount Of
grain feed, especially the first winter.
This should be of a kind that will as
sist in the growth of bone and muscle.
Ground oats or oats and bran will be
good for this purpose.
They should have warm, comforta BILE
quarters and always be kept clean and
we'll cared for. In this way they will
grow right along and if rightly han
died become quiet and docile and make
good and profitable additions to the
dairy at the proper time.

They had just completed the work
of taking photographs of some sea
gulls, and Mr.. Pprosbree raised his gun
to kill the bird, when the barrels
burst, the charge entering the left

flesh, tendons, and muscles. Being

INSPECTION TO BE DISCUSSED
Senator HudnaIl Will Speak to Bank
ers on Grain Law.


Superior, Wis, July 1O.-State Sen
ator q. B. Hudnall, of this city, will
speak before the annual convention of
the North Dakota Bankers association
at Fargo, next week. He will repre-
sent the Superior board Of trade, the
Wisconsin grain inspection interests
and the Superior grain men in gen
eral and will discuss the fight of the
Superior men against the Minnesota
inspection system and for the Wiscon-
sin inspection system. After the
Minneapolis and Duluth people heard
that Superior man was going to talk
they asked to be heard and this privi-
lege was granted them so that both
sides of the grain inspection fight will
be presented.
Although the grain men lost out in
the Injunction suit before Judge San
born in the United States court at
Madison, they have not given up hope.
They will take the case to the United
States court of appeals and will put
forth every effort to have Wisconsin
inspection used under the limitations
made by Judge Sanborn in his de-
cisiOn.
Missionary work will be done among
the people Of North Dakota and every
effort will be made to have the grain
shipper insist upon Wisconsin inspec-
ton. Under the decision of the court
the inspectors will not be allowed to
go into the cars. but will be allowed
to only inspect such grain as they have
orders to. They can not inerfere in
any way with the interstate commerce.
Superior, Wis, July 10. Judge
Parish, Of the circuit court at Ash
land, in decision in the case of
