"prize" Flour Ahead.

There is S. gold piece wait
ing at the food show for the best
bread baker in Cleveland. The
-four that this bread was made
from was brand called "Prize," !"
made by the Monarch Milling
Co., Hutchinson, Kansas. This
bread, out of over a hundred
loaves, was the most ideal as. to
artistic baking, lightness, texture,
shape, size, appearance, flavor,
crust, taste and cutting propens'-
ties. All of these things were
known to and considered by the
competent judges and all the
committee from the Grocers' as
sociation who had the contest in
charge.
The fact that the first prize
was awarded bread made from
Kansas floul over bread made
from some of the crack Minneso-
ia spring wheat patents is feath-
er in the cap of this Kansas mill.
and our Northwestern friends
have awakened to the fact that
they have lively and successful
competitor in -four. from the Jay

Mrs. Bradley viii Bring Action u
Rrcak IL.

Now that she has been acquitted on
the charge OF murder, Mrs, Annie NJ.
Bradley. through her attorneys and
in behalf OF her children. will bring ar
action to break the will OF the late
Senator Arthur Brown. whom she sh
to death in Washington. Her frienfs
at Salt Lake City say that such q
course has been contemplated ey.-
since the will was opened. The con-
test will be based on the written ac-
acknowledgement of Senator Brown that
Mrs. Bradley's two sons are his own
In his will Brown expressly ~disavowed
the paternity of the two children and
stipulated they should receive nothing
from his estate. The greater part OF
the estate amounting in all to some
s5o.ooo, was devised to his son Max
and his daughter Alice. The attack On
the will. which has already been ad-
mitted To probate. will not commence
until Judge Powers returns from
Washington.

Dead Kansan's Business Partner Held
as Murder Suspect.

William I. Stewart. proprietor OF a
restaurant in Cast lola, Kan, and
member OF a prominent family in
Yates Center. Kan. was brutally muir
dered near his place of business at an
early hour Sunday morning. The body.
which vas found at daylight. bore ev-
idence Of seven wounds. any one CT
which would have produced death.
The skull had been fractured In
four places. the Jugular vein severe 4
and the trachae twice severed.
Stewart and Cresceson were carous-
Ing together at Stewards home until
after midnight, when meon knock
ed at the back door. Stewart answer
ed the summons and announced In n
maudiin hat he was xoiny
out for a walk. but would soon return.
He was not seen by his family again.
and II Is believed he was killed several
hours later. Near his body were some
dead chickens, placed there for the
evident purpose of conveying the i'm
preston that he had been killed for a
chicken thief. The police scout this
suggestion. That Stewart put up a
hard fight for his life Is evidenced
by the n In which the ground
was torn up.

tion soon followed. Secretary TAR.
her son, had visited her on ~Independ-
encse day and left her apparently in
normal health to go to his summe-
home In Canada. from which place he
was summoned on Aus. Is. because OF
alarm at his mothers condition. He
spent a day at her bedside and found
her In q less dangerous condition than
he a supposed. The imperative du-
ties OF his official life called him to
Washington, where plans for a tour
OF the world had been so definitely
arranged that they could not be
changed n his mother IA reported

ceeded to carry out his program.

MORE BUTTE MINES CLOSE.
About 5000 Added to Already Large
Number Of Idle Men.

Pursuant to orders from New York
all the mines Of the Amalgamated
Copper company. at Butte. Mont.
by the Boston and Montana
are being closed down. Work has al
SO been stopped at the mines OF the
Butte Coalition and North Butte COM
panies, the ores from which were
treated at the Washoe smelter in An
aconda. The latter plant will be
closed indefinitely. and about a.O0J
men will be laid off there. The Anal
gamated mines that are being closed
employ about 1900 men. For severa.
months the A~malgamated has been
producing about one-fourth OF its
normal copper production. 1t is stated
that the output IL the Boston ana
Montana mines will be somewhat in
creased as a result of the suspension
of other properties. Its ore is treated
e: Great Falls. Already about 1000
men have ben aid off at the Butte
mines and smelters. and the new order
will d nearly 5000 to the rumber
orders will be completely In effect by
the lst OF January. and the shut
down of the mines and Washoe smell
ter will be prolonged. 1t is suspected
that there is more behind the shut
down tina the unsatisfactory copper
situation.
1t is generally feared that the fed
eral court will grant an injunction
against the Washoe smelter and that
me shutdown now may be in antici-
patton OF 1t. Neither the North Butte
nor Butte Coalition company has
smelter facilities OF its own.
