Three ways are used by farmers
for curing and preparing their to-
bacco for the market; namely sun
cured, air cured and fue cured.
The old and cheap way is called air
cured; the later discovery and i'm
proved way is called Aue cured.
2 In fue curing the tobacco is taken
from the fields and racked in barns
especially built to retain heat and
there subjected to continuous high
temperature, produced by the direct
heat of fame heated aues, which

coffee. These similar processes give

much on the curing process and the
kind of soil that produces it, as ex-

BODY THROWN INTO LAKE
Mysterious Murder Committed In Blue
Earth County.

Mysterious Murder Committed in Blue
Earth County.
That murder was committed and
Isaac E. Wheeler's house in Sterling
township, Blue Earth county, set on
fire to conceal the crime was devel-
oped when his body was taken from
the icy water of the Maple river, a
mile from his home, by Coroner Ken
nedy of Mankato and his assistants.
An examination of the body solved
the mystery of the manner of his
death, but gave no clue as to the iden.
tity of the men who struck the fatal
blows. A stab wound was found run
ming entirely through the neck, six
stab wounds were found above the
heart and there were two deep cuts
on each arm between the elbow and
the wrist
There were no cuts in either the
outer or under shirts, indicating that
these had been pulled up when the
wounds were inflicted or put on after.
wards. It is apparent that Wheeler
was attacked after he had retired,
perhaps while he was asleep. After
the murderer had done his work he
carried the body nearly a mile to the
Maple river and threw it into the Wa
ter. Before or after doing this he set
fire to the house.

Robbers secured $4,000 in cash an?
checks from the safe in the main cf-
fee of the Minnea--c:is General Cleo
tic company. It was re- ortHd by to
company officials that the cash
amounted to s1,5O0 and the checks to
$4,000.
How the robbers secured entrance
to the safe is mystery, as it was
found locked and in good repair when
the Office force arrived after the rob
berry. The main building of the Cen
eral Electric company on Fifth street
south is open day and night and it is
believed that some one slipped into
the Office and either opened the safe
or found the outer doors open.
The safe is large one with inner
and outer compartments. The outer
doors have a combination lock which
was in place, but which must have
been forced in some manner. The in
ner safe has no combination and once
the robbers had opened the big doors
their work was easy
The money and checks, together with
some valuable account books and
memoranda, were in large leather
bag inside the safe. The robbers took
the bag without stopping to separate
the cash and checks from the other
papers, which could be of no value to
them.

sity for Importation of Gold.

New York, Nov. 1S-The announce

velt and Secretary Cortelyou to issue
$50,000,OO0 in Panama bonds and $780,
100000 in sne-year treasury certif1-
Gates bearing 3 per cent interest was
the chief topic of discussion in finan-
cial circles here. The short term GER
tificates attracted most discussion be-
cause of the comparative novelty of
such an issue in this country.
It is the general opinion that the
two measures, and especially the offer
of the certificates, will draw much
money from small boards, as was the
case with the popular loan OF 1896. 1t
is believed that these certificates
would be acceptable at the Bank of
France if it should be necessary to
obtain more gold there, according to
the plans which were under discussion
last week. Some bankers here be-
lieve, however, that the issue of the
certificates will make it unnecessary
to obtain more gold. If the premium
on currency is once broken it will
change conditions of foreign exchange
so that the profit on gold imports will
be reduced or wiped out. Some bank
ers believe that this will not be an un-
mixed evil, because we already have
drawn so much gold from Europe.
They fear that this gold will be taken
back soon under the pressure Of high
discount rates and the monetary
stringency at London, Paris and Ber.
lin and they believe that the Amer
ican market should cease to disturb
European markets when it is found
that further imports of gold are not
required to maintain our position.
