Will Inspect Wheat.

nneapolis.-Word was received
that the government would establish
grain laboratories in Minneapolis, Du-
luth and st. Louis for grading wheat.
This announcement is looked upon
with favor by many of the grain men,
who believe in federal inspection rath-
or than state inspection. There are
now similar laboratories for inspec-
ton in New York and Baltimore, and
the location of three in the West is
believed to be a step in advance. The
different systems Of grading prevailing
in different states often causes grain
men much inconvenience and trouble,
and under a general federal grading
they believe much Of this difficulty
would be eliminated. Local firms now
have their own laboratories, but the
federal inspection will be on a much
broader scale and the work will be in
charge of government experts.

Shoots Friend, Then Himself.


Fairfax.-The plot of a desperate
man to murder his friend and to kill
himself was only partly carried out
here. when Henry Kaatz, aged thirty
five, shot Martin KunZ, a barkeeper,
aged forty, in the back of the head and
then turned the weapon upon himself.
inflicting a wound in his own head
from which he died Immediately.
The shooting occurred in Joseph
Dickmeyer's saloon, in which KunZ
had worked as a barkeeper for doZ-
en- years. Kaatz went to Kunz's rooms
and asked him to go to the saloon
with him. Arriving at the saloon both
took a drink, and Kunz leaned back in
a chair while Kaatz sat upon billiard
table and carried on what appeared
to be q mutually agreeable conversa-
ton.
Suddenly Kaatz strobe from the
table to a position close beside his
friend, and taking a revolver from his
pocket fired bullet at close range
into the back of Kunz's head. Kunz
dropped like a log, and everybody in
the saloon thought he was dying.
Without a seconds delay Kaatz raised
the gun to his own forehead and blew
out his brains.
Kunz was seen to be breathing and
was taken to the Office of a physician,
where 1t was found he was merely
stunned, the bullet having flattened
against bone just below the left ear.
The bullet was removed and he is now
recovering.
Kunz declares there was no provoca-
ton for the attempt upon his life and
no motive for the suicide Of Kaatz,
unless it be that the latter had grown
tired Of his reckless and unsatisfactory
way of living and had plotted his own
death and that Of his inseparable
friend so that the two might be joined

Bull Cores AGED Man.

Wadena.-J. G. Anderson, seventy
years old, living at Compton, west of
here, was seriously injured by bull
which he had gone into the barn to
feed. While he was arranging hay
for the animal, it suddenly attacked
him, pinning him against the wall of
the barn. The fact that the bull had
been dehorned is all that saved Mr.
Anderson's life. The bulls attention
was distracted for a moment and the
aged man managed to crawl partially
outside the barn door, His legs re-
manned inside, and these the bull
stamped with his feet and probably
would have fatally hurt the old man
had his son not discovered his predica-
ment and rescued him.

UphoIds the Law.

Duluth-Although two United States
judges, Mccall of Tennessee and
Evans of Kentucky. have declared the
federal employers liability bill uncon-
stitutional, Judge Page Morris, in a
decision here, upholds 1t.
The decision was handed down In
the suit of John Kelley against the
Great Northern railroad, seeking to re-
cover damages for injuries sustained
through the alleged negligence of a
fellow employee, this being made a
cause for liability of the employer un-
der the federal statute. The railroad
company filed demurrer in which the
constitutionality Of the law was at
tackled.
In his decision Judge Morris main
tains that the law is constitutional as
a. matter of common justice. An ap-
peal will be taken.

Cap,teI City Mills.


Salem ia not behind other cities
of the west in the raDidity with
which It utilizes all modern conven-
fences and the concerns upon which
II depends for these facilities are
prepared TO dll the needs of the
growing city and this community by
keeping pace with the best ideas
and equipment In their line. This
statement is demonstrated and prov
en- by a visit to the Capital CITY
Mills owned and operated by Messrs
Bryant and Reeder.
This industry was established some
iye years ago. by Bryant and Reeves.
who conducted the same for about
one year. at which time Mr.. Reeves
sold out his interest to Mr. l.. c. Pen
nell. The Arm stood as Bryant and
Pennell until last October. when Mr.
Reeder purchased Mr.. Pennells in
terest. The building Is a modern
three-story structure, and is equipped
throughout with latest machinery
known to modern milling. There was
$500 worth OF new machinery in
stalled this last year and many I'M
provements made in different lines.
The daily capacity of the mill Is
100 barrels. the output of which finds
a ready market throughout this vi
cinity. Some idea OF the volume OF
business this mill is doing may be OBJ
taincd when we say that they took
in over $4,000 bushels Of wheat from
the farmers OF this section in 1906.
Their popularity and reputation Is
well earned by producing the very
best quality OF family -four, the ex-
cellence OF which Is attested by the
fact that Il Is found in every grocery
store in Salem. and that II always
commands a ready market.
Their leading brand Of aour, which
Is known as Perfection. cannot be
excelied on earth and is par excel
lonce.
They also manufacture buckwheat'
rye and wholewheat -four and grind
corn meal. This enterprise Is OF the
greatest Importance to the farmers
throughout this community, as II af-
fords them the best facilities for the
grinding of their grain, and pays the
highest market prices for their pro-
duct. May the Capital City Mills
long contalnue to turn out the stan
OF life. and be compelled ere long
to double their capacity Is the wish
OF the Capital Journal.
