BIG CARNATIONS.
They Were Cultivated In England Irn
Shakespeare's Time.

A florist says that we pride ourselves.
nowadays on the size of our carna-
tions, but the florists of 300 years ago
grew carnations three to four inches
across, as large as any that we see,
and thought nothing Of it.
"Al through Spain, southern France
and Italy the carnation is the favorite
flower and has been for hundreds Of
years, but along the Mediterranean

tected situations and on, southern
slopes of hills even delicate flowers.

bloom as freely at Christmas as in
July.
''The big carnations, however, were,
not grown in Spain or Italy, but in
England outdoors during the summer
time and before glass, houses were
known. They may have grown just
as large carnation flowers In Spain as.
in England at that time, but in Eng
land there was record made of the
there was not. Shakespeare mentions,
carnations and gillyfowers, or July
flowers, together as blooming at the,
same season, which shows that the
carnation was then summer flower,
whereas in our greenhouses it is now
winter bloomer. How the florists Of
those days treated the plants to OBJ
tain blooms of such size nobody knows,

London, Feb. 1S-A cablegram to
the Times from Toxic denies en-
phatically that any solution of the
San Francisco trouble has been agreed
to by Japan, the basis of which will
be the restriction of the admission of
Japanese labor to America.
The consensus Of opinion of those
high in British international affairs
is that this reply is entirely erroneous,
inasmuch as it does not in any sense
reflect the temper of the Japanese
people
It is predicted here that the matter
has not yet been passed upon by the

clare himself his expressions will be
more startling than anything which
has so far dropped out in the contro-

Not Legally Dead.

Winona-An old murder mystery is
recalled by the action begun in the pro-
bate court of this county to declare
Charles Farnholz legally dead.
It was in May, 1899, that Mr. Farm
holZ left his home near Lewiston to
visit for couple of weeks with rela-
tives near Fountain City. He left word
with neighbors to look after his stock
until he returned. Two or three
months later the neighbors wondered
why he had not returned and wrote to
his relatives at Fountain City for in
formation. They replied that they had
not seen him and supposed that he was
still at his farm. 1t was then recalled
that some time after he had left his
the face cut off, had been found in a
marsh near Fountain City.
The man evidently had been MUIR
dered and every means of his identi-.
fcation removed. The friends and
relatives of Farnholz then believed that
the murdered man was he and that he
had been murdered across the river
from Winona for the little money he
had on his person. But the mystery
was never cleared. AS nothing since
has been heard of him, his relatives
now have made application to the pro-
bate court for the appointment of a
guardian for his son, which action will
have the effect of declaring the father
legally dead.

What Tax is Due?

ST. Paul.-Unless the supreme court
oyerrules the decision Of Judge Hallam,
the Duluth & Northern Minnesota and
Minnesota & North Wisconsin railway
companies will have to pay a per
cent gross earnings tax to the state
of Minnesota for the taxes of 1905.
1t is claimed that there is due from
the former road for this tax $3,9O6.66
and from the latter, $3,557.s1
Each of these roads had paid a tax
on the basis of 2 per cent of the gross
earnings for the year in question
In 1873 the legislature passed an
act providing that the ST. Paul, Still
water & Taylors Falls Railway com
pany should pay a gross earnings tax
of per cent for the first three years,
per cent for the next seven and per
cent thereafter. The two roads above
referred to come under the provisions
of this act and We're required to pay a
tax of 1 per cent up to 1901 and per
cent UP to and including 1908

New York, Feb. 16.-The Hamburg
American line steamer Valdivia, fruit
laden from the West Indies, came into
port Saturday with her forward decks
shattered, her funnel fiat upon the
deck, and the story of boiler explo-
sion on board last Wednesday morn
ing which caused the instant death of
seven members of the crew and the
serious injury of another The dead
are:

Victims Killed Instantly.
The exploding boiler was known as
the auxiliary, and supplied steam to
the various hosting engines, capstans,
steering gear, etc. Off Hatteras last
Wednesday it was decided to turn
steam from the auxiliary boiler into
the main steam pipes to help out in
making the speed necessary to con-
tract requirements and to save the
perishable cargo. All through the
loading ports in the West Indies, it
is said, the auxiliary boiler had been
working with 80 to 100 pounds of
steam, whereas just before the explo-
sion occurred the steam gauge showed
pressure of only 35 pounds This

when suddenly there came puff as
it was described and seven men lay
dead in the companionway of the for
ward tween decks.
Captain Kruger, commanding the
Valdivia, was in the chart house for
ward when the explosion occurred. He
was stunned by the force of it, but
amid the crashing, of heavy timbers
and thesroar of the falling smokestack
he rushed for the bridge and seized
the engine room Indicator of tele-
graph, but the lines had been broken
and so Captain Kruger sent his quar-
termaster to the engine room to have
the engines stopped. The steering gear
also had become deranged and the
ship had begun to swing in a big cir
Gle. The first and second officers of
the ship had gone to their posts of
duty, and it is said that within very
few minutes after the explosion oc-
Cured the Valdivia was standing to
and the injured were being cared for
and the bodies Of the dead being col
lected for burial. Repairs were soon
under way and when canvas had been
rugged up for draught purposes in
place of the broken stack the ship was
headed for Norfolk, the idea being to
care for the injured there.

super-Structure Torn Open.

The chief officer, who was on duty
on the bridge, was buried in the de-
bris when found. He stated when the
explosion occurred everything appear
ed to fall over the bridge onto the
deck and the super-structure above the
smokestack and the decks were torn
open. All of the life-boats were dam
aged, one so smashed that it was
thrown overheard. The smokestack
fell down to the deck but was secured.
All of the inner structures abaft of the
bridge were completely torn out.
When the explosion occurred the
steamer stopped and everybody rush
ed to the rescue of the injured. The
dead We're so mangled thatit was with
difficulty that the bodies were secured.
After some delay in clearing the
wreckage, the funnel was secured to
derricks attached to the main mast
and the life boats were secured in the
checks for repairs. The dead were
buried at sea-.
The Valdivia is a passenger and
freight steamer belonging to the Ham.

ports in the West Indies. Her SEIZED.
ule on this voyage included ports in

Injured Taken to Hospital.

Arriving off the Virginia capes, the
weather was heavy and Captain Kru-
ger decided to keep on to New York.
When the Valdivia reached her pier
Saturday the injured member of the
crew, whose life is all but despaired
of, was taken off and conveyed to a
hospital. The first officer of the Val
DIVA also had been hurt by the explo-
sion, but his injuries had been dressed
on board
There was but one passenger on the
ship, j. H. Roys, of Columbus, Ohio,
who had been on business tour of
the West Indies. Mr.. Roys, who for
merly was a lieutenant in the United
States navy, joined the Valdivia at
Jeremie, Hayti, where the chip called
on February 8. The last stop made
by the big fruiter was at Inagua,
in the Bahamas, on February 10. She
then headed for New York under all
possible speed, and it was just three

Mad Doc.

Minneapolis-A dog, supposedly mad,
that was shot at the corner of Ninth

dog ever chased by an automobile.
This particular canine started oper-

and Nicollet avenue. He snapped at
several pedestrians and finally sue
ceeded in biting couple of women.
The crowds on the streets at the time
became panic stricken and Patpolnan
Mcdonald was summoned to kill the
animal. He fired once and the bullet
barely grazed the brute's head
Suffering from this wound the dog
tore down Nicollet avenue as fast as
he could. The patrolman was quickly
distanced. Seeing an automobile pass
ing the officer asked the driver for a
lift, and soon was speeding after the
dog. Down Fifth street south the ami
NAL ran with the putting buzz wagon
in full pursuit, but it was not until
ninth avenue was reached that the Of
icer caught up. Patrolman Mcdonald
jumped out at that place and with a
single shot killed the fugitive
