ing stage appearance and manner,
which added to a rich mezzo-soprano
voice captivated her audience.

Who Will Get This Prize?

S. A. Sutton, Of Cresco, Iowa, has
co-operated with The Seventh Annual
Corn Growers Association, Exposition
and Contest to be held at the New Col
liseum, Des Moines, Iowa, Nov. 10Th
to Dec. 18th, by offering one of his
gifts to go to the exhibitor of the best
ten ears of corn from Winneshiek
County.
Mr.. Sutton is breeder of wide repu-
tation and his being selected as the one
to call upon for this sort of premium in
the interest of better corn and more of
it to the acre is considered to be quite
a credit, on the other hand the interest
that he is displaying and his co-opera-
ton in this matter will undoubtedly in
crease the local interest considerab ly

WORK FOR UNIFORM GRADING.
Committee VIII Take Up and Discuss
Disputed Points.

/ Indianapolis, Oct. IL. The Grain
Dealers National Association conven-
ton here has made great stride to-
ward uniform grading of grains.
! BY conceding some of the demands
made by the Chicago grain men for
changes in the grain grades draft
adopted at the St. Louis convention
last year, the grain men have finally
adopted the Kansas City, Chicago and
southwestern market grades on milo
maize and kaffir corn. They also made
some material concessions by granting
part of the Chicago mems demands
for changes in wheat tests.
There were, however, five demands
made by the Chicago grain men for
changes in wheat gradings that were
not granted. Steps were taken to bring
an agreement on those five points of
difference by the organization of a
strong committee of five which will
call a conference with the Illinois,
Minnesota, Missouri and Kansas state
commissions and prominent boards of
trade. At this meeting an effort will
be made to get in agreement of these
five grades of wheat.
One of the first refusals was in the
demand of the Chicago grain men to
raise the test weight of No. 2 white
winter wheat from Sc to 81 pounds
Another denial was of the demand
that No. 2, and 4 hard winter wheat
may contain a maximum of 25 pei
cent rod winter wheat
The national convention refused tc
raise the test weight of No. 1 hard
spring wheat from So to So pounds and
No. 2 northern spring wheat from 81
to sly pounds.
The convention Indicated that II
would grant an additional one pound
to the test weights Of velvet chat
wheat grades, but refused to accede t.
the demands of the Chicago men tt
raise the weight test approximate,
three pounds.
The convention conceded the de
mands Of the Chicago men for the us,
of the word new" as now used il
the Illinois rules, and also granted
changes demanded in red winter, Nc
spring and Nos. 1, 2. 8 and whit,
spring wheats, and in durum wheat.

LAW APPLIES TO ALL INDIANS
Hearing on Writ of Habeas Corpus
Sought for Imprisoned Indian Po-
lice Due About Thurs
day.

st. Paul, Oct. 11.-Coincident with
application for writ of habeas corpus
made to the United States district
court for the release from Jail of the
ten agents of the Indian affairs bureau
who destroyed the ardent spirits" in
the saloons of Mahnomen, Attorney
General George T. Simpson said the
state will aid the federal authorities
in enforcing the law prohibiting the
sale of liquor to Indians.
1T is not question of whether an
Indian has been allotted land, as many
of the people in northern Minnesota
seem to think" said Mr.. Simpson. AS
a matter of fact, the state statutes
prohibit the sale of liquor to any per-
son of Indian blood. In March last l
notified county attorneys in the north
ern counties that the state law must
be obeyed."
1t was even intimated at the capitol
that the attorney general might call
the county attorneys to accoun for
their failure to enforce the law.
The writ is thought likely to be
made returnable next Thursday. The
application was made to Judge Charles
A. Willard, but the hearing will prob
ably be before Judge Page Morris, a
Duluth. Judge Willard intimated tt
Assistant United States Attorney Egg
bert S. Oakley, that he would issue
the writ, but the action was deferred
until later in the day, to consult witt
Judge Morris as to whether he coul,
hold the hearing Thursday.

j S. MAY PROTEST
ORIENTAL TREATY
AGREEMENT BETWEEN JAPAN
AND CHINA is OBNOXIOUS
TO STATE DEPARTMENT.
VIOLATES OPEN DOOR POLICY
Pact Was Pushed Through While
American Diplomats Were Absent,
Thinking That Nothing
Would Be Done.

Washington, Oct. 8. Additional
facts and details relating to the exact
diplomatic situation which led up to
the negotiation of the Antung- Mukden
railroad has been secured from re-
liable source. This information only
tends to confirm the impression that
the United States will be called upon
to protest against a violation of the
open door agreement in China and fur
Their relegates to the rear any attempt
to make it appear that Charles r.
Crane, of Chicago, the new minister to
China, has been recalled from San
Francisco by Philander c. Knox, sec
rotary of state, primarily for the pur-
pose of receiving reprimand for al
legged indiscreet remarks with respect
to the relations between China and
the United States.
Diplomats Off Guard.
1t is learned that the negotiations
ceeded for some time under the watch
full eye of the United States and other
nations, previous to the signing Of the
treaty between China and Japan early
in July. All the time of signing the
treaty it is understood to have been
the belief of the state department,
based on information from Minister w.
w. Rockhill at Pekin and from other
sources, that the question at issue be-
tween China and Japan would not be
definitely concluded for at least two
years.
1t is known that the Chinese foreign
office thought it would take three
years. Acting on this belief, Minister
Rockhill sailed for the United States
on June 20 and Thomas j. O'Brien
| United States ambassador to Japan
sailed from Yokohama, on leave OF
absence, on June 26.
To the complete surprise of the
state department, the treaty between
Japan and China relating to the con
struction of and concessions along the
South Manchurian and Antung- Muk
den railroad was signed early in July
per the protest of China. Had thi.
event been expected it is not believed
here that Mr. Rockhill would have
left his post at Pekin or that Mr.
O'Brien would have returned home a
that time.

charges will be investigated by the
house of representatives at the begin

Speaker Cannon has said that the
matter is one which should be care

Mr.. Parsons says that in return for
this work in Washington, the republic
ans helped Tammany kill, at Albany,

CENSUS TESTS ARE EASY.
Bureau Authorities Expect That Fully
rs Per Cent. Will Pass.

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE census
bureau authorities expect that fully
rs per cent will pass of the number
to be examined on October %, next,
for the 5000 additional temporary po-
sitions in the census Office. On this
basis, total number of 1000 appli-
cants from all over the country would
provide the force permitted under the
act of congress appropriating for the
thirteenth census and designating the
number of employees.
Up to the present time not more
than half the required number have
filed their applications in conformity
with the Instructions Jointly issued
by the department of commerce and
labor and the civil service commits
sion. In recent announcement by
the latter it was stated that very
small proportion Of the applications
are from residents of the more distant
states.
1t is believed in some quarters that
the minimum salary of 5000 per an
nun and the minimum service of
oDouI q ySui otlOu dIC luS COH-
siderations lettering applicants in
the far west. In this connection 1t
is stated at the census bureau that,
while 5000 is the minimum salary for
the clerical positions, it is very prob
able that within month after be-
ginning work those who render salts
factory service will be promoted until
eventually they receive at least SIS
per month. Those who are put to
work on the tabulating machines will,
in all likelihood, be paid on the piece
price basis, which will afford an op.
portunity for greater compensation
than would otherwise be possible.
