Boston Wool Market.

Boston,. Jan. II. 1909.
The receipts of wool for the week were
2.07350S bales foreign and 2.296,S5l bales
domestic. against 639, 260 bales foreign and
l,411, 704 bales domestic forthe same time
last year
REMARKS:-The first few days of the
new year were pretty quiet ones in the
ty active market during the past few
days and dealers have really been ham
pered for want of supplies. Constant in
qttries are made for all grades of domes-
tic wool, but the stocks in the hands of
the trade are so small that sales are
necessarily limited. There also is a de-
mand for New Zealand cross-breds, but
they, too, are in light supply. So small
is the stock of domestic fleece woods that
prices are really nominal, and that state
ment is true in a somewhat lesser degree
of territory woods. Staple and medium
grade territories are very well sold up
class have long since passed out of the
hands of merchants. Very few delane
fleeces are now offered and it takes con-
siderable shopping by buyers to complete
line of any considerable size of half,
three-eights or quarter-blood woods

000-not great as fortunes are reckOned
in most countries. but very great as
Spain understands such things. Ferrer
spent it all on his theories and became
a menace When he died only $4,000
of it was left. Every real of the rest
was spent in advancing the cause OF
the Escuela Moderna (the modern
SCHOOL,.
with free hand and the money
his wife left him Ferrer was able to
embark on the career of reconStruc-
ton he had hoped for all his life. He
was then fOrty-one years old-a born
Catalonian. who spoke Castilian Span
ish with disdainful difficulty. but wrote
it with purity. He was man of me-
dunn height sturdily built, with high.
intellectual forehead.
"Ferrers success was amazing for d
time His preaching of anarchistic
doctrines could no more be stopped
than Kropotkins could. Besides, his
main concern WAS with his schools.
He travelled widely. planting new
schools everywhere. He went beyond
the borders of Spain, arOusing interest
everywhere and collecting money, al
ways with the assistance of the scien-
lists in every land to which he went"
When Ferrer was on trial for his
life in 1906 it was Senior Lerroux. a
Republican deputy. who gave him the
certificates of character which saved
him. This was that Ferrer taught no
anarchy-only ''internationalism."
Ferrer kept in hiding after the Bar
celona riots in protest against the
Spanish war in Morocco. 1t was learn
ed by the police that at his country
home in Mongat be had dug cave un-
derneath his house, into which he re-
tired when searchers arrived. Acting
on this information. the police finally
succeeded in arresting him on Sept. II.
His trial this time was by a secret
court martial. That no examination Of
witnesses was made is a point urged
against its fairness and legality. The
process was TO take evidence by depo-
sition. after which documents were
prepared to be submitted to the trial
court Nobody knew the outcome Of
the court martial until it was whis-
pered on Oct. ~ that Ferrer had been
ordered to the fortress Montjuich.
The news came suddenly. 1t gave no
time for demonstrations, but there
was time for the slogan "Ferrer's lib
erty or the kings lifew to go from end
to end of the red cause.
The Chicago Daily Socialist gives
King Alfonso but two months more at
the outside to survive the anger ne
has stirred In Spain.

Was a Visitor at Red Wing.

DR.. G. A. Newman and family OF
New London were in the city last
Saturday enroute for their home
after visit at Red Wing, the Doc
tors old home. The occasion for
the visit at this time was the cele-
bration of the eightieth birthday
Of DR.. Newman's mother. While
at Willmar DR.. Newman made the
Tribune a pleasant call and from
the brief conversation we had in re-
gard to the city Of Red Wing one
of the potent reasons for the sue
cessful development Of that thriv-
ing little city was made plain to
us. Red Wing has been blessed
with set of men who not only are
glad to make their money there.
but who are also willing to spend
it there. The. city has been made
the beneficiary of bequests of men
who had made their wealth there,
in one instance the amount running
up into six figures. The handsome
auditorium there is memorial of
one of the deceased loyal citizens.
Boulevards and public property
which were eye-sores have been i'm
proved to become beauty spots by
public spirited citizens without
cost to the city. Is it any wonder
that place where such citizens
may be enumerated should grow
and prosper?

1t was for that very reason that
Mr.. Ruegg selected this farm, how
ever. He believed that wornout
and so 1r soil was simply soil from
which the necessary mineral ele-
ments had been extracted by the
successive crops that had heen rails
ed in it. To restore the qualities
of fertility to such soil-if his
theory was corrcet-it would only
be necessary to restore the mienra]
elements that the negotiations had
extracted, and this he proceeded to
do. His first step was to analyze
the soil. to ascertain what mineral
elements were lacking. Then, he
supplied these in the form Of powd.

Polar Etiquette.

We did not hesitate to take advan-
tage Of the cache made by Abruzzi on
Cape Flora, knowing that the duke
was safe in warmer climes, for it is
polar etiquette that the first hungry
party that finds Il cache is at liberty to
take the supplies. Such action has al
ways been regarded as perfectly law
full and proper. because the food is
taken to sustain life, and, as in our
own case, they are ready to make good
if they ever get out alive. In addition
to the canned meats left by the Abruz-
zi expedition there were some which
an English party had cached.-Captain

A new SECRET OF
FORCES OF NATURE
A NEW SECRET OF NATURE.

A NEW SECRET OF NATURE.
There is man at Clifton, N. j.,
who seems to have discovered the
secret Of perfect vegetation. On
little ten-acre farm he is raising
flowers that might we'll be the
envy Of any florist, fruits and shrubs
that would put the most successful
nurseryman to the blush, and vegc-
tables that are so much larger and
sweeter than those that other
farmers in that neighborhood can
raise that it is difficult to find
words with which to compare them.
Moreover, though these fruits and
flowers and vegetables may be ex-
amined ever so closely, no sign Of
insect or parasitic life can be found
upon them. On other farms, peach
trees are suffering from scales; ;
spinach is blighted; bugs swarm
over the potatoe vines; corn is
wormy, cabbage is eaten by lice.
None of these evidences Of destruc-
tion exists on this farm. Instead
the twelve-feet high corn stalks
produce ears of corn of a normal
size and weight; tomatoes are grown
that are almost big enough to fill a
quart measure, and every thing else
bears similar evidence to freedom
from those pests that ordinarily
prove so destructive to vegetation.
The man who has produced these
wonders-who claims to have dis.
covered this secret of nalure-is
Jonh j. Ruegg. Although origin
ally a silk manufacturer, he aban-
doned commercial life many years
ago that he might devote all his
time to the study of scientific agri.
culture. When a young man, in
Switzerland, he had become possess
ed of the idea that the luxuriant
vegetation existing in the vicinity
Of the volcanic mountains was due
to the fact that the soil was par
