ATE DURUM WHEAT
North Dakotans Complied With
the Governor Proclamation.
All Bread and Wheat Foods Consumed

All Bread and Wheat Foods Consumed
on Thursday We're Made of Durum,
In Compliance With Request Of
Grain Growers For the Purpose Of
Establishing Claim for Durum as a
Bread Grain Equal of Standard
Hard Varieties.
In compliance with a proclamation
of Governor Burke, North Dakotans
on Thursday of last week ate dur
um wheat only. The proclamation
was issued in compliance with
request of the grain growers of North
and South Dakota and Minnesota for
the purpose of establishing durum as
bread grain.
The day was observed throughout
the state. All bread and wheat foods
were made of durum and the sales of
that quality of -four in consequence
were heavy.
A widespread interest has been TAX
en- by the farmers in pushing the sale
of durum, as with the price equal to
that of other varieties of wheat the in
come from their land would be much
increased. A test showed it to be
equal to standard hard varieties for
bread and other food products.

CHINESE PORK IN LONDON
Nine Per Cent Of the Carcases Found
to Be Infected With tuberculosis.

No fewer than per cent of the car
cases of Chinese hogs recently i'm
ported into England and inspected by
the sanitary committee of London have
been found to be affected with tuber-
culosis. This remarkable outcome of
the inspection has occurred in spite of
the fact that the Carcases were labeled
at the port of shipment in China med
ically examined and certified to be
free from disease
The first shipment of 5000 hogs
was brought from China in a refriger-
ating ship. They arrived here Aug.
Z and sold well in the wholesale mar
ket. Although they were offered by
the retail butchers at % per cent be-
low the prices charged for other i'm
ported hogs, they did not find favor
with the public, who displayed great
prejudice against them. The butchers
were then obliged to raise the prices
of American and European pork in
order to dispose of their Chinese
stock. The steamship company which
endeavored to introduce the Chinese
pork was of the opinion that it would
prove, owing to its cheapness, strong

HEARST RUNS FOR MAYOR
With Proviso That Associates Are In.
dependent of Tammany Hall.

After two days of silence William
Randolph Hearst announced to a
crowd of waiting constituents that
he would accept an independent
nomination for mayor of New York,
provided that, in effect, his associates
upon the city and county tickets be
strictly independent, with opposition
against Tammany Hall united and not
divided
All preparations having been made
for launching the Civic Alliance, it is
expected that Mr.. Hearst's wishes will
be fulfilled and that a third party un-
der this name will be injected into the
coming municipal campaign, with
Hearst at the head.
1t became a certainty that the may
orally contest would become a three.
sided one even if Hearst persisted in
his refusal to run. AS proof of this
a group of Independents filed notice
with the board of elections that their
organization will be known as the
Civic Alliance. With the adoption of
this new name 1t is believed that the
old independence League, under whose
banner Hearst conducted his former
fights, will cease to play an important
part in New York politics. Hearst's
followers charge that the machinery
of the old party was stolen through
manipulation at the recent
primaries.

SIGNS OF PROSPERITY
Carnegie Steel Co.'s Next Payroll Will
Be Largest In Two Years.

The bi-weekly payroll of the Car.
negie Steel company at Pittsburs
that will be given out next week
will be the largest that company has
handed out since the business depres.
sion of two years ago. 1t is estimated
that the next pay will reach 100000
or more. The increase is caused by
the many men that the company has
added to their roll since last payday.
Similar conditions prevail with the
National Tube company at all of their
plants and their pay will equal that
OF the Carnegie company.
In the Monongahela valley opera
tions are about % per cent of capa.
city and with the settlement of the
cutters and hatteners' strike at the
plant of the American Window Glass
company at Monongahela City the
per cent will be materially increased,
bringing it up to about 100 per cent.

CUT IN OFFICIAL SALARIES
Chicago Unable to Maintain Municipal
Payroll at Old Level.

A cut of 10 per cent in the sal.
aries of all officials and employees
of the city of Chicago, from Mayor
Busse's $4,000 down to the lowliest
laborer, has been agreed upon by the
mayor and department heads for next

The measure was made necessary
by the difficulty of maintaining the
payroll at It's old level, which last
year reached nearly $l5,OO0OOO
The cut before becoming effective
must be sanctioned by the city coun-
ell, where big fight against it is
expected.

BIEDERWOLF MOVES ON.
Evangelist Closes His Topeka Cam
paign With Big Meeting.

| The Rev. William Edward Biederwolf
has concluded his meetings at the Audi
torium. The last session was held last
night, when the Auditorium was
jammed full and an overflow meeting
was necessitated in the First Baptist
church. There wasn't much of a crown
ing effort in the closing meeting, either
financially or spiritually. At the close
of the big meeting, a few humble way
farers went toward the platform, and
expressed a desire to be better, but the
number was far in arrears of what was
forecasted when the evangeistic band
Swooped down upon the city.
DR.. Biederwolf slurred the State Jour
nal and praised another Topeka paper.
The latter criticised his meetings un-
State Journal has refrained from any
comment whatever, knowing that a
great many good people believed in
these meetings. The State Journal,
however, was not in sympathy with the
lslanderous attacks made by Rev. DR..
Biederwolf upon the good people of To-
peka.
If this paper had printed the things
that the Rev. Mr.. Biederwolf said we
I would have been condemned and we
would have deserved it. The State
Journal also knows that the best min
isterial talent in Topeka did not ap-
sulting language. The editor of this
paper gave the evangelist a large
amount of advance advertising, in a
dignifed manner, referring to his
meetings. There was no charge made
for this and the State Journal fails to
see why under the circumstances the
reverend gentleman should go out of
his way to refer to this paper.
We simply let him alone, declining
to further advertise his meetings, or
answer the outrageous attacks he
made upon some of the finest and
| best people in Topeka-knowing that
| what he said was untrue and knowing
| that being untrue it would not in the
end hurt the good people named.
| At the meeting last night DR., Bied-
| erwolf took pains to correct a state
ment he had made Saturday night in
which he referred to the Topeka Y w
| c. A. as a place where young girls were
| taught to dance He should have cor
rected other ISLANDERS on the fair name
| of excellent Topeka people.
| DR.. Biederwolf had a splendid chance
to accomplish much good for the cause
l-educated man, uses good language
often Incorporate language, in his ser
| mons, and has voice that for public
| speaking is only excelled by that of
William J. Bryan.
The present week will be spent by
DR.. Biederwolf in rounding up the
recalcitrants in other places where he
has held meetings. He will visit Sa-
lima, Smith Center, and other northern
and central Kansas towns. Next Sun
day night he will open up in Pittsburg
Kansas.
Prof. Rodeheaver, who accompanied
DR.. Biederwolf, made a great hit here
DR.. Rodeheaver is a good slide from
