say, no one thinks of giving them
credit for what they do not say.
Yet what they keep to themselves
constitutes the major portion of
what they know about people.
Very many people harbor the
belief that newspaper are eager to
publish derogatory things. It's a
mistake. There isn't a newspaper
that could not spring a sensation
in the community at any time by
merely telling what it know s.
There is not newspaper that does
not keep undcr the lock cf secrecy
scores of derogatory things which
never meet the public eye or reach
the public ear. Deciding what not
to print is the most troubleson G
part of newspaper work.
The many good stories suppressed
because of innocent relatives and
for the good of the public nobody
outside of Newspaper Office has
any way of knowing.

grateful to the newspaper for
publishing so little of what it

is often a device employed to cover
trepidation.
Newspapers put up with lmore
bIuffing than any other agency
would endure. 1t is not because
they lack courage; il is because
they are unwilling to use their
power to destroy or ruin unless the

SILVER PRICE MAY
ASCEND TO SO CENTS

Efwari Brush, vice president of
the American Sme ting & Refining
company and a recognized author
ity on silver, summarized the
silver situation in an interview
with the Wall Street Journal as
follows:
The recent abrupt rise in silver
prices was due, in my estimation.
wholly tu speculative causes which
have no direct relations with de-
mand and supply. The bears sold
without expecting to be compelled
to make actual deliveries and
found that the India Specie Bank
had effected a practical corner in
spot silver. AS a result spot
advanced to 25Ed an ounce, while
future only went to 24Sd.
Naturally the Specie bank
could not have n ade the corner
and pinched the bears unless the
silver surplus had been somewhat
curtailed, and unless the bank S
hackers hal a strong belief in
silver's future. The bank has now
probably somewhat around 10, 900,
oOO ounces Of the metal in its
vaults, which must be realized
upon, and is undoubtedly counting
upon the India governmet to enter
the market as buyer this fall.
The government has not bought
silver for about three years, and
if il becomes purchaser the price
will very likely go to 60 cents an
ounce.
"In addition to the panic of
1897, which was reflected in India,
that country has suffered from two
famines with consequent dearth
of exports and consequent accumu-
ldtion Of rupees in the govern
ment's hands. At one time the
accumulation was as large as 52O,-
100000 rupees. At the present
time it is about 100000, 900 rupees.
Before another year the point or
chrores, or 100, 100000 rupees will
probably be reached. at which
point the government is alw ays a
buyer Of the white metal.
Everything in India depends
upon the crops, and without ques-
ton the India Specie Bank invcsti
gated and found the crop situation
satisfactory before cleaning up the
spot silver.
"The present fluctuations will
have little material effect upon the
production Of silver, for the reason
that in this country with the ex-
ception of the CObalIs district,
silver is chiefly produced in con-
junction with copper and lead.
Cobalt's highest production was
about 25. 100000 ounces per annum
and It is now producing somewhat
less than this amount. Where
silver occurs in the cobalt district
il occurs so richly that it could be
mined with profit even il silver
were selling at 25 cents an ounce,
so it is clear that market huctua-
tions can have little influence upon
production in this country"

ALFALFA ON THE BILL or FARE

Time was and it was not so many
years ago, when a stock joke in the
west ran something like this:
"You can do this or that. bat
you can't eat hay" The joke has
turned, and today the vast major
ity of families in the west are
eating alfalfa, until recently con-
sidered food for cattle, horses and
hogs. They are going even
further and taking a powuer made
from the blooms of the plant a
medicine for insomnia, indigestion
and stomach trouble.
To make the alfalfa meal and
-four, the grass is cut early in June
and at a time when it is in full
bloom. 1t is cured in the .un, and
if possible, without being wet by
the rain. When thoroughly dry
the leaves are stripped from the
stock and these leaves, mixed with
wheat at ratio of onc-third
alfalfa to two-thirds wheat are
ground into coarse meal. This
meal is used for cakes. as well as
breakfast food.
That desired for bread and
pastry is ground still finer ard
bolted, and placed on the mar ket
and can be sold for about so cents
per sack of fifty pounds, whereas
a good grade of wheat -four will
retail at $3.50 to.$l.75 per sack
of the same weight. So the only
thing that can he regarded as
Objectionable about the alfalfa
meal or flour is the color. Instead
of being "hite it is bright
emerald green. The color remains
through the cooking process. and
plate of hot biscuits or a plate of
cake comes to the table as green
as the grass in the field.
So far as being nutritious, the
alfalfa product has the wheat and
corn badly beaten, and experiments
show that man who eats alfalfa
can work longer and harder, ex-
periencing less fatigue than a man
who makes a meal out Of meat.
Then, too, il is a medicine in a
way as it acts tpJn the nerves,
and Omaha doctors have COM
mcnced prescribing it as a remedy
for insomnia. For the nerves, the

in another form. The blossoms
are gathered at a time when they
are in full bloom. Like the hay
they are gathered without rnois.

ground to a fine powder which is a

COLORADO MIDLAND
TO ABOLISH AGENCY
San Francisco Office Will Be
Closed July /

The agency of the Colorado Midland
railroad in this city will be abolished
July /, according to advices received
yesterday. The order abolishes not
only the local agency but every agency
outside of Colorado. The Colorado
Midland will, after July 1, be repre-
sented by the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy, which road owns half inter-
est in it.
The abolishing of outside agencies
does not come as surprise to railroad
men. Some years ago, when the Mid
land was an independent road and be-
fore the merger of the Union Pacific
and Southern Pacific, the Midland did
considerable business on this coast, but
during the last few years the Southern
Pacific has been keen competitor for
business emanating here and destined
for Colorado, because its affiliated line,
the Union Pacific, reaches all of those
Colorado points.
The Office in this city has been main
tained by w. II. Davenport. The Mid
land force here expects to be located
in new positions by July 1.
