his family, with a large loaded revoly.

the family were threatened with ex-
termination, but Busch finally left the
house, going into the old pickle fac.
tory, where it was believed he would
commit suicide. A rush call for the
police was turned in and Chief of
Police Marquardt and Patrolman
OBrien made the trip to the factory
in a hack. They met Busch on the
way with a length of rope and bun
die of old clothes in his arms. He
was arrested and lodged in the city
Jail He will probably be turned over
to the county authorities.
So numerous were the reports, that
Busch had killed himself, that the
news reached the ears of some city
official who ordered the undertaken to
remove the supposed corpse from the
old building. The undertaken made
the trip with the necessary parapher
MALTA but found the building deserted
and minus a corpse.
County Attorney Nichols ordered
Constable A. w. Finkhouse to take
Busch in charge this morning. His
wife went to Madison and filed a com.
plant against him today. Busch was
much better when seen in his cell in
the city Jail this morning. He is said
to be attacked nv insanity ar intar

A FREIGHT RATE COMPLAINT.
Minneapolis Shippers Claim They Can't
Do Business in Dakota,

Washington, June 3.-Freight rates
in the northwest were attacked today
before the interstate commerce com.
mission by the Minneapolis Traffic as
ISOLATION. The petition alleges that
the general freight rates between Min
neapolis and points in South Dakota
and other points in the northwest are
excessive and in some instances exhor-
bitant.
The complaint is framed by all of
the great shippers of that section, who
assert that the rates from Minneap-
oils to South Dakota and contiguous
points are so high as to render them
unable to do business.

Sinking Smut or Blunt.
At harvest time the heads affected
BY this smut contain no seed, but in
their places are false grains, within
which the germ has been replaced by
a powdery mass Of black smut pores.
Upon crushing such a smutted grain
between the fingers the characteristic
odor, from which the common name
rof the smut is derived, is evident. The
presence Of even small percentage of
smutted grains gives the wheat dis
agreeable odor and subjects it to a
heavy discount by the millers.
In threshing smutted grain many Of
the smutted berries are broken open
and the spores scattered over other
grains, to which many OF them adhere
In this manner the smut spores are
sown with the wheat itself. It is known
that these spores terminate in the soil
and infect the young wheat seedlings
possibly even before they emerge from
the soil. Since wheat can be infected
by the bunt only during the seeding
stage it is evident that any treatment
which will prevent the sowing of
spores with the grain should be effec-
tive. AS a matter of fact this is the
basis OF the seed treatment which has
long been used to prevent the various
grain SHUTS.
Loose Smut.
At harvest time the heads contain
no grains at all. but appear as black
powdery masses of spores. The wind
soon blows the spores away, leaving
only the naked central stalk OF the
head, to which are, attached a few
bracts or scales. These spores are
distributed over the field by the wind
and healthy wheat plants become in
tected while in flower The smut
fungus grows into the embryo before
the seed is ripe and hence cannot be
so readily killed by the same form of

Famous Records Saved

rotary Of State Cornelius Roach was
among the few happy men in JeiIer-
SON City to-day. Like everyone
else, he was depressed by the loss
Of the Capitol, but he could not help
showing his joy at having saved the
valuable records Of which he Is the

The land grants, which are needed
to perfect the title to every inch of
ground in the State, the corporation
records and countless other papers
stored in the vaults of his Office
were rescued practically unframed.
Included in the precious documents
are numerous parchments, among
them being the official antislaycry
proclamation of the State.
The Secretary also retains posses
sion of probably the only complete
record of the proceedings Of all the
Legislatures that ever convened in
Missouri. The Missouri Historical
Society may have n duplicate Of
these records, but there is no knowl-
edge OF an additional set in exist
cnce.
This valuable record has passed
through two Capitol fires. out of
the first building that was destroyed
some charred books were raked from
the ashes, and these, with odds and
ends picked up elsewhere, enabled
the completion of the record. Mr.
Roach has done much since his cleo
ton toward finishing this work.
1t was not generally known until
this morning that Secretary Roach
had spent his odd moments In gath
ering this data, and no was congrat-
ulated when the lawmakers were
told that he had succeeded In saving
the record from the flames.
Mr.. Roach had placed these rec
ords among the archives of the
State In fireproof vault in his Of
fee, and they were found unframed.
