self Two More Years.

The North Mankato annexation
bill was introduced in the legislature
too late and did not get far, and
would have had a hard fight, any
way.
The city got all that it asked for
for the state normal school, and a
fine ladies' dormitory will be built.
An appropriation of $1,000 for i'm
provements at Minneopa state park
was made, and about 500 of it will
be used to sink well, and the rest
will be devoted to other improve
ments.
The county of Blue Earth will
receive $4,000 for it's road and bridge
fund. This is what the state ap-
propriated two years ago for the
proposed new bridge across the Min
nesota river. The bill was declared
unconstitutional before this county
drew the money, and if it is not
used for the bridge it can be. placed
in the general road and bridge fund,
no doubt. This county has plenty

of the stolen beer was found the
the other day after the robbery of
the Standard Bottling works, and
after hunting around in the hay found
some twenty empty pint and quarter
bottles and another empty case. This
makes four cases recovered, whereas
it is thought that about twice that

through the house, but failed to
anything more.
This forenoon Johrn Traunsberger

hearing of the charge of burglary in

was dismissed on motion Of County
Attorney Schmitt and the charge oil
petit larceny was substituted, and
both defendants entered a plea OF
guilty. Traunsberger was sentenced

MORE ATTENTION BEING PAID
TO THIS FEATURE.
What Has Been Accomplished Dur
ing This Season BY the Hubbard
Milling Company.

The wheat seeding in this vicinity
is completed, and some of the early
sowing is already up. 1t is safe to
say that the crop has been sown
under almost ideal conditions, as the
ground could scarcely be in better
shape.
More attention has been paid to
the selection and cleaning of seed
wheat than ever before, and it is be-
lieved that splendid results will be
shown in increased yield and better
quality.
The Hubbard Milling company sold
and cleaned for farmers about five
thousand bushels of seed wheat, and
if this seed gives the increased yield
that it has for the past three or
four years. it is probable nearly
every farmer in this vicinity will
have his wheat cleaned at the mill
in the future. An increase of three
to five bushels per acre. pays so
handsomely that it cannot be
ignored
interested IN Quaiity.
The milling company is not only
interested in yield, but still more in
quality. Making speciality of high
grade flour, they are always in the
market for choice milling wheat Dur
ing the past year, they have paid
special attention to the quality of
the wheat bought on the local mar
/ ket, and have found n number of
farmers who have delivered wheat
so superior in quality as to make it
worthy of special mention. Some of
these samples have averaged from
thirty to fifty per cent more gluten
than ordinary wheat, making it very
desirable for milling purposes. In
every case this superior wheat has
been grown by careful farmers, who
gave their crops special attention,
cutting the wheat little green,
shocking and stacking it in good
shape, thus producing wheat free
from yellow, light colored kernels.
and almost good enough to grade
| No. ] hard.
Quality Can Be Improved.
Manager George NJ Palmer is of
the opinion that the yield and quail
ity of wheat can be very greatly
improved by first class methods, and
is doing all he can to encourage
the growth of good wheat. The
yellow, light colored wheat, which
is the direct result of poor methods
of farming, too late cutting and poor
protection from the weather, is not
nearly as valuable for milling, and
will be sharply Disseminated against
in the future. Farmers who raise
superior quality of wheat will obtain
more money for it, as a special
grade will be established for such
wheat, if its milling value war.
rants it.
! The methods of the local mill in
furnishing seed wheat have been
widely copied this season, and in
this vicinity have been much appre-
clated by progressive farmers, who
are awake to the Importance of bet
ter methods all along the line.

STRANGER TURNS A TRICK AT

on, the other man helped himself to
two shoes that were on display in
the front of the store. The shoes
were both rights, of different sizes
and makes, but this fact seemed to
have escaped the attention of the
thief.
A short time afterwards a stranger
tried to sell the shoes at Shapiro

chased them for quarter, and then

Either Plan Satisfactory.
Either plan would be satisfactory
to the public. Some of the directors
OF the street railway company are
known to favor taking the track out
OF Warren street, in compliance
with public opinion, as we'll as from
financial point of view. This block
has been an expensive one to ope-
rate, on account of the curves and
the water washing mud down from
the hills on both sides and filling
the rails, and also from the fact
that no momentum can be used in
going up the hills. The cars have
TO go very slowly around the curves
and then start up hill both ways
Besides this, it is an hourly occur
renee, almost, that cars have to stop
for the motormen or conductors to
lead teams by to avoid accident.
That means good deal of lost pow
er in starting again.
No Patronage Would Be Lost.
NO trade would be lost to the
street car company by changing IT'S
tracks according to either plan pro-
posed, but the public would be a
great deal better satisfied. More
farmers come to the city to trade
over this road than any other lead
ing into the city, funeraL professions
