OBTAINED EVIDENCE
OF HIS INNOCENCE

STEELE, N. D., Dec. 26.-To OBJ
tain evidence with which to establish
his innocence of the charge of steal
ing grain, John Nell, held in the Kid
der county Jail here, induced Sheriff
Armstrong to 60 to Pettibone, this
county, with him, and there the afr
cial was satisfied that certain evil
dence given against Nell is at fault.
When Nell was arraigned in JUS
tice court a witness claimed that he
had seen Nell driving a load of grain
stolen from a box car. In his evi.
dence the witness had given his own
position. 1t was while in Jail that Mel
figured it out that the witness could
not possibly have seen him from the
place given, and it was to prove this
point that he induced the sheriff to
make the trip. Sheriff Armstrong on
his return admitted that the contents
Of the wagon box in which Nell was
charged with having stolen the grain
could not possibly have been cen by
the witness as alleged. Nells case
comes before the district court in
January.

lection and practically e%radicated.
Medical science has discovered new
methods of treating still other dis
eases so as greatly to reduce their
severity and consequent high death
rate.
From a layman's. as we'll as from
an economic viewpoint, the most in
teresting and important achievements
have been the discoveries for the pre-
v~ention of disease. 1t has been the
ambition of this association to bear
a modest part in this great move
ment and to lend a helping hand to.
ward the conservation of human life.
While the association is not organ
lied primarily for such purposes, yet
every thinking person must admit
that they have a direct relationship
TO the business in which the members
of the association are engaged; and
consequently are proper subjects for
the consideration of the association
itself.
EVERY policy-h0lder is directly in
terested in the actual mortality expe-
rienced by his company; and is in
directly interested in the hygienic
condition of the communities in which
all the policy-holders live, and from
which future accessions to member
ship must be obtained.
Medical and hygienic science have,
in recent years. made enormous
strides, both in the control and pre-
vention of many forms Of disease;
yet such scientific knowledge cannot
ibe advantageously made use of with
out reliable vital statistics. The
same principles apply as in private
business affairs. If an expert is EN-.
ployed to advise a manufacturer with
reference to the condition of his at.
fairs, he will at once ask to see the
books. He cannot advise as to the
cost of production or manufacture OF
goods, or as to the actual present fin.
ancial condition If no books of &C,
count have been kept, and if there are
no written records showing past
transactions and present conditions
A patient cannot be intelligently
treated until the physician has an &C
curate history Of the case. A lawyer
cannot wisely advise a client until
all the facts are furnished him. This
is so, and eve more SO, in the case
Of communities. In some localities
the highest mortality is experienced
from those diseases which are now
known to be largely preventable. Fa'
miliarity seems to breed, in this case,
apathy.

TOP PRICES PAID
FOR DURUM WHEAT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-In a con-
y%ersation had with Secretary Wilson
OF the department of agriculture sew
eral days ago, he called attention to
the fact that the market prices for
durum wheat grown in this country
are higher than ever before.
1t will be remembered that durum.
or macaroni, wheat was introduced tt
this country by the secretary of agri-
culture in 1898. 1t Came from the
dry regions OF southeastern Russia
and was introduced as a crop proba-
bly, adapted to successful cultivation
on the semi.arid plains of the west.
From the point of view of the dry
land farmer, the crop proved to be all
that was claimed for it by the federal
department.
The total acreage in this country
has advanced rapidly until two or
three million acres are grown annu-
ally. Exact figures on production
are difficult to give, because complete
statistics on this crop separate from
the other classes Of wheat have been
taken but once, namely, in 1899. The
states OF North Dakota, South Dakota
and Minnesota are the leading pro-
ducers, while Nebraska. Kansas, Colo
RADIO, Wyoming and Montana pant
smaller areas.
When this wheat first began to ap.
pear on the market, a considerable
prejudice against 1t developed on the
part of the milling trade and the price
paid for 1t was as much as Is cents
q busiiel lower than for other wheat
Of a similar quality. This difference
iii price has been gradually decreas.
ing until for the last three or four
weeks, highest cash prices paid daily
for durum wheat on the Duluth and
Minneapolis markets have been equal

advance OF those paid for No. / North.

a constantly increasing use of the
durum -four in the making of bread,
either alone or in combination with
common wheat -four, together with
the inability of the Mediterranean
markets to obtain durum wheats from
Russia and the Balkan states at pres
ent. are responsible for the record
prices.

PUSHING HOSPITAL FIGHT

Copies Of the resolutions adopted by
the board Of directors OF Columbia Hos
pital at its meeting on Tuesday night
were yesterday sent to Representative
Martin D. Foster, Of Illinois, House MEM
Der Of the hospital board, and Senator
Jacob II. Gallirger. chairman Of the
Senate District Committee, by Col Rich
ard r. Mcmahon. president OF the board.
The resolutions embody the views OF the
board in regard to the erection OF a new
hospital building on the present site and
the maintenance of the present hospital
until plans can be completed and the
necessary appropriation secured for the
proposed new building.
These resolutions will be taken up by
the Senate District Committee in con-
nection with the apeal OF the friends Of
the hospital, representing, as they do,
the sentiment Of the directors Of the
hospital.
The board of women visitors OF the hos
pital will meet at 1880 o'clock this morn
ing to discuss plans for furtherfng the
fight to save the institution.
II is probable that representatives Of
the board OF directors will not have an
interview with President Taft for sew
tral weeks, in regard to enlisting his
support for the hospital This was stated
yesterday by Col. Mcmahon, who de-
cIared that there is no use in rushing
matters, but that it is wisest to follow
the advice of Senator Gallinger and let
things run their course for several weeks.

STOCK EXCHANGES
VALUE TO NATION
Allan G. Hoyt Lectures to Local
5 Branch of American Insti-
tute of Banking.

Despite its many evils, the stock ex-
change is of vast value to the nation, "
declared Allan G. Hoyt. of the N. W.
Halsey Company banking firm. Of New
York, in a lecture on Stocks and bonds
last night in GUIDES Hall, before the
Washington branch Of the American In
stitute Of Banking. There is no coun-
try Of any Importance" continued the
flourish. The great nations could not
exist well without these institutions"
Mr.. Hoyt distinguished between the
technical meaning of the words ''stocks''
and bonds stating that as n general
rule, stocks are speculative, while bonds
usually are safe. Mr.. Hoyt. who recently
went abroad to study foreign banking
institutions, described and explained in
detail the operation OF the stock ex-
changes Of Paris, Berlin, London. Tokyo.
and New York. He said that the bourse
OF Paris has limited membership OF
about seventy, while the membership of
the Berlin stock exchange ranges be-
tween 1900 and 1900. The London stock
exchange, he said. has q membership Of
approximately 5000.
Mr.. Hoyt said that the Tokyo stock
exchange dates from the seventeenth CEN
fury, when the old rice exchange was
established.
From my observations abroad" said
the speaker, the great difference be-
twen our practice and foreign practice is
that abroad the trading is for account
instead Of for immediate delivery, as is
the custom in our exchanges. Abroad
there are practically no. jumps in the
interest rate, such as are so frequently
experienced IN this country"
The meeting was in charge of W. W.
Spade, chairman of the educational COM
mIttee. H. V. Haynes, chairman Of the
educational committee, made a final re-
port on the banquet to be held tomorrow
night at the New Raleigh Hotel. The
banquet promises to be the best attended
Of any yet held by the bankers. Two
hundred and thlrty-three have already
signlfied their intention OF being present.
It is expected that the number will be
increased to 800.
