Peking, Jan. 23.-Preparations to
resume the war in China begun to-
day, following the announcement of
the royal family that the imperial
treasures of the palace at Mukden
would be sold to raise money to fl
nance the campaign.
Not less than fourteen million dol
lars could be raised by the sale.
Prince Chung has notified the dow

loyal troops Immediately. Hundreds
of Manchus are offering their SER
vices. Premier Yuan is in hiding
and the war department is active.
The action of the Manchu rulers,
coupled with the almost certainty that
Premier Yuan will resign, is taken
by diplomats here to mean that there
will be another deluge of blood be-
fore the dynasty falls and repub-
lie is established.
1t is likely that the breaches in the
republican ranks will be healed by
the regulation of war.

NOT GOOD EVIDENCE
Sanborn County Case in Which
Bloodhound Was Re-
jected

Artesian, Dec. 21.-That bloodhound
evidence is not the best evidence is the
decision OF a Sanborn county justice
OF the peace when he dismissed the case
of the state vs.. Felix V%andeIvort. The
defendant was charged with having
made a murderous assault on Philip
Bogart, one of his n~eignbors, both
men living on farms. Late at night
Bogart was aroused by some one
breaking the windows of his home.
Bogart stuck his head out of the
window to ascertain who was respon-
sible for the damage, and as he did so
he was struck two heavy blows on the
head with a blunt instrument. His
assailant then disappeared. The sheriff
secured ~bloodhounds, took them to the
window, where Bogart was assaulted
and started them out, The hounds
went direct TO the home of Vandervort,
who was arrested while in bed. Bogart
claimed that as the result of previous
trouble Vandervort had threatened
several times to ''fx him." However,
after all the evidence of the prosecu-
tion had been introduced, including
the following of an alleged trail by
the bloodhounds, the justice decided
there was not sufficient evidence to
warrant him in holding the accused to
the state circuit court, and according.
ly dismissed the case.

DURUM WHEAT
Secretary Wilson States There
Is a High Market for
New Wheat

Washington. Dec. 27.-In a CONVEX
%sation had with Secretary Wilson of
the department Of agriculture, 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 macaioni wheat was introduced to
this country by the secretary of agri-
culture in 1888. 1t came from the dry
regions of southeastern Russia and was
introduced as a crop probably 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 depart.
ment.
The total acreage in this country has
advanced rapidly until two or three
million acres are grown annually. Elk
act figures IN production are difficult
to give because complete statistics on
this crop separate from the other class
es of wheat have been taken but once,
namely in 1898. The states Of North
Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota
are the leading producers, while Ne
braska, Kansas. Colorado, Wyoming
and Montana plant smaller aleas.
When this wheat first began to APP
pear on the market, a considerable
prejudice against it developed on the
part of the milling trade and the
price paid for it was as much as Is
cents a bushel lower than for other
wheat of a similar quality. This
difference in price has been gradually
decreasing 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 to or as much as So to rs cents
in advance of those paid for No. /
northern, which is the standard and
usually the highest priced wheat on
these markets.
The present comparatively high pric-
es of the durum wheat are in spite of a
normal production Of about forty mil
lion bushels. Ii is probable that 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 present, are responsible
for the record prices.
