PREDICTED FOR SEASON
SUMMARY OF CROP SITUATION
IN NORTHWEST PREPARED
BY GRAIN FIRM

Minneapolis, Minn., Sept. 18th. =
Railroad tonnage in the Northwest
resulting directly or indirectly from
the big crops will be SO heavy, accord
ing to summary issued by the Charles
E. Lewis Company, that earnings will
rise this season to record totals and the
prediction is made in the summary
that the Northern Pacific will exhibit
the largest earnings in their history in
the next six months.
1.-The largest one-way tonnage is
certain because of the record crops"
the report says, land as it is an es-
tablished commercial fact that only
so per cent of the value received for
crops and produce from point of dis
tribution is returned in the form of
money, the other so per cent being
returned in the form of merchandise,
farm machinery and living necessities,
we assume that the return tonnage will
be of gigantic proportions"

TAKE OWN LIVES
As A TRIBUTE
COUNT NOGI AND WIFE COMMIT
FATAL ACTS AS BODY OF
EMPEROR LEAVES.
GEN. TOOK PORT ARTHUR.
Huge Casket Bearing Body of Mutsu-
hito Is Borne on Two
Wheeled Cart Drawn
BY Oxen.

Toxic, Sept. 16-General Count
Maresuke Nogi, supreme military
councillor of the empire, and his wife.
the Countess Nogi, took their own
lives in accordance with the ancient
Japanese custom as final trubite to
their departed Emperor and friend
Mutsulito.
Following the Sameuri custom, the
couple had carefully prepared their
plans for self-destruction and timed
them so that they would be coincident
with the departure forever from To-
kio of the dead Emperor
General Nogi and the Countess had
attended the funeral services of Nut
suhito at the palace here and it was
expected that they would proceed to
Aoyama with the cortege. Instead,
however, at the conclusion of the cere-
mony at the palace, they withdrew to
their modest home in Akasaka. a SUBJ
urb of Toxic.
The tragedy created profound SEN
sation and expressions of sorrow were
heard on every hand.
Those who knew General Nogi we'll
spoke of his stoicism. They in
stanced the famous charge of the
Japanese up 203 Meter Hill during the
Russo-Japanese war, when, as COM
mander of the Japanese Third Army.
Nogi saw the Russians NOV down his
forces in hundreds, among them two
of his own sons, and yet quietly and
fearlessly continued the battle, TAX
ing the Hill and eventually being
handed the surrender of Lieutenant
General Stoessel at Port Arthur.
The body of Emperor Mutushito was
conveyed from Toxic to Aoyama on
the first stage of its journey to its last
resting place at Monoyama.
1t was picturesque though solemn
procession. Borne on two-wheeled
cart, drawn by oxen, the huge cacket
containing the body of the emperor
was taken through lines of soldiers.
back of whom thronged thousands of
natives and numerous foreigners, over
three miles of road brilliantly lighted
by torches and arc lights.

MEDICAL STUDENTS FEW.
Conditions In London Causing Uneasi,
ness Among Profession.

London, Sept. 16.-Apart from the
influence of the insurance act the
shortage in the entries of medical stu.
dents has for years past been Great
ing a feeling of uneasiness among the
leading members of the medical pro-
fession of Great Britain.
With continually growing popula-
tion and with an incessant increase
in the number of appointments open
to the medical profession, the entry
of students has been so seriously de-
creased as to cause acute anxiety, at
least in the London medical schols.
The official figures published by the
general medical council for the
United Kingdom emphasize the fact
that the gravity of the situation is
general rather than local.
